Boom~

A massive explosion swept across the entire Wind Dragon Ruins, and the shockwave spread in all directions, reducing many old buildings to rubble. Faced with such a powerful shockwave, Boreas flashed to protect the 'weak' Yae no Kami behind him.

If something were to happen to this little fox while it was with him, the expert who made it would definitely come looking for trouble. He didn't want to lose face in front of Lei Ze.

Wendy, who was watching the scene from outside the Wind Dragon Ruins, was numb with disgust at the sight of the devastation inside. Good heavens, couldn't they find another place to wreak havoc? If the Wind Dragon Ruins continued to be ransacked like this, it would have to be renamed Wind Dragon Basin.

On the tower, a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose. The dense fire element and the ice element left behind by Boreas underwent a violent melting reaction. Combined with the destructive power of the bomb itself, the combination of the two was not as simple as one plus one.

The three protective shields that should have been broken by finding three mechanisms within the Wind Dragon Ruins were blown open. Moreover, Klee had specifically used the knowledge mentioned in Lilith's notes to create this bouncing bomb, making it a level above the fireworks she had made a few days ago in terms of both power and the fire element it generated.

When the black smoke dissipated, the tower that was originally about the same height as the West Wind Cathedral was now blasted down to half its original height, and the surrounding buildings suffered even more damage. If the previous Wind Dragon Ruins were broken walls and ruins, then the current Wind Dragon Ruins were the real ruins.

In the vast open space, Porias looked at the tower still emitting black smoke in the distance and suddenly felt that he was getting old. How many years has it been? Young people nowadays can come up with such hidden weapons that look like just small stones but can actually kill a bunch of demons. This is too unethical.

If this thing had been invented during the Demon God War, then his pack of wolf cubs would probably be almost wiped out. Thinking of this, Porias snorted coldly.

"If I had known about this, I would have had that brat Lei Ze carry a few with him. That way, he would have some means of self-defense if we encountered danger."

“Oh, senior Andreus, we should go check on Dvalin now. It’s been so long and there hasn’t been a sound from him. Could he not be inside?”

"Impossible, I will never forget the scent of Dvalin."

Boreas gathered a ball of wind element in his mouth and spewed it toward the black smoke. The fierce wind blew the black smoke away, exposing the tragic state of Tvalin in the tower to everyone.

"Why is Tvalin not moving? Could he have been blown up?"

"Should we go over and take a look?"

Outside the Wind Dragon Ruins, although Dvalin had blown himself onto a tree branch, the kind-hearted Paimon was still worried about Dvalin's safety. It was impossible for Wendy not to feel sorry for his old friend.

However, he didn't know how Dvalin had offended Andrius. If he went there rashly, he might offend Andrius. Moreover, he believed that Andrius knew what was going on and would at most teach Dvalin a lesson.

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that the explosion just now was related to Klee."

Qin muttered something to herself, but she quickly dismissed her guess. Recently, Klee had been being taken care of by Yae-no-miya, the Yae-no-miya, and given Yae-no-miya's character, he probably wouldn't let Klee cause trouble.

"Look, Ying, it's us!"

As Wendy was racking her brains for a solution, Paimon's words gave her an idea. "That's right, isn't such a perfect tool right beside me? I should make good use of him."

"Ying, the ice that was blocking the way has now melted. Let's go and see what's going on inside."

Inside the tower, Dvalin lay weakly on the ruins. If he hadn't reacted quickly and used his wind element to shield himself, he would probably be roasted and chilled dragon meat by now.

"Who attacked me? Show yourself!"

flapping its injured wings, Dvalin, unable to fly properly, roared furiously. The wind elements within the Dragon Ruins immediately became active upon sensing Dvalin's rage. Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes; if she wasn't mistaken, Dvalin seemed to have regained some of its rationality.

Wendy also noticed that the two blood crystals on Dvalin's body seemed to have been largely destroyed by the explosion. In her excitement, she inadvertently let out the aura of the wind god.

With keen eyes, Boreas looked toward the entrance to the Wind Dragon Ruins. It was the presence of Barbatos. He never expected that the carefree wind god would come here. It was truly beyond his expectations.

However, he had no intention of going back just like that. Even if Barbatos came today, it wouldn't make a difference. Dvalin was going to get a beating, just like Boreas said!

"Senior Andreus is truly a role model for us to beat up the servants of the wind god in front of him."

(I caught a cold, so only one update today. Remember to dress warmly when you go out, guys. Even though it's spring now, the wind outside is still pretty cold. Don't ask me how I know, I just experienced it myself.)

Chapter Seventy-Three: Revenge (4)

At this moment, Dvalin, who sensed Venti's presence, was extremely angry. "I went out and caused trouble, and you blew me up once, fine. But I was sleeping peacefully in my lair, and you fucking blew up my lair?! You can't bully a dragon like this!"

Growing increasingly enraged, Dvalin unleashed a burst of wind elemental energy at the approaching crowd. If he didn't hang these people on the tower of the Stormterror's Lair today, how could he, Dvalin, ever show his face in Mondstadt again?

"Disperse!"

Jean, wielding the Windhawk Sword, dispelled Dvalin's wind element with a single strike. Jean at her peak was a force to be reckoned with, a fact both Diluc and Venti were well aware of. Paimon, however, exclaimed in astonishment, his eyes wide with wonder.

"Wow, Qin is amazing! Ying, when will you be this strong?"

Ying, who had been pricked, gripped her Flying Sword tightly and glared at Paimon. It seemed that her midnight snack for tonight was sorted out. She hadn't used the portable cooking pot that Su Bai had given her yet, so she would try it out tonight.

Paimon felt a chill run down her spine, as if a malicious force was watching her. When she turned around, the maliciousness had disappeared. How strange. Paimon scratched her head, but being carefree, she thought she had just imagined it and didn't take it to heart.

"Lord Wendy, please use your wind element to send me to Dvalin, and I will help him find release."

Not wanting to see anyone else holding a harp, she presented Wendy with her battle plan: she would solo Dvalin. Wendy's lips twitched. This relief was probably not the relief he had imagined, but a true relief in the real sense. This woman was as fierce as her ancestors.

"Tvalin, have you become so petty that you bully ordinary people? That's really disappointing."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Boreas's eyes. Boreas, who had exhausted his strength to dispel the snowstorm in Mondstadt, had originally had high hopes for Dvalin and Barbatos. In the end, one of them was slacking off all day, and the other was now bullying ordinary people. Boreas now wanted to go back in time and slap his former self, asking him how he had been so blind back then.

"Andreus? You did all of this??"

“That’s right, it’s me, Dvalin. It’s time to settle our score.”

Upon hearing Boreas's affirmative answer, Dvalin's eyes turned red. "So, it was you who did it! You blew me up twice and still dare to show your face in front of me. You really don't know what death means, do you?"

Dvalin ignored Wendy and flapped his wings, charging towards Boreas. Boreas was amused to see Dvalin charging towards him. He had been thinking that it would be difficult to fight Dvalin in the air, but he didn't expect Dvalin to give up his advantage in the sky and engage in close combat with him.

"Um, Lord Wendy, does the blood of dragons have the side effect of making Dvalin stupid?"

Not far away, Qin saw Dvalin being pinned to the ground by Boreas, struggling like a large, fluttering moth, and suddenly felt a pang of pity for Dvalin.

Wendy was also unsure whether the blood of the dragon Dwarin had such an effect. If it did, then it would be fine to clean up the tainted blood. But if it didn't, then wouldn't Dwarin become stupid?

"This is the first time I've discovered that there's something even dumber than Paimon."

Ying sighed helplessly. She had been worried for the wolf when she saw Dvalin rush towards it, but now the wolf had swatted Dvalin to the ground with a single paw. (This scene is from a video of a kitten swatting a fluttering moth.)

"Andreus, let me go! If you've got the guts, let me go! Let's have a contest of elemental power!"

Dvalin roared in frustration as Andreus pinned him down in his claws, but Andreus's strength at his peak was not something he could break free from. No matter how much Dvalin twisted his body, he could not escape from Andreus's claws.

"Tvalin, you've lived so many years, how come you seem to be going backwards?"

"You, a lively and energetic fellow, dare to challenge a wisp of my remnant soul to a contest of elemental power? Aren't you ashamed to say that out loud?"

Boreas was so angry at these words that he laughed. Damn it, if he wasn't just a remnant soul, he could turn that little guy Dvalin into an ice sculpture with a single breath of his elemental power.

Wait, when did Dvalin get a black blood clot on his head? This thing doesn't look like anything good. Boreas used his claws to poke at the filthy blood that had been blown off half of Dvalin's head. The moment he touched it, Dvalin felt his soul move. Damn, it hurt so much.

"Andreus, let go of your claws, it hurts so much!"

"Tvalin, what's that dark thing on your head? It looks kind of weird."

"It's none of your business, you dead wolf, let me go."

Upon hearing this, Boreas was immediately displeased. Good heavens, I'm trying to show you some concern, and you not only don't appreciate it but also scold me. What kind of logic is this? Since Barbatos hasn't disciplined you properly, then I'll discipline you properly for Barbatos' sake.

At this moment, Yae no Miko, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, silently condensed three Sesshō-Sakura shards. Under Yae no Miko's control, the lightning summoned by the three Sesshō-Sakura shards struck down fiercely at the filthy blood.

"ang~"

The relentless attacks brought intense pain, causing Dvalin's screams to vary in pitch. Boreas glanced at Dvalin under his paws, surprised that this kid, who had listened to Barbatos's harp for so many years, could actually hum a few lines. He did have some musical talent, after all.

Tvalin didn't care what Boreas thought at the moment; all he wanted now was to kill the woman who had struck him with lightning. The pain, which seemed to touch his very soul, was driving him to the brink of madness.

"Oh dear, don't be so irritable~ I'm just trying to help you."

"If you don't clean the blood off your head in time, you will eventually lose your mind."

Yae no Miko pulled out a bag of violet melon seeds from somewhere and started cracking them open. Violets are very cheap in Inazuma. The day Su Bai, Ichito and Ayato accidentally ate a few violet melon seeds that had been roasted over a campfire, this cheap and delicious snack immediately became popular throughout Inazuma.

Don't underestimate this little thing; the profit margin is huge. Back then, no family in Inazuma cared about such a small thing as melon seeds, and some big families even mocked the Kamisato family for selling everything.

As a result, this little gadget brought considerable profits to the Kamisato family, which was besieged on all sides at the time, giving them a breather from their economic crisis.

(Selling sunflower seeds and various roasted nuts is really profitable. Today, when I went to buy sunflower seeds, I overheard the auntie selling them chatting with the people around her. She said her family owns three houses...)

Chapter Seventy-Four: Revenge (The End)

"Ahem, Porias, Yae no Miko, it's been a long time."

"Lord Wind God, it's been a long time. I never expected to meet you here."

Yae no Miko covered her mouth, looking very surprised. Paimon sniffed, smelling a scent she had never smelled before. It smelled so good.

Seeing Paimon's greedy look, Yae no Miko wasn't stingy and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, stuffing them into Paimon's hand. Paimon, seeing Yae no Miko's generosity, immediately gave her a big smile.

"Thank you, Sister Fox."

"But how am I supposed to eat this?"

Paimon was quite distressed because both of his little hands were holding sunflower seeds and he couldn't eat them. He was so anxious that he spun around in mid-air. Yae no Miko covered her mouth and looked at Paimon with a smile. It seemed that this little guy was not very smart.

At this moment, Paimon's best friend, the designated emergency food provider, Ying, stepped forward. With a wave of her hand, Ying snatched most of the sunflower seeds from Paimon's hand, freeing up one of Paimon's hands.

Click~

"Mmm, this stuff is really delicious. Paimon, you eat it! Why are you looking at me like that?"

Following Yae no Miko's example, Ying cracked open a sunflower seed. The rich aroma of the seed spread in her mouth, instantly winning over Ying, who hadn't eaten many snacks on the Teyvat continent.

Paimon stared blankly at the sunflower seeds that were now mostly gone from her hand, then looked at Ying who hadn't stopped eating, and finally realized that Ying had snatched her food away.

"Hey, Ying, that's mine!"

Yae no Miko watched the two little ones bickering with a smile. She used to tease Su Bai like this a lot when he was little, but as Su Bai grew up and made friends, he didn't like playing with his older sister as much anymore.

"Sigh, those siblings from the Kamisato family said that keeping that little tanuki by Shiro's side was to make it easier for Shiro to pass on information. Humph, it turns out it was just to create chance encounters."

Thinking of this, Yae no Miko's smile gradually faded. If she remembered correctly, that shrine maiden named Nana was the little tanuki's boss. Since she loved relaying messages so much, she would let the little tanuki run a few laps around Inazuma Castle every day to get some exercise.

"Hmph, Barbatos, I thought you'd just sit back and watch the show. What, feeling sorry for Dvalin now?"

Boreas and Barbatos are of the same generation, and he is not afraid of Barbatos. On the contrary, Barbatos respects Boreas because Boreas exhausted his strength to dispel the snowstorm for Mondstadt.

"Hey, Porias, what did Dvalin do to you? Why are you so angry?"

"Hmph, Dvalin almost killed my son. Don't you think I should settle the score with him?"

"Let me tell you, Barbatos, if it weren't for your sake, just for the fact that Tvalin bullied Rezer, I would have castrated him long ago. Why would I let him bark like a dog here?"

Razer was the one that Porias had the highest hopes for over the years. In Porias' heart, Razer was no different from his own wolf cubs; they were all his children.

Wendy initially thought that Dvalin had caused trouble in Wolfrune and that Boreas had come to settle scores, but he never expected that things were so complicated. Dvalin had actually bullied Razor because of his strength.

Jean glanced at the imposing Boreas, then at Dvalin at Boreas's feet. Well, she decided to remain silent. Diluc, standing nearby, stared at Boreas with deadpan eyes, determined to draw Boreas's likeness when he returned, so he could tell his descendants that the Wolf King truly existed.

Wait a minute, if the Wolf King really exists, then the legendary two-handed sword, Wolf's End, must also exist. Thinking of this, Diluc's dead fish eyes emitted a glimmer of light. Perhaps he could visit the Wolf King in Wolf's Territory sometime.

"When you two are chatting, could you ask that woman next to you to take off the lightning first? It hurts so much."
