Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

This prompted D'Artagnan, who had been waiting for a long time and was ready to go, to stretch his body and grin with an eager expression on his face.

"Is it finally my turn? I've been itching to show off my skills for ages."

The boy, who could no longer suppress his fighting spirit, drew his twin swords, which gleamed with a cold light, and performed a beautiful sword flourish, his eyes now sharp as a warrior's.

As the water and lightning elements on the figure of the young man dressed in black began to surge, the two sharp longswords were thus combined and transformed into a long spear flashing with lightning under the drive of elemental power.

Under the influence of the elemental force, the surging lightning element seeped from Tartaglia's feet into the water beneath her feet, causing bursts of lightning to surge on the ground, as if something had exploded at that moment.

That was the negligible elemental power that Dartalia released after using the power of the Evil Eye. The elemental power that was simply released unconsciously had already created an unimaginable sense of oppression, which made Lothia, the Lord of the Pure Water, feel extremely threatened.

She could sense that this seemingly ordinary young man possessed a terrifying power that could directly threaten her life. The violent and icy water element carried a chaotic and disorderly quality that instilled fear and dread.

She had assumed she would be facing Pantalone, and she was even prepared to fight him to the death. She could sense that.

Beneath Pantalonena's seemingly ordinary exterior lies a terrifying power.

Just like when she used all her strength against Pantalone, she found that not only did her power fail to harm Pantalone, but it was also blocked by an invisible force.

She didn't know what that power was, but she could see what the 'element' that was hidden beneath Pantarone's body, which was made of a false body, was, flowing through her limbs and bones to drive her body.

That highly polluting power that can devour the land, reverting it to its original state and making it more suitable for the 'light realm creatures' to live in, is undoubtedly the elemental force from the 'light realm'.

Although she was shocked by this, she did not find it unbelievable.

As the former chief pure water spirit spy of Fontaine, Lotia knew that there was no shortage of madmen who coveted those powers on this continent of Teyvat, and Pantarone's behavior was no different from those madmen in Lotia's memory.

Having confirmed this, she was already prepared to fight Pantalone to the death.

To Lotia's utter surprise, she discovered that the enemy she was facing was not Pantalone, as she had initially thought, but rather the human boy beside Pantalone who didn't look particularly special.

But when she began to observe the seemingly ordinary human boy closely, she realized just how terrifying the power he possessed was.

The water elemental power that was boiling in harmony with Tartaglia's will was telling her about the immense power Tartaglia possessed.

As a spirit of pure water, she knows the power of water better than anyone else.

"Pure water" possesses both a gentle and all-encompassing nature, capable of transforming into any form and manifesting in the myriad forms of the forest, and a terrifying and cold nature, capable of devouring and tearing apart all living things on the ground.

Without a doubt, the water elemental power that Tartaglia possesses represents the cold and terrifying aspect of "water," which devours and tears everything in its path.

The Pure Water Sprite is adept at transforming water forms and can also synchronize emotions and knowledge by fusing with other water bodies.

This is a characteristic possessed by the Pure Water Sprite.

The purer the water, the stronger the power that the water spirit can possess.

However, this also means that if the water of a pure water spirit is polluted and its own emotions and consciousness are also polluted, it can easily be contaminated by evil thoughts, causing the pure water spirit to collapse.

Right now, she could sense the terrifying and chilling power hidden beneath the body of the black-clad youth before her. If she were to be corrupted by that power, she would surely be polluted by the pure water, causing her to collapse and become unable to sustain her existence.

Not to mention that this is only a part of what Datalia has shown. In addition to the elemental power that Datalia possesses, she can also sense the elemental power boiling over Datalia's body.

There was another kind of power, one that felt remarkably similar to the one Pantarone had used to block her previous all-out attack.

Or rather, it is the same power as the one used by Pantarone, but it seems to have acquired some special characteristics, resulting in some other changes compared to the power used by Pantarone.

Having witnessed that power firsthand, Lotia felt a deep sense of unease. She understood that it was far more corrupting than the elemental power of the 'Light Sphere' that Pantarone had previously revealed; it was as if it came from the abyss.

Even so, Lotia did not intend to sit idly by and wait for her fate. As the former chief pure water spirit spy of Fontaine, she was by no means a simple and easy person.

Even if the other party wanted to easily defeat or capture her, it would be by no means an easy task.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape from Fontainebleau to Liyue and survive until now. As she saw the lightning element on Tartaglia begin to intensify, she also began to gather her power.

As Lotia swam with the graceful movements of a fish, the rivers in the waters of this land began to flow according to her will, a testament to the powerful control over the elements possessed by a high-level elemental being.

As the pure water spirits, who were once close relatives of the water god, their power permeates every water system on the continent of Teyvat, connecting all the rivers together. This is the power that the pure water spirits possess.

“The creatures on the ground are powerless if they lose solid ground…”

"Try experiencing what it feels like to be deprived of your 'place to stand.'"

As the ethereal voice resonated, the waters on this "place of foothold" began to surge, and at Lotia's command, the tides transformed into invisible whirlpools.

Then, under the will of "pure water", an unnamed tremor began to emanate.

Amidst such a tremor, the pure, water-like figure proclaimed in a chilling voice.

"Sink!"

At such a command, the "foothold" beneath their feet...

Suddenly, a tremor began, accompanied by a surging tide that seemed to engulf everything. Pantalone, who was still standing intact, immediately realized that Lotia was trying to use this method to gain home-field advantage.

According to general rationality, for creatures on the ground, if they do not have a place to stand, even the strongest power cannot be fully utilized.

On the contrary, Lotia, as a pure water spirit, can fully unleash her greatest power and advantages in such a place.

From this perspective, Lotia's strategy was not wrong.

What she didn't know was that such a battlefield wouldn't have any impact on Datalia; on the contrary, such a location was one of Datalia's advantages.

This stems from the information gap caused by unequal intelligence. As the former chief pure water spirit spy of Fontaine, Lotia certainly possesses extraordinary insight and judgment far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, the omissions in the report doomed her to defeat in this struggle.

This is a foregone conclusion.
