Could it be...
Has he already left?
Looking at the tightly closed door, Jean recalled the intimate image of him and her mother in the office, and his indifference towards the people of Mondstadt.
"fair enough."
Feeling the earth tremble and hearing the approaching footsteps amidst the buzzing in my mind.
Qin looked at the 'person' walking towards her.
It was a strange, very thin, tall, blue humanoid creature that seemed to be wearing armor.
He looked at the single-edged sword that the man had raised towards him.
Qin revealed a sorrowful smile.
She no longer has to face the man who has become a "tyrant," a man she doesn't know how to face but still likes.
There's no need to suffer over his relationship with his mother.
No longer do you need to despair that you are too weak to protect Mondstadt; you can die before Mondstadt is destroyed.
Just as Qin wearily closed her eyes, preparing to face her death.
Just before I closed my eyes, a dark shadow seemed to appear before me.
Before Qin could even think about the identity of the dark figure, she suddenly heard the sound of metal clashing in front of her, along with the voice of a man she knew all too well.
"Dare to touch my people?"
"Do you want to die?"
Qin opened her eyes and stared in disbelief at the familiar figure with its back to her.
gradually.
Her beautiful eyes filled with tears, but she smiled through them.
······
The Abyss Apostle, wielding a single blade, took a few steps back and sized up Lin Jiu'an.
"The prince admires you."
The Abyss Apostle said, "Join our Abyss Order."
"Appreciate me?"
Seeing Lin Jiu'an's expression of "Did I hear that right?", the Abyss Apostle's gaze turned slightly cold.
"Any questions?"
Lin Jiu'an chuckled, then covered his face with one hand while gripping his sword and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, I...hahaha, sorry, I haven't heard such a funny joke in a long time."
"You bunch of sewer rats actually admire me?"
"You expect me, a national leader, to join your lowly, filthy, rat-like organization that everyone wants to beat up?"
"Hahaha, are you kidding me?"
Lin Jiu'an looked down on these monsters from the abyss from the bottom of his heart.
It can be said that the people of Kanria were pitiful five hundred years ago.
But none of these former Kanria soldiers who were transformed into monsters and joined the "Abyss Order" were innocent.
It can only be said that not a single clean piece of wood could be found in the bonfire after it had burned.
In order to avenge themselves against the gods of the Seven Kingdoms, they continuously carry out terrorist attacks in various places, killing the people of the Seven Kingdoms.
How is this different from real-world terrorist organizations?
Stormterror, Lava Pit...
There are also bloody incidents such as the Abyss Mage instructing Hilichurls to attack cities and towns.
all in all.
Lin Jiu'an, a carbon-based being, was looked down upon by everyone in the Abyss Order, from top to bottom.
The unrestrained laughter, especially the contemptuous attitude towards their great "prince," thoroughly enraged the Abyss Apostle. Its gaze towards Lin Jiu'an turned icy, as if it were looking at a dead man.
"You're looking for death."
"Looking for death?"
Lin Jiu'an laughed for a while, then covered his face and wiped away his tears.
His voice suddenly turned cold: "You're the one who's courting death."
The Abyss Apostle felt a blur before his eyes and instinctively raised his knife.
'Bang!'
With a deafening clang of metal clashing, the Abyss Apostle staggered back several steps, his heart filled with terror.
How could he be so fast?!
But before it could even steady itself...
Lin Jiu'an's attack came like a storm.
The swiftness of the wind, the weight of the rocks, and the eerie, seemingly life-burning black flames forced the Abyss Apostle to retreat continuously, losing his initial advantage. Furthermore, he had not anticipated that his opponent's strength would increase so rapidly, leaving him caught off guard and without even the strength to retaliate.
This one-sided domination lasted for a full half minute.
Half a minute later, after which the Abyss Apostle felt incredibly frustrated.
The rock sword and the water blade collided, and the immense force, like Mount Tai pressing down, came from the long sword. The Abyss Apostle was instantly sent flying like a kite with a broken string, carving a trench more than ten meters long into the ground.
"That's it?"
The man did not continue his attack, but instead chuckled softly.
But this contemptuous attitude only fueled the Abyss Apostle's anger. How could it have suffered such a crushing defeat at the hands of someone who mocked their great prince?
However, the Abyss Apostle did not make a move immediately. The opponent's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations, and he knew that he could not kill him in a one-on-one fight.
"Come out?"
The Abyss Apostle rose from the ruins and shouted into the air.
"..."
There was no response.
The Abyss Apostle frowned and sneered, "Why aren't you coming out yet?"
"You didn't make a move earlier, and you're still not coming out now. How long are you planning to hide?"
The only response it received was the cawing of crows and the howling wind blowing from Fruit Wine Lake.
"Haha, did you come here specifically to make me laugh because you noticed I've been in a bad mood lately?"
The Abyss Apostle had no time for anger.
It panicked.
It knows.
I've probably been betrayed by that damned Fool's Enforcer named D'Artagnan!
It called out to the other party directly because the other party didn't make a move when Lin Jiu'an was dealing with him earlier, even though there was such a good opening.
It was only a temporary cooperative relationship to begin with, and the other party was one of the seven kingdoms it despised. It had no intention of fighting to the death with Lin Jiu'an and letting that bastard reap the rewards.
result...
Now it faces a serious problem.
Go it alone.
Having already been injured, it was no match for the creature in front of it!
"Damn fools!"
The Abyss Apostle roared.
It knew now was not the time to be angry; it had to fight back!
But what drove him to the brink of madness was...
The wind seemed to be working against it, always blowing it in a strange direction, making it unable to exert any strength.
The rock sword in the opponent's hand was inexplicably heavy, like a massive boulder, a weight it could not comprehend.
Its speed, however, is astonishing.
How could the opponent possibly possess such powerful 'wind' and 'rock'?
It had clearly observed his actions back in Liyue, and there was information in the young master's words. Not long ago, his strength was far less than it is now!
Could it be...?
The Abyss Apostle suddenly realized something, and a look of fear and anger appeared on his face.
"Baba...!?"
Before the angry roar could be uttered, a fist imbued with the radiance of rock element slammed into its face.
"Mora...?!"
The Abyss Apostle was dazed and confused from the impact, but it no longer cared about the person in front of it.
It already understands.
When it decided to cooperate with the Fools to carry out such actions within Mondstadt.
Its demise was already inevitable.
Gods may not easily attack humans from other countries, but they would never hesitate to attack this 'monster'!
Punch after punch, each one heavy enough to weigh ten thousand pounds, pounded into its face and body. Building after building was destroyed. The Abyss Apostle was unable to put up any resistance and was being unilaterally tortured and killed by Lin Jiu'an like a sandbag.
Lin Jiu'an kicked him high into the air.
Then, with a stomp on the ground, his body, enveloped in wind elements, soared to a height of over ten meters, even higher than the Abyss Apostle.
He punched it squarely in the abdomen.
'boom!'.
A visible cloud burst appeared in the sky.
The Abyss Apostle transformed into a blur and crashed to the ground in an instant.
The ground trembled, and large amounts of smoke and dust filled the air.
After a long time, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a huge crater that was several meters in diameter.
Lin Jiu'an, who had landed on the ground, walked to the very center of the ruins. The Abyss Apostle's body was half-embedded in the rocks, constantly spitting out blood. Its armor was tattered, revealing its ugly body covered in hair.
Looking at Lin Jiu'an who had raised his fist, the Abyss Apostle uttered his final words.
"I hate it...!"
'Bang!'
He smashed the Abyss Apostle's head with a single punch.
Looking at the corpse of the Abyss Apostle, I could feel the eerie aura emanating from its water element.
Lin Jiu'an's heart stirred.
He grabbed its heart and, just as he had done before to extract the life force of those nobles from the Evil Eye, continuously drew its elements into his body and stored them there.
Until the Abyss Apostle was reduced to a dried-up corpse.
Lin Jiu'an then got up.
The power of the abyss spread out along with the other three elements.
Suddenly.
The Hilichurls and Abyss Mages who were wreaking havoc in Mondstadt stopped what they were doing, looked up as if they sensed something, and trembled with fear as they stared in the direction of Lin Jiu'an.
