People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 370 Tevarin: Sky, I have returned!

".Doctor, please leave quickly. We will cover your retreat."

"."

Southeast of Mondstadt, in front of the long-abandoned East Wind Temple.

As this group of Abyss Mages, who were teleported from nowhere and wearing various shields, inserted themselves directly between Dotore and the Knights of Favonius,

The originally simple situation suddenly became extremely complicated.

Because of the thick spherical shields of the Abyss Mages, not only the Knights of Favonius are now unable to disturb the "Doctor" from entering the Temple of the East Wind,
For a moment, even the angry Dotore couldn't find a suitable angle to attack.

"."

He was silent for a moment. Even though he had no idea why the Abyss Cult would help him,
But in order to complete this long-planned plan as soon as possible, Dotore, who was standing at the entrance, finally dispersed the power in his hand.
After leaving a few words, he turned around and went directly into the temple:
"——Humph, you boring idiots, you should be thankful that I have other work to deal with this time. I'm not in the mood to play house with you right now."

".I will find out who the traitor who leaked the secret is. He must pay the price for choosing you!"

"Om-"

The ruins shook, and the light blue light representing the secret realm transmission flickered, and Dotore's figure disappeared from the spot.

And judging from the entrance that completely collapsed after he left, it was obviously impossible to enter this secret realm again in a short period of time.

"."

"——Gagaga, even if it's the wind dragon that drove away the abyss five hundred years ago,
As long as the Doctor takes action, it will be nothing more than a weak reptile!"

Gathering a torrent of elemental force that is not commensurate with the strength of the shields around him,
These abyss mages who were hired to "help" Dotorre also sincerely gave their victory speeches in advance on behalf of the doctor in the secret realm.

"Om-"

Inside the ruins, a bright blue teleportation light flashed.
After many twists and turns, the masked blue-haired figure finally arrived at the final destination.

"Crash-"

Because time has passed too long, the broken stones have fallen into the hole below the ruins.
As Dotore moved forward, he recalled the road closure he had just taken, and his tense mood finally relaxed a little.

——Although the technology for constructing secret realms has basically been lost, under normal circumstances, this type of secret realm is a small space that exists based on reality, and the entrance and exit shaped like a gate is a two-way transmission device that serves a positioning function.

Apart from Liyue, most of the secret realms that are still in use today are not built by themselves. They are simply ancient ruins found and used elsewhere. Even the owners generally do not have the technology to match this.

Now that the access has been completely cut off, unless we use a force far beyond our limits to break the blockade we have set from the inside and reconnect it to the real place,
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for the outside world to find this piece of space that no one knew where it was.

".Snap."

Water drops that seeped down from somewhere fell from above the stone tunnel and hit a shallow pit.
Having already sensed the free wind element and the weak power of the abyss in the air, Dotore was sure that he had not come to the wrong place.

".According to the information we know so far, during the Kanreya disaster five hundred years ago, although the Wind Dragon defeated the Demon Dragon Durin, it was also infected by the power of the Abyss.

Most likely, in order to recover from the injury and prevent the dissipated power of the abyss from causing secondary damage to the outside world, this elemental dragon has never appeared in the outside world since it hid in the secret realm."

As you move forward, recall the information you know.

Although there were numerous mistakes in the implementation of the plan, Dotore was not so worried about this final battle:
——When they were in the snowy mountains, they secretly studied Durin's heart.
Through the current remnants, it was successfully deduced that this "evil dragon" was not too exaggerated in its absolute power except for some special features.

Based on this speculation, since Durin's strength is within the acceptable range, the Wind Dragon that won a tragic victory in that battle could not be too strong.

In addition, this so-called "elemental dragon" is actually a follower of the wind god, who has always been at the bottom of the threat list in the "Teyvat God Assessment".

Considering that the gods of Mondstadt themselves have not shown any signs of power,

Then the elemental dragons who are willing to become the other party's followers are probably the ones at the bottom of the group.
"boom--"

Halfway through thinking, the sound of a wind field suddenly came from the front of the tunnel.

"."

He raised his head slightly, looking at the large ruins at the top of the ruins in front of him, and the pale blue elemental force wind field that was almost condensed into substance at the cliff in front of him.

I have already sensed the extremely weak breath at the highest point.

Convinced that the target was near, and that it was in a very bad state after five hundred years of slumber,
I felt that there was no possibility of failure in fighting against such a sick guy.

The doctor, who had already made all the necessary preparations, activated all the combat autonomous mechanisms around him and stepped into the wind field ahead.

".Hmm? Such strong malice. Who is it?"

".Huh. Although the poisonous blood has been almost digested, there is no chance to replenish the consumed strength.
Did they know my hiding place from somewhere? The invaders really know how to pick the right time this time."

"I don't know how Barbatos has managed the outside world in the past five hundred years.

Although that guy is always not doing his job, since it has been five hundred years, even if he did a little work, the outside world should have developed a lot,

At least, the poems he promised me should continue to be circulated."

On the open platform at the highest point of the ruins,
The East Wind Guardian Altar, now in ruins,
At the highest point of this abandoned temple, an extremely huge blue dragon was curled up and sleeping.

The broken walls and monuments were shattered into powder under the dragon's belly. Three pairs of green wings covered with feathers tightly wrapped around its body.
Even though its size and mass are far inferior to those of other members of the same species due to its wind elemental characteristics,

But the slender dragon's tail only swung slightly, but it still scratched several deep dents on the platform surface with pure force alone.

——There is no doubt that this giant beast, whose features are highly consistent with the image of the dragon in the adventure story except for the addition of a few more wings, is none other than Tevarin, who defeated Durin five hundred years ago and has been sleeping ever since because he swallowed two mouthfuls of poisonous blood from the abyss.

At first, it was still trying to hold on, hoping that the friend who was always lazy would come back to visit it.
But after persisting for decades, it was finally unable to maintain consciousness due to the erosion of the power of the abyss, and fell into a deep sleep until today.

".When that guy was away, I took good care of Mondstadt.

Maybe now I have some statues erected outside. Maybe I can even have a few believers."

".Huh, it's almost time to sleep for so long.

Although I don't know who is coming, I will go to the outside world after defeating him.

After all, I have recovered so well now, and the strength of the two fellow tribesmen before has helped a lot.
I didn’t expect that after so much time, there would be other elemental dragons besides me.”

Resisting the feeling of powerlessness, the giant dragon gradually spread out its six wings.
They look forward to seeing other species besides themselves for the first time, and also look forward to gaining recognition from humans and escaping the situation of being feared in the past.

Tevarin, once known as the "Dragon of the East Wind," slowly opened his emerald eyes, bent his slender neck, turned around, and used his teeth to crush the purple crystals behind him that had lost their power, then shook the debris off his body.

"Click——"

The purple crystals shattered into pieces. These accumulated poisonous remnants of the abyss now had no power like weathered rocks.

Thanks to the undisturbed recovery process and the two elemental fluctuations released by the unknown kind,

This long dormancy process lasted for hundreds of years, and the result can be considered basically successful.

But just as Tevarin was about to stand up and fight the strange enemy in his current state,

Just as it raised its front paw, a very familiar breath suddenly came from the surrounding wind.

Along with this breath, there appeared two sky-blue glowing crystals that exuded a powerful aura.

".Huh?! Barbatos? You are back after all!" ".And what is this thing?!"

"——Hmm? No!
Where did you get the crystal of wind element authority? Did you kill that old wolf? ! "

Even though his body was now very empty due to lack of strength, he had an instinctive hunger for the two crystals in front of him.

But after thinking of a possibility, Tevarin suppressed his urge to devour.

"——Hehe, don't worry, even though Andrius is not in great shape now, he is no different from before."

"——This is the leftover I specially asked for from a great guy. Tevarin, just eat it with peace of mind~"

".As for the other one?"

"——Hehe, this is your secret weapon to help you make a name for yourself when you return.

Likewise, this is also a friendly sponsorship from one of your ‘fellows’ to the elemental dragon.”

???

"Hmm? Explain clearly?!"

"——Leftovers? What level of existence can have such leftovers?!
The outside world has become like this in the past five hundred years?!"

"Ah? Actually, not much has changed. I just met a guy who is easy to get along with, and he helped me out of friendship."

"Barbatos? Barbatos?"

"."

It seemed that because breaking through the blockade consumed too much energy, the wind attribute aura that resided in it had been exhausted.
I found that my old friend's voice was no longer heard.

Although Tevarin, who had been sleeping for hundreds of years, was filled with countless doubts,
But I still obeyed the call of my instinct.

After a moment's silence, he swallowed the two crystals in front of him in one gulp.

".Hmm? Are you awake?"

".Oh, as expected.

But he is just a weak guy after all. What can he do even if he notices my coming?"

Below the altar, the only way to reach the highest point.

Rapidly upward along the wind field,
Dotore discovered that the breath of the wind dragon in front of him had changed, and it seemed to have completely awakened from its slumber.

I didn't take this matter to heart.

After experiencing many twists and turns along the way,
All he wanted now was to see the only remaining elemental dragon in the world as quickly as possible, defeat it, and then pack it up and bring it back to Winter.

"pat-"

Falling from the air, the boots made a crisp sound on the stone ground.

Dotore brushed off the dust on his robe.

With an expression that was filled with uncontrollable excitement, he looked with burning eyes at the elemental dragon in front of him that was clearly awake but for some reason still curled up tightly:
“——Hahaha, this is the elemental dragon? The top elemental life form?”

"--How beautiful! How extraordinary!

Compared to this, even Uku is just a weed on the side of the road!"

"."

There was no response. Judging from the movements of the elemental dragon in front of him, it seemed that the other party was suffering from some unbearable pain.
Dotore shook his head and said sarcastically:
".Heh, it seems your condition is much worse than I thought."

"I have made so much preparation for this, but now it seems like it was just a waste.
But since you don’t even have the strength to fight the enemy, don’t blame me for being rude.”

"--Um?!"

？ ！！

"boom--"

This early victory speech has not yet been finished.

Suddenly, an unprecedented strong wind element wave was released from the giant dragon lying in front of him.
It's like a flower that has been accumulating strength for a long time and finally blooming.

In front of Dotore, the six tightly curled, natural and beautiful blue wings of the dragon opened up one by one like petals.
"Wow--"

The platform beneath my feet crumbled.
The hemispherical diffusion field caused by the high density of elements,
A visible circular shock wave mixed with shattered ground and stone pillars struck Dotore in front of him amidst the earth-shaking earthquake.

!!!

"What?! Why is there still such power?"

"Roar--"

The angry Dotore hadn't finished his words yet.

The streamlined dark green dragon head was raised high, and with a somewhat refreshing roar, it announced its return to the world it had been away from for a long time!

"Om-"

Before he could reassess the power of the elemental dragon in front of him, comparing the power gap between the two sides at the moment,
It seems that the judgment status has recovered to a certain level,
A ray of sky-blue light instantly burst out from the elemental dragon in front of him, which was almost at its peak.

"boom--"

A turquoise light column that penetrated the sky and the earth rose from the secret realm. It spread outward at an extremely fast speed from a thin line to become a thick light column.

The already dilapidated secret space finally couldn't bear such a force and began to break apart under the impact of the elements.
"Om-"

It was as if he had received a blessing from some powerful being, so that his body unconsciously moved closer to the other party.

In the nearly materialized wind elemental light column, golden-green noble lines gradually spread outward from the dragon's chest, and finally covered all six of its iconic wings at an extremely fast speed.

The dragon's horns lengthened, its wings widened, and the qualitatively transformed wind element spontaneously condensed into a noble cyan-gold crown on the dragon's head.

"Boom——"

The rumbling sound produced by the summoning of massive elements reached Dotore's ears, and in this slightly rough way, it brought back his consciousness which had been sluggish due to excessive shock.

Come back to your senses,

Looking at the noble dragon in front of him, it had long horns, a cyan-gold horned crown on its head, and six more elemental wings in addition to its six feather wings.

Even in the most exaggerated assumptions, I never foresaw that the final battle would be like this.

In the gradually collapsing secret space, he stared into the golden-green pupils of the giant dragon in front of him.
Dotore felt the pressure coming from the other party, which seemed to crush even his soul.
From the bottom of my heart, I felt that there must be something wrong with my trip to Mond this time.
