Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

The matter of the Abyss Order involves too much information that is taboo for mortals. Those present have a very shallow understanding of the Abyss Order, so they are unaware of these matters. However, this does not prevent them from hearing the strong sense of "what's the use of trying" in the Abyss Mage's words.

This is trouble!

Upon realizing this, everyone present felt their hearts sink.

Chapter 58 A Reunion Between Life and Death 5K

"Ha, what's the point of me saying this to you mortals who have no freedom or future? We have already fallen into the abyss, but we still have the possibility of returning to the embrace of death. But what about you?"

"The fate you face is truly tragic, so tragic that even I, a tragic person myself, grieve for you!"

However, after mocking himself, the Abyss Mage began to ridicule everyone present in an even worse manner, which made everyone present feel confused almost instinctively.

Is this abyss mage really not brainwashed by the power of the abyss?

Does it feel sorry for itself and others?

Unfortunately, now was not the time to consider such things. Since the enemy had realized that they were trying to stall for time, they could attack at any moment. So, the group, who were holding their weapons tightly, immediately prepared to break through the encirclement.

After all, we haven't reached the point where we'd fight to the death even if we knew we weren't the match.

"Ha, the defective, flawed, pathetic discarded products created by 'gold,' are you prepared to fall into the ley lines here with these mortals who have no idea what price they paid?"

"Having been resurrected by the power of the abyss and dragon blood, can you truly do what you want?"

"Come, join us! Raise the banner of the abyss and wage war that will engulf the heavens! This is what you must do now; you have no other choice!"

"Only in this way can you truly be born into this world!"

The Abyss Mage paid no attention to the reactions of the others; instead, it focused its attention on 'Abedo,' who was still holding a one-handed sword and watching them warily.

Compared to the other mortals, 'Abedo' was the one most easily drawn into their ranks—especially since Abedo was able to temporarily suppress the power of the Abyss and Dragon Blood with his own will, which alone was enough for the Abyss Order to show him its importance.

After all, even within the Abyss Order, there aren't many people who can keep their minds sharp. If they could obtain some further methods for mastering the Abyss from Abedo, it would be of immense benefit to the Abyss Order.

As for the people other than 'Abedo', they were of no concern to it at all. It could simply be dealt with directly, since the Abyss Order was no good either.

Of course, as a blood relative of the prince, 'Luminous' was obviously not among those to be disposed of. The Abyss Mage was also troubled about how to send Luminous out unharmed without being noticed—if all else failed, he would have to release the others as well.

That would be a bit of a shame.

Thinking about this, the Abyss Mage couldn't help but feel a little irritated. The power of the Abyss seemed to have started to surge again. Fortunately, the Abyss Mage quickly realized this and swiftly controlled his power and emotions.

On the other side, 'Abedo', who never expected his secret to be exposed so easily, almost instinctively gripped the longsword in his hand, and his originally calm eyes now expressed his killing intent without any concealment.

"How did you find me?"

"Abedo" coldly questioned the abyss mage in front of him, and upon hearing such an answer, the others almost subconsciously increased the distance between themselves and Abedo and watched him and the other monsters warily.

If everyone still didn't realize at this point that the Abedo next to them was a fake, they would be incredibly foolish. But it was precisely because of this that everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Your companion was replaced without your knowledge—what kind of horror story is this!

After overhearing the conversation between 'Abedo' and the Abyss Mage, Ying finally understood why she instinctively felt that something was wrong with Abedo.

So it had already been replaced?

Ying couldn't help but start to think about certain things.

"There are no secrets on the snow mountain to us, especially since the abyssal power within you is so obvious. If I couldn't even detect it, I would be utterly useless."

“The sons of gold, the power of the Order is far greater than you imagine.”

The Abyss Mage was unconcerned about Abedo's doubts, nor did he intend to conceal the Abyss Order's knowledge of him.

"Humph!"

"you......"

"enough!"

However, just as 'Abedo' was about to say something more, Yura, who had reached her limit, suddenly stood up and interrupted the conversation. Her eyes, which were like dazzling gold, were filled with anger.

"I don't care what you are or what your schemes are, Abyss Order, it's time to settle our score!"

Unable to contain her rage any longer, Yura suddenly drew her greatsword and slammed it into the ground. With that, ice shards shot up from the ground, shattering the thick ice beneath everyone's feet.

Then the group of people who were originally surrounded by monsters, along with a small number of monsters, suddenly fell into the ice cave beneath the ice.

Yura was indeed somewhat blinded by rage, but that didn't mean she intended to drag everyone down with her. As everyone fell into the ice cave, Yura swung her greatsword again, and with the surge of ice elements she controlled, the ice forming the cave receded, and then a ray of sunlight shone into everyone's eyes once more—Yura had actually created a passage close to them directly in the thick ice cave.

"wind!"

At that moment, Ying suddenly activated the elemental power within her body, and a strong gust of wind lifted the falling people up and gently landed them on the ground.

"You guys go! I'll cover you."

After landing on the ground with her back to the crowd, Yura once again swung her longsword. Under her control, ice shards pierced through the monsters that were approaching the group, attempting to create a path to the exit. Only then did Yura speak in an almost resolute tone.

"Yura! What are you saying! Of course we're going together!"

Amber, who was also drawing her bow and continuously firing deadly arrows, became anxious upon hearing Yura's words. She never expected that Yura would develop a death wish here.

What she called "covering the way" or "keeping the rearguard" was all about! Yura's real intention was to risk her life so that everyone could escape safely.

Moreover, they have temporarily escaped the encirclement of numerous monsters. As long as they run away decisively, they can all leave this place together. There is no need for someone to die to buy time.

"No, Amber, I've had enough!"

Yura, who had been silent for the past few days, now made no attempt to hide her madness. Her once elegant, almost dance-like swordsmanship was now nothing but endless rage and insanity.

She had indeed joined the battle with the determination to die. Overwhelmed by the sacrifices and injuries of her teammates and comrades, Yura was now completely resigned to her fate.

The appearance of 'Abedo' is like a spark that directly ignited a volcano called 'Collapse'.

"But......"

"Buzz!"

Just as Amber was anxiously trying to forcefully pull Yura to retreat, a strange fluctuation suddenly descended upon the ice cave. This eerie fluctuation even affected the monsters that jumped down as if they didn't care about their own lives.

The monsters instinctively felt fear and pain. They struggled as if trying to do something, but affected by the situation, they seemed to have lost the strength to stand up at this moment.

"What... what happened... Captain!"

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

Just as the fluctuations slowly subsided, a series of rather illusory figures gradually appeared around the group, supported by a powerful force. Faced with these suddenly appearing figures, the group, who had been fighting fiercely, instinctively became vigilant.

However, Yura, who had just been on the verge of collapse, froze on the spot after seeing these figures and hearing that familiar voice.

"You...how is this possible...how could you..."

Without needing to look closely, Yura knew at a glance or just by hearing the familiar voices that these suddenly appearing figures were her teammates who had already sacrificed themselves in this harsh snow-covered mountain.

But now, these team members who were confirmed dead are reappearing in front of her one by one, which makes Yura instinctively shake her head. She simply cannot believe that what she is seeing is real.

"We are... Thank you for your help, sir. We never expected to be able to fight alongside our captain again!"

Just when everyone was still trying to figure out what was going on, tiny white dots of light appeared on the bodies of the fallen guerrilla fighters. With the appearance of these white dots of light, the previously bewildered fighters seemed to understand something instantly.

"Well then... guerrilla squad members, it's our turn to go!"

"Before, the captain protected us; now it's our turn to protect the captain!"

After calming themselves down a bit, the phantoms that emerged from the earth's veins suddenly straightened their chests, and then the unsheathed longswords expressed the team members' will without hesitation.

This is a battle, a battle that can make up for regrets, let the deceased rest in peace, and let the living move forward again!

Yura still doesn't know what's going on. She just stares in disbelief at her teammates who are standing in front of her, desperately blocking the horde of monsters that keeps jumping into the ice cave.

The members of these guerrilla squads wielded their longswords with ease, slaying the monsters in front of them that had become incredibly vulnerable due to some unknown influence. The monsters that had once swarmed in were smashed to pieces like waves crashing against a cliff after colliding with these knights.

Behind these knights, Yura stared blankly at the familiar figures standing in front of her.

Even now, she still doesn't understand what happened, but even so, after seeing these familiar teammates, two lines of tears gradually slid down her cheeks, which looked a bit disheveled from the battle.

"They are the remnants of the ley lines that remain here, but now someone has awakened them from the ley lines."

"Everything is recorded within the ley lines, and they are only briefly reappearing in this world now, relying on the ley lines."

Just as everyone was watching the guerrilla squad members entangled with the monsters, a voice suddenly rang in their ears, accompanied by a tremendous roar that shook the entire snow mountain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of violent explosions suddenly came from all around, and before anyone could react, the snow layer that had accumulated around the snow mountain collapsed instantly due to the huge impact. The collapsing snow then rushed in all directions like a terrible tsunami.

However, before the snow could even reach the foot of the mountain, bright yellow walls of light enveloped the entire avalanche. These walls of light seemed to have been calculated with great precision, and guided by them, the collapsing snow surged directly towards the demon army!

"!!!"

Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden avalanche and the wall of light. While everyone was still wondering, another Abedo suddenly appeared in the middle of them, and then a complex array of magic circles enveloped them.

The next moment, with the surge of energy, everyone disappeared completely from the monsters' encirclement. The avalanche that followed easily wiped the monster army, which had caused great trouble for Mondstadt, from the world.

Even the largest and most powerful monster army is still vulnerable and helpless when faced with natural disasters.

.......

"!!!"

"Wow, what on earth is going on?!"

Paimon, who had been briefly dizzy due to the teleportation array, regained her senses and found herself on the summit of the snow mountain. The first thing she saw was the shattered Sky Nail and the enormous Destiny Star. Next to the Sky Nail, she saw Su Feng, surrounded by white light, squatting down, and Wendy, leisurely playing the piano.

Finally, she noticed the abyss mage who was surrounded by two Abedos with longswords pressed against his neck.

"What is your purpose?"

The real Abedo didn't show much malice or wariness towards his brothers. Instead, he was more concerned about the abyss mage in front of him, hoping to extract some useful information from him.

"I never thought I'd fall into your hands in the end!"

"A defective product is indeed a defective product. They rushed to replace the genuine product without even confirming that they had truly solved the problem. How useless!"

Despite having two longswords pressed against his neck, the Abyss Mage showed no sign of panic. Instead, he began to mock 'Abedo' with a frenzied laugh. Upon hearing such taunts, 'Abedo' instinctively tightened his grip on the longsword. If Abedo hadn't grabbed his arm, he might have already beheaded the Abyss Mage who had deliberately provoked him!

"But even if you eliminate us, what then? The abyss is your best option; otherwise, you will inevitably slide into an even more tragic future."

No one knew why the Abyss Mage said such a thing, and after hearing this, everyone was once again filled with confusion.

"Kukuuku~"

Perhaps sensing the confusion of the crowd, the Abyss Mage let out another mocking laugh.
