Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Perissa's pupils suddenly shrank. In the past, when she met her father, the Holy Master had said the same thing.

"Every life has the right to choose its own destiny. Although you are the embodiment of disaster, your kindness and innocence are incomparable. Fate is in your own hands. You can choose to accept it or to escape it. But no matter what you choose, one day you must face it. Overcome your fear and look directly into your own eyes. Only then can you be the most perfect one."

So that's it, Father, Lisa, I understand!

Perissa picked up the sickle again, her face full of determination: "Brother Mo Yan, thank you. Now it's time for Lisa to face the consequences!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding poisonous fog condensed again and turned into a door.

Mo Yan nodded, stood up and said, "I'll go with you, because the only way out is to defeat the mirage, right?"

Perissa hesitated for a few seconds, but nodded in agreement.

As I stepped into the vortex gate, the surrounding environment changed again.

This time it was no longer a space pieced together by illusions, but a space of nothingness.

Purple poisonous fog swirled around them. As their toes stepped into the air, a huge monster appeared in their sight.

The giant creature was wrapped in purple mist. Its body was empty and resembled the West Wind Evil Dragon, but it seemed to be there and not there. Its limbs were also covered with floating mist without a fixed shape. If it weren't for its scarlet eyes, it would have been completely a haze.

At this moment, the giant monster suddenly exhaled, and purple mist slowly flowed out of its mouth.

"An ordinary person without any elemental power actually wants to be a hero?" It made a hoarse voice.

Mo Yan was stunned and subconsciously drew his sword.

"Is this monster a mirage?"

"Yes." Perissa walked forward slowly, holding the sickle in one hand, "Mirage, it's time to put an end to the cause and effect between you and me!"

"Just you? If that's the case, then I'll play with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mirage suddenly released a large amount of fog in all directions. The poisonous fog condensed into countless human figures in the void, and at the same time turned into sharp claws in the void, circling around.

Perissa swung the sickle at her waist and held it horizontally, then looked at Mo Yan: "Brother Mo Yan, please don't leave here. Although Brother Zhongli's Eye of God can temporarily protect you from the harm of the fog, it is not completely safe after all."

Mo Yan nodded. Seeing this, Perissa adjusted her breathing slightly, and the next second, she swung her knife like an arrow from a bow.

Her figure turned into mist in the void, and in an instant she defeated all the poisonous mist that condensed into human form, but the mirage didn't care. It controlled the disintegrating poisonous mist to continue to condense into human form, and this time it even made a shape that was exactly the same as Perissa's appearance.

"Hmph, do you think having more people will be helpful?" Perissa snorted coldly. Before she finished her words, her sickle began to actively absorb the surrounding fog.

The poisonous fog surrounding the sickle's blade doubled in size. With a sudden swing of the sickle, the poisonous blade separated from the sickle and turned into a spinning blade, which suddenly exploded in the crowd of "people".

"Don't forget, Lisa, like you, was also a 'disaster' born from the plague. However, Lisa will transform this 'disaster' into a blade to protect others and sever this cause and effect!"

She jumped up from the exploding fog, and at the same time, the sickle began to condense poison again. For the first time, Mirage's scarlet eyes showed fear, and at the same time, it controlled the surrounding claws to fly towards her.

"Stop making such grand statements! After all, isn't the power you possess also a calamity that brings terror to humanity? Whether you admit it or not, this power will never be recognized by the world!"

Five sharp claws gathered at the same time, quickly converging with Lisa as the center. There was a "bang", but in the exploding poisonous fog, there was no trace of Perissa.

"You're wrong. The quality of power lies not in its essence, but in the heart of the user. This is what my father taught Lisa!"

In a blink of an eye, Perissa was floating in the air using the poisonous fog as a stepping stone. At this moment, after absorbing the surrounding fog, the sickle had become very large, like a purple crescent and carrying the oppression of death.

"Really? So what if that's the case? You know that you and I are one, so your power can't hurt me!"

"What about this?" Mo Yan suddenly shouted. He had appeared at some point, holding a tinder. "Pelissa, go!"

He quickly pulled off the lid of the tinderbox and threw it high into the air.

"This is the moment of destruction!"

The sickle swung down, and the mist from it rubbed against the fire stick in the air, instantly igniting a blazing fire. In an instant, the flames illuminated the entire void, severing the mirage in half and instantly burning its entire body.

In the void, the mirage roared in agony, but after a moment, it did not vanish. Its remains twisted and reassembled in the flames, and the purple poisonous mist transformed into thousands of tentacles that spread in all directions.

"It's useless! You can't kill me! You and I are one. Doing this will only add more scars to my body. I will devour you, and then use your body and your identity to bring disaster to this land!"

Its sharp claws tore through the void, and the mirage became extremely frantic, its attacks completely losing their previous rhythm. Soon, under its frenzied attack, the distance between Perissa and Mo Yan was unknown.

"Oh no, Brother Mo Yan!" Perissa turned around quickly, but it was too late.

Countless mist spirits created in her image completely blocked her path. Although it could not be said to be a siege or delay, for Mirage, this amount of time was enough to kill an ordinary person.

"First you, mortal, I'll make you regret coming here!"

It waved its claws wildly, never giving Mo Yan a chance to breathe. As expected, under the Mirage's continuous and crazy attacks, the Eye of God that Mo Yan had placed on his waist to protect himself from the erosion of the poisonous fog was finally exhausted.

Click!

As the Eye of God made a crisp sound, Mirage, knowing that he had succeeded, began to laugh wildly.

"Has it finally been used up? Looks like your fate has come to an end!"

"No!" Perissa waved her arms and finally defeated the last wave of fog elves, but it was too late.

It laughed wildly and swung its claws to launch the final round of attack. Without the protection of the Eye of God, the poison gas had begun to erode his consciousness, and his movements became sluggish. Just as the claws were about to fall, he made up his mind and subconsciously swung his sword forward.

puff!

The moment the sword blade pierced the void, time seemed to stand still. The sharp claws of the mirage hovered three inches between Mo Yan's eyebrows, and the edge of his sword, with a strange glow, pierced through the void, as if piercing the mirage's heart, making it fixed in place.

"How... is it possible, this sword..."

Before Shen finished speaking, the light from the sword spread along the place where it was stabbed to his chest, suddenly opening a wound, and the poisonous mist also quickly flowed out of the wound in an instant.
