Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Funina's heart sank suddenly. Feng Ling's words pierced her forced calmness like a needle.

She truly couldn't control this power right now. Just as Phoenix had said in her dream, the reason she could unleash this elemental force was entirely due to the passive mechanism created by the instincts imprinted within her soul. Honestly, whether or not the power would manifest depended largely on Phoenix's mood.

At this time, Hong Tao said, "But the power that was difficult to control in the past is the most dangerous, right?"

Kuang Dao folded his arms and said, "What are you afraid of? Look at the situation around you. Such a huge amount of magic power is released at once. How many elements do you think she has left for you to use?"

Feng Ling nodded: "That's right, not to mention that a large-scale attack method like this cannot be released continuously even if it is guarded, not to mention that this girl is just an ordinary person without any contract power."

Then she looked at Furninna again and said, "Are you sure you want to fight us to the end?"

Finina calmed her nervousness and fear, and made up her mind: "Just come at me, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Feng Ling shook her head. "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Well, since that's all you have, I'll have to let you suffer a little. Kuang Dao, remember to be gentle. Don't hurt her."

Kuang Dao grinned, a green whirlwind swirling around him: "Don't worry, I know my limits. Little girl, since you won't cooperate, then I... can only say sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and pounced towards Finina. The two swords in his hands made a sharp sound that tore through the air, and he flashed in front of her in just a moment.

Finina did not react. When she came to her senses, the opponent's double blades were less than half a foot away from her.

"Wow!"

She subconsciously covered her head and screamed, and at this moment, the cold air suddenly rose from where Kuang Dao's toes landed.

"What..." Kuang Dao, who sensed something unusual, quickly retreated. At this moment, several ice spikes suddenly stood up from the ground in front of him. The sharp tips were shining with cold light. If he had been a little slower, his feet would have been pierced. But even so, some ice crystals were still left on his cloak.

At this moment, Feng Ling and Hong Tao were also stunned.

"How could this happen? Didn't you say that she couldn't use it continuously?" Hong Tao asked loudly.

Fortunately, it was Kuang Dao who took the lead. If it were me, I would have been frozen into an ice sculpture long ago.

Feng Ling lowered her head and fell into deep thought again: "How could this happen? Logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to release continuously, but why..."

Kuang Dao was still testing the waters, but because of the previous experience, he gave up close combat this time and deliberately gathered the wind element into two wind blades and threw them out.

Sure enough, as expected, when Finina subconsciously raised her hands to block in front of her again, the ice wall rose again and blocked all attacks for her.

At this time, Funina opened her eyes, and although she was still in shock, a look of joy gradually appeared on her face.

"Great, maybe this will work!"

Finina clenched her fists, and the panic she had just felt was replaced by a hint of hope.

"Damn, this girl is really a bit weird." In front, Kuang Dao gritted his teeth. Seeing that his attack was unsuccessful, he turned around and roared at the two of them, "Hong Tao, don't just stand there and watch, come over and help!"

"Oh, I see!" Hong Tao responded, then raised his battle axe and ran over.

He swung his battle axe and smashed it hard on the ground. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and three rock pillars suddenly flew out.

As Funina frantically worked, the cold air transformed into an equal number of ice cones as the rock pillars, whistling towards them. The collision of ice and stone made a dull thud, and the rock pillars shattered into pieces, while the ice cones disintegrated into a cloud of ice crystals.

Then Kuang Dao threw out two wind wheels again, but they were also blocked by the rising ice wall.

At this time, Hong Tao frowned and threw the battle axe towards Funina.

Facing the flying battle axe, Finina was frightened again. When she raised her hand, the battle axe was blocked by the suddenly rising ice wall. But just when she thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, Hong Tao suddenly punched and broke the ice wall that trapped the battle axe.

"Let's see how you block it this time!"

He held the giant axe horizontally, and the axe blade carried the power of the ancient times, like a mountain torrent.

"Flood disaster, force breaking thousands...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, the cold air gathered around Hong Tao again, and the torrent of energy that had been gathering on the axe blade instantly froze into ice. Hong Tao was quick-witted and swift-handed, quickly retreating. In just a moment, a three-foot-high ice wall formed where he stood, completely freezing the torrent on the axe blade. Even his wrists were covered in a thin layer of ice. The biting cold spread along his arms, causing him to gasp.

"This is impossible..." Hong Tao shook his wrist, trying to shatter the ice, but the ice seemed to have taken root, firmly clinging to his skin. "How can her power be so long-lasting?"

"Successful!"

At this moment, Kuang Dao took advantage of her unpreparedness and flashed behind Funina. However, at the moment when the double blades fell, the cold air condensed again, forcing him to retreat. This time, Funina did not notice it from the beginning to the end, and only turned back slowly after hearing the sound.

"Hey, are you kidding me? What's wrong with this girl? Her power seems to be endless." Kuang Dao roared.

At this moment, Feng Ling was still standing there. After some observation, she began to think carefully about the reasons.

"Something's wrong. Although this girl's divine beast possesses immense power, she's never been able to control it with ease. This shows that her power is extremely unstable. Even the most powerful force should have a buffer period, but she..."

She frowned and suddenly noticed something.

"Speaking of which, every time she was attacked by either Hong Tao or Kuang Dao, she would show a look of fear. From her expression, I could tell that it was a subconscious action. In other words, whether it was Kuang Dao's speed or Hong Tao's strength, she had no time to react. Especially just now, when Kuang Dao attacked her from behind, she clearly didn't notice, but the cold air seemed to have its own consciousness and erected an ice shield behind her."

"Could it be!" Feng Ling's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a knowing smile, "So that's how it is."

Hong Tao turned around and asked in confusion: "What's going on? What did you understand?"

Feng Ling took two steps forward and smiled, "It's true that she can't freely control her own power, but that doesn't mean she can't use it for her own benefit."

She looked at Finina and said, "I suspect this power is a self-generated counterattack designed to protect her. It's what we often call passive defense. As soon as it senses danger approaching, this power automatically triggers and forms a defense. No wonder you're so confident."
