Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 498: Failed Victory

Nine shields grew from small to large and stood in front of him like a city wall.

This was the defensive move he had used in Linglang when he was fighting Morax in order to find the Phantom.

At that time, in order to resist Tianxing, he consumed a lot of elemental power and barely blocked it. Now, although it is not as powerful as before, it is also extremely strong and enough to withstand most attacks.

However, he obviously underestimated the power of Clara's outburst.

At this moment, Clara stood still, the raging thunder around her body as if being pulled by an invisible force, frantically converging towards her fist! The dazzling lightning compressed and recompressed, emitting a heart-pounding buzzing sound, as if she was holding a thunder sun about to explode.

"Concentrate your strength on one point!"

Clara's roar drowned out the roar of thunder. She poured all the bursting electricity, along with the rage and determination to protect that surged in her chest, into her right fist without reservation.

She took a sudden step forward, the ground cracked inch by inch, and she shot out like an arrow, her heavy fist that condensed all her anger and determination slammed into the first shield.

boom--

With a deafening explosion, the first shield shattered like paper, fragments scattering in all directions, accompanied by lightning. Then came the second, the third... Clara's fists were unstoppable, crushing the heavy shields before her with overwhelming force. They couldn't stop her even for a moment.

Yit's pupils shrank suddenly, his face filled with disbelief. He frantically mobilized elemental power to try to reinforce the remaining shield, but it was all in vain.

In just a blink of an eye, all the shields were shattered, but Clara's angry punch was still as powerful as ever, hitting It's face.

boom!

A deafening explosion echoed in the laboratory. The astonishment on It's face was instantly distorted by severe pain and impact. He didn't even have time to utter a muffled groan. He was like being hit head-on by a high-speed train, and flew backwards uncontrollably.

cough!

He slammed into the wall and coughed up blood. He was defeated, not by the guardian, nor by his wary opponent, but by a young girl he had never taken seriously, who wielded astonishing power through her own will.

Etter slid down the wall, his bones aching like they were falling apart, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He raised his head, and in his blurry vision, he saw Clara walking towards him step by step. Although the thunder around her had weakened, she still carried an inviolable majesty.

"How... could this happen..." His voice was hoarse, filled with reluctance and confusion.

At this moment, Clara and Mo Yan both stood in front of him, with their weapons pointed in front of him.

"You lost!" Mo Yan held the sword, still tense.

"That's right, bring back Mr. Swarovski's core!" Clara's voice was cold and firm.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood foam and raised his head with difficulty, his gaze sweeping between Clara and Mo Yan. The usual arrogance and playfulness on his face finally disappeared completely, leaving only the dejection of a loser and a hint of disbelief.

He wanted to leave here, but given the current situation, it was almost impossible.

Mo Yan guessed his thoughts and said again: "Give up, Feng Ling and the others can't come, because my friends have already intercepted them!"

Hearing this, It frowned and gritted his teeth even more.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why all that nonsense?" His attitude remained ruthless.

Mo Yan was at his wit's end. He wanted to tie him up and deal with him later, but at this moment, a strange magic circle suddenly appeared from under It's feet, and emitted a powerful force that bounced the two of them away and isolated them.

"What's going on?" Clara was shocked.

She and Mo Yan blocked out the light and gradually opened their eyes. The magic circle had already enveloped It and began to gather.

"Oh, don't even think about running!" Clara stepped forward, but it was too late.

As soon as her hand touched the light film, the other party disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Clara's expression froze for a moment, and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

"No!" Clara screamed in frustration. The remaining light particles on her fingertips dissipated like shattered stardust, leaving only a cold sensation. She stumbled forward two steps, only to embrace a ball of empty air. Her chest heaved violently with her rapid breathing, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and loss.

She stood there looking at her hands, anger and sadness mixed together.

Yeah!

She punched the wall in front of her, and the elemental power of lightning subconsciously burst out with her fist. Amidst the dull sound of impact, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the wall.

They had clearly won, and were only one step away from taking back Swarovski's core, but still...

"Clara..." Suddenly, Swarovski made a weak sound.

Clara turned around suddenly and ran towards him with Mo Yan.

She grabbed Swarovski's cold hand, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, Mr. Swarovski, if... if I could be faster..."

Hearing this, Shiwaro shook his head: "Clara, don't... don't blame yourself... In fact, I'm very relieved that you can do everything for me, but... it's not worth it, because I can't bear to see Clara get hurt either, so... after I'm gone, you have to... take good care of yourself."

As he finished speaking, the faint red light in his eyes gradually went out. With a dull, sigh-like sound of hydraulic deflation, Swarovski's body slumped down heavily, and his joints, which had been trembling slightly, completely stopped moving.

"Mr. Swarovski!" Clara burst into tears instantly. She grabbed Swarovski's cold mechanical hand tightly, and her tears hit the metal shell, splashing tiny water droplets.

Mo Yan stood aside, watching the scene before him, his throat tightening. He wanted to comfort Clara, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless.

……

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Abyss, Kailin, Zhao Heng, Zixuan, and others intercepted the remnants of the Fallen Angel Brigade. After a hard fight with Fengling and the others, they finally subdued them. However, just as they were about to detain Fengling, Kuangdao, Hongtao, and the others, something unexpected happened.

A strange magic circle suddenly lit up under the feet of Feng Ling and others without any warning, just like when It disappeared. The dazzling light instantly swallowed up their figures.

"What?" Karen screamed and subconsciously raised her gun to shoot, but the bullet was like a drop in the ocean, completely absorbed by the light.

Zhao Heng roared and swung his giant sword, and Zi Xuan's poisonous fire also surged out, but all the attacks fell on the light array as if hitting empty space, and could not be stopped at all.

The light suddenly shrank, as if it was suddenly grasped by an invisible hand, and immediately completely absorbed Feng Ling, Kuang Dao, Hong Tao and others disappeared without a trace, leaving only a circle of charred marks on the spot and disturbing spatial fluctuations remaining in the air.
