Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

As for why the lyre calls it Boreas, the reason is quite simple.

Now that it is a servant of the Wind God, it would be inappropriate to refer to it by the name it used during the Demon God War when the gods were vying for power.

Let's understand it this way: Mondstadt people, or others, who know this ancient demon prefer to call it Boreas, the Wolf of the North Wind.

Those outsiders who are unfamiliar with this creature and who do not respect it much prefer to call it by its demonic name, Andrius.

Just as the leader of the guild was wondering why the Abyss Order was targeting Boreas, Paimon gave a very simple reason.

"Simply looking for trouble shouldn't need a reason, right? Look, the Abyss Order has already caused trouble for Dvalin, so it's not surprising that they'd cause trouble for another Wind God Scroll."

Hearing this explanation, Qin gave up thinking.

"That makes sense..."

Whatever their purpose, in short, beat them all to a pulp!

"In short, leave all the threats in this area to me. Honor Knight, Miss Huiyuan, please help me go and check if Wang Lang is in danger. The remnant soul of the Demon God... is rarely seen. But I heard you two had a brief encounter with it, so perhaps you two are the most suitable to go."

Seeing Qin say this, Huiyuan and Ying nodded and agreed.

Upon seeing this, Qin, just as she always did when commanding troops, offered her blessings.

"Be careful. I entrust the mission ahead to you, Knights of Favonius, Generals of Liyue."

After retrieving all the drones, Huiyuan led Ying forward in a charge.

Upon arriving at the arena for the trial, everyone looked down at the enormous wolf king.

Paimon said, "It's Razer! And... the Abyss Apostle!"

Just like the one Ying encountered before, it was an Abyss Apostle who used water to fight.

The claw blades on its arm guards were not severed, but Ying was certain that this apostle was the same one she had encountered before.

There is no basis for this, since it cannot be determined from appearance alone; it is merely a sixth sense.

The boy, Raize, who couldn't speak clearly, concealed his eyes, held a greatsword in his hand, stared at his opponent menacingly, and protected the wolf king behind him.

"You are not welcome here."

The reason Razer was protecting the wolf king was because the giant wolf was bound by the purplish-black chains of a dark magic circle.

This is not just a physical constraint; this magic circle clearly has other functions, weakening the wolf king's power.

Ying and Huiyuan stepped forward and stood with Lei Ze.

Upon seeing this, the Abyss Apostle spoke enticing words to the Wolf King.

"Hehehe... The wolf, now only a remnant of its soul, still retains the habit of caring for its offspring. Is it trying to make them its protectors? But its strength is clearly no match for the demon god's former claws. As long as you submit to us, you can regain authority comparable to that of the gods, just like before."

Upon hearing these words, the wolf king Boreas's eyes turned ferocious, and he spat out two words viciously.

"calumny..."

Paimon was very worried as he looked at Boreas, who was trapped by a mysterious magic circle.

"What is this? It looks painful! Hmm... Is it something like the 'corrosion' that controls Dvalin's mind?!"

Huiyuan stared at the wolf who had once tried to kill him and "take back" the Heart of God, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

(Wait a minute... With its strength, it shouldn't be bound by something of this level.)

The last time you hit me, the force you unleashed wasn't this weak...

Did you unleash your hidden power because you saw Barbatos's divine heart within me?

Thinking about it carefully... that makes sense. The opponent is just an Abyss Apostle, at most an elite monster. It might be inappropriate to rashly use its hidden power.

What if a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appears out of nowhere... then we won't have the strength to fight.

Moreover... this magic circle is somewhat strange; its power to control the mind is too strong. If one were to use all their strength and their mind were controlled, that would be even more disastrous.

That's why it just stood there, resisting the inexplicable evil thoughts in its heart.

How were you managed to be controlled? Were you ambushed?

Just as Huiyuan was thinking rapidly, Ying summoned the Bladeless Sword and made a bold statement.

"Just another battle against the apostles."

Seeing this, Huiyuan did not hesitate any longer. She shielded everyone in front of her and took out the negative status purifier.

(Laughing, I'm a support, so it makes sense that I have some healing skills that can remove crowd control effects, right?)

Just as the Abyss Apostle summoned monsters from the portal and began fighting against Luminous and Razer, the power of the magic circle gradually dissipated.

Not only that, Boreas was given the buff "Cats Have Nine Lives" by Huiyuan.

It is the ability of the skill [Meow Blessing], which can be activated at critical moments to negate fatal damage.

Not only that, it can also increase strength and speed by 30%.

If you switch to Lingling's skin, the enhancement effect of this skill will become a 5x increase in strength and speed.

Upon seeing the menacing remnant of Andrius charging towards them, the Abyss Apostle sensed something was wrong and hurriedly fled.

To be honest, even if Huiyuan didn't help the wolf king, it could have broken free of its restraints on its own.

Although it is now just a remnant of Andrius's soul, even a remnant soul's will is no small matter.

After Boreas swatted the Hilichurls formed from the surrounding abyssal power into dust, Paimon looked around.

This abyssal apostle seemed to have no intention of lingering in the fight, and fled quite decisively.

"Disappeared again..."

Ying pursed her lips upon seeing this.

"He ran pretty fast."

The dusty little boy, Razer, sniffed around and, only after confirming that all the enemies had left, sheathed his greatsword.

He looked over and said slowly, "Thank you, you've come just in time."

Seeing that Lei Ze was expressing his gratitude, the Wind God's familiar, the North Wind King Wolf [Boreas], also looked at Huiyuan and Ying.

"Lupika among humans... I apologize for showing you this side of myself. But the apostle of the abyss has ultimately underestimated me."

At this moment, Razer, with a dejected look on his face, explained the cause of the matter.

"Wang Lang doesn't refuse the trial. But this sinister outsider doesn't abide by the rules of the trial. And I, too, fail to notice the trap he's set..."

Paimon rearranged and recombined these words and began to analyze them.

"In other words, the Abyss Cult prepared for the corruption first, and then awakened the Wolf King in the name of trial?"

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan complained, "This disciple is not showing any martial ethics when he attacks Zhou Ben."

At this moment, Ying patted Razer's head, comforting the pitiful little werewolf in front of her.

“This is not your fault, Razer.”

"Thank you... From now on, my claws need to be sharper. You sensed danger and came here?"
