He only realized what was happening after Wendy had completely killed the dragon and the raging wind had shattered every single cell of it.

A barrier had been erected around them at some unknown time.

The sole purpose of this barrier is to isolate him from Mondstadt's senses. The guy who set up this barrier must have put in a lot of effort, yet he couldn't detect it for a while!

If the dragon hadn't been completely destroyed by him, causing the barrier to shatter automatically, it might have taken Venti some more time to notice.

Knowing the barrier had shattered, Venti rushed to Mondstadt at top speed.

Wendy was in turmoil. He didn't know what had happened to his Mondstadt, but he could tell it wasn't anything good!

In the blink of an eye, Wendy arrived outside Mondstadt.

He saw the battlefield after the great battle, he saw Da Bao lying on the ground unable to move, he saw all the wounded Mondstadt members, and he saw Diluc surrounded by people, holding the lifeless Norra in his arms!

The winds of Mondstadt suddenly became turbulent, just like Wendy's inner turmoil at that moment.

P.S.: Thank you everyone for the gifts.

Chapter 50 The Lost Soul

Without asking or investigating, the wind had already told Wendy everything that had happened.

Wendy was surrounded by divine power, floating in the air, and he took out the Poem of the End.

He drew back the bowstring, and an arrow materialized out of thin air.

Unlike the peaceful arrow of the previous one, this arrow caused a whirlwind to rise and dark clouds to gather. People in Mondstadt could only see a vortex formed by the gathering wind.

"No?!"

At this moment, every breeze is Wendy's eye, but he still can't find that bastard!

There was no trace of that bastard Abyss around; it had already fled before he arrived.

Without a target, Wendy fired her fully charged arrow high into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds.

Wendy approached the crowd, and everyone made way for her.

"Lord Barbatos!"

Noelle's face was streaked with tears, and her armor was torn in many places. She knelt down before Wendy in a devout manner: "Please, you must save Nora, I beg you, Lord Barbatos!"

Jean and the others were all injured and looked very disheveled. Everyone was looking at Wendy with a last glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Diluc's face was more ashen than ever before. He held Nora's body tightly, unwilling to let go, his face gently pressed against her forehead, his heart growing cold along with her body.

Seeing Wendy approach, Diluc looked at her expectantly:

Can you save her?

Wendy crouched down slightly and gently touched Nora's forehead.

Wendy's face, which had remained expressionless since her arrival, finally showed a look of annoyance.

In Teyvat, the souls of the dead linger in the world for a short time. But why can't we sense Nora's soul, even though she has only been dead for a short time?

A thought suddenly flashed through Wendy's mind, and his eyes became incredibly sharp, filled with murderous intent.

Did it take away Nora's soul?!

Realizing that something was wrong with her emotions, Wendy immediately closed her eyes to calm herself down.

When he dons the divine crown, he becomes the god of wind, his emotions deeply hidden and never to be swayed by them.

Soon, Wendy opened her eyes and saw Diluc anxiously waiting for her reply.

"I'm sorry, she's already..."

Wendy didn't tell Diluc about Nora's soul. She could tell that Diluc was already on the verge of collapse, and she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear telling him such a cruel truth.

Wendy didn't finish speaking, but everyone present could understand what he was trying to say.

Diluc silently hugged Nora tighter, tears welling up in his eyes again.

Sobbing could be heard from all around.

Ying felt a surge of anger within her, with nowhere to vent it. She deeply hated her own powerlessness. If only she hadn't lost her strength, if only she could be stronger, if only...

If she hadn't died!

Holding the longsword Ruola had given her, Ying didn't turn around to look at Ruola's body, but instead sat down on the ground with a thud.

She didn't dare to look at Ruola's current appearance, and in fact, there was no need to, because that image was already deeply etched into her heart.

Ying sat on the ground, rubbing her eyes repeatedly.

The sandstorm is really strong today; sand keeps getting into my eyes...

······

The world of players.

The final scene shows Ying sitting alone in a corner, silently shedding tears.

Throughout the entire story, Guozi's tears never stopped flowing; she not only shed tears but also had a runny nose, and she used up half a pack of tissues.

"Waaaaah, mihy, you have no heart! Why? Nora was so cute and popular, why did you have to kill her? Waaaaah..."

"If you want to make money, just add her to the gacha pool, and the money will flow in like crazy! Waaah~"

"Do you realize how many players you're driving crazy with your actions? Is this what you want to see? Waaah~"

While looking at the pictures on the computer screen, Guozi cried and wiped away her tears, while constantly complaining to the viewers in the live stream.

[I'm so upset, guys. What should I do? Every time I'm quiet, I think about Ruola. I'm probably going to have insomnia for the next few days.]

[Sigh, I haven't cried like this in a long time. My mom thought I had broken up with my boyfriend and spent ages comforting me.]

[We're sending death threats to miHoYo as a group! Anyone want to join?]

[I saved up over 300 pulls just to wait for Ruola. Ruola is my favorite character I've encountered in all these years of playing games. I never expected this...]

I could tell Wendy was very sad. Even though he didn't say anything, it was as if he said everything.

How many times have we met Wendy in total? Almost half of the meetings involved his story with Nora. He must have really liked Nora...

My biggest worry is my grandfather. He must be devastated by the pain of losing another loved one.

【...】

A streamer named Penguin next door got so angry after seeing Ruola get stabbed that he quit, uninstalled the app, and ended the stream.

In his words, "What's the point of playing this game if Nora is dead?!"

However, he returned just two hours later, claiming that he was determined to destroy that bastard in the game and avenge Ruola!

······

After maliciously leaving the Mondstadt battlefield, he quickly fled, trying to escape the location where Venti was.

Faced with the enraged wind god, he couldn't guarantee that he could escape perfectly.

Although even the Seven Gods couldn't see through his concealment, if someone were to launch a massive area-of-effect attack, this newly created disguise would immediately be destroyed.

The malice that had been rushing all the way to the border of Mondstadt finally slowed down.

This seems to be the boundary of the Stone Gate, but why is there a barrier here?

Moreover, he was familiar with this barrier; it was the one he used to prevent Venti from detecting Mondstadt, but it was somewhat different—this barrier could also trap those inside.

It seems someone has figured out my hiding method and is lying in wait here.

"Having committed such a heinous crime, you think you can just run away like this?"

Turning around maliciously, the person who appeared was none other than Daines Reeb, who had disappeared for a long time.

Malice had no idea how Dain had discovered his whereabouts. He knew very little about Dain, only that he was the last captain of the Kanria court guard, known as the "Sword of the End."

"Dain, Sreib!"

He maliciously shouted out Daines Reb's name in a hoarse voice.

"You know me?"

"Dainsreb! Enemies of the Abyss, annihilate, crush!"

It roared maliciously and launched an attack on Dain.

Since the blame has already been placed on empty heads, it doesn't matter if we add another hat, right?

Dain drew his longsword to deal with the situation, and at the same time, his previously vague guess began to deviate slightly.

It really is you, Sora. Why did you do this?

How can you face your sister like this?!

Clearing his mind of unnecessary thoughts, Dain focused on dealing with the guy in front of him.

"No matter who you are, you must pay the price!"

The two only fought for a short while before Malice was slashed several times by Din. If it weren't for his thick skin, he probably wouldn't be alive by now.

As expected of the "Sword of the End of Light," its strength is indeed formidable!

Malice, unwilling to continue fighting him here, seized an opportunity, broke through the barrier, and disappeared from Dain's sight.

Dain stared at the shattered barrier, speechless for a long time.

"You will absolutely not survive the next time we meet!"

······

Chapter 51 I will kill it and avenge you!

What happened here?

Having just arrived from Liyue and passed through the Stone Gate to reach Mondstadt, Mu Qingge saw this scene caused by malice and Dain.

Although she was fully aware of everything that had just happened here, it didn't diminish her confusion.

Yes, she who just died as Ruola has now returned as Mu Qingge.

After observing her surroundings, Mu Qingge muttered to herself:

"It seems to have been left behind by someone in a battle, and both sides were very strong."

After noting down the general situation here, Mu Qingge planned to tell them about it when they arrived in Mondstadt.

Unlike Ying, Mu Qingge didn't have the means to spread information around; she was alone and it took her more than a day to get here.

There was no need for her to come to Mondstadt this time, and she was not the most suitable person to help with the expansion and protection of the Mondstadt-Liyue trade route.

The main reason I took on this mission was to visit my good friend Nora in Mondstadt.

The last time the two met was during the Lantern Festival, and since then they have only corresponded by letter.

Liyue has now stabilized and everything is going smoothly, so she can take this opportunity to make up for the leave she should have taken before, so that her Thousand Rock Army subordinates won't keep complaining.

As Qingge made her way towards Mondstadt, she felt something was amiss.

Why are there so few monsters in Mondstadt? She's only encountered one so far!

You should know that these monsters cannot be completely eliminated. Even if you kill them, they will reappear after a while, just like cockroaches that are impossible to kill. No, they are even more resilient than cockroaches, and they are very annoying.

"Could Mondstadt be conducting a major cleanup of monsters recently?"

It wasn't until they arrived outside Mondstadt and saw Da Bao and the terrain around him that Mu Qingge realized something was wrong.

Mondstadt seems to have undergone a major upheaval?!

Upon arriving at the gates of Mondstadt, the original gates had been destroyed, and the knights guarding the gates wore expressions of deep sorrow.

Mu Qingge stepped forward and handed over her identification:

"Hello, I am an envoy from Liyue. I have something to discuss with the Knights of Favonius."

The knight examined it and then handed it back.

"I'm sorry, traveler. As you can see, Mondstadt has just suffered a great calamity. Please forgive our poor hospitality. You can go into the city to rest first. As for meeting the captain and the others... it may take a little more time."

"It's okay, I can wait patiently."

Mu Qingge entered Mondstadt and found a hotel to stay in.
