The biting frost brushed over the feet, covering them with a thick layer of ice.

The apostle of the abyss was shocked and broke the attachments clinging to it.

"It seems I've come to the right place."

Protecting the two seriously injured girls behind him, Kaia stared at the apostle of the abyss in front of him with a slightly playful smile.

Judging from Schubert's leyline seal drawing, the reason for this demonic wave's attack on Mondstadt City is not only the leakage of the seal, but also the problem of distant echoes of leyline nodes outside the city.

However, if the four winds were present in the past, even if this insignificant node was given to the other party, it would be useless for the other party to hold it.

But at this critical moment, the two leyline nodes marked on the drawing happen to be connected to the underground of Mondstadt City. If the abyss erosion in these two places is not eradicated, then it is useless to just garrison Mondstadt City.

The tide will never go out.

So after Kaiya realized this, he immediately chose Xingluo Lake, which was closer to Mondstadt City, among the two nodes, to come here.

As for the further node of Old Mondstadt, I think their acting captain has already rushed there, so just leave everything to that gentle woman.

Looking around, Kaia felt slightly relieved as there were no other enemies besides the Abyss Apostles at the edge of Xingluo Lake.

But it's normal. The opponent's main force is besieging Mondstadt City, and the Abyss Order doesn't seem to have a lot of manpower, otherwise it wouldn't be able to rely on the power of the Qiuqiu people scattered in the wilderness.

Kaiana glanced around and inadvertently landed on the apostle of the abyss, which made the apostle feel nervous.

Even without fighting, it could feel that the man in front of it was not on the same level as those two little guys.

Just standing in front of it was like a gust of cold wind, biting to the bone.

The frighteningly rich ice elemental power was running around, and the lake water, which was originally hot in summer, began to gradually freeze.

Even its whole body was a little stiff from the icy cold.

"Who are you..."

The apostle of the abyss slowly uttered two words and stared at the man in front of him.

"Oh? Don't you know me? Don't you, the Abyss Cult, know who your enemies are before attacking?"

With rhythmic steps, Kaia drew the West Wind sword at his side and pointed it at the strange-looking guy in front of him.

Yes, this person should be the person he saw in the photo camera that Bai Qiyun and Bennett brought back before.

Evil, corrupt.

The temperament is exactly the same.

Kaia narrowed his eyes and flicked the long sword in his hand.

In an instant, the lake was covered with a thick layer of ice.

The scattered ice elemental power formed a freezing cold current and rushed towards the apostle of the abyss.

The water film on the opponent's body that was originally used for defense now turned into a life-threatening talisman.

The moment the water element and the ice element intersect, the Abyss Apostle's body is covered with thick ice cubes, making it require great strength to even move.

"snort."

In this case, the Abyss Apostle waved his hand and directly removed the water film on his body, exposing the complete armor to the air.

In a sense, ice is indeed the most restrained element of water.

Seeing that his attack was effective, a smile appeared on Kaia's lips.

It just makes people unhappy no matter how they look at it.

"The tides of the abyss."

Facing the unknown enemy, the apostles of the abyss immediately attacked Kaia with all their strength.

The water waves touching the sky continued to surge, turning into several water blades that shot through the air.

In this situation, Kaia just moved her steps and dodged them all.

"The strength is acceptable, but the speed is still lacking."

"What?"

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him could dodge his attack so easily, and the apostle of the abyss looked shocked.

Just the next second, extremely rich elemental power surged around it again.

"The sound of the tide in the abyss."

Unlike the previous attack that targeted individuals, this move covers a huge area and is characterized by a large attack range.

The lake water covered by the ice began to surge and churn under its pull.

"Boom~"

The water waves broke through the ice and rushed straight into the sky like a fountain, continuously spilling down at high places.

Just before dripping onto the ground, the tiny water droplets floating in the air were condensed into ice chips by the surrounding cold and accumulated on the tree trunks.

The rare ice particles that fell to the ground also melted into the ground, making them creak when stepped on.

The huge waves driven by the apostles of the abyss were like wild beasts from ancient times, rampaging across the ground, uprooting all the trees along the way, and crashed into Kaia with extremely strong force.

In response, Kaia smiled slightly and dodged while controlling the ice elemental power to condense the waves.

"Did you know that if you want to be the captain of the Knights in Mondstadt, there are three rigid conditions that have remained unchanged since ancient times."

Facing the huge waves one after another, Kaia looked relaxed and even had the time to talk to the other person.

But the apostle of the abyss ignored him and just focused on controlling the water flow in his hands to rush towards the opponent.

"First, loyalty. As the captain of the Knights, you must put the interests of the Knights and Mond's interests as your top priority."

After waving his hand to freeze the waves in front of him again, Kaia kept walking in the water.

The expression on his face was so casual and relaxed that it was completely impossible to tell that he was facing an enemy who could overturn the water of Xingluo Lake in an instant.

"Second, moral character. As the captain of the Knights, you cannot violate Mondstadt's laws and must set an example for everyone."

However, this is still a bit luxurious for Kaia. In the eyes of people who are not familiar with him, he is always easy-going and approachable, but those who are familiar with him know that this guy is a guy who will do whatever it takes to achieve the justice in his heart.

"Third, strength."

Kaia swung his sword, and the cold wave spread from the edge of the sword, gradually covering the entire ground next to Xingluo Lake.

He stared at the apostle of the abyss in front of him with his peacock-like pupils.

"Every captain who is officially appointed by the Knights will be enshrined in the merit room of the Knights and leave his name in history."

The man's slightly teasing words vibrated with the surrounding ice elements, dyeing the earth a snow-white color.

"The prerequisite for becoming a captain is to have the ability to light up three life stars. After lighting up three life stars, a person will gain a power that is completely different from that of ordinary God's Eye holders."

The Eye of God hanging beside Kaia began to flash with icy blue light crazily, and the Life Star slowly emerged behind him.

"Let you see the true strength of a captain."

One after another, the fate stars entangled by the starlight merged into a constellation, in which a peacock appeared behind Kaia.

"God's Eye, Liberation."

As the man finished speaking, the constellations behind him were lit up by the stars, and the peacock seemed to be alive, singing loudly.

The power from the sky permeates the earth, completely sealing everything around the apostle of the abyss.

Thousands of years of frost have trapped it in place.

"this...."

The apostle of the abyss struggled desperately, but he couldn't open the thick ice on his limbs.

Moreover, the summoned frost actually pressed its entire body to the ground, making it unable to move.

Kaia walked steadily, like a cheetah that had captured its prey, overlooking the enemy in front of him.

The sword blade in his hand was swung down, and ice enveloped the ground.
