The huge flamingo faced the strong wind and soared all the way up.

Diluc, who was riding on it, fixed his body with his sword and tied himself firmly to the firebird.

The flames continued to sweep across, and the spreading flames actually broke through the barrier around Tevalin and rushed straight towards it.

"Roar!"

Realizing the danger, Tevalin yelled and stretched out his dragon claws, intending to take the blow head-on with his body.

What surprised everyone present was that the soaring flaming bird actually crossed Tevalin and continued to rush towards the sky.

The flames are constantly rubbing and intersecting with the wind whirlpool in the air.

Finally, when the firebird reached the highest point, its originally huge body was completely worn away.

But Diluc jumped down from the sky, raised the sword high, and a flame that was several times thicker than before wrapped around the sword's edge.

"Fire flame——"

The next second, the blooming firelight illuminated the sky and swept away the gloomy air in the tower.

A huge flaming bird gradually formed on the giant sword, and the crisp bird song kept ringing in everyone's ears.

But unlike the Firebird released before, this time Diluc did not release it directly, but instead locked it firmly in the blade.

The flames wrapped on the sword's edge gently spread its wings high in the sky.

He was trying to concentrate the firebird he had released previously into the blade, thereby enhancing every subsequent slash.

"——Burn it all!!"

From a high altitude, Diluc jumped down.

Impartially, the sword blade in his hand hit Tevalin's back directly.

The flames constantly rubbed against the dragon's wind barrier, creating bursts of sparks.

The howling wind clashed head-on with the burning flames, blowing the corners of Diluc's clothes around.

Although he could rely on the giant sword to keep a certain distance from Tevalin to ensure that he would not be harmed, the flying wind at such a close distance was still so strong that he could not even open his eyes.

But he could feel that the disappearing flames in his hands were continuously consuming the opponent's barrier.

Every time he consumes a point, the opponent's defense will weaken by one point.

Finally, the burning firebird on Diluc's sword was finally consumed by Tevalin's wind, and the surrounding air that had been deformed by the man's flame gradually returned to normal.

But Diluc wasn't about to give up.

His sword blade was once again engulfed in flames.

Flame-Reverse Blade, three in a row.

Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's defense had been depleted by the previous slashes, Diluc actually stood on Tvarin's back and waved the giant sword.

But at the same time, his feet were also attacked by the strong wind. His legs, which were only wrapped in ordinary clothes, were torn open by the strong wind the moment they touched the barrier.

Every time the giant sword connected with the dragon's back, his body received a share of damage.

"ha!"

When the last blow was over, the man's legs were already bloody.

Tevalin was also shocked by the man's desperate actions. The huge sword burning with flames did cause considerable damage to it.

"Roar!"

In the angry roar of the dragon, the man was thrown into the sky by the wind dragon.

If the wind dragon is allowed to do anything, Diluc's body will be torn to pieces in the next second.

But under the high altitude, the warm power that originally flowed in the heart of the piano finally reached its peak at this moment.

Power surged in front of her, and the blonde woman shouted loudly towards the giant dragon in the sky.

"In the name of the wind - the roar of the wind and the roar of the lion!"

It was no longer the calm wind sound before. With Qin's roar, like the arrival of the Lion King, a tornado completely different from the violent wind emitted by the wind dragon formed in front of the knight leader.

With the help of the power of the South Wind Shield, Qin completely unleashed the side of the South Wind Lion.

The emerald green lion formed from the pure power of wind element between heaven and earth leaped lightly in mid-air.

It waved its lion claws, two wind blades formed in front of it, and rushed towards the lost wind dragon with the roaring wind.

"boom!!"

The lion and the dragon started a desperate struggle in mid-air, and for a while they couldn't tell the winner.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the lion condensed by the elemental power is slowly at a disadvantage, and maybe it will be completely defeated after a while.

Qin gritted her teeth and worked hard to convey elemental power into it.

Hold on, hold on some more.

Wendy beside him was naturally not idle either. He constantly encouraged the wind elements around him to inject into the lion.

With the efforts of the two of them, the lion stopped its decline for a while.

"Ouch!"

"Roar!"

The roars of dragons and lions echoed among the towers, causing some cracks in the surrounding city walls that had endured for thousands of years.

Diluc, who was rescued by Qin, held on his body and watched the fight high in the sky, as well as... the real core of the plan.

——————

The lion and the dragon were fighting, but Ying and Bai Qiyun in mid-air did not relax at all.

Looking at the young man's serious face, Ying agreed to the other party's request without hesitation.

Then he turned his back and let it do what he did to his back.

The boy's palms were pressed against the girl's exposed white back, and the smooth feeling came through his palms, making him lose consciousness for a while.

But soon, Bai Qiyun calmed down and passed the power he got from the earth veins down his hands.

The power from the ancient existence suddenly ignited Ying's remaining power, and the power that had helped her travel to the distant sky began to slowly revive at this moment.

But she knew that this was just a natural reaction caused by the energy transmitted by the young man behind her, and it would change to its original appearance after the other party stopped transmitting it.

"I will help you create a momentary flaw, and then you can rush towards that place."

The young man's whisper passed by Ying's ears, soft but extremely clear.

The blond girl nodded heavily and began to gather all her strength to prepare for the opportunity that would pass by in a flash.

She believed in him and believed in what he believed in herself.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun felt relieved.

Then just leave it to Ying.

As the power of the earth's veins slowly flowed through the young man's body, the originally aqua blue armor was dyed silver at some point.

Looking from a distance, a young man in silver armor shines dazzlingly in the mid-air.

In order to transfer power to Ying faster, Bai Qiyun closed his eyes and kept sinking his consciousness.

Just like before, he came to the contract space in his body.

The contract document, which was originally glowing with white light, now began to flicker under the influence of the power of the earth's veins.

He could feel the power in his body.

Those are the last traces of the existence of those who fought for freedom.

In order to realize their sad wish, they gave everything to him.

In order to complete Qin and Ying's commission, he is standing here now.

But what about beyond that?

What is the purpose of embarking on the journey?

What is the purpose of participating in the incident in Mondstadt?

Perhaps, the answer may be extremely simple.

The answer that he once had, but was abandoned by him.

At this time, high in the sky, he had to face it again and slowly uncovered the dusty memory.

Yes, it's just a boy's wish.

——I stand here, nothing but what I want to do.

The desire in my heart began to melt, and continued to merge with the power from ancient times.

People's sad wishes and young people's wishes are no longer distinguishable from each other.

But in addition, he also needs an opportunity, an opportunity to ignite himself.
To be continued...
