Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

However, faced with the abyss mage's seduction, Dvalin merely roared, and the next moment a terrifying storm accompanied the roar, suddenly sweeping across the platform in front of him.

"Paji!"

Without a doubt, a mere abyss mage would have no chance of survival in the storm stirred up by the wind dragon; all that would remain would be a tiny, easily overlooked trace of blood.

"Poor dragon, is this the only way you can vent your anger?"

"But that doesn't change the fact that you've been abandoned. Otherwise, why hasn't the Wind God appeared before you since then?"

Another abyss mage appeared before Dvalin, its hypocritical lament like sharp daggers piercing Dvalin's already riddled consciousness.

Dulin's poisonous blood had a tremendous impact on him, and the power of the abyss was constantly eroding and bewitching him.

"No...get out of here!"

Dvalin roared once more, and the raging wind wiped the unknown abyss mage from the world once more.

However, the next moment, another Abyss Mage teleported in front of Dvalin.

It's just death, nothing more. For these guys in the Abyss Order, death is just commonplace. Perhaps even eternal death is a blessing to them!

"Dragon, oh dragon, go and serve your true master. There's no need to struggle anymore. I... Waaah!"

The abyss mage's seduction continued unabated, but a sudden gust of wind, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, wrapped around its neck, completely silencing its remaining words.

"This dragon has never had a master. Don't assume everyone is like you rats hiding underground!"

Su Feng, appearing out of nowhere, accompanied by a gentle breeze, stood before Dvalin. Manipulating the breeze to sever the Abyss Mage's spell, he announced his arrival to the members of the Abyss Order.

"You...cough cough...uh!"

The abyss mage, who was restrained by the wind, wanted to say something, but Su Feng did not intend to give this villain any more chances to perform. With a seemingly light breeze blowing by, the abyss mage quickly disappeared on the spot like a dandelion.

"Alright, now that the source of interference is gone for the time being, perhaps we can have a proper chat? The former king of the skies, Barbatos's former servant—Dvalin, the Dragon of the East Wind."

Su Feng looked up at the giant dragon floating in the air, and he could feel the pain and sorrow emanating from the dragon.

Evil forces tormented the dragon's body, while the pain of being forgotten and abandoned tormented its spirit.

"Barbatos's retinue..."

"So...you're here to kill me?"

Under the torment and inducement of multiple pains, Dvalin roared and stirred up a gale. His anger stained the originally verdant dragon with a blood-red color. Perhaps the bewitching abyss had confused his mind, or perhaps the continuous torment and wear and tear had damaged his spirit. When he sensed the power of Barbatos on Su Feng, he immediately became vigilant.

“That’s not true, Barbatos…”

"Feel the grace!"

Tvalin's anger was not beyond Su Feng's expectations, but just as he was about to calm his anger, a sharp water blade suddenly interrupted him.

"!"

The suddenly appearing sharp water blades did nothing to Su Feng—the water blades, powerful enough to cut through steel and iron, were simply blown away into the air by a breeze that seemed to rise from nowhere as soon as they got close to Su Feng.

But after Su Feng looked around, he discovered that one teleportation portal after another opened right next to him, and those portals naturally produced apostles and chanters from the Abyss Order.

The Abyss Order arrived so quickly.

Even though he had long guessed that the Abyss Order wouldn't let him take Dvalin away so easily, Su Feng was still surprised by how fast the other party reacted.

It seems that the Abyss Order has indeed invested a lot of effort in Dvalin, otherwise these Abyss Apostles could not have appeared so quickly!

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Su Feng didn't take the Abyss Order, which was gradually surrounding him, to heart; he was more concerned about Dvalin's attitude.

Dvalin certainly saw the Abyss Apostles who had surrounded Su Feng, but he did not choose to help either side. Instead, after confirming that neither side had the energy to pay attention to him for the time being, he spread his wings and flew directly into the sky.

"Should we just leave? That's not necessarily the worst option."

Su Feng couldn't help but sigh slightly at Tvalin's departure, but he wasn't too disappointed.

After all, it's fortunate that Dvalin hasn't completely sided with the Abyss. If Dvalin were to choose to join forces with the Abyss Order to deal with Su Feng now, that would be the source of disaster.

However, Su Feng felt a headache coming on considering that Tvalin might still choose to resist treatment later.

How about we bring Wendy over to work later?

After all, Dvalin was his subordinate, and it would be really unfair if he didn't put in some effort.

With this thought in mind, Su Feng finally had time to look at the numerous forces belonging to the Abyss Order that had completely surrounded him.

"Alright, since the temporary host here has left, I'll represent the patient's family to deal with you uninvited guests!"

After saying that, Su Feng shook his hand expressionlessly.

The next moment, the gentle breeze that had been surrounding him suddenly stopped and began to roar violently.

Chapter Ten: The Abyss Order's Overt Scheme

The Abyss Order is a group that wreaks havoc all over Teyvat. These guys who constantly use the power of the Abyss to corrupt Teyvat can be considered absolute villains.

Most of them, whose kingdoms were annihilated by the Seven Gods, cursed with immortality by the laws of heaven, and who even chose to surrender to the abyss, had long since fallen into madness.

Just like these Abyss Apostles that are now appearing in front of Su Feng.

The power of the abyss has completely turned them into empty shells that are still somewhat human, serving as vessels for that power. Now, besides their mad hatred of all life outside the abyss, they have nothing left.

Even those in the Abyss Order who still retained their rationality merely used these apostles as slightly stronger henchmen.

In some ways, these Abyss Apostles are not even as good as the Abyss Mages who were used to bewitch Dvalin before.

Even if these apostles are far more powerful than those abyss mages, it doesn't matter.

No, more accurately, it is precisely because they wield more powerful abyssal forces that they are more easily corrupted by the abyssal power and turned into mindless puppets.

So when faced with these madmen who only knew how to shout "feel the grace", Su Feng didn't intend to say much. Instead, he summoned a towering tornado that enveloped everything.

The tornado that suddenly appeared on the platform instantly enveloped everyone. Even the apostles, who had been corrupted by the abyss and were now just empty shells, suddenly felt an intense sense of impending death.

They instinctively used their elemental power and even abyssal power to try to resist this terrifying tornado. However, when faced with the great power of heaven and earth, even the resistance that the strong members of the Abyss Order could put forward was insignificant.

Everyone was completely engulfed in the tornado. The next moment, the Abyss Apostles, who were now just empty shells, were torn to shreds by the terrifying tornado. After the Abyss Apostles were dealt with, the violent tornado suddenly began to collapse.

After a while, a thick mass of wind core slowly landed in front of Su Feng.

"Tch, these guys are a real nuisance."

"Even in death, there will be no peace."

Looking at the cloud of wind core in front of him, which had taken on a dark purple hue, Su Feng couldn't help but curl his lip.

These guys from the Abyss Order are not to be trifled with, especially these apostles who have been completely corrupted by the power of the abyss, whose entire bodies are filled with the power unique to the abyss.

For the humans of Teyvat, the Abyss, which symbolizes the power of the Void, is undoubtedly an irresistible poison. Even though the Abyss Order is indeed named after the Abyss, in reality, these guys who claim to have mastered the power of the Abyss can at most survive a little longer under its corruption.

The abyssal power accumulated within the members of the Abyssal Order is a veritable poison to these individuals.

This then leads to another problem—when these members of the Abyss Order are killed in the mortal world, the Abyss power accumulated within them explodes like a bomb.

Under normal circumstances, this will not cause too serious problems—even the abyssal power contained within an entity of the Abyssal Apostle level is actually nothing in the vast mortal world.

As potent poisons to each other, the power of the human realm and the elemental power transformed from the power of the light realm will use their immense strength to erase the scattered power of the abyss in a relatively short time.

But the problem Su Feng is facing now is clearly not that simple—he has eliminated quite a few Abyss Apostles in one go, and more importantly, these Abyss Apostles have been clearly injected with an excessive amount of Abyss power!

Those guys from the Abyss Order were just trying to annoy him or Mondstadt by using these Abyss Apostles as bombs!

Yes, these Abyssal Apostles are probably after Venti. After all, Venti is still in a weakened state. If they use an Abyssal Bomb to trick him at this time, the Abyssal Order might be able to do even more in Mondstadt.

But such speculation is irrelevant now.

If this bomb is not dealt with in time, the abyssal power scattered from these abyssal apostles could even turn the entire Wind Dragon Ruins into a wasteland filled with abyssal poison sacs within a certain period of time!

When the time comes, whether it's Su Feng or Wendy, if they want to deal with the influence of the Abyss, they can only guide a larger amount of elemental power and use the most cumbersome method to cleanse the entire Wind Dragon Ruins inside and out little by little!

This is undoubtedly a huge project, and it will inevitably bring Wendy a huge drain on her resources.

In this situation, if Venti were to come, he would definitely choose to control this power from the abyss before the bomb explodes. However, given the suddenness of the situation, Venti would inevitably have to reveal a little bit of his abilities.

So this is actually a calculated scheme, a scheme to deplete Venti's power while simultaneously probing his weaknesses!

Fortunately, when Su Feng was dealing with these Abyss Apostles, he keenly sensed the abnormal Abyss power within them. After realizing this, Su Feng decisively chose to guide the tornado formed by his power to transform into layers of thick seals, completely enveloping all the Abyss power.

But after solving the first problem, Su Feng felt even more troubled looking at the wind core in front of him.

Through the heavy wind element, he could clearly sense that the abyssal power, which had been sealed layer by layer, had entered an unprecedented state of activation. This strange and terrifying power was constantly eroding and plundering Su Feng's power to make himself stronger. What was worse was that, in the face of the erosion of the abyssal power, the wind element alone was simply not enough to resist it.

The seal is being slowly broken. If no further action is taken, Su Feng's power will probably be completely eroded in less than a month. At that time, the sealed abyssal power will become even stronger and more difficult to deal with!

"trouble!"

Su Feng, who was having his first encounter with the power of the Abyss, couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. He never expected that the power of the divine familiar that he had just obtained from Wendy would immediately suffer a minor setback with the Abyss.

This is so unreliable!

It's impossible that just because Wendy led us astray, even the wind element has become unreliable now.

Thinking about this, Su Feng's resentment towards Wendy seemed to deepen even further.

"Forget it, now that this matter has fallen into my hands, I can't just push it away."

After muttering these words in a muttering manner, Su Feng said helplessly, and then pointed his somewhat pale finger at the slightly scattered wind core in front of him.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the wind core, which seemed to be on the verge of collapsing at any moment, suddenly stopped, but soon the entire unstable wind core became much thicker.

If someone were to observe the interior of the wind core at this time, they would find that the abyssal power, which was constantly eroding the wind element and growing stronger, is now as if it has directly crashed into a thick steel plate.

The abyssal power, which should have been invincible, unexpectedly found itself unable to find any entry point when faced with the slightly modified wind element. In fact, the ever-flowing wind element began to cut into the abyssal power and pull the cut-off particles into its own body, purifying them into one of its own!

The balance of power shifted in an instant!

Meanwhile, Venti, who was far away in Mondstadt, shamelessly trying to get more drinks from Diluc, was slightly taken aback, but before Diluc could notice his odd behavior, he returned to normal—at least behaving the same as before.

But no one knows what he's thinking right now.

Chapter Eleven: Patients' Emotional Instability

The Abyss Order is a troublesome opponent, but for Su Feng right now, the biggest problem is not these guys who are hiding somewhere plotting something.

After all, the Abyss Order has existed for hundreds of years. Although these guys are indeed preparing to unleash a huge disaster in Teyvat, their time has not yet come, and the impact they can have on Su Feng is limited.
