A cold wind blew into the tent through the lifted curtain, causing the flames of the central brazier to flicker and the air to seem to freeze.

“You’re right, powerless rage really doesn’t change anything.” Arecino retracted her Crimson Moon form and waved it in her hand.

Just when the doctor thought the standoff was over, the Crimson Moon's light surged, and a blade of light nearly ten meters long appeared above the scythe's head.

Arecino raised her blood-red wings, stood up and slashed vertically. The next second, a scarlet, extremely fast blade of light flashed, sharp and cold!

There was no warning, no shouts, only pure killing intent!

"Crack!"

The doctor's severed head and his iconic mask were cleanly severed by the single strike, the head disintegrating into a rapidly dissipating mass of elemental energy. The torso remained in place for less than three seconds before Arecino's subsequent series of strikes completely obliterated it, leaving not a trace!

Only the slash marks on the ground, the shattered military tents, and the fools who came to investigate prove that the Doctor had truly existed.

"Isn't this much more powerful?" Arecino retracted her Crimson Moon form and casually shoved it into her gun holster. "In my opinion, you're nothing but a failure."

“Tell his true form to shut his mouth! Otherwise, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill him again.”

With a loud shout to the surrounding Fools, Arecino left the camp without looking back. Only then did the cold wind finally blow in, sweeping away the last trace of energy, as if nothing had ever happened.

Chapter 45 Transformation and Infiltration

The doctor was killed with a single slice, which was just a minor incident even among the Fools.

Most of the Fools' Enforcers were not on good terms with each other, and they only worked together temporarily because of the Queen. Even in the original storyline, Rosalind was killed by General Thunder with a single blow, but there were no consequences.

Only a few executives, including Arecino and the wealthy, spoke well of him, mostly because they were criticizing other executives.

The truly saddened one is perhaps only Columbia, the "girl" who had no family and few friends among the Fools. However, for Yunxiu and his group who are currently infiltrating, this intelligence will not be discovered by Mondstadt's scouts until after tonight's operation and will not be sent back to the Knights.

Without hesitation, Arecino jumped into the Wind Dragon Ruins and rushed toward the central tower. Perhaps because she was shrouded in the aura of the Crimson Moon, neither the Fatui nor the surrounding monsters made any move toward her, as if this huge energy did not exist.

-----------------

On the other side of the Wind Dragon Ruins, Abedo took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and stood up, saying, "It's almost time."

“Okay.” Yunxiu and Ying got up together. Yunxiu looked at the situation around the Wind Dragon Ruins, while Ying turned around and began to explain things to Paimon. They did not plan to take Paimon with them when they infiltrated this time, so that she could stay here and guard the camp and wait for the others to return.

Paimon was initially worried and somewhat resentful, but after the others assured him, he accepted his mission. The group hid their luggage and Paimon in the camp, then unfolded their Wind Wings and began flying towards the platform below the Wind Dragon Ruins. Abedo and Yunxiu had already observed the area that afternoon and found that this path had the fewest monsters, and their strength was relatively weak. With their combined power, they could easily kill them instantly.

After easily clearing out a few small monsters, Abedo, Yunxiu, and Ying arrived at the platform below the tower in the Wind Dragon Ruins. Looking at the densely packed monsters and the peculiar autonomous mechanisms, Yunxiu couldn't help but feel a headache over the sheer size of the monsters.

Although his goal today wasn't to launch a direct assault, there were just too many monsters...

“Let’s begin now.” Abedo took out the Swallow Bag and said to Ying, “I’ll go in first, and then let us out after Yunxiu goes in.”

Then, she patted the "^" shaped mouth of the swallowing bag, and the swallowing bag instantly grew bigger and swallowed Abedo. Then it turned back into a small and cute shape. Ying couldn't help but curiously fiddle with it a few times until she saw Yunxiu's helpless expression next to her, and then she also patted the swallowing bag and was swallowed.

"Now it's up to me." Yunxiu picked up the Swallow Bag, tied it up, and transformed into a Fire Abyss Singer radiating a strange elemental aura. Although the "Disguise Technique" couldn't change her inner nature, it was enough to fool the outer demons. As for how to disguise the strange energy on the Elemental Apostle's body...

"Spell Delay! Fire Shield!" Without hesitation, I upgraded my spellcasting and used a little super magic point to delay the casting of Fire Shield.

"You gain a layer of fire shield and 25 fire damage resistance. Any damage you take will be countered, triggering 3D20 damage for 20 minutes."

Then Yunxiu cast a flight spell on himself and flew quickly towards the interior of the Wind Dragon Ruins. He deliberately released a massive amount of fire elemental energy from his body, causing a commotion among the surrounding monsters.

A mage from the abyss flew up to observe Yunxiu's situation, uttering strange words as if questioning something. The surrounding demons also began to watch Yunxiu.

"Foolish!" Without hesitation, Yunxiu used a stealth step to dodge the abyss mage's detection, and then used the Mage's Hand to tightly bind several demons and the abyss mage.

Then, she activated her fire elemental shield, and the flames blazed brightly, instantly burning several weak monsters to death. Yunxiu manipulated her ghostly hand to choke the abyss mage's throat, preventing him from chanting the incantation to activate the shield.

He let out a piercing scream as the flames of the shield instantly ignited his robes, his flesh sizzling. He struggled desperately, but to no avail, uttering a series of Qiuqiu pleas for mercy, but Yunxiu remained unmoved!

Yunxiu slowly lifted the Abyss Mage in front of her, until the mage's screams weakened and his body began to convulse. With a thought, Yunxiu tossed the dying Abyss Mage back into the monster horde. Looking at the surrounding monster carcasses and the dying Abyss Mage, Yunxiu let out a strange laugh characteristic of Abyss Mages, then flew over.

All the demons behind her bowed in submission until Yunxiu's figure disappeared behind the wall.

"The Abyss is indeed a place that bullies the weak and fears the strong..." Yunxiu muttered to herself, continuing to maintain the posture of an Abyss Singer as she walked into the interior of the Wind Dragon Ruins.

During his lunch break, he had already studied the map of the Wind Dragon Ruins in detail. The way to enter the Wind Dragon Ruins was very peculiar. You had to climb around the outer perimeter to the top of the tower before you could enter the magic circle in the center of the tower and be teleported to the real ruins. On the tower of the Wind Dragon Ruins, you could also see the prototype of the "plowing machine".

However, when Yunxiu arrived at the place where the "prototype" should have been, the prototype had already disappeared.

"!"

Although Yunxiu had already drawn this conclusion from a lot of information after rescuing Fengshen a few days ago, she still couldn't help but feel a headache about the fact that it had come true.

According to the original storyline, this "prototype's eye" can be combined with the "tainted reversed idol". As long as the two are fused with the "vortex demon god" Oser, the mechanical demon god Oser can be born, and it even has the so-called power to "shake Sky Island".

According to Yunxiu's own understanding, this is roughly equivalent to having at least half the status of a Descendant, similar to Master René of Fontaine, whose current status is unknown, but whose power is at least close to that of the Four Kage, definitely an existence that Liyue would find difficult to deal with even if they tried their best.

“I’ve already sent all the information I had to my father through Commander Qin. He should report it to the Emperor.” Yunxiu shook her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about these things. After all, rescuing Dvalin was the most important thing right now.

Climbing one more level, they reached the magic circle. Yunxiu, now an Abyss Singer, hadn't attracted much attention along the way. The demons didn't seem to have committed much of their forces here. A few scattered Abyss Mages and demons seemed to have witnessed what happened at the foot of the tower earlier, and they kept their distance from Yunxiu, with some even adopting a respectful posture.

Upon reaching the top of the tower, Yunxiu saw the peculiar magic circle filled with blue light. The massive magic circle stretched dozens of meters through the Wind Dragon Ruins tower. Looking at this peculiar magic circle, Yunxiu couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart, and reached out to touch the peculiar spiritual light at the connection point of the magic circle.

"It doesn't seem to be teleportation, but rather a self-contained space." Yunxiu carefully sensed the magical aura within and discovered that although it was a spatial spell, the base of the magical runes did not seem to be the spatial ability of the spellcasting system, but rather the causal power associated with the prophecy system.

This is very intriguing. When Yunxiu was researching the artifact given to her by Venti, she discovered that the effect of the shield stacking was actually the use of the Wish spell to solidify the time stop, thus ensuring the spell's effectiveness. It is well known that Teyvat's space is unstable and its elemental forces are chaotic.

Yunxiu abandoned the school of incantation magic precisely because of this point, since if she opened the wrong hole, it might just be another rift into the abyss.

Since recently discovering that storage artifacts are extremely expensive, Yunxiu has been pondering this question: how exactly do mages in this world stabilize space? Is it really only possible to use some special material?

But today's discovery made him realize something: although Teyvat's research on conjuration magic was relatively backward, its research on divination magic seemed to be quite advanced!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The instability of Teyvat and the chaos of elemental forces would inevitably make the research of spatial magic extremely difficult, but on the other hand, other spells might not be so difficult!

Judging from the relevant plot, seeing through timelines and fate is almost a standard skill for big shots. Among the legendary prophetic masters that Yunxiu knows so far, there are "Prophet" Viserfenir and Nick with the code name N and Barbie Ross with the code name B in the Witch Society.

Therefore, in this world, teleportation and a series of space and time spells may need to be linked with spells like wishing to succeed.

for instance.

Generally speaking, for a normal spellcaster, the reason for a successful teleportation is: "Because the space is stable, the teleportation can be successful."

In the world of Teyvat, when you are teleporting, you must make a "fate" judgment and use divination spells to "lock" reality, which means "because I will 'definitely' arrive successfully, space will 'definitely' be stable".

"If that's the case, I think I understand why there are so few space-related items and spells in this world..."

The Prophecy school is considered by all D&D games and tabletop role-playing games to be the most difficult class to get started with in the early game because it is too weak in the early stages. On the other hand, the Conjuration school might summon a monster with a single summon, tearing a novice mage to shreds.

Combining these two factors, Teyvat itself has almost no fertile ground for the growth of low-level mages from the two major schools. However, at the high level, they are forced to delve into the spells of the School of Prophecy due to the fate of the world and the nature of the elements, because any high-level spellcasting and battle may require first glimpsing the "truth of fate".

However, mages at that level are rarely willing to develop low-level spells, which creates a vicious cycle.

“Unless there is a mage who can truly study all the spells of all professions and solve this problem from the low level…” Yunxiu couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “The meaning of coming to this world has indeed gained another one.”

Chapter 46 The King Beast Binds the Azure Dragon

While pondering how to modify the spell, she stepped into the magic circle and with a gentle touch, Yunxiu was teleported to a peculiar space.

As soon as she entered, Yunxiu sensed something was wrong. Explosive and chaotic wind elemental energy filled every corner of the space, mixed with a twisted aura of the abyss.

If the original Wind Dragon Ruins were already filled with violent wind and lightning elemental energy, making people hesitate to enter, then the Wind Dragon Ruins mixed with the abyss aura have further tainted the already violent elements with the madness of the abyss, and even a slight breath can have a great impact on people.

He patted the swallow bag and released Ying and Abedo.

The two of them had just landed when they saw the scene before them, and their faces turned solemn.

Abedo waved his hand and cast the "Imitation of Yang Hua" on the three of them. With a base value of 10D6+14 and the ring-up spellcasting effect, the three of them gained a total of 58 points. The nine-ring correction coefficient was 854, and the three of them gained a total of 49532 temporary health points.

“There are too many. I can’t control them without a magic array.” Yingze stretched out her hand, absorbed some elemental energy, and then shook her head, saying, “I’ll go ahead and see if there’s a better path.”

Yunxiu stared speechlessly at the dense array of numbers on the panel.

"Because you are in a high-concentration abyssal environment, you must undergo a DC15 constitution check every 60 seconds. If the save fails, you will suffer 5D6 potent abyssal damage, and if you succeed, it will be halved."

"Check passed! Your health has decreased by 2277 points."

"Test failed! Your health has decreased by 4048 points."

"Check passed! Your health has decreased by 1518 points."

"Check passed! Your health has decreased by 1771 points."

Thanks to the two artifacts, his constitution bonus is as high as 6 points, and his proficiency bonus is also 4 points. He only needs to roll a 6 or higher on the dice to succeed. The probability of saving the roll is not small, but even if he saves the roll, he will still suffer half the damage.

Of course, the first thing to do is deduct from the shield. Along the way, he had already maxed out his shield, with 8 stacks of Arcane Protection totaling 73632 points. With the temporary health points given by Abedo, Yunxiu had an extra 12 health points to consume. At a rate of 3 points per minute, he could deduct for an hour, and he could refresh the shield at any time.

However, under normal circumstances, even if a level 5 mage enters the game without two artifacts, a normal God's Eye will only give them a maximum of 22 points at the start. Considering that most mages will prioritize buying intelligence even if they want to buy equipment, a level 9 mage will only have a maximum of 16-17 points of constitution, with a maximum adjustment value of +3.

Without a god-tier talent like "Rock King's Blessing," which guarantees a maximum D4 Hit Dice roll every time, the average life points would be around 50, resulting in a total of about 18000 HP.

Since there are no extra skill points, after all, the starting intelligence bonus of 22 points will only reach a maximum of 4 points at this time, so there won't be much proficiency in constitution.

He must roll an 11 or 12 or higher to receive an exemption. Even if he has four or five protective spells to refresh Arcane Protection, he will be finished in less than ten minutes.

This demonstrates just how powerful the "Treasure of Freedom" truly is...

With this artifact at the start, Yunxiu's basic attributes and skill points are boosted several times over. Although the artifact given by Wendi makes him even stronger, the foundation laid by the Unfettered Talisman is the basis for Yunxiu's growth.

"Praise be to Morax!" he exclaimed, praising this true father figure once again.

A few minutes later, Ying, who was completely at ease in the abyss environment and had not been harmed, returned after exploring the area. She excitedly looked at Yunxiu and Abedo and said, "It should be a small path left by the Abyss Order and the Fools. Although it is a monster, it should not be a problem for us."

“Alright.” Abedo drew his magic sword and said, “I’ll go first, Yunxiu in the middle, and Ying at the back.”

The three of them walked into the path one after the other. The abyss generated by the power of the void became increasingly deep in color. Yunxiu also found that the further they went in, the more difficult it became to determine the DC constitution for the abyss damage. The outer layer required a DC constitution of 15, and after walking for less than 5 minutes, a DC constitution of 16 was required. When they finally saw the shimmering blue light and felt the huge energy fluctuations emanating from the violent elemental power, the constitution determination already required DC 18.

Yunxiu's own exemption from judgment is becoming increasingly difficult, requiring a reduction of more than 3000 shield points and temporary health points almost every minute.

The only good news is that Yunxiu, who has been maintaining the detection magic, has indeed not discovered any other dangers besides the pollution.

In the center of the Wind Dragon Ruins is a platform supported by several huge pillars. There used to be a deep hole protruding into the center of the platform, which was where Dvalin rested. Now it is occupied by a huge spirit cocoon. The surrounding walls are covered with strange purple tumors and strange "abyssal force tubes". Strange dark purple energy and cyan gold energy are spreading on the spirit cocoon and they are intertwined. In the hazy light, you can see the giant dragon inside the spirit cocoon writhing and struggling.

The elemental energies on the spirit cocoon intertwined, with the cyan-gold energy still powerful and dominant, but it was clear that the dark purple abyssal energy had begun to seep in.

Yunxiu hadn't seen such a huge spirit cocoon before from her spiritual power. A few days ago, after Wendy woke up, she also helped Dvalin once. It seems that this spirit cocoon was activated by Wendy's help.

But looking at the densely packed demons beneath the spirit cocoon, and even a few giant beast-like hunting dogs gleaming with a deep, dark light, Yunxiu realized that she had indeed underestimated the difficulty of the rescue.

Especially the largest one in the middle, even Aberdo's expression changed when he saw it!

"Now I finally understand why there aren't many magical beasts outside. This one is enough." Yunxiu had a headache. The giant beast in front of her was none other than the Golden King Beast, the world boss that could only be seen in Inazuma in the Genshin Impact game!

"You have activated the Unfettered Codex. Your current dice roll is forcibly fixed at 20. Your priority for this roll is 20 + 8 + 4 = 32. Check passed!"

[World-Devouring Golden King Beast] A demonic beast capable of eroding the boundaries of the world, which once ravaged the continent...
