That fellow named Nathan was probably the Fatui's mole within the Rebel Army. Once he was found, subsequent actions would be much easier.
Thinking of this, Durandal used her power to create a small bird and sent it to deliver this note to Lumine, who was currently with the Rebel Army. She believed that after reading this, Lumine would know how to proceed.
Having done all this, Durandal and Shenhe looked at the door in front of them. This was the last obstacle to the deepest part. Once inside, they would know the situation within.
Passing through this door required some mechanisms, but Durandal wouldn't waste time looking for those things. She clenched her fist and punched the door.
Her slender hand easily smashed through the door in front of her. The Fatui vanguard, who were leisurely guarding inside, had not anticipated the door being blown away.
One Fatui vanguard was thus sent flying against the wall by the incoming door, instantly falling unconscious.
The others realized there was an intrusion, picked up their weapons, and prepared to resist, but Shenhe's puppet flew over, freezing them all with its powerful Cryo Element.
Durandal held Shenhe's hand and walked past these Fatui members. As they passed, cracks appeared on the frozen Fatui, which then shattered into pieces on the ground.
The blocking Fatui vanguard were thus easily defeated. Durandal and Shenhe smoothly entered the interior, seeing the panicking Balladeer looking at her warily.
"We meet again, Balladeer. Last time you were very rude, leaving without even a greeting. I was very angry, and this time I won't let you escape so easily."
"Is that so? Then I'd like to see how you plan to keep me here."
Balladeer was panicking. He knew very well that if Durandal truly wanted to keep him, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
But at a time like this, he absolutely couldn't lose his momentum. So what if he wasn't Durandal's opponent? At least in terms of aura, he couldn't lose, otherwise, he'd be half-defeated before even starting.
Still quite stubborn, is he? Does he think I can't move freely in this confined space? Or does he have some other secret weapon here?
No matter what, today he will surely be captured by me, then brought to Raiden Ei to receive her judgment.
Just as she was about to take out her great scythe, Shenhe suddenly stepped forward, blocking Durandal.
"Can I try, Durandal?"
"You want to fight him?" Shenhe nodded.
She could see that Balladeer was very strong, but she just needed such a strong opponent to test her growth during this period.
She didn't want to always be protected by Durandal. She also wanted to stand by Durandal's side, to become her helper, to become her reliance.
Durandal thought for a moment, then finally agreed to Shenhe's request. There was nothing wrong with letting her fight Balladeer. After all, she was right there, and even if something happened, she could intervene in time to help.
Balladeer, who had been panicking, saw Shenhe wanting to challenge him, and his temper flared up instantly.
He felt insulted. Even if he wasn't Durandal's opponent, did everyone think they could just step on him? Did they really think he was easy to bully?
No matter what he would eventually become, he was definitely going to avenge Shenhe's underestimation of him. He would make this woman pay for her contempt!
Shenhe, holding calamitys bane, stepped forward. She casually conjured a talisman with her right hand and waved it forcefully. A formation appeared in the room, and at the same time, her puppet also appeared beside her.
Balladeer's eyes lit up with a light symbolizing the Electro Element. The two different elemental forces of Cryo Element and Electro Element rapidly increased in the room.
After a brief observation, Shenhe immediately rushed out, thrusting the calamitys bane in her hand towards Balladeer. This attack was a feint, and Balladeer easily blocked it.
As he prepared to counterattack, the puppet flew out from behind him, raising its fist and smashing it heavily towards Balladeer's head.
Seeing this, Balladeer dodged to the side, his hand movements not stopping. He released two powerful bolts of lightning towards Shenhe and the puppet.
The puppet and Shenhe easily dodged Balladeer's attacks with a slight twist of their bodies. Shenhe glanced at Durandal, saw her nod, and her pupils flashed.
The puppet's body began to change. What was originally just a clone condensed through sorcery gradually transformed into Shenhe's appearance, and at the same time, a calamitys bane also appeared in its hand, making it impossible to distinguish which was the true body for a moment.
Seeing this, Balladeer's expression immediately became serious. He suddenly realized that this human in front of him, besides having a big mouth, actually had some real skills.
