"What?"
The sudden movement made the Abyss Mages present freeze in place. Although it was just a seemingly simple act of taking out Mora, for some unknown reason, the moment they saw this, an extremely terrifying chill suddenly spread from the depths of their hearts.
This strong sense of crisis felt as if their souls were trembling, a gaze coming directly from death itself.
"Are... are you still planning to do such useless work even when death is at your doorstep?"
"Dvalin, kill them!"
Although they didn't know what was happening, under this aura of death, the Abyss Mages present almost instinctively made the most accurate choice, directly ordering Dvalin to attack.
"Roar~"
A furious dragon's roar suddenly surged, and chaotic Anemo energy continuously crashed towards Starsnatch Cliff. Accompanied by Stormterror's roar, a terrifying energy storm began to rapidly gather in Dvalin's mouth, visible to the naked eye.
"Ehe..."
Barbatos was startled. Seeing this familiar action from his former Dependents, he quickly warned,
"Dvalin is about to use his breath attack."
"Should we... run first?"
"You tone-deaf bard, can't you act a little more like a god!"
Hearing Barbatos wanting to flee at the drop of a hat,
Paimon stomped her feet in the air, huffing and puffing, clearly displeased with Barbatos's actions.
"You actually do something useful!"
"Kai..."
Jean's gaze sharpened as she saw the rapidly gathering Anemo energy.
She instinctively stepped in front of Kai.
However, as soon as she made this move, Kai stopped her with a raised hand, a reassuring smile on his usually gentle face.
"Don't worry, Dvalin's attack..."
"...won't be released."
Kai said seriously, rubbing the coin in his hand.
He quietly tossed it into the sky.
"Hmm?"
Then... under the incredulous gazes of the Ice Abyss Mages, terrifying electric light suddenly flashed.
With an almost impossible-to-ignore momentum, it transformed into countless terrifying lightning dragons, continuously emerging from Kai.
If, originally, when dealing with Kai, these Abyss Mages, relying on their aerial advantage, could leisurely hide behind Dvalin, curious about what methods the other party could use to attack, then the moment these terrifying electric arcs, as numerous as a spider web, appeared, almost all the Ice Abyss Mages felt their scalps tingle and instinctively wanted to flee.
"Lightning... You have a Vision of Electro!"
Unfortunately, for this question, Kai no longer needed to answer.
The Mora tossed into the sky continuously flipped.
As the light faded, it slowly descended.
Kai gazed at the Abyss Mages not far away.
Intense electric arcs spread throughout his body, and he quietly raised his hand.
The coin landed perfectly between his fingers, and under the flickering electric arcs, it presented a scene of a reaper's harvest.
"Then..."
Kai stepped forward, shielding Jean.
He directly faced Dvalin, who was condensing Anemo energy, as intense voltage enveloped the Mora through his arm.
As Kai's words fell, it shot out like a cannonball.
It surged forth with the power of thunder.
"This move..."
"...will finish you!"
"Boom!"
The flashing lightning transformed into an unavoidable energy impact, enveloping the Mora and almost completely covering everything in front of it.
The clear sky erupted with terrifying thunder, like wrath descending from the heavens, intent on destroying everything in the world.
At this moment... the few Abyss Mages barely had a chance to dodge. The terrifying voltage easily tore through their fragile Ice Elemental shields.
It directly blasted the figures hiding within into their most primitive ashes.
"Roar~"
As if sensing the arrival of this terrifying energy, even before Kai launched his attack, Dvalin had already given up on using his breath attack.
His massive body, propelled by the flapping of his huge wings, quickly flew high into the sky, barely dodging the lightning attack.
However, even so, the aftershocks of the jumping lightning still inevitably affected Dvalin, causing him to let out a series of pained roars.
His crimson dragon eyes glanced at Kai with fear, then he flapped his wings and flew directly into the sky with his massive body.
"Eh... Kai."
"Is Dvalin running away?"
Paimon had been watching the battle the entire time. Although the combined forces of Stormterror and the Abyss Mages were indeed somewhat indescribably terrifying, hiding behind Kai seemed to dispel all fear, immediately giving Paimon a great sense of security.
Noticing Dvalin's movement, she quickly pointed to the sky, her tone full of urgency.
"It's alright, let Dvalin leave first."
The flickering electric arcs gradually dissipated.
After Dvalin flapped his wings and left, the chaotic Anemo energy near Starsnatch Cliff finally corrected itself.
Raising his hand and watching Dvalin's figure gradually disappear, Kai sighed, a helpless smile on his face.
"After all, Dvalin has just been corrupted by the Abyss's power and is in a state of extreme confusion, and he was also startled by my attack."
"In this situation, even if you forcefully keep him here..."
"...it will only make things worse."
The purpose of everyone's outing this time was to purify Stormterror with the Holy Lyre der Himmel and bring him back to Mondstadt.
If Dvalin were in a normal state, even after experiencing all this, with Barbatos's identity as the God of Anemo, it wouldn't be impossible to communicate with him, or even to move him.
But the problem was that Dvalin at this moment clearly had no connection to the word 'normal state'.
Under the corruption of the Abyss's power, his entire will was almost in a state of chaos, and after being affected by the previous attack, basically, escaping this place had become his only remaining thought. In such a situation, to still want to keep the other party and communicate with him, at least Kai felt that... he simply wouldn't be able to do it.
"Then... then we just let Dvalin leave like that?"
Although the reasoning was sound, after finally finding Dvalin, only to let him leave so easily, Paimon clearly felt a bit dejected.
"Of course, but it doesn't matter if he leaves."
"We can just go find him again after he calms down."
Saying that, Kai turned around and looked at the other party.
He smiled meaningfully: "Isn't that right, Lord Barbatos?"
