Chapter 111 - A Familiar Monster

While Kai and Lumine were talking.

The area where the Anemo Hypostasis was located was already in sight.

In fact, as for when this area appeared.

And who created it, let alone Kai.

Even the Anemo Hypostasis itself couldn't say.

But what could be known was that it was, after all, related to the Archon War.

"So..."

"How many legacies did the Archon War of ancient times leave behind?"

Thinking carefully.

The known ruins in Teyvat, or certain precious treasures.

Seem to have all been passed down from the distant Archon War period.

Even the scattered Artifacts and Statues of The Seven were like this.

In other words, compared to the Archon period, has the civilization level of Teyvat in this era actually regressed?

Otherwise, it wouldn't be unable to develop the ability to replicate Artifacts to this day, right?

"Never mind, don't bother with these historical matters."

Kai sighed slightly.

Although he was indeed quite curious about these things.

He wouldn't waste time pursuing them now.

If he really wanted to research them, he would wait until he picked up Jean from work.

And take some time to delve into the library.

To be honest... the number of books collected in Mondstadt City's library.

Even in Teyvat, it was one of the few.

Even if Kai had spent several years in the library.

He had only read a small portion of the books within.

"Mr. Kai, are we going to start fighting now?"

While Kai was deep in thought.

Lumine, who had been relatively calm, now showed a very serious expression.

The one-handed sword she carried was held in her hand.

Staring at the Anemo Hypostasis, which hadn't been awakened yet, her light brown eyes were full of caution.

Although the battle hadn't begun... just facing this Anemo Hypostasis.

Lumine's heart had already sensed an extremely strong sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis might not be as strong as that from Dvalin, the Dragon of the East.

But it was definitely not something she could deal with.

Or rather... even when fighting those Hilichurl brutes.

She had never experienced such an immense pressure.

"This is definitely a terrifying enemy!"

Lumine's mind quickly flashed with this thought.

"Ah..."

"It should be about time."

Lumine's voice quickly pulled Kai back to reality.

Hearing her question, Kai nodded slightly.

He didn't delay much on this.

"Then I'll go say hello to you and Beth."

"You get a feel for it, and be ready to fight at any moment."

"Huh?"

Before Lumine could understand what that meant.

The next second, as the voice fell.

Kai had already raised his hand.

The originally unremarkable space suddenly showed an extremely faint ripple.

It was like a calm surface of water suddenly rippling.

Just a moment later... a treasure radiating a faint glow was already summoned.

Then, with a wave of his hand, it directly smashed towards the Anemo Hypostasis in the center of the field with an undeniable, terrifying speed.

"Wake up, time to work!"

"Bang~"

A massive surge of energy, accompanying the thrown treasure, suddenly rippled out, so powerful it was impossible to resist...

Under Lumine's stunned gaze, the sleeping Anemo Hypostasis was violently knocked away, and even the Anemo elements in the air seemed to solidify.

Although it wasn't the first time Lumine had witnessed Kai's strength, even so, this terrifying scene before her still left an indelible impression on him.

Even the Anemo Hypostasis was directly knocked away by a single sword strike.

This power is too terrifying!

If there were enemies of Mr. Kai in this world, then those so-called enemies would probably be the unluckiest group of people in this world.

"Who... is it~"

The immense power, while striking the Anemo Hypostasis, naturally also succeeded in waking it.

The Anemo elements in the air, which had solidified due to that sword strike, almost became active again with the Anemo Hypostasis's revival.

Hearing such a deep, terrifying voice,

Lumine instinctively took a few steps forward.

His gaze was fixed on the Anemo Hypostasis, which was gradually stretching its body in the field.

The already terrifying oppressive feeling spread out even more unbridled at this moment.

It was terrifying to the point of making one's scalp tingle.

"Mr. Kai, please be careful~"

Seeing Kai just walk straight over after the opponent woke up, even though he knew his strength could no longer be measured by ordinary standards, at this moment... Lumine still instinctively called out a reminder, his tone full of tension.

"Don't worry."

"Didn't I tell you; Beth and I are quite familiar with each other."

Kai showed a calm smile.

He waved to Lumine behind him and walked towards the opponent very naturally.

At this moment... accompanied by the condensation of powerful Anemo elements, the Anemo Hypostasis, Beth, had fully revived.

Terrifying gales tore through the entire field... it was a fierce storm far exceeding Starsnatch Cliff, not even inferior to the power Dvalin had created in Mondstadt back then.

Although the area was confined only to this field, its power level was already not to be underestimated.

"Who is it~"

The terrifying voice sounded again.

The heavy, hoarse call was like the lingering presence of gods and demons from a thousand years ago.

It made one's heart tremble.

Kai narrowed his eyes and walked to within a few meters before gradually stopping.

Lumine, not far away, was full of tension and had even planned to immediately raise his weapon and rush to help him as soon as the battle began.

Kai's voice finally sounded.

"I say, Beth..."

"Have your eyes gotten so bad after not seeing me for so long?"

"Didn't you notice I'm right in front of you?"

"Hmm?"

The newly awakened Anemo Hypostasis clearly hadn't carefully surveyed its surroundings.

That threatening remark was originally just a pure instinctive warning.

Now hearing Kai's voice,

it subconsciously looked in the direction of the source, and upon seeing the figure who had stepped into the field.

And were only a few meters away from it.

If the Anemo Hypostasis originally seemed quite terrifying in Lumine's eyes, then upon seeing Kai, it was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Its massive form seemed to tremble violently.

Its voice was filled with an unspeakable fear.

"It's... it's you!??"

"You devil!"

"Why are you here?"
