At the port below Romaritime Harbor, seeing Ayin, who bore the face of the Grand Sage, appear before her, truly gave this beautiful young girl of only five hundred years a huge fright.
She reflexively pulled out her Dull Blade and slashed at him.
Lumine first channeled the Electro element, raised her leg to deliver a left front kick followed by a right roundhouse kick, and then, flipping her small hand, used her blade, coated in the Dendro element, to deliver a fierce jump slash that dealt double DMG.
Catalyze~
As the two faint characters rose above Ayin’s head, it immediately made his head feel a bit itchy, as if he were about to grow a brain.
Although he was a soul consciousness entity and immune to all DMG, the negative effects caused by the underlying logic of the world still affected him more or less.
“Muda~ Muda~, such weak attacks are ineffective against me!” Seeing that Lumine’s sneak attack hadn’t caused even the slightest ripple, Ayin couldn’t help but strike a smug pose, teasing her in a Jo-esque manner, and took the opportunity to make a face at Paimon, who was not far away.
This grimace, made while wearing the expression of the Grand Sage, was no less terrifying than a little ghost of Hu Tao popping out by one’s bedside in the middle of the night, almost scaring Paimon into fainting on the spot.
“Hey, why didn’t the Traveler’s attack work!”
Hiding to the side, Paimon first got goosebumps, then mumbled in confusion.
In his view, although his Traveler did not currently possess all Elemental Power, the combat and adventure experience gained from traveling through four nations was solid and substantial.
How could she possibly fail to defeat even a powerless Grand Sage!
Moreover, he and Lumine had just left Sumeru, and the Grand Sage should still be locked up in prison in Sumeru.
How could he have slipped into Fontaine so suddenly and become so powerful?
‘Wait!
The Traveler said this guy is the Grand Sage!
Is he that Sinner from Sumeru who imprisoned the gods?
How did he come to Fontaine!’ Furina, on the high platform in the distance, saw the scene before her and took a step back in fear.
He hadn’t expected that just two days after receiving news of the Grand Sage of Sumeru’s execution, he would encounter him here, and he seemed to have become even stronger!
Based on his personality, he couldn’t have come to Fontaine to imprison him, could he!!
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but swallow subconsciously.
An urge to quickly escape back to Palais Mermonia to find his guardians welled up in his heart, but remembering that he was the public god of Fontaine and had his own mission…
“No, you are not the Grand Sage.
If the Grand Sage had this kind of power back then, we would never have been able to defeat him…
If he had this ability, he wouldn’t even have needed to imprison the gods!” Just as Furina was hesitating, Lumine’s voice abruptly pulled his thoughts back.
“Oh, you’ve discovered it, not bad,” seeing that Lumine had realized, Ayin didn’t explain anything, but instead admitted it generously.
He walked slowly to Lumine, ignored her vigilant expression, and instead used his index and middle fingers to clamp the weapon in her hand, then applied a little force to his wrist and easily snatched her weapon away.
“A low-life like the Grand Sage wouldn’t even be able to get through the tavern door where we’re from.
As for who I am…
you can call me the Little Fool.” As Ayin spoke, he secretly channeled his power, and within a few moves, he kneaded the Dull Blade in Lumine’s hand into a state similar to dough.
Immediately after, he snapped his fingers, and the Dull Blade, which was in a dough state, was made out of thin air into a Fool mask that looked eighty percent like a firework mask, except it was shaped like a kitten with some golden stripes embellished in the middle.
“Li…
Little Fool?” Lumine looked at the weapon that had accompanied her through four nations being kneaded into a mask by this guy like dough, and couldn’t help but be shocked.
Although the Dull Blade was a common street-stall weapon, this one in her hand had long been reborn after being contaminated with her aura and attached with four elements for a long time.
It could be said that the comprehensive strength of the Dull Blade in her hand could rival ordinary five-star weapons!
“That’s right, as that crazy girl puts it, the Fool has a thousand faces, playing in the world, so it’s no surprise that the Little Fool becomes the Grand Sage.”
“Besides, compared to the Grand Sage, my personality is clearly much kinder, isn’t it?
Come, here is a gift for our first meeting, no need to thank me.”
Watching Lumine’s dumbfounded reaction gave Ayin’s mischievous heart great satisfaction.
He first raised his hand to weigh the mask he had just made, then flicked it lightly.
A powerful suction force appeared out of thin air from the surface of the mask, and before Lumine could react, it stuck directly to her face.
“Wuwu…” Feeling the strange touch, she subconsciously raised her hand to take off the mask on her face.
Then she looked around, but the original Grand Sage had long since disappeared.
If it weren’t for the mask she had just taken off in her hand, she would have almost thought the experience just now was a terrible nightmare.
“Traveler, are you looking for that weirdo?
He disappeared the second after he put the mask on you.” Just as Lumine was frowning and pondering while looking at the mask, Paimon, who had sensed that the danger had passed, cautiously flew out from behind a stone pillar in the distance and explained softly.
“Disappeared…
Then Paimon, did you see which way he ran?” After listening to Paimon’s explanation, Lumine subconsciously thought that Ayin had escaped using some kind of trick, so she hurriedly asked.
“I don’t think she saw, because that weirdo disappeared out of thin air, just like a magic trick where a person disappears.
Whoosh, a flash of red light, and the person vanished into thin air…
But it’s a pity, what he used wasn’t a magic trick, but rather like magic.” Before Paimon could answer, a man wearing a black top hat and holding a cat-eared girl walked over slowly, speaking with a tone of great interest.
“Magic, how can you be sure…
wait, no, who are you?” Paimon tilted his head upon seeing this, asking somewhat dizzily.
Clearly, today’s encounters were a bit too advanced for a mascot with a combat power roughly equal to one-fifth of a wild boar.
“Hello, my name is Lyney, and she is my sister Lynette.
As for why I can be sure that the weirdo didn’t rely on any deceptive means to escape…
because my profession is a magician.” Seeing Paimon ask, Lyney smiled and introduced himself.
Just as everyone was discussing and communicating at Romaritime Harbor, our culprit had already teleported to the desert of Sumeru.
It must be said that compared to the game, the real Teyvat was significantly larger than he knew.
With him as a soul body now, he could only move the distance between Romaritime Harbor and the desert by teleporting at full power, exhausting his energy.
Fortunately, he discovered that his soul body not only had collision volume but could also convert food into energy by eating.
This instantly turned him into a scavenger, frantically looting the few edible specialties in the desert…
