Genshin Impact: I'm The Envoy of Snezhnaya
Chapter 434: Bai Luo Is Not Happy
Crash—!
Watching Bai Luo ride the wind away, Dvalin made a sharp turn and beat his wings as he gave chase.
However, one of his claws inevitably slammed into the wall of the Goth Grand Hotel.
His razor-sharp talons tore a massive gash into the building.
Although the doors and windows had all been reinforced, such precautions were meaningless against a force like Dvalin's.
Every window in the entire building shattered from the impact.
The room where Bai Luo had been moments earlier suffered the most damage.
Dvalin's claw had even ripped away an entire section of the wall.
Fortunately, Jianna had followed Bai Luo's warning and hidden somewhere safe beforehand.
At that moment, she was clutching a pigeon that looked just as bewildered as she did, standing there completely at a loss.
. . .
How skilled was Bai Luo?
Before the Lion of Light taught him that passive skill, his direct combat ability in the Hei Class was only enough to bully ordinary strong opponents.
Against true experts, he would still need to switch to Battousai or the Black-Clad Swordsman.
However, one thing could not be denied:
When operating as "Hei," Bai Luo's agility was practically maxed out.
Casually removing the triangular clasp from the end of his dagger, he reattached the weapon to his waist.
Using the steel wire connected to that clasp, combined with the enhanced jumping ability granted by One-Winged Angel, Bai Luo continuously swung and leapt across Mondstadt.
Could Bai Luo not defeat Dvalin?
Of course not.
Even at the Sky Dragon's peak condition, Bai Luo was confident enough to challenge him head-on.
Not to mention that the current Dvalin was suffering from a whole collection of debuffs.
To put it simply, Bai Luo only needed to switch his dagger into a greatsword and smack Dvalin across the forehead, then every problem would cease to be a problem.
After all, anything with a head could generally be taken down in a single hit.
Certain individuals excluded.
But there was a problem.
Bai Luo was extremely annoyed.
Originally, all he had to do was sit in his room, drink grape juice, and wait for this farce to end.
Yet Jean had pointed Dvalin straight at him.
The damage to the Goth Grand Hotel wasn't worth mentioning.
After all, the repair costs would undoubtedly be paid by Pantalone anyway.
Since Jean had dumped this burden onto him, Bai Luo was determined not to disappoint her.
So he changed directions and sprinted toward another building.
"Wait..."
Jean, who had been watching what appeared to be a domestic dispute between the "Anemo Archon" and Dvalin, suddenly paled.
If she wasn't mistaken, the direction Bai Luo was heading was—
BOOM—!
"BARBATOS!!!"
Flapping his wings, Dvalin landed atop the largest building in Mondstadt besides the Cathedral of Favonius.
At the same time, one of his claws slammed down viciously.
The force shattered every pane of glass in the structure.
Chunks of brick crashed to the ground.
Numerous Knights of Favonius clerks came running out of the building, wailing in panic.
Even the stone pillars at the entrance developed multiple cracks from the impact.
That's right.
The building Bai Luo had chosen as his landing spot was none other than the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
"Freeze!"
Ice condensed into a barrier, blocking the falling debris.
It also saved many of the people fleeing from the headquarters.
Kaeya, who had been observing from the shadows, finally couldn't sit still any longer and made his move.
Yet when he looked at the Ausbilder confronting Dvalin atop the roof of the Knights' headquarters, a headache immediately began to form.
Should he try to mediate?
The two combatants would probably just decide he was a new target.
But letting them continue fighting wasn't an option either.
The headquarters could be rebuilt.
However, the library inside contained countless precious books.
Kaeya could only hope that Lisa would manage to protect those treasures, otherwise, Mondstadt's losses would be impossible to calculate.
"Who is that person?"
Looking at the black-clad man battling the dragon around the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Lumine comforted Paimon while turning to Jean beside her.
If she wasn't mistaken, this woman who called herself Jean seemed to know him.
"Anatoly, also known as Bai Luo. He is one of the Twelve Harbingers of the Fatui," Jean's tone carried a hint of helplessness as she introduced him.
But a moment later, she froze.
Turning her attention back to Lumine, she asked, "You don't know him?"
In Jean's view, the Ausbilder had specifically returned to Mondstadt and even arranged for wanted notices to be posted in search of her. That should mean the blonde traveler knew him.
So why would she ask such a question?
"I don't know him."
Lumine first shook her head, then glanced at Paimon beside her.
After hesitating for a moment, she added uncertainly, "Maybe Paimon does?"
But the instant those words left her mouth, Paimon vehemently objected.
"Waaah! Paimon absolutely does not want to know someone that scary!"
Before meeting Bai Luo, roasted pork had been the food Paimon dreamed of eating.
But now, among all her favorite foods, Slimes ranked at the very top.
Because only that slippery, gooey texture could make her forget the horrifying taste associated with roasted pork.
"If you don't know him, then why is he looking for you?" Jean asked in confusion.
And from that single question, Lumine learned something that caused her pupils to contract.
"You mean... the missing-person notices around the city were put up by him?"
"That's right. He came to Mondstadt specifically to ask us to help find you."
. . .
The Abyss's influence over Dvalin was growing stronger and stronger.
The dragon's once-azure eyes were now stained with the aura of the Abyss.
The poisonous blood and the Abyssal power tormenting him had pushed him to the brink of suffering.
That was also one of the reasons he was so desperate to find Barbatos.
Because he knew that only Barbatos could free him from the agony caused by the Abyss and the tainted blood.
For now, when facing a descendant of the Gunnhildr clan, he could still maintain a measure of rationality.
But what about later?
He didn't know whether, the next time he came to Mondstadt, that descendant of Gunnhildr would still be able to awaken his senses.
"Save me... or kill me... Barbatos!"
His sharp claws dug into the walls of the Knights of Favonius headquarters as Dvalin used his own head as a weapon, slamming it viciously toward Bai Luo.
Several more cracks spread across the building's walls.
He didn't care whether he could actually hit Bai Luo, nor did he care if Bai Luo killed him in return.
This seemingly suicidal fighting style was, in reality, Dvalin completely exposing his own weakness to his opponent.
He still vividly remembered the strike Bai Luo had landed on his head the last time they met.
As long as Bai Luo used that technique again, Dvalin would be entirely at his mercy.
At that point, whether Bai Luo chose to save him or kill him, Dvalin would accept either outcome without regret.
Because compared to becoming a weapon of war for the Abyss… He would rather die here and now.
