Lin Qiu thought, good thing I took Ying to Fontaine in advance, now Ying can defeat Rosalyne.
"Signora!" Tartaglia was slightly annoyed, he said he wouldn't interfere!
Rosalyne calmly replied, "What's the rush? I won't attack Qiu Cheng. It's fine if I deal with this Traveler, right?"
As she spoke, Rosalyne's ice arrow had already flown towards Lumine.
Ying waved her small hand, and a rock spike collided with the ice arrow, both elemental creations shattering simultaneously.
"Oh? Interesting." Rosalyne found this Traveler to be even more formidable than what was written in the books.
Seeing that Rosalyne's target was herself, Ying moved away from Lin Qiu a bit, preventing Lin Qiu from being affected by the attack.
"I'll kite her; Tartaglia is yours."
As Lumine spoke, she moved her position while continuously attacking Rosalyne with water guns, leaving Rosalyne with no time to spare for anything else.
Tartaglia, seeing that the two of them had already started fighting, was also itching for a fight, looking at Lin Qiu with full battle intent.
"Honestly, partner, if you were the Rock God, I might be even more excited!"
"But it doesn't matter, a battle with the Prophet will also be very interesting."
Knowing that Lin Qiu was not the Rock God, Tartaglia did not immediately use Devil King Armed.
He planned to conserve some stamina first, to test Lin Qiu's strength and fighting style.
Tartaglia took out his bow, and three water arrows shot out rapidly.
The flying speed of the water arrows was much faster than in the game, but fortunately, Lin Qiu was prepared.
A familiar water dragon hovered in front of Lin Qiu, blocking these three attacks.
As a result, Tartaglia took advantage of the water dragon blocking Lin Qiu's vision, water waves rippled under his feet, and he lunged past Lin Qiu's side, arriving at Lin Qiu's rear-side.
Tartaglia, having bypassed the water dragon and closed the distance, aimed the longbow in his hand at Lin Qiu.
One Arrow Stop Water!
A swift water arrow shot straight towards the back of Lin Qiu's head. At this angle, with such a swift attack, Lin Qiu clearly had no time to dodge.
Water splashed everywhere, and when the water settled, a water dragon stared intently at Tartaglia.
Lin Qiu indeed had no time to dodge, but his element mastery was not for nothing. If I can't dodge, my dragon can help me.
"As expected of the Prophet, did you anticipate this move too?" Tartaglia exclaimed.
To be able to block such a fast attack, it seems the opponent understands my fighting style very well.
Lin Qiu also couldn't help but sigh, he was indeed not as intelligent in combat as Tartaglia, with too many loopholes in his defense. Fortunately, my stats are high.
"Just a superior skill," Lin Qiu said.
Tartaglia wanted to say something more, but his thoughts were interrupted by Paimon's cheering.
Paimon hid in a pile of Mora, peeking out his head to observe the two battlefields, continuously shouting encouragement.
"Ah, what a noisy little fellow." Tartaglia glanced at Paimon.
"Let's continue," Tartaglia said, and the elemental power in his hand began to condense.
Seeing Tartaglia condense such a large amount of elemental power, Lin Qiu understood that he was going to use the whale.
"Be careful not to break anything here, it's not cheap to fix," Lin Qiu reminded.
"Don't worry, Northland Bank will compensate," Tartaglia said, his attack already fully charged.
A colossal Hydro element whale leaped out of the 'water'. This attack, regardless of its power, was spectacular enough in its display.
Little Paimon immediately shrunk his head and hid.
With such a huge commotion, even Rosalyne and Lumine temporarily stopped their actions and looked over.
Lumine wanted to help, but she was entangled by Rosalyne.
Speaking of which, their fight was also very intense, with only Frozen ice spears and rock pillars/spikes surrounding them.
At this moment, Lumine's dawn sword, imbued with Hydro element power, was tightly entangled by Rosalyne's whip, the sword and whip Frozen together.
"Good, as long as they compensate." Lin Qiu waved two fingers, and the water dragon rapidly expanded, actually reaching the same size as the whale.
The water dragon wrapped around the whale, colliding head-on with it to stop its momentum, then fiercely slammed the whale onto the ground.
The earth cracked, the whale turned into Hydro element and vanished without a trace, and the water dragon also returned to its original size.
"See, I told you to be careful, it would break," Lin Qiu said, spreading his hands.
..." Tartaglia was speechless. This was clearly you doing the destruction, so shouldn't they come to you for compensation?
Seeing that Lin Qiu was fine, Lumine also breathed a sigh of relief. With her right hand's dawn sword entangled, she used her left hand to condense a 'Rasengan' and attacked Rosalyne.
Rosalyne shattered the ice, jumped back out of Lumine's attack range, and lashed out with her whip.
Ying, on the other hand, used the recoil from the wind blade in her hand to dodge backward, avoiding the blow, and the two entered a stalemate again.
"Alright, the warm-up ends here." Tartaglia also generally understood Lin Qiu's fighting style; it was basically all reliant on the dragon.
Tartaglia slowly approached Lin Qiu, water flowing around him.
"Let's get down to business."
The scarf behind Tartaglia surged with Electro element power, and he put on his mask.
The longbow in his hand was put away, and two Electro blades condensed in his hands.
Tartaglia looked at Lin Qiu, a smile hanging on his lips beneath the mask, as if he wanted to say something.
"Let me guess, are you trying to say, 'The bow is your least proficient weapon, and now you're finally getting serious'?" Lin Qiu said in advance.
..." Tartaglia fell silent.
Why do you always steal other people's lines, kid? I haven't been able to say a few proper sentences when I'm with you!
With such a cool transformation scene, can't you let me finish my lines!?
Tartaglia charged directly at Lin Qiu, swinging the Electro blades in his hands. Two flashes of lightning passed, directly cutting Lin Qiu's water dragon in half.
At the same time, he combined the two Electro blades into an Electro spear and threw it at Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu raised his hand to condense a water shield, intending to block the attack, but to his surprise, the Electro spear suddenly disappeared, startling Lin Qiu.
Tartaglia appeared behind Lin Qiu, swinging his Electro blade, striking behind Lin Qiu.
'Zzzzt~', the sound of electricity rang out.
The Lin Qiu who was struck actually turned into a puddle of water, dripping onto the ground.
The water dragon reformed, forcing Tartaglia back.
"Amazing." Lin Qiu exclaimed, fighting Tartaglia indeed allowed Lin Qiu to gain a lot of experience.
He truly didn't react to that last attack, but thankfully he was cautious enough to use a water mimicry clone and water refraction from the start.
Lin Qiu's true standing position was actually slightly off from the position Tartaglia saw.
"Hmm? You anticipated this too?" Tartaglia was slightly surprised. He thought Lin Qiu had even anticipated this, and thus set up a defense in advance.
What Tartaglia used wasn't some skill; he just thought of it temporarily during the battle.
He himself hadn't thought much about it, a fighting style he came up with on the fly. If Lin Qiu could anticipate even this, then Lin Qiu was truly terrifying; other Prophets weren't this detailed.
However, this did not make Tartaglia lose his fighting spirit; on the contrary, it made Tartaglia even more thrilled.
"There's some deviation from what I saw..." Tartaglia abandoned what he saw with his eyes and focused more on elemental detection.
"Here!" Tartaglia noticed Lin Qiu's position.
An empty space beside Lin Qiu suddenly had Electro rings appearing, encircling it.
A bolt of lightning struck down, Lin Qiu blocked it with a water shield, and reluctantly revealed his figure.
Since he had already been discovered by Tartaglia, there was no need to continue wasting elemental power on these small tricks.

But fighting him is truly exhilarating. I really want to fight him again, betting my life again wouldn't
