Chapter 9
"Barbatos is sure keen on protecting his statue." Jason flew high into the sky, thinking inwardly.
The mysterious power that deflected the storm from hitting the statue before was undoubtedly the work of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, hidden in the dark.
Jason directly glided into a tornado that was carrying Lumine.
If ordinary people enter such a tornado, they will be shredded into pieces by the wind current.
But both Jason and Lumine are elemental wind users. So, both of them can barely protect themselves under such circumstances.
The black tornado blew them directly above the clouds.
The dark sky and the previous earth... The gap between them made their eyes a little uncomfortable for a while. They waited for some time to adjust their vision.
After unfolding the wings of the wind glider, they slowly ascended toward the clouds.
"Jason, why did you rush in?" Lumine looked at him with her bright gold eyes.
In the sky, she saw how Jason unfolded the wings of the wind glider and took the initiative to head toward her into the tornado.
"I'm afraid of something bad happening to you."
Jason truthfully said and added, "Didn't I remind you to pay more attention to safety?"
Lumine's face was slightly red, "I was a little stunned before and didn't have to run away."
Jason was about to speak when suddenly his expression became serious.
"It's coming!"
He immediately stretched out his hands around Lumine's waist and rolled over mid-air.
The upper part of the Stormterror brushed past them, its colossal body flying away. Due to the strong wind current brought by the dragon, the two somersaulted in the air before stabilizing.
"Are you all right, Lumine?" Jason breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the attack.
"I'm alright. But, um... actually, I noticed that too..." As she was saying this, her voice became shyer and shyer.
She also wanted to pull Jason away before.
But her body's reaction wasn't fast enough. Therefore, the result was reversed, and now she was being held by the other party like a princess.
"Lumine, your skirt!" Paimon appeared quietly behind her and reminded her.
"What!"
Lumine realized that the previous wind blew her skirt, revealing a section of juicy thighs above angled thigh-high stockings. Fortunately, she was wearing shorts inside. Otherwise, Jason would've seen everything inside her skirt.
But even so, this discovery made her very shy.
She quickly pulled down her skirt and covered it.
Her face was flushed due to embarrassment.
Paimon interrupted her thoughts, "Hey, why aren't the two of you descending? How are you staying afloat like this with just a Wind Glider?"
Paimon is indeed worthy of being the best friend of the traveler. She came to rescue her at such an embarrassing moment. Although, it is most likely unintentional.
"I'm preventing your fall with the power of a thousand winds."
"Now, concentrate. See yourself grasping the wind. Harness its energy!"
A gentle voice rang in the ears of the three of them.
It was the sound of the wind.
At the same time, an imprint of Anemo element condensed in front of Jason and Lumine.
Jason felt that he could use this mark to manipulate a thousand winds and turn them into a wind arrow.
"Who... who said that!?" Paimon tried searching for the owner of the voice.
"Most likely Barbatos," Jason answered.
"The Anemo Archon?" Lumine was also a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, they can receive the help of Mondstadt's belief - The Anemo Archon.
"Lumine, try to control it!"
Jason asked Lumine to spread the wings of her wind glider and stand high in the air and control the wind imprint.
"What about you, Jason?"
"I'll check out Stormterror."
Jason shook hands as if he was holding something there.
Lumine didn't ask any more questions, and she concentrated on manipulating the anemo imprint to shoot condensed wind element arrows in the direction of Stormterror.
Due to the help of Barbatos, they can always chase behind Stormterror to attack. No matter how the dragon flies in the sky, it can't find any suitable angle to attack them.
Roar!!!
In the roar of the wind dragon, there was deep frustration and unwillingness.
Its eyes looked at two with hatred, then at the statue of the Anemo Archon. Finally, it spread out its wings and flew towards a higher altitude.
"Stormterror is going to escape!" Lumine realized.
"Yes..." Jason saw the situation clearly and said, "Wind King Barrier!"
As soon as the words fell, a mighty wind elemental force burst out of his body.
The wings of the wind glider flapped behind him and suddenly sprang out in the air.
He quickly approached the dragon that was trying to escape.
The Wind King Barrier, or Invisible Air, can even cover a more sophisticated motorcycle; it is too simple to envelop his wind glider and increase its speed.
"Oh?" There was a hint of surprise in Barbatos's voice.
"Concentrate the power of the wind elements in one point and suddenly release it, causing extreme wind pressure and vacuum to propel forward."
"At the same time, reducing the wind resistance, the acquired speed is equivalent to using anemo rings indefinitely in a short period. This speed can definitely catch up with Dvalin."
"Is this the ability Boss Jason mastered? What does he want to do?" Barbatos became a little interested.
"Boss Jason?" Lumine keenly caught the word during Barbatos's mumbling.
"As the boss of Good Hunter, everyone in Mondstadt calls him that way. But it's strange why even the anemo archon calls Jason that way..." Lumine muttered to herself.
"Wow, Jason is about to hit the wind dragon!" Paimon exclaimed nervously, bringing back her attention.
In the sky, Jason held an invisible long sword and smashed an eerie purple crystal on the back of Stormterror fiercely.
Boom!
The wind dragon, flying upwards, was suddenly shot down by such a heavy blow.
Roar!!
It howled and glanced back at Jason.
Then, it flapped its wings and flew high into the sky again.
Dvalin thought this man managed to land a hit on it due to the blessing of the wind god, Barbatos.
So, it didn't want to entangle anymore.
"Huff, huff...
Jason stayed in his place mid-air and looked slightly unhappy at the few places in Mondstadt that were shining with a strange light.
"Is the power of Dragon of the East so strong?"
"I thought that the opponent would not be so strong with the current low world level and could try to solve the problem directly."
"But, It looks like I underestimated my opponent." Jason realized his mistake.
