Amber is Awesome!

Chapter 14

"I also cleared out a lot of hilichurl's camps before..."

Amber asked strangely, "Why didn't I notice this kind of energy?"

"Are there any strong hilichurls outside Mondstadt?"

Jason replied speechlessly, "I mean the kind that you can't easily defeat..."

Amber slightly blushed after hearing his reply.

Personally speaking, she hasn't encountered any strong hilichurls who can't be easily beaten. They all seem like weak chickens compared to the one inside the ruin.

If the hilichurls outside were so powerful, it would be difficult for her to escape unscathed.

"Let's go."

Jason leaned closer to the wall and glanced inside the hall, "Three wooden shield hilichurl guards, two hilichurl shooters, and one hilichurl grenadier."

"Do you want to ambush them?" Amber asked him eagerly.

If they set up an ambush near the door, they can quickly solve these hilichurls.

"No, I will separate the two hilichurl shooters." Jason rejected her suggestion. He wanted them to have more experience dealing with stronger enemies.

"Lumine, go deal with the hilichurl grenadier. It's the one carrying a pyro slime." Jason asked Lumine to fight against the most troublesome enemy.

"Lastly Amber, solve the remaining hilichurls with shields." Jason asked Amber to deal with the remaining enemies.

"Me? One-on-three!?" Amber was startled. She didn't expect him to assign her the most challenging task.

"Guerrilla warfare is an archer's forte." Jason replied as if it was a trivial matter.

If it was Fischl, let alone three wooden shield hilichurl guards, she would easily defeat them unscathed even if there was a mitachurl nearby.

"Then, I'll try my best..." Amber didn't have the confidence to complete the task, but she still accepted the assignment.

Then, they quickly started the fight.

Jason manipulated nearby geo/rock elements, and the surrounding floor started swaying like quicksand.

Such a large movement startled Amber and Lumine.

"Geo, rock element!?" Paimon was frightened by the movement and flew away.

"Isn't Boss Jason a wind element user?" Amber was stunned after seeing him use the geo element. It's common sense in Teyvat for vision holders to be able to manipulate a single element.

"Did you find any Anemo Vision beside me?"

After saying this, Jason stretched his finger towards the hall and unleashed his skill, "Rock Wall!"

Boom!!

Following the direction he pointed, a rock wall about a person's height suddenly rose from the ground, dividing the entire hall into several areas. The silhouettes of the hilichurls were directly submerged by the wall.

"Mi muhe nye!" [A/N: There is also a hilichurl language guide on the internet. I copy-paste some of the sentences. Don't mind!]

The hilichurls also found them immediately.

"Lumine!" Jason quickly reminded Lumine to take action.

"Hai!" Lumine quickly recovered her senses and responded positively.

Then, she immediately rushed towards the hilichurl grenadier holding a pyro slime. She released her sword and ran towards the wall.

Hilichurl grenadier is mainly support-type monsters.

They throw pyro slimes at enemies entangled with other hilichurls, creating an explosion dealing wide-area damage to the enemy.

Such an opponent, when faced one-to-one, is easier to deal with than most other hilichurls.

But when unattended, they can create endless trouble.

Lumine was ready to solve this troublesome foe quickly, so she went around the rock wall but found a hilichurl shooter blocking her way. She helplessly avoided it and rushed towards the grenadier.

"I'll leave the remaining ones to you, Amber."

Jason still has more than enough elemental powers inside his body, but he has no intention of taking action. This energy is used to protect Lumine and Amber in a crisis.

Amber didn't have any time to be shocked by the fact that he was a dual-element user.

Three hilichurls with wooden shields rushed in her direction. She needed immediate action.

Therefore, she aimed and condensed fire elements in the arrow and shot a flaming arrow at a shield, igniting it in the process.

"!!!" After feeling the burning temperature, the hilichurls started screaming. They hurriedly stopped their pace and waved their shields around in panic, trying to extinguish the flames.

Amber accelerated and rolled on the ground, widening the distance between her enemies.

After that, she reloaded another arrow in her bow and started condensing the fire element. Then, she aimed at the hilichurls and released another flaming arrow.

Swish! Bang!

Unfortunately, it was blocked by another hilichurl with a wooden shield. Luckily, the arrow ignited the shield as well.

At the same time, she glanced at the previous hilichurl, whose shield had been ignited first. Flames on the shield were mainly extinguished at the moment.

From the damage to the shield, she determined that it would take at least two focused strikes to burn it down completely.

Amber complained about the difficulty of her task. Nonetheless, she was determined to accomplish it.

She quickly ran to her feet, looking for a way to separate them.

"Jason, are you really not helping? Don't you want the feedback energy?" Paimon asked him curiously.

"No, I don't need that energy. I'll just help divide the enemies." Jason shook his head. For his upgrade, the training object needs to ascend a phase. His leveling has nothing to do with leyline energy or dragon's power.

On the other side, flames were spreading all over the ground due to the explosion of pyro slime. Lumine gracefully sheathed her sword after eliminating her target.

There was a burning corpse of a hilichurl grenadier near the floor.

After Lumine confirmed the feedback energy, she went around the rock wall to find the previous hilichurl shooter.

She felt herself getting stronger after the battle.

Therefore, she pursed her pink lips lightly and faintly smiled.

When she arrived at the back of the wall, she couldn't help but glance sideways at the man standing near the entrance.

"Did you upgrade?"

Jason can get information from his system even if he doesn't directly look at it.

At the same time, Amber also burned two wooden shields. She was being chased by three hilichurls and fled everywhere around.

There was no time for her to condense another flaming arrow.

Jason was speechless after looking at her and snapped his fingers.

Another thick earthen wall rose, directly separating Amber from the hilichurls.

Amber glanced in his direction, and her eyes lit up immediately.

After listening to the footsteps of the hilichurls, she aimed at a corner of the wall and started condensing a flaming arrow.

Then afterward, she released the arrow.

A hilichurl appeared out of the wall corner and was hit by the arrow.

The flaming arrow directly exploded its head.

This hilichurl, who still had a wooden shield, couldn't react in time and was directly killed.

Amber took two steps back and started condensing another flaming arrow. She also circled the wall to find the remaining hilichurls.

It took her a lot of time and energy to solve the remaining enemies.

"This is the thrill of leveling up in a battle!" Amber stuck out her tongue and exclaimed.

She was sweating all over her body, with her wet hair pressing against her cheeks.

She was panting slightly with her hands trembling.

During her speech, her breath was very irregular and inconsistent.

Despite this, she feels greater than ever before.

A big satisfied smile appeared on her cute little face.
