Unexpected

One of Mitachurls tried to reach its hand to Baron Bunny.

KABOOM!

Engulfed in a blazing explosion. The aforementioned Mitachurl was sent flying while the little Hilichurls nearby got obliterated.

"Let it rain!"

Amber pointed her bow down, the arrow was on fire. She shot and it split into multiple fire arrows.

I did not have time to admire the spectacular scene as me and Noelle plunged downwards with our claymores.

Below Noelle is one of the Mitachurls. Below me is the Pyro Abyss Mage. It already surrounded itself with its pyro shield.

My weapon is covered with hydro-elemental particles. I cast another type of plunging Hydro skill. I named it Hydro Javelin.

"Hah!"

"Ika! Enemy!"

I hear you loud and clear. But it was too late, my blade cut through the shield like tofu. Just when I thought I could finish it in one move. This bastard teleported quickly.

"Ah! It's you! The enemy that broke my shield!"

Huh? Does this guy know me? Should I reply, I don't want to reply as that would mean I can't understand them.

I didn't answer as I pursued the Pyro Abyss Mage. It cursed.

"Curse you, foolish human!"

It fired a flame wave in my direction. I easily dodge the attack as I continue chasing it, it continues to teleport.

It even hid behind a Mitachurl and some Hilichurls.

The Mitachurl is using a big axe. It lifted the axe up and then swung it downwards with great speed. I meet the axe head-on with my Claymore.

Clang!

The Mitachurl backed away a few steps. I ignored the little ones coming as I put my strength on my feet and then sprung toward the Mitachurl who was dazed after the head-on.

Covering my blade with Pyro! The hot steel blade slashed on the Mitachurl. It disintegrated.

All that happened in an instant.

Sensing danger, The Pyro Abyss Mage sent another volatile flaming projectile on me. While the Hilichurls tried to keep me busy.

"How! What are you, Human? How can you use Hydro and Pyro!"

The Pyro Abyss Mage cursed aloud.

The other Abyss Mages were pre-occupied. Lumine faced the Hydro Abyss Mage. Lisa and Amber faced the Cryo Mage with Noelle as their vanguard.

As for Mika, this little shota. Is versatile, he is one of those people who doesn't adhere to weapon compatibility. He soloed the Electro Abyss Mage.

However, Noelle provides support to him from time to time. Amber also provides fire arrows toward the Electro Abyss Mage causing an Overload.

I took a glance at Lumine and saw her fairing well against Hydro Abyss Mage and some minions around. She can handle them easily.

Seeing everyone is busy on their own, I'll have to lure this Pyro Abyss Mage to talk more.

"This one is more troublesome than the Abyss Mage I killed last time. Why is this one running? Is this one a coward?"

I said with a struggle. I provoked it, hiding the grin behind my facade.

"I remember that Abyss Mage was looking down on us. Is this one different?" I said aloud.

If I could see behind the mask, I would see its forehead covered in veins. I remained nonchalant as I could see it tremble.

"Human! You calling me a coward! If not for your Elemental advantage I would have blazed you to ashes! Grrrr, you're lucky you don't understand me. If not for 'Him' I would have been sent to the Abyss for eternity."

It scratches its head crazily inside its barrier. It looked agitated. I didn't think it was easy to provoke this idiot.

"Is it angry perhaps? What is it rambling about?" I feigned ignorance while muttering out loud.

Does this guy don't know any cheap tricks, poor guy. Anyone would know I was saying them out loud. It seems the abyss mage cannot think properly despite regaining some clarity.

"I'll kill you! It doesn't matter if I die again. With the ritual, we are essentially immortals! But aaargh! I- Noooo!"

It clutched its head and was obliterated. I frowned. This is unexpected. It was so sudden, that I never had time to comprehend it.

The Mitachurls and Hilichurls look at their leader disappear making them restless. As If in trance, the Mitachurls roared loudly as they sprinted toward me.

I smack my lips. Then deal with the remaining enemies.

The information was short, but I can deduce it.

The reason why they the Abyss Order disintegrated. It's because they can be resurrected. I also found wild Hilichurls on the way to Mondstadt but these Hilichurls do not disintegrate after death.

So what's the difference? I thought.

Now I know. The Abyss Order can resurrect after death. No wonder, that Pyro Abyss Mage recognized me.

Just as it tried to say more, the Pyro Abyss Mage disappeared. It appears there is a failsafe and cannot divulge any secrets.

What a troublesome. I wanted to know more. Shaking my head, I turn my attention to Lumine and the others. Lumine dealt all the Mitachurls and Hilichurls around the Hydro Abyss Mage, she was now dealing with it.

The Anemo Elemental Particles around Lumine made her look like a fairy.

I turned my attention to others. They don't need any help. This ambush team is powerful.

Lisa is sending Electro spells toward the Cryo Abyss Mage with a smile on her face. Her expression made me shiver, she looked like she was enjoying toying with her enemy.

Compared to her, Noelle was unbothered. There is a Geo shield around here. The enemies' weapons, arrows, and spells from samachurls bounced when those attacks met the shield.

Her shield is hard. Coating her Favonius Greatsword with Geo Element. It was Noelle Elemental Burst. Her face is serene without breaking a cold sweat.

Damn, these people are strong.

Amber shoots a large fire arrow, homing arrows. Her Baron Bunny runs cutely toward the Electro Abyss Mage, it leaped and when it is close to the enemy it explodes.

The Electro Abyss Mage panicked as it dodged using its teleportation. Mika suddenly appeared behind it, his polearm was coated with Ice or Cryo Element.

"Fall!"

The shield broke with a cracking sound. The Electro Abyss Mage without its shield is helpless. Not long, it perished.

The Cryo Abyss Mage did not survive long after. With Lisa's constant bullying, it perished while screaming saying unfair.

After that, Lumine finally can put the Hydro Abyss Mage's shield down after countless wind attacks. The Abyss Mage butt on the ground looked up as it saw a dull blade coming down.

Lumine, that's pretty savage. I approached her.

"Good job."

Lumine wiped the sweat on her forehead. She looked at me and smiled.

"It was a tough opponent, its shield is the troublesome part."

"You handled it very well."

"You were pretty fast yourself."

"Hahaha, about that. My opponent disappeared mid-battle."

After recounting my battle to her. Lumine giggled cutely.

Last night, I was so exhausted I slept first. I do not know what happened but this morning, Lumine looked pretty lively.

She did not do anything, right? Right?

"What was that, that's so funny. You teased it to death. Hahaha."
