Chapter 78

Lumine is a very righteous person. She can't stand seeing the people in the city suffer due to the Wind Demon Dragon incident, causing problems for their lives. However, it isn't just small matters that always require the Traveler to solve; Lumine is also a good person who is loved by everyone in Mondstadt.

"Huh? Wind Demon Dragon?" Takumi, who was picking up garbage in the store, suddenly heard a familiar voice. He then turned toward the door. It could be seen that the door of the Adventurer's Association, which is usually open, was now closed. Needless to say, there were no other shops in the city.

In front of him, in the sky, a huge cyan dragon was rushing straight toward the statue of Barbatos in Mondstadt! It seemed to harbor a huge hatred for the person represented by the statue.

"This guy has made my shop lose business," Takumi muttered. If it weren't for another Barbara fishing in the store, he might have been inclined to take action. This nasty Twarain must be controlled by those Abyss Cultists. Well now, it had become a biological weapon. Shouldn't this be beaten up?

Takumi suddenly remembered that Lumine had obtained the ability to purify last night. He was suddenly curious about how Lumine would handle the situation with Twarain.

Twarain is a powerful but ignorant elemental creature. After meeting Barbatos, Twarain gradually learned the human language and became one of the guardians of Mondstadt. After the expulsion of the old nobility thousands of years ago, Barbatos summoned Twarain to blow away the ice and snow, flatten the peaks, and level the terrain of Mondstadt. Twarain was in charge of the whole operation while Barbatos played his harp in the background.

Over millennia, Barbatos got used to fishing and disappeared for long periods. Twarain, who longed for freedom, continued to guard Mondstadt due to Barbatos' promise. Over time, he developed a strong hatred for Mondstadt. Eventually, the Abyss Cult brainwashed him and turned him into a weapon of war.

Lumine took the Wufeng Sword and walked out of the city. The infestation of the Wind Demon Dragon couldn't be that simple. It wasn't that she couldn't fight in the city, but Lumine wanted to test the purification bracelet she had acquired. She didn't want anyone to find out about such an embarrassing thing. After all, isn't that embarrassing?

As soon as she stepped outside, a gust of wind blew directly toward Lumine. Just like in the plot, she was swept into the sky by the wind! Fortunately, Barbatos, who had been slacking off, finally woke up and gave Lumine the ability to fly for a short time! 

However, how could Barbatos' aura not be familiar to the Wind Demon Dragon? Upon sensing this familiar presence, Twarain became even more agitated and rushed toward Lumine.

With such a huge dragon, if it really hit, how much damage would it do to Lumine? But with the blessing of Barbatos, Twarain didn't crash into Lumine. Instead, Lumine raised her hand, and the situation took an unexpected turn.

"Are you going to make a move?" Paimon, who had learned how to take pictures, curiously pulled out her phone and intended to capture the moment. 

"Paimon! No filming allowed!" Lumine said, her voice firm as she raised both hands. One hand pointed in the direction of Twarain, and the other hand held her wrist tightly. Then, she shouted the incantation, "Be good, it doesn't hurt, just turn me into a fool!"

The spell echoed in the air, but it wasn't a joke—golden light erupted from Lumine's hands, enveloping Twarain's massive form. The restless dragon, which had been rampaging, instantly became calm.

"I'll wipe! This... This can't be something I got from the boss!" Venti exclaimed seriously. As the wind god, he could actually feel the energy of purification emanating from Lumine's spell. Even Twarain, who was originally irritable, gradually calmed down under this purifying power. No one could resist such a force.

"Success! Lumine! Success!" Paimon cheered, forgetting to take her pictures.

Lumine, feeling the power of the purification, was astonished at how much impact it had on the Wind Demon Dragon. This was truly powerful! 

Then it occurred to Lumine—could Boss Takumi really not be Barbatos? If he wasn't Barbatos, perhaps he was another god. The next time she went to see him, she would have to ask about her "big brother's" news!

"Your Highness! Your Highness, it's not good! It's not good!" An Ice Abyss Mage appeared behind Kong, urgently explaining what had just happened.

"What? Lumine is purifying the power of the abyss on the Wind Demon Dragon?" Kong couldn't believe it. Where did Lumine get the purification ability from? When he heard the news, he was in disbelief, unsure if his subordinates were deceiving him.

However, his doubts were silenced when he saw the shadow in the sky—it was the sister he hadn't seen in five hundred years. He didn't feel the power of purification directly, but he could see that Twarain had gradually stopped moving under its influence.

"Recall the Wind Demon Dragon immediately!" Kong ordered. "Bury the god of Mond, let's talk about it later."

After speaking, Kong turned and left the scene. The Abyss Mage who controlled Twarain hurriedly issued the spell. Taking advantage of the purification power, the Abyssal energy hadn't been fully cleansed yet, and they quickly called the dragon back.

"Huh? Missed the spoon?" Venti exclaimed in surprise as the wind calmed down. Twarain flapped his massive wings and disappeared from the sky. 

This meant Twarain was now under control. His mind wasn't entirely clear, but anyone who woke him up would surely thank the Abyss Cult. If they hadn't intervened, the purification energy might have turned Twarain into a fool.

The spell and purified energy could break the Abyssal Order's shackles and directly influence the Abyss' power. It was truly terrifying.
