The entire battlefield was covered in blood and the remains of the dead.

First, Amber. An ice spike came out of the ground, penetrated her chest and came out of her back. Impaling her. Only a piece of her intestines and her fluid were at the tip of the spike.

Second, Eula. She was leaning on an ice block with a hole as big as basketball in her front. One can easily see the other side. On top of that, there was not a single organ inside her body.

Finally, Lumine. Her headless body was lying at one side and her head was thrown at other side. Not only that but the upper part of head was cracked open and only a few remains of the brain matters were left.

All of them were missing two of three limbs. Their bodies were eaten from many parts. The were many blood vessels, organ parts, bones all across the battlefield. Even strong-willed people would have hard time controlling themselves from vomiting after witnessing this. It was truly a gruesome scene.

THUD!!

Stepping on the red ground, Primis ignored everything and made his way towards Lumine.

SQUISH!

Even when his foot stepped on those dismembered parts, he kept on going before stopping near Lumine's head.

Crouching down, he picked it up. Most people would turn their head away and show disgust looking at such disfigured face. Still, Primis didn't show any such emotion.

He gently stroked her face for a minute or so before closing her half-opened eyes and laid it back on the ground.

Next, he put his hands in his jacket pocket and started walking with Makoto following behind in silence.

Primis saw many traces of battle in the way. Yet, there was not a single fluctuation in his now bluish-black eyes even after witnessing all of this.

Primis: What about Venti and Yuuya?

Makoto: After the death of three of them, Venti got angry and released a huge burst of power from within.

Primis: Elemental power...Anemo.

Makoto: Yes. Seeing that the power the Beast got scared because it knew that it was no longer Venti's match and ran.

Primis: Venti let it?

Makoto: No. He released a barrage of arrows but since it was somewhat difficult for it to control that huge boost in power, the attacks missed the sensitive spots and only succeeded in severing injuring the beast.

Primis: What about Yuuya?

Makoto: Before he was not the Beast match but once Venti injured it, Yuuya also let the rage take over and charged towards it. Later Venti also followed.

Primis: That's why they are no longer here.

Makoto: Um. They are following the Beast so that they can kill it with their own hands.

Primis: ......I see.

He said and the rest of the way went in silence.

Before long they reached the foot of the mountain and left the vicinity of Dragonspine.

Primis: If I am not wrong, the Beast ran towards the direction of the Mondstadt city, didn't it?

Makoto: Yes. It should be planning on eating on some humans to recover itself.

Primis: The city is in danger then.

Makoto: Um. My Lord, we must hurry and save them. I am sure that's what Lumine would have wanted from you too.

Primis: …You're right.

A smile appeared on Makoto hearing that.

Primis: Come, we will reach faster by flying there.

Makoto: Yes!

Responded enthusiastically, Makoto hurried walked to Primis side. Once she was at his right, his hand moved towards her waist to hold her.

BAM!!!!!

But then in the last moment, Primis changed the direction of his hand and punched the back of Makoto's head.

FWOOSH!!!

BOOM!!!

The force behind the hit threw her in front like some cannon ball. She penetrated through several hills on the way before plastering on a boulder face first.

After smashing through so many hills, her body was now covered in wounds.

With difficulty, Makoto moved her head to the side and saw Primis who was slowly walking towards her direction.

Makoto: M...…My Lor.d......Why......

Primis: I must say your acting is really great. However, it was a mistake to use it on me.

Makoto: ...…What are…you...talking about...…My Lord......I don't underst----

Primis: You are now wasting both yours and my time. I know you are not my Makoto.

'Makoto': ............…Since when?

Realizing that his/her camouflage was seen through, the person stopped pretending.

Primis: Since the moment I open my eyes, I knew you are someone else.

'Primis: As one of my members, Makoto now has a special connection with me. Not only that, like me all of my members are no longer bound with fate, destiny, luck, karma and so on. But this creature is different. Neither can if I feel the unique connection between us nor this creature is free from fate and others things. On top of that, our conversation later gives it away even more.'

Primis: When you said that Venti burst out of power in rage, I said Elemental Power, Anemo. You agree with it right away. That was your first mistake.

'Makoto': How so?

Primis: Because of Venti's special identity, the burst of power can't be elemental power but a different sort of power.

'Primis: Divine power of Celestia. That is something only The Seven are capable of using with the help of Gnosis. As a first electro Archon, Makoto had used that power before too. Hence, there is no way she will mistakenly call the power of Celestia as a mere Elemental power.

'Makoto': He has unique power different from elementals?

Primis: I guess. Though you don't need to know.

'Makoto': ...

Primis: Now for your second mistake. You said Venti barrage of arrows only injured the Beast since he had difficultly controlled his power. That's impossible too.

'Primis: As the Anemo Archon who have lived for so long Venti control over wind is almost flawless. Hence, there was no way that he could lost control over it. On top of that, after using Divine power of Celestia, a single arrow is all Venti needs to end that Beast, not some barrage of arrows.'

'Makoto': How impossible?

Primis: You are underestimating that Bard's archery. Anyway, on to your third mistake.

'Makoto': There is more!

Primis: Yes. It was that you said the Beast ran towards Mondstadt city to hunt humans. Since it was gravely injured to the point that even Yuuya could kill it than it means it will be even easier for the Knights of Favonius who are currently in the city to get rid of it.

'Primis: Even with System, Yuuya current level is still lower less that 65. While levels the Knights of Favonius like Jean and Lisa is higher than 70. They even have 5-star weapon with them.'

Primis: Because Venti is also in hot pursuit of the Beast, his wind power could be sensed from distance away. So, the Knights of Favonius could easily sensed it and intercept the Beast before it could even set its foot on the city. And finally...

Pausing for a second, Primis continue.

Primis: It's obvious that you want me to eagerly go to 'save' Mondstadt city. You go even far saying Lumine would have wanted that from me too. Why? With so many Knights there, why you want me to? Unless...…your kin are there too. Waiting for me.

'Makoto': ......…Tsk. That's why I hate you ugly humans. In most time you only care about yourself, but when there's a danger to your life comes, you become smart.

CRACK!!

...

'Makoto' moved and freed herself from the boulder before landing on the ground. Turning she smiled at him.

Ignoring that creepy smile she was showing, Primis thought.

'Primis: There are some more things like since I now know all the secrets of systems, I can easily see everything Yuuya's system gave or will give him...... In his inventory, there are two things that can help him to kill the Beast if he realized that the things are getting dangerous.'

Pausing he gaze at 'Makoto' whose body was changing.

'Primis: Also, I can't get any response from System's Spirit. It's the same case as before. In other words.........the Will of the World throw me in future again to show me Lumine's horrible death if I don't decide to step forward and lend the hand.'

SWOOSH!!

'Makoto' who had returned to her real form jumped at Primis.

'Primis: *sigh* For now let's finish her and return.'

At this moment, zenith flames inside Primis condensed and concentrated in his bluish-black eyes. It seemed that some kind of blue fire vortex was in his eyes.

Then, a solid blue beam erupted and shot out. Before 'Makoto' could react, the beam touched her and burnt her to nothing.

Primis: Rejoice. You are the first victim of my new move...............…Zenith Vision.
