Just then, a large number of monsters appeared in Diluc's sight.
The leading monster was a colossal creature, deep purple all over, with scales shimmering with a dark glow.
This was the nightmare that had plagued Mondstadt for years!
Ursa the Drake!
Ursa the Drake spread its wings, which blotted out the sky, its dragon eyes glowed crimson, and a low growl rumbled deep in its throat, as if even the air was trembling.
"Roar—"
Ursa the Drake's target was clear: the carriage where Crepus and Lu Li were!
Seeing that Ursa the Drake's target was his father, Diluc's pupils constricted, and he leaped from his horse without hesitation.
His Vision suddenly erupted with a blazing fire, and his greatsword ignited with raging flames!
"I won't let you harm Father, I will protect Mondstadt!"
Diluc instantly ignited, his sword slicing through the air, striking directly at Ursa the Drake's claws!
"Father! You two run, I'll cover your retreat!"
But the young Diluc, with his current strength, was no match for Ursa the Drake.
Bang!!!
With just one swipe of Ursa the Drake's claw, Diluc was violently sent flying, crashing heavily against a tree trunk, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Cough…!"
Everyone in the convoy instantly sobered up, their faces pale.
"Even the cavalry captain…?!"
"It's over, we won't last until the Knights of Favonius arrive!"
Ursa the Drake's single claw attack.
Diluc spat out blood and almost passed out.
Diluc, the strongest among them, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius.
He was defeated!!!
Crepus's expression instantly became solemn; he touched the wooden box in his arms and then glanced at the young Lu Li beside him.
He hadn't expected… that his kind act of bringing Lu Li back to Dawn Winery to shelter from the rain would lead to encountering so many monsters, and even Ursa the Drake!
His good intentions had instead harmed Lu Li; a trace of guilt and determination flashed in Crepus's eyes.
"Goodbye, Diluc, my most proud son."
"It seems, in the end, I'll have to use the power of this thing."
Crepus opened the box, took out the glove inside, and then put the glove on his hand.
Crepus knew very well.
Once he put it on, he would surely die.
"As long as I can protect Mondstadt, protect Diluc… what does it matter if I lose my life?"
He was worthy of the Ragnvindr family motto.
Crepus had two wishes in his life: one was to join the Knights of Favonius, and the other was to possess a Vision.
But Crepus had not received the gods' gaze, nor did he possess powerful combat Talents like Diluc.
Neither of these wishes could be realized, but now Crepus knew that in this situation, only this could protect everyone.
He quickly put on the Delusion, picked up Lu Li, and pointed towards Mondstadt City.
"Little friend, run quickly, run as far as you can!"
Lu Li shook his head, his tone incredibly relaxed.
"You promised to invite me to play at Dawn Winery, Uncle, are you going back on your word already?"
Diluc: "…???"
Lying on the ground, Diluc heard Lu Li's words and felt his blood surge with anger, coughing up another mouthful of blood.
If he had run just now, there might have been a glimmer of hope.
He had risked his life to buy time for them to escape, and you say you want to go play at Dawn Winery?!
What time is it, and you're still thinking about playing?!
So many monsters!
And Ursa the Drake is here, not running but still wanting to play… kid, you're invincible.
This is no longer a question of playing or not, but whether they will even live today!
Crepus had thought Lu Li might cry, or perhaps be so scared he'd wet his pants and then run.
But.
Lu Li's remark about wanting to play at Dawn Winery directly made Crepus's cerebellum shrink, and the hand releasing the Delusion's power slowed down.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
However, the next second.
"Tap, tap-tap."
Lu Li lightly tapped his toes, and his entire body actually floated into the air, walking on air as if on solid ground!
"Hiss—"
Watching this scene.
Crepus gasped, his eyes almost popping out.
Walking on air?!
Only an Original Sect Expert could do that!
When Crepus went on business trips, he liked to find novels to read on the way. Although Crepus couldn't remember the name of that novel.
But that world made Crepus yearn for it immensely.
That world had no magic.
Humans didn't need the gods' gaze to gain power; it was a world of original energy.
An Original King Expert could transform original energy into wings!
An Original Sect Expert could walk on air!
Meaning, when one cultivated original energy to the Original King realm, they could transform original energy into wings and fly into the sky without external aid!
And when one cultivated to the Original Sect realm, they could do as Lu Li did, directly walking on air.
"An Original Sect Expert, terrifying indeed!"
Upon seeing Lu Li ascend into the air.
Ursa the Drake's originally ferocious dragon eyes suddenly constricted, and it instinctively took a half-step back, letting out a wary growl from its throat.
It actually felt a sense of oppression from Lu Li!
And Lu Li merely smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Ursa the Drake.
Ursa the Drake roared loudly as if to embolden itself, its roar shaking the forest.
Its dragon might almost suffocated everyone present except Lu Li.
However.
Facing this creature that had rampaged through Mondstadt for years, Lu Li merely raised his hand slightly.
As Lu Li raised his hand.
All the swords of everyone present seemed to obey Lu Li's call.
All the swords flew behind Lu Li.
Moreover, these swords had been imbued by Lu Li with spiritual energy of different attributes, which could trigger Teyvat's element reactions, dealing higher DMG.
Lu Li waved his hand!
All the swords that had flown up behind him simultaneously slashed towards Ursa the Drake's neck!
In an instant!
Countless swords wove into a net of destruction. Lu Li commanded the swords to fiercely attack Ursa the Drake's neck, and the scales on Ursa the Drake's neck shattered inch by inch, its flesh and blood tearing into dust under the energy!
Just three seconds later—
"Boom!!!"
Ursa the Drake's head flew high, dragon blood gushing like a fountain into the sky, spilling onto the earth.
Its body crashed down with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.
The entire battlefield fell into a dead silence. Diluc's eyes widened, unable to believe what he saw before him.
Crepus's mouth hung open.
The power of the Delusion hadn't even had time to activate, and the battle was already over.
The coachmen of the convoy had weak legs, some directly fell to their knees, others frantically rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had drunk too much and were hallucinating.
"The beast of calamity that even the Knights of Favonius were helpless against!!!"
"Actually… was instantly killed by a child?!"
"This… how is this possible…"
"That was Ursa the Drake!"
The coachmen, having survived the ordeal, watched this scene, unable to recover, all shouting their shock.
Behind Lu Li, Crepus's hand trembled violently. He stared intently at Lu Li's back, with only one thought remaining in his mind.
"Who exactly is this child?!"
At this moment.
Kaeya was leading the Knights of Favonius to provide support.
And these people basically had no weapons in their hands; all their swords had been commanded by Lu Li to kill Ursa the Drake, and had been confiscated.
