"Hmph, dealing with you will still cause chaos in Mondstadt for a while!"
The Ice Abyss Mage raised its staff, channeling the ice elental energy.
Yesterday, that idiot Pyro Mage went out and returned to the base, taking their most powerful Hilichurl minion, the Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl, and disappeared to who knows where.
As a result, their recent plan to command the Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl to harass Mondstadt City was delayed again!
Today, the Ice Abyss Mage left the base to find the Pyro Mage and the Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl. Instead, it encountered the seemingly weakened Acting Grand Master.
Kekeke, this is a rare opportunity to take her down!
Oh, and as a bonus, an Honorary Knight. Taking them out would have a greater impact than occasionally harassing Mondstadt and those villages with hilichurls!
The Ice Abyss Mage felt smug. It didn't believe the weakened Acting Grand Master could defeat it.
Large, irregular ice blocks were conjured, falling like teors towards the pair, only to be easily shredded by the hurricane swirling around Jean.
"Honorary Knight, could you break its elental shield?"
Jean could use her wind elent to forcibly break the Abyss Mage's shield, but she wasn't in the best condition. Nolan, who could use fire elents, was perfect for the task.
Nolan nodded, summoning the Adventurer's Hunting Bow from his Delusion.
Fire elental energy coated a normal arrow as he aid at the Abyss Mage.
The Ice Abyss Mage noticed Nolan's actions but dismissed the weak human, thinking he couldn't cause any harm. Those slow arrows could be blocked easily with its staff.
Hmm, deflect with the staff.
Of course, even its elental shield couldn't be broken, so it wasn't necessary for it to personally intervene.
It arrogantly glanced at Nolan, then continued to nonchalantly gather even larger ice blocks to hurl at the Acting Grand Master.
Though Nolan couldn't see the exact face under the Abyss Mage's mask, he sensed its contempt towards him.
He smiled nonchalantly. Let's show you what a frontal assault ans!
Even though you know I'm about to attack, you won't be able to react in ti.
Nolan loosened his fingers holding the bowstring slightly, and the fire elental arrow instantly disappeared into space.
When the Ice Abyss Mage felt like it needed to dodge.
"Pff!"
A burst of flas suddenly exploded in front of it, less than twenty centiters away, perfectly blocked by its elental shield.
However, the ice elents of the elental shield were rapidly depleting.
"Wha?"
The Ice Abyss Mage seed genuinely surprised.
But Jean wouldn't miss this opportunity.
She raised her fair hand slightly, gathering the whirlwind around her into her palm, then unleashed it like a water cannon, shooting wind elents that collided with Nolan's fire elents.
With the spread of wind elents, the flas blossoming in front of the Abyss Mage instantly engulfed it.
As expected, level sixty-three might be a bit challenging for Nolan, but for Jean, it wasn't much.
The mont the wind elents spread the fire elents, the outco was sealed.
The Ice Abyss Mage's elental shield shattered quickly.
"Thud."
A charred figure fell to the ground, landing on the grass.
It should be over, Nolan thought.
The grass and dust stirred by the wind were still floating.
Nolan waited for a while but didn't hear the notification of gaining Adventure EXP for defeating an enemy from his character panel.
This shouldn't be the case. Even if Jean defeated it, he should still gain so Adventure EXP due to his "Honorary Knight" title!
Could it still be alive?!
Nolan could only think of this possibility. He vigilantly kept his eyes on the fallen figure. As the grass and dust gradually settled, his vision cleared.
What appeared before the two of them had the appearance of an Ice Abyss Mage, but its charred body was slowly leaking water underneath.
Just like ice lting under the sun.
Moreover, the arm of this "leaking" Ice Abyss Mage seed to have fractured upon impact, and the broken edges on both sides were indeed the color of ice.
"Is this... an Ice Elental Clone?" Nolan pondered for a long ti before finally coming up with this na.
"Well, it seems it created a clone with magic just as its elental shield was about to break, using it to distract us and make its escape," Jean mused with her arms crossed, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Her boots touched the grass, silently brushed by the wind, while the round and distinct lines of her knees, constrained by white tight pants, were visible in the sunlight.
"Ah, it looks like I underestimated it. It actually ran away as soon as it sensed danger!" Nolan's face showed a hint of helplessness.
These Abyss Mages with their teleportation skills were indeed adept at escaping. Right now, he had no ans to counter it.
However, Nolan suddenly thought of his spiritual threads.
"If my spiritual power is strong enough, in the future, when encountering these Abyss Mages, could I silently knock them out without needing to break their shields first?"
Hmm... it seed quite feasible. Looks like he needed to speed up finding ways to enhance his spiritual power.
He also wondered where Lumine and Paimon were now. They should still be so distance from Liyue Harbor since they hadn't been on the road for long.
"No worries, my wind elent will leave a mark on it. It ran away at just the right mont. I'll also find their base and clear it out."
Jean didn't seem disappointed by this.
Instead, she slightly lifted the corners of her soft mouth and smiled.
"Oh, as expected of Grand Master Jean, you even had a backup plan!"
Nolan said, pleasantly surprised. It felt like a high-level player carrying a newbie through a dungeon.
"Wait a mont."
Jean closed her eyes gently, focusing on sensing the position of her wind elent mark. It wasn't difficult for her.
She quickly reopened her eyes and said, "It's in the direction of Whispering Woods. We must act quickly. Honorary Knight, let's go."
"Understood." Nolan nodded.
Whispering Woods, so this is it.
Could it be that this Ice Abyss Mage and yesterday's Pyro Mage share the sa base? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Nolan thought with so surprise.
Whispering Woods, eastern side.
The brilliant sunlight filtered through the branches and fell on the two figures walking slowly. The forest breeze lifted Jean's cape, revealing glimpses of her snow-white skin on her back.
"Let's head this way."
Following Jean's elental mark, The two of them successfully found the place where the Ice Abyss Mage had ultimately stopped fleeing.
It was a shallow crack in the middle of a mountain wall, appearing completely inconspicuous at first glance.
"It wouldn't have burrowed into the ground, would it?"
Nolan asked with so confusion.
"No, I'm sure my perception isn't wrong. The wind elental mark is inside."
Jean shook her head, then pressed her fair index finger against her lower lip in thought.
"It's probably an illusion. A casual elental attack should break it, but it might alert the monsters inside."
