In every era, stars rise, radiating brilliant glory.
And there are stars that fall silently.
Undoubtedly, Torachiyo was the favored child of the heavens in her era.
But her ending was perhaps a bit too bleak.
Not only did she end up tarnishing the Mikoshi na, but she also caused her two children to live in sha because of it.
Fortunately, her two children proved their worth.
Her biological son, Mikoshi Douin, with the help of the Tengu maiden, founded the Iwakura Art. Eventually, under the na Iwakura Douin, he beca the Kujou Clan's sword instructor, gaining fa throughout Inazuma.
Her adopted son, Nagamasa, strove to enter the governnt. With a hundredfold diligence and integrity, he washed away the stain on the Mikoshi na. To this day, the descendant of the Mikoshi clan, Mikoshi Genjirou, still serves in the Shogunate.
It is a pity... just as the Tengu maiden once said, non-human beings should not covet a peaceful human end.
Before long, a certain blonde-haired kid will arrive here with their "ergency food," unintentionally wipe out a martial arts school, and completely sever Mikoshi Chiyo's last bloodline.
In contrast, the adopted son's lineage has firmly established itself in Inazuma.
Bai Luo could certainly be called a favored child of the new era, and one of the brightest rising stars in Teyvat at this mont.
Or perhaps, a scourge.
But the battle between the two was almost entirely one-sided.
Torachiyo was suppressing Bai Luo.
Unlike his previous battle with the Raiden Shogun, Bai Luo didn't have the convenient Quantumization available right now.
Moreover, his class was strictly restricted, preventing him from going all out.
The only reason he had held on until now was that the opponent was missing an arm.
If he were facing her in her pri...
He estimated he would need to activate all three classes simultaneously to stand a chance.
The pitch-black aura on Torachiyo grew increasingly lush, condensing into sothing substantial, like the ramient (a kind of clothing of Warriors ) of an Adeptus.
Except this ramient wasn't ethereal and divine; instead, it gave off an evil sensation.
Every swipe of her claws created a sonic boom. Even though Bai Luo dodged them, the wind pressure from the claws stung his skin.
When the claws swiped past his ears, he felt as if he had montarily lost his hearing.
The scratches on the cliff face and the gouges in the earth were all Torachiyo's doing.
Finally, Bai Luo was forced into a corner, with nowhere left to dodge.
A cold glint seed to flash on her sharp claws.
Torachiyo's claws slapped rcilessly toward Bai Luo.
However, she didn't notice the cunning light flashing in Bai Luo's eyes.
Ducking low, Bai Luo barely evaded her claws and flashed behind her.
"Demonic Sword Invasion!"
The single-handed sword in his hand slashed viciously at Torachiyo's back.
Whether the black aura had a defensive function, or the clothes she wore were treasures in themselves, Bai Luo's horizontal slash didn't achieve much.
It rely knocked her closer to the cliff wall.
Next up...
"Sonic Boom!"
After Demonic Sword Invasion, a certain luster appeared on Bai Luo's sword—a damage amplification buff from the previous skill.
Followed by a Sonic Boom, he carried Torachiyo with him and slamd hard into the cliff face.
Fortunately, this inherently buggy skill was reliable this ti, and the "passing through the opponent" glitch didn't occur.
Torachiyo entered a stunned state.
"Four-Sided Slash!"
Three sword shadows flew out in response. As for the remaining one... it flew toward Torachiyo and left a mark on her body.
Bai Luo used the montum to teleport to one of the sword shadows.
Looking at the mark on Torachiyo, Bai Luo's free hand reached for the other sword on his back.
In an instant, brilliant sword light illuminated the entire forest as if it were day.
"Starburst Stream!"
After obtaining the exclusive weapon, Elucidator, his Elental Burst had changed.
[Elucidator]
10% Cooldown Reduction
Unique Passive: Changes the Hero's skill effects. Starburst Stream changed to First Form / Second Form / Third Form / Final Form.
Equipping this item replaces the previous Elental Burst.
This item is unique and a second copy cannot be redeed or purchased by any ans.
First Form: Deals 40% normal attack damage 5 tis to enemies in front and to the side (cannot crit) and grants access to the next combo stage. If it hits an enemy unit, gain 30% damage reduction for 3 seconds.
Second & Third Form: Sa as above.
Final Form: Launch a raid on the target, dealing 40% normal attack damage once, plus True Damage equal to 10% of the target's Max HP.
The mont he drew the second sword, Bai Luo teleported behind the marked Torachiyo.
The skill's wind-up animation finished during the teleportation. The mont Bai Luo appeared behind her was exactly when Starburst Stream took effect.
Brilliant sword lights flickered.
The cliff wall and Torachiyo's body were covered in slash marks from Starburst Stream.
"ROAR!"
By the ti Bai Luo finished the First Form, Torachiyo had regained consciousness and slapped a paw toward Bai Luo.
Crossing his dual swords, Bai Luo barely blocked Torachiyo's attack.
However, his knees buckled, and he was nearly forced to the ground by the slap.
"It's not over yet!"
Steeling his heart, Bai Luo released the lock of his dual swords, allowing the claw—whose force he had partially deflected—to strike his body.
Even with the force deflected, Torachiyo's claw wasn't sothing just anyone could tank.
But Starburst Stream provided damage reduction, so while the slap made Bai Luo grimace in pain, he didn't suffer overly severe injuries.
With the dual swords alternating, the Second Form was unleashed.
Five consecutive slashes followed. Even Torachiyo couldn't handle it and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
"Third Form!"
When the Third Form was unleashed, an accident finally occurred.
Amidst the dazzling sword lights, Torachiyo managed to track Bai Luo's trajectory and bit down directly onto the blade of the Elucidator, forcibly stopping Bai Luo's slash.
One must rember, Torachiyo was an existence that had chewed the Raiden Shogun's naginata to pieces; her teeth were extraordinarily strong.
Fortunately, she bit the Elucidator and not the more fragile Dark Repulser.
Otherwise, Bai Luo really wasn't sure if his sword would have survived.
Trying to pull it back, Bai Luo found he couldn't budge it at all, so he simply teleported to a lingering sword shadow.
Bai Luo and his sword disappeared simultaneously, causing Torachiyo to bite down on empty air.
It might have been an illusion, but Bai Luo actually saw sparks fly from her teeth snapping together.
Truly terrifying...
After landing, Bai Luo leaned forward slightly, holding the Elucidator and Dark Repulser at his sides.
Final Form activated. Bai Luo, wielding dual swords, transford into an arrow leaving the string, creating a sonic boom as he rushed toward Torachiyo.
Schlk—
Both swords plunged deep into her chest, right up to the hilts. The frenzied Torachiyo finally quieted down.
Her intact right claw raised slightly, but ultimately dropped down weakly.
Pulling out his dual swords, Bai Luo rotated his shoulder, which had been hit earlier, intending to turn and leave.
But soon, he realized sothing.
Why didn't the System notify him that the trial was complete?
