"AWOOOO..."
Boreas, the Wolf of the North, let out a miserable howl.
Violent power surged out, but his body was firmly pinned down by the Gravity Blade.
The Tessusaiga, which had been covered in dragon scales, slowly transformed into a brand new form after absorbing Boreas's power.
An icy blue blade, as if condensed from solid ice.
And the tsuba had transformed directly into the head of a wolf.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
After ten minutes of absorbing power, the Tessusaiga's form finally stabilized.
And Boreas's body slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Phew... it's finally over..."
Su Han looked at the clouds that had completely dissipated from the sky and sat down on the ground, exhausted.
However, there was a relaxed smile on his face.
Because his weapon had become stronger.
And it had gained a new form.
Wolf King Tessusaiga.
It had absorbed a portion of Andrius's power, and a portion of Boreas's power. A brand new form created from the fusion.
Without even trying, he could roughly guess that his moves would involve freezing and ice explosions.
However, before Su Han could rest for long, a wave of Abyssal power came from behind him.
Pitch-black, silent power tore through space.
A figure holding a longsword thrust it towards Su Han.
"Stop!"
Lumine's voice came from behind.
Looking at the longsword that was about to pierce Su Han's body, her face turned anxious, and she actually threw the weapon in her hand.
Holy light exploded in the air.
The Abyssal weapon was forced to stop.
A familiar figure appeared in front of Lumine.
Looking at his face, she bit her lower lip and asked with a trembling voice, "Why... why are you doing this..."
"I originally wanted to take you away, but unfortunately... I was stopped by this man! Lumine... I don't want to stop your journey. But the man in front of you is very dangerous. Leave him..."
Aether said coldly.
He had originally wanted to severely injure Su Han, or even kill him. But his sister had come. That "Stop!" had drained much of his strength.
They hadn't seen each other for five hundred years.
Meeting again made him lose his calm a little.
Looking at her unfamiliar brother and the exhausted Su Han, Lumine made a shocking move.
She actually stood in front of Su Han, protecting him.
Seeing his sister's action, Aether's face turned very ugly. He hadn't expected her to do such a thing.
"Lumine... do you know how dangerous the man behind you is..."
Faced with her brother's words, Lumine looked back and saw Su Han smiling at her.
There was no superfluous answer.
But that trust put Lumine completely at ease.
She looked back at her blood relative and said calmly, "I won't let you hurt Su Han. And... compared to the danger you speak of, I want to ask you what you've been doing recently... instructing Abyss forces to attack Mondstadt City, attack Liyue... and even other countries?"
"I have my own stance. If you want to find your own answer, I can send you to other countries. But... don't have any involvement with this man..."
Aether actually didn't want to meet his sister so early. However, Lumine's early awakening had disrupted all his plans. Of course, the most crucial thing... was this hateful man.
Faced with her brother's invitation, Lumine shook her head. "No... I won't leave with you. At least... not now..."
Hearing his sister say this, Aether looked at her with disappointment, his eyes filled with sadness.
He sighed softly.
The longsword in his hand tore through space-time, and he slowly disappeared.
Lumine was actually in pain too. Although she had only experienced a few short days, she understood the terror of the Abyss. Her brother's choice was definitely wrong.
"Lumine... are you okay?"
Looking at the silent Lumine, Paimon asked worriedly.
Lumine shook her head and forced a smile. "My brother... he must have misunderstood something. Even if he has difficulties, he shouldn't build them on destroying other lives... Don't worry, I will work hard to become stronger. This meeting has made me more determined to continue on my path! One day, I will stand before him and make my brother understand his mistake..."
"Mm, I believe in you..." Paimon nodded seriously.
At this time, Diluc and the others came to Su Han, looked at the fallen Wolf King Boreas, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, just a little exhausted... I'll be fine after a rest." Su Han smiled faintly.
The Azure Dragon transformation had no side effects. It was just that he had used too much power, so he needed to catch his breath.
Paimon flew over, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from Su Han's forehead, whispering, "That was really close just now... you were almost sneak-attacked by Lumine's brother."
Sneak attack?
How was that possible?
Su Han wanted to laugh. Before Aether appeared, he had seen the future. Lumine would stop him, and he would be fine. So he didn't dodge. Otherwise, dodging the attack would have been very simple.
Hearing Paimon's words, Lumine said apologetically, "I'm sorry... it's all my brother's fault... that's why..."
If anyone in Mondstadt died because of this, she would be very sad.
Su Han patted Lumine's head and smiled. "Since you know it's his fault, you shouldn't be the one apologizing... alright, we'll talk about those things later. Now we have to purify the Wolf of the North. Otherwise... even if he recovers, he will still be our enemy..."
"But, your stamina shouldn't support purification anymore, right?" Noelle asked with concern.
Su Han replied, "For this purification, I will only play a supporting role. Let Lumine purify him..."
"Really? Lumine has this kind of power? How come I didn't know..." Paimon looked very surprised.
And Lumine was also confused. Because Stormterror was currently imprisoned, they naturally didn't know about Lumine's special nature.
"Trust me, you can do it... and I will help you too..."
"Mm, I will try my best."
Subsequently, under Su Han's guidance, Lumine placed her hand on the Wolf of the North. The icy power still existed, but... it could no longer affect the outside world.
"So cold..." Lumine couldn't help but exclaim.
At this time, a large hand covered hers, and warmth drove away the cold.
Su Han whispered in her ear, "Close your eyes, concentrate... inject your power into his body..."
"Yes."
Lumine did as he said.
Soon, a stream of light was injected into Boreas's body. Lumine saw the darkness within him. She tried to expel it with her power. But that darkness was too strong, to the point where her light was about to be swallowed.
At this time, a purple power entered Boreas's body along the back of Lumine's hand.
The two powers converged. The power of darkness was quickly dispelled.
Ten minutes later, Lumine opened her eyes and found countless streams of black qi quickly emerging from his body.
If she guessed correctly, this was the power of the Abyss just now, right? Filthy. Evil. Heavy. Unimaginably disgusting.
However, what surprised Lumine was that Su Han's power just now made her like it very much. Clear. Gentle. Holy. Just feeling this power, she could understand what the person was like.
"Will the Wolf of the North wake up like this?"
"He should..."
"Sigh, after experiencing this, Mondstadt can be considered to have weathered the storm..."
As everyone was talking, Boreas finally opened his eyes. His ice-blue eyes revealed exhaustion.
"I'm sorry... people of Mondstadt, I was careless..."
"Eh? You're awake?"
"Yes. Originally, I was just sleeping for a long time. I felt someone start the trial, so I wanted to come out and move around a bit. But I didn't expect the visitors to be people from the Abyss. They threatened me with Razor... but I didn't yield. However, they had too many people. The power of the Abyss and Andrius's power made me fall into madness..."
Boreas recounted everything that had happened before.
In fact, he had been controlled since a few days ago. But this place was isolated from the world. Only the wolf boy Razor was active here. Naturally, no one knew. Finally, today, all of this was triggered.
Diluc asked, "Do you have any abnormalities now?"
"No... I feel very comfortable, except for some injuries..." Boreas shook his head.
As for the weakness, he didn't think much of it. Anyway, after a big battle, he would definitely be weak. He didn't know that his power had been stolen.
Finally, Diluc asked a few more questions, and the group prepared to leave.
However, Boreas pleaded, "There is a wolf child in the forest. I hope you can find and rescue him... those people only wanted to control me. They didn't hurt that child..."
"Alright, we will look for him..." Kaeya nodded and agreed to the request.
About half an hour later, Bennett finally found Razor under a rock. However, this child was in a miserable state. There were wounds all over his body. There were even traces of burns. However, it was fortunate that he was alive.
Returning to Mondstadt City, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared.
And Su Han's body had almost recovered. After all, he had the power of Asura's Chakra. His recovery speed was top-tier. Even his strength had recovered to forty percent.
However, after arriving in Mondstadt City, he was welcomed by the citizens. If Lisa hadn't said that the Lord Pope was very tired after defeating the Wolf of the North, he would probably be surrounded and unable to move now.
But even so, many people still presented flowers.
Su Han smiled bitterly at Jean. "Sometimes being too popular isn't a good thing..."
"That's right. Who told you to be the spiritual pillar of Mondstadt City now!" Jean replied with a smile.
