Chapter 55 Appearance.
The resistance of the tiny creature seemed to bring dissatisfaction to the huge demon in the sea. Osel raised his snake head and let out a piercing roar.
The sound waves hit the sea surface, stirring up one weak demon after another sleeping on the seabed. Some were like deep-sea magic whales, swallowing and biting sea water and fish and shrimp with sharp teeth, rushing to the shore. Others had eighteen eyes, shaped like octopuses, sticking their heads out to slap the sea surface, controlling their tentacles to strangle all living things around them.
The waves in the sea are constantly surging. They may not be able to defeat the huge vortex demon. They were once defeated by the rock god Morax and sealed for a thousand years. However, the anger and resentment after awakening will still support them to take revenge on the believers of their mortal enemies.
The terrifying atmosphere deepened layer by layer. Xiao held his spear and looked down at the sea monster rushing towards the shore with a serious expression:
"I am not good at fighting on the sea. Once they all approach the coast, I am afraid I can only try my best to hold back most of them."
Ganyu breathed a sigh of relief, lifted Amos up, and recalled the war she had fought under the leadership of the Rock God. Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit: "My bow and arrow can still hold them back for quite some time."
Xiao is silent. After being sealed for too long, the followers of these demons no longer exist, and they have also lost most of their power of faith. Although Osair's strength has been strangely raised to its peak state at that time, the strength of the other sea monsters is not out of reach.
But even so, with just the two of them...
Well, even if the price is higher, he will never let these former losers destroy Liyue, which the Emperor has spent so much effort on.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao jumped off the Jade Pavilion and ran towards the coastline.
At the same time, a large number of portals suddenly appeared on the platforms supporting the four return terminals. Countless soldiers of the Fatui launched attacks continuously, intending to destroy one of them and stop the actions of the immortals against Osel.
He stepped into it with his body supported, and swung at the enemy with sword energy mixed with elements.
Paimon was hanging in the corner as usual, looking at Sora who always protected her behind him with a sense of self-blame and worry.
...If she had not been caught by the Golden King Beast that suddenly appeared in the Golden House, would Sora have more energy to deal with the danger now?
Fortunately, with the support of the Thousand Winds Army and Keqing's extremely fast Thunder Wedge, the situation was barely maintained on the edge of a balance.
Although the health of Return to the End was reduced bit by bit from time to time, it was always maintained at a usable safety line.
The light blue, cyan, red and golden brown forces were constantly intertwined, and the power of the four beast-shaped immortals was condensed and compressed again and again, impacting the demon god in the distance. The five huge snake bodies were knocked back unnaturally by the sudden energy, and no one knew how much blood it had lost.
…
After another elemental explosion cleared the scene, Sora stood there, covering his injured right arm with one hand while looking down into the distance.
The weather became worse and worse due to the power of the devil. It rained heavily, hitting the sea like a line of fire. Then white mist continued to rise. The sea monster twisted the ground in the meantime, pressing low above the sea, making unintelligible hissing sounds.
Kong took advantage of the gap during the Fatui's attack to recover his strength as quickly as possible, and his expression finally relaxed a little. Keqing also stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the power of the immortals combined with the final chance can still suppress this demon. If we keep attacking like this...
"careful--!!"
Paimon's trembling voice rang out from a distance, and a dark red blade light appeared and slashed hard at Kong's back.
Out of trust and intuition from years of combat experience, Sora suddenly took a step forward, trying to avoid the direction where he guessed the attack was coming from.
But his legs, which had already become somewhat weak, obviously could not keep up with the instructions of his brain. His movements slowed down by half a second, and his body tilted only half as much as expected. The crackling sound penetrated the fabric and hit his back.
A piercing yet familiar pain spread throughout his body, and Sora fell forward a few steps in a daze out of inertia.
The sound of swords clashing could be heard from behind. Keqing, in her outburst, forced the invisible debt handler to reveal himself, and then kicked him cleanly away.
“Tsk.”
That's annoying.
Keqing looked around irritably at the Fools who kept pouring in and at Sora who was obviously in a bad condition and now injured again. Anxiety and uneasiness surged into her heart again.
The wound on his back continued to ooze blood, and was mercilessly hit by the cold rain. He staggered to the edge of the platform in two steps, only to feel his body getting colder and colder. The sound of tinnitus in his ears gradually rang, blocking his senses.
His gaze fell weakly in the direction of another battlefield near the coastline. The aura of the demon god was far beyond the endurance of mortals. The Qianyan Army soldiers who had been trying to rush to the front line were sternly rebuked by their leader who had received the order and ordered to retreat.
Xiao and Ganyu cooperated with the army's crossbows to hold back the weak demons who were the first to rush to Liyue Harbor, but the tide of sea monsters that were controlled to swim towards Liyue Harbor in the distance was still endless, and the dark pressure was overwhelming, and the surging sea water raised wave after wave of despair.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like a downpour. Even Osel seemed to taste the fear coming from humans. He slowly lifted up the fallen snake body and, like an irresistible beast, launched ring after ring of terrifying sonic attacks like a whirlpool towards the direction of the Jade Pavilion.
The humming sound of the whistle echoed in Sora's mind, and from behind he could hear the sound of the fools who were caught off guard and bombarding the terminal with guns and artillery.
Kong turned around and looked at the Return Machine under the feet of the white fairy deer, which was already beginning to show cracks. The energy storage of the fairies was also interrupted by this, and the coldness of complete powerlessness once again climbed up every inch of Kong's skin.
The situation is like a dead tree broken by a storm or a piece of bent straw. Just a little more force will completely destroy everything.
At the moment when Kong was in a trance, the machine shattered completely under the feet of the white fairy deer. Time seemed to freeze, and a man with white hair suddenly appeared in it. Countless pieces of the machine were completely crushed by the opponent's shoes, and then passed by his feet and flew around.
It was like the transformation of that beautiful fairy deer, and the blue and white antlers growing above its long hair were still surrounded by a faint icy mist.
Bright mysterious lines flowed on his forehead, the corners of his eyes were red, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his watery eyelashes occasionally hid alluring power and conspiracy. In the end, all that was left was the ruthless coldness in the face of the demon and the unhappiness after his spell was interrupted.
The approaching soldiers of the Fatui were suddenly pushed back by the sudden splash of debris, and their eyes fell on the originally blocked, wounded, and already somewhat dazed Sora, and their expressions became even more unhappy.
His white robe fluttered, and the folding fan appeared from the air along his raised wrist and clasped into the palm of his hand. The neat and decisive flow of water turned into ink, waving away the miscellaneous soldiers on the field.
Following the arc drawn by the white jade bracelet, the folding fan in Yiran's hand was unfolded, her hair was blown, and the light blue in her eyes seemed more ancient and mysterious.
The originally pouring rain fell slower and slower, and finally stagnated in the air. It seemed to be attracted by the power of the immortal on the platform, and continuously gathered on the fan, forming a huge water ball. It was then stirred by the force of the rotation, and finally exploded into water mist following his gesture, and scattered over the entire Qun Yu Pavilion.
The mist contained extremely strong healing and amplifying energy, and it rushed towards the injured Qianyan Army and Kong in the Qun Yu Pavilion.
As if carrying the care and protection of countless wills, the mist turned into a scintillation-blue light the moment it touched Sora, washing and healing his wounds at an extremely fast speed and soothing his spirit.
Kong raised his hands in shock, and the light spot seemed to be a kind of vitality visible to the naked eye, which instantly restored the torn flesh on his arms and back to their original state without a trace of damage. His originally desperate will was soothed by the coolness, and he even consciously increased the elemental damage to more than twice the level.
He raised his head and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person, the Chamber of Commerce president who seemed to have accompanied him all the way, or the fairy deer under the peach forest, Bai Yiran.
The other person's expression softened a bit, and his cold demeanor finally melted away like the first snow. He smiled apologetically:
"This is the help that should have been given to you. I'm sorry that I came a little late... Please help to continue to hold back those fools who are disturbing the immortals."
Not understanding the inexplicable apology, Sora, whose brain had already short-circuited, nodded, glanced at the portal of the Fatui who had not disappeared yet, and transformed into the Invincible Sword again.
“??? Ahhhhh what did I see!!”
"President?!!!"
"The president is an immortal?!!"
"You told me they were a person? No, a deer??"
"No wonder this fairy deer seemed to know us before, showing us the way and giving us gifts."
"Is it because we are friends with Ibai in Mondstadt that we have an initial favorability bonus? It turns out that President Ichiran has been helping us all along!"
"Sharp Explosion ()"
"Oh my god, that handsome guy just now blew up the beauty and transformed me into a beautiful woman. I licked her and licked her."
"Who understands! Who understands what I saw! The ultimate CG, the ultimate animation!"
"What a strong impact... the white hair wetted by the rain, the delicate antlers like an immortal, the misty eyes and patterns, the mastery of the water element..."
"I'm really dead, the country please give me a husband like this, I'm a student party member, let me get it first!"
"I can't explain it, but the move where the rain is frozen, gathered into a water ball, and then dispersed into water mist by changing yin and yang like Tai Chi, coach, I want to learn it!!!"
"President, I admit that you are quite pretty. If I were 20, I would pursue you without hesitation. If I were 30, I would give up my family to be with you. But I'm really sorry. I'm only in the third grade now. I'm overwhelmed by homework, so I can cheat..."
"Ahem! Stop it, or you might scare my wife!"
"He really pokes my nose in his mouth! When the president was still a human, he seemed so gentle and elegant, but when he just transformed from a fairy deer and looked at the demon god with antlers, his eyes were so cold, with an inviolable and distant look on his face! It reminds me of the line in Dream of the Red Chamber, "No matter how ruthless, you can still be moving." "
"Although, President Ichiran seemed to have a cold look only when the return terminal was broken and he was looking at the demon god. He also seemed to be in a bad mood when he found that Master was injured. When Sora recovered later, the president smiled so softly, okay?!!
"So what does that phrase 'the help that should have been there' mean? Why do you look so sorry when you were accidentally stabbed by some stupid fools?"
"I used fire, and I told him straight, he liked me."
"... Stop talking, and calm down if you're sick. The situation is getting more and more dangerous! Where did you put such a big Osel?!"
"That vortex-like sound wave is getting closer and closer!! President, please save me!"
Under the force of rules that surged from the noisy bullet screen, Yiran smiled faintly, a bamboo flute appeared in his hand, he fiddled with the soft blue and white feathers, waiting for the wind to blow from his friends far away.
On the beach by the coast, Wendy transformed from a wind elf into a young boy. The pressure from the horde of demons instantly rushed towards his body, and he was almost scared to the point that he couldn't keep his beloved hat on.
"call……"
Wendy turned the flute in her hand, which also contained powerful magic, and complained:
"Why is there such a big fuss? Are those two guys so fearless? And they said they just asked me to play the flute. My poor and weak Wendy is not a martial god like the old man..."
Ge Chenlangshi, holding the guqin, walked closer step by step, looking at Xiao Shangxian and Ganyu who were still fighting hard to stop the sea monsters on the other side.
He said helplessly: "Your Excellency the Wind God, although Master Yinyuan Tawu only said that he would give you a box of special wine...
But the Emperor is missing now. If you can help hold back the demons in the sea, the Seven Stars of Liyue and all the immortals will thank you with the greatest reward in the future."
Wendy coughed twice and her expression gradually became focused.
Even though he was not happy about a certain god pretending to be dead and retiring early and getting a job as an immortal in Liyue with a certain guy and wanting to expose his fake identity...but since it concerns the Demon God and the people of a country, he will do his best to help.
