Paimon: We definitely don't want to place an order at your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor! A monster of mere Hilichurl Bruiser level, the Traveler can definitely defeat it very easily.]
[Ningguang: Perhaps it won't be that simple. Luo Feng only said the Outer Universe Flame is equivalent to a Hilichurl Bruiser in the Universe, but he didn't say the Outer Universe Flame is equal to a Hilichurl Bruiser.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Indeed. Considering the entire star-filled Universe as a reference, perhaps the Outer Universe Flame is much stronger than a Hilichurl Bruiser.]
[Kaeya: An unknown enemy must be handled with caution. Little Paimon, you'd best remind the Traveler. It wouldn't be good if something big and troublesome happened accidentally.]
[Paimon: Is that really necessary? That Outer Universe Flame doesn't look very strong.]
[Chongyun: Earlier, when the Traveler fought Stormterror, she indeed showed remarkable strength. She should have no problem dealing with that Outer Universe Flame that doesn't look very imposing.]
[Dehya: A mere Outer Universe Flame, the aura it emits is too different from Stormterror's. The Traveler will definitely defeat it easily. Go, Traveler! I've bet my entire fortune on you!]
[Candace: Dehya, at least keep a little of your fortune.]
[Dehya: Hehe, after all, no matter how you look at it, this is an opportunity to earn mora.]
[Nilou: I, I also bet on the Traveler. Traveler, you must do your best!]
[Dinazad: Nilou, you actually participated in gambling?]
[Nilou: I... I just wanted to save up some more mora. That way, next time the Sabzeruz Festival comes, we can build a better stage.]
[Dinazad: It was for this...]
[Grand Sage Azar: Hmph!]
"Traveler, please be careful."
Acting Grand Master Jean watched the Traveler walking towards the Outer Universe Flame and said worriedly.
Barbara and Klee also looked at Lumine worriedly.
"Don't worry, I still have some strength."
Lumine gave Acting Grand Master Jean and the others a big smile, then took a large leap and rushed towards the Outer Universe Flame from the air.
"Taste this."
The Traveler condensed a swirling vacuum vortex in her hand, turning it into a powerful Anemo elemental impact that struck the Outer Universe Flame.
Such an attack, in the eyes of the Genshin from Teyvat, was a commendable strike.
However, when this commendable strike from the Teyvat people landed on the Outer Universe Flame...
The Tivat People were surprised to find that the attack did not cause any ripples on the Outer Universe Flame.
Lumine's eyes widened as she looked at the scene in disbelief.
But before she could even speak...
The Outer Universe Flame, which had been attacked, retaliated.
A giant fireball flew rapidly towards Lumine from between the Outer Universe Flame's hands.
As it drew closer, Lumine could even smell the scent of death from this fireball.
Damn it, this is not a monster of the Hilichurl Bruiser level at all.
Lumine cursed Luo Feng in her heart and quickly condensed vast Anemo elemental power onto her single-handed sword.
"Gust Surge!"
Lumine swung her blade fiercely towards the fireball in front.
The vast Anemo elemental power condensed on the sword transformed into a tornado about half a meter in diameter and ten meters long, colliding with the fireball in front.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang.
The energy of wind and fire caused a violent explosion in the air.
Lumine was also pushed backwards by the impact of the explosion.
[Dehya: Wait, is this development a bit off?]
[Arataki Itto: This Traveler was actually repelled by a Hilichurl Bruiser? Is she that weak?]
[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, the Traveler was able to summon the previous tornado, her strength is definitely not weak. The problem is that Outer Universe Flame.]
[Prince: Damn it, that's not a Hilichurl Bruiser at all!]
[Dori: Many people bet on the Traveler to win. Now it seems I, as the bookmaker, am going to make a fortune.]
[Nilou: G-Go, Traveler!]
"Traveler, are you okay?"
Paimon came to the Traveler's side and looked worriedly at Lumine, who was breathing heavily after landing on the ground.
"If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have let me fight that guy just now."
"What kind of ordinary monster is this?"
Lumine looked at the Outer Universe Flame directly in front, which was completely unaffected by the previous explosion, and complained.
Let alone being injured.
At this moment, the Outer Universe Flame was even condensing a stronger, larger fireball in its hands.
Its entire body was also engulfed in substantial flames.
As if any creature that approached it would be burned to ash.
"B-But Luo Feng said this Outer Universe Flame was very ordinary."
"I didn't know it was this strong."
Paimon finished speaking aggrievedly, then turned her head and glared fiercely at Luo Feng.
"I wasn't lying, Little Paimon."
"The Outer Universe Flame is indeed a very ordinary existence for the entire Universe."
"In fact, I even think comparing it to a Universe version of a Hilichurl Bruiser is overestimating it."
"Perhaps I should compare it to a slightly stronger Universe version of a Hilichurl."
Luo Feng said with a smile.
"What Universe version of a Hilichurl? You're deliberately making things difficult for us!"
Paimon stamped her foot and said.
"I'm not making things difficult for you."
"Besides, instead of chatting with me,"
"It's better to face the Outer Universe Flame properly."
"Look, its attack is already here."
Luo Feng said.
"What?"
Paimon turned her head in surprise and immediately saw a giant fireball already approaching.
"Be careful!"
Acting Grand Master Jean flashed in front of Paimon and, together with Lumine, channeled Anemo elemental power to disperse the giant fireball.
They prevented Paimon and Lumine from being blown away.
"Acting Grand Master Jean, you're helping too!"
Paimon said delightedly.
"This Outer Universe Flame is very strong."
"I think it's best if I contribute."
Acting Grand Master Jean nodded and glanced at the leisurely Luo Feng next to her.
Acting Grand Master Jean: "Luo Feng, it should be okay if I join this battle, right?"
Luo Feng: "Of course, no problem. My Blessing covers everyone present. Anyone who joins the battle will increase their probability of stepping onto a Path."
Barbara: "I'll help heal everyone."
Klee: "Klee wants to help too."
Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
He originally had no intention of letting the Traveler face the Outer Universe Flame alone.
The current Traveler is still very weak. Even against the Outer Universe Flame, it's impossible to do it with just their own strength.
From the start, Luo Feng planned to have Lumine, Jean, Barbara, and Klee work together to deal with the Outer Universe Flame.
And increase the probability of the four of them stepping onto a Path through battle.
For him, no matter which of the four steps onto a Path, he wouldn't lose out.
[Dori: The bet is over. Traveler vs. Outer Universe Flame. The loser is the Traveler. Hehe, thank you all for participating enthusiastically!]
[Dehya: Wait, the battle isn't over yet. Why did we lose?]
[Dori: The bet clearly states it's Traveler vs. Outer Universe Flame, not Traveler, Acting Grand Master Jean, and others vs. Outer Universe Flame. The moment Acting Grand Master Jean and others joined the fight, the Traveler lost.]
[Nilou: How could this happen! My stage!]
[Arataki Itto: Good thing I didn't place a bet.]
[Kuki Shinobu: You don't have any extra mora at all, boss.]
[Dori: Now opening a new bet: Traveler, Acting Grand Master Jean, Barbara, Klee vs. Outer Universe Flame. Please place your bets enthusiastically, hehehe.]
[Kaeya: The Traveler plus Acting Grand Master Jean and them? I think I can place a bet this time.]
[Ningguang: I'll just place a small bet of ten thousand mora on Acting Grand Master Jean and the others.]
[Yae Miko: Acting Grand Master Jean plus the cute Traveler, it's indeed worth betting on.]
[Dehya: Ten thousand mora?! Ningguang from Liyue is too rich! Both Ningguang from Liyue and Yae Miko from Inazuma are betting on Acting Grand Master Jean and the Traveler... Candace, lend me some mora.]
[Candace: ...]
[Furina: Hmph hmph, Neuvillette, help me place a bet too. I want to bet on Acting Grand Master Jean and them!]
[Neuvillette: Pay for it yourself.]
Luo Feng watched the Tivat People in the forum constantly betting on Acting Grand Master Jean and the Travelers to win, finding it increasingly interesting.
"Although the Outer Universe Flame is weak, that's only relative to the Universe."
"For the Teyvat Continent, it's still very strong."
"Should I also take this opportunity to place a bet, and buy the Outer Universe Flame to win?"
Luo Feng muttered.
