Su Yuan suddenly snapped his eyes open—once again, it was that familiar, unsettling feeling that made his heart race…
He lifted his left hand and looked at his palm.
There were still no markings, no engraved words, and he felt no pain…
But Su Yuan knew very clearly: he had already triggered a death rewind.
Looking at his surroundings, he realized that he and the others were currently on their way back to Mondstadt.
They had just experienced the monsters in the Spiral Abyss breaking free of their seal and spilling out, so they were hurrying to return and deliver the news to Jean.
Since Su Yuan was carrying Aether and Eula with him while flying in the sky, he could clearly sense that Aether's body was trembling uncontrollably, almost as if he were afraid of something…
"Aether, what's going on with you? Why do I feel like your body's shaking, almost like you're scared?"
Paimon, too, seemed to notice that something was off with Aether, and she asked in surprise:
"No way—Traveler, are you actually afraid of heights?"
"But before, when we flew and glided with wind gliders from such high places, you were never like this!"
"I'm fine. It's nothing serious. Let's hurry back to the Knights of Favonius. There's something very important I need to tell you all—and Master Jean."
"Alright then, if you're not afraid, I'm gonna speed up!!!"
Su Yuan said that as he pushed his Anemo power harder, accelerating their flight toward the Knights' headquarters.
After some time, the group finally arrived safely at the Knights of Favonius and gathered everyone in the meeting room, where they saw Jean.
Then Aether delivered a piece of extremely urgent and shocking news:
"The monsters that broke free of the seal inside the Spiral Abyss—it was all orchestrated by Dottore!!!"
"Not only that, Dottore also used a diversion tactic—on the surface, he made the monster army launch a massive assault on Falcon Coast. But in truth, he also dispatched a group of Hydro Slimes capable of moving underwater to launch a surprise attack between Starsnatch Cliff and Cape Oath!"
At this moment, everyone listening to Aether's explosive report looked at him, dumbfounded, not knowing what to say…
How did Aether know all this in such detail?
Normally, wasn't Su Yuan the one responsible for reporting this kind of battlefield intel before?
And as for Su Yuan, seeing Aether's expression, he also let out a sigh of relief…
It seemed that this time, Aether still had the ability to foresee everything…
That being the case, as long as they followed Aether's arrangements, nothing would go wrong…
At this moment, Su Yuan also couldn't help but quietly complain in his heart.
Clearly, things like this should be done by the protagonist himself, right?
Wasn't Aether stealing a bit of his spotlight right now?
But Su Yuan also understood—this was just a playful complaint.
He wasn't that petty.
What mattered most was fighting against the Eerie force and Dottore, and protecting everyone's safety…
"Although those monsters have all been corrupted and controlled by the Eerie powers, they don't have intelligence. That's the only reason we can barely deal with them…"
Jean spoke with a thoughtful tone:
"But Dottore will be leading the monsters to attack Mondstadt from two directions… With the manpower we have now, it would already be fortunate if we could defend just one place…"
"Master Jean, we don't need to think that much. As long as we concentrate all our forces at Falcon Coast, that will be enough!"
"As for the beach at Starsnatch Cliff, there will naturally be someone else holding back the monsters' assault and hindering Dottore's plan!"
"In today's Mondstadt, do we really have such strong allies? Why do I know nothing about this?" Jean asked in puzzlement.
"Yeah, who could that person be?" Su Yuan also raised his own question.
"That person is the Wanderer!" Aether said.
"His choice to obstruct those monsters isn't really to help us—it's simply to oppose Dottore, to disgust him…"
"And, Su Yuan, there's one more thing…" Aether looked at Su Yuan and continued, "I've learned the whereabouts of Albedo and Xiao. They're most likely at the sword grave seal in the middle of the lake in Dadaupa Gorge!"
Hearing this news, everyone was overjoyed.
If they could rescue Xiao and Albedo—both hostages—from the Wanderer's grasp, then the Wanderer would no longer be able to use them for threats and coercion!
Thus, after a round of brief and swift battle planning, Su Yuan and Aether immediately set out for the sword grave seal in Dadaupa Gorge, preparing to rescue Albedo and Xiao…
Meanwhile, Jean joined forces with Cyrus, the Guildmaster of the Adventurers' Guild, rallying the strength of the Knights of Favonius and the adventurers to hold the line at Falcon Coast against the monsters surging out from the Spiral Abyss!
Aether's heart at this moment was filled with determination.
With so much preparation in place, they shouldn't be caught off guard again, right?
Although Su Yuan was coming along with him to rescue Xiao and Albedo—meaning he couldn't coordinate with Klee for aerial fire support—with Dvalin's help, it shouldn't make much of a difference!
The top priority now was to rescue Xiao and Albedo!!!
Aether knew he could simply use a Teleport Waypoint to instantly reach the area near Dadaupa Gorge.
However, since Su Yuan couldn't use the waypoints, Aether decided, for safety's sake, to act together with him…
But Su Yuan replied:
"Aether, you go ahead through the Teleport Waypoint first. I'll be right behind you."
"But Su Yuan, aren't you unable to reliably use Teleport Waypoints?" Aether asked with some concern.
"I've got an idea I want to test. If it doesn't work, you can just teleport back here anyway, right?" Su Yuan answered.
Aether nodded, saying nothing more, then took Paimon and teleported to the area near Dadaupa Gorge.
Not long after, Su Yuan's figure suddenly appeared there as well—through the Teleport Waypoint!
"Whaaat? Su Yuan, you can use the Teleport Waypoints now???" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
"Mm." Su Yuan nodded and said, "Looks like the idea in my mind was correct…
Only when there's no one else around can I use the Teleport Waypoints!"
Afterward, Su Yuan and Aether infiltrated Dadaupa Gorge, which was crawling with hilichurls and monsters…
Although there were many monsters and hilichurls here, thankfully they hadn't been corrupted or controlled by the Eerie powers.
Even if they were spotted, it wasn't much of an issue—with Su Yuan and Aether's strength, they could easily handle it!
Before long, Su Yuan and Aether arrived at the sword grave seal.
Inside the massive tree hollow, they saw two familiar figures lying unconscious—none other than Xiao and Albedo!!!
