Seeing this, Lin Mo decisively cast another Ripple Path skill on Kaeya and Lisa, once again boosting their movement speed by 25%.
After the two quickly departed,
Amber said in a deep voice, "The terrifying storm covering Mondstadt and its surroundings hasn't dispersed yet. Let's act quickly. The sooner we resolve this, the sooner the people of Mondstadt can rest easy."
"Mm."
Hearing Amber's words, Paimon quickly nodded.
"Oh, ignorant mortals! How can you be so oblivious to the Path of destiny? What slumbers here is not just history, but countless wandering specters, awaiting Our arrival!"
Fischl took a deep breath, scanning the temple's entrance as she looked at the temple before her.
Her purple cloak fluttered slightly in the evening breeze, like a banner wildly waving in the night.
"Through the long years, this temple has long ceased to belong to the light; it has now become a breeding ground for darkness."
Fischl pointed towards the depths of the temple and said with firm eyes, "Destiny guides Us here to personally end this long-slumbering curse!"
"Uh..."
Paimon blinked, then whispered to Oz, "She... what is she even saying?"
Oz, the raven, slowly flapped his wings and translated in a steady tone, "My lady means for everyone to be vigilant, as there are definitely enemies lurking in this temple."
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Paimon suddenly understood and quickly nodded.
Immediately, Amber, Lin Mo, Lumine, Paimon, Fischl, and Oz stepped inside.
In an instant,
The surrounding scenery underwent a drastic change.
The temple was dark and deep.
Under the dim light, a hazy shadow lay ahead, as if even light itself had been swallowed.
The air carried a faint trace of Anemo Element, but this aura was unusually chaotic.
Clearly, this was no longer the sacred temple once blessed by the gods.
Instead, it resembled a ruin torn and eroded by a storm.
"The Anemo Element here... it's unstable."
Amber said in a low voice, her gaze profound.
Lumine nodded.
She slowly tightened her grip on her sword.
She could also feel the abnormality of the surrounding Anemo Element, as if it had been twisted by some force.
Immediately, the group ventured deeper.
The group walked slowly along the deep corridor inside the temple.
The stone floor was covered in dust accumulated over time, the air was filled with a faint musty smell, and broken colonnades cast intersecting shadows in the dim light.
The interior of the temple was even more expansive than they had imagined, as if they had entered a long-slumbering labyrinth.
As they proceeded, their view gradually widened.
The shattered main gate leading to the depths was in ruins, and the ancient runes carved on the doorframe were already blurred.
And the space beyond the door...
It was a vast new world!
The moment they stepped into this world, the immense space was fully revealed before their eyes.
Dim light filtered through the temple's broken dome, barely illuminating this once glorious hall.
Cracks covered the surrounding walls.
Many areas had even collapsed, with broken stone pillars lying across the ground.
Weathered fragments of statues were scattered everywhere.
It was as if this temple had once endured a great catastrophe.
This space was like a relic forgotten by time.
Amber narrowed her eyes, looking into the distance along the light.
Her gaze pierced through the scattered broken walls and accumulated debris, pointing directly to the depths of the temple.
She quickly widened her eyes and pointed to the highest point: "I can see... the deepest part of the temple! That's our objective!"
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing.
Indeed.
In the deepest part, a majestic high platform was faintly visible.
The aura there seemed even more solemn.
However, the Path to the high platform was not peaceful.
Large groups of Hilichurls were gathered in various open spaces throughout the temple.
"We need to deal with those Hilichurls first."
Seeing some Hilichurls and Slime monsters, Amber frowned and said, "Let's practice by taking care of the Hilichurl Shooter. You handle close combat, and I'll provide ranged support. Your Highness, let Oz unleash the power of the Electro Element to take care of the most troublesome ones first."
There were so many Hilichurl monsters.
There were even huge Hilichurl Guards, so they couldn't just charge in directly.
Chapter 61: My Condemnatory Lightning is Already Thirsty for Blood! Amber and Fischl Vie for Lin Mo, Lumine's Heart Stirred! Fischl's Possessiveness
Just as Amber was seriously formulating a battle plan, Fischl suddenly let out a light laugh.
Excitement gleamed in her purple pupils.
She raised her right hand, Electro Element subtly dancing at her fingertips, like a princess commanding the battlefield.
"Why such caution? This is a trial bestowed upon Us by destiny!"
Fischl gave a cold smile, her cloak fluttering in the temple's breeze.
Then she suddenly looked up at Lin Mo, "Do you not know that My condemnatory lightning is already thirsty for blood!"
"The guidance of destiny has already revealed that the forces of darkness shall be purged here!"
Lumine, Amber, Paimon: "???"
The three exchanged glances, momentarily unsure how to respond.
"Princess, her meaning is that we should stop beating around the bush and just charge in directly."
Oz translated thoughtfully, his wings fluttering slightly, seemingly accustomed to his mistress's chuunibyou remarks.
"Charge in directly?"
Paimon looked at several enormous Hilichurls in the distance, wielding fire axes and shields, and gasped.
Brute force might not be a good idea.
Even the axes thrown by those huge Fire Axe Hilichurls couldn't be dealt with instantly.
Amber also used a bow and arrow, so her close-combat ability was definitely not as good as Lumine's.
If so many Hilichurls surrounded them at once, with both attackers and shields,
Even if they could eventually resolve it, they would surely get injured.
But Lin Mo merely smiled faintly, making two flicking gestures with his hands.
Sampo's Path skill, "You're the Best!", instantly activated.
In a flash, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted around the Hilichurls and monsters in two areas!
The light burst forth like a scorching sun, instantly illuminating the entire temple hall!
"Owoo?!"
The Hilichurl Shooter, who hadn't yet reacted, was in the midst of raising its bazooka, preparing to attack.
But the next second, they let out strange cries, dropped their weapons, frantically rubbed their eyes with both hands, and scurried around in place.
Other Hilichurl monsters were not spared either.
They groped around aimlessly, wildly swinging their weapons.
Some Hilichurl Guards even crashed into each other and fell to the ground.
The entire battlefield instantly turned into a chaotic swarm of "headless flies."
"Ah hahaha! Precisely! This is Our fated battle!"
Seeing this scene, Fischl immediately burst into excited laughter.
She instantly drew her bow and nocked an arrow, Electro Element condensing on the arrow shaft, purple arcs of electricity dancing between the bowstring.
