"This is the judgment of the Electro Element of fate! All ignorant fools who dare to obstruct Our Path shall perish in the Electro Element!"
Fischl's eyes burned with fervor as she drew her bowstring taut, aiming directly at the Hilichurls scurrying around.
"—The Arrow of Retribution, descend!"
"Whoosh—!"
An Electro Element arrow shot through the air, accurately striking a Rocket Hilichurl that was covering its eyes and retreating helplessly, instantly knocking it to the ground.
Immediately after, a second and a third arrow followed.
Electro Element spread among the Hilichurls.
As Electro Element light intertwined, the Hilichurls' wails echoed through the temple.
"This... isn't this too easy?!"
Paimon watched, dumbfounded, as Fischl took down Hilichurls one by one as if she were target shooting, dispatching each disoriented Hilichurl.
"What kind of ability is this?!"
Amber was equally surprised, her gaze immediately turning to Lin Mo, utterly astonished.
With just a flick of his hand, he could make the clustered Hilichurls completely lose their fighting capability, as if they had been put out of commission.
Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, "I just caused them a small visual problem."
"Don't just stand there; shoot your arrows, just like Fischl."
"Let's take care of these Hilichurls first."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Amber paused.
But she quickly nodded.
Seizing the opportunity, she drew her bow and shot an arrow imbued with Pyro power.
"Looks like I don't need to step in."
Seeing this, Lumine scratched her head.
And at this very moment.
Fischl was completely immersed in the thrill of battle.
Her hands continuously drew the bow, sending Electro Element arrows like a tempest towards the enemy horde.
With Oz assisting by unleashing Electro Element power, she practically controlled the entire battlefield.
"Hahaha! Our Path is destined to break through the darkness and usher in the dawn!"
"You wicked creatures of darkness, repent in the Electro Element!"
Fischl's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and she seemed to truly transform into the "Prinzessin der Verurteilung," reveling in this exhilarating hunt.
As Hilichurls fell one after another, the temple battlefield gradually quieted down.
A moment later, Fischl gently lowered her bow, her eyes still gleaming with unspent excitement.
"Hmph hmph, as expected, under the guidance of fate, victory belongs to Us."
"...Her meaning is, 'Well done.'"
Oz, who had also stopped, provided a timely translation.
Everyone: "..."
Looking at the messy scene of dead Hilichurl bodies scattered across the ground, Lumine, Paimon, and Amber were all silent.
They had never imagined that one day they could so easily deal with clustered Hilichurls.
"Lin Mo, your power is truly amazing!"
Paimon's eyes sparkled with starlight, so excited that her wings were almost flapping.
Paimon circled around Lin Mo, unable to help but exclaim, "It feels like anyone is super strong when they team up with you!"
"If Lumine fought with you, wouldn't her battles be effortless?"
Lumine paused slightly, her heart instantly stirring.
Looking at the Hilichurls scattered and fallen in the distance, she recalled Lin Mo's flick of the hand, which instantly rendered all enemies incapable of fighting.
Then Fischl effortlessly cleared the battlefield.
If it were her... wouldn't the difficulty of outdoor battles drop by several levels?
She looked down at her tightly gripped longsword, silent for a moment.
What exactly was this ability of Lin Mo's?
It was definitely not elemental power.
Not only Lumine, but Amber's eyes were also shining brightly as she stared at Lin Mo: "Lin Mo, your two abilities are simply the best aid for a Reconnaissance Knight!"
As she spoke, Amber excitedly patted Lin Mo's shoulder, speaking very quickly: "One can make teammates move faster, which improves efficiency for reconnaissance and travel!"
"One can temporarily incapacitate monsters, suitable for ambushes, suitable for escapes, suitable for all reconnaissance operations!"
Amber grew more and more excited, clenching her fists and eagerly saying, "Lin Mo, once we get out, would you be willing to join the Knights of Favonius? And partner with me on missions?"
As soon as she said this, the surroundings instantly quieted for a moment.
Before Lin Mo could speak, Fischl's expression instantly froze.
Her purple eyes widened slightly.
Then she crossed her arms, puffing out her cheeks in a huff, "No—!"
Fischl straightened her back, her cloak billowing in the wind, looking like a princess about to declare a policy to her kingdom.
"My loyal subject can only fight alongside Me!"
Lumine and Paimon exchanged glances, full of question marks.
Amber blinked: "Huh?"
"You shall not attempt to poach My subordinate!"
Fischl frowned slightly, her eyes filled with the light of "I've long seen through your schemes."
She vigorously swung the bow in her hand.
Purple Electro Element light flickered at her fingertips, as if asserting her sovereignty.
Fischl straightened her back, hands on her hips, and proudly declared: "Lin Mo is a member of the Fate Navigator, and should advance alongside Me, embarking together on an adventure across the world!"
Oz silently added a translation from the side: "The Young Lady means that Lin Mo is her Adventurer partner and will not accept being poached by the Knights of Favonius."
Looking at Fischl, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle.
Is Fischl's possessiveness that strong?
Paimon, however, blinked, stroked her chin, and said thoughtfully, "Oh~ So he's an Adventurer companion? But..."
Paimon leaned closer to Lin Mo, lowering her voice, "How's the Adventurer's pay? Why don't we, after we return to Mondstadt, have Lumine join the Adventurers' Guild, and then we can work on missions together."
"Not bad."
Lin Mo chuckled softly.
He casually raised his hand and flicked Fischl's forehead, causing the princess, who was full of chuunibyou aura, to pause slightly.
Then she covered her forehead, looking at him with a huff.
Seeing this, Amber also couldn't help but laugh.
She shook her head and said, "Alright, since you're fellow Adventurers, I won't press the matter, but..."
Amber's eyes flickered slightly: "If you ever change your mind, the doors of the Knights of Favonius are always open for you."
Amber had already thought of something.
The Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt could sometimes assist the Knights of Favonius.
As long as Lin Mo was in Mondstadt, there would definitely be opportunities for cooperation!
Lin Mo nodded slightly at Amber's words, without offering too much explanation.
Fischl, however, was already holding her head high with a triumphant expression.
She seemed to be showing off her "subject's loyalty" to Amber.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now."
Lumine broke the topic, her gaze returning to the depths of the temple, and quickly said, "Let's continue deeper; our objective is ahead."
Everyone came back to their senses.
Then, without further delay, they continued towards the deepest part of the temple.
With the blessings of Lin Mo's several Path skills—[Ripple], [You Are the Brightest], and [I Want to Help Too]—the group hurried along, easily dealing with the Hilichurls and monsters along the way.
Each attack brought forth stronger elemental fluctuations.
