Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

The power of this sword strike surprised even Lin Yide himself.

Since he had cultivated the Kitsune Intent Cultivation Secret Art to the Proficient level, he had mastered the ability to simultaneously manipulate three elemental powers.

Although the total amount of elements he could manipulate had not increased with the advancement of the cultivation secret art, when these three elements combined to produce Elemental Reactions, the destructive power unleashed far exceeded his expectations.

As expected, Elemental Reactions were truly the future mainstream of Teyvat.

He couldn't help but fantasize. If he were to continue improving the Kitsune Intent Cultivation Secret Art and then purchase a Pyro Vision from the system store, wouldn't he essentially become a "solo Raiden National" team?

Just as he was lost in thought, Scaramouche had scrambled awkwardly back to his feet from the ground, his eyes burning with malicious flames.

To gain power, he had endured endless pain and torment, willingly accepting Dottore's cruel modifications.

But now, he couldn't even defeat a lowly human!

This humiliation and resentment surged within his heart, tearing his spirit apart.

He resented fate, he resented the world!

His face twisted even more severely, becoming more monstrous and terrifying than vengeful ghosts.

Driven by madness, his aura surged dramatically. He seemed to transform into an ancient demon awakening from the nine levels of the abyss, emanating a bone-chilling presence.

The surrounding world seemed to sense this evil power. The sky suddenly darkened, and ominous clouds instantly covered the heavens, creating a scene like the end of the world.

"Yide, I will kill you!" he roared, his voice filled with endless hatred and killing intent.

In that moment, he resembled a malevolent spirit, his hands transforming into sharp demonic claws.

His figure moved swiftly like a phantom, rushing towards Lin Yide almost in an instant.

Those twisted hands instantly penetrated the sturdy shield composed of Cryo, Electro, and Hydro elements.

Facing this fierce attack, Lin Yide dared not be careless. He tightly gripped the black sword in his hand, wreathed in the three elements of Cryo, Electro, and Hydro, and fiercely defended.

The black sword and the demonic claws clashed countless times in an instant, emitting a series of intense "bang bang" sounds.

Driven by his fury, Scaramouche unleashed unprecedented power.

His attacks were as dense as a downpour, overwhelming his opponent.

Under this tempest-like assault, Lin Yide was forced into a complete defensive stance.

Gripping the black sword tightly, he blocked Scaramouche's attacks again and again with extraordinary reaction speed and exquisite swordsmanship.

However, as time passed, the situation began to undergo a subtle shift.

Scaramouche's tempest-like assault, which had been so fierce, began to show signs of waning.

His aura gradually weakened, the force of his attacks was less fierce than before, and his speed clearly decreased.

In contrast, Lin Yide, while defending, gradually found openings in Scaramouche's defense and began to launch sharp counterattacks.

After an hour of fierce engagement, Lin Yide suddenly realized his Elemental Burst was fully charged. "Scaramouche, it's time to put an end to this battle."

As his words fell, the three Visions at his waist began to flicker with unprecedented dazzling light.

In that instant, the Cryo, Electro, and Hydro elements of the world seemed to be drawn by some mysterious power, surging wildly and torrentially towards the black sword.

These elements swirled and merged on the sword blade, finally transforming into an enormous elemental greatsword nearly a hundred meters long.

This sword emanated a terrifying presence, as if it could cleave through any obstacle.

This was Lin Yide's Elemental Burst—the Sword of Absolute Severance.

This single strike could inflict a hundred times Lin Yide's own attack power in an instant.

Scaramouche felt a threat he had never experienced before.

His body instinctively wanted to flee, but it was too late.

He looked up and saw the sword light, like a judgment sword descending from the heavens, slashing directly down at him.

He stared blankly at the approaching sword light, a sense of powerlessness surging within him.

Subconsciously, he closed his eyes, awaiting fate's judgment.

Yet, in this moment of life and death, his heart suddenly grew calm.

Perhaps, this was the best ending for the ridiculous life he had always struggled through.

However, in the instant the sword light was about to touch Scaramouche's forehead, it miraculously changed direction, just grazing past him.

"Boom!"

The Sword of Absolute Severance collided heavily with the ground, triggering an earth-shattering explosion.

The power of this explosion was like a small atomic bomb detonating. At the explosion's center, a pink mushroom cloud instantly billowed upwards, soaring straight into the sky.

The earth trembled in violent shaking, quaking at this destructive power.

The aftermath of the explosion swept through everything within a ten-mile radius with devastating force, leaving nothing untouched in its path.

When the smoke and dust gradually cleared, a massive crater tens of meters deep was strikingly revealed.

And Scaramouche, who had been at the explosion's center, was already on the verge of death, fallen into a deep coma.

His entire body was a bloody mess, with hardly an intact spot to be found.

Lin Yide walked up to him, picked him up, and slowly walked towards the forge at Tatarasuna.

At this moment, the long-unheard system voice sounded. "Congratulations, Host, on completing the Trial Event—Defeating the Fatui's Sixth Harbinger, Scaramouche. You have gained 1600 Trial Points."

Hearing this, Lin Yide pursed his lips and glanced down at Scaramouche with disdain.

This guy is only worth 1600 Trial Points?

Originally, he had planned to use the Trial Points to buy a Sweet Madame from the system to feed him. Now, it seems he can only spend 50 Trial Points to buy a Strange Wonton to fob him off.

...

After who knows how long, Scaramouche painstakingly opened his eyes in a weakened state.

The intense pain throughout his body made him couldn't help but groan aloud.

He looked around and found himself lying in a dark, secluded room.

Across from the room, Lin Yide sat quietly beside a bonfire, his hands idly handling a claymore that looked quite familiar.

"You're finally awake?" Lin Yide noticed Scaramouche's movement and asked casually.

Scaramouche replied coldly, "Why didn't you just kill me?"

Lin Yide chuckled softly and said disdainfully, "There's no pleasure for me in killing a useless piece of trash and an idiot."

Scaramouche didn't get angry again, but instead laughed self-mockingly. "Hahahaha, I am indeed a useless piece of trash, but I am not an idiot."

Lin Yide didn't retort. Instead, he threw the claymore in his hand before him and asked, "Do you know the name of this claymore?"

Scaramouche gazed at the sword blade, his brow furrowed as if certain unpleasant memories had been stirred. He replied coldly, "Daitatara Nagamasa."

Lin Yide shook his head calmly. "That was its past name. Now, it is called Katsuragikiri Nagamasa."

Hearing this new name, Scaramouche couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh. "That's truly ridiculous. Nagamasa was the one who severed Katsuragi, yet now it bears this name? Isn't that laughable?"

"Heh," Lin Yide glanced at him coldly. "Then do you know why Mikoshi Nagamasa severed the head of his dearest subordinate, Katsuragi, back then?"
