Chapter 374 The Liberation of the Evil Eye
For travelers traveling across the world, there are two easiest ways to become stronger: one is to master more energy, and the other is to fight powerful enemies.
The first point, she had already achieved it when she came to Liyue. The Seven-Day Statue of Liyue allowed her to master the elemental power of rock, which greatly enhanced her strength compared to when she was in Mondstadt.
The second point was something she had also experienced, which was the battle in the memory space.
The Sustainer of Heaven's Law, the Lord of the Sky in the Past, and the Last Executor of the Fatui, she can challenge these three once a week, for a total of three times.
Although they were all defeated without exception, and only the weak Wind Dragon allowed her to hold on for a little longer, it was still a great progress for her.
"What……"
Tartaglia used the water element shield to block the blue tornado, but when the blue elemental force that blocked his vision disappeared, he saw Ying's right hand waving towards him.
"Desolate Star!"
The next moment, rock elemental force condensed on the ground and instantly lifted Tartaglia into the air.
Seeing Tartaglia lose his balance in the air, Ying jumped up directly, covered the sword with the elemental force of rock, increasing the impact force and physical attack power of the blade, and smashed it heavily on Tartaglia.
boom--
Tartaglia was instantly knocked down and hit the ground.
On the health bar above his head that seemed like an illusion, Ying saw his health bar being emptied in an instant.
"Well done traveler~"
Paimon flew to Ying happily.
"……wrong!"
At this moment, Ying discovered something unusual and quickly raised her hand to stop Paimeng behind her.
"Not bad, not bad. There are indeed some tricks. It's worth my taking it more seriously."
His voice was heard again amidst the dust raised by Tartaglia's fall.
At the same time, the health bar seen in Ying's eyes was refilled and the words on it also changed.
[Son]
[Evil Eye Liberation]
"Stage 2... all the Fatui executives can reach Stage 2?"
Seeing this scene, Ying said in some surprise.
At this time, lightning burst out from the dust, and Tartaglia, whose weapon changed from a bow and arrow to a purple double-headed sword, rushed towards Ying.
At this time, Tartaglia was already wearing the Fatui mask that he had been wearing on the side of his head, and the power in his body also changed from the water elemental force just now to pure lightning elemental force.
Under the influence of the element of thunder, his speed and strength were both increased to a higher level. This time it was Ying's turn who almost failed to react.
stab-
Ying tried her best to dodge, but she was still a little slow. The double-headed sword of the lightning element directly cut through the hem of Ying's skirt.
Although she didn't expose herself, she still felt a little distressed.
The clothes she was wearing were actually made by her and her brother when they were traveling, so she rarely changed into other clothes.
"I'm sorry, I'll try not to embarrass you."
Realizing that it seemed impolite to destroy a girl's clothes during a battle, Tartaglia apologized, then split the two-handed sword in his hand in the middle, turning it into two daggers and continued to attack Ying with both hands.
With the evil eye released, his speed is almost enough to gain the upper hand and suppress Ying.
"..."
Although Ying had already confirmed that Tartaglia's attack was far inferior to the three in the recollection space, it was still very tricky. If she was not careful, she might be injured by the dagger with lightning element in his hand.
Moreover, he has a peculiar way of moving that is almost teleportation, so it is difficult for Ying to hit him.
As a last resort, Ying decided to put in a little more effort to restrict Tartaglia's movements as much as possible.
"Turn into dust!"
After blocking Tartaglia's dagger, Ying immediately took the opportunity to gather the elemental power of rock under his feet.
The next moment, the elemental force of rock was transmitted from the soles of her feet to the ground and quickly spread on the ground.
"?!"
Tartaglia looked down and found that the spreading rock elemental force had formed rock creations that covered him from the soles of his feet to his calves, like a candied haws covered with a layer of light yellow syrup.
And when the rock elemental force spread to the extreme distance, a large number of rock creations were formed, surrounding them together, as if forming a gladiatorial arena.
Tartaglia, whose movements were blocked, suddenly fell into a disadvantage. With the help of the heavy properties of the rock element, Ying made the Dawn Sword in his hand have a powerful impact like a two-handed giant sword, and almost shattered the weapon in Tartaglia's hand that was gathered by elemental power.
"Desolate Star!"
Ying finally threw a desolate planet at Tartaglia, which directly knocked Tartaglia away and also shattered the rock structure that restrained him.
"Oh, I didn't expect you had a hidden trick..."
"But that's it."
Tartaglia, who was knocked flying by Huangxing, stopped abruptly in the air and pushed Huangxing, who was taller than a man, aside.
"Ok?"
It was only at this time that Ying and Paimon realized the problem. The position where Tartaglia was staying in the air was right in front of the huge immortal ancestor's magic shell at the innermost part of the golden house.
When they arrived at the Golden House, before they had time to check on the Immortal Ancestor's transformation, Dadalia had already appeared.
"He actually took advantage of his disadvantage to get closer to the Immortal Ancestor's Transformation?"
Paimon's eyes widened. He didn't expect that his attempt to stop Tartaglia from getting close to the Immortal Ancestor's transformation would suddenly fail.
"Don't make a fuss like a rookie. This kind of thing is just a piece of cake for those who have been through many battles."
Tartaglia answered as a matter of course. At this distance, he was sure that Ying was too late to stop him from obtaining the Heart of God.
He simply raised his hand, gathering the power of the Evil Eye in his hand, and performed the move that the Ice Queen had taught them specifically for seizing the Heart of God, and directly penetrated his hand into the Immortal Ancestor's magic shell.
This move is specifically used to seize the Heart of God. Even if God falls for it, he may not be able to resist it. But if there is no Heart of God, it will not cause any harm to people. For example, the servant Alechino once used this move to take out Finnina's heart, but he gained nothing and did not hurt Finnina.
"Then I will take Morax's Heart of God..."
With a triumphant voice, Tartaglia forcefully pulled the object in his hand out from inside the Immortal Ancestor's transformation.
"..."
"...?"
When Tartaglia pulled out the object, he, Ying, and Paimon fell into silence.
That was... a fried egg? And it was a moldy fried egg!
“Is this… the Heart of God?”
Paimon scratched his head and asked uncertainly.
When she was in Mondstadt before, the Lady turned her into ice as soon as she appeared, so she never saw what Wendy's Heart of God looked like.
"I don't think so."
Ying shook her head. She remembered that Wendy’s Heart of God didn’t look like this.
“I don’t think so either…”
Tartaglia had also seen and even touched the Heart of God of his own queen, so he was sure that this moldy thing was not the Heart of God.
Could it be that Morax hasn’t digested his last meal yet?
