"Yes, [Meteor]."

Bronya nodded, and then...

Under Ying's questioning gaze, he pulled something out from under the bed that looked extremely familiar to her.

"This is the one that knocked you out."

"..."

Looking at the familiar object in Bronya's hand, Ying remained silent for a moment, then felt her vision go black and she fainted again.

"Huh? Ying!"

As Bronya watched the glowing figure gradually slide off the bed, she panicked. How could she have fainted again so soon after waking up?

"Boom!"

Bronya instantly tossed the "big stick" aside and hurriedly pressed the call button...

Chapter Thirty-Three: Wind Demon Dragon

At this moment, outside Mondstadt, the ancient Liyue poem, "Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to crush it," has been vividly presented to the people of Mondstadt.

In the storm brewing high in the sky, a "demonic dragon" is stirring up trouble, its scarlet eyes fixed on Mondstadt on the earth...

"It's Stormterror! Stormterror is here again! Everyone, quickly hide inside the house!"

Mondstadt was instantly placed on high alert. All civilians outside returned to their buildings for refuge under the command of the Knights of Favonius. Some knights outside were also urgently recalled. Countless eyes were anxiously peering through the windows at the inky black clouds, only to be pulled back by others who then blocked the view out of the windows with nails and planks.

At this moment, Mondstadt was facing its most perilous situation.

With its current strength, Mondstadt is utterly powerless to resist the rampage of the Stormterror. Those huddled in their rooms can only whisper prayers to Barbatos, the wind god, begging for Mondstadt's protection to survive this calamity...

Inside the Knights of Favonius, Grand Master Jean frowned, and through the office window, the dark sky seemed to threaten to engulf the office lights.

"Qin..."

Lisa looked at the piano, its face full of sorrow, and frowned slightly.

They had thought that cutting off the energy supply to the Stormterror in the Temple of the Four Winds would stop its rampage, but now it seemed that... the Stormterror's power had far exceeded their expectations.

After only a few days of calm, it suddenly returned with a vengeance, its destructive power even stronger than before.

"It seems... we still need to think of other solutions. Let's just hope the losses this time can be minimized..."

Qin's expression looked somewhat forlorn.

The Knights of Mondstadt are currently incomplete, with most of their forces taken away by Grand Master Falgar. The forces remaining in Mondstadt are severely insufficient, making it somewhat difficult to defeat Stormterror head-on.

She still didn't want to use those powers unless it was a truly dire situation...

"Don't we still have that [Trail Blazer]? Maybe she can bring us some surprises."

Lisa comforted Qin.

"But...she has no reason to fight for Mondstadt, does she?"

Qin shook her head and turned around again, her gaze seemingly trying to pierce through the clouds and look directly at the evil dragon stirring up trouble within.

Outside Mondstadt, on the Mondstadt Bridge.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the city's knights, a tall figure disregarded the raging wind and rain, seemingly unaffected by the violent wind elements, as if passing through.

That figure was none other than Star, who had returned disappointed after failing to find Wendy.

"I really didn't expect that Barbatos would even release Dvalin just to avoid drinking soda soy milk. This is a best-selling drink from another world, is it really necessary to be so disrespectful..."

While complaining about the cowardice of a certain wind god, Xing raised her head and looked up at the high sky.

The raging wind whipped her long hair, the gray strands flying wildly in the wind, her clothes billowing, and a blazing white light emanated from the baseball bat that had appeared in her hand at some unknown time.

"Luckily, I left Paimon inside when I came back, otherwise she would probably be blown away somewhere by now."

Her cold face remained expressionless, her golden eyes were calm, and her gaze pierced through the clouds to meet the scarlet dragon's eyes.

"This is Stormterror, also known as Dvalin? Compared to the oppressive power of Doombeast, it seems a little weaker..."

He twirled the baseball bat in his hand, and then...

A powerful aura instantly created a "vacuum zone" around the star, and in an instant, the wind and rain stopped!

"In that case, according to the script, all we need to do next is defeat you to move on to the next step!"

A slow smile crept onto Xing's lips, and then, with a light step forward, her heel touched the ground... and tiny cracks appeared on the bridge surface...

At the same time, Wendy's pupils, hidden in the wind and rain, suddenly contracted!

"Oh no! Dvalin definitely can't withstand that attack!"

Wendy panicked instantly; the power emanating from Xing made even him feel a sense of unease.

Compared to the power of death, this power is purer and more threatening. Beneath that calm light surges an impulse to destroy everything!

Xing has now mastered the power of destiny to a high degree. Although she has to start all over again, her use of the power of destiny within her is now more refined...

The power of destiny associated with [destruction] has naturally become even stronger.

However, when she was ready to make her move, she did not immediately swing the bat in her hand.

She wasn't waiting for the opposing Dvalin to make the first move, nor was she waiting for her teammates to buff her speed; it was just... she remembered something Ying had said to her before.

"Don't kill Tvalin."

From the perspective of the plot, Dvalin really can't die, so all she needs to do next is teach him a lesson.

In that case...

Xing's smile widened further, and then she "gently" tossed the baseball bat at the dragon high in the sky.

Then! The "white" baseball bat, enveloped in the power of [Destruction], hurtled towards the sky where Tvalin was with an astonishingly perfect spin!

"Whoosh!"

In Wendy's panicked gaze, the baseball bat easily pierced through the clouds, and then...

It quickly swept past Tvalin, leaving a trail in its wake.

"Missed it? No, that can't be right!"

Feeling the rhythm around the baseball bat, Wendy's heart, which had just calmed down, jumped into her throat again.

The baseball bat, which had already flown past his head, flew back again and headed towards the back of Tvarin's head at an extremely fast speed!

And then...

"bang!!"

On that day, everyone in Mondstadt heard an extremely clear sound, and then the inky black clouds outside quickly dissipated, and the rain stopped!

Then, something seemed to fall from the sky, but people didn't care. They simply came out of their houses, looked at the clear sky, and began to celebrate with each other.

For a time, words praising the wind god filled the entire city of Mondstadt. Only the two Favonius Knights who remained at the city gate swallowed hard, exchanged a glance, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"It's done!"

Xing clapped his hands after putting away his bat, and without even glancing at the spot where Dvalin had fallen, he strode towards Mondstadt with an air of indifference.

Meanwhile, outside Mondstadt.

Wendy stared silently at the "forced shutdown" of Dvalin before her.

Good news: Tvalin is not dead.

Bad news: He has a lump on his head that's bigger than his head itself.

It seems... it's still easier to knock someone unconscious with a stick...

"Sigh... Although something went wrong with all of this, thankfully, we can continue with the original story from now on."

Gazing at the incredibly conspicuous red envelope above Dvalin's head, Wendy shrugged helplessly.

Chapter Thirty-Four Headache

"So, you're saying..."

"When you were drawing cards in that chat group, you accidentally drew this thing, and it happened to be projected out of the atmosphere, and you just happened to get hit on the head by it..."

Beside Ying's sickbed, Himeko looked at Ying, whose head had "grown a little head" again, and covered half of her face with her hands while trying to remain calm. She repeated the words in her memo with a slightly trembling voice.

"Ah...that's right."

Looking at the crowd gathered around her hospital bed, who were already on the verge of losing their composure, Ying's pupils seemed to have lost their light. She nodded somewhat resignedly, and her "little head" wrapped in bandages swayed slightly.

"Pfft..."

Seeing their comical appearance, Himeko, who was already struggling to hold back her laughter, burst out laughing first, followed by... a group of people lowering their heads and chuckling.

At that moment... Ying felt despair...

She swore...

"I'm never pulling from Genshin Impact's banner again!"

This time it was about "reasoning with people," but what if next time it's Klee's bombs or a fire slime...?

Then she's basically going to suffer an "air raid" from orbit!

Her small body couldn't withstand another round of torture...

Ying, with a large bag on her head, lay listlessly on the bed, looking weak... pitiful... and helpless...

"Pfft...cough cough cough...cough cough cough..."

But it's funny.

Ying stared at the headmaster who had made her laugh so hard she choked, her eyes filled with resentment. If that resentment had been any stronger, she might have gained another Herrscher within St. Freya.

"Uh, cough cough, sorry, sorry... Ying, you should focus on recovering from your injury for now and don't need to attend classes! Please help Ying catch up on her lessons!"

Theresa coughed awkwardly twice, her face flushing slightly with guilt. Then, as if nothing had happened, she adopted the dignified air of a "headmistress," put her hands on her hips, and said seriously to Ying.

"Also, remember to let me know next time you draw a card! Fortunately, this time it didn't cause any major accidents, and I managed to smooth things over with the Destiny Headquarters for now. If another unexpected situation like this happens next time, I won't be able to help cover it up."

"Okay, I understand. I'll let everyone know in advance next time I'm drawing cards!"

Ying nodded slightly. She hadn't expected the card-drawing event to be so big. Fortunately, it was a misunderstanding, but it did cause the loss of a classroom.

"Okay, okay, the class monitor just texted me saying he brought you the best anti-swelling plaster in China. It will feel much better after you apply it."
