Chapter 306: A Motherly Slash
Bai Luo's actions answered the question forming in her mind.
He didn't switch to the Void Tyrant class. Instead, using the effect of the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella, he transformed the dagger in his hand into the Void Tyrant's exclusive weapon.
Bai Luo's hand passed unobstructed through the glow on Yae Miko's chest. Compared to when he used the Void Tyrant class directly, however, the disturbance this time was much smaller.
[Void Acquired — Gravitational Override Cannon]
While wielding the Gravitational Override Cannon, the user can fire an anti-gravity round straight ahead, dealing elemental damage to the first enemy hit and causing them to float for 1.25 seconds. During this time, the target cannot move, attack, or cast skills.
Within 0.5 seconds after firing, this skill can be activated again, up to five consecutive uses.
Subsequent anti-gravity rounds will lose accuracy and increase the skill's cooldown by 2.7 seconds.
Looking at the hand-cannon–like weapon in his hand, Bai Luo finally let out a sigh of relief.
This was exactly the Void he needed right now.
Come to think of it, Teyvat actually had similar abilities—though not from playable characters, but from monsters.
That's right: the water bubbles released by Hydro Slimes and Hydro Abyss Mages.
The effects were practically identical.
Feeling the crackling lightning behind him, Bai Luo turned around and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Biu—
Raiden Ei, who hadn't expected Bai Luo to pull out something like this, was caught completely off guard and was hit squarely by the Gravitational Override Cannon.
The pain she expected never came. Instead, a transparent barrier suddenly expanded, completely enveloping her.
Inside the barrier, she felt as though all gravity had vanished. She couldn't even lift the blade in her hand.
Seeing that the Gravitational Override Cannon worked, Bai Luo didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger again.
The skill description stated that consecutive shots would lose accuracy.
But at this distance—when even firing with his eyes closed would still hit Raiden Ei. Accuracy wasn't a concern at all.
After firing, he even remembered to activate Heart of the Earthfire, adding another layer of crowd control.
"Bye-bye~"
Looking at Raiden Ei trapped under multiple control effects, Bai Luo waved at her in an infuriatingly smug manner. He released his perception and targeted the only unit out in the open, activating Quantum Teleportation.
Bai Luo's figure was gradually engulfed by blue quantum effects. As Heart of the Earthfire took effect, he turned into pure quantum light and vanished completely from the Tenshukaku.
"Sorry, Ei. I forgot to tell you—he has an ability similar to spatial traversal."
Watching Raiden Ei finally struggle free from the chain of control effects, Yae Miko spoke with barely concealed schadenfreude.
As for whether she truly forgot… that was hard to say.
"He won't get away."
Raiden Ei shot Yae Miko a glance with eyes glowing a faint violet. She looked utterly confident.
"Don't tell me you're going to—"
The lightning dancing in Raiden Ei's eyes made Yae Miko's ears perk straight up, because she had already realized what her dear friend intended to do.
If she really used that move…
Could Bai Luo withstand it?
This slash was nothing like the earlier skirmish in the Tenshukaku. This was a strike that could truly slay a god.
...
Shua—
The moment Bai Luo landed, still in a good mood, his expression suddenly stiffened.
Because he realized that even though he had already left the Tenshukaku—and had even left Inazuma City—the sensation of being watched had not disappeared.
And that gaze, tinged with unmistakable killing intent, made his scalp prickle with dread.
Unless he used quantization, he had no confidence at all in blocking the next slash.
But with quantum teleportation now on cooldown, he was completely unable to use it.
Then maybe Shadow Step instead—if he entered Shadow Step, perhaps the other party wouldn't be able to see him.
"Ausbilder?"
"???"
As the "lucky one" he had selected spoke up, Bai Luo's expression finally changed.
"Scaramouche?"
That's right—the fortunate soul Bai Luo had hastily chosen was none other than Raiden Kunibushi, who was lazing around in Byakko Plain.
"You—"
Seeing Bai Luo suddenly appear behind him, Scaramouche opened his mouth, about to say something.
"You don't need to say anything. I'm here to tell you that I've agreed with your previous suggestion and plan to depart for Mondstadt immediately."
The sensation of being watched grew stronger and stronger, yet instead of fear, Bai Luo felt excitement.
Because upon seeing Scaramouche, a bold idea had begun to form in his mind.
"I—"
"I know you're confused, but I've thought about it a lot these past few days and decided Mondstadt suits me better. Don't overthink it."
With time pressing, Bai Luo didn't give Scaramouche a chance to speak, instead pouring out his thoughts with great "sincerity."
"Then—"
"Then what are you waiting for! The letter! Give it to me! There's no time! She—the ship is about to sail!"
Before Scaramouche could finish his sentence, Bai Luo rolled up his sleeves and started patting him down.
He really couldn't afford to hesitate. That scalp-tingling sense of danger was becoming more and more pronounced—if he didn't leave now… the unlucky one might not be him.
Seeing how frantic Bai Luo was, Scaramouche found it strange, but didn't think too deeply about it.
After slapping away Bai Luo's hand reaching into his clothes, Scaramouche took out the letter from Pierro from his pocket.
"You're going of your own free will. I didn't force you, okay?"
Before handing over the letter, Scaramouche made sure to confirm.
Even if he didn't really care, he was more than happy to shrug off any blame if he could.
"Yes, yes, I'm going willingly. We're both perfectly happy about it."
Snatching the letter from Scaramouche's hand, Bai Luo vanished right in front of him without a trace.
If the letter hadn't been taken along with him, Scaramouche might truly have thought it was all an illusion.
Now then—he could finally—
Just as Scaramouche was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he sensed that the Electro element in the surroundings seemed far more active than usual.
Before he could react, the Triple Tomoe of Electro emerged from the spot where Bai Luo had been standing.
"!!!"
Seeing that crest, Scaramouche naturally knew what it signified.
The Eye of Stormy Judgment manifested, and in an instant Byakko Plain was shrouded in dark clouds. Flashing lightning severed all of Scaramouche's escape routes.
Clang—
As space itself was cleaved apart, the katana known as Musou no Hitotachi filled Scaramouche's vision.
In that instant, all of heaven and earth paled beneath this single slash.
Kunibushi—your dear friend, the Twelfth Seat of the Fatui Harbinger, has brought you your most beloved mother!
Along with a slash from her—overflowing with maternal love.
BOOM—
Lightning ravaged the entirety of Byakko Plain.
Across the now-silent wilderness came a furious, teeth-gritting roar:
"BAI LUO!!!!!!!!!!"
