Chapter 185 - Chapter 185: The Archon Residue Experiment Appears

Two dragons were simultaneously laying waste to Mondstadt.

This was something that neither the Knights nor the Church had anticipated.

According to legend, the evil dragon Ursa had already been subdued by the Fatui's Dottore. Its appearance now had already confirmed who was responsible for today's situation.

The Fatui!

The citizens of Mondstadt City would never forget this moment. When their Pope had declared that the Fatui were the bad guys, some of them hadn't even believed it. Now, it seemed the Lord Pope's words were not wrong in the slightest.

Outside Mondstadt City, Tartaglia shook his head helplessly and sighed. "I feel that even with such a huge commotion, we still won't be able to defeat that man. Do you believe me?"

"Hmph. Have you been completely beaten into submission?" A woman slowly walked out of the shadows, her eyes filled with contempt. She truly looked down on this Childe. To destroy his own side's morale before the battle had even begun.

"I'm not the type to be afraid of losing, but when it comes to Su Han, I have zero confidence. Every time you think you have him cornered, he always pulls out a surprise. That's why I'm saying, as long as he doesn't leave, taking down Mondstadt City will be too difficult."

Recalling the events of that day, Tartaglia still found it hard to believe. How could it be possible to defeat an Archon using only mortal means?

But in fact, it had happened just like that. And he had used a method he couldn't even have imagined to solve the Archon problem!

Today, they were relying on two dragons. He just couldn't see how it was possible to take the city.

But La Signora sneered. "Did you really think this was the entirety of Dottore's and my plan? Heh, this is just the beginning. We should get moving. The dragons in the sky can delay them, but in the end, it's up to us!"

"Then what about Dottore?"

"He won't be coming in. But his subordinates will be here to help!"

"Tch. Just those 'experiments' again, right?"

Tartaglia and La Signora, under the cover of the chaos, quickly approached Mondstadt City.

At this moment, inside the city, Lisa asked Su Han, "Are you still not going to make a move? Another dragon has come. With just their strength, I'm afraid they won't be able to cope."

"I'm just observing, that's all. I want to see if this 'Ursa the Drake' meat is edible." Su Han drew his Tessusaiga, saying something that made Lisa not know whether to laugh or cry.

Eat dragon meat? Only you would think of that.

Seeing Lisa's expression, Su Han chuckled. "Don't look at me like that. If it wasn't for the supply of Jiao-dragon and Qilin meat, do you think Kaeya and the others would have their current strength? Heh, Dvalin can't be killed, but this big purple lizard, what right does it have to come here?"

The Tessusaiga transformed into its Demon Dragon form. Su Han leaped into the air, flying towards the evil dragon.

"ROAR!"

Seeing someone fly towards it, Ursa the Drake immediately unleashed its breath. But with just the sound of the wind tearing, its breath was easily cut to pieces.

At this time, Su Han arrived in front of Ursa the Drake. One dragon, one man, faced each other.

The dragon's eyes were filled with slaughter and destruction. It had no reason at all. Without even thinking, it lunged directly at Su Han.

Hiss…

The direction of the wind in the sky slowly changed. Su Han's eyes transformed into the vertical pupils of a dragon.

At that moment, Ursa the Drake felt the pressure of a fellow dragon. This guy in front of me… he's a dragon?

Before it could even react, Su Han had made his move. The Tessusaiga in his hand lit up, and Senjutsu was imbued into the blade.

Swish!

One slash. The heavens and the earth were shaken. The entire sky was torn apart!

Along with Ursa the Drake's howl, dragon blood splattered across the sky.

"So you can feel pain too, you beast," Su Han said, pressing his advantage and arriving directly above the dragon's head.

Looking at the bleeding dragon, Su Han said coldly, "When you repeatedly invaded Mondstadt, did you ever think that this day would come? Since you're willing to be Dottore's dog, then you can just stay here and become dog-meat hot pot!"

The power of Conqueror's Haki, Senjutsu, and the Purification Power—countless powers were all layered onto the Tessusaiga.

Su Han unleashed another Wind Scar, directly severing Ursa the Drake's head!

This one scene left the distant Fatui dumbfounded. The evil dragon was beheaded, just like that? What the hell is going on?!

After finishing off Ursa, Su Han discovered the tracks of Tartaglia and La Signora and, turning his head, slashed out.

The terrifying sword energy directly tore through the forest. Two figures leaped into the air, dodging the attack.

"This is so frustrating. To think you'd be discovered even like this, Mr. Su Han. Your perception is just too terrifying!"

"Cut the crap, Tartaglia. Use your full power. Otherwise, today will be very dangerous," La Signora said, her face icy. At the same time, using the power of her Delusion, she summoned countless ice lances and attacked Su Han.

But this kind of childish trick, how could it break Su Han's defense? He stood his ground, and the ice lances were unable to cause any damage.

Tartaglia, seeing that he couldn't escape, could only activate his Foul Legacy!

"Sigh, this is giving me a real headache. But for the sake of the Fatui and the Cryo Tsaritsa, I have to fight you."

He burst forward with high mobility, arriving in front of Su Han. With his Foul Legacy fully activated, Tartaglia's strength had increased a great deal, and his long spear shot straight for Su Han's face.

But he merely tilted his head slightly and dodged the terrifying pierce.

He's this fast?

Tartaglia continuously attacked, but the more he attacked, the more shocked he became. All of his attacks were being seen through.

Until, after a failed attack, Tartaglia was sent flying by a kick from Su Han. The massive force almost shattered his Foul Legacy armor!

"It seems your strength hasn't improved at all. If this is all you have, then you can just leave your life here. Because the power I'm about to show you is a terror you've never seen before."

Su Han was tired of playing. His arms began to be covered in dragon scales. The Azure Dragon mode wasn't just for transforming into a dragon; he could also use a half-dragon form. Although its power was not as strong as the full transformation, it was far more terrifying than his normal state.

La Signora's eyes widened. She never thought Su Han would possess another bloodline. He wasn't human at all!

"Storm of Ice…"

"Noisy!"

Su Han slashed at La Signora, sending her flying, and then appeared directly in front of Tartaglia.

The Tessusaiga, carrying a terrifying pressure, swept across his abdomen. Black lightning crackled, and the Foul Legacy armor was directly shattered. Tartaglia himself was sent flying by the sword energy.

At that moment, he was in complete despair. It's only been a short time, and Su Han has become even more terrifying! This is too astonishing! Why is he so strong?!

Su Han was about to give chase and deliver the final blow to Tartaglia, but a figure blocked his path.

It was a small, scrawny child, but his body exuded a strange aura.

"This is… Archon Residue?"

The strange aura, and the berserk intent coming from his body, all indicated that this was very similar to the aura of the Vortex Archon.

When the child looked up, a black, bizarre monster appeared in the air.

"Kill…"

The child launched an attack at Su Han, and the bizarre monster followed, unleashing a terrifying bolt of lightning.

Su Han's eyes turned cold, and he slashed with his Tessusaiga. I don't care who it is. Anyone who stands in my way has only one end: death!

The Demon Dragon Tessusaiga possessed a very terrifying tearing effect, but against this child, it was completely useless. A black mist blocked all of his attacks.

In the ruins of the forest, a figure appeared in front of Tartaglia.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. How tragic. Your Foul Legacy was even shattered. Hey, aren't you going to get up and leave? Don't tell me you want to die here with La Signora?"

"Cough… aren't you going to save her?"

"Why would I save her? A fool who only has revenge on her mind. And besides, with that man here, I couldn't save her even if I wanted to." A trace of caution flashed in Dottore's eyes.

Even when facing a dragon, he had not shown such an emotion. But Su Han had made him feel fear for the first time.

Tartaglia, with the help of the other Fatui, finally stood up. Although his abdomen was seriously injured, he could still bear it.

"She will definitely hate me for this," Tartaglia said with a bitter smile, and then disappeared with Dottore.

On the battlefield, Su Han was fighting the child. Since the Tessusaiga was useless, then he would just add the Pure Yang True Fire!

He switched to the Qilin-Tessusaiga. The scorching flames directly pierced through the child's body.

And at that moment, Su Han finally saw that this child was only about thirteen years old, his body covered in wounds and bandages. Not only that, but the monster on his back also revealed its true form: it was a strange wolf.

Su Han slashed again, directly destroying the Archon Residue. If it had been a complete Archon, he naturally wouldn't have been able to do it so cleanly. But a mere "residue" was simple.

Having finished all of this, Su Han turned to look at La Signora.

"Are you still going to resist? Dottore and Tartaglia have already abandoned you and fled. Without your Archon Residue experiment, how are you going to fight me? With the power of the Crimson Witch of Flame? Or with those toys that shoot ice lances?"

"You… don't be so smug! I am a Witch!" Rosalyne said, her face twisted. Her previous arrogant attitude had long since disappeared. She also wanted to run, but the Chains of Heaven were guarding the area. She couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

The scorching power of the Crimson Flame bloomed before Su Han. Countless crimson butterflies erupted from Rosalyne's body. At this moment, she had completely undone her shackles. To live, and for revenge, she could only choose to do this.

The earth was turned to scorched soil, and the nearby trees were completely incinerated. A hell of fire had descended.
