After Lumine left, the Abyss Order members showed arrogant and unruly expressions.
After all, it was the Abyss.
How could they casually follow anyone's lead?
Even if it was the Princess's command, they would obey on the surface, but their hearts would be very resistant.
"Mages, Lectors, Heralds, Black Serpents, plus the Golden Wolflord..."
"The creatures under Lumine's command are truly diverse."
Sitting on a raised stone, Beryl rested her chin on her wrist, observing the large group of fierce-looking Abyss Order members.
"Hey, I don't really like your gazes. Can you be a little nicer?"
After speaking, Beryl lightly tossed the small stone she was playing with in her left hand.
The stone rolled a few times on the ground and landed in front of the Abyss Order members.
Just as the Abyss Order members were confused, this palm-sized stone glowed with faint purple light.
Immediately after, a terrifying pressure enveloped all Abyss Order members except Enjou.
The Abyss Lectors and Abyss Heralds at the very front were heavily slammed to the ground, their chests making intimate contact with the surface.
The other Abyss members further back seemed to have reacted.
They immediately took up defensive stances.
Nearly a hundred Abyss Mages simultaneously cast spherical shields on themselves.
Crack—
However, under this pressure, the Abyss Mages' shields, regardless of their element, shattered upon contact.
As the Abyss Mage shields broke, all Abyss Mages were pressed to the ground by the pressure.
At this time, the other Abyss Lectors, Abyss Heralds, Black Serpent Knights, and so on, were also firmly suppressed without any resistance.
Throughout Guyun Stone Forest, besides Beryl and Enjou who stood beside her, everyone else was like salted fish, flattened on the ground.
"This... This, my lady."
Enjou trembled, wiping away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.
He swallowed, looking past the Abyss Order members sprawled like salted fish on the ground, towards something further away.
The Golden Wolflord was also pressed to the ground, partially sunken into the earth.
As a Pyro Abyss Lector, Enjou actually felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
But as a loyal supporter of Lumine, he knew he had to speak up and plead.
Otherwise, this entire group might be finished.
"Lady Beryl, please... please forgive the impoliteness of the Order members, they didn't mean to."
Hearing this, Beryl looked up at Enjou, who was standing beside her, bowing his head: "Hmm, are you afraid of me?"
"This..." Enjou's heart skipped a beat. "You are the Princess's distinguished guest, and our distinguished guest. I respect you too much to be afraid..."
Beryl waved her hand, not allowing Enjou to finish explaining.
"Don't worry, these subordinates of Lumine won't die. The pressure I placed on them is released according to their energy intensity and will not take their lives."
After speaking, she lightly flicked her index finger and thumb.
With a "pop," a purple light flew out, shattering the stone on the ground, which was emitting a purple glow, into powder.
As the stone shattered, the pressure on everyone suddenly dissipated.
Abyss Mages and Abyss Lectors, one by one, gasped for breath.
Especially the Golden Wolflord, its eyes rolled back, its body slightly heaving, its wolf head, incongruous with its dragon body, lolling its tongue, looking like an exhausted dog.
Looking at the "crippled soldiers and defeated generals" before him, Enjou's mouth twitched.
Damn it, these "dead fish" on the ground, let alone fighting, it's debatable if they can even get up. Are they waiting to be mowed down by Liyue's peerless warriors?
"Enjou, come here."
Enjou, whose mood was complicated, heard that nightmare-like voice and his heart jolted.
"My... My lady."
"Give me a bit of the Abyss's power," Beryl said.
Enjou looked up, puzzled, and after a moment of hesitation, still spoke: "My lady, the Abyss is very dangerous. If not handled well..."
This powerful person named Beryl was an important guest of the Princess.
If she were accidentally eroded by the Abyss, even if he were tied up and beaten by the Princess afterwards, it probably wouldn't make up for such a mistake.
"Enjou, you don't want Lumine's subordinates to fight the Liyue Adepti right now, do you?" Seeing Enjou's hesitation, Beryl said calmly, "Or do you think the Abyss will affect me?"
"No, I wouldn't dare."
Enjou quickly shook his head.
Are you kidding? This person didn't even move, just casually threw a stone, and could wipe out over a hundred of the Abyss Order's main force.
Enjou transformed the Abyss's power into a black mist and slowly pushed it towards Beryl's position.
As he pushed, he said: "You, you must be careful. If there's anything unusual, tell me immediately. Perhaps I can still do something to remedy it."
"Uh, okay, I understand."
Observing the black mist in her hand, Beryl was speechless hearing Enjou's mother-hen-like worried tone.
"The Abyss, huh."
What's so special about the Abyss that it makes the Heavenly Principles wary?
She immersed her mental power into the black mist in her palm.
Instantly, a chilling sensation came over her.
"Oh, interesting. Cannot be directly observed, a premonition of destruction..."
A moment later, Beryl withdrew her mental perception.
She extended her left index finger and made a few illusory strokes on the black mist held in her right palm.
"Go!"
With a gentle upward pull of her finger, countless tiny droplets floated out from the black mist.
These dense droplets flew towards the fallen Abyss Order members.
One by one, they merged into their bodies.
In less than a few seconds, the Abyss Order members, who had been gasping, groaning, and faintly wailing, slowly got up.
Their chaotic and weak auras also returned to normal.
At this time, the black Abyss mist held in Beryl's hand had shrunk to the size of only three fingers.
Beryl shifted her gaze slightly, looking at the somewhat reserved Abyss Order members, and said, "Until your Princess returns, there's no problem with you listening to me here, right?"
The smile on the white-haired girl's lips made the Abyss Order members feel as if they had seen a demon.
They quickly reacted, those who couldn't speak quickly shook their heads, while those who could spoke loudly answered: "No, no problem."
"Hmm, you see, isn't that much better? Your smiles are much kinder now."
Abyss Order members: "..."
"Alright, alright, do whatever Lumine told you to do. Disperse, disperse." Beryl waved her hand, signaling for them to get to work.
After the Abyss Order members left, Lumine's gaze turned to the Pyro Abyss Lector standing beside her.
"Enjou, Lumine seems to think highly of you."
Enjou's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't know why this unpredictable lady would say such a thing.
But after a moment of thought, he still respectfully replied: "It is our honor to serve the Princess."
"Hmm..., do you want to become stronger?" Beryl didn't give Enjou time to think and continued, "I still have a bit of Abyss black mist, and speaking of it, I just slightly modified it."
"You also saw that just a little consumption can restore the other Abyss members."
"Even the Golden Wolflord only consumed a little more."
Beryl looked at the Abyss black mist, compressed into a spherical shape, floating in her palm, and said calmly, "Enjou, the rest is for you. Do you want it?"
"This... I am a clerical staff, combat is not my forte."
Enjou had a constipated expression.
Although he didn't know what this person had added to the Abyss black mist that could restore the power of all Abyss members, he strongly suspected that excessive inhalation of this black mist might have severe consequences for the Abyss's own existence.
