Genshin Impact: I will turn into a breeze and continue to blow over Mondstadt
Chapter 96 The Righteous Man!
Seeing Diluk approaching step by step, the Ice Abyss Mage tried to resist, but it was already at the end of its strength. The previous attack had already caused it to be severely injured, and now it was just making a final struggle.
“It’s time to settle the accounts!” Diluk said, his voice carrying an unquestionable majesty.
As he finished speaking, a ball of blazing fire shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire space. The strong light made it almost impossible for Ying and Paimon to open their eyes.
In the dazzling firelight, the Ice Abyss Mage's shield shattered like fragile glass...
"Damn it..." Amid the unwilling howls of the Ice Abyss Mage, its body was completely devoured by the flames and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Wow...the hero of the dark elves is really Master Diluk!" Although he had guessed it before, Paimon still couldn't suppress his inner shock when he saw Diluk display such powerful strength with his own eyes.
After making sure there was no danger around, Diluk put away his weapon and turned his attention to Ying and Qianyu.
"Are you all right?" he asked with concern.
"Don't worry, we are very lucky!" Qianyu replied with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about the danger just now.
"I have tried my best to avoid the patrol routes of the Knights Guards, but I didn't expect to meet you..." Diluk helped Ying up.
"We have met before, in the North Wind Ruins." Diluk was the first to break the silence, speaking in a steady tone.
"Actually, I was tracking the Abyss Mage at that time, and I didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence." He frowned slightly, as if recalling that unpleasant experience.
"But why didn't Master Diluk tell us the truth at that time?" Paimon asked curiously, blinking his big eyes.
Diluk was silent for a moment, then slowly explained, "Because I didn't want the Knights to know about this, I deliberately created the illusion that I was following you."
"Is it because of Kaia?" Ying said thoughtfully.
Diluk's eyes grew deep, he sighed softly and replied, "You can say that. No matter what, I don't want to have anything to do with the Knights Templar anymore." There was a hint of helplessness and determination in his voice.
"It seems that there is indeed a considerable conflict between Diluk and the Knights..." Paimon carefully leaned close to Ying's ear and spoke in a low voice.
"Well, that's about right. Anyway, I'm not happy with the way they do things." Diluk crossed his arms over his chest and glanced at the unconscious guards.
"Just look at those guys and you'll understand..."
"Hey, can you hear me like this?!" Paimon covered her mouth in panic, fearing that her words would upset Diluk. She secretly glanced at Diluk and was slightly relieved when she found that he didn't have any special reaction.
"So, only in the dark night, when the whole city is asleep, will you act alone and silently guard it in your own unique way." Qianyu said with emotion.
"No wonder everyone affectionately calls you the 'Hero of the Dark Night'!" Qianyu continued.
"'Hero of the Dark Night' is nothing more than a beautiful aspiration in people's hearts. It may sound a bit cheesy." Diluk responded frankly.
“To be honest, when I first heard this title in the tavern, I didn’t immediately associate it with myself…” Diluk couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
"Master Diluk, do you think it's tacky? How about Paimon give you a name on the spot?" Paimon blinked and said to Diluk with anticipation.
Diluk frowned slightly, but despite being somewhat reluctant, he nodded and agreed, “Yeah, okay.”
After getting Diluk's permission, Paimon danced with excitement. She cleared her throat and began to think seriously:
"Let me think about it~ A character who silently protects others in the dark night must have a very cool and romantic title!" As he said this, Paimon put his hands on his chin and looked thoughtful.
After a moment, Paimon's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a great idea, and he shouted happily: "Got it! I'll call you - the Justice!"
Hearing this name, Diluk showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he subconsciously reached out to cover his forehead. Ying and Qianyu looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched unconsciously.
"I suddenly feel that the title of Dark Night Hero doesn't seem so tacky after all..."
After chatting, Diluk silently put on a black cloak that seemed to blend into the darkness. He carefully placed several unconscious guards in a safe place to ensure that they would not be harmed.
Then, Diluk straightened up and said with a firm look, "Well, let's stop chatting here today. I must continue to track down the Abyss Cult and not let them have any chance to breathe."
There was a determination and sense of mission in his voice, as if he was born to fight against darkness.
"Their actions have become more and more frequent in recent days, and I have a bad feeling. These guys must be planning something that is disadvantageous to Mondstadt." Diluk frowned, with a vigilant gleam in his eyes.
After saying this, he nodded to us, then turned around and walked away with light steps. His steps were steady and fast, like a ghost moving through the night.
As he walked further and further away, his figure gradually blended into the boundless night until he completely disappeared.
"Great, then Paimon announces that the truth about the Dark Night Hero has been revealed!" Paimon shouted excitedly.
At this time, Ying, who was standing by, also showed a relieved smile. The three of them - Ying, Paimon and Qianyu, experienced an adventure full of thrills and challenges together, and finally unveiled the mystery behind the Dark Night Hero.
As night fell, the three exhausted people decided to return to the Cat's Tail Tavern to spend the night. After entering the room, Paimon fell headfirst onto the bed without saying a word, and soon fell into a sweet dream.
Ying lay quietly beside him, staring at Paimeng who was already fast asleep. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be young. You can fall asleep as soon as you lie down..."
At this moment, the whole room was filled with a peaceful atmosphere. It was quiet and silent, with only Paimon's gentle breathing echoing in the air.
Ying's eyes slowly moved to the ceiling, her thoughts gradually drifted away, and she began to recall every little thing that happened in the past few days. She carefully sorted out every detail, trying to find some things that she had overlooked.
However, despite her efforts to think, she still felt as if there were still some things she hadn't figured out. This vague feeling made her a little irritable, but it also aroused a stronger desire to explore deep in her heart.
However, no matter what, the most important thing now is to have a good rest. Ying gently closed her eyes and prayed silently: "I hope I can have a sweet dream under the shining starry sky."
