"Oz," in the end, still wasn’t able to reach Fischl’s side.
The entire back half of his body was cleaved in two by Eula’s greatsword...
With blood spraying, Oz collapsed onto the ground, twitching and trembling, his beak still murmuring: "Your Highness... Milady..."
Watching this scene, Fischl’s heart grew heavy...
Even though Oz had been corrupted by the eerie force, he still cared so much about her...
She had just lost her father, and now she was about to lose her dearest companion as well?
At this mont, "Eula" clearly had no regard for Fischl’s feelings.
She slowly walked up to Oz, lifted her greatsword high, and without hesitation, brought it down on Oz’s head!
With Oz’s head split in two, all of the eerie power within both Oz and Eula dissipated...
Looking at the lifeless Oz before her, Eula sighed helplessly, her voice tinged with sorrow:
"Rest in peace, Oz..."
At this ti, Fischl took out a clean, white cloth and gently wrapped Oz’s body in it.
"The black raven Oz, who shrouds day and night— the entire Imrnachtreich will never forget all that you have given..."
Saying this, Fischl carried away both Oz’s and her father’s remains.
Before leaving, she made it clear that she needed ti alone, asking everyone not to disturb her...
"Everyone, though many things remain unresolved, let’s take a short rest first," Eula suggested.
"If we remain exhausted, it will only hinder what lies ahead..."
Everyone nodded.
After everything they had just gone through, they finally allowed themselves a mont to rest...
"Since we’ve decided to rest, let’s return to Mondstadt for now," Aether said.
"Besides, there are indeed matters we need to discuss with Acting Grand Master Jean and the others..."
..........
Mondstadt.
In the eting room of the Knights of Favonius, Acting Grand Master Jean sat with Adventurers’ Guild Master Cyrus, both wearing grim expressions as they read through page after page of casualty reports...
"Guild Master Cyrus, I truly apologize for this unexpected tragedy..." Jean said heavily.
Jean looked at Cyrus with an apologetic expression and said:
"Over a hundred adventurers lost their lives in that avalanche and landslide...
For their deaths, both the Knights of Favonius and I cannot escape responsibility. I will do everything I can to comfort their families and handle all the aftermath properly..."
"Sigh... Acting Grand Master Jean, you don’t need to bla yourself so much," Guild Master Cyrus let out a long sigh and replied.
"Since they chose to beco adventurers, facing danger— even paying the price with their lives— is sothing they inevitably must confront.
This was, after all, a natural disaster. Who could have predicted that such a massive avalanche and landslide would occur on Dragonspine?"
"This wasn’t a natural disaster. It was man-made."
At that mont, Su Yuan and Aether, having rested for a while, pushed open the door and stepped into the eting room, speaking directly:
"Do you still rember that huge explosion at the summit of Dragonspine? That was Dottore, controlling and detonating Albetwo, which in turn triggered the avalanche and landslide!"
Aether spoke firmly, word by word:
"Guild Master Cyrus, this was all Dottore’s doing! That life-despising bastard is the one responsible for this tragedy!"
Then Aether turned to Jean and added:
"Acting Grand Master Jean, Guild Master Cyrus isn’t just an ordinary person—he leads the Adventurers’ Guild across Mondstadt.
I think we should tell him everything we know. With his help, our next steps will certainly go much more smoothly..."
Hearing this, Jean thought for a mont before replying:
"Very well. After all, the Adventurers’ Guild has sacrificed so many mbers in this incident. Guild Master Cyrus certainly has the right to be inford..."
At this point, Cyrus was left completely bewildered, staring at everyone around him, thinking: Are you all hiding sothing from ?
Soon, through everyone’s explanations, Cyrus finally learned about the existence of the eerie force and gained a clearer understanding of the situation.
"So that’s why, before we set out for Dragonspine, you stopped from speaking to Fischl in my usual manner?" Cyrus said, suddenly enlightened, though also breaking into a cold sweat as a sense of narrow escape washed over him.
"If you hadn’t stopped back then, I’d probably already be a corpse right now...
This ’eerie’... this ominous force... it truly is terrifying..."
Just as everyone present was preparing to move on to the next part of their discussion, a sudden violent explosion rang out from outside the eting room!
"That sound... it seems like a bomb?" Jean spoke with a wary expression.
"Could it be that Klee set off explosives inside the Knights’ headquarters again?"
"No... it shouldn’t be. Klee isn’t such an unreasonable child..."
"Could it be that terrorists are attacking the Knights of Favonius?"
"Standing here guessing won’t solve anything. We should hurry outside and see for ourselves!"
As Cyrus spoke, he imdiately rose to his feet and opened the eting room door to check the situation...
But the very mont the door was opened, a red-and-white bomb with its fuse already lit suddenly rolled to Cyrus’s feet—
And then BOOM!
The massive blast tore Cyrus’s right leg to shreds, blowing him to the ground...
Jean, recognizing the bomb’s design, was stunned and muttered in disbelief:
"That bomb’s shape... there’s no mistake. It’s Klee’s!"
"Why would Klee do this?" Aether exclaid in shock, utterly unable to understand.
"It’s one thing to set off bombs in the headquarters, but to actually harm people?!"
"I’m afraid... Klee has already fallen under the control of eerie force..." Su Yuan said grimly, his face tense with caution.
"Haroro hrgloo ma doodle hichee..."
Along with a twisted, unsettling laugh, Klee’s figure appeared before them.
Her face had already beco distorted and crimson, her body radiating the aura of eerie force.
There was no doubt—Klee had been overtaken by the Eerie!
"Everything... everything can be blown up!!!"
As she spoke, Klee summoned several more bombs into her hands, igniting the fuses with eerie fire before hurling them at everyone inside the room!!!
"Art... is explosion!!!"
