Chapter 516
"Ah?"
"That way I can move directly to the church dormitory next to the church and protect the treasure nearby."
"Pfft! My sister's idea isn't entirely wrong."
The two sisters sat down at the dining table, chatting and laughing. Without Wendy's presence, the two sisters suddenly felt a little strange being alone together.
Night falls, and the moon hangs in the sky.
It wasn't even late at night yet; it was just the time when the number of pedestrians on the street was beginning to dwindle. A masked woman in a black robe brazenly arrived at the church entrance.
A dark-skinned young man emerged from the shadows and stood smiling behind the visitor.
"Dear La Signora, the church closes at sunset. If you wish to pray to the God of Wind, would you please come again tomorrow?"
"Hmph! Dark and filthy remnants!"
Kaeya had clearly already figured out who the newcomer was, his tone particularly emphatic. As a member of the Knights whose depth and intelligence were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, anyone who underestimated him because of his witty and unserious daily demeanor would surely suffer a great loss.
Rosalyn also saw through Kaeya's origins. Those peculiar star-shaped eye patterns were far too distinctive for a seasoned victim of the Kandria like Rosalyn.
Kaeya raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Then he slashed his sword at Rosalyn's neck—a move so utterly unpredictable and devoid of any chivalry. Rosalyn, in turn, coldly extended her hand, encased in a black lace glove.
"Boom!!!"
A ten-meter-high ice wall blocked the church entrance, like an iceberg that suddenly rose from the ground, and the loud noise spread in all directions.
The Knights who had been lying in wait quickly sprang into action, dispersing the nearby civilians as soon as possible according to the plan, and then regrouping at the church to join the battle.
Only,
"What? There are enemies too?"
"I have some too!"
"Protect the church, protect Mondstadt!"
"Kill!"
The sounds of swords clashing and muskets firing came from all directions.
Kaeya held his sword, a smile on his face, but his one eye, though visible, held no warmth.
"Oh my, they really came prepared! They gave me quite a fright! I just don't know when so many audacious madmen appeared in Mondstadt City, where God of Wind is stationed?"
"Oh!"
Rosalyn sneered, realizing that Kaeya was using the name of the God of Wind to intimidate her and try to sway her will. However, she already knew that the God of Wind was not present tonight, so there was nothing for her to fear.
Kaeya spread his hands, adopting a relaxed posture with absolutely no desire to attack, and said helplessly:
"Alright, alright, since you're not even afraid of the God of Wind, you must have some considerable confidence. The Knights don't want to sacrifice themselves needlessly, nor do they want to affect the citizens of Mondstadt. So, we can make a deal..."
The word "Shang" had barely been uttered when a cold glint appeared in the darkness, followed by a spear thrusting out like a dragon.
Rosaliya's spear tip, imbued with a sharp and piercing ice Elemental Power, stabbed straight at Rosalyn's back.
But it wasn't over yet. Just as Rosalyn was about to react to the attack, Kaeya suddenly shut his mouth, and the sharp blade swung towards her neck again.
The two Knights, who also had some involvement in organized crime, had no qualms and were willing to do anything to protect Mondstadt, which they wanted to protect.
Rosalyn was also a little surprised that in just five hundred years, the style of this generation of knights was so different from that of Rustan's generation. Caught off guard, she had no choice but to raise her hands to meet the attacks from both sides, and was knocked back a distance by the enormous force.
"Good evening. It's truly a rare opportunity to work side by side, Miss Rosaliya."
"Good evening. And please resolve this as soon as possible; I don't want to work overtime."
"You'll have to apply to the Master Jean, or you could apply to the great God of Wind. However, it seems he doesn't want to end this so soon."
The two top-ranked Knights exchanged a glance and then looked at Rosalyn was dressed in a black robe.
But then she raised her hands, and a terrifying cold current spread from her body, freezing everything around her, and even causing ice crystals to slowly fall from the sky.
"Knights? Very well, if you're not afraid of death, then come and try to stop me!"
Although they couldn't actually kill anyone, they couldn't lose in terms of momentum.
Five hundred years of accumulation, the terrifying power that once scorched everything, has now transformed into suffocating pressure.
Kaeya's smile vanished, and Rosaliya lost her usual languidness; the two responded with icy killing intent.
"Boom!!!"
The conflict has fully erupted.
