The Abyss Mage's Ultimate Taunt

After giving his instructions, Chen Luo summoned the Bar Door and went inside.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Dragon of the East Wind]

Reward: 550 Primogem + Random Reward

"Huh? The mission is complete?" Chen Luo, who had been spacing out in the bar for about a minute, immediately pushed open the Bar Door next to him after seeing this notification.

Chen Luo entered the bar simply to take advantage of the time difference in the War Domain to quickly heal the Stormterror, so Chen Luo sat down at the Bar Door as soon as he entered.

Chen Luo estimated that one minute had passed, which in the War Domain was roughly equivalent to one day.

"Bang!" Chen Luo, who had just pushed open the door and stepped into the War Domain, heard a loud noise.

Then Chen Luo saw the Snake Snake, which had just retracted its tail, looking at him.

"... Alright, come back now." Chen Luo could roughly guess what had happened.

Having just received a notification that Stormterror had fully recovered, Chen Luo pushed open the Bar Door. However, the process of opening the door took time, and the time in the bar differed greatly from the time in the War Domain. So, just as Stormterror had fully recovered, it was struck by Snake Snake's tail, and Chen Luo arrived late.

Upon hearing the command Snake Snake swiftly vanished into nothingness, while Chen Luo stared into deep thought at the large, noticeably sunken patch of earth beneath the Stormterror's head.

How many times has this Stormterror been smashed?

However, it's not a big problem. After all, from Chen Luo's perspective, the Stormterror's entire body is almost completely renewed, with even its claws and feathers growing back.

This gave Chen Luo the urge to trim his nails again, but after thinking about it, Chen Luo gave up this tempting idea.

Chen Luo looked at the sleeping Stormterror, then at the large hole under its head, and after a moment of thought, began to weave a large net.

Chen Luo decided to move him to another place, so that the Stormterror wouldn't notice anything amiss when it saw the big pit.

This time, Chen Luo felt a bit more relaxed when dragging the Stormterror, which means that the Infinite Serpent behind Chen Luo did receive some strengthening after consuming the poisonous blood of the Dragon Dvalin and the flesh of the Stormterror. However, the strengthening was not significant.

The main reason is that the quantities are very small. If the quantities were larger, there might be a significant improvement.

But the Dragon Dvalin was already dead, and the Stormterror could not be killed.

I wonder if this thing eats Honkai Beasts. If Honkai Beasts, then I could take it to the Honkai World for a visit.

But what makes up Honkai Beasts doesn't seem to be flesh and blood, but rather Honkai energy, right?

After dragging Tevyat to another location, Chen Luo waved a few threads and used the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion to stimulate the Stormterror.

"Roar..." A deep sound came from the mouth of the Stormterror, and its dragon eyes, which were larger than Chen Luo's head, slowly opened.

"Human, you are... the follower next to Barbatos?" The Stormterror slowly raised its head, looking at the human standing quietly in front of it, and spoke in human language.

"How are you feeling now, Tevyat? Are you feeling much better?" Chen Luo stood there, completely without any intention of attacking or defending.

"Hmm?" The Stormterror's face wrinkled slightly, almost like a human.

Then Stormterror began to feel his own body condition and was surprised to find that not only was the spike on the back of his neck gone, but the flesh poison of the Dragon Dvalin, which had been tormenting him and was deeply buried in his body, was also gone. Tevyat felt that he was in better condition than ever before.

"By the way, I'm not Barbatos's follower, but a friend," Chen Luo casually remarked.

"Was it you... who treated me? What just happened? Why can't I remember anything except for a headache?"

Tevyat felt better than ever before, except for a slight headache and the loss of his memories of meeting Barbatos...

"That's right, I did treat you. It's just that my treatment method was a bit rough. At the time, you were being corrupted by that damned Abyss Mage, so you weren't very cooperative. That's why I hit your head during the fight, which is why you were unconscious for a while. You shouldn't mind, right?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

Chen Luo hadn't expected the other person to suddenly lose their memory.

This wasn't done by Chen Luo. It's possible that the other person was injured too much, or that they had been hit on the head many times.

Well, although Chen Luo could explain it if the other party didn't have amnesia, it would be even better if the other party did have amnesia.

After all, the methods Chen Luo used for treatment were not very friendly, or rather, extremely unfriendly. Although it was for the other party's good, it was inevitable that the other party would be somewhat unhappy if they still clearly remembered it.

"Was the treatment method a bit rough? It's alright, of course I don't mind. Although I am not human, I am still reasonable and can distinguish right from wrong. And since you are Barbatos's friend, please allow me to express my gratitude." Tevyat bowed slightly to Chen Luo to show his thanks.

For Tevyat, if the treatment was merely a bit too harsh, it was still within his tolerance.

And I have indeed almost fully recovered.

Aside from a slight headache.

"You're welcome, it was nothing, just a small favor." Chen Luo felt a little embarrassed by the other party's sudden politeness.

"If you ever need any help in the future, just come find me at Wind Dragon... Ruins. Now it's time for me to leave. But the wind here feels a bit strange." Tevyat frowned as he looked around Starfall Cliff.

Tevyat felt that the wind on Starfall Cliff was as still as death, devoid of any vitality.

[Ding! Achievement (Dragon Tamer) obtained]

[Dragon Tamer] (3 stars): Increases the favorability of dragon-type characters towards you. When riding a dragon-type creature in battle, all attributes are increased by 20%. Furthermore, when facing dragon-type creatures, you can generate a special pressure, causing them to be oppressed by your aura and mentally intimidated.

Requirements: After rescuing or defeating a dragon, gain the Dragon's Friendship.

Promotion path:

[Dragon Tamer] (3 stars): Gain the Dragon's Friendship.

[Dragon Tamer] (4-star): Gain the friendship of 10 high-level dragon-type creatures.

[Dragon's Reverse Scale] (5-star): Gain the friendship of 20 high-level dragon-type creatures.

[Dragon's Reverse Scale] (5-star): Greatly increases the initial affinity of dragon-type creatures towards you. When riding a dragon-type creature in battle, all attributes are increased by 50%, and you have great dominance over dragon-type creatures. All allied dragon-type creatures gain a 25% bonus to all attributes. Ordinary, weak dragon-type creatures or sub-dragons cannot resist your commands.

When you are injured, it will enrage dragon-type creatures. The more you are injured, the more dragon-type creatures that befriend you or whose attributes increase. They may then relentlessly hunt down the attacker, and the hunted will automatically become the target of hatred from all dragon-type creatures.

Special Skill: [Dragon Knight]: You can temporarily transform a dragon-type creature into your mount, making it obey your commands. The duration depends on the affinity between the two parties, their strength, and the other party's ability to resist.

As expected, all the 5-star achievements were bugged.

Chen Luo thought to himself.

In some respects, certain 5-star achievements are definitely comparable to, or even surpass, the ordinary 5-star items that Chen Luo predicted.

However, on the other hand, if the conditions for achieving special attack are not met, the five-star achievement is useless.

Although Chen Luo had not purchased any other five-star items, one could roughly guess his purchasing power based on the amount of 10,000 Primogem he possessed.

Furthermore, a 4-star achievement is a 4-star item, and a 5-star achievement will inevitably be a 5-star item.

Although these achievements are not very useful in normal times except for their specific applications, the key is that they can be obtained for free.

Of course, the downside is that completing the achievements is indeed quite difficult.

"Actually, your feeling is correct. This place looks like it's about reaching for the stars, but it's not. It's a special space. Don't move yet. I'll take you out now. When you feel the pulling sensation, don't resist, or you won't be able to leave this place. I'm just looking for a place to treat you, so don't mind." Chen Luo said as he walked to Tevyat's side.

Chen Luo placed one hand on Tevyat's paw.

As a result, Chen Luo suddenly received a notification that Tevyat had become his friend.

Seeing that Tevyat's interface not only displayed Tevyat's abilities but also allowed users to exchange materials from Tevyat, Chen Luo thought for a moment and decided not to delete Tevyat from his friend list.

After all, dragon blood and dragon claws are indeed good materials. You can ask Tevyat for them normally, and you can buy them directly in case of an emergency.

"I understand," Tevyat nodded.

Tevyat sensed that the wind blowing through the stars was indeed different and subtly perceived the difference from reality, so he quickly accepted Chen Luo's explanation.

And for some reason, Tevyat suddenly found Chen Luo very pleasing to the eye.

Yes, friends can get a 22% discount, how can you not like it?

This is also due to the various achievements Chen Luo has made and the fact that Chen Luo saved his life, which is why his favorability rating has increased so quickly.

After all, only those who have experienced the pain of that damned flesh poison can appreciate the comfort of being free from illness now.

It's like when you accidentally get a mouth ulcer, you can finally appreciate the joy of eating and drinking whatever you want without any restrictions on spicy food.

After realizing that Feng Mozhong believed him and had no intention of resisting, Chen Luo nodded and then used the Teleport Anchor function.

Actually, if possible, Chen Luo didn't want to use the Teleport Anchor. Leaving through the bar, like Durandal did, would have been a much better method.

The problem is that Stormterror is just too big to fit into the bar.

This also made Chen Luo realize a problem with the bar: it couldn't accommodate giant creatures.

The teleportation to the Teleport Anchor is instantaneous and does not require a loading bar, so from Venti's and the others' perspective, Chen Luo only took the Stormterror away for a minute or two before suddenly reappearing.

The sudden appearance of the enormous creature startled Paimon, who immediately ran behind Ying.

Paimon was even more frightened when she saw Stormterror, after all, Stormterror had just roared at her.

However, Paimon still trusted Chen Luo to some extent. After seeing Chen Luo Stormterror seemingly coexisting peacefully, Paimon at least showed his face.

"Tevyat, are you alright?" Venti, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the poisonous thorn on the back of Stormterror's neck had disappeared, and the winds around her were no longer as turbulent as before, so she immediately asked.

Of course, there was also the trust in Chen Luo.

"Thanks to your help, my friend, I'm basically fine now, except for a slight headache. Otherwise, I feel better than ever before," Stormterror nodded and said.

"Your head hurts a little?" Venti immediately became alert and looked at Chen Luo.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. He had a headache, mainly because he was a bit agitated earlier, as you saw. So I tapped his head to calm him down so I could begin treatment."

"Alright, I've done what I promised you. All the toxins in Tevyat's body have been cleared away. Apart from a slight headache, he's no different from the Stormterror in its full form." Chen Luo looked quite innocent as he saw Venti's suspicious gaze.

Do you think of me, Chen Luo, as a violent person?

How could I possibly keep hitting Stormterror's head?

It's even less likely that they could collect materials from Stormterror while Stormterror was unconscious.

"Thank you, Alo." Seeing that Stormterror's condition was genuine and that Chen Luo's eyes were completely open, Venti finally breathed a sigh of relief.

My head hurts a little, but that's all. It'll be fine once it gets back to normal.

"You two old friends can continue catching up. I need to deal with that Abyss Mage problem first."

Seeing Venti and Tevyat begin to gaze at each other affectionately, Chen Luo tactfully moved to the other side.

There Herrscher of Knowledge and the Abyss Mage were getting along amicably.

It's best for others to keep their distance from this gathering of Venti and her two longtime friends, even though Chen Luo is a mutual friend of theirs.

Also, what if the Abyss Mage gets ruined by the Herrscher of Knowledge if we arrive late?

Chapter 173 The Abyss Mage's Ultimate Taunt

"Manager, you healed Tevyat so quickly? That's amazing!" Paimon looked at Chen Luo with admiration.

After all, for Paimon, Tevyat was such a huge guy.

"You see it as only a minute or so has passed, but in reality, quite a long time has passed in another space," Chen Luo said as he walked to the area where the crowd was gathered.

Everyone wisely refrained from disturbing Venti and Tevyat, and thus all gathered around the Abyss Mage.

At this moment, the Abyss Mage stood in front of the Herrscher of Knowledge, completely dazed and defenseless, facing the crowd.

Chen Luo even sensed that Diluc was somewhat eager to try.

"This is the first time I've peacefully coexisted with Abyss Mage at such close range without resorting to violence," Qin said, standing there with a longsword in her hand.

While talking about peaceful coexistence, you held a sword in front of the other party. As expected of you, my Acting Grand Master Jean.

"If I could, I'd really like to study this Abyss Mage more closely," Lisa said, showing considerable interest.

After all, a completely unresisting Abyss Mage is truly rare.

"I did run into an Abyss Mage a couple of days ago. Perhaps it's because of the calamity and the fact that the expedition drained too many elite troops. Not only the Fatui, but even the Abyss Order has started to become active in Mondstadt," Diluc said, stroking his chin.

"This Abyss Mage seems to be of a very high level, after all, he can corrupt Tevyat through special means. And his wand is of quite high quality as well." Lisa picked up the Abyss Mage's wand and examined it for a while before saying this.

"Sister Lisa, may I take a look?" Chen Luo reached out his hand to Aunt Lisa.

The Herrscher of Knowledge is currently gradually eroding the opponent's consciousness, so Chen Luo doesn't need to intervene for now. He can simply take over the Herrscher of Knowledge's achievements when the time comes.

Of course, besides that, there's another reason: to put on a show for others.

Chen Luo could naturally use the abilities of the Thousand-Man Herrscher to control this Abyss Mage, and this Abyss Mage was indeed a qualified pawn, strong and of high status.
