Forbidden-Sorcery Mage-Yun Lian'er / Chen Luo: Foolish. I'll Beat You to Death, and the Gnosis Will Still Be Mine!
"Ha... ha..." The Childe knelt on one knee on the ground, panting heavily.
The Demon King's Armament is extremely powerful, representing the combined maximum power of the Vision and the Evil Eye. However, the Demon King's Armament is also very physically demanding and consumes a great deal of energy, so 5 minutes is already the Childe's limit.
"A martial artist, not bad speed." Yun Lian'er nodded in approval as she looked at the Childe.
"..." The Childe had gained Yun Lian'er's approval, was not happy at all.
Since the battle with Yun Lian'er began, the Childe had activated his Demon King's Armament. This was the Childe's highest respect for battle, but Childe activated the Demon King's Armament not to fight his opponent, but... to escape more quickly.
This was the first time the Childe had ever seen such a magical fighting style.
First, put a shield on yourself that you don't know what it is, then stand there and start attacking.
"If you can survive my Forbidden Spell for 5 minutes, you pass the level according to the game rules." Yun Lian'er closed the book in her hand and turned to leave.
"..." The Childe looked at the devastated red world in silence.
This kind of victory is something I really don't want to achieve at all.
But we finally won the game, and now we can go get the Gnosis.
"Snap!" Just as the Childe was pondering how to leave the Crimson Lotus Barrier, the entire crimson world suddenly emitted a crisp sound. When the Childe looked up, he saw that the dome-shaped barrier in the sky had actually cracked open.
This opening seemed to represent the critical point of the entire barrier; its appearance triggered a chain reaction, and countless cracks spread throughout the Crimson Lotus Barrier. Ultimately, it shattered with a deafening roar.
After the Crimson Lotus Barrier shattered, Chen Luo and his companions reappeared in the Golden House.
The battle raged fiercely inside the barrier, but the Golden House remained completely unharmed, as silent as death.
"Sigh, I thought I had 80% of my strength, but now it seems I've lost even more." Yun Lian'er slowly walked to Chen Luo's side and sighed.
"Huh? Is that so?" After seeing the Crimson Lotus Barrier shatter, Chen Luo finally withdrew his Hilichurl Wooden Shield Paimon Lumine him.
To be fair, the Hilichurl Wooden Shield is really useful. As long as you hide behind it, even the biggest bombardment won't cause any damage.
Moreover, the opponent can also resist the sound wave damage and noise damage generated by the sound waves during the explosion.
Of course, this was fortunately because Yun Lian'er, after being reminded by Chen Luo, did not use Forbidden Spell related to fire.
Even so, some different combinations of Forbidden Spell do indeed produce derivative flames that adhere to the wooden shield.
However, Chen Luo wasn't panicked at all. Chen Luo discovered that as long as he immediately applied Hydro Element to the fire extinguishing bar on the wooden shield—the bar only he could see—once it started to drop, he could quickly put out the flames, maintain the shield's integrity, and even recharge the shield with Dendro Element before it was completely destroyed to restore the health bar.
It now seems that the description of random items can indeed explain most of the functions, but some functions still need to be explored by oneself.
Take, for example, the healing ability of the Dendro Element.
"Eighty percent of the power here is probably even less than the power of the Forbidden Spell copied in the Great Library. So what you just saw was not the complete state of the Forbidden Spell."
"If Forbidden Spell magic is weakened to 80% of its power, some key special characteristics will not be able to be displayed. So although I have 80% of the original strength, as a mage, I may be weakened even more."
"Unless I use Forbidden Spell myself. But even then, I might not be able to cast many Forbidden Spell in five minutes. Moreover, my magic power would be drained, and because of the strange environment of this world, I wouldn't be able to replenish it," Yun Lian'er said with a sigh.
"I see. In the future, when summoning other people, we should consider the influencing factors between worlds." Chen Luo nodded.
"..." Since Yun Lian'er did not intentionally lower her voice, the Childe heard it too.
If the weakened Forbidden Spell are already this outrageous, just how terrifying are the complete Forbidden Spell?
When faced with those Forbidden Spell, the Childe had only one thought: why were all the attacks screen-wide?
Fortunately, these full-screen attacks always have one or more "unmanageable" weak points, otherwise the Childe would feel unlucky.
"Ah Luo, you have no idea how scared I was when the other person suddenly rushed up and slashed me before I even cast a spell," Yun Lian'er said, tugging at Chen Luo's sleeve as she approached him.
"Hmm, Childe is really too awful. I'll beat him up for you later." Chen Luo glared fiercely at the Childe.
"..." The Childe originally wanted to argue.
Because when the Childe slashed through many layers of shields, although he broke through some of the defenses, according to the other party, he probably didn't even manage to destroy half of the passport.
Moreover, when the Childe was only half a meter away from the other party but was stopped by the protective barrier, he clearly saw the other party's calm and almost cold eyes, as well as the contempt in his tone.
You're telling me you're scared?
I'm the one who's scared.
To be honest, the Childe wanted to speak, but when he looked up at Chen Luo and caught a glimpse of Yun Lian'er's almost indifferent gaze, he shut his mouth.
[If it weren't for Aro's promise to spare your life, do you think you could only use one Forbidden Spell at a time? Even a weakened Forbidden Spell, two or three would be enough to shatter the Crimson Lotus Barrier.]
Yun Lian'er stood next to Chen Luo, hoping that this Childe would know better.
The Forbidden Spell copied by Yun Lian'er did indeed have some of its core terrifying power weakened, but in order not to kill the Childe, Yun Lian'er weakened the Forbidden Spell again.
At the same time, it left the opponent with a few weak points, otherwise the opponent would not have been able to escape.
Each Forbidden Spell is the culmination of hundreds or thousands of years of wisdom from magicians. How could it possibly leave such an obvious flaw that someone who has never been exposed to magic could see it?
As the accompanying magic weapon of the S-rank Talent, the Great Library allows Yun Lian'er to use as much magic as she wants, as long as she has even a little bit of magic power in her body to activate the pages.
At the same time, activating and unleashing all the Forbidden Spell accumulated in the entire library is one of Yun Lian'er's greatest trump cards.
Otherwise, Dao would be underestimating the results of Yun Lian's two years of quiet rest in the hospital room.
Yun Lian'er was able to lie in bed for two years, partly because she wanted to play with Chen Luo, and partly because each time she inscribed magic into the book, she had to consume her own magic power. After drawing a few powerful spells, her magic power was almost depleted.
Yun Lian'er's daily routine consisted of lying in a hospital bed, sketching Forbidden Spell, running out of magic power, reading books while waiting for her magic power to recover, sketching Forbidden Spell, running out of magic power again...
That's why Yun Lian'er said that the opportunity to use the pages freely without worrying about depleting the stock is extremely precious.
Every mage's training owes a debt to the immense, often unseen, hours of tedious work behind the scenes.
"Chen Luo, although this game was a bit messy, I won according to the rules." After seeing that the other party's conversation had finally stopped, the Childe tried to steer the matter back to the main topic.
Although such a humiliating victory was not the kind of victory that the Childe, a battle maniac, desired, Childe was simply unable to deal with this seemingly difficult and unfamiliar Magus.
The Childe has some experience dealing with the mages of this world, but Childe has never seen anyone start by casting a shield on themselves and then just standing there randomly casting spells.
The Childe initially guessed that the opponent might be in poor health, so he believed that he could win as long as he could launch a close-range attack. This was indeed correct, provided that the opponent did not instantly shield him.
It's true that the opponent is in poor health, but just by standing there with their shield up, the Childe can't even scratch them. The opponent doesn't need to expend much energy in battle; they can simply stand there and keep throwing book pages.
As for when the opponent put on the shield... the Childe suspects it was when the opponent activated the Crimson Lotus Barrier.
The Childe still believed he had a chance of defeating her.
The premise is that the woman in front of you doesn't put a shield on herself before the battle begins.
The outcome of the battle between the two will depend on whether Yun Lian'er puts a shield on herself first or the Childe approaches Yun Lian'er first.
Of course, it's no use talking about all this now; what's more important now is to obtain the Gnosis.
Winning is important to the Childe, but the Gnosis is even more important.
Now is not the time to be stubborn and defiant.
"Of course." Chen Luo was not opposed to the Childe's request for a reward, after all, there should be a reward for every commission.
Chen Luo dislikes people who don't give rewards after completing a task, especially those who don't give Chen Luo any rewards.
"This..." Lumine wanted to say something, but Chen Luo stopped her.
Watching the Childe walk step by step toward the Archon's Remains, Lumine wanted to stop him, but after glancing at Chen Luo, she gave up.
Speaking of which, the Gnosis is in Chen Luo's hands, so it seems there's no need to worry about the other party taking the Gnosis out of the Archon's Remains.
"Ying, are you satisfied with this mission? It was a mission to give the Childe a good beating." Seeing that the mission reward was taking a long time to arrive, Chen Luo frantically hinted to Lumine.
"Satisfied." Lumine nodded.
Although Yun Lian'er did leave many weaknesses in her opponent when releasing weakened versions of Forbidden Spell or magic, the Childe couldn't guess correctly every time, so he was hit many times and covered in wounds. If it weren't for the Demon King's Armament, the Childe would probably be kneeling on the ground by now.
The Childe was in a rather disheveled state, which certainly met the conditions for giving the other party a severe beating.
[Ding! Mission complete]
Mmm, that feels good...
"A Luo, did you summon me to avenge her?" Chen Luo received the reward, but on the other side, he heard Yun Lian'er ask in a strange tone.
Chen Luo turned to look at Yun Lian'er. Her indifferent expression, which seemed to say nothing, inexplicably made Chen Luo feel a strange sense of guilt.
"Ahem, the thing is, it's not that I wanted to help her, it's just that she gave me so much," Chen Luo said, half-jokingly.
"I see. Were you paid?" Yun Lian'er stroked her chin thoughtfully and nodded.
If it's just a simple transaction, then there's nothing that can be done.
"..." The phantom summoned by this Soul Summoning Bell looks just like the original.
And isn't the other person having a lot of internal thoughts?
"Lian'er, the battle is over now, it's about time for you to leave," Chen Luo said from the side.
"Well, although I'd like to stay a little longer, it seems like time is running out," Yun Lian'er said helplessly, looking at her slowly breaking leg.
"By the way, this is Teyvat Continent, right? And where we are should be the Golden House, right?" Yun Lian'er suddenly asked.
Yun Lian'er's legs have completely disappeared.
"Ah, yes, that's right." Chen Luo nodded.
If Chen Luo remembered correctly, according to Sister Meng, Yun Lian'er did indeed study Genshin Impact for a period of time after learning that she possessed the Vision.
So it's normal that they know this is the Teyvat Continent and that this is the Golden House.
Or rather, it's perfectly normal.
"If possible, please bring me more Mora here. It seems to be a very good medium for magic." Yun Lian'er said, looking at the Mora scattered all over the Golden House.
At this point, Yun Lian'er had disappeared to the waist level.
"No problem, I'll try to find a reason for you later."
"Well, also, if you could return some of my current memories to my original self, and just to appease me a little, I would be very happy," Yun Lian'er said with a smile.
After saying those words, Yun Lian'er's body completely disappeared...
"Emmm..." Chen Luo listened to Yun Lian'er's last words and fell into deep thought.
Yun Lian'er's earlier use of the word "perfunctory" naturally referred to her wanting Chen Luo to explain why he was on the Teyvat Continent. The fact that she called it perfunctory proves that Yun Lian'er didn't intend to know the whole truth.
She just wanted to know part of the reason, even if it was just a lie to cover it up.
But Yun Lian'er's easygoing nature left Chen Luo somewhat at a loss.
As for the memory issue that Yun Lian'er mentioned, it was something Chen Luo already knew after summoning her.
That is, after Chen Luo summons a friend to fight for him, when the friend disappears, Chen Luo can choose to retain the memory of the friend's help, or even edit it, and then return it to the friend's original body.
It's another rather shameless and despicable feature.
Because memories can be edited, it means that these memory orbs can be used to exert a profound influence on the other person.
After all, the other party can't possibly not even trust their own memories, right?
The word "editing" to some extent represents scoundrels.
Editing is something that can turn black into white and white into yellow.
Using edited memory orbs to achieve certain goals is incredibly easy.
It would be perfect to use it to hide certain dark history or experiences that occurred after the summoning...
Chapter 364 Chen Luo: Foolish! I'll beat you to death, but the Gnosis is still mine!
After Chen Luo stored the memory pearl generated by Yun Lian'er after her disappearance in a newly numbered warehouse, he watched as the Childe came over to pry open the heart of the Geo Archon.
This memory orb will be returned to Yun Lian'er, but certainly not now.
The Childe breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yun Lian'er disappear.
"Hey, Chen Luo, can your summoned friend only last for 5 minutes?" Lumine asked quietly.
"Of course not, the duration of her stay depends on what I want her to accomplish."
"When I actually summon her, I want her to complete a task that involves giving the Childe a good beating, so she will disappear after the beating is successful."
