My Deer Was Kidnapped QAQ

She saw before her a vast plain, and at its edge stood a typical fantasy city shrouded in dark clouds and storms. Above the city, some enormous creatures seemed to be locked in a fierce battle within the clouds.

That is—

"A dragon?" She noticed that the giant creature had six distinctive wings fluttering behind it.

A fantasy world, an elemental system, storms, cities, and six-winged dragons.

The clues were interconnected, constructing a clear and directional clue in Miss Surtr's mind.

"This is... the world of Genshin Impact?" She blinked, vaguely remembering encountering such a mobile game world in Arknights previous life—but that game had only released the first two chapters of its story before she died. She didn't even survive to play the first story event!

Her head throbbed a little, but the pain quickly subsided. She remembered clearly that in the first chapter of the game, the protagonist might have had some presence. But in the second chapter, he was merely a dispensable camera shot, not even needed to advance the plot. This meant that as long as she didn't actively get involved in events, this world would be as harmless and carefree to her as an amusement park.

—Hmm, this time I can try changing the world without lifting a finger. Earn a ticket back. Until then, just leave the troublesome matters to the inherently virtuous people and travelers of this world...

She thought to herself, when suddenly, she saw the clouds above the distant city abruptly disperse—according to the storyline, the giant dragon that attacked the city was being soundly defeated here by a traveler equipped with a temporary cheat. And so the main storyline of the game began.

"I don't need to intervene, because this dragon can't cause any casualties. Everyone in Mondstadt has Wind Glider that allow them to move freely in the air. Even if they are swept away by the storm, they can land safely and easily... After all, this dragon isn't a carnivorous dragon; it only stirs up storms, it doesn't actually want to slaughter indiscriminately."

She tilted her head slightly, even having the leisure to watch as a tiny dot enveloped in wind in the sky forced the six-winged wind dragon into retreat. With a roar, the dragon whipped its tail and fled the city into the distance.

As expected, it's just a storyline set in a beginner's village; even if it were translated into reality, the crisis would only be this level.

Miss Surtr gripped her sword hilt, her body relaxing slightly—she watched the six-winged wind dragon fly towards the direction of the forest where she was. From the dragon's flight pattern, she could tell at a glance that this dragon wouldn't be diving down here.

It just passed over the trees.

It was busy running away and responding; as long as you didn't provoke it, it wouldn't act recklessly or fight.

Just leave it alone.

The girl thought to herself, leaning against a big tree, watching and examining the giant dragon flying overhead—she even had the leisure to carefully examine the details and patterns on the dragon's wings.

From the tip of the feather to the base of the wing.

From the tail to the head.

From dragon claws to...

Arrive...?

The girl's eyes narrowed sharply. She suddenly grabbed the greatsword in her hand.

She saw a motionless human figure emerging from between the dragon's claws, the figure with its head bowed and Elafia's antlers swaying slightly in the wind.

Is that person...?

"... Alina!?"

Just a few words short of 5k... Never mind, I won't reach that word count.

And when I have some free time, I'll compile a list of characters from all the different worlds.

Chapter 88: My Deer Was Kidnapped QAQ

Why is Alina here? — It doesn't matter.

Why was Alina taken away by the wind dragon? — It doesn't matter.

—There's only one important thing, and that's that I made a choice. She came here because of my choice.

So, whether the Fire Keeper's speculation is true or not, I will protect her.

Time seemed to slow, and the intense heat rapidly converged inward from the girl's body. In an instant, verdant blades of grass ignited, and the flames solidified and took shape around her form!

There's no time to dwell on self-destruction anymore. Even forcibly applying knowledge from another world to this one is acceptable. Because all tragedies in this world stem from the inadequacy of those involved. And since that's the case, let's not hesitate when faced with readily available power!

—We'll talk about the aftereffects later! What we need to do now is get Alina off that dragon's grasp!

—She doesn't have any Wind Glider!

Inhale, exhale, and your blood and energy explode. Different kinds of elements converge and collide within your body, releasing powerful energy. She can clearly feel her internal organs constantly shattering and then reforming, from her ribs to her spine, the structures supporting her body constantly breaking apart and then being forcefully glued and solidified back together by her own will.

She had experience, she was confident of victory; she had done this kind of risky thing countless times before. Even though she had only recently acquired this body, and even though she was still completely clueless about the underlying rules of this world, since she could sense the free-floating energy and observe that the surface physical laws of this world were roughly the same as those of many other worlds, she was certain of success!

—I am Surtr.

Once the internal circulation is established, at the cost of most organs becoming inactive, the reactions between different elements have been smoothly generated and are providing stable energy within the thoracic cavity.

Begin by inhaling.

Half a second had passed when the outline of the wind dragon just swept overhead.

Then, exhale.

'Boom--!!!'

The flames erupting at the edge of the forest were clearly visible even within Mondstadt. Then, a crimson streak of fire shot out from the ground, tearing through the atmosphere as it pursued the swiftly moving wind dragon!

—Teyvat, the Wind Dragon, a friend of Barbatos, the Aeolus Wind God. His mind was corrupted by a battle with a poisonous dragon hundreds of years ago. In essence, he is one of the four guardians of this land called Mondstadt; in other words, he can endlessly draw upon the power of the land itself and recover quickly even from injuries.

Ascend into the air, striding swiftly across the atmosphere.

Flames formed wings behind him that propelled the vortex of wind, using the same principles as a jet engine, allowing a human body to keep up with the dragon that controlled the storm, even in the sky.

The dragon flew swiftly, but the trail of fire didn't slow down much. The distance closed little by little, blood boiling with excitement, but the pursuer's mind had to remain calm and focused.

The dragons' loss stems from interference by a cult known as the Abyss Order. Their origins and motives are unimportant; the key is that they will aid the wind dragons in battle, and each one is cunning and treacherous... Alina must be rescued in aerial combat, and if possible, it's best to avoid confronting them all at once.

Hot blood surged in his throat, but before it spilled from his mouth, it was thrown into the makeshift fusion furnace to serve as fuel. His once clear eyes were now bloodshot, and the approaching flames triggered a dragon's roar.

It discovered it—which was only natural.

It is injured—the result of a recent trip by travelers in the city.

The dragon suddenly swung its tail, unleashing a thick blade of air that swept towards the girl like an advancing city wall. The girl dodged, but the dragon used the opportunity to create distance during its charge. With a simultaneous flap of its six wings, a torrential downpour of wind elemental arrows rained down upon the girl.

Don't avoid minor injuries.

Several wind arrows struck his body, creating a diffusion reaction with the concentrated fire element and being violently thrown behind him. However, the explosion itself also served as a propulsion mechanism—the first few arrows, landing in front of him, slightly slowed him down. But after these few, more wind arrows were detonated the instant they were thrown behind him, and the thrust immediately erupted!

—A serious injury is unacceptable.

The swift dragon realized the pursuer was difficult to deal with. It suddenly flipped in the air, making a rolling maneuver that created a huge vortex of wind—a wind so pure and powerful that it could easily tear even steel to shreds.
