The girl in a white top and blue skirt hovered amid the endless storm.
Countless eyes gathered on her. Everyone wanted to see what miracle the white-haired girl who had once driven Stormterror back with a single arrow would perform this time!
Under their watchful gazes, Ellin beckoned, and a longsword glowing blue and white appeared in her hand.
Holding the Skyward Blade, she brought it to her waist.
At the same time, the Electro Vision sewn onto the back of her White Mist Garment trembled violently, blazing with purple light as tiny arcs of electricity burst from it.
Vast amounts of Electro answered her call and surged toward her, then she poured them furiously into the Skyward Blade.
Only the durability of a five-star weapon could withstand such an immense influx of Elemental Energy. An ordinary weapon would likely have shattered long ago, and even a four-star weapon probably could not endure many infusions of Electro on this scale.
The wind roared. As Ellin's long white hair danced wildly in the gale, its tips began to glow purple.
The Electro Vision trembled even more intensely.
She summoned more and more Electro and channeled it into her sword.
An unknown amount of time passed.
She opened her eyes, purple light flickering faintly within her blue irises.
Dense arcs of electricity bloomed and burst around her and between the strands of her hair!
The longsword in her hand had been infused with so much Electro that it blazed with brilliant purple light!
The Electro was so concentrated that it formed droplets of electric plasma, which dripped from the sword's tip.
The lightning blazing on her sword was like a purple sun amid the storm.
Had people not known that the Electro Archon was in Inazuma, they might truly have believed she had descended upon Mondstadt!
The storm raged!
The gale sent her hair and clothes snapping wildly, while the powerful suction of the two tornadoes pulled at her body as though trying to tear her apart.
Yet she showed no fear, still hovering proudly in the air with her sword in hand.
As countless people watched, she raised her longsword overhead, then brought it down in a single slash!
"Heavenly... Glimmer!!"
Her sword fell, and thunder exploded!
Immense Electro mingled with sword energy, transforming into a thin streak of light.
At first glance, the streak was no thicker than a hair, yet it shone with a dazzling brilliance no one could ignore!
That streak of light connected heaven and earth. Though only a hair's breadth wide, it resembled a cutting line that divided the world!
Seen from afar, the entire world looked like a painting, one that encompassed both Mondstadt and the tornadoes.
Within that painting, the thin streak of purple lightning stood out like an ink stain on snow.
Then the streak of lightning grew brighter and brighter, as though the immense Electro sealed within it was about to erupt.
As Electro spilled out, the divided painting began to shift out of alignment.
Finally, a deafening boom rang out!
The vast Electro within that streak of light erupted in a tremendous explosion!
The two rampaging tornadoes collapsed instantly in the blast.
The storm swirled with bursting sparks, scattering lightning across the sky.
Then the lightning and the storm faded together into the world.
At the same time, Ellin's body suddenly went limp as she hovered in the air.
Of all her moves, this slash possessed the greatest destructive power.
But with her current abilities, she could use it only once. After unleashing it, all her stamina would be exhausted!
Moreover, its power to destroy both tornadoes instantly was largely thanks to Venti's help. On her own, that Heavenly Glimmer could have destroyed only one tornado, and even that would have been a struggle.
With her stamina now depleted, she could no longer remain aloft on the wind and plunged straight out of the sky.
Fortunately, the Thousand-Year Wind of the Anemo Archon cradled her body and lowered her safely to the ground.
After she landed, the Anemo Archon summoned Healing Wind to restore her depleted stamina.
When Jean and Diluc saw Ellin falling from the sky, they immediately rushed over to catch her.
But before they had made it halfway, they saw Ellin, fully restored and brimming with energy, shoot into High Heaven amid a vast surge of Anemo, heading straight for the dragon.
High in the sky, Lumine's battle with Stormterror continued.
In the game, this part of the story consisted of Lumine chasing and attacking Stormterror while he kept flying forward without fighting back at all.
But a game was different from reality, after all.
The Stormterror before her would not simply take a beating without retaliating.
An enraged Stormterror was no easy opponent. His enormous body circled through the sky as he alternated between breath attacks, massive Anemo Bombs, and crushing strikes with his huge claws.
Under such a fierce assault, Lumine could barely hold her own, occasionally hurling Anemo Bombs at Stormterror.
Without Venti's help, Stormterror would have torn Lumine apart long ago.
"Roar!!!"
Stormterror roared and launched two enormous Anemo Bombs at Lumine.
Seeing them coming, Lumine could only draw her sword to meet the attack.
But just then, Stormterror beat his wings. Vast amounts of Anemo gathered around him, sending his flight speed soaring.
With a flap of his wings and a sweeping turn, he circled behind Lumine in an instant. At the same time, his enormous claw swept toward her, carrying a massive Wind Blade.
With Anemo Bombs attacking from the front and a dragon's claw striking from behind, Lumine suddenly found herself caught between two attacks.
If she blocked the Anemo Bombs, Stormterror's sharp claws and Wind Blade would tear her apart.
If she blocked the claws behind her, the Anemo Bombs would blast her to death instead!
She was trapped in an impossible dilemma.
But just then-
"Focus on the Anemo Bombs! Leave your back to me!"
A pleasant voice rang out.
Lumine's expression brightened. Hearing that voice, she chose to trust it, entrusting her life to its owner.
With her Dull Blade in hand, she charged straight at the Anemo Bombs.
At the same time, a blue-skirted figure wrapped in countless streaks of lightning became a purple flash, bursting through the clouds from below.
Empowered by both Anemo and Electro, that purple flash moved at incredible speed, arriving between Lumine and Stormterror in an instant.
The white-haired girl in the blue skirt emerged from the lightning. With the lightning-wreathed Skyward Blade in hand, she delivered a rising slash, firmly blocking the dragon's claw as it reached for Lumine!
At the same time, Lumine destroyed both Anemo Bombs.
"Are you all right, Lumine?" Ellin asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Ellin!" Lumine replied.
"Good!"
Ellin nodded, then gave Lumine a confident smile.
"Then let's drive this dragon away together!"
"All right!" Lumine put away her Dull Blade, and another Anemo Bomb formed in her hand.
With that, the two girls became streaks of light and clashed with Dvalin in the sky.
