Deep within the dim ruins.
The Statue of the Seven hung upside down above a platform. Dark power formed a vortex that constantly swirled around it, seemingly trying to corrupt the statue.
Before the platform stood not only two Abyss Mages, one Cryo and one Pyro, but also a tall, purple monster holding a scripture catalyst, its entire body wreathed in fine arcs of lightning.
Had Ellin seen this monster, she would certainly have cried out in shock.
Because this monster was none other than the Abyss Lector-Violet Lightning, a creature from the Abyss!
These monsters were powerful. In the lore, their rank far exceeded that of Abyss Mages; they could be called the Four Heavenly Kings under Aether.
Simply standing there, the Abyss Lector-Violet Lightning radiated an eerie aura that made anyone nearby deeply uncomfortable.
But Noelle showed no fear. When she saw the Statue of the Seven hanging upside down above the raised platform, fury surged through her!
The Anemo Archon was the deity worshipped by all the people of Mondstadt. Hanging the Statue of the Seven upside down was a desecration of the Anemo Archon and a grave insult to her faith!
She could not tolerate this blasphemy for even another second. Without a word, she gripped her greatsword in both hands and charged.
"I will not let you desecrate the Anemo Archon!"
Enraged, Noelle held her sword in both hands and immediately charged at the Abyss Mage and Abyss Herald.
"Oh? A little mouse from Mondstadt City has scurried in! What a surprise..."
The Pyro Abyss Mage gave a sinister chuckle and floated forward.
"My lord Lector, leave this little mouse to me. There is no need to dirty your hands!"
With that, the Pyro Abyss Mage activated its shield and moved to meet Noelle.
