A gentle breeze swept past, brushing the white hem of Lumine's dress against her soft calves. Beside her, Paimon also widened her eyes and said:
"Huh? Has it been purified?"
"This is incredible!"
Even as the Anemo Archon, Venti would have found it difficult to easily purify the lingering power of the Evil Dragon Durin. Otherwise, he would have solved Stormterror's problem long ago.
