"Wendy?!"
"Hmm, do you feel like your illusions about gods have been shattered?"
"..."
Noelle did indeed feel a sense of disillusionment at this moment.
The main problem is that Wendy's image is so different from that of the wind god that it makes her faith in Barbatos waver.
But after thinking about all the things about Wendy, Noelle felt that his identity was indeed very mysterious.
For example, he suddenly appeared in Mondstadt a few years ago; for example, he can sing many lost ancient poems; for example, the music he plays can attract the Sky Dragon Dvalin...
These things all suggest the possibility that he is the god of wind.
Seeing Noel's somewhat dazed expression, Xia Zhi said, "I've already told you my identity. Now, try your sword."
Noelle composed herself: "Okay."
She gripped the metal hilt of her sword and slashed at the wooden dummy in front of her.
The solid dummy split in two, revealing an extremely smooth cut surface.
How does the sword feel in your hand?
"So light! So fast!"
"This sword can change size, but it requires you to infuse it with wind energy to maintain it. The longer and wider the sword, the more energy it requires."
"so amazing!"
"After transforming, you should have mastered quite a few wind-based spells. You can try using them."
"Ok!"
"I'll give you five minutes to familiarize yourself with it. After five minutes, I will break the time freeze in this area."
"Hey! Only five minutes?"
"The same goes for Fischl."
"Oh……"
Noelle quickly began to carefully familiarize herself with this unfamiliar yet powerful force within her body.
Xia Zhi stood quietly to the side, watching her.
Five minutes passed, and Xia Zhi said something, taking out a test tube containing some kind of black liquid from his inventory.
Noelle sensed an ominous aura coming from the test tube.
"Mr. Xia, what is this?"
"The aura of the abyss."
"Huh? Mr. Xia, what do you want to do with such a bad thing?"
"I'm going to make you a simple object finder."
"Object finder?"
“Weren’t you defeated by the Abyss Mage before? There’s definitely more than one Abyss Mage lurking in Mondstadt. I happen to know a bit about Abyss Aura, so I can use it to create a special instrument that can help you find those hidden Abyss Mages.”
"That sounds amazing!"
A moment later, a small compass appeared in Xia Zhi's hand.
He took out a syringe, injected a little bit of [Abyssal Aura] into the compass, and then handed the compass to Noelle.
"It will guide you. Just treat tonight's battle to get back at you as a magnificent performance by a magical girl."
"it is good!"
Noelle carefully took the instrument.
Xia Zhi broke the time freeze in this area.
Not far away, Rosalia peeked out from behind a large tree, only to find that the two figures that had just been in her sight had suddenly vanished.
Rosalia felt something was off.
She frowned, walked to the open space, and looked around, but didn't see any strange figures.
Only one dummy that had been cut in half was found.
Rosalia bent down, extended a finger, and traced the smooth cut, squinting her eyes: "Very fresh marks... but where did the person go?"
The cat in my arms let out a soft meow.
Rosalia hugged the cat and stood up straight.
--
Noelle's compass had only one pointer, which was now pointing firmly in a fixed direction.
That is the source of the abyss-like aura emanating from the vicinity.
Noelle cast a wind spell on herself, making her as light as a feather and able to easily leap across rooftops.
Soon, she reached the destination indicated by the compass.
It was another dark alleyway.
A mage from the abyss was hopping around a large tree, occasionally uttering eerie whispers.
Noelle, wielding the [Invisible Greatsword], silently appeared behind it and delivered a direct strike.
A thin elemental shield immediately appeared on the surface of the Abyss Mage's body.
This is the move that defeated Noelle in one blow the night before last.
But the same trick doesn't work today.
Noelle's invisible greatsword sliced through the elemental shield and the monster in front of her in two as easily as cutting tofu.
Watching the monster that had easily defeated her before finally being easily defeated by her and turned into ashes, Noelle couldn't help but exhale.
Magical girls are amazing!
She lowered her head and looked at the compass in her hand again; the needle began to spin once more.
This means that there are still abyssal monsters lurking in Mondstadt.
Noelle felt her body brimming with the power to slay.
After slaying several abyssal monsters, Noelle felt a faint, strange fluctuation emanating from the hilt of her sword.
For some reason, she was able to understand that this fluctuation referred to the ability to freeze time.
Noelle thought for a moment, then took the compass and went to the next abyssal monster. This time, she didn't rush into battle directly, but tried to unleash the faint fluctuation she had just sensed.
Centered on Noelle, an area of approximately twenty meters around her became frozen in time.
Noelle was a little surprised.
She never expected that she could also wield such magical time-manipulation power after her transformation.
The abyssal monster seemed to have turned into a statue, standing motionless in the shadows.
Noelle strolled through the stillness of time, walked toward it, then grasped the hilt of the sword and slashed down the invisible blade.
The troublesome abyssal monster was instantly reduced to ashes.
So strong...
Having broken the time freeze, Noelle was about to set off to slay the next monster when she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Then, a blue wind aura enveloped her.
The next moment, Noelle transformed back into her original form as a little maid from her magical girl form.
Noelle felt a sense of weakness coming from within her body.
My transformation... has it been canceled?
How come it was lifted so quickly?
Is it because the item's energy has been used up?
Noelle braced herself against the wall, trying to calm her weakened state.
Mr. Xia did not lie to himself.
With his help, she successfully became a magical girl.
Next, we'll take the sword hilt back to charge it.
--
After handing the [Wind Sword Hilt] to Noelle, Xia Zhi returned to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he found Xia Lin and Xia Le lying on his bed.
"Big brother, where did you go just now?"
"I have something to do outside."
"Is it finished?"
"Ah."
