"A stray dog that only knows how to hide and dodge, grovel on the ground like the ugly thing you are." Seeing Barbatos dodge so nimbly, the Mysterious Girl frowned and spoke.
"Forgetting about me would be quite troublesome!" Looking at the Mysterious Girl standing in mid-air, Illustrious condensed a snow-white, transparent spear in her hand.
Countless streams of Extreme Ice Power gathered onto the spear. A terrifying aura radiated from it, and the spear erupted in dazzling light.
The spear's light grew increasingly intense, eventually resembling a brilliant sun in the sky, making it impossible to look at directly.
Throwing the spear forcefully, it shot out like a Javelin, hurtling toward the Mysterious Girl.
After traveling a distance from Illustrious, the spear gradually enlarged, stopping only when it reached two zhang in size. The enormous spear tore through the sky, causing the space in its path to tremble. Sonic booms echoed from the air, and its terrifying might seemed capable of piercing a massive hole in the heavens.
The power contained within the huge spear was so immense that the Mysterious Girl, who had been chasing Barbatos with tentacles, was forced to stop her attack and rapidly condense a massive, pale blue, rhombus-shaped light shield in front of her.
"Spatial Barrier!"
Her expression slightly solemn, the Mysterious Girl let out a low shout that echoed across the sky, staring intently as the incoming spear violently collided with the shield she had deployed.
"Boom!" The spear and the shield slammed together, unleashing a thunderous roar from the point of impact. In the azure sky, waves of energy shockwaves surged out from the collision site, spreading rapidly in all directions.
After a moment, looking at the ripples of energy dispersal and seeing the Mysterious Girl still standing unharmed in mid-air, Illustrious's expression grew serious. She muttered under her breath, "Monster! This person is completely fine even after that."
"The attacks from you two are truly weak! If your subsequent attacks are all like this, then you will both die here today!" A cold smile appeared on the Mysterious Girl's delicate face.
Raising her hand, the Mysterious Girl tore the space beside her, causing hundreds of golden ripples to appear. From each golden ripple, a Spatial Spear slowly emerged.
The Mysterious Girl swung her arm forcefully, and the hundreds of Spatial Spears shot toward Illustrious, who was not far away in the air. The vast number of Spatial Spears moved with great momentum, accompanied by sonic booms, tearing through the sky. Their terrifying aura resembled a massive army, crushing any thought of resistance.
Looking at the hundreds of Spatial Spears instantly tearing through the air, not a trace of emotion appeared on Illustrious's face. When the hundreds of spears were only two zhang away from hitting Illustrious's body...
Illustrious bent her body downward, closed her eyes, and adopted a drawing-the-sword stance. The flow of time around her slowed down, and she concentrated all her Extreme Ice Power onto the skyward blade.
The blade of the skyward blade erupted in dazzling light, which grew increasingly intense until, finally, it resembled a brilliant sun.
The Extreme Ice Power continuously strengthened the skyward blade, radiating a terrifying aura. When the power reached its peak, Illustrious suddenly opened her eyes. The flow of time around her instantly returned to normal. A powerful aura burst forth from Illustrious's body, and a formidable blast of energy, strong enough to cause fluctuations in space, surged out around Illustrious and spread rapidly outwards.
With a slightly cold expression, Illustrious let out a low shout. The skyward blade's body shone brightly as she drew it fully toward the Mysterious Girl in mid-air.
"Fission Ice Slash!"
After drawing this sword, the empty air was sliced open, leaving a snow-white arc forty zhang long in the azure sky. The hundreds of incoming Spatial Spears were all cut into two halves, subsequently exploding one after another in the sky.
"Crack!" This terrifying drawing-the-sword slash not only cut the hundreds of Spatial Spears in half but also continued toward the Mysterious Girl with undiminished force, directly slicing a crack into the blue rhombus light shield the Mysterious Girl had hidden.
When a crack appeared in the shield, the Mysterious Girl frowned slightly and said defiantly, "What? You actually cracked my Spatial Barrier? Hmph! I underestimated you! But don't think you can beat me just like that. I still have plenty of trump cards."
"You won't get the chance to use them! Break!" Barbatos began playing a wooden lyre. Sweet music filled the air, and while the music played, a conical Anemo element drill five zhang wide rapidly condensed in front of Barbatos. After plucking the final string, the music stopped, and the gigantic drill shot toward the Mysterious Girl.
"Hehehe! Let me give you a hit too!" Illustrious raised the skyward blade high, mobilizing the Extreme Motion Power within her body. The Extreme Motion Power was released from within and instantly gathered onto the sword body, abruptly forming a fifteen-meter-long ice sword.
A terrifying aura continuously radiated from the ice sword. Looking at the Mysterious Girl hovering in mid-air, Illustrious fiercely chopped the ice sword down, and a massive, snow-white Cryo element beam shot out from the skyward blade.
Looking at the terrifying attacks launched by the two of them, the Mysterious Girl's face was solemn. "Damn it! Two against one, this isn't fair."
Although she said that, the Mysterious Girl knew it was useless complaining. After all, who talks about fairness on the battlefield? If they can gang up on you, why would they insist on a one-on-one fight?
Facing the two incoming attacks, the Mysterious Girl immediately deployed her Spatial Barrier. The previous shield had only used half of her power. This time, she poured all her strength into the defense, refusing to believe that the two people in front of her could still crack it.
The drill and the beam struck the Spatial Barrier simultaneously. The two attacks collided violently, like meteorites hitting the ground. A deep sonic boom suddenly erupted at the point of contact, and waves of energy shockwaves surged out from the collision site, spreading rapidly in all directions.
"Crack!" A tiny fissure appeared in the Spatial Barrier, which the Mysterious Girl had been absolutely confident would not break. It then grew like a rolling snowball, getting larger and larger until it finally shattered with a crash. The Spatial Barrier scattered in the air like broken glass shards.
"What? How is this possible..." Without the Spatial Barrier, the Mysterious Girl was completely engulfed by the two attacks. After a moment, a figure fell from the air—that figure was the Mysterious Girl.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, a Spatial Portal suddenly opened up at the landing spot, and a person wearing snow-white robes caught the Mysterious Girl.
Seeing the person in the snow-white robes, Barbatos immediately recognized him and said, as expected, "It's you, Abyss Mage from the Abyss! As I thought, this Mysterious Girl is related to you! Attacking Mondstadt, which I protect, time and time again—I won't let you get away today."
