[Holy shit holy shit holy shit, I can't believe there's more to this!]
[Is this even appropriate to show? If they really depict it, won't it be too gory?]
[Whether it's appropriate or not, I can't watch it. Yuna's ordeal has already given me nightmares for days. Seeing more would drive me insane!]
[The Abyss... that damn Abyss! My hatred for it just keeps growing!]
[Sniffle... to see Yuna still alive...]
[So my Yuna really was murdered here?]
-
At the summit of Mt. Kanna, the black-robed figure descended from the sky, landing before Yuna after slamming her heavily against the altar.
The figure loomed tall, its presence utterly oppressive as it stood before Yuna.
Knowing full well the black-robed figure's strength and her own inadequacy, Yuna's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route.
The black-robed figure advanced step by step, while Yuna retreated inch by inch.
Itto, who had been watching the entire scene, finally couldn't restrain himself any longer. He stepped in front of Yuna, glaring fiercely at the black-robed figure:
"You bastard! What kind of coward picks on a girl? If you've got the guts, come at me instead! Ahhhhh!"
Itto's intervention had no effect whatsoever. The black-robed figure simply passed right through him, continuing its relentless advance toward Yuna.
With a thud, Yuna's back slammed against the altar, leaving her cornered with nowhere left to retreat.
She gritted her teeth, the Hydro Vision on her back glowing brightly.
Leaping off the altar, Yuna enlarged her Whatever Claymore tenfold and brought it crashing down on the black-robed figure.
Faced with Yuna's most powerful strike, the figure casually raised its left hand and caught the blade.
The shockwave of elemental energy rippled outward, sending Yuna flying backward.
The gulf in their power was insurmountable. Against an opponent so overwhelmingly superior, Yuna stood no chance of victory.
Using the massive recoil from the clash with the black-robed figure's left hand, Yuna abandoned her Claymore and fled.
The black-robed figure held the Claymore, unhurried. After glancing at it, It casually tossed it aside.
With a slight lift of its right hand, a clone detached from its body and gave chase to the fleeing Yuna.
Yuna had barely leapt off Mt. Kanna when the clone seized her by the nape of her neck and dragged her back. She flailed her limbs wildly in a desperate attempt to fight back, but against such overwhelming power, her efforts were utterly futile.
Yuna was slammed heavily to the ground again, this time face-first.
She groaned, unable to move for a long moment, the pain searing through her.
"Yuna!"
The onlookers watched in horror, their eyes bloodshot. Kuki Shinobu's gaze burned with hatred as she glared at the black-robed figure, wishing she could tear it apart with her bare hands.
"Little one..." Yae Miko's eyes had never been so cold.
Lumine shielded Paimon, covering her eyes to spare her from the sight. But Paimon stubbornly refused to be held, her wide eyes glaring fiercely at the black-robed figure.
The live stream viewers erupted in a frenzy of comments, cursing the black-robed figure, the Abyss, and Mihoyo alike.
In the System Space, Jiang Mumu watched the Emotional Value slowly climbing, her heart pounding with anticipation.
Almost there! Just a little more!
-
Beside the altar, the black-robed figure stepped forward, grabbed Yuna by the hair, and yanked her upward.
Yuna frantically tugged at her hair, tears streaming from the pain as she stared into the black-robed figure's eyes... if it even had any.
"You... monster..."
Yuna hadn't uttered a single sound until now, making Kuki Shinobu and the others even more distressed.
Under what circumstances did Yuna's (sister's) screams and cries escape her lips?
What exactly has that damned black-robed figure done to her?!
The energy within Ei's shadow form threatened to erupt, but she suppressed it with an iron will.
Ignoring Yuna's struggles, the black-robed figure said in a low, rumbling voice, "You promised to exchange your soul for their lives. Now is the time to fulfill your end of the bargain."
"Come on, take it!" Yuna roared, her scalp nearly tearing off as she clenched her teeth in defiance.
The black-robed figure's words pierced Lumine, Kuki Shinobu, and Itto to the core. Yuna had sacrificed everything for them...
Itto's teeth ground together, his aura slowly intensifying.
"Yuna!!!"
Paimon, sobbing, flew upward, desperately trying to snatch Yuna from the black-robed figure's grasp.
For Paimon, this was the most terrifying nightmare imaginable. Yuna had always been so kind to her, cooking delicious meals and holding her while they played. She couldn't bear to see Yuna being bullied like this!
"Waaah! Waaah!"
Realizing her efforts were futile, Paimon broke down in tears.
Lumine immediately rushed over, scooped up the little one, and forcibly turned her head away, shielding her from the unfolding horror.
The black-robed figure set Yuna down and conjured a long, black blade in its left hand.
Swish!
The blade flashed, severing Yuna's left arm.
"Ah—!"
Even with her remarkable resilience, the searing pain of the amputation forced a scream from Yuna's lips.
"You—you monster! Just kill me quickly!!"
The black-robed figure seemed deaf to her pleas. It struck Yuna's right arm, but the blade lodged in her shoulder without severing it.
"Aaaaaah!"
Yuna's agonizing scream echoed through the air as the figure wrenched the blade free and hacked down again, still failing to sever the limb.
Yuna's entire body trembled from the excruciating pain. She frantically kicked at the ground, trying to drag herself backward.
But her desperate efforts gained her less ground than the figure took with a single step forward.
"You're a demon! You're a demon!"
Terror filled Yuna's eyes as the agonizing pain wracking her body forced her to wail uncontrollably. The massive blood loss drained the color from her small face, leaving it deathly pale.
The black-robed figure remained merciless, continuing its assault. Perhaps sensing Yuna's imminent demise, It offered a rare explanation:
"Only through the most agonizing death will your soul become truly delectable. The Abyss will soon engulf all of Teyvat, and your sacrifice will provide the Lord of the Abyss with the purest energy. Be proud, one of the Goddess's Seven Souls."
With five precise strikes, the figure severed Yuna's right hand. Six more cuts severed her left leg, and seven finished the job by severing her right leg.
"Aaaaaaaahhhh!!"
"Waaah, it hurts so much! Please, let me go! It hurts so much, it really hurts..."
"Waaah, Sister, waaah—"
Throughout the ordeal, Yuna's screams echoed incessantly, escalating from initial shrieks to desperate wails, before finally fading into voiceless, guttural moans.
Pain, despair, fear...
Kuki Shinobu trembled violently, her face twisted in fury, her eyes bloodshot with rage. The pent-up emotions exploded within her, forcing a monstrous roar from her throat.
"The Abyss! The Abyss!!!"
Lumine stared in frozen horror. She had known Yuna's death would be painful, but... she never imagined it would be this agonizing!
The Abyss... that damned Abyss!
Lumine's fists clenched until her knuckles cracked, her gaze chillingly cold.
