Alright now, just come down~
Jibril gracefully lowered her altitude and just as she was about to touch the ground, she slightly loosened her grip on Lumine.
Lumine's foot lightly tapped in the ground twice before she landed nimbly on the ground like a cat.
"Jibril, aren't you going to come down?" Lumine looked up at the Flügel still hovering in the air with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Ah..."
The Flügel slightly twisted her body while her wings slightly retracted. She pointed towards her dangling feet with a hint of embarrassment.
Lumine looked down—
Her delicate feet were slightly curled, the arch of her foot tensed in a curve and the soles of her feet were slightly red.
"The roads in the city... are a bit rough on my feet." Jibril murmured softly. "I'll just fly for a little while."
Lumine blinked as her eyes shifted between those bare feet and the Flügel's cheeks.
So... why don't you have any shoes?
At the same time, Amber had walked over from not far away.
"I'm really jealous of you Jibril...."
The Flügel pointed at herself in confusion. "Me?"
"Yes! You can fly all the time! If I could fly, it'd be like a dream come true!"
Amber excitedly hugged herself as she imagined having wings.
"Being in the air after a while tends to get tiring but you don't seem to get tired at all..."
"Of course it'll be normal for you to get tired. It's an artificial tool and not a real pair of wings." The Flügel smugly smiled.
Amber looked at the Flügel's wings as her eyes held a look of reluctance, then turned her head towards the blonde. "Lumine, you did an amazing job for your first time!"
"Not really, you taught me very well." Lumine said modestly.
"No! Taking the first step with a wind glider is very difficult, those without courage aren't able to do it!"
Hearing Amber's words, Lumine unconsciously glanced at Jibril but the Flügel just tilted her head upwards as she was seemingly observing the sky.
"Alright, let's save the rest for later. I'll treat you to Good Hunter, how about that Sticky Honey Roast I promised~"
"Well what are you waiting for? Paimon wants to go to Good Hunter now!"
Paimon, hearing about food, popped out from who knows where as her eyes sparkled while she looked at Amber.
Amber softly smiled. "Alright then, shall we go?"
Before Lumine could finish her sentence, Paimon was already sprinting towards the restaurant but the Flügel behind her had grabbed her cape.
She turned back anxiously and saw the indifferent Jibril.
"Jibril! Let Paimon go!"
What gluttony!
'System! How am I supposed to save the world with such gluttony?'
The System refused to reply.
'...'
So Jibril decided to ignore Paimon and looked at Amber who was beside her. "Amber, does it often rain in the city?"
"No... especially recently, It—"
Amber suddenly looked up at the sky. The once blue sky was rapidly turning gray, the temperature plummeted, and the wind became heavy.
"What's happening..?" Lumine also felt that something was wrong.
Bystanders around them fled into buildings and an ominous aura quickly spread.
However, when Lumine looked at Jibril, she saw that the Flügel's golden crossed eyes were already turning slightly black along with her wings as a smile hung on her lips.
"Oh no, it's Stormterror! Run!"
Roar—
Almost at the same time as Amber shouted, a huge dark shadow descended from the sky.
Stormterror had appeared in Mondstadt's City without warning.
After an angry and prolonged roar from the dragon, three violent tornadoes appeared as they began to sweep throughout the entire city. One of the tornadoes happened to be heading towards the group.
"Paimon, how high have you flown?!"
"Huh? Huh?!"
Before Paimon could react, Jibril had already spread her wings and plunged into the raging tornado, her figure instantly swallowed.
"Jibril!!" Lumine almost rushed forward without thinking, completely forgetting the danger's around.
"Traveler! Are you crazy! Come back!" Paimon stomped her feet in the air as she felt anxious.
"But Jibril—"
Lumine's words stopped short as Amber, quick as a flash, had grabbed her arm and dragged her back.
"She'll be fine! We have to first—"
Just then, another sudden blast of wind struck from the side. Before Lumine could react, she was swept up by the tornado.
In the nick of time, she let go of Amber's hand, allowing herself to disappear into the howling tornado.
Amidst the chaotic wind, everything spun before her eyes and the only thing Lumine could feel was herself getting farther and farther from the ground.
"Lumine!"
Seeing a white figure flying towards her, Lumine quickly grabbed the small fairy.
"Paimon, are... you okay!" Lumine's voice was drowned out by the wind. "Hold on tight!"
Without Lumine needing to say more, Paimon had already gripped Lumine's hair tightly.
The pain in her scalp made the blonde's eyes twitch, but now was clearly not the time to care about that.
The ornament on her chest flickered slightly and the moment she felt the airflow cut off, Lumine unhesitatingly spread her wind glider behind her.
Feeling herself flying steadily in the air, Lumine hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when a gust of airflow suddenly hit her from behind.
"Watch out!"
There was no time to turn. Lumine's body instinctively maneuvered the wind glider to turn sharply to the side.
Almost simultaneously, a familiar figure tore through the storm and suddenly appeared not far from them.
She extended both arms as she directly clamped the dragon's head from above and below.
To Lumine's disbelief, this girl, who was smaller than the dragon's claw, was actually able to stop the dragon.
Boom—!
The giant dragon and the angel wrestled in mid-air as they unleashed a deafening shockwave.
The violent air current pushed Lumine farther away, yet her eyes remained fixed on this fantastical scene:
The dragon's mouth was slowly forcing its mouth shut while its teeth grinding with an unpleasant screech, and its body slowly retreated. While Jibril still looked completely at ease.
What did she eat to grow up so strong!?
Roar—!!
Stormterror was enraged. This wasn't any ordinary enemy, He has to strike with full force!
A deep hum vibrated in the dragon's throat.
Boom—!
A scorching green light erupted.
At the same moment, the Flügel's figure instantly vanished, narrowly grazing past the Anemo beam shot by the dragon and reappearing beside Lumine.
"Jibril, are you okay!" Lumine hurriedly grabbed the Flügel's wrist.
"I'm fine Lumine," the Flügel extended her right hand, pointing at the dragon roaring furiously at her.
In an instant, violent black energy surged like a tide, gradually forming into a dozen swords around Jibril's hand as it circles around the Flügel.
What sort of chant should I do?
Roar!!!!!!!!
"I am the bone of my sword. Stee-"
[T/L: Wrong anime bro (¬_¬") ]
Just as the battle was about to erupt, the giant dragon twisted its body, its six wings flapping as he quickly flew away.
"Ran away?" Paimon's mouth hung open in a daze.
Stormterror's figure grew smaller and smaller as it gradually became just a faint green dot.
