Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 610 The Sealed Land (Part 2)

Rumble!

The mountain trembled violently, and snow slid down its slopes with a heavy rumble.

Rek'os frowned slightly, and in a flash appeared in front of the tunnel halfway up the mountain. Rednos followed closely behind, and the two of them stared at the frozen mountainside with solemn expressions.

"It seems the situation inside is not optimistic," Rednos said, unusually serious.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from deep within the tunnel.

Upon hearing the sound, the two men frowned and stared intently into the depths. A moment later, five figures emerged from within.

Leading the way were Kailin and Zixuan, while Moyan and Zhao Heng followed behind, supporting a shirtless, short-haired man.

Rek's pupils contracted sharply.

“Rednos, Rek'os!” Karin shouted.

Rednos blinked, his nerves relaxing: "Oh, it's you guys. How are things going?"

"It's not very optimistic. The Fallen Gods Guild has already entered the Abyss. Although Sugnir has gone to chase after them, there's no guarantee that something won't go wrong," Zhao Heng said.

At this moment, Solgarreh released the hands of the two men who were supporting him, raised his head, and came to Rek'Os.

"I'm sorry, Lord Hyotei, I... I couldn't stop them." He knelt on one knee and apologized.

Seeing this, Rednos looked somewhat surprised.

Rek'os shook his head: "It's alright, you've done your best. Go and rest now."

Solgarley nodded, but only stood aside and did not leave.

"Huh? Could this be Solgalei, one of the Three Saints of the Glacier? I thought he had been executed on the spot back then, but I didn't expect you to have him guarding the mountain all this time." Rednos walked over and said, his expression slightly surprised, but his tone was very calm.

Upon hearing this, Solgarrek looked at him: "The same face as you, and the aura emanating from the shadows, could this be the Shadow Guardian born a hundred years after I was captured?"

“Oh? You recognize me?” Rednos looked at him with interest.

"No, I just sensed his 'Saint Venerable' aura on you. I was suppressed here, and the only guardians at the time were Ice Emperor, Moon Saint, and Blood Princess."

“I see.” Rednos nodded.

At this moment, Karin became anxious: "Hey, can't you talk later? If you delay any longer, the Fallen God Guild will really succeed."

Rek'os sighed softly, "You're right, now is not the time for reminiscing. The most urgent task is to stop the Fallen Gods' Guild."

"So, will the Holy Venerable help?" Mo Yan asked.

He shook his head: "The lord didn't say it explicitly, only that he would help if absolutely necessary, but I'm afraid the main idea is that we have to rely on ourselves."

"No way?" Karin said, utterly disappointed.

"Alright, stop saying I'm wasting time. If we don't act now, things could really go wrong," Rednos said, arms crossed.

Rek'os nodded: "That's right, Reidnos. Go down the mountain and inform Caesar. As for Clementine, tell them to stay put."

"Alright, then you'd better be careful." Rednos lowered his hands, then turned and walked down the mountain.

“Let’s go then.” Rek’Os composed himself and then walked into the cave.

"We? You mean we're going too? Are you kidding me? We just got out, and it's freezing cold there..."

Karin was taken aback. But before she could finish speaking, Rek'os interrupted her.

"Don't worry, I'll warm you up. That way you'll have an advantage when dealing with the Fallen Gods' Legion."

After speaking, Rek'os raised his hand and gently waved it, a gentle elemental force enveloping the four of them and dispelling the chill around them.

“Let’s go. Although Sugnir is strong, his arrogance and vindictive nature might cause trouble.” Rek’Os stepped forward, and the four exchanged glances before following.

Solgarley stood there, watching their figures disappear into the depths of the tunnel, remaining silent for a long time. Finally, he turned and walked down the mountain, his steps faltering.

……

Deep within the abyss, It and the other four had found their way and arrived as scheduled.

After passing through the long corridor, an oval ice mirror stood before them.

It was as if it were embedded in the wall, with icicles around it connected by chains that bound it tightly.

"Finally found it." It walked to the mirror with a smile, holding the Dimensional Shadow Stone in his left hand and the "Ice Elemental Power" that he had recently extracted in his right.

"Is this the sealed site of one of the ancient calamities?" Feng Ling asked, hands on her hips.

“That’s right. Legend has it that in the past, when the Eastern Divine Bird fell, its flames were stolen by a demon who loved to devour fire. Since then, the demon has transformed into the Fire Demon Ifrit. It once burned three thousand miles of rivers and mountains until the Ice Dragon of Annihilation descended and sealed it here,” Ifrit explained.

"Are you really confident that you can completely control such a terrifying demon?" Feng Ling asked again.

Upon hearing this, Itte smiled slightly: "So what if it exists? So what if it doesn't? As long as we use the Ice Dragon's own elemental power and guide it with the Dimensional Shadow Stone, it will naturally seek out the god who imprisoned it to fight it out the moment the Fire Demon breaks free of the seal."

"As long as its target is Hyotei, then for us it is already a 'success'."

It grinned and then held the object in his hand in front of the mirror.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from all around, and then a figure quietly appeared behind them.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you succeed.” Sugniel suddenly appeared.

A cold glint flashed, and the hook in his hand whistled as it aimed straight for Itt's back.

Phantom reacted swiftly, blocking the shot with a single thrust. However, the force of the blow left his hand numb.

"Who goes there?" Kuangdao quickly assumed a fighting stance.

Sugniel was thrown back by the Phantom's arm and quickly got up after landing.

“Fierce Tiger, Sugniel!” he said, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

Upon hearing this, the group's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's the paladins again! When will this end?!" Mad Blade shouted.

"Oh? So, my friend was indeed injured by you!" he said angrily.

“Friend? You mean that rampaging rhinoceros?” It turned around, shrugging his shoulders. “Yes, we tricked him and injured him, but it’s not our fault. Who told him to try and stop us from getting in?”

"Oh? Interesting. This is the first time in all these years that I've seen someone trespass on someone's territory, not only injure someone, but also act so self-righteously. Kid, you've really opened my eyes." Sugniel grinned, but his eyes held no smile, only icy killing intent.

Upon hearing this, It smiled slightly, but did not respond to Sugniel.

He turned around and continued facing the mirror, glancing briefly behind him.

"Stop him."

Kuangdao and Hongtao exchanged a glance and charged toward Sugenil at the same time.

"Just the two of you?" Sugniel sneered upon seeing this, then thrust out his claws and kicked them both away with lightning speed.

He ran towards It again, but he had already thrown the item in his hand into the mirror.
