Tail of the Crucible of the Primeval Current — one of the ancient Golden Tree's Prayers. It can form a long tail that sweeps forward, and its power can be enhanced by charging it.
This is the Golden Tree's primordial life force,
one of the Crucible's Primeval Currents. In the past, life was intermingled, indistinguishable.
The Power of the Crucible of the Primeval Current, which was originally contained in all life in The Lands Between, was now displayed by someone from another world.
In fact, the Golden Tree was also curious as to why guiding the Power of the Crucible of the Primeval Current into a Teyvatian's body was so smooth.
Perhaps the material that made them up, like the power of the Crucible of Life, was also something that could differentiate all things?
The Golden Tree thought for a while, then decided not to think about it anymore; after all, it was just a tree and had no brain.
Now, it just wanted to eat meat! And it wanted grilled meat!!!
"Okubo, you..."
Morimasa Kenji saw the scene of overwhelming destruction before him, surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected his partner to have such a trick up his sleeve; it was truly unexpected.
But before he could finish his sentence, a sharp pain shot up from his feet.
Then, Morimasa Kenji horrifyingly discovered that his body was no longer under his control.
He watched as his body moved stiffly a few times, and with each movement, Morimasa Kenji's controlled body became more and more flexible.
By the end, it was no different from Morimasa Kenji controlling himself.
Climbing to the ground, "Morimasa Kenji" advanced without a word. If one had excellent eyesight, they could even see tiny branches extending from his heel, reaching straight into the ground.
"Mon... Monster!"
"Wha... What kind of Vision is this?!"
"What monster?! What Vision?! Who dares to retreat?! I'll kill them first!"
...Seeing "Okubo" gradually retract the dragon tail behind him, several members of the resistance were all utterly terrified.
To so casually erase their elemental attacks, in their understanding, only true Vision wielders could do so; there was no other possibility.
Affected by this, several members of the resistance trembled a few times. If it weren't for the squad leader's final roar, it's likely they would have fled on the spot.
Seeing "Morimasa Kenji" slowly approaching, the squad leader immediately steeled his heart. There was nothing more morale-boosting now than killing an enemy.
Enduring the nauseating dizziness, the squad leader forced himself to rally his spirits and once again activated the Delusion at his waist.
"Die... for me!!!"
The abundant Pyro element energy in the area converged on the resistance squad leader's blade, instantly transforming it into a giant blazing blade Burning with surging flames.
"Morimasa Kenji" stopped. He took a deep breath; whether it was normal air or the black smoke drifting everywhere, all of it was inhaled into his nose.
But what swelled was not "Morimasa Kenji's" chest, but his chin.
The skin on "Morimasa Kenji's" chin rapidly changed and expanded, roughly resembling a toad, but upon closer inspection, there were significant differences.
The skin of the huge gular sac was not as smooth as a toad's skin; instead, it was incredibly rough, covered with fine reddish-brown scales.
"Boom!"
A fan-shaped sea of fire erupted from "Morimasa Kenji's" mouth, instantly leaving slow-flowing trails of lava on the ground wherever it passed.
Gular Sac of the Crucible of the Primeval Current — one of the ancient Golden Tree's Prayers. It can form a huge gular sac, spewing fire breath while moving.
By charging it, the duration of the breath can be extended.
This is the Golden Tree's primordial life force,
one of the Crucible's Primeval Currents. In the past, life was intermingled, indistinguishable.
The resistance in front of him was completely engulfed by the sea of fire, and even the resistance squad leader's massive fiery blade was nothing more than a tiny flicker in these fierce flames.
The flames dissipated, and there was no longer any living thing in Morimasa Kenji's sight.
"Ha... Haha!"
The restraints on their bodies instantly vanished, and Morimasa Kenji and Okubo immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"O... Okubo..."
"I... I don't know either."
The conversation ended before it even began. Morimasa Kenji could only suppress the doubts in his heart. He struggled to his feet from the ground, looking with bewildered uncertainty at the empty, scorched earth.
Could the flames just now burn people until there wasn't even ash left?
Morimasa Kenji didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
"Let's go, let's check the village!"
Morimasa Kenji pulled Okubo up from the ground, and supporting each other, they walked into Higi Village, which was engulfed in a raging fire... "Pfft—"
Drawing the sword blank he had 'borrowed' from the blacksmith, the gushing blood instantly stained Washizu's Hannya mask.
"Forgot to leave someone alive," Washizu muttered belatedly, touching the sticky blood on his face.
However, he didn't hesitate. Taking the unused katana he had just pulled from the corpse, Washizu turned to look for his next target.
Reaching the outskirts of the village, the flames had already begun to spread. It wouldn't be long before they completely engulfed Higi Village.
"Haven't they dug here yet?" Washizu looked around, not seeing the villagers he had sent to dig firebreaks. He figured they hadn't reached this point yet.
"Then I'll help!"
Washizu instantly appeared at the edge of the sea of fire, sheathed his sword, inhaled, and slashed upward!
The three movements were done in one fluid motion, using the simplest jodan-no-kamae in kendo, but the commotion it caused was anything but simple.
"Buzz!"
The air let out mournful wails, separated by the blade Washizu swung with charged power. Although less than a tenth of the blade's inherent power was transmitted to the air, the resulting air blade was still enough to cut through the soil and send it flying.
"Crash!"
Countless clods of earth flew into the Sky, then quickly fell, causing a "stone rain" in this small space.
Even the flames, which were almost licking at Washizu's side, retreated three paces due to the tearing gale.
The flames continued to spread, but when they approached Washizu again, they suddenly lost their vigor.
The flames grew smaller and smaller until they completely dissipated.
Washizu's attack just now not only tore a trench in the ground but also blew away the nearby withered grass, fallen leaves, broken flowers, and snapped branches.
A large fire deprived of fuel naturally couldn't burn.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
"An Anemo Vision? This village actually has someone with a Vision?"
A figure leaped from the darkness. Nojima Kazunari looked at Washizu, who was sheathing his sword, and said with an appreciative expression.
"I thought you would continue to lie on the ground," Washizu's eyes, beneath the Hannya mask, scrutinized the man with the chaotic armor style.
Pirate? Only a fool would believe that.
"You should go; this has nothing to do with you," Nojima Kazunari pointed to the darkness outside Higi Village and said to Washizu.
"Heh heh, it seems like it's a few members of the resistance?" Washizu sneered a few times, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.
"It seems one of the conditions for obtaining a Vision is 'a rich imagination,'" Nojima Kazunari drew his own sword, smiling without warmth.
"Haha, sorry, I don't have a Vision."
"As for Higi Village, I'm the village head here. You tell me if it has anything to do with me—"
Before Washizu could finish his sentence, he transformed into an afterimage, speeding towards Nojima Kazunari.
"Clang!"
Swords clashed, and sparks flew. Just as Nojima Kazunari was about to catch his breath, he felt the sword in his hand uncontrollably flying upward.
Washizu forcefully thrust upward, and Nojima Kazunari's weapon completely left his control.
Taking advantage of Nojima Kazunari's wide-open guard, Washizu immediately delivered a merciless kick.
"Bang!"
Blood splattered on Washizu's thigh armor, and Nojima Kazunari's body tumbled into the large trench Washizu had just cut open.
"A Vision? Someone like you has one too?"
Glancing at the shaking glass bead in his hand, Washizu tossed it away and then swung his sword.
"Crack!"
The blade shattered, and the "Vision" flew off to who knows where.
"But even with a Vision, it won't save you."
Holding the broken sword, Washizu walked towards Nojima Kazunari in the trench.
