Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 72: Ch : Wriothesley’s Smile

Su Yuan felt that, in the end, he was simply too weak...

As a weakling, he should have the awareness of one—he should be far more cautious in everything he did.

In all that free time over the past few days, why had he wasted it wandering around Fontaine, indulging in food and leisure, instead of training his body?

Why hadn't he sought out Wriothesley to learn boxing?

Why hadn't he asked Chevreuse to teach him how to handle a gunlance?

He had become too reliant on his rewind ability.

At first, when he thought he had infinite rewind, he figured it didn't matter if he was weak early on—just like "Subaru"—since he had endless chances to correct his mistakes.

Besides, his rewind didn't retain memories, only leaving behind the engraved hints on his palm...

But later, when he realized that the number of rewind per day was limited, he had felt some pressure.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Still, there were rarely situations where he actually ran out of rewind.

Yet today's unexpected events had filled him with an inexplicable fear...

Dying once now consumed three rewind charges.

His engraved hints could even be erased due to some unknown factor...

If that mysterious existence could erase all his hints or drain all his rewinds at once—

Then what difference would there be between him and someone with only one life?

Su Yuan lifted his gaze, turning toward the battle between "Clorinde" and "Kirara"...

Kirara might be a nekomata—a yokai—but despite her eerie transformation giving her enhanced speed and attack power, she still wasn't a skilled fighter.

She was too young, nowhere near the level of ancient yokai that had lived for centuries.

Meanwhile, Clorinde—one of the strongest warriors among humans—should have been overwhelming Kirara even in her eerie-transformed state.

And yet...

They seemed evenly matched.

Could it be that Kirara's eerie transformation was fueled by intense negative emotions—caused by the betrayal and isolation from those she trusted—making her even stronger than expected?

"Su Yuan, do you need us to step in?" Neuvillette looked at him.

Su Yuan shook his head. "No rush, let's watch for now..."

"Traveler, what exactly is going on?" Tartaglia and Paimon turned to Aether, their faces filled with confusion.

Aether then explained the eerie phenomena to them.

As time passed, "Kirara" gradually began to fall behind.

Her body was covered in cuts and wounds from the battle.

Glaring fiercely at "Clorinde," she roared:

"We are the same kind! Why must you fight me???"

"Why don't we work together and wipe out those foolish humans instead?"

"Same kind? Humans? None of that matters."

"Clorinde" spoke coldly.

"All I know is that you are my duel opponent, and that is enough."

"A duel must have a winner. Either you kill me, or I kill you—there is no stopping otherwise."

"You forced me into this..."

"Kirara" growled viciously as her body began to twist and expand rapidly, transforming into a massive cat box form!

Then, "Kirara" opened her giant, bloodstained maw—and swallowed Clorinde whole!

Everyone was shocked at the sight.

With Clorinde's speed, she should have been able to dodge effortlessly...

However, in the very next moment, brilliantly sharp sword auras and eerie-infused blade flashes erupted from within "Kirara's" massive cat box body—ripping through her abdomen and torso!

"Kirara" immediately showed an expression of immense shock and pain, and in the next moment, her entire body shattered and exploded!

Clorinde, covered in blood, stood in the middle of the battlefield.

She slowly spoke, "How foolish... swallowing a living creature that poses a threat is nothing but asking for your own death."

"This duel... I won."

Clorinde closed her eyes, slowly sheathed her sword, and the eerie aura around her disappeared as well...

Then, Clorinde opened her eyes and looked down at the blood on her hands and body.

She glanced at the scattered pieces of Kirara's remains nearby, her brows furrowed slightly, her teeth clenched tightly, showing a look of regret and sorrow.

Although she wasn't sure exactly what had happened, she knew that all of this was done by her own hand.

"Farewell, Kirara..."

Su Yuan, watching this scene, also felt a heavy weight in his heart...

Next time, I'll definitely save Chiori and Kirara!

But now, one thing was certain: Clorinde's condition for overcoming her eerie transformation was indeed to kill her duel opponent...

This condition was actually quite practical, especially against monsters controlled by the eerie power in the future.

In those cases, there would be no need for any mercy, and Clorinde could fully exert her strength...

With the matter here temporarily settled, Su Yuan shifted his gaze to Chiori's body and Tartaglia.

Now, these two were the uncertain factors.

No, Paimon should count as one too...

As for Aether, I'm not sure if it counts...

There's still no clear clue about the conditions for their eerie transformations...

Navia's condition for eerie transformation is related to Mules and Silver, but those two have now reverted to Oceanid, so Navia should no longer be susceptible to eerie transformation because of them.

Similarly, Chevreuse would no longer easily fall into eerie transformation.

As for Wriothesley and Sigewinne, their conditions for eerie transformation are relatively clear.

Wriothesley may seem a bit erratic, but he is still someone reliable and trustworthy.

If he says he won't drink tea, even if he wants to, he definitely won't drink it.

Perhaps noticing Su Yuan's gaze, Tartaglia spoke up: "If I had a condition for eerie transformation, it would probably be related to my family."

"If Tonia, Anthon, and Teucer were hurt, I don't think I could handle it..."

"Of course, it could also be something related to battle..."

"For me... it's probably about not being able to eat delicious food?" Paimon mused.

"No, no, it should be related to the Traveler! If he were to leave me unexpectedly, I definitely wouldn't be able to handle that..."

"For me, it's definitely related to my sister..." Aether also spoke up.

As the group continued discussing, footsteps were heard from outside the hospital room, and the door opened...

It was Wriothesley.

"I told you, we've already evacuated the crowd from the hospital, so how could anyone still be here? Oh, it's Duke Wriothesley." Chevreuse spoke up.

"Haha..." Wriothesley laughed and said, "Hello, everyone~"

Su Yuan felt that something was off.

Was this really how Wriothesley spoke?

Then, Wriothesley approached Neuvillette, who furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "Wriothesley, why are you the only one here? Where's Sigewinne?"

"Neuvillette, you'll see Sigewinne very soon..." Wriothesley smiled faintly and said slowly.

"Neuvillette! Danger!!!"

Su Yuan shouted, but it was still too late...
