Chapter 8

[Without hesitation, you raised your shield and knocked out the Knights of Favonius one by one on the battlefield.] 

[Only the captain of the Knights was left struggling to hold on. With one final Shield Bash, you knocked him out as well.] 

[Before he closed his eyes, he muttered, "Why…?"] 

[He couldn't understand why you, Amber's husband, would help the Hilichurls.] 

[You shouted in the Hilichurl language, urging the camp to leave quickly.] 

[Your foster mother looked at you worriedly, "Yo?"—asking if you weren't coming with them.] 

[You shook your head. After knocking out so many Knights and letting the Hilichurls escape, the Knights of Favonius would definitely hold someone accountable for this.] 

[If you left, Amber would be implicated. You had to stay and take responsibility.] 

[You shouted again, louder this time, telling all the Hilichurls to leave.] 

[Seeing your determination, they had no choice but to turn and flee.] 

[Just as they reached the long bridge outside Mondstadt, a fiery figure appeared at the other end.] 

[It was Diluc.] 

[He looked at you with cold, sharp eyes. "I never thought you'd be a traitor to Mondstadt. Did you bring the Hilichurls here to attack the city?"] 

[Surrounded by a group of unconscious Knights, you had no way to explain yourself.] 

["Let them go first. I'll stay and take responsibility for this crime."] 

[Diluc sneered, "Let them go? Are you dreaming?"] 

[Diluc swung his flaming greatsword at the Hilichurls. The nearest Mitachurl was instantly killed, its body disintegrating into the air.] 

["No!!!" You raised your shield and charged forward, blocking Diluc's second strike.] 

[You and Diluc clashed on the bridge of Mondstadt.] 

[As a mere mortal, though you possessed terrifying strength, you were no match for Diluc, who wielded a Vision.] 

[One by one, the Hilichurls beside you were killed.] 

[Watching the bodies of the Hilichurls you wanted to protect disintegrate into dust and vanish into the air, you were filled with rage. "Diluc!!!"] 

[You saw his flaming sword swing toward your foster mother. Despite your exhausted body, you rushed forward.] 

[The moment the greatsword clashed with your shield, the Vision shell at your waist began to glow with a purple light.] 

[You had activated a Vision!] 

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the item: Electro Vision. Unlocked skills: Thunder Arc, Heavenly Thunder Strike, Thunder Net.] 

Kael hadn't expected that the items he obtained in the life simulation could also be used in reality! 

With the Vision, his life in Teyvat had just gained another layer of security! 

[Only those with a strong desire can obtain a Vision.] 

[At this moment, you had only one wish in your heart.] 

[To let your family survive!!!] 

[Your shield formed a protective net of lightning, and with a shield counter, you pushed Diluc back several steps.] 

[Diluc first planted his greatsword into the ground to steady himself, then pulled it out and swung at you again!]

[An arrow tore through the air with a sharp whistle, striking Diluc's sword and knocking it out of his hand.] 

[A voice you knew all too well rang out from behind. The person you least wanted to face had appeared.] 

["Diluc, what are you doing? Stop!"]
