Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 549 Snow Phoenix Nirvana

To mend the breach, you ultimately sacrificed yourself, building the city with your own body...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer.

"Ah... So that's how it is. Is this my destiny, my predetermined ending? Then let me write the most magnificent prelude to this ending!"

In an instant, the elemental power surrounding Phoenix surged again, the icy blue elemental power like burning cold flames, enveloping her entire body.

Her wings spread out, blotting out the sky, and a biting wind swept across the heavens, instantly piercing and freezing the demons that rushed towards her.

At this moment, she no longer tried to dodge or block, but poured all her strength and will into this final and most brilliant strike.

With my body, I will build city walls! With my blood, I will reshape all things!

Consumed by lust, he was reborn from the ashes.

A massive surge of ice elemental power erupted from her center, and wherever it passed, time seemed to stand still, shattered by the biting cold wind.

The intense light covered half the sky, and no one dared to open their eyes under its glare.

When the light completely faded, Phoenix, the surging monsters, and the shattered spacetime all disappeared, leaving only a deep neon trail on the horizon.

Ice shards, like feathers, drifted down with the wind, healing the wounds of this land.

"Farewell, Peruvier, future Crimson Moon Knight. It was a pleasure to fight alongside you in my final moments. Don't grieve for my departure. As you said, this is destiny. Though my body is gone, my soul will forever reside in this world. Though it's just a small hope, perhaps someday we will meet again. So until then, you and Clévy, please take good care of yourselves."

The battlefield was deathly silent.

Arecino stood there, her longsword hanging limply in her hand. She looked up and silently took a feather, but it quickly vanished from her palm, as illusory as a reflection in a mirror, leaving only a fleeting chill.

Tears silently slid down her cheeks, scalding hot, yet instantly freezing in the frigid winds of the icy plain. She made no sound, only clenching her empty hands tightly.

ended.

Phoenix built a city with his own body, mending the cold winter.

She witnessed her teacher's final moments, completing that farewell spanning two centuries. There were no attempts to hold him back, no cries of despair, only silent witnessing, forever etching that resolute yet radiant figure into the depths of her soul.

The surviving soldiers gazed at the desolate sky, their faces filled with grief and bewilderment. They had lost their lord, their protector.

Just then, a Sangyang warrior crawled out of the snow, patted the snow crystals off his body, and sneered.

"I never expected that woman would be willing to sacrifice herself to repair the dimensional rift. But it doesn't matter. Although there are no dimensional monsters to assist her, that woman has already fallen. Next, it will be time for our Sangyang army to flatten this place!"

He raised the signal gun in his hand, and a scarlet signal flare shot into the sky with a sharp whistle, exploding into a dazzling flower against the pale sky.

In the distance, the Sangyang army, a dark mass like a flood bursting its banks, surged toward the Hantian defense line, which had lost its strongest protector.

Arecino slowly raised her head, her tears already frozen on her cheeks by the extreme cold, only her slanted cross-shaped pupils burning with a flame colder than ten thousand years of ice.

"Falling from here, rising from here!"

A crimson light spread from beneath her feet, instantly staining the pristine white snowfield crimson. A sinister, blood-red phantom slowly rose behind her, shrouding the entire battlefield in an ominous, dark red glow.

The soldiers from Sangyang who were at the forefront paused in their steps, and then showed expressions of fear.

"My name is Peruvieri Schneitzfna, the personal disciple of 'Snow Phoenix' Phoenix, and the future Crimson Moon Knight!"

Arecino's voice, as if from the deepest abyss, carried a chilling killing intent and a resolute declaration, echoing across the battlefield under the blood moonlight.

"My warriors, heed my command! Defend the glacier and slaughter every last Sangyang wretch who dares to trespass upon the cold! Let the blood of our enemies be a sacrifice to the heroic soul of Xuefeng!"

kill--!

A deafening roar erupted from the throats of the surviving glacier soldiers, their grief and indignation transforming into overwhelming fighting spirit. Gripping their weapons tightly, their eyes burning with the flames of revenge, they launched a counter-charge against the surging Sangyang army like a flood bursting its banks.

Arecino, no, at this moment she is Peruvieri Schneitzfna, the future Crimson Moon Knight, leading the charge like a streak of crimson lightning, fiercely charging into the enemy ranks!

The crimson light of her longsword surged wildly. Each swing unleashed a storm of blood and gore. Enveloped in the blood moonlight, she amplified her speed, power, and killing intent to their limits. Sangyang soldiers fell before her like stalks of wheat, utterly unable to hinder her in the slightest.

She is no longer merely a restrained observer from the future. She is Phoenix's disciple, the paladin of the glacier, and the guardian of this land in this moment! She will make all invaders pay for their teacher's sacrifice with their blood.

The battle instantly entered its most brutal phase. Swords clashed, elemental explosions roared, and blood stained the snow a blinding crimson. Peruvier charged through the enemy ranks, unstoppable, single-handedly halting the most ferocious offensive of the Sangyang army. In an instant, the battle completely collapsed.

“Peruvéri…that name sounds so familiar.”

"I remember now, isn't she the challenger who participated in the trial? But her demeanor..."

"It seems the rumors are true; she comes from the future!"

"Stop discussing this! Repel the enemy first!" an officer shouted, silencing the soldiers' chatter.

But Peruvieri's godlike combat prowess, and the identity she announced, had already stirred up a huge wave among the glacier defenders. They looked at the blood-red figure rampaging through the enemy ranks with eyes filled with awe and disbelief.

The future paladin... Lord Xuefeng's personal disciple...

These identities acted like a shot in the arm, boosting morale that had been dampened by Phoenix's sacrifice, and even making it more fervent!

"For Lady Xuefeng!"

"For the glaciers!"

"All Sangyang people, kill them without mercy!"

The defenders launched an even fiercer counterattack, charging fearlessly towards the enemy. Peruvieri's presence seemed to become their pillar of strength, giving them the belief that even without Phoenix, the glacier would still be protected.

Peruvieri was covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was from the enemy or her own blood.

Sadness, anger, determination... all sorts of emotions surged within her, ultimately transforming into a chilling killing intent, which she unleashed upon the enemy before her.

This battle is not only to protect the glacier, but also to... comfort the spirit of our teacher in heaven!

She will wipe out all these invaders without leaving a trace on this snowfield stained with the teacher's blood!
