Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 600 Bitter Battle

Roar!

The giant claw slammed down, leaving a deep mark on the snowfield.

Funinna's icy wings flapped sharply, barely grazing the claws, but the icy air current grazed her right wing. The sound of ice crystals shattering was clearly audible, and her body swayed in the air, nearly losing her balance and falling.

“Miss Funina!” Peruvieri said anxiously.

She tried to get up, but collapsed again due to the strain on her body.

It smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon. Reginoya, take care of that girl first!"

The ice crystal behemoth moved in response. Its empty pupils locked onto Funina, who was staggering and adjusting her posture in mid-air.

The second blow followed immediately.

It opened its enormous maw, and a vortex of eerie blue energy condensed in its throat. The next instant, an extremely cold breath, capable of freezing everything, poured out like a waterfall.

Funina gritted her teeth, and her ice wings suddenly retracted, enveloping her in layers of rapidly solidifying ice crystal barriers.

boom--!

The frigid breath collided with the barrier, and a piercing cracking sound tore through the sky.

The barrier crumbled layer by layer in the face of absolute cold, and Funina's figure swayed precariously in the icy mist.

But she did not fall.

The moment the barrier shattered, she suddenly spread her tattered ice wings, tearing a crack from the edge of her breath attack, and rolled away from the attack range.

When she landed, she knelt on one knee on the snow, panting heavily; her ice wings were nearly half torn apart.

"Cough, cough..." She coughed out a few breaths of icy mist, but stubbornly raised her head and looked at the giant beast that was slowly turning its direction.

“Miss Furna!” Peruvieri’s worried voice came again.

But she reached out and shouted, "Don't worry! I'm fine!"

"Are you alright? Don't be reckless. Even though Reginoa is a failed experiment, the power of that attack just now was enough to give you a hard time."

"How about it? Want to try again?" Itt grinned and mocked.

In contrast, Funina snorted coldly, stood up from the ground, brandished her sword with her left hand, and straightened her back: "Don't underestimate me, this thing can cut me in half with three shots and two kicks!"

Upon hearing this, Itte laughed even harder: "Hahaha, still trying to show off at a time like this? Fine, I'll see what else you've got up your sleeve. Reginoya, have some fun with this overconfident big star!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Reginoia raised its giant claws once more.

Funinna gritted her teeth, her tattered ice wings barely unfurling behind her.

She leaped into the air, dodging the attack while using some elemental power to repair her wings.

However, the behemoth seemed to sense her movement. The instant she took to the air, Reginoa abruptly turned its head, and the eerie light in its throat gathered once more.

The second breath was even more powerful and faster than the first.

Funina's pupils contracted sharply, her wings flapped rapidly, and she spun around in mid-air. Moments later, the extremely cold dragon breath almost grazed her back.

But it wasn't over yet. She tried to steady herself in mid-air, but the giant tail swept down.

boom--!

This time, she didn't completely dodge.

"Cough!"

She fell heavily to the ground, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth for the first time.

"Damn it, why is this dragon so hard to defeat? I should have known better than to try and show off."

But there was no point in saying anything now. After a brief moment of rest, she flew into the sky again. But Reginoa's giant claws came crashing down once more.

In a series of sharp turns, Funina kept changing direction, but no matter how she dodged, the giant beast's attack range was too wide.

The third time. The fourth time.

After countless repairs, her ice wings had become so thin as to be almost transparent, with dense cracks along the edges, as if they could shatter at any moment.

At that moment, the giant claw struck again, but she had almost lost the ability to react.

"Oh no!"

She closed her eyes tightly and instinctively put her hands in front of her head to protect them, but after a moment, the pain she remembered did not come as expected.

At this moment, she slowly opened her eyes, but her grip was frozen in mid-air by the blood spikes that suddenly rose up.

Turning around abruptly, she saw Peruvier struggling to extend her right hand, using her meager elemental power to desperately hold onto the giant claw that was powerful enough to crush her.

"What are you all standing there for!" Peruvieri shouted.

Funina suddenly snapped back to reality.

Without hesitation, her tattered ice wings suddenly tightened, and she shot out like an arrow, dodging the giant claws.

The next second, the blood spikes shattered.

The giant claw crashed to the ground, sending up a cloud of snow and mist.

"Thank you!" Funina exclaimed.

“Ha, no need for thanks. I will do my best to slow it down, and whether I can kill it or not is up to you!” Peruvieri shouted.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Funina nodded.

She knew that Peruvier was now at her limit. But to completely subdue the behemoth before her, the only way was for the two of them to work together, so she could only rely on trusting her.

"I never imagined that entrusting my life to someone for the second time would result in such terrifying mushroom-shaped eyes, but there's nothing I can do about it!"

She took a deep breath, shaking off the inappropriate thoughts that had been running through her mind.

The ice wings solidified behind him again, and the sword's edge gleamed coldly once more.

Peruvieri bit her fingertip and used her blood as a medium to draw a talisman in the air. The next moment, dozens of thin blood lines shot out from the snow, like a spider web cutting into the gaps in the ice armor, tightly binding the body of the giant creature.

The behemoth roared in fury, its massive claws lashing out as it tried to break free from these vexing restraints. But Peruvieri's will was stronger than ice; for every strand of bloodline that broke, ten more would spring back to fill the gap.

"quick!"

"Understood!" She stood her sword upright, concentrating her elemental power at the blade. "Then let's settle this with this strike!"

She drew a sharp arc in mid-air, her icy wings folding like arrows, and she transformed into a shooting star, slashing fiercely towards the giant's throat.

"Cold Edge, Silent and Dustless!"

The icy blue sword light cleaved through the wind and snow, slashing diagonally downwards.

The moment the sword touched the ice armor, a piercing cracking sound was like a city wall collapsing.

Funina gritted her teeth and poured all her strength into this one sword strike.

Cracks began to spread from the tip of the sword, crawling across the giant beast's neck like a spider web.

"Smash it!"

She screamed, and the ice sword suddenly shattered into countless crystal fragments. Reginoa's neck snapped in two, severed by the blade, and a dense, dark blue elemental gushed out like blood.

The behemoth let out a final, mournful cry, and its massive body crashed forward.

The impact sent Funinna flying backward, tumbling several times on the ground. Her ice wings shattered completely into countless points of light, dissipating into the snowstorm.

She lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"It...it was a success?"

She turned her head and looked at the fallen remains. When the swirling snow settled, the giant beast was lifeless.

However, just as she was filled with joy, an ominous elemental fluctuation once again emanated from the fallen behemoth.

The remains slowly rose, and together with the split head, they simultaneously grew into a complete form.

"It...it was born again?" Funina exclaimed in horror.

“No, it should be a split!” Peruvieri said through gritted teeth.
