"Hahaha~!"
"Then I shall condescend to dance with you. Know only that for one of us this dance leads to death door!"
Signora walked up to Lumine, as if having heard some joke, and spoke with murderous intent in her eyes.
"I'll see this through to the end!"
Lumine raised her head, looking at Signora before her, and spoke through gritted teeth.
"The duel will take place here."
Said the Raiden Shogun, looking at Lumine and Signora with emotionless eyes.
"Each of you prepare yourselves. We begin shortly."
"Heh..."
Signora nodded upon hearing this, then walked to the other side.
"Mr. Qiu Bai, will this work out?"
Kujou Sara looked at the calm and composed Qiu Bai beside her, asking with furrowed brows.
"Hehe, don't worry."
"Lumine strength is quite formidable."
Qiu Bai looked at Kujou Sara beside him and said with a light laugh.
"Allow me to demonstrate the power and elegance of a Harbinger, as you wish."
Signora stepped forward gracefully, a white catalyst floating before her. Instantly, ice elements formed a shield around her.
Looking at Lumine, she spoke calmly.
"I will not lose!"
Lumine hand summoned a dull blade, with multiple elemental powers and the forces of yin and yang surging within it.
She looked at Signora before her and shouted with furrowed brows.
"Go, Traveler!"
Paimon quickly flew behind Qiu Bai and cheered.
"Hmph!"
Signora looked at Lumine before her and snorted coldly.
Then with a wave of her hand, a massive ice spear crashed toward Lumine!
Seeing this, Lumine dodged to the side, then charged toward Signora with extreme speed!
"This speed..."
Signora, watching Lumine charging toward her, frowned slightly.
She then reinforced her ice elemental barrier.
Clang!
Crack, crack...
The sound of ice breaking rang out as Lumine dull blade pierced firmly into Signora protective shield!
"Hyah~!"
With a forceful push, Lumine instantly broke through Signora barrier!
Signora was stunned by this sight.
"How is this possible?"
"After Mondstadt, her strength has increased this much!"
Signora, seeing the dull blade thrust toward her, swept her hand, and the white catalyst moved in front of her, then unleashed a terrifying ice elemental shockwave.
Lumine, seeing this shockwave, frowned slightly, then pressed her hand to the floor.
A huge geo elemental crystal wall rose up, blocking the shockwave!
"These two both have strength beyond mine."
Said Kujou Sara, watching the battle from outside, somewhat surprised.
"I've underestimated you!"
Signora looked at Lumine behind the geo wall and said with furrowed brows.
But before she could finish speaking, Lumine instantly appeared on her left side.
Her hands combined the forces of yin and yang, and in an instant, a powerful energy exploded, blasting Signora away!
In mid-air, Signora mouth dripped blood as she gritted her teeth and used ice elements to form a shield around herself.
But that wasn't the end.
Lumine, holding the dull blade, leaped toward Signora in the air.
Geo element, anemo element, electro element, and yin-yang power all surged wildly through the sword as she smashed it toward Signora!
BOOM!!!
A tremendous sound rang out, and as the surrounding smoke cleared, Lumine attack seemed to have hit something incredibly hard.
"This is..."
Lumine looked at the massive ice cocoon before her and said cautiously.
"The Harbinger authority has become cumbersome. I shall let my true destiny manifest once more."
"Before the metamorphosis, anticipate and tremble!"
From within the ice cocoon came Signora frenzied voice.
Lumine looked at the ice cocoon before her with furrowed brows, and the surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly.
It was as cold as an ice cave.
At that moment, many ice blocks fell from the ceiling.
Lumine frowned and continuously dodged, constantly moving her body to prevent herself from becoming too cold to move.
"What's this?"
Suddenly, Lumine seemed to notice something.
Many fiery moths flew out from the ice cocoon, fluttering before her like crystalline butterflies.
She then moved toward the crimson moths, grabbing one and slapping it against the huge ice cocoon!
Instantly, the ice cocoon shattered, releasing intense pyro energy.
Bang!
A tremendous sound rang out, and the shockwave swept toward Lumine, pushing her back two steps.
The crimson moths around gradually increased, and Signora rose, bending forward.
"Hmm~"
"Hehe, hahaha, AHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Signora seemed to have transformed completely, with two pairs of enormous black and red wings behind her.
Her face was covered with a huge mask resembling a moth eyes, and beneath her dress was what looked like burning black flames!
Suddenly, the environment changed from extreme cold to a sea of fire.
Signora held out both hands, turning her gaze toward Lumine.
She appeared like a blazing Crimson Witch of Flames.
"Pale flame has melted the solid ice. Witness my suffering."
"I will consume your soul in the process of sin and punishment!"
Signora looked at Lumine, and instantly a fire whip appeared in her hand, lashing fiercely toward Lumine.
"She's become stronger."
Lumine gritted her teeth, dodging the whip.
Wherever the whip passed, it left behind heat waves like magma!
She then swung her sword fiercely, striking Signora!
Signora seemed to feel no pain, merely knocking Lumine back.
"Burning... a nostalgic pain... do you feel it too?"
Signora, looking at her current form and the surrounding sea of fire, seemed to be speaking not to Lumine, but to someone nonexistent, asking sadly.
Lumine looked at Signora in this state, somewhat confused.
But just as she tried to observe more, the fire whip attacked her again!
Lumine gradually wore down Signora strength.
"Huff... your power..."
"But, why..."
Signora knelt on the ground, clutching her chest, looking at Lumine who held the dull blade, struggling to speak.
After saying these words, Signora seemed to have used up all her strength and lowered her head.
"Hmm?"
Qiu Bai watched as the Raiden Shogun, holding the Musou no Hitotachi, walked step by step toward the kneeling Lady.
With a cold, expressionless face, she walked toward Signora not far away.
The Raiden Shogun wheel of wishes and eyes lit up behind her, her eyes flashing with lightning, and the Musou no Hitotachi also flashed with lightning.
The electro markings on her shoulders and waist all lit up.
Like a merciless enforcer, she walked toward Signora with an expressionless face.
Her steps were neither too fast nor too slow.
"I am an envoy of Snezhnaya. You know the consequences of raising your hand against me..."
"I swear, if you truly swing your blade at me, I will make your country..."
Signora struggled to stand up, looking at the approaching Raiden Shogun, and warned through gritted teeth.
"The Fatui will make your precious Inazuma..."
"Stop! I command you!!!"
Signora stepped back, looking at the Raiden Shogun before her, screaming hysterically.
"You! And all of you!"
"I! How could I..."
The desperate Signora fell into madness, looking at the Raiden Shogun before her, and actually charged toward her!
In just an instant, the Raiden Shogun passed through Signora like a flash of lightning.
Behind her, Signora seemed to have been slashed dozens of times, then the Musou no Hitotachi swung downward, and massive electro power surged up from beneath Signora's feet!
Signora, leaving not even ashes behind, died under the Raiden Shogun blade.
