"Tahahaha...Interesting...Most Interesting...."
[Location: The Jade Chamber]
Childe, Harbinger of Chaos, stood before Lumine the Traveller and her Friends and he was having a Sly Smirk on his face.
Lumine: "You...."
Barbara: "You have been helping us a lot, was that your gain this whole time?"
Arlecchino, (Lumine’s 3rd Party Member), crossed her arms and squinted her gaze.
Childe: "Ta Ha Ha...Naive as always Priestess...No, this wasn’t My goal, it was...."
He pointed his Sword towards Lumine, “Her” went out of his mouth with a sinister sense.
Lumine: “Tsk.”
Childe: “Do you know how The Archon Wars work? What happens when 2 Unstoppable Forces collide? It is Nothing like Boxing....”
“Boxing?” Lumine, Barbara, and Paimon (yes she is here too) asked while Arlecchino clenched her teeth.
Childe: “There is no Round 1, There is no Round 2...It is all the Fight between the 2....”
Lumine squinted her gaze in that moment.
“To me,” Childe said while playing with 1 of his swords, “Something like a Bell’s Ring or a Refree Call don’t mean anything.....Schemes from under the table...False alliances...Tricks and Stirs...Infights and Discord...Tactical Strategies....”
He Abruptly stopped and focused on The Traveller.
“They don’t mean Shit....” He made that clear.
Childe: “To me, Having a 2nd Chance or getting a K.O. isn’t how Battles are determined, there are no Winners or Losers in the Archon Wars.....Just Survivals....”
Lumine took her battle stance preparing to fight.
Childe: “Those who cannot Tough it up to the end...Are the real losers....”
He took his Battle Stance and moved on: “This is why...I hate people like you...Cowards who run away to fight another day...."
Barbara: “But that’s-”
*Wowhh*
Arlecchino placed her hand before The Priestess which forced her to stop.
Childe: “The Thrill of Battle...Is one not many can experience...When blades clash-”
*CLANK!*
He hit his Swords together, letting out a Roaring noise.
“That’s when Warriors feel Alive!” Childe smiled fiercely, “So Whip Up your Sword! Let me see how Strong you are!”
*BLAST!!*
His Stance let out a Strong shockwave which pushed Paimon and Barbara to the walls! But Lumine and Arlecchino stood unfazed.
“If that’s what you want...” Lumine stated, “My Sword May be Dull! But it is Sturdy and Strong! You’ll not last long against it!” She yelled out loud.
Childe, with a smile behind his Blade, cried: “In that case...DIE LUMINE!!!!”
*SLAM!!!*
Childe Struck Lumine’s Blade as they entered a state of Slow Motion.
》Eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers, ☆Tartaglia!☆《
The Moment after the Impact, Lumine pushed her Sword up and kicked Childe’s chest forcing him to step back.
Camera pan out behind Lumine as we enter the Player Mode.
