Chapter 367: Arundolyn, the Lion of Light

Rostam, in his entire life, had never wronged anyone.

For Mondstadt, he was willing to become the shadow of the Lion of Light, doing many things that a knight should never do, even going against the code of chivalry.

He was even ready to dedicate his life to this nation.

But when it came to Rosalyne, he owed her far too much.

He had once wondered whether that pure and innocent girl would grieve over his death, but he never expected that, in order to avenge him, Rosalyne would burn herself and become the Crimson Witch of Flames.

"Time is running out. Make your decision quickly."

There were only ten minutes for rest. After those ten minutes, whether the two of them would ever meet again was unknown.

"Can you take this thing out of here?"

Rostam raised his head and asked Bai Luo.

"I should be able to."

During the trial in Inazuma, the Tengu girl had once given Bai Luo a Tengu feather.

After leaving the trial, he was still able to take that feather with him.

In other words, there was a chance that items from within instances could be brought outside.

Under Bai Luo’s curious gaze, Rostam took out a flower that he had clutched tightly even in death—an iris.

In the past, he never had the chance to give this flower to the one he loved.

Now, this mysterious junior before him had brought him a new hope.

A thousand words, along with endless longing, were all contained within this single iris.

"Tell her... what allows a knight to ease his brow is not endless flames, but the clear, crisp singing of a young girl."

As the wind blew, the knight known as the "Wolf Pup" turned into a wisp of wind and disappeared from this space.

Only the iris remained, lying there alone.

"Defender’s Will... even if this artifact set boosts defense, it’s still only a three-star set. Next time, you should bring a five-star set."

After picking up the iris, Bai Luo couldn’t help but complain.

He had already recognized that the flower Rostam asked him to deliver to Rosalyne was the Flower of Life from the in-game three-star artifact set Defender’s Will.

[Rest period over. Do you wish to begin the second phase of the trial?]

Only after Bai Luo picked up the iris did the system prompt finally appear.

"Before starting, can I ask where the reward for defeating Rostam went?"

Instead of immediately proceeding, Bai Luo asked the system this question.

But after he spoke, the system fell silent once again. As if it hadn’t heard him at all.

"Fine, you win. But if the reward you give me at the end isn’t satisfying, I’m going to flip out."

Seeing the system remain unresponsive, Bai Luo had no choice but to continue.

But if the system really dared to cheat him...

Then he would just keep the skill cards it had temporarily stored with him.

[Dungeon activated. Your second opponent is "Lion of Light" Arundolyn. There is no time limit for this battle.]

[Note: This battle will be fought using the Black-Clad Swordsman class. Please prepare accordingly.]

Arundolyn, the Lion of Light?

When Bai Luo learned that he would be fighting knights bearing the titles of wolves or lions, he had already expected to encounter this man.

But he didn’t expect the second opponent to be such a famous figure.

Who was Arundolyn?

He was the Grand Master of Mondstadt during the time of the Khaenri’ah Cataclysm.

Compared to Bai Luo’s previous opponent, "Wolf Pup" Rostam, his talent was even greater.

What made him truly remarkable was that he did not rely on a Vision to become strong. Instead, he rose step by step purely through his own talent and potential.

Like Rostam, he also founded a form of Favonius swordsmanship.

However, compared to his close friend’s style, the sword art he created was far too difficult, and thus failed to be passed down.

Back in those days, the Lion of Light and the Wolf Pup were a duo that struck fear into countless enemies.

In a daze, the wind swirling around seemed to carry a faint killing intent.

As the wind shifted, a figure gradually appeared before Bai Luo.

Clang!

The moment the figure emerged, he drove the sword in his hand straight into the ground before him.

"A one-handed greatsword..."

The weapon in Arundolyn’s hand was clearly larger than an ordinary greatsword. When it struck the ground, Bai Luo even felt the earth tremble slightly.

And yet, such a massive weapon was being held in just one hand.

He had only ever seen something like this before in modded model videos.

The sword in Arundolyn’s hand was called the Ferrous Shadow. Although replicas of it were now popular in Mondstadt, after years of imitation, even those versions were merely copies.

And the true origin of this blade was the one embedded in the trial ground—the Wolf’s Gravestone.

"Young man, care to test the power of this blade?"

Compared to Wolf Pup Rostam, the Lion of Light was much older.

But considering Rostam had died relatively young, that made sense.

However, the Lion of Light standing here now was clearly not the version of him at the end of his life, but the mighty lion at the peak of his strength.

Unlike Rostam, Arundolyn merely standing there gave Bai Luo a sense of overwhelming pressure.

The knightly armor on his body was no different from that of ordinary Knights of Favonius, yet when worn by him, it appeared far more imposing.

The aura of a superior, of someone at the top, was displayed to the fullest.

"Young man, state your name."

Resting both hands on the hilt of the greatsword planted in the ground, Arundolyn’s deep voice echoed in Bai Luo’s ears.

"Twelfth Harbinger of the Fatui, Anatoly."

"Impressive. My name is Arundolyn, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. In the battle that follows, I will not hold back."

Bai Luo had made quite a good first impression on Arundolyn.

To be so young and yet remain so composed in his presence—even within the Knights, such individuals were rare.

If he had met him earlier, perhaps he could have nurtured a new "wolf" for Mondstadt.

As for why a wolf, and not a lion—

Perhaps... because this young man reminded him of his old companion.

With a kick to the blade of the Ferrous Shadow greatsword, Arundolyn lifted it with one hand and rested it upon his shoulder.

"Receive the fangs of this lion!"

His muscles tensed suddenly, and the ground beneath his feet let out a sound like an explosion under the force of his strength.

Holding the greatsword in one hand, he swung it down toward Bai Luo.

As for Bai Luo—

Watching the rapidly enlarging figure before him, he couldn’t help but swallow.

What the hell... is that even a sword?

"Fangs"? More like front teeth!

Did he rip this thing off someone’s front door or what?!
