Honkai Star Rail: I am the Emanator of all Eons

My sudden appearance confused everyone. Well, I don't blame them. Even I don't know what Lan wants from me.

In the end, my explanation came to nothing so I simply settled there temporarily. Because of my new status, I was treated with a lot of respect, I didn't even have to pay for lodging.

-Nadie, do you practice any martial arts?

-Not really, I only know how to use a bow a little bit.

-Just "a little"? You're a Hunting Emanator and even your skill consists of archery, give yourself more credit.

-But I'm serious, no one ever taught me how to use a bow, I act on instinct.

-Really?

-Seriously.

We are currently having tea to spice up the chat.

-So... do you want me to teach you?

-Can you?

-Of course, I'm an expert with the bow.

-Well, I'll take you up on the offer.

From that very day, Feixiao devoted a few hours of his time to teach me how to use the bow.

Although a better stance didn't influence my aim too much, surprisingly the amount of energy I can load into an arrow increased exponentially, the shooting power increased exponentially, and the amount of stamina I consume was greatly reduced.

With this, I can finally deal with my stamina problem.

-Good shot.

-It's all thanks to you, Feixiao.

-Not at all, this is a reward for your efforts. You have an incredible talent, you should take advantage of it.

The days passed comfortably without any problems, this made Lan's message a little uncomfortable for me.

-N Nadie, the Ten Leaders Commission claim to want to meet you. As the Emanator of the Hunt, your position represents a lot to us, if it's not a problem for you?

-Meh. I'll pass. Sounds complicated.

-Haha~ I thought you'd say that. Knowing you, it's hard to see you talking seriously with them.

-Sorry Feixiao, but you'll have to turn them down for me.

-Don't worry, I already did it beforehand.

-Oi, that's a long shot.

-But I got it right, didn't I?

After passing through a few doors, we met the one Feixiao had a pending appointment with.

-Well, if it isn't Nadie. It's an honor to see you again, to think that the Emanator of the Hunt would bother to visit me~.

-Jiaoqiu, stop giving flattery that sounds like sarcasm, it makes me uncomfortable.....

-Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

Sometimes I think this guy does it on purpose, but at least I like him.

So, General Feixiao, shall we start with the medical check-up?

-Of course, I leave it in your hands.

Feixiao, despite being a Raposian, she also suffers from the Lunar Madness condition, a self-destructive power belonging to the Borisin race. In other words, this is due to a genetic flaw produced at birth from the procreation between Repossian and Borisin.

Thanks to my talent granted by the Way of Abundance, Aspect of Life allows me to detect all forms of life and see through their states of health.

It was this same talent that allowed me to detect the presence of Moze, for life cannot be hidden.

And it is this same talent that allows me to see through Feixiao's genetic flaw.

Could I cure her? Yes, but I don't know how the Ten Leaders Commission would react to the power of Abundance. I am not afraid to confront them but the consequences it would bring.

Worst case scenario, Herta and the Estelaron Hunters will protect me even if it means antagonizing the Xianzhou Alliance. The thing is, I don't want that to happen....

-How is it?

-Same as ever, General. Just don't overexert yourself.

-Thank you Jiaoqiu, I always give you so much trouble.

-Not at all, General Feixiao. This is my duty.

This process of going to see the doctor was repeated several times a week after our bow training. For some reason, Feixiao always insisted that I go with her so, as a token of appreciation for teaching me how to use the bow, this is the least I can do.

...

..

.

The days pass quickly and my talent with the bow shows through, boosting the growth of my technique to great measures.

The peaceful days at Yaoqing prove to be uneventful, making me increasingly doubt the meaning behind Lan's words.

For some reason, these days Lan is the only one who does not answer my calls. The other Aeons immediately dragging me into their mental planes even when I only mention their names by accident....

-*Sigh*. Seriously Lan, I want to go see Herta already. I'm getting complicated here just for you and you won't even answer my calls, what are you doing?

While I was contemplating the astro-skiffs, I noticed some strange driving behavior.

-Hm...? That cargo astro-skiff...? why is it veering off the road?

After having a bad feeling, just in case I made use of my other talent, belonging to the Way of the Hunt: Hunter's Eyes. With this talent I have the ability to see beyond any obstacle, be it distance or object; basically, it's clairvoyance but it's only limited in the direction where my eyes see.

-Inside there is... Borisin?!

It can't be, what is the meaning of this? The Borisin not only infiltrated Luofu but also the Yaoqing? But why? Hoolay is not here.

-No, no matter what their targets are, this illegal Borisin immigration must be reported to Feixiao immediately.

I started chasing after the astro-skife so as not to lose sight of it while I hurriedly called Feixiao by cell phone.

-Yoh. What's up Nadie?

-I have bad news and very bad news, which one do you want to hear first?

-[Ay~ I don't like either of them but I'll start with the bad one].

-Well, the bad news is that I already know why Lan asked me to contact you. There are Borisin infiltrating the Yaoqing.

-[Hm... it's certainly not pleasant news.]

-I hear you are very calm about the matter.

-[Well, worrying is no use. It's preferable to act on everything. And the very bad news?]

-The very bad news is that after this I'll be leaving.

-[What's so bad about that?]

-You'll miss me.

-[Makes sense.]

-Huff... huff...

-[Wow, I hear you sound kind of tired.]

-I'm chasing the borisin-laden astro-squid like illegal aliens.

-[Oh, good exercise. I doubt you'll last more than an hour, though, with your stamina...]

-Hey, how about coming to help instead of wasting time?

-[Don't worry, I'm already on the job].

A shadow superimposed on me for an instant and I looked up... it's Feixiao running like the wind.

-I'm getting ahead of myself.

-I leave it in your hands.

The astro-squife that was about to crash into a large building was suddenly stopped thanks to Feixiao's quick intervention.

I guess this ends my adventure in Yaoqing is what I want to say but... there's no way Lan would have contacted me for something as insignificant as this.

After investigating what else the Borisin were carrying, a strange yet recognizable red liquid was found: it is waters from the Crimson Spring, the same liquid that gave the Borisin immortality and the power known as Lunar Madness.

These guys were just one step away from infecting the Reposian citizens on a large scale...

-They almost caused a major disaster. I really appreciate it, Nadie. Without you, this would not have been resolved so easily.

-It's still too early to thank me.

-Don't tell me that...

Looking over to where I'm watching with a frown, Feixiao also furrows his brow at the sight of the hundreds of cargo astro-skiffs swerving off the road.

-It looks like this won't be an easy job.

I can't just destroy the astro-skiffs either, it would spill all the water from the Crimson Spring over the city. We have no choice but to stop them one by one unless....

-I'm sorry Nadie, I have to go. Although it would help me a lot if...

-Leave it to me. I haven't used this ability in a while and this is the perfect opportunity.

-What are you...?

Fireworks Festival. The larger the scale of the illusion, the easier it is to control. For someone like Aha who loves to attract attention, this is certainly a power derived from her personality.

Clapping her hands once conspicuously, a tree even larger than the Ambrosia Tree begins to emerge abruptly. Its branches and leaves trap the hundreds of astro-skiffs, stopping the terrorist attack in one fell swoop.

-This is...

Feixiao's eyes widen in surprise.

-Don't be too surprised, it's just an illusion, it's all fake. Instead of gaping, I'd rather you mobilize the Nimboknights. My stamina isn't infinite.

Just because it's easy to control the skill doesn't mean it consumes little energy.

-*Sigh*. You seriously need to do something about that stamina of yours.

-If only you knew how much energy it consumes to do this, I bet you'd beg me for forgiveness while crying.

-Yeah~ yeah~ Hang in there, we'll take care of the rest~

I only stopped the astroskiffs from colliding, the borisin are still inside completely intact. As a result, the nimboknights and the borisin had to fight on top of the illusory tree I created.

After 20 minutes, I was starting to reach my limit.

-Are they much further?!

-Almost there!

Feixiao shouted in response.

-Here, have this soup, Nadie. It will replenish your stamina to a certain extent.

Drinking the medicinal soup Jiaoqiu made for me, some of my stamina returned.

At this rate, all the enemies would be neutralized until...

*Boom!*

-No!

Several astroskiffs carrying explosives were blown to pieces. Some citizens still haven't finished evacuating, at this rate the Crimson Spring liquid will spill on them!

With no other choice, Feixiao flew towards the reddish rain with his fox-shaped spirit, Flying Aureus.

-General Feixiao, please wait!

Immediately noticing what Feixiao would do, Jaoqiu despaired.

A strong wind like a storm blew, the Crimson Spring water gathered in a single point and the spirit swallowed it.

Again, she's sacrificing like in the game...

Feixiao's body began to fall but at the last moment she landed on her feet. His gaze... is consumed by Lunar Madness.

-General Feixiao...

-General...

Jiaoqiu and Moza had appeared at my side at some point. But, even if the three of us join forces, there's no way we can win.

Unfortunately, there's currently no one in Xianzhou's Yaoqing who can defeat her, and I'm no exception either.

In order to avoid as many casualties as possible, I need to use Life Drop to correct the genetic flaw in Feixiao; but that would mean revealing myself as the Emanator of Abundance.

-...

What do I do?

-Aaaahhhhhhh!

Feixiao roared madly and then the Flying Aureus accompanied her.

-Tsk. Cover me Jiaoqiu, I'll hold her back!

-Moze, wait! A head-on fight is suicidal! Let me do it...!

-Both of you, step back.

I took a step forward.

Although this will bring a price, I don't want to regret it again. With Firefly, I already failed once to protect her smile, at least this time... even if the future will be complicated, I at least want to protect this present.

Calmly, I advanced towards Feixiao.

I can feel it. Yaoshi, you're watching me, right? This entire Crimson Spring, you gave it to the borisin, right?

Feixiao charged towards my direction and I received her attack head-on. Although that single blow should have killed me instantly, I am immortal. As long as part of my body exists, I will never die.

Feixiao's arm that pierced my chest, she is unable to pull it out. I am using all my strength to hold her back. I want to vomit blood and scream in pain, but that will be when this job here is over.

-Aaaaaaaaaaah!

From my hands held together, the liquid filled with Abundance gushed forth, fell to the ground, and the landscape changed. A field of flowers and its gentle breeze caressed us.

The power of Abundance was exposed.

When Fiexiao regained his sanity and pulled his arm out of my pierced chest with a desperate look, all the nimboknights pointed their weapons at me...
