My Next Life in Teyvat: I Just Wanted Friends, Not Every Girl's Love!-Chapter 208 - 207 Durandal looked up at the sky

Beidou shook her head, looking at the lightning brewing within the dark clouds, a wild smile on her face.

Durandal looked up at the sky. From the beginning, a large amount of Electro Element had been continuously gathering within the dark clouds. A very strong bolt of lightning was about to strike the Alcor.

With Beidou’s power, she could most likely handle it, but she would also be injured in the process of dealing with this lightning.

As the core of this fleet, Beidou absolutely could not have any issues, so Durandal prepared to lend her a hand.

Thinking this, Durandal placed her hand on Beidou’s back, allowing her to link with her and strengthen her power.

"You..."

"Don’t get distracted, Captain Beidou. The biggest lightning strike is coming. Everyone is watching you."

Beidou looked behind her. Sure enough, the busy sailors occasionally glanced at her. Those eyes full of trust made Beidou take a deep breath, and a confident smile reappeared on her face.

Regardless of what Durandal had done to her, as the captain of the Alcor, she would ensure all her crew safely passed through this sea area.

The continuously gathering lightning soon struck down in Beidou’s direction. To everyone, it seemed not like lightning, but a giant beast.

"Bring it on!"

Countless Electro Elements gathered on Beidou. Powerful Electro Elements continuously converged on the Serpent Spine in her hand. Before the lightning struck, Beidou fiercely swung down her greatsword.

[Roar!]

Whether it was an illusion or not, everyone present seemed to hear a dragon’s roar. Beidou’s slash transformed into a giant Electro Element dragon that charged towards the falling lightning.

"This is the power that slays the [Sea Mountain]!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing because of this scene. Even Beidou was stunned by her own attack, her expression blank, completely lacking her usual heroic demeanor, replaced by a cuteness she rarely showed.

Beidou knew her own level very well. In the past, she had also cut down lightning, but never before had the Electro Element slash she unleashed transformed into a dragon. Her power was far from reaching that level.

It was Durandal! It was her assistance, strengthening her power, that allowed her to unleash such an attack.

As the lightning dragon collided with the falling lightning, only scattered Electro Elements remained in the sky. Those Electro Elements could no longer gather, posing no further threat.

"Haha... Ahahaha~ What a thrill! It was truly exhilarating!"

Beidou laughed loudly, unable to resist taking out the wine gourd from her waist and drinking heartily.

Although this power did not belong to her, she saw her future direction. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she could eventually unleash such a slash without relying on Durandal.

"Big Sister is so strong!"

"Big Sister is awesome o(￣▽￣)d!"

"Ahaha~ I knew it, as long as Big Sister is here, there’s no problem at all."

The sailors cheered enthusiastically. Paimon also couldn’t help but applaud. The lightning dragon just now was truly majestic. She even thought such an elemental creation had really appeared nearby.

"Your strength is quite good. I thought even with my help, you would have to put in some effort, but I didn’t expect you to easily cut down the lightning."

Durandal gave a thumbs up and praised, "The demeanor of the Dragon King is indeed extraordinary. Even lightning sees you and retreats."

"Ahaha~ I’ve heard words like that countless times before. Those people said it to flatter me, but coming from your mouth, it feels different."

To be praised by Durandal made Beidou feel even happier than winning a written exam against Ningguang.

Hehe~ I, Beidou, received praise from Durandal. Can Ningguang do that?

Beidou decided that when she returned to Liyue and drank with Ningguang, she would tell her about this and ask if the other party had ever been praised by Durandal.

Even if she had been praised, was it praised as heartily as she had been? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Hehe~ Durandal said that her title of Dragon King was indeed extraordinary. This was affirmation from a God, something she could boast about for a lifetime.

Beidou hummed happily, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Durandal take out a cup of sweet wine from behind her and place it in front of her.

She wasn’t planning to give her the wine to drink. Beidou had her preferred strong liquor and didn’t like sweet wine, so the meaning was clear.

Beidou clinked her wine gourd against Durandal’s wine glass. Both of them drank the wine in their hands, exchanging smiles.

"I have high expectations for your future, Beidou. The current Alcor is certainly not the end. It will become even bigger in the future, and you will have more crew members."

"The strongest fleet in Liyue is not your destination. The strongest fleet on the Teyvat continent is the glory the Crux will possess. I believe you can achieve this."

"Oh my~ These expectations are quite high, it’s a bit of pressure."

"Are you backing down?"

"Of course not, rather, I’m fired up."

Beidou boldly put her arm around Durandal’s shoulder, laughing brightly.

She knew she had gained Durandal’s approval and become her friend.

There was one more thing to show off to Ningguang. She had managed to become friends with Durandal in just a few days, and could now embrace Durandal’s shoulder like this.

Could Ningguang do that?!
