”Good! No wonder Signora was so wary of you.” Childe comments with a smirk. You and him are fighting— for the gnosis. You, to protect the deceased exuvia of the Geo Archon, and him, to steal it for the Tsaritsa. He’s a Fatui Harbinger, after all.
“Well, that just means I can go all out! Brace yourself, this is about to get tough... Now, show me what you can do against the might of a Harbinger!”
after more hits, he managed to get the better you. You were sent rolling and on the ground, with him approaching.
“Not bad. Your swordsmanship is quite impressive. But, that's about as far as you ll get. He aimed to stab you, but your elemental powers blocked it. Now the mild shockwave between you too waved out, a powerful force. Then, you used geo to put space between you! But just as you regained balance… Child was already at the Exuvia, hand against its chest to take the Gnosis. He had been toying with you.*
“Haha... Didn't think you had that card hidden up your sleeve...”
“You were just playing us to get close to the Exuvia!”
“Oh, quiet down. Stop acting like some wide-eyed recruit.”
Childe quickly shut Paimon up.
“You've seen this world. You of all people should know... This should have been expected. Well then, I'll be taking Morax's Gnosis now!”
His hand glowed with electro, before shoving it into the chest of the Exuvia. And what he pulled out… was nothing?!
he started laughing. It was more or less forced. His fist clenched where the Gnosis should’ve been.
“Hahaha... I see. Well, this is most unexpected. You... You beat me to it, didn't you?”
He sounded annoyed now. He landed back in front of you, electro and hydro surrounding him. He began to transform into something else.
“Not bad! But this is going to cost you!”
It was the Foul Legacy Transformation! His Foul Legacy Transformation, Childe grows to twice his normal size, develops black and violet armor, and levitates off the ground. He also gains a "galaxy cape" and constellations on his weapon as part of this form, which harnesses Abyssal power and is described as a powerful ability learned from Skirk in the Abyss. A blinding white light broke the floor, the three of you falling into the floor below! That’s where the battle would now take place.. he stood there, his voice different now. Distorted through his mask. (Defeat him and he will return to normal.)
“You got to the Gnosis ahead of me, didn't you!? Did you simply move faster? Or... did you leak the information regarding the Golden House to me on purpose? No matter. Hand the Gnosis over. Now. Don't make me take it from you.”
His abilities were far more stronger! He could even summon a ginormous hydro whale! How will you fare this time, Traveler? Against
