After that night, the team was busy. 

They go through multiple obstacles as they prepare for the battle and bring the Holy Lyre back to its original power.

Like going through a ruin temple to acquire Dvalin's tear.

Aether first experience with a Ruin Guard challenge his limits as Aether didn't have the power and elemental reaction to defeat it, so his only option was to chip it down until it was finally defeated.

Then they have to go through many traps and obstacles inside the ruin, making the journey hard.

Anyway, the team was able to bring back the Holy Lyre to its pristine state and head to Starsntach Cliff to draw Dvalin.

Venti play the Holy Lyre and as it resonate, Dvalin appeared.

But like any adventure type games, you think it will be easy?

Dvalin: You have come... What has been done cannot be undone...

Venti: Then why do I see sadness n your eyes? Sadness that speaks for your yearning of this song...

Dvalin let out a growl 

Jean was surprise that Dvalin and Venti are communicating. Before she can talk...

A Cryo shot hit the Holy Lyre from Venti's hand and fall to the ground with cracks visible on it.

The team were horrified to see the holy artifact of Mondstadt destroyed and see the Abyss Mage next to Dvalin.

Cryo Abyss Mage: Do not be fooled by him, dear dragon... He left you to rot alone...

Venti was visibly hurt as his wrist was scratch by the attack from the Abyss Mage.

Cryo Abyss Mage: Now he attempts to deceive you once more...

Dvalin, left alone by Barbatos and not want to felt that loneliness again, Dvalin grew irate.

Dvalin: Barbatos...!

Cryo Abyss Mage: Let your wrath fester! Mondstadt has already turn its back on you!

Persuaded by the Cryo Abyss Mage's words, Dvalin let out a roar of anger as condem Venti for his betrayal.

The Cryo Abyss Mage let out a cackle. Before they can leave...

*slice*

Cryo Abyss Mage: Eh?

Everyone: Huh?

The Cryo Abyss Mage suddenly felt they lost sensation of their body and seconds later, their world view become half.

Aether: !

Paimon: Oh my god!

Aether witness the Cryo Abyss Mage split into halves and see their body disintegrate. Before it disintegrated, Aether saw the inside of its body and almost puke as its organs spilled out.

Dvalin quickly flew away seeing the death of the Abyss Mage, leaving the team alone on the cliff.

Aether: What was that!? What happened!?

Siegfried: Looks like its too late...

Everyone turn around to look at Siegfried who had a grim look on his face.
