The construct's primary feature was its large, central core, which was enveloped and protected by several layers of geometric shapes.
The core itself appeared to be a perfectly symmetrical cube, its surface adorned with the same glowing patterns as the rest of its body. This core was the source of the Geo Hypostasis' power and the key to its defeat.
The Geo Hypostasis had no discernible limbs or facial features, adding to its otherworldly and enigmatic appearance. Instead, it relied on its elemental abilities to manipulate the surrounding earth and stone to move and attack. It could hover gracefully above the ground, defying gravity, and launch devastating geo-based assaults on its enemies.
Lumine, agile and precise, struck at the Geo Hypostasis with her dull blade, attempting to find a weak point in the construct's defenses. However, her attacks seemed to do little more than chip away at its stone-like exterior, leaving her feeling frustrated and exhausted.
It's been roughly twenty minutes since they've began fighting the boss monster, yet there seemed to be no end to it.
Fischl unleashed a barrage of electro-charged arrows towards the Geo Hypostasis, hoping that the elemental reactions would weaken it. But the construct seemed unfazed, its defenses holding firm against the onslaught. There was no way really to damage the monster.
"Tch! Peasant!"
Fischl, her blonde hair cascading around her shoulders, huffed with frustration as she watched her electro-charged arrows bounce harmlessly off the Geo Hypostasis.
"Verily, the sovereign of immateria doth bear witness to my plight," she lamented, her words steeped in her usual theatrical flair. "As Oz and I unleash our indomitable tempest of arrows, they are but mere zephyrs against this geometric titan's impervious bastion."
Paimon provided support and encouragement to her friends. "Come on, guys! You can do it! Just keep hitting the baddie!"
"Paimon, I'm always grateful to you...but please stop talking for a minute." Lumine groaned, feeling the weight of her fatigue weighing down upon her.
"Aw...fine..." Paimon pouted, her usual cheery expression replaced by one of disappointment as she observed her friends' struggle.
The group's frustration mounted as the battle dragged on, the Geo Hypostasis showing no signs of weakening.
'It's taking us too long...What would Party Leader do in this situation...?'
Lumine had always admired Yomite's knack for quick thinking and intelligence during battles, regardless of the enemy they faced.
He possessed an uncanny ability to dissect situations, thinking of creative solutions from the recesses of his mind that led the team to victory time and time again.
She aspired to be like him, to develop the dexterity to adapt and strategize in the heat of battle, and to lead others.
She knew that if she wanted to vanquish the Geo Hypostasis, she had to think like him.
Like the person she fell in love with.
As Lumine persisted in her dodges and parries, evading the relentless assaults from the Geo Hypostasis, she compelled herself to zero in on the details of the battle.
She examined the construct's movements and attack patterns, probing for any signs of vulnerability.
As the Geo Hypostasis continued its relentless assault, it began to spawn large Geo pillars around the battlefield.
The pillars rose from the ground with a thunderous crash, hemming the party in and restricting their movement. Lumine's heart raced as she saw the predicament they were in, but she refused to let panic set in.
Lumine noticed Iris, their resident lazy dragon, near one of the pillars.
She wanted to shout for her to get away from the pillars, else she would get hurt but to her surprise, Iris reached out to the nearest pillar.
With a heave, she lifted it from the ground, the pillar now losing its glow.
She effortlessly swung the pillar around, smashing it into the others.
The pillars shattered upon impact, sending debris flying and creating an opening for the team.
"Good job, Iris!"
The minutes bled away, and Lumine's worry that she wouldn't crack the code intensified.
But then, as if fate intervened, she noticed something—a chink in the armor, a crack in the facade.
Like a lighthouse piercing the darkness, this revelation illuminated a path to victory.
The Geo Hypostasis revealed a brief moment of weakness between its attacks, the construct flickering like a faulty light bulb. In that instant, Lumine knew she had found her opening, a gateway to exploit and deliver a crushing blow.
Her heart pounded in her chest, the adrenaline surging like wildfire through her veins.
Lumine felt the weight of her team's expectations, the collective desire for victory resting upon her shoulders. Now that Yomite wasn't with them, she was expected to lead.
With Yomite's tactical genius as her guiding star, she readied herself to strike. In that fleeting window of opportunity, she would become the embodiment of her comrade's cunning, and together, they would bring the Geo Hypostasis to its knees.
"Everyone, I think I've found its weakness!" Lumine shouted, her voice filled with determination. "When it's about to launch a geo-based attack, its core briefly becomes vulnerable! If we can time our attacks just right, we can hit it where it hurts!"
Fischl and Iris exchanged glances before nodding, acknowledging Lumine's insight.
"In the presence of such unyielding fortitude, we find ourselves humbled and awestruck, for the illustrious Lumine, the Star Forger hath divined the chink in this behemoth's armor," Fischl proclaimed, a note of awe in her voice.
"With this newfound revelation, we shall vanquish the foe that hath vexed us so!"
As the group altered their strategy based on Lumine's keen observation, they found renewed vigor in their efforts to bring down the Geo Hypostasis.
Lumine, her sword poised and ready, concentrated on dodging the construct's formidable geo-based onslaught, anticipating the opportune moment to deliver a devastating blow.
As the Geo Hypostasis reeled from the combined barrage of Fischl and Iris, Lumine discerned her opening.
She sprung forward, her sword cleaving the air, and struck the exposed core with every ounce of her might.
The impact resonated through the Geo Hypostasis, inciting it to convulse violently.
Jagged fissures spiderwebbed across its once-impenetrable carapace, and the luminous patterns that adorned its body began to stutter and wane.
Sensing their adversary was on the brink of annihilation, the group seized their advantage, bombarding the behemoth with an unyielding torrent of attacks.
With a final, anguished bellow, the Geo Hypostasis fractured, its once-dreaded form reduced to a heap of debris and dust.
The group stood triumphant, their visages flushed with a potent cocktail of exhilaration and exhaustion, as they surveyed the remnants of their defeated enemy.

"Bravissimo, dear Lumine!" Fischl exclaimed, her peculiar manner of speaking still very much intact. "Thou hast verily demonstrated the acumen of a master tactician, and I, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, doth offer thee my most profound commendations!"
Lumine's cheeks flushed with embarrassment at Fischl's praise, and she quickly waved off the compliments. "Oh no...I-I'm not that smart," she stammered, her modesty shining through. "I...I was just trying to think like Party leader would in this situation... He's always so quick to figure things out and reliable..."
Fischl's eyes sparkled at the mention of Yomite, her own admiration for him apparent. "Indeed, thou speaketh the truth, dear Lumine," she agreed, her voice taking on a dreamy quality. "Yomite, the unparalleled hero, the zenith of wisdom and might, doth forever hold a special place in the chambers of mine heart. His visage, as radiant as the first light of dawn, and his power, as vast and boundless as the cosmos itself, stand peerless in this world."
As Lumine listened to Fischl's poetic praises for Yomite, she couldn't help but smile, her own admiration for their leader evident in her eyes.
She then turned towards Iris, who was looking back and forth between them, her expression confused.
Fischl's eyes sparkled as she shifted her thoughts to Iris, "And you, Iris, the pure dragon maiden of valor, the blazing beacon of justice, the dazzling diamond of virtue, have likewise proved yourself worthy of my trust."
"..."
Iris, somewhat bewildered by the events but recalling the advice Yomite had once given her, decided to act.
He had told her that should she ever receive praise from her friends, she ought to embrace them in a warm hug.
And so, with the usual emotionless face of hers, Iris wrapped her arms around Fischl, who found herself nearly smothered by her ample bosom.
Fischl's eyes widened, and she struggled to free herself from the unexpectedly tight hug, her voice muffled by the affectionate embrace.
"D-Dearest Iris, I appreciate thine intentions, but please...grant me reprieve! Release me from thy chest!"
But Iris, caught up in the moment and eager to express her gratitude, failed to register Fischl's discomfort. Instead, she held on tighter, her exuberance bubbling over like an overfilled cup.
"Woah...Paimon thinks Fischl's being eaten. Should we help? P-Paimon's a bit scared though..."
As Lumine looked on, she couldn't help but smile at the scene unfolding before her, touched by the genuine bond her friends shared, even amidst the chaos and uncertainty that surrounded them.
***
Finally, after surmounting the final trial of floor 12, Lumine and her team emerged onto the platform, where Yomite's team awaited.
The two groups exchanged warm greetings and Lumine immediately approached Yomite, this time before Fischl or anyone else could even say hi to him to make sure she was first.
She was eager to share her experience with the boss they had faced. Similarly, Yomite listened intently, keen on recounting his own team's encounter with their formidable enemy that annoyed them.
As they conversed, Yomite's hand reached out to gently hold Lumine's, as if in silent assurance he was glad she was okay.
As he squeezed it gently, a faint blush appeared upon her cheeks.
Her body language betrayed that she felt relieved and reassured by Yomite's touch, as well as by his reassuring words.
In a tender moment, he leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss upon her lips, the sensation both thrilling and comforting.
She sheepishly returned his gesture, her heart overflowing with feelings of warmth and affection for him. As the kiss lingered, she closed her eyes and basked in the tranquil moment.
"Come."
As they settled down, Yomite motioned for Lumine to rest her head on his lap, providing her with a cozy pillow.
"A-Are you sure?" Lumine asked hesitantly, worried she would be perceived as needy and clingy, despite having been intimate with him a couple of times before.
"It's fine," he replied, smiling at her, and then added, "You deserve it, Ms. Vice-leader."
Lumine's cheeks flushed again at his flattering compliment.
She obliged, her eyes shining with affection as she relaxed into the comforting embrace of her trusted leader.
This wouldn't be possible without the help of Hu Tao, who dried him off with her pyro vision, after he was blasted by the water attack of Oceanid.
Yomite's fingers began to play with Lumine's hair, twirling the golden strands around his finger as he reveled in the simple intimacy between them.
Lumine didn't mind the casual attention, though. In fact, she rather liked being pampered by him.
She relished every stroke of Yomite's soft hand, each caress bringing a soothing sense of peace and contentment.
As he continued playing with her locks, Yomite's hand paused, and he gently took the white flower from Lumine's hair, careful not to disturb her too much.
He held it up, examining it with curiosity. It was a flower he had seen her wear since they first met, and he couldn't help but wonder about its significance. It was unusual, as it never seemed to wilt or fade and she didn't water it either.
"What is this flower?" He asked, his eyes studying the delicate petals. "I've been meaning to ask for a while now."
Lumine opened her eyes and smiled, a hint of nostalgia glimmering in her gaze. "It's a special flower my brother, Aether, gave me before we were separated," she explained, her voice gentle and wistful. "It gives me strength to keep going and to never give up on trying to find him. Kind of...like you do."
She turned towards him, placing her hands atop his own. Her golden eyes shone with an intensity that pierced his very soul.
"There have been moments when I doubted myself, questioned whether he was really out there somewhere and whether I was even strong enough to find him..." Her expression grew grimmer as memories played in her mind like vivid flashes of lightning across the darkening sky.
The harsh realities of life, as well as the pain and loss, made their mark on Lumine's features.
"But thanks to you, I haven't lost hope. I genuinely..love you for everything you've done for me."
She stared into Yomites' eyes, soaking in every detail of his face, committing it all to memory.
He looked at her, bewildered at the sudden turn in the conversation, and delicately placed the flower back in her hair, making sure it was secure.
"..."
Yomite was momentarily speechless, his heart swelling with emotion as he absorbed the depth of Lumine's words.
