Chapter 74: The Fall of the White Whale
"Even so, I have sworn to avenge my wife. Even if I die, I will fight the White Whale until the very end!"
Wilhelm said seriously, determined not to let this opportunity to fight the White Whale slip away. Even if he were to die in battle, it would be a kind of relief.
'Wilhelm is an incredible combat force and cannot be wasted,' Ayanokouji thought to himself, then said, "Since the agreement has been reached, I will fulfill my promise."
He lifted his head and directed his gaze toward the three White Whales in the sky.
"I said, I will take care of it."
His words were very calm, as if he had just passed a death sentence on the White Whale.
He had just been observing the White Whale and now had a full understanding of its characteristics. Before arriving at the center of the battlefield, Ayanokouji had already thought of a way to deal with the White Whale.
"Really?"
Crusch still had a look of disbelief on her face. It was hard to imagine that Ayanokouji had truly thought of a way to deal with such a monster.
However, she could sense that the other party was not bluffing. There was no change in his facial expression, as if the monster that had caused chaos for over four hundred years was of no importance at all.
"Yes." Ayanokouji then turned to Beatrice, "Betty, do you still have enough magic power?"
"Of course, the White Whale doesn't require much magic power at all, especially since the magic stored over this period is quite substantial." Beatrice said as she extended her hand to hold his palm.
Earlier, Ayanokouji had asked her about the extent of the magic stored in her body, so he felt confident and bold enough to let Beatrice accompany him.
"We have to face three White Whales at once!" Wilhelm said anxiously.
"No, in reality, we only need to deal with one." Ayanokouji pointed to the sky, "Did you not notice? One of them is above, separated by a significant distance from the other two, as if it wants to stay away from the battlefield."
"Is that the original body?" Crusch suddenly realized.
"Yes, as long as we can eliminate it, the other two clones should also disappear." Ayanokouji said lightly.
Although the previous attacks launched by Crusch's camp were unable to defeat the White Whale, Ayanokouji judged from the White Whale's use of the Fog and Split skills that it had likely sustained significant damage. Otherwise, it wouldn't need to resort to such tactics.
"But our previous attacks didn't seem to be effective..." Felix said with a hint of worry.
"That's because its skin has special fur, which absorbs most of the force." Ayanokouji explained.
"No wonder!"
After hearing those words, everyone suddenly understood.
"So, what should we do?" Crusch asked.
"If you attack its insides, no matter how hard its outer skin is, its internal organs are very fragile." Ayanokouji deliberately paused, "Next, I'll need your help to create enough commotion to draw the White Whale's attention."
He then explained his plan to everyone present, instructing them to temporarily find some fabric or other items to use as earplugs, and finally focusing on Beatrice: "I'll leave it to you, Betty."
"Honestly, you only think of Betty every time you're in trouble." Beatrice pouted, looking very proud, but in truth, she felt needed.
"Yes." Ayanokouji nodded, then shouted, "Let's begin!"
Beatrice unleashed the magical barrier around her, and a thick fog immediately filled the air. Crusch, who had regained her composure, swiftly swung the sword in her hand, slicing through the oncoming dispersal fog. Then, she turned and loudly commanded her team of mages: "Attack!"
Countless fireballs were once again spewed from the ground, striking the two clones below. The towering flames, accompanied by deafening explosions, nearly dispelled much of the thick fog.
However, this level of attack was insignificant to the White Whale, and it couldn't even bring down the two clones.
But Ayanokouji had instructed them to attack not to cause significant damage, but to distract the White Whale.
He could have naturally let Beatrice use Yin magic to conceal their presence, disrupting the White Whale's sense of direction and distance, but to ensure Beatrice's attack output against the White Whale was high enough, he allowed her to conserve her magic temporarily to avoid unnecessary consumption.
Ayanokouji and Beatrice had already circled behind the two White Whales.
"Betty, now." Ayanokouji immediately said after confirming they were no longer visible to the White Whale.
"Quick!"
Although Beatrice said this at the moment, she held Ayanokouji tightly and then unleashed her magic, and the two of them turned into a beam of light, flying directly into the sky.
They flew straight to the highest point, right in front of the White Whale. The giant beast's eyes locked onto Ayanokouji and Beatrice.
Seeing the two uninvited guests, the White Whale seemed very angry. It opened its mouth like a black hole, revealing rows of sharp teeth, each larger than the size of an adult.
It let out an ear-piercing roar and triggered a massive gust of wind, causing Beatrice's long cream-colored hair to flutter wildly in the air.
"When a beast faces a threat, it will always open its mouth wide and roar to intimidate its opponent." Ayanokouji said. "When it opens its mouth wide, that's our chance to attack."
At the same time, Beatrice also raised her hand, aiming at the bottomless mouth of the White Whale: "El Minya!"
As she raised her hand, countless purple magical arrows appeared in the air. They looked like purple crystals, emitting a faint glow.
"How dare you mess up my hair!" Beatrice pouted and waved her right hand forcefully.
*SWOOSH*
Countless arrows surged like a tide, flowing directly into the White Whale's mouth.
As Ayanokouji had said, although the White Whale's surface had special fur that absorbed most of the force, its internal organs were completely unprotected!
And as the White Whale opened its mouth and roared, that was when Ayanokouji launched his attack.
The continuous stream of arrows pierced through the White Whale's body. When hit by the attack, the surrounding area of the impacted part would also crystallize. It could be said that Beatrice's attack was essentially a guaranteed kill!
Ayanokouji glanced at Beatrice beside him, who was continuously attacking. This was the first time he had seen her seriously launch an attack. Such terrifying power far surpassed anyone he had ever seen, whether it was Emilia or any other mage.
And this was still the case with her magic power limited. If Beatrice had a sufficient supply of magic power, her combat power would certainly be able to make a significant leap.
The attack had begun to take effect. The White Whale's body started to crystallize from the inside. The surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and its body could no longer maintain flight and fell directly!
*BAAMM*
Right after a loud sound, the massive White Whale hit the ground like a meteorite. The ground, which was initially very hard, surged like a wave, and mud, sand, and rocks splattered onto the ground due to the tremendous impact. A wall made of dirt and gravel formed, but it lasted only a few seconds before disappearing, leaving only smoke and dust in the sky.
The other two White Whales that had been swimming in the air also disappeared at the same time.
As the smoke and dust gradually cleared, the giant beast's massive figure was finally revealed – the White Whale that had just displayed its might lay on the ground, its body almost broken, but it wasn't completely dead, still breathing slightly.
Crusch's soldiers were stunned and looked at each other, no one daring to speak.
No one expected Ayanokouji to actually bring down the super monster that had rampaged for four hundred years from the air.
Soon, Ayanokouji and Beatrice also returned to the ground and slowly walked toward the dying giant beast.
The height difference between the two was obviously significant, but at this moment, Ayanokouji seemed like a giant, standing in front of the White Whale.
He chose to eliminate the White Whale not only to remove this potential threat and create an unparalleled achievement but also to demonstrate the terrifying combat effectiveness of his camp.
If just one Great Spirit reached this level, let alone the presence of the Great Spirit in Emilia's camp.
"What incredible vitality." Ayanokouji looked at the dying White Whale in front of him and said slowly, "I originally thought that being attacked by Betty and falling from such a height would have killed it on the spot. It still has a breath."
He began to think about what kind of existence the Witch of Gluttony, who created the White Whale, was.
The Witch of Greed created Beatrice, and the Witch of Gluttony created the White Whale. This showed that these Witches had incredibly excessive power. Even if history recorded that almost all of them had died, they still influenced everything in the world.
This made Ayanokouji have to be on guard. There were still many unknown and powerful existences in this world.
"Ayanokouji-sama."
A hoarse and slightly trembling voice slowly echoed, bringing Ayanokouji's thoughts back to reality. He turned to look at the other party.
It was Wilhelm.
"That's right..." Wilhelm replied with a serious face, "I've been waiting for this moment for too long... I'm sure Ayanokouji-sama has given me the chance to exact my revenge with my own hands this time. At the very least, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will avenge you, Ayanokouji-sama!"
As he spoke, Ayanokouji saw tears welling up in Wilhelm's reddened eyes.
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you." Ayanokouji said.
"I am grateful!"
After speaking, Wilhelm raised his sword and began stabbing the dying White Whale.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH
Pu-chi Pu-chi Pu-chi
The sharp blade sliced through the lower part of its body little by little, and its blood gushed out like a fountain, staining Wilhelm's entire body red. The area echoed only with his nearly hysterical cries, venting the sorrow in his heart.
Seeing this, those around him lowered their heads, as if mourning the loss of a relative and friend.
Beatrice glanced to the side, not wanting to see such a scene, while Ayanokouji remained expressionless. He observed all this with deep thoughts in his heart.
'Is it out of hatred? Or out of love for his wife?'
He couldn't understand why Wilhelm, who had initially seemed gentle, had now turned into a madman.
Are emotions important? It seemed to provide Wilhelm with a steady stream of strength, making his body, which should have been exhausted, tireless.
While Ayanokouji was thinking, Wilhelm had vented his rage and returned to everyone. The monster known as the White Whale had long since lost its breath and turned into a corpse.
Wilhelm shed tears, threw his sword aside, and then knelt right in front of Ayanokouji: "Congratulations, Ayanokouji-sama, on defeating the White Whale!"
Not only him, but everyone around, including Crusch and Felix, all knelt on the ground.
"Congratulations, Ayanokouji-sama, on defeating the White Whale!"
Their voices echoed continuously in the world.
