The might of the Doomsday Beast was overwhelmingly suffocating.
Even with Himeko's assistance, they couldn't swiftly defeat this dragon-shaped monster.
The redheaded big sister loudly warned, "Beware! This is the Doomsday Beast's ultimate skill—everyone, be ready to dodge!"
Her words had barely finished when countless purple-golden high-energy beams descended.
Each impact left massive craters in the durable metallic surfaces, turning the area into utter chaos.
Essentially... every high-energy beam carried the same power as Bochang fully activating the Dragon Talisman. Holding onto March 7th, the black-haired youth quickly used his teleportation ring again, narrowly escaping the Doomsday Beast's ultimate ability—Skyfall Apocalypse.
With three uses available, he had now consumed two.
Bochang only had one more life-saving chance left.
In that situation... not using it would have been impossible. Despite having a 100% increased Agility, it merely gave him slightly more time to activate the teleportation ring; even then, he came dangerously close to being hit.
Without it, evasion would have been impossible.
"The Doomsday Beast is incredibly powerful. If I hadn't possessed the teleportation ring or received that hundred percent Agility boost, I fear I'd be lying here as a corpse..."
On this chaotic battlefield, March 7th, Himeko, Dan Heng, and Stelle were all fully occupied with their own battles.
There was no one available to assist Bochang at that moment; he had to rely on himself for survival.
The reason Bochang could stay close to March 7th was because the pink-haired girl, intent on looking after the black-haired youth, remained near him throughout the fight, making their proximity advantageous.
Bochang's assistance also conserved much of her stamina, allowing her to direct more energy towards attacking the Doomsday Beast.
With gratitude in her eyes, March 7th looked at Bochang. Initially, she had planned to protect him from harm by staying nearby, only to find herself saved by him twice instead.
Due to the urgency of the battle, March 7th didn't dwell on it further and continued launching attacks with her blue longbow against the enemy.
Bochang refrained from further combat, instead quietly staying close to the pink-haired girl.
During the previous battle, he had used Dragon Blast multiple times, consuming significant stamina. Continuing at this pace could lead him to collapse first, and pushing himself under these circumstances would not be wise.
However... even without directly supporting with his attacks, the damage Bochang had already inflicted on the enemy was substantial.
After all, the Vow Spear remained lodged in the Doomsday Beast's left hand.
For now, Bochang saw no need to recall the spear; immobilizing the enemy's left arm with just one weapon seemed like a highly advantageous trade-off.
The Doomsday Beast appeared significantly weakened by this point.
It seemed that its earlier ultimate ability had taken a heavy toll.
Himeko and her allies seized the opportunity to relentlessly pummel their vulnerable foe. After several minutes...
Once again, both of the enemy's hands were shattered.
Himeko quickly organized a concentrated barrage, capitalizing on the moment.
Multiple attacks descended simultaneously.
Finally, this wave of attacks managed to destroy the antimatter core within the chest of the Doomsday Beast.
The dragon-shaped monster lost its structural support and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Did you all see that violet sphere on the Doomsday Beast's head? That's its true weak spot! Focus your firepower and obliterate it; the battle will be completely over then," Himeko declared with a sweeping gesture.
At this point, the fight had reached its conclusion.
With Bochang's command, the Vow Spear lodged in Dawn's left hand trembled and shot out like an arrow released from a bow... It circled through the air before landing back in the black-haired youth's grasp, ready to deliver the finishing blow alongside his teammates.
The blue spear was launched once more.
Initially, the violet sphere atop the Doomsday Beast's head was incredibly resilient, but after the destruction of the Antimatter Engine...
Its strength plummeted drastically.
Himeko's attack left a menacing wound on the violet sphere.
The Vow Spear forcefully pierced through again, delivering the final blow that instantly caused the sphere to explode. The immense power contained within radiated out and surged into the dragon beast's mouth before being expelled towards everyone.
With the Doomsday Beast already dead, it did not transition to a second phase as in the game. Instead, it unleashed its death attack directly.
The immensely powerful purple-golden beam emitted from its mouth swept erratically, following the chaotic movements of the beast's head, leaving deep scars on the space station's walls.
However...
Since the Doomsday Beast was truly deceased, although its death attack remained potent, it had completely lost any precision. It merely scanned haphazardly within the Railway Platform.
Possibly due to Bochang teleporting away with March 7th twice, the pink-haired girl's stamina depletion wasn't as severe as in the original storyline, preventing her need to squat down for rest.
As a result, the Doomsday Beast's indiscriminate sweeping attacks could not hit anyone at all.
Everyone effortlessly dodged the onslaught.
After nearly ten seconds, the Doomsday Beast's death throes ceased.
Its massive body could no longer remain on the Railway Platform and began sliding towards the vastness of space.
The final teleportation opportunity prepared by Bochang remained unused, as the battle had concluded before it was needed.
March 7th let out a long sigh and said, "Your weapon fell down there..."
"That's alright, it'll return."
With a thought from Bochang, the Vow Spear automatically detached itself from the Doomsday Beast's body, swiftly returning to his side with a soft swoosh, hovering quietly... akin to a well-behaved dog.
Filled with curiosity, March 7th finally seized the chance to ask, "What kind of weapon is that exactly? And earlier, when we were enveloped by a white light and suddenly teleported away, what exactly happened?"
Bochang anticipated this question from March 7th, noticing the curious gazes of others as well.
It was actually quite difficult to explain.
He initially hoped for "Dating Options" to provide a diversion at this moment, but surprisingly, there was no response whatsoever.
The black-haired youth pondered for a moment before explaining, "This blue long spear is called the Vow Spear, and this is a teleportation ring. The Vow Spear's ability allows it to fly out and return, while the teleportation ring produced the white light I used earlier to escape with March 7th..."
"I don't know how to explain the origin of these two items... It was as if I suddenly sensed their presence, and then they appeared beside me. Even I find it quite peculiar."
"Do you have any ideas, Himeko?"
Bochang tossed the question to the redheaded woman. She murmured thoughtfully, "Perhaps you possess some space equipment on your person? That way, when needed, you could directly access them."
In a world set against the backdrop of the universe, space equipment was not uncommon. As long as one had the money, obtaining such gear was feasible.
For example, Himeko's black suitcase utilized spatial dimension technology; otherwise, there would be no room to accommodate an escaped satellite, let alone additional bulky items like the single-molecule saw and various vehicle repair tools...
Regarding the matter of space equipment,
they discussed briefly but ultimately found nothing resembling space gear on Bochang.
Thus, the topic remained unresolved.
However, it made one thing clear:
Bochang harbored his own secrets.
