“Wūūūūūūūūūūūūūūū————!”
Hakugei (White Whale)’s agonizing howl continued to reverberate, energizing the members of the expedition one after another, boosting their morale.
“Pū Chī——Pū Chī——Pū Chī——!”
The soldiers and mercenaries wielded their sharp blades, continuously slicing into Hakugei (White Whale)’s massive body.
“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang————!”
The magic of the mages and the blasts from the magic stone cannons exploded consecutively around Hakugei (White Whale)’s body.
“Ooooohhhh————!”
Wilhelm continued to roar, letting his hatred run wild as he slashed back and forth across Hakugei (White Whale)’s mountainous body, leaving behind a trail of wounds.
“Hah————!”
Crusch also kept her distance, her sharp sword swinging frequently, unleashing invisible slashes that ignored range, cutting through the air like a raging wind towards Hakugei (White Whale).
However, Ferris remained behind, helping the more seriously injured members who had just been attacked by Hakugei (White Whale) to recover.
The battle was developing in favor of the expedition, until a moment…
“Wūūūūūūūūūūūū————!”
Hakugei (White Whale) suddenly let out a berserk roar.
That roar was filled with rage and killing intent.
Shortly afterward, in almost a split second, the situation changed.
“Gū lū…”
With a somewhat nauseating sound, the concave pits on Hakugei (White Whale)’s body suddenly wriggled, opening simultaneously like mouths.
The next moment, mist appeared.
In the countless concave pits on Hakugei (White Whale)’s body.
Like erupting springs, dense mist gushed out from these mouths, turning into a violent storm, carrying a mass as it swept in all directions.
“Not good!”
Seeing this scene, Crusch’s complexion changed, and without the slightest hesitation, she gave the order.
“Everyone, retreat!”
Even without Crusch’s reminder, many people who felt sharp and skilled in combat, led by Wilhelm, had already begun to leave Hakugei (White Whale)’s vicinity.
However, there were still those who didn’t make it in time to retreat.
Like a tide, the surging mist engulfed some soldiers and mercenaries who were unable to retreat in time.
“Pū Chī————!”
The next moment, blood sprayed up from within the mist.
“Aaaaahhhhhhh————!”
Amidst the piercing screams, the soldiers and mercenaries swallowed by the mist were reduced to nothingness, as if they had been devoured alive. Apart from bloodstains, there was no trace left behind.
In that instant, these people disappeared from the world.
Completely and utterly.
Even their memories and evidence of their existence were not preserved, it was as if they had never existed in this world in the first place, they were completely obliterated.
Those who retreated completely failed to notice the reduction in their ranks, and it was as if they naturally forgot about the deceased and reformed their formation.
That was the Mist of Elimination (Shōmetsu no Kiri).
“Wūūūūūūūūūūū————!”
With this earth-shaking roar, the Hakugei (White Whale) swam through the mist, gradually rising into the air, its eyes filled with bloodthirsty rage, glaring down below.
“————!”
As everyone looked up at the menacing figure of Hakugei (White Whale), their hearts trembled violently in a split second, feeling a chilling sensation creeping up their nerves.
“Wūūūūūūūū————!”
Immediately, the Hakugei (White Whale) let out another roar, slowly opening its massive mouth.
Inside, a white mist was compressing and pulsating.
Mist of Elimination (Shōmetsu no Kiri), capable of erasing existence itself, surged violently from Hakugei (White Whale)’s mouth like an avalanche, cascading down like a waterfall towards the expedition below in the most violent form.
The coverage area spanned hundreds of meters.
The scene was as if the lofty cloud layer itself was descending, truly awe-inspiring.
“Retreat!”
Crusch’s voice finally carried a sense of urgency.
“It’s no use! It’s too late!”
Even Wilhelm seemed unable to keep his composure, his voice filled with anger and impatience.
As for the others, they could only stare blankly at the descending mist, frozen stiff like victims of an avalanche, unable to move a muscle.
This was the true power of the “Demon Beast of the Mist.”
The situation completely flipped in an instant.
It could be imagined that once the avalanche-like mist descended, except for a few individuals, the entire expedition would likely face annihilation.
If it weren’t for Fang Li.
“Hū————!”
While everyone was in a daze, watching the terrifying mist in the sky, a figure carrying a gust of wind landed among the crowd, his figure flashing as he he had used teleportation.
“Zheng————!”
Sparks of starlight gleamed as they converged under the figure’s feet in motion.
“Bang————!”
The ground shattered heavily, sending a blast wave rippling outwards.
Fang Li soared into the sky, ascending towards the descending mist like a meteor.
“Noooo!”
Crusch, Wilhelm, and even Ferris exclaimed in shock.
“Heavens…”
The soldiers and mercenaries in the expedition widened their eyes in disbelief.
In front of everyone’s eyes, the figure transformed into a meteor shot into the sky.
In his hand, he tightly gripped the dazzling Moonlight Dagger.
His ice-blue Mystic Eyes radiated a chilling light.
The crack-like Death Line imprinted into Fang Li’s vision.
Gazing at the cascading mist that covered the entire field of view, Fang Li raised his Moonlight Dagger.
His expression was unusually calm as he did this and then, the descending cloud layer and the soaring meteor met in mid-air.
Conflict erupted instantly.
“Qiāng————!”
The melodious hum of the sword sounded without any warning.
Under that sound, the sky lit up.
A bright and dazzling blade light suddenly appeared, slashing towards the sky like a crescent moon.
“Flashing Scabbard-Shining Moon!”
The crescent moon, like a flash of light, swept towards the sky, facing the white mist.
“Pū Chī————!”
In the crisp sound of slashing, the crescent moon-like blade light tore through the cloud layer.
The avalanche-like mist, under that stunning slash, was split in half.
No.
It wasn’t just split in half.
At that moment, the mist was killed.
Then, the Murdering Demon, transformed into a stream of light, pierced through the dissipating mist, soared past the turbid sky, and appeared before the wide-eyed Hakugei (White Whale), soaring into the air.
Then, it descended.
“Flashing Dash-Flying Moon!”
Like a meteor strike, accompanied by the falling figure, it heavily kicked down.
“Bang————!”
A heavy and stifling sound resounded.
The gigantic Demon Beast, comparable to a mountain, was forcibly kicked down from the sky and plummeted towards the earth.
