Chapter 134 - 134: Battle Against Beisht

"Last time, you said you wanted this broken blade. I pretended to be a craftsman and snuck into the training grounds to retrieve it for you," Bai Luo said.

In truth, this broken blade had reverted to its original form after Bai Luo drew the Reverse Blade Sword from the system, which automatically unbound the previous weapon.

It was only by chance that he thought of it and decided to bring it along.

First, Beidou hairpin, and now the broken blade of his close friend—these gestures, akin to entrusting his legacy, almost made Kazuha lose his composure.

"Mr. Himura, we've found the Sunsetias!"

Finally, with the help of two other ships, the sailors managed to gather a decent number of Sunsetias.

Without hesitation, Bai Luo stuffed all of them into his pockets.

Before boarding the small boat, he glanced at the long-silent Kazuha and took out one of the Sunsetias.

"A Sunsetia. It's sweet. Want one?"

No one knew what Bai Luo said to Kazuha before he left, but after he departed, Kazuha cried for a long time.

"Morax..."

As Bai Luo had expected, Beisht's attention shifted immediately when she sensed his departure from the Alcor.

"Morax!"

The thunderous female voice carried anger and a faint trace of sorrow.

Storms, waves, and lightning ravaged the area, and the small boat carrying Bai Luo bobbed violently in the water, seemingly on the verge of capsizing.

But under Bai Luo's control, the boat remained steady, moving away from the Alcor.

The serpent heads that had encircled the ship now all turned toward the small boat.

"Now! Full speed ahead!"

Beidou, who had been monitoring the serpent heads, immediately issued the retreat order.

The Alcor, along with two other ships, quickly broke through the encirclement and headed in the direction of the fleet's retreat.

They kept sailing until the serpent heads were completely out of sight.

"Drop anchor!"

Once they reached a safe distance, Beidou, her strength finally waning, collapsed into a chair brought over by the first mate, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

The ship's medic began preparing to treat her injuries.

"Send out a signal. We'll wait here. If the black clouds come, we retreat. If the clouds dissipate, we search for him."

Despite the pain coursing through her body, Beidou refused the medic's suggestion to rest indoors. She chose to wait on deck, personally overseeing the situation.

Meanwhile, after confirming that the Alcor was out of sight, Bai Luo's appearance began to change.

The red robe vanished, replaced by a black outfit that enveloped him entirely.

A pale mask covered his face, with a blood-red grin etched onto it that sent chills down anyone's spine.

"Time to begin."

Bai Luo crouched slightly, and the telltale signs of quantumization flickered across his form.

The space above Beisht's head began to twist. A thin black line appeared as if slicing through reality, forming a tear directly above her.

Grululu—

The black line expanded, revealing a sinister, bloodshot eyeball. It was unnervingly grotesque, its gaze fixed intently on Beisht as the pupil contracted into a vertical slit.

Shing—

The moment the slit-pupil locked onto Beisht, Bai Luo's figure materialized out of thin air above her head.

Without warning, his dagger plunged deep into Beisht's eye.

Zzzzt—

To his surprise, the attack triggered a critical hit, sending jolts of electricity coursing through her, freezing her massive, thrashing head in place.

Normally, Bai Luo preferred to target an opponent's kidneys, but Beisht was far too large for him to pinpoint such a spot. Instead, he aimed for her comparatively vulnerable eyes.

"ROAR!"

Recovering from the paralysis, Beisht immediately shook her head violently, attempting to fling Bai Luo off.

However, Bai Luo had already secured himself to her horn with steel wires. No matter how much she thrashed, he remained firmly in place.

"Is this all you can do, Morax? Resort to sneaky ambushes?"

Beisht's voice carried a mix of anger and humiliation, incredulous that the legendary Morax would stoop to jumping on a girl's face like this.

But Bai Luo, adhering to his principle of not taking the blame for others, ignored her taunts. He silently pulled out his dagger and aimed for her other eye.

If anyone's reputation was at stake here, it was Morax's, not his.

Although the small dagger wasn't enough to blind her, it certainly caused her considerable discomfort—especially with its strange, paralyzing electrical effects.

Seeing that her provocations were ineffective, Beisht let out an enraged roar and dove into the ocean.

The rushing waters roared around Bai Luo, who remained firmly tethered to her horn with steel wires. Without them, he would have been flung off instantly.

Faced with Beisht's evasive tactic, Bai Luo had no intention of letting her get away with it.

The crimson bracelet on his wrist began to glow. After stabilizing himself, Bai Luo positioned the bracelet directly beneath Beisht.

A fiery red circle appeared beneath her massive body, completely engulfed by her size.

It was so small compared to her, she didn't even bother to dodge it.

After all, what harm could a mere two-meter-wide circle possibly do?

BOOM—

Molten lava erupted violently from the circle, sending Beisht's enormous body hurtling into the air.

The force of the explosion was unimaginable, and when she crashed back into the sea, the impact sent waves towering over 100 meters high.

The distant Alcor, watching from afar, was likely in for a rough ride.

Ignoring Beisht's anguished cries, Bai Luo swung across her four heads using the steel wires, leaving countless wounds with his dagger.

While Beisht appeared battered, only the Heartfire of the Earth had dealt significant damage. Bai Luo's subsequent strikes merely annoyed her, causing discomfort at best.

The constant paralysis triggered by his critical hits was particularly irritating, leaving her momentarily numb and sluggish.

Her four heads quickly adapted and began snapping at Bai Luo, attempting to catch him like an insect.

To better counter him, she even shrank her mountainous body down to a more manageable size.

Though still massive, she was no longer as intimidating as before. However, her shrunken form came with even stronger defenses. Her hide, now more compact, became almost impossible for Bai Luo's dagger to pierce.

By the end, all he could manage were shallow scratches.

Seeing this, Bai Luo raised an eyebrow.

"So, you want to play it this way?"

His black coat transformed into a red robe. Without the steel wires anchoring him, Bai Luo executed a flawless backflip, leaping off her head and landing on her back.

Beisht's slimy, mucus-covered body made it nearly impossible for most people to stand, let alone fight. The viscous layer not only repelled attacks but also made footing treacherous.

But for Bai Luo, it was no issue. He was there for one reason: to set up his next move.

"Kuzu-Ryu-Sen!"
