The demonic beast was unable to move under the big tree, and the blade of the Sword Demon moved across its back without any confusion.
The slash cut from the top of the head tore the back, pulled it to the tail, fell to the ground, and then cut back from the lower abdomen towards the head, a sword - long and endless, a sharp silver light flashed deep, and turned around to kill Bai Bai.
The whale was cut in two, and the sword ghost jumped up and landed on the nose of the white whale that had stopped moving again.
Shaking the blood-stained sword, the sword ghost's eyes met the white whale's one eye - the two fates were intertwined.
"I'm not going to accuse you of evil. Because it's useless even if you tell the beasts about good and evil. All that exists between you and me is the law of survival of the jungle."
"——"
"Sleep—forever"
In the end, there was a weak roar, and the beluga's eyes lost their brilliance.
The huge body lost its strength and collapsed, accompanied by the tremors of the earth and the flow of vermilion turbidity.
The streets of Lefaus were filled with silence—
"It's over, Theresia, finally...!"
Wilhelm stood on the head of the silent white whale, looking up to the sky and shouting
The sword fell from his hand, and he covered his face with his free hands. The sword ghost's voice trembled as he lost his sword.
"Theresia, I..."
Wilhelm's voice was hoarse.
"I love you--!!"
On the body of the white whale, the sword ghost who dropped his sword shed tears and told his love for his deceased wife.
"Here - the white whale falls"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the girl who came forward leisurely on a white earth dragon. Her long green hair was messy. Due to the injuries sustained in the battle, the decorations on her body had become terrible, and her face was also ugly.
stained with own blood
Crusch raised his head under the gaze of the knights and took a deep breath.
Because he lent the sword to Veruhelum, Crusch doesn't have a sword now.
So she raised her fist in the air, as if she wanted to show everyone her clenched fist.
"The Fog Monster that has lived for four hundred years and threatened the world - Wilhelm Van Astraea defeated it!!"
"--oh oh!"
"This battle is our victory——!!"
A loud declaration of victory came from the Lord's mouth, and the surviving knights cheered in unison
On the plain where the fog has dispersed, there are signs of returning to night
Illuminating people, the night returns to its proper appearance
——The cheers spread across the moonlit plain, and the swords raised by the knights shone brightly in the moonlight.
The huge body of the white whale was lying under the big tree of Friugal, and the people surrounding the body fell into a frenzy. Everyone was satisfied with this victory and shed tears of emotion for the realization of their tragic wish.
“————!!”
Two huge roars sounded, causing the streets of Lefaus to tremble and drowning out the cheers.
Those were two other white whale clones that had lost their true bodies. Affected by the death of their true bodies, the clones flapping back and forth on the ground gradually collapsed and turned into mist.
It seems that due to the interruption of the magic power provided by the main body, the clone's body can no longer sustain itself.
Even if you leave it alone, this miserable look will disappear within a few minutes.
"disgusting scenery"
With these words, Crusch waved his hand and released an invisible wind blade, putting an end to this ugly appearance. The wind slash that carried the storm cut through the head and easily cut off the twisting beluga skin.
Cut open - the huge body was cut in two, and its existence was literally dissipated in smoke. The remaining end was also blown away by the crusade team's magic stone cannon. It returned to the mist, and the burst of magic returned to the atmosphere. The huge
body completely disappeared
This attack truly announced the end of the White Whale Crusade.
"It's completely over..." Yuexing murmured
"Yes," Rem said softly, gently stroking Yuexing's hair.
Resting his head on Rem's lap, he looked at the reappearance of the night sky, feeling extremely tired on his body.
Subaru slowly came to Yuexing
"Thanks to you this time, Subaru."
Subaru smiled
"Everyone is working hard, right?"
The evening breeze blows across the plain, and the vast green grass sways in the wind
The surviving people gathered around the fire, cheering for victory, crying for the loss of their comrades, and most of all they were happy.
"Yes," Yuexing said with emotion.
"Yue Xing Meow!" Phyllis's voice floated over
Then a hand glowing white pressed on the body
"Phyllis, actually you don't have to do it for me anymore..."
"How could it be? Little Phyllis couldn't help Yuexing Cat recover her physical strength, nor her magic power!" Phyllis looked at Yuexing in surprise.
Yuexing scratched his head and said
"Although the trauma has recovered, the body will become extremely weak after the effect of the 'ghost' disappears. Replenishing the demon can only shorten the time of the sequelae."
"So this is the reason why I don't use the 'horn' until it's critical. But now it's okay to move around. If it's a battle, I won't be able to contribute too much, at least in terms of magic.
No." Yuexing spread her hands, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.
"Is everything okay, Huang Yuexing?"
Turning around, Crusch walked slowly across the grass.
"It's nothing serious. Crusch, are you okay?"
"I'm indeed fine, but the damage to the expedition team is definitely not small, because even if the White Whale is defeated, the disappeared people will not come back."
Crusch glanced around, with a hint of pain in his eyes
What she was looking at was the carcass of the beluga whale that was currently pressed under a big tree. The surviving expedition team seemed to be gathering people with less injuries, trying to remove the big tree that was pressing on the beluga whale first.
"What are you doing, over there?" Subaru asked
"The body of the white whale must be taken out, and the big Friugal tree that sacrificed in the battle must also be disposed of. Just because it is after the battle, we cannot take it lightly."
"Bring out... that big, deadly corpse?" Subaru asked in surprise.
Yuexing looks at the big Friugal tree holding down the white whale
"I think it will be difficult," Yuexing said
"This is not a question of whether it can be done or not. It is a threat that has been flying in the sky around the world for four hundred years. Only with clear evidence like its corpse can people truly feel at ease. No matter what, even if it is only
I have to move my head back too.”
"As long-lasting performance, it is indeed a necessary choice."
Crusch was originally the best candidate for the king's election and was deeply supported by the people. If he can still earn the favor of the concerned businessmen this time, Crusch's status will be as solid as a rock.
Thinking of this, Subaru frowned
"The expression on his face suddenly changed - I really couldn't tell that it was the expression of the hero who shot down the white whale," Crusch said.
"Are you going to be called a traitor by little Emilia as soon as she opens her mouth... Hey, what did you just say?" Subaru turned around and looked at Crusch in surprise.
"The hero who shot down the white whale - the master is not shameless enough to take all the credit for your work."
Yuexing struggled and stood up
Seeing Yuexing's movements, Crusch slowly raised his hand to his chest
"I can't thank you enough for your help this time. Without you, I would not have been able to defeat the White Whale, and my goal would have been abandoned halfway."
Saying this, he bowed deeply to Yuexing and Subaru.
Crusch's sincere gratitude, this warmth flowed into my heart
"This has never been a war of just a few people. Without your help and Subaru's plan, the battle might still be at a stalemate," Yuexing said.
Crusch smiled
"No, tell the story of where the white whale appeared, run around for the underpowered expedition, arouse the consciousness of the demoralized knights, and come up with a clever plan to bring themselves back to life by putting themselves in danger. On top of that, there are also
You have completed the task beautifully and held victory in your hands. This is precisely your achievement."
Crusch listed various actions in this battle
"But it was indeed an unforgettable experience," Subaru said.
"There is no doubt that the heroes of this battle are you. If anyone behaves in a way that underestimates your achievements, I also swear on my honor that I will correct them."
Crusch looked at and praised Crusch with a serious expression, without any calculation or hesitation.
"The evaluation has really changed a lot, I'm shocked," Subaru said with a wry smile.
"There is no need to be humble. Moreover, I have to admit that I made a huge mistake in my understanding a few days ago. You have brought rare luck. Originally, for this contribution, you should be invited to this family and given corresponding rewards."
Crusch narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice, and persuaded Subaru and Yuexing to join him.
"forgive me"
Subaru immediately raised his hand to refuse her persuasion.
"Although it is different from loyalty and loyalty, my trust has been placed where it should be entrusted. You are a good person, and I sincerely think that you will do a good job after becoming the king, but..."
"——I want Emilia to become the king."
"Not for anyone else, just because I want to do it"
"...Although I already knew the answer, I answered it so resolutely. It was a refreshing rejection."
After hearing Subaru's answer, Crusch raised the corner of his mouth and nodded.
Crusch then looked at Yuexing
"I haven't shown my support for any party yet, but from a certain perspective, I am on the side of my benefactor Emilia, but I have no intention to participate in the king's election. Of course, if the leader does something unsatisfactory,
If so, maybe I will seriously consider it," Yuexing said with a smile.
"Okay, I, Crusch Karustan, am looking forward to your arrival." Crusch smiled at Yuexing and nodded.
"As for the alliance, please leave it to me. No matter what kind of hostility we end up with, please maintain good relations until then." Subaru clapped his hands and said.
"Natsuki Subaru, please revise your idea."
Crusch's smile disappeared and he pursed his lips seriously
"What?" Subaru asked
"Even if the time comes for a showdown, I will still be friendly to you."
"Even if we part ways one day, I will never forget the kindness I received today, so even if the time of hostility comes, I will pay respect and be friendly until the end," Crusch said with a solemn voice.
"This sentence is very charming," Yuexing joked.
"——Phew, I haven't considered what being a woman can do to you. Although it is not without touching my heartstrings, my heart has already been completely entrusted to that dream——until the dream of that adult comes true.
until"
Crusch replied with a slight smile.
"Then if possible, I would like to transport the wounded and the white whale's body to the capital, but it seems like you still have any mission left."
