Beluga whale.
Although everyone had collected a lot of information about the white whale before, only when they saw it with their own eyes could they truly experience what kind of creature it was.
giant.
A white whale that is dozens of meters long is floating and spinning in the air. Its huge body just appearing in the night sky is enough to give people an unimaginable sense of oppression.
“So big…”
Looking at the white whale in the sky, even the priestesses could not suppress their hesitation and uneasiness. This was from human instinct, the fear and terror of their own huge existence.
"call……"
The huge white whale swept past everyone's eyes, and at this moment everyone seemed to be captivated by the huge figure.
"Attention everyone!"
Crusch was the first to react, drawing his sword and swinging it forward.
“Attack!!”
“Ohhhhhhhh!!!”
With Crusch's roar, the soldiers rode on the earth dragons, weapons in hand, and rushed towards the direction of the white whale. At the same time, the magic cannons behind the battle formation began to charge, and then roared and fired rays, blasting towards the white whale.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”
The pure white magic beam bombarded the white whale, immediately creating a cloud of smoke that engulfed the white whale.
"Release the magic to drive away the night!"
Following Crusch's order, a bright ball of light was quickly launched into the sky, and then suddenly exploded. The next moment, the originally dark night sky suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a clear sky like daytime.
“So amazing…”
Seeing this, the girls around Fang Zheng couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise. Although many of them had experienced many battles, they had never seen military-level magical power like this. And now, being able to dispel the darkness and return to the day was even more unimaginable to these girls.
"Can magic do something like this?"
Now Main also saw it, and Mailu also shook her head in surprise.
"I don't know, but I can't do it!"
“——!!”
The deafening roar resounded throughout the battlefield. The huge sound waves even formed a shock wave that rushed forward, bringing up a cloud of dust. Even the girls who were watching the battlefield from afar instinctively covered their ears. At the same time, Fang Zheng saw Crusch riding on the ground dragon suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and swung it hard at the white whale!
"boom!!"
The next moment, the white whale's huge body immediately burst into blood as if it was hit by an invisible sword. After this attack, the white whale immediately turned its body and let out an angry roar again.
At the same time, the magic cannon opened fire again.
The continuous artillery fire completely enveloped the white whale. Seeing this, the girls cheered, while Fang Zheng drank Coke silently without saying a word.
However, these bombardments did not cause enough damage to the white whale. After another round of bombardment, the white whale only vaguely saw blood and wounds on its surface. This made the white whale even more angry. It dived in the direction of Crusch and rushed towards her with its mouth wide open.
Seeing the white whale rushing towards them, the other soldiers dodged to the sides, only Crusch remained standing. At the same time, an old man riding a ground dragon ran out from behind Crusch quickly. Just when the white whale lowered its head and opened its mouth to swallow the two of them, the old man suddenly jumped up, and both he and his sword turned into a ray of cold light, and stabbed straight at the white whale.
“——!!!”
Blood splattered again, and the white whale screamed in pain, struggling to fly into the air and rolling, trying to break free from the old man. But the old man was completely unaffected, holding the long sword in his hand and cutting one crack after another on the white whale's body. This also caused blood to drip from the white whale's head for a while.
“——!!”
Finally, the angry white whale shook its head and threw the old man away. But the old man seemed to have expected this move and easily returned to the flying earth dragon and then dodged the bloody mouth of the white whale.
At this time, a warrior who looked like an orc also rushed over and led his men to attack the white whale again. Fang Zheng remembered that these were the mercenaries hired by Crusch, and now it seemed that they were quite powerful.
"Everyone disperse!"
At this moment, Crusch raised the sword in her hand again, and as she moved, the sword began to flash again.
Then, Crusch aimed at the white whale and swung his sword down.
“——!”
The white whale's body suddenly bent downward from the middle, and blood gushed out again. At the same time, Crusch also gave an order.
"Cast magic, target the flank!!"
Hearing Crusch's order, the magicians nearby raised their hands one after another, and then, fire magic was continuously released, hitting the white whale's abdomen.
“Come on! Come on!!”
Watching the fierce battle from a distance, the girls were also very excited and kept cheering for the soldiers on the battlefield. However, the white whale that was hit by the fire magic did not react at all and was completely engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
"Great! We win!"
Seeing this, Milu jumped up happily, and the priestess breathed a sigh of relief and put down the scepter in her hand. As for Huihui, she looked a little regretful and couldn't help but grumble.
"Really? I wanted to try out the explosion magic on it..."
"Then you have a chance."
Fang Zheng finished the Coke in his hand and yawned.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this group of people will definitely lose."
"Why?"
The girls were all stunned when they heard Fang Zheng's decisive answer.
"No way, it's going smoothly, right?"
"Yes, it went very smoothly. However, did you see that the white whale was dead?"
"Why?!"
At this moment, the girls were also shocked and turned their heads to look, only to find that... the white whale was still staying in the air and did not descend at all!
"But, but, if there are a few more rounds of attacks like this..."
"You think White Whale is a fool. Besides, even if we have a few more rounds, nothing will change."
Fang Zheng shrugged and snorted, but others seemed to have different opinions. Milu's companion, the red-haired magician Reina, snorted.
"What's so great about that? In my opinion, the monster is just a little bigger."
“Size itself is an advantage.”
"But didn't the old man just slash the white whale? And the white whale screamed very loudly."
"If I prick you with a needle a few times, it will make you scream."
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.
"But will you die?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Reina stopped talking.
"Is there no other solution?"
At this moment, the priestess's heart, which had been relieved, was lifted again, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"It depends on the situation. This time, Crusch has completely revealed his trump card. From what I've observed, the only one who can effectively harm the white whale is her. The old man and the mercenaries are more or less capable. As for the magicians, it's ok for them to set off fireworks to add to the fun, but the others are just there to make up the scene. But the most important thing is that none of them have the means to win with one strike. If the white whale turns around and runs away, then all their efforts will be in vain."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took an apple from Rem's hand.
"It would be fine if they could have successfully knocked the White Whale to the ground in the last round of attacks. As Milu said just now, in this round of attacks, Crusch and the others played at their best, but still got this result. As the battle time gets longer, their condition will naturally decline... After such an outburst, they still couldn't even reduce the White Whale to half health. It looks like they will be wiped out in this boss battle."
While Fang Zheng was speaking, the battle was still going on. The old man with white hair and beard performed the best. He jumped up again, landed on the back of the white whale and attacked it again, even blowing out one of its eyes.
However, that’s where it ends.
“——!!”
The deafening cry rang out again. At the same time, everyone saw thick fog suddenly appearing around the white whale's body. The fog sprayed out from the white whale's body and completely enveloped the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye.
"I hit a critical hit, which means I've entered the second stage..."
Looking at the fog in the distance, Fang Zheng shook his head.
"It looks like a pill, but it's a wild group, so this is normal."
Just as Fang Zheng said.
After the battlefield was shrouded in fog, the situation immediately became bad. There were screams and sounds of magic everywhere. It was obvious that someone was attacked, but no one knew where the enemy was or what was happening. On the contrary, the girls who were observing the battlefield through monitoring magic saw everything that happened clearly.
The white whale lurked in the fog, attacking the soldiers from time to time, and most of the soldiers were swallowed by the white whale before they even had time to react. Although the others wanted to hide, the fog that covered the sky and the sun messed up their sense of direction. Even if they wanted to reunite, they couldn't see the signal clearly in the pitch-black fog.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, please go and help them. If this continues, it will be bad!!"
At this moment, the others were no longer in the mood to watch the show and looked at Fang Zheng, who shook his head.
"I can't go."
“Why?!”
"Because I have a bad relationship with Lugnica, this time Crusch came to attack the White Whale to fight for the throne. If I take action, it will be equivalent to people thinking that I am in the same group with her. And Crusch also said before that he hopes I won't take action."
"But……"
"But I'm the only one who won't do anything."
"???"
Everyone was stunned for a moment when faced with Fang Zheng's words, some not understanding what Fang Zheng meant, while Fang Zheng just laughed.
"Listen carefully, you are not my subordinates, you are just my friends and companions, so if you go to help, it does not conflict with me not taking action."
"ah!"
Hearing this, the girls were stunned for a moment before they realized that, indeed, just as Fang Zheng said, they were not Fang Zheng's subordinates!
Although Fang Zheng often takes the priestesses on adventures and missions, Fang Zheng himself is not an adventurer. Mai Lu and the others are just staying here temporarily, and their identities are almost the same as guests. Only Ram, Rem and Maine are strictly speaking members of Fang Zheng's faction, but Ram and Rem will not act without Fang Zheng's orders. As for Maine...she also needs to have the fighting power!
"Red Pledge!"
Milu drew out his sword and pointed it towards the battlefield.
"Let's go!!"
"oh!!"
Hearing what Mai Lu said, her three companions also shouted, and then hurried to the battlefield. Then the priestess also grasped the scepter tightly, bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng, and then left with Ai Si and Hui Hui.
"Hahahaha, it's just a white whale. Let it taste the power of my explosion magic!"
Hearing Megumin’s immature laughter, Maine showed an uneasy expression.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, is this really okay?"
"In theory."
Fang Zheng did not give a definite answer.
“If they can use Megumin well, there will be absolutely no problem. Megumin’s explosion magic is enough to roast the white whale from the inside out to perfection, and then remove the head and eat it. The problem is…”
“Meihui can only use it once…”
Maine also sighed. Now, almost no one in the entire castle didn’t know Huihui’s “abilities”.
Although Huihui can only use one shot a day, in fact, the power of this shot is - in the castle, its attack damage is second only to Fang Zheng, and even Mai Lu can't withstand it.
The problem is that it can only be used once a day, and once used up it's gone.
Next, it depends on how they use Huihui.
At the same time, the battlefield was already in chaos.
Although Crusch reorganized the team in time, one member of the team was still missing, and soon, the white whale launched a mental attack on them - although it was unknown why, its screams caused many people to have a reaction similar to magic poisoning, and fell into madness and confusion. Although Ferris and other people in charge of treatment were doing their best, it was still just a drop in the bucket.
Even the old man was panting at this moment.
“Drink it!!”
After successfully leaving scars on the white whale again, the old man rolled over and landed on the ground. At this moment, suddenly, the white whale appeared from behind him, opened its mouth wide, and tried to swallow the old man completely.
Looking at the bloody mouth behind him, at this moment, the old man had no time to dodge.
Is that the end?
"Mother Earth, please protect your people and grant us strength!"
In a flash, just when the old man was about to be swallowed by the white whale, accompanied by a shout, a golden barrier suddenly emerged from behind the old man, almost blocking the bloody mouth of the white whale.
"Holy Shield!"
The old man reacted immediately at this moment. Although the holy shield only lasted less than three seconds before being completely shattered by the white whale, the old man took advantage of this short period of less than three seconds to suddenly increase his speed and escape from the attack range of the white whale.
"Sir Wilhelm!"
Seeing the old man escape death, Crusch was relieved. Only at this time did she turn her head and look towards the place where the sound came from. Then, Crusch saw Milu and her companions, the priestess, Huihui and Ais standing not far away.
"you……"
"We're here to help!"
Milu raised her sword high.
"We are the Red Oath Squad! We are adventurers!"
