The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 258: Cut it in two with one stroke, Ruyi Sword!
While rescuing Zun Zun, Otto used magic to forcefully shoot down the white whale. Seeing this, the expeditionary force and the mercenary group swarmed over to suppress it.

Otto seemed to have pushed himself too far, draining all his strength and energy, and fainted after rescuing Zun Zun.

Zun Zun shook his head helplessly, "Really, I've become a clown. But you did a good job, my knight."

"Zun Zun, are you okay?!"

Natsuki Subaru ran towards the master and servant, both of whom were covered in blood.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Zun Zun waved his hands and even had the leisure to joke, "The inside of a white whale's mouth is actually no different from the inside of a giant toad's mouth. They're both pretty disgusting."

"No, I don't know what the two feelings you mentioned are."

Natsuki Subaru complained subconsciously. But when he saw that Zun Zun was full of energy, he relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

They took the unconscious Otto to rest under a big tree. Crusch was there directing the care of the wounded. His face suddenly changed when he saw them return in a mess, but then he relaxed when he found that they were not injured.

Everyone was in a meeting at this time.

Thanks to Wilhelm and Ricardo leading the expeditionary force and the mercenary group, Zunzun and the others were able to spare some time to discuss the next strategy.

"You said the white whale split?"

After hearing everyone's reports, the Duchess's expression looked ugly.

All of them are like this.

The three of them must take off?
Zun Zun said: "Don't worry, it's just that the number has increased. The overall strength of the white whales has not become stronger, otherwise I would not be here safely."

The so-called clone is an individual split from the original body. Therefore, no matter what, the strength of the clone will not exceed that of the original body.

"It's better to say that the white whale is easier to deal with now."

"…Well, they are weaker than the original one. I agree with this assumption."

Crusch nodded seriously.

However, she changed the subject and said, "But what does it matter if you know this? Although they are weakened by injuries, the threat is still greater than us. Even with Ferris's treatment, those who quit cannot return to the front line."

"Fortunately, our main force was not injured."

"But even so, it is easier said than done to kill three white whales..."

"There's no need to kill all three. It's enough to just kill the main body." Zun Zun interrupted her.

Hearing this, Crusch raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have any basis for this?"

"intuition."

"That's too arbitrary an answer."

Obviously, Zun Zun failed to convince Crusch.

Suddenly I felt a little impatient.

Although he understood that she was digging deep into the matter in order to protect the lives of the expedition team and the mercenary group, Zun Zun actually had no good excuse. After all, the other party could sense the lies. Besides, Zun Zun - the Red Demons were actually people with little patience. They didn't care whether it was right or not, they would just do it.

"I have the same idea as Zun Zun."

"Subaru Natsuki."

Crusch looked at him.

Natsuki Subaru nodded, pointed at the white whale in the sky and said, "Letting his two clones fight while he just watched from high in the sky, what do you think he is doing?"

"…In order to prevent the main body from getting hurt?"

"That's probably it. That guy didn't come down and didn't help either side. No matter how you think about it, he's afraid that his main body will get hurt, right? After all, even if we kill the two below, it may not hurt his main body. Even... after we defeat them with so much difficulty, their corpses will turn into mist and dissipate, and maybe new individuals will be born."

His words made everyone frown.

If that were the case, the battle would become an endless protracted war with no end in sight, and they would surrender early.

"Well, there is a reason why we have to defeat it."

"But the question is how to do it? Is there any way to attack from such a high altitude?"

Mimi and Heitaro said this one after another.

Zun Zun said, "Although my Thunder Sword can reach there, its power will definitely be reduced. It will not hurt the white whale at all."

"Same here, one cut is fine, but the white whale won't fall because of it."

Crusch followed closely and spoke of his predicament.

The white whale that escaped to the sky was almost as high as the clouds, hiding in a place higher than when it first appeared, showing the bad personality of the white whale. It was probably difficult to reach that position even with explosion magic.

“Rem…”

"I'm sorry, but the farther away the magic power is from your hand, the harder it is to control. Lord Roswaal may be able to do it, but Rem..."

The blue-haired maid also looked regretful about her own lack of ability.

"No, there is another way."

Natsuki Subaru looked at Zun Zun, no, to be more precise, at the cherry tied in his hair.

“Hey, can’t it be…!”

"Only one try!"

……

The battles on the left and right were fierce. Wilhelm and Ricardo led the expeditionary force and the mercenary group respectively to fight against the White Whale. They seemed to be intentionally pulling the White Whale away from this side.

And under the big tree.

"Let me first say I'm not sure."

"It's okay, I believe you."

“Where does your confidence come from?”

Zun Zun rolled his eyes at the carefree Natsuki Subaru in annoyance. This guy clearly told him before coming not to be so reckless and not care about his own life, but now he still wants to do such a dangerous thing. It's really unbearable. "I'm ready here!"

Rem said this to the two of them while standing on a thick layer of ice.

Natsuki Subaru's method is very simple. He first lets Rem create a large layer of ice, and then lets Zun Zun's cherry explode to generate huge propulsion force and send him into the sky.

As for how he attracted the white whale, he didn't say. Although this idiot pretended to be playful and said it was an exclusive secret, Zun Zun guessed that he must have used the witch's lingering fragrance to fish.

Zun Zun lifted him up along with the ice.

All Natsuki Subaru needs to do is be blown up into the sky, but he will have a lot of things to consider.

"It has come to this point, don't die."

"Don't worry, if I die accidentally, I will go this far again."

"Don't say such unlucky words!"

As Zun Zun laughed, he communicated with the cherry behind his head, and then the magic power condensed, collapsed and released -

"I'm fucking exploding!"

“Waaaaaa——”

With a bang, Natsuki Subaru howled and ascended to heaven.

Zun Zun didn't think too much about what he would encounter next, nor would he pay attention to it. Because Zun Zun had more important things to do, which was to kill the white whale!
Close your eyes.

The crown on his forehead kept shrinking, and Zun Zun's face turned from rosy to pale, and even the blood could not change the unspeakable paleness. But his aura did not weaken, but became stronger.

A powerful blow is brewing.

the other side.

Flying into the sky, Natsuki Subaru climbed onto the white whale smoothly, desperately grasping the white whale's nose to prevent falling, feeling the rough skin and body hair with his palms, frowning uncomfortably. The strong wind at high altitude and the fishy smell of the white whale's mouth made him very uncomfortable.

Natsuki Subaru, also known as the witch's fragrance, climbed onto the white whale, causing the white whale's appearance to change suddenly.

The monster that had been sitting and watching before was obviously in an excited state, with mist, saliva and laughter flowing out of its mouth, and it rudely and grandly welcomed the meat that had fallen into its trap.

Natsuki Subaru did not say anything harsh.

He glared at the white whale fiercely - staring into its blood-red eye, and before the white whale could move, he suddenly let go of its nose and welcomed the free fall of gravity.

The white whale turned its head towards Natsuki Subaru who was performing a mass suicide, and its body moved slightly, as if it wanted to chase but stopped because it was hesitant about something.

This guy is very smart.

If it watched Natsuki Subaru fall like this, its dominant position in the air supremacy would not be shaken, so it resisted the temptation and stopped chasing.

But Natsuki Subaru was well prepared.

"——I can die and return!"

He could scream loudly without restraint at high altitude, and after the severe pain shot through Natsuki Subaru's body like lightning, the white whale suddenly turned its head and opened its mouth wide to pounce on the falling Natsuki Subaru.

As the witch's lingering fragrance intensified, the monster was covered with disgust beyond its instincts.

Swimming with force is much faster than falling naturally.

This is common sense.

There is no one to rely on during free fall, so Natsuki Subaru has no way to avoid the impact of the white whale. If he is caught up before reaching the ground, he will directly face the bad ending.

However, Natsuki Subaru was not afraid at all. He fell to the ground laughing.

“——Rem!”

“Yes, Subaru!”

He was about to be swallowed by the white whale that was catching up - the huge whale opened its mouth wide and the fishy smell came again, but before he could make any move, the white whale was knocked away by an icicle flying out from the side, and its movements became stiff.

Natsuki Subaru also fell on the back of the earth dragon and left with Rem in a leisurely manner.

...Not necessarily.

The white whale quickly regrouped and slammed its head against the ground. A loud bang and dust rose from the exploded ground, and the earth shook under the force of the impact.

The impact was so powerful that the head was covered in blood, but the monster still chased after it recklessly.

With this desperate look, it no longer looks like the leisurely one it had just been flying in the sky. The way it swims has become chaotic, as if it is competing with Patrax at a speed faster than the wind.

However, only the spirit is overwhelmingly strong.

The white whale scraped the ground, its tail slapping the earth, and suddenly chased after him. Subaru Natsuki, who was running away, shouted after crossing paths with someone in front of him:
"——I leave it to you, Zun Zun!"

"I've been waiting for a long time!"

The white whale continued to swim forward, approaching rapidly, trying to eat Natsuki Subaru.

Suddenly, it discovered that the earth dragon that had just been running straight had avoided a certain existence with a clever turn, and when the white whale's single eye was focused on Natsuki Subaru's blocked vision, a certain stern figure was reflected -

He held high in his hand the violent sword of thunder that reached the sky. His handsome face was pale, but his eyes were bright red and captivating.

"——Must-kill! Cut it in two with one stroke, Ruyi Divine Sword!"

He shouted.

He pressed down hard with the Thunder Sword in his hand.

The white whale's only remaining right eye widened and it tried to dodge, but its huge body had no time to avoid it, and its powerful inertia pounced in the direction of Zun Zun.

"Roar----"

“Hold on for me ahhhh——”

Zun Zun shouted, and the violent Thunder Sword in his hand kept cutting the flesh and blood of the white whale. The powerful impact made his body lean back continuously, but the Thunder Sword in his hand did not retreat at all.

And under the interaction of forces.

The Thunder Sword split the white whale right in the center, completely splitting its huge body into two!
