The killing blow

With a sharp crack, the Demonic Sword Real World let out a mournful cry. Crimson Moon withdrew the Real of the World, her heart heavy. This Demon Sword, which had once given even Zelretch a headache, was now covered in wounds. Had it paid such a price to barely buy two seconds of life?

She couldn't help but feel a little relieved when she respawned and found that she hadn't been camped at the respawn point by Zelretch.

But now, she would rather face Zelretch as her enemy.

Bai Mo also felt a strange sensation from the gravity around him, and the surrounding space rapidly distorted. Bai Mo's brows twitched slightly. At this moment, they had already escaped from the underground of Misaki. Looking around, Bai Mo immediately unleashed his strongest power of 500,000 horsepower, and the Asura Way spread out like a spider's web.

But this wasn't to deal with Crimson Moon, because at this moment, there were not only him and Crimson Moon in space, but also the citizens who had been brought from the Misaki. They had Pseudo Blood Ring implanted in their bodies and were brought into Daichi alive by Crimson Moon.

There were over 100,000 people behind Bai Mo. Bai Mo could only maximize the power of the Asura Way to keep these people alive. Otherwise, the space environment would have turned them all into ice fragments in just a few seconds.

Creating air and channeling it into their bodies, while simultaneously maintaining the internal air pressure with a formidable force of 500,000 horsepower—only through the Final Realm could so many people be saved.

Crimson Moon also seemed somewhat exhausted. Completing such a task in just two seconds was a challenge even for her. But now was not the time to relax; she felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on her heart.

The Bai Mo before her was like a giant beast bursting out of the deep sea, flying towards her. The Real of the World could no longer be maintained, and as for those ancestors, they were completely useless. It seemed that the only option at present was to take this unavoidable blow.

Crimson Moon gritted her teeth, her expression clearly showing unease as she watched Bai Mo rush towards her at lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Mo was already in front of Crimson Moon. She looked like a little girl sitting in a hospital, about to get a shot, with her eyes tightly closed.

That must have hurt a lot.

With a whoosh, Bai Mo seemed not to see Crimson Moon and walked right past her. Watching Bai Mo walk away, Crimson Moon's eyes showed a hint of incomprehension.

Why did he give up such a good opportunity?

Bai Mo's actions then provided his answer: the Asura Way, like a spider's web, protected all the humans behind Crimson Moon, thus saving all those who had been dragged into Crimson Moon's clutches.

There were simply too many people. Bai Mo had to use all his brainpower to keep everyone alive at the same time, putting all his thinking into this task.

Killing someone is easy, but saving someone is often very difficult.

Only after maintaining the Asura Way did Bai Mo finally breathe a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Crimson Moon, who was on the moon. The King of the Moon looked at Bai Mo with a complex expression. Then she slowly raised her hand.

"To do something like this during a battle is somewhat unexpected." As her voice rang out, the bright moonlight shone down, illuminating the bodies of those people, and then, one by one, Pseudo Blood Ring floated out from their bodies.

"Aren't you going to stop me, outsider?" Crimson Moon asked Bai Mo, who remained inactive. Bai Mo simply shook his head and replied:

"These things will only continue to harm them. I was struggling to remove them before, but now it seems I should thank you."

The Pseudo Blood Ring was created by Roa based on the Principle Blood Ring. Only Crimson Moon, as the Root of the Dead Apostle, could remove it without harming those people.

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Crimson Moon paused, then sighed softly.

"What an incurable man. As royalty, once the fighting begins, it won't end until one side falls... Oh well, at least I was the one who got spared." She waved her hand, and the blood rings floated to her side.

Then she raised her hand, and in the vacuum of space, a gentle breeze blew from the moon, and beams of azure light fell upon those people. Bai Mo felt that the life force in these people was actually being restored.

The life force that Roa had burned away was quickly replenished, something he had never expected.

"What do you mean by this?" Bai Mo asked Crimson Moon. If taking out the blood ring was to break through his Magnetic Field Power, then this action would be completely meaningless.

"It's nothing. As my opponent, I won't allow you to suffer any damage before our final battle. After all, you seem a bit obsessive. If you expend your life force to save these people, preventing you from exerting your full strength, it would be an insult to me."

The King of the Moon turned around and flew away with the ancestors frozen into icicles.

"Leave now. In the name of Brunestud, I assure you that there will be no obstacles on your journey back. The gates to the moon will be open for you. Once you have settled these matters, we can have a final battle."

The two of them tacitly refrained from making a move, walking through space like passersby.

The Moon – The Millennium Castle appeared on the lunar surface at some unknown time.

As Crimson Moon descended, she let out a soft sigh.

That was close. If he had ignored the lives of those humans, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed. Looking at the Pseudo Blood Ring floating around her, Crimson Moon summoned the frozen Dead Apostle.

White Wing Duke was the first to wake up. Looking around, he had a pretty good idea of what had just happened.

"My lord, we are afraid we will be unable to participate in the upcoming battles. Please allow us to do what we can. It would be our honor to serve you." Not only him, but all the ancestors knelt on one knee in unison.

Crimson Moon shook her head, and then those Pseudo Blood Ring disappeared into the surface of the moon like drops of water falling into the Dahai. As the King of the Moon, she had absolute control over the moon.

"Your service is unnecessary. Go and prepare the welcoming ceremony for our upcoming guests."

"What?!"

Faced with this ambiguous order, everyone found it hard to accept. Crimson Moon glanced at them coldly and said, "What? Although we are opponents, he was the first guest on the moon before our battle."

Or is there something you're unhappy about?

Everyone realized their offense. Although they found it hard to accept having to perform a welcoming ceremony for Bai Mo, who had offended their master, Crimson Moon's order was absolute.

On Earth, Bai Mo has led everyone back to Misaki. At this time, the Church has mobilized all its resources to erase these people's memories and release news that the water in Misaki has been tainted with hallucinogens.

This will be a huge undertaking, and everyone is extremely busy.

Looking up at the Mochizuki, Bai Mo saw that a crystal-like barrier had formed on its exterior. He could sense the power within it, but he did not stop it. If he did, the moon's mutated magnetic field would directly affect the Earth's magnetic field, causing widespread destruction.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she respected Bai Mo. The barrier was unnecessary, but she created it anyway, so Bai Mo respected her in return, and killed her after she achieved that final breakthrough.

"As expected, Crimson Moon is about to break through the Magnetic Field Power. How far will such an incredible life form like her reach?" Bai Mo sat on the rooftop, looking at the Mingyue in the sky.

"I wonder whose Primordial Spirit she possesses, kid. That guy's power is definitely not small. As a living being, she's far ahead of humans. Are you regretting it a little? Perhaps that was your best chance to kill her." Bai Wunan's voice echoed in Bai Mo's mind.

"I won't do anything I'll regret. Letting these people die would be the real thing I'll regret."

"Heh, that's more like it. That's why Shi Tianwu chose you. But before you go fight that woman, deal with another one first~" Bai Wunan disappeared with a mocking laugh.

"Found you." Arcueid's voice came from behind him. She had appeared beside him at some point and sat down next to Bai Mo.

Seeing Arcueid still looking quite energetic, Bai Mo frowned slightly, because it seemed like he was forcing himself to stay energetic.

"Bai Mo, what are you doing here? Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing serious. Ciel said she's going to the Church to look up information about Crimson Moon. I'm waiting for her here." But before she could finish speaking, Arcueid grabbed Bai Mo's hand and said:

"Then it's nothing! I want to go see a movie. My time last night was ruined, and I want to make up for it now!" Without giving Bai Mo a chance to explain, the golden cat grabbed Bai Mo's arm and left.

A while later, Ciel returned with a pile of documents, looked at the empty rooftop, pressed his head and let out a deep sigh.
