Core meltdown

Bai Mo moved with incredible speed. He formed a sword-finger gesture, causing two streams of air to converge, rub against each other, and a blinding Vacuum Sword Blade shot out— the Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword. This move was extremely fast and was specifically designed for long-range attacks.

The sword's edge swept past, seemingly striking Albion's body, but it did not cause any damage.

A chill crept up Bai Mo's scalp. The next moment, a bright blue light appeared, as dazzling as the aurora borealis in the night sky. With a splatter, blood spurted from the back of Bai Mo's neck.

Where did that thing go?

Ritsuka and the others watching the battle were terrified when they saw this scene. Only then did they realize that what they had hit was just an afterimage. The speed of the Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword was no match for the Dragon of the Horizon.

Dodge the sword's edge, accelerate instantly, and the claws sever the skull...

Once the aurora dissipated, everyone regained a sense of the battle. On the battlefield, Bai Mo was holding half of Koyanskaya in his hand, her head intact. Albion, on the other hand, had a cut on his hand.

"Creating a sharp blade on the back of one's own neck the instant the opponent attacks is quite effective against a speed-type opponent like Albion. As expected of Mr. Bai Mo, he is truly a veteran of countless battles."

"This Albion will probably attack everything in its sight right now. After all, it just woke up and found its territory being invaded, so it's bound to be furious."

Although Koyanskaya only had her upper body left, she still put on an encouraging look, while Bai Mo's eyes showed a solemn expression.

The original Melusine was already known for her speed, but now that she has returned to Albion's body, not only has her overall strength reached a new level, but her speed has also reached an unbelievable level.

Moreover, this thing seemed to require no deceleration to turn, and Bai Mo was curious about the underlying principle of Albion's acceleration.

"It seems your investment target is planning to devour you whole, Koyanskaya. A shrewd businesswoman like you should have a backup plan."

Bai Mo activated Cellular Regeneration to reconstruct Koyanskaya's half-body. Although he knew she was a Beast larva, they had cooperated before, so Bai Mo decided to lend a hand if he could.

As for this guy's purpose, don't be ridiculous. Bai Mo, who had fought with Melusine, knew very well how strong that white-haired loli was. To target her and try to absorb her, Bai Mo only thought that Koyanskaya must have drunk too much Russia fire liquor.

"Yes, so I'm going to use [Independent Manifestation] to escape now. After all, it'll be too late if a fight breaks out later. Thank you for saving my life. I'll give you a satisfactory reward later."

"Save your breath. Now that we know you're a Beast larva, we're not letting you run around. Go report to Chaldea later."

Bai Mo said irritably, and the next moment Albion rushed over with lightning speed. Seeing this, Bai Mo threw Koyanskaya aside like a baseball player, and then closed his eyes. The opponent's speed was fast enough to interfere with vision, so his senses were more reliable at this moment.

With a single step, a mountain of blades rose instantly from the Daichi. The second cycle of the Darkness Asura Way — the Hell Samsara Sword.

With a series of sharp cracks, Albion's dragon scales were sliced open by the sword's edge, but Albion swiftly slashed and crashed straight into Bai Mo. Light surged in the silver-white dragon's hand, and a jet-black spear appeared in her grasp.

Well, it's not surprising that dragons use weapons.

Nine hundred and seventy thousand bolts of power surged through the spear, and a pale light, as if the air had been torn apart, appeared above the spear tip. This was Albion, a martial art that needed no name bestowed by Lancelot, but only the purest power.

Thump, thump. Albion's heart was pounding violently, and everyone present could hear the powerful pulse of his dragon heart, pulsating and releasing heat as if it were burning.

Bai Mo kept his eyes closed. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, like two gunmen in a Western duel, neither moving would mean certain death.

It moved! The dragon's figure vanished instantly; where could the attack be coming from?

The Hell Samsara Sword instantly emerged from the ground, attempting to find and hinder Albion's advance, but all the swords shattered in an instant. Looking around, all that could be seen were the afterimages of the Dragon of the Horizon, as if a pack of dragons were hunting.

They attacked Bai Mo from all directions, their attacks unpredictable, relying solely on pure speed and devoid of any skill; the power of the Dragon Kind was on full display.

"Tristan, Fairy Tristan, release the string! Artoria, is your Noble Phantasm in time?"

"Learn."

"Huh? Don't order me around!"

From the sidelines, Ritsuka calmly gave instructions, and the two of them simultaneously released their demon strings. These strings could not possibly stop Albion, but even if they were only severed for a moment, the signal they released would be enough to warn him.

She only regretted that Mash wasn't here, otherwise she would have had a better option.

A sharp gust of wind swept past, tearing the demonic strings apart instantly. Albion had arrived. Though its form was nowhere to be seen, everyone knew it had moved, crossing the broken strings like the wind blowing through a forest full of fallen leaves.

Meanwhile, Koyanskaya looked at Ritsuka with admiration in her eyes. Although the string was cut, she could still deduce Albion's attack by observing the trajectory of the broken string.

The location is to the side and rear!

As expected of Chaldea's most outstanding Master, even without power, he can still participate in this kind of battle.

The next instant, Albion's figure appeared to Bai Mo's side and behind, just as predicted, but everyone gasped in shock. Before he could even attack, the figure to his side and behind was still just an afterimage.

Almost instantly, Albion attacked from another direction.

"Was this dragon hiding something? Why is it only now revealing its speed limit?"

Albion could do this without any deceleration; it even accelerated while changing direction. The black spear plunged down, aiming to pierce the person before it through the head and heart.

But the Magnetic Field Power suddenly erupted, and a pair of large hands behind Bai Mo slammed together. A wave of energy appeared between the palms of the Oga War God, causing the gun in Albion's hand to bend.

It was the Limitless Tremor Zen. Like Albion, Bai Mo had activated the War God from the very beginning, but it remained hidden and integrated into his body. Albion was unaware of it. At this moment, it was attacking not one person, but four.

Jingang -Blade-Seizing Hand!

The Great Blade Martial God gripped the long spear, while the Tiandao's God-Severing Way surrounded him layer by layer.

A ray of light appeared beneath Bai Mo's feet; Caster had finally caught up.

Hold onto your hope!

Bai Mo, now draped in the black and white trench coat of the Orca Heaven and Earth Way, unleashed a punch that landed heavily on Albion's chest like a shooting star.

Orca Tyrant Fist!

With a soft thud, Albion's chest was pierced, and what splattered inside was not blood, but black pus, carrying a rotten stench.

Bai Mo also touched it. Inside the dragon's heart was Melusine, whose limbs had merged with Albion's flesh and blood. Her eyes were closed, her once beautiful face had rotted away, her eyelids had disappeared, and her eyes, though still beautiful and moving, were now incredibly dim.
