Different from the stance for Kuzuryūsen, Bai Luo bent his body slightly forward, his left hand held out horizontally.
The Elucidator in his right hand was rested upon his left forearm.
"Dual Blades!"
Ripples appeared on the surface of the sea, and Bai Luo, who was about to fall into the ocean, vanished into thin air.
In the next instant, several afterimages appeared around Beisht.
These afterimages appeared to have no physical form. When Beisht attacked them with Hydro, it had no effect at all.
But when the afterimages' swords slashed at Beisht, they left behind real, solid damage.
What was more terrifying was that the damage caused by these afterimages all ignored her defenses, with every strike landing on her vital points.
Although a single slash wasn't very painful, and was even less damaging than Bai Luo's previous dazzling combo, the sheer number of attacks made up for it.
A full sixteen slashes, each dealing true damage—who could withstand that?
In fact, the Starburst Stream Bai Luo was using now was a modified version.
It wasn't that the original version of Starburst Stream didn't exist, but only after obtaining the exclusive equipment could his Elemental Burst be changed to that classic version of the Dual Blades skill.
However, both had their own pros and cons.
For example, the current non-exclusive version of Heavenly Flying Immortal had the advantage of providing invincibility and dealing true damage.
The exclusive equipment version of Starburst Stream, on the other hand, sacrificed true damage and invincibility in exchange for a momentary burst of power.
One could only say that each had its own merits.
Without a doubt, the head that Bai Luo used Starburst Stream (non-exclusive) on was still the rightmost one.
Within a second, all sixteen hits landed. Beisht's rightmost head finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell heavily into the water, not even having the strength to lift its head.
It could only let out helpless whimpers.
To have survived a full set of the Heavenly White Dragon Flash, one could only say that its health pool was thick enough.
If it had been Tartaglia without his Foul Legacy Transformation, he would have probably kicked the bucket already.
As the sixteen-hit combo ended, Bai Luo's figure slowly appeared on top of this head. He steadied himself with Beisht's single horn, the Elucidator in his hand, and completely ignored the threatening roars from the other three heads.
Looking at the dying head, Bai Luo knew that it was almost over.
The reason he had been focusing on a single head was that he wanted to bring its health down as quickly as possible.
This way... the execution threshold would be reached.
"Buzz—"
A pale golden light shot up into the sky, actually punching a large hole in the dark clouds that Beisht had gathered.
Beneath the clouds, Bai Luo was completely enveloped by the pillar of golden light.
"Roar—"
Beisht had long wanted to sacrifice one head to get rid of Bai Luo, but this light descending from the heavens forcibly halted her attack.
"This is..."
Under the effect of the pale golden light, Beisht's somewhat frantic emotions calmed down considerably.
But having returned to her senses, she began to tremble instead.
Was it because of this light?
Yes, but not entirely.
She could feel the threat from this light, but it was not enough to kill her completely.
However... this kind of light, pure to the extreme, was not an elemental energy that an ordinary person could master.
In her memory, only one type of existence could generate and wield this kind of light.
A demon god.
"Converge here, O river of light that guides the faeries!"
"Shine here, O claws of light that exterminate evil!"
"Bloom now! Faerie's Radiance!"
Amidst Beisht's roars, the halo of light enveloping her bloomed.
The head beneath Bai Luo's feet didn't even have time to let out a cry before it was completely consumed by the light.
She was a follower of Osial, after all, and was much more durable than the Ancient Geovishap.
This head was dead; there was no doubt about that.
But compared to the Ancient Geovishap, which had been turned to ash, her corpse was preserved.
If Beisht had the will to fight to the death before, after witnessing that light, her other three heads cowered.
Completely abandoning the head that had been killed, the remaining three heads retreated while letting out warning-like roars.
Bai Luo looked at his skills, which were still on cooldown, and didn't pursue them.
Switching back to Himura Kenshin, he sat on the severed head of Beisht, holding the Sakabatō.
The dark clouds had gradually dispersed, and the raging waves had calmed down.
One could even see the figures of sea fish and beasts in the surroundings.
They didn't dare to approach Bai Luo, only lingering far away, forming a strange empty zone around him.
Beisht had only lost one head and was not truly dead, so a situation like what happened after the death of the God of Salt, where everything was submerged in salt, did not occur.
But the oppressive aura from Beisht's head was very real.
It was not until half an hour later that the Alcor arrived.
Beidou stood on the dragon-headed prow, her previously loose hair tied up with a new hairpin. Her right arm was in a sling, and her left hand was wrapped in bandages from the forearm down, looking like a tragic sight.
But she still insisted on personally leading the team back to pick him up.
The Alcor was in bad shape. The waves created during Bai Luo's fight with Beisht had also affected them.
If not for the Vision holders on the ship working together, their ship might have been capsized by the waves.
After Beisht fled, the dark clouds naturally disappeared with her.
Beidou, as promised, came back.
However, considering that Bai Luo's opponent was the wife of the Overlord of the Vortex, Osial, Beidou did not dare to be careless. She only brought the Alcor, leaving the other two ships to wait in place.
"He... really killed that Beisht thing."
Looking at the giant sea serpent head in the ocean, even though it had lost its blue patterns as the main body's sustenance was cut off, its intimidating presence remained.
Even just looking at the massive body in the sea from the ship, the people on board felt their scalps tingle.
"It should be that he drove her back."
Beidou looked at the dark clouds receding in the distance and had a rough guess in her mind.
But to be able to force Beisht to retreat, this Himura Kenshin's strength was probably even greater than they had imagined.
Although they hadn't seen the process of his fight with Beisht, from the wounds on the giant sea beast, one could see how tragic its death had been.
Crisscrossing wounds, ligature marks left by something, and even its unblinking eyes were no longer as crystal clear as when they had first met, but were now turbid.
It seemed to have suffered some unimaginable damage.
The most terrifying thing was Himura Kenshin's condition.
In their imagination, after fighting such a giant beast, even if he wasn't on the verge of death, he should be as seriously injured as their captain, right?
But this red-haired ronin, holding his reverse-blade sword, besides having slightly damp trousers, didn't even have a single trace of battle on his clothes.
In other words, after cutting off one of Beisht's heads, he still had energy to spare.
That was a bit terrifying.
Thinking back to what he had said before, Beidou actually felt it was a bit of a pity.
"If I had known, I would have given him a few more Sunsettias and had him cut off all four heads."
