Chapter 1178: Chapter 1164: The Asura Race Appears!
Alfred furrowed his brow even tighter.
At this moment.
Suddenly, the yacht shook as if something huge was emerging from the water.
A dark shadow gradually expanded.
Alfred’s pupils shrank as he leaped up in an instant; Tony wasn’t slow either, transforming into a beam of white light, dissolving in place, then rapidly reappearing elsewhere.
But Baiyu.
He had already reached the shore.
"Buzz!"
A piercing screech sounded.
This noise resonated directly in their minds, transmitted through spirituality, carrying unparalleled lethality.
Baiyu felt as if his mind had been struck heavily.
Immediately after.
He saw what was beneath the water’s surface.
It was a gigantic Deep Sea Demon Whale!
Once, on the Blue Star, Baiyu had seen a Deep Sea Demon Whale, roughly the size of the Legendary Ship.
But this one was more than ten times the size of that Deep Sea Demon Whale on the Blue Star!
Just exposing half of its head made it seem like an entire landmass was rising from the river surface.
The little yacht was effortlessly swallowed into its belly.
It was clad in Iron Armor, shimmering brightly.
Countless streams of water ran down its body.
"I think this is truly an Iron Armor Shell..." Tony said apologetically, smiling with a shrug.
Alfred said nothing; he was about to pursue the demon whale.
As a result.
A black light flew out from the whale’s mouth.
"Previously, Misar told me that with Alfred’s personality, he would certainly take matters into his own hands and personally see things through, which I didn’t believe.
But now.
Unexpectedly, Misar was right."
The figure soared into the sky, hovering above the Third Bridge.
His skin was bright red, with a total of six arms and four eyes. He wore no clothes on his upper body, revealing the white bones embedded in his muscles.
Those bones seemed to be from within his own body but pierced through the skin to grow outside, forming a layer of bone armor.
"Asura Race?"
For the first time, Alfred’s eyes held a grave look.
"Asura Race, Flame Stone, at your service, Lord Alfred. You must know, it’s quite difficult to infiltrate Abaida with your Church’s blockade.
I had to struggle a lot to get in.
Unexpectedly.
I met such a renowned figure like you so quickly.
Though I previously practiced in the Asura Star System and didn’t participate in the war with the Galaxy Imperial, your esteemed name, Lord Alfred, is renowned on the planet where I dwell.
The Blade Without Edge, the armored warrior, the undefeated one.
The Asura race practically sees you as invincible.
But you know.
We, the Asura race, love war, love destruction, and love bringing pain and disaster to other beings.
So.
Lord Alfred, tonight you must stop me, or else all the people in the Abai Bridge District will lose their lives due to your incompetence!"
As soon as he spoke.
Flame Stone raised the scythe with both hands while the other four arms formed a strange hand seal.
Boom!
At this moment, the tranquil river surface suddenly burst into flames.
Flame Stone’s body slightly hunched, his face showing a bloody, cruel smile: "Let the battle begin."
Baiyu only felt Flame Stone transform into a flame and rush out.
Alfred stood still, closed his eyes, lifted his right hand, extended his left, and gently drew a stroke.
Crack!
The space within ten meters around him was filled with dense cracks; the area around him looked like the inside of a shattered glass ball.
Centered on Alfred, the surroundings seemed to be his domain.
And Flame Stone, who intruded into the domain, was instantly sliced with several blood-soaked wounds on his body, and those wounds continued to grow without any sign of shrinking.
"Impressive, a master of the blade, truly the most adept in combat."
Flame Stone transformed into a flame again, darting around chaotically in the space, seemingly trying to find a breakthrough point against Alfred.
The two were in a stalemate for a while.
However, at this moment.
Alfred’s voice suddenly echoed in Baiyu’s mind: "He’s not my match. This Asura race’s goal is to stall me, allowing that Deep Sea Demon Whale time to relocate. With an Asura race member guarding, something important must be inside the whale."
Baiyu immediately understood what he meant.
Though Flame Stone’s tone was arrogant, the real purpose was to buy time, and even Alfred couldn’t quickly resolve a strategic war Asura race elite warrior whose sole aim is to delay time and escape.
Thus.
Baiyu needed to stop the whale, preventing it from leaving.
But wouldn’t it be better for Tony to handle this? After all, this man dares to wear such an outrageous hairstyle, along with Alfred’s lack of concern over his provocations, all indicating that Tony and Alfred are likely on the same level.
Baiyu looked along the shore.
He found Tony standing on the shore with his hands in his pockets, motionless, like a stone statue, letting the wind mess up his hairstyle.
Something is wrong!
He looked closely.
Only to discover a woman with pure white skin in the water, lying like a corpse beneath the surface, staring with open eyes, locking gazes with Tony.
Both showed no spiritual fluctuation, as if they were corpses, lifeless objects.
However.
Baiyu’s spiritual intuition told him that approaching rashly would provoke danger, enough to threaten his safety.
This was another confrontation!
Though it was unclear where their battlefield lay, clearly any life form approaching the two would be shredded by the invisible power from their clash.
"So, now both sides are in a stalemate, and the key to victory lies with me?"
Baiyu found the situation a bit absurd.
He was the weakest among the three, yet often, the scales just needed the last straw to tip.
He focused his gaze, no longer hesitating, and quickly approached the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
The eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale were also a bright red, seemingly the result of some experiment by Count Misar, as it opened its mouth, revealing a passage inside.
Inside the Deep Sea Demon Whale, there was actually a passageway leading deep inside.
Clearly.
The inside of this Deep Sea Demon Whale had been transformed into a secret, human-occupiable space!
"You must be in pain, right?"
Baiyu touched its massive forehead, hesitated no longer, and leaped into the open mouth of the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
Plop.
After a sloping descent, Baiyu landed steadily and found that this passage inside the Deep Sea Demon Whale was much longer than expected, with lamps on both sides providing light.
"Aside from being somewhat damp, this is indeed an excellent secret place, who would guess there’s someone living inside a Deep Sea Demon Whale’s belly?"
Baiyu continued onward.
Soon.
He arrived at a vast plaza.
