Chapter 88

After touching the girl's purple hair one last time, Bai Ge handed her to Cecilia and walked toward the distance.

"You, where are you going?"

"Needless to say, being beaten like this without a word isn't my style. We have an old saying in Shenzhou: 'A drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain of gratitude, and a debt of an arrow should be repaid by killing the whole family!' While I can still move for a while, of course I have to find that bastard Otto and have a good chat."

After getting the coordinates of Schicksal from Siegfried, Bai Ge immediately called Bella over.

"Roar roar roar——!"

The white magic dragon carried her master into the sky and flew toward the Schicksal floating island at the speed of sound.

Leaving Cecilia, Siegfried, Theresa, and a group of Schicksal Valkyries behind.

Recalling Bai Ge's inquiry just now, Cecilia controlled the urge to cry. Whether successful or failed, she would express her most sincere gratitude to Bai Ge.

"We should also decide on our next path."

Cecilia looked at the direction Bai Ge left, clenched the Black Orchid White Flower in her hand, and muttered to herself.

In the sky.

"It seems there really isn't anything left. Even when I'm this close, they didn't do anything." Riding Bella, Bai Ge soon flew near Schicksal's floating island.

He didn't encounter any interception along the way, smooth to an abnormal degree, but thinking about it, he understood—it was probably not that they didn't want to intercept, but that they really couldn't.

To kill Bai Ge, Otto had already used up all of Schicksal's missiles; there really wasn't any left.

"Roar roar roar roar——!"

Seeing that bastard's base right before her eyes, Bella couldn't wait to let out a hateful dragon roar.

She couldn't wait to go on a rampage and kill that golden-haired bastard who hurt her master a thousand times.

However.

"Bella, you go back too."

"Master?"

The white magic dragon turned back into the form of a silver-haired girl. Bella looked at Bai Ge in confusion, as if she didn't understand his order.

"Not just Sirin, as my companion Honkai beast, Bella, you are also my family, so you must also live well and freely, you know?" Raising his hand to touch Bella's cheek, Bai Ge said gently.

Benares, who possessed a pseudo-core and a human body, had changed from a Honkai beast into a pseudo-Herrscher.

But she could still go further.

From a pseudo-Herrscher to a real human.

As the master who gave her life, power, thought, and existence, Bai Ge had never regarded Bella as his servant, but as family worthy of his protection.

"No, don't, Bella only wants to be with you forever, forever follow your will!" Bella panicked immediately. For the first time since her birth, she refused Bai Ge's will.

"Thank you, Bella, but... this is my selfishness. I hope the people I love have a beautiful future. Alright, don't make that expression."

"But, protecting you is the meaning of my birth, and I don't want to see you hurt anymore, let alone... die." Bella lowered her head and clenched her small hands.

"Then, how about this, Bella. I order you to live freely, live until the moment we meet again in the future. Your master will not die, really, I never lie."

Bai Ge raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Bella's eyes, coaxing this beautiful little dragon girl nicely, while calculating the time until the Third Eruption in his heart.

"About 15 years? Hmm, I will come back then."

"Master, is this true?"

"Of course, we have an agreement. Convey this to Sirin and the others as well. Before that, you protect everyone for me, and then... fly freely to your heart's content."

"... Yes, Master, Bella will wait for you to return. Whether it's 15 years or longer, Bella will wait forever and ever for the day you return!"

Having made the promise to meet again, Bella agreed to Bai Ge.

The magic dragon spread her wings and flew toward the distant horizon.

The golden sunset glow fell on her dragon body, looking so beautiful.

Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the remaining two hours or so of the "Battle Continuation EX" duration and turned his gaze back to Schicksal's floating island.

"Alright, Otto Apocalypse, now accept the revenge from a Herrscher."

Countless portals appeared behind Bai Ge.

A large number of Honkai beasts surged out from them, and soon they formed a terrifying Honkai army of nearly ten thousand, almost entirely composed of Templar-class Honkai beasts.

Boom——!

The Authority of the Herrscher of Flame was activated. A strike comparable to the unsheathing of Shamash landed on Schicksal's shield, instantly burning and destroying it.

Bai Ge said coldly.

"All forces, attack!!"
