Chapter 75: Farewell, My Father (1)
In the current situation, moving forward is our only option.
The journey from the study to the banquet hall takes mere minutes, leaving scarce time for “Nightsaber” and “Psychic Dancer.”
While “Raven Reaper” belongs to the Night Watchers, “Nightsaber” and “Psychic Dancer” do not. Perhaps if “Mysterious Magic” were present, a discussion might have been possible.
Though “Raven Reaper” may not be villainous, he showed no mercy when attacking “Nightsaber” in their previous encounter.
If he could endanger Nightsaber’s life, what difference does his moral standing make?
“Raven Reaper” stood there, appearing completely at ease in a posture that suggested he might collapse at any moment.
Without hesitation, Bai Yan commanded “Nightsaber” to launch an attack!
“Deep Blue World!”
In the next instant, time stood still.
Bai Yan swiftly maneuvered “Nightsaber,” wielding the black greatsword to unleash continuous attacks against “Raven Reaper.”
“Something’s amiss, something’s not quite right.”
Bai Yan noticed an irregularity in the boss’s health bar displayed above.
Despite multiple consecutive attacks, “Raven Reaper” lost only minimal health! Though mortal, he wouldn’t fall to the greatsword instantly… Just as Bai Yan had experienced in his recent failure!
“As expected, this ambush couldn’t finish you.”
Having already sustained a hit, Bai Yan remained unsurprised, instead growing calmer.
He knew “Nightsaber’s” fate rested in his hands.
Therefore, he must bear responsibility for her.
Raven Reaper’s head bore a pale blue halo, which Bai Yan immediately identified upon inspection as a power-enhancing BUFF status.
At this moment, he was under the “Flow of the Heart, Flowing Water” state and the “Flowing Water, Serene as Still Water” skill effect.
“Flowing Water” represents one of the nine schools within the Flow of the Heart, similar to Holly’s “Heavenly Martial Arts.”
It manifests as an individual ritual mimicking the concept of “flowing continuously without stagnation.”
How can a sword pierce water?
Bai Yan realized that the minimal damage inflicted earlier had relied on Mu Ling’s “Crime Hunting Blood.”
The brief moment of suspended time quickly elapsed.
Three and a half seconds proved insufficient.
“Raven Reaper” swiftly adopted a new stance with entirely different movements. His Flow of the Heart style shifted to “Flow of the Heart: Swift Wind,” his status changing to “Swift Wind: Velocity Surge.”
The pixelated figure vanished from the screen!
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
White shadows repeatedly flashed beside “Nightsaber” as Bai Yan attempted evasive maneuvers, but found no room to operate.
After five rapid strikes, “Nightsaber’s” pixelated character knelt on the ground, stars circling her head.
Dazed!
Bai Yan’s brow furrowed with concern as Nightsaber lost consciousness. She had likely sustained a head injury.
“Raven Reaper” returned to his original position, brandishing a black umbrella toward “Nightsaber.”
This black umbrella served as his weapon.
Thanks to the Blood of Darkness, “Nightsaber’s” health gradually recovered, but lacking resilience or similar abilities, she remained dazed.
“As anticipated, a one-on-one confrontation offered little chance of success,” Bai Yan sighed.
Were it not for the absolute might of the Three Powers of the Demon Hunt Agency, this city would have long since fractured into chaos under various heretical cults, “Pastor,” and “Queen of the Scarlet Moon”!
“However…”
“She will undoubtedly surpass you in time.”
This girl could become the Babel Tower’s sharpest blade!
He believed this without doubt.
After Bai Yan fell silent, preparing to begin anew, “Raven Reaper” held his attack.
Instead, he spoke.
“Clack clack clack clack…” The subtitle sound echoed once more.
“……”
Bai Yan paused momentarily upon seeing the negotiation option.
“I see now. Everything makes perfect sense.”
After careful consideration, he chose correctly. Following a brief hesitation, “Raven Reaper” tossed forth a black book from his chest.
The next instant, he transformed into numerous white crows and scattered.
“Since dialogue proved effective, force wasn’t necessary… Actually, I could have handled this opponent by utilizing all available resources both in and out of the field…”
Bai Yan spoke truthfully—he still possessed several tactical cards, combined with his and Alan’s external support, plus “Psychic Dancer” and “Nightsaber”… Through careful preparation and cunning strategy, even the formidable “Raven Reaper” could be overcome.
Naturally, resolving the situation this way proved beneficial… though poor Nightsaber endured quite a beating.
Bai Yan avoids interfering outside the game and rarely employs tactical cards.
The former risks triggering chain reactions, while the disposable tactical cards are too precious to use without absolute necessity.
“Nightsaber” finally regained consciousness and retrieved the black book thrown by her opponent.
Bai Yan examined its description and immediately understood.
Game hint: “Study room discovered, important item acquired, mission updated.”
“New mission: Augustus Road, Escape from the Augustus family.”
“New mission, farewell my father: Defeat Black Star Faction’s senior disciple number one!” (Optional)
At last, the complete truth emerged.
