Bai Ming had never been as desperate as she was now to unleash her full special effects.
She could feel steam rising from every inch of her body.
This wasn't a sensation born from psychological change.
It was a genuine, physical experience of the Valkyrie armor, [Crimson Knight: Eclipse], operating at its maximum capacity.
It felt like every inch of her skin was burning.
Scorching hot, yet not unbearable.
Perhaps it was just as the old description said:
It is the fury of heaven, the twilight of the gods;
It once incinerated the stars,scorched all phenomena.
Sooner or later,all things will turn to ashes beneath its feet.
And every speck of ash whispers its name.
Crimson Knight!
The Doomsday Beast was visibly shaken by Bai Ming's fierce counterattack.
It simply could not comprehend how this human before it could unleash such powerful, and completely different, offensive capabilities compared to before.
However It wasn't about to feel fear.
It embodies the will of destruction, the lament of ten thousand bones from the "War Forge"!
How could it halt its roar of annihilation over something like this!
"ROAR!!"
The Doomsday Beast roared fiercely and ripped its massive claw, which had just been smashed into the platform deck by Bai Ming's baseball bat, free.
Countless spatial fragments shimmered in the air above the platform, mingling with the echoing red warning signals from the station signs resonating through the starry expanse.
Yet, despite its imposing presence, it probably could not guess what was going through Bai Ming's mind right now.
OTK!
One Turn Kill!
To be precise, one uninterrupted combo.
Betting on the pride of an 88-level Captain!
Here I go!
This time, without waiting for the Doomsday Beast to attack, Bai Ming charged towards it proactively.
Naturally, the Doomsday Beast would not just stand there waiting.
As Bai Ming rushed forward, it swung its massive claw again!
But this time, it wasn't a simple swing!
A pale blue light gathered on the Doomsday Beast's giant claw.
It was some kind of substance, looking immensely powerful!
Of course.
Bai Ming had no intention of letting herself get hit so easily.
Utilizing the traits of [Guren Flash],
Bai Ming first retreated a significant distance, then charged towards the Doomsday Beast's claw with unimaginable speed!
"Take this!"
This was [Charge: Meteoric Assault]!
In the game, pressing attack immediately after [Guren Flash] activates would execute a heavy strike.
And now, Bai Ming was making it a reality!
It was the burning will of Murata Himeko!
Boom!
The baseball bat slammed down onto the Doomsday Beast's massive claw, the sound reverberating across the entire platform.
But this was only the beginning!
With a spin, Bai Ming executed another identical cross-shaped slash!
It was a fierce and powerful strike, actually managing to force the Doomsday Beast's claw back.
And simultaneously,bA red exclamation mark, visible only to Bai Ming, appeared before her eyes!
"Danger"
"You have entered Overload state!"
This sounded like it should be tormenting words.
After all, 'overload' didn't sound like a good thing!
But this was precisely the state Bai Ming wanted.
Because just as new life follows fire, overload was, for the [Crimson Knight: Eclipse], a conviction that must be cherished!
Whoosh!
Flames erupted on the baseball bat, and the temperature rose even further.
This shouldn't have been possible, but Bai Ming wasn't surprised at all!
Because she knew.
This was the ultimate skill of [Crimson Knight: Eclipse]—[Annihilating Flames]!
A wave of flame swept across the Doomsday Beast's giant claw, engulfing it entirely in a blazing inferno!
The Doomsday Beast tried to counterattack but found it impossible.
Because It was severed.
Yes.
The flames directly severed the connection between the Doomsday Beast's massive claw and its main body.
The weapon that had just caused so much destruction now plummeted towards the ground.
Thud!
The platform trembled violently once more.
March 7th quickly grabbed onto the nearest stable object.
And Himeko simply smiled.
"See. I told you Bai Ming would be fine."
"What exactly is that?" March 7th stared at the scene before her, utterly bewildered.
"I don't know either," Himeko replied bluntly.
"Perhaps it's a power within her, or something is burning deep within her to protect something she loves."
"Eh? Himeko, how do you know so much about this?"
"Guessed."
Himeko watched the scene intently, but her heart felt something else.
Had she ever fought like Bai Ming before?
Why would she dream such a thing?
"Guessed…"
Hearing this, March 7th, almost as if compelled, took a few steps forward.
She didn't believe Himeko's 'guess' for a second.
She must just not be observing closely enough.
But what could it possibly be?
On the other side.
Bai Ming's assault did not stop there.
[Charge: Meteoric Assault] and [Annihilating Flames] complemented each other.
The former could put [Crimson Knight: Eclipse] into an Overload state, increasing damage dealt while applying additional debuffs.
While [Annihilating Flames] could clear this Overload state.
This meant that by properly managing the use of [Charge: Meteoric Assault] and [Annihilating Flames], one could deal even higher damage while avoiding the negative effects of Overload!
Of course.
For someone new to using [Crimson Knight: Eclipse], this wasn't exactly simple.
But Bai Ming had long since memorized this sequence inside and out.
It couldn't possibly trouble her!
Defeat it? It would only take one round!
Flames danced across the platform, a testament to her blazing combat style!
Using Guren Flash to launch a fury of attacks on Doomsday Beast's form.
Soon, the Doomsday Beast's other massive claw also lost connection to its main body.
Thud!
It crashed onto the platform with a tremendous sound.
An impossible sound to ignore.
In the Master Control Zone, Asta came to the window and saw Bai Ming in battle.
Although Arlan had already told her.
Bai Ming's combat power was completely unlike what her appearance suggested.
But actually seeing her handle the Doomsday Beast single-handedly, Asta felt somewhat astonished.
This was practically on par with Himeko's level of combat power, wasn't it?
She said she was just a temporary cleaner, didn't she?
Then the Astral Express might not necessarily need someone like her.
If she could be persuaded to stay at the space station.
The safety coefficient would definitely increase significantly!
And that way She'd have someone to eat cake with.
Eh?
Why was she thinking such things?
Asta suddenly felt a twinge of unease.
Meanwhile.
The Doomsday Beast's defeat was inevitable.
Both its claws had been severed by that baseball bat and lay on the platform.
Its body's antimatter engine was on the verge of shattering.
It realized it had underestimated this grey-haired girl.
But it was already too late.
However, the Doomsday Beast was not a creature known for its chivalry.
If it couldn't kill her. Then it would drag a few more down with it!
A dazzling white light of destruction began gathering in the Doomsday Beast's mouth, then shot towards a somewhat dazed March 7th on the platform
