Stelle: "General Feixiao was really just late?"
Stelle: "Doesn't that mean that if she had been just one second later, Yanqing would have really ended up lying on the ground?"
Feixiao: "To me, one second is a very long time."
Feixiao: "It's plenty of time for me to rush here from far away."
March 7th: "True, General Feixiao's speed is ridiculously fast."
March 7th: "Just now, I didn't even see how General Feixiao appeared!"
Guinaifen: "I'm really curious about how strong General Feixiao is at her full power."
Furina de Fontaine: "But General Feixiao should try to avoid using her full strength as much as possible, right?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Otherwise, in the end, it will turn out exactly as Hoolay said."
Mualani: "Hoolay was indeed subdued, but… there seems to be no hope for General Feixiao's illness?"
Dan Heng: "The Moon Rage is caused by the inability to withstand the burst of power."
Dan Heng: "The Borisin can withstand it because their healing factor is much stronger than that of Foxians."
Dan Heng: "So, if one wants to cure General Feixiao's Moon Rage…"
Dan Heng: "It seems she must be given recovery abilities equal to those of a Borisin?"
Welt Yang: "No, the recovery ability of an ordinary Borisin is not enough."
Welt Yang: "Given General Feixiao's strength, perhaps only a recovery ability like Hoolay's could allow her to suppress the harm brought by the Moon Rage."
Stelle: "But Hoolay's insane recovery ability comes from the Crimson Moon heart inside his body!"
Stelle: "That's the power of Abundance. It can't be replicated, can it?"
March 7th: "Could we just simply dig it out and transplant it into General Feixiao?"
March 7th: "Um… that definitely wouldn't work."
March 7th: "After all, the heart is inside Hoolay's body. If he is unwilling, there's a huge probability that others won't be able to take it out."
Lumine: "So… is General Feixiao's illness still incurable?"
Lumine: "But at the end, didn't Mr. Jiaoqiu seem to have figured out a way?"
Xiangling: "The problem is, Mr. Jiaoqiu has already sacrificed himself…"
Xiangling: "Without him… who else could know this method?"
....
『 Everyone walked up to the frozen Hoolay.
[ What an impressive strike… so similar to when I was defeated by that woman all those years ago. ]
[ More than seven hundred years have passed. I thought I would have found a way to break it. ]
[ But in the end… my claws and fangs have grown dull. ]
[ You won, kid. ]
Hoolay looked toward Yanqing, his expression quite complex.
[ There is no need to struggle, Hoolay. ]
[ Back in the Shackling Prison, you will have plenty of time to be tortured by regret. ]
Feixiao looked at Hoolay coldly.
[ I have indeed lost, but this does not surprise me. ]
[ Yet you still showed your face, Feixiao. ] 』
『 ....』

Aventurine: "Oh? What does that mean?"
Aventurine: "Hoolay's words have a double meaning…"
Topaz: "He seems… to have known he would lose?"
Topaz: "Then what was his goal?"
Jiaoqiu: "His goal was Feixiao!"
March 7th: "Ah?"
March 7th: "He wanted to see General Feixiao that badly?"
Stelle: "Judging from Hoolay's current behavior, it really does seem like his goal was to see General Feixiao."
Stelle: "But what's the point of that?"
Yunli: "This vile wolf is full of wicked schemes!"
Yunli: "He must still be plotting some conspiracy!"
Yunli: "I suggest we just hack him to death directly to eliminate any future trouble!"
Lingsha: "Unfortunately, ordinary blades can hardly kill him."
Lingsha: "Otherwise, the former Sword Champion of the Luofu would have likely taken his life back then."
....
『 [ I have looked forward to this for so long. Our little hunting game has finally reached its climax... I told you before that I had a path prepared for you... ]
[ You've doomed yourselves...]
Hoolay struggled to stand up, and then, under the shocked gazes of the others, he tore open his own chest and pulled out his still-beating crimson heart!
Scalding blood splattered everywhere, and Hoolay's expression took on a hint of madness!
[ As I meet my demise, so shall the entire Xianzhou Luofu! ]
[ The Crimson Moon in my chest will cast its bloody light over this entire place! ]
[ I will drive all Foxians mad with fear… craving slaughter… endlessly! ]
[ What will you do now… Feixiao… ]
Hoolay threw the Crimson Moon high into the sky, and his body turned to ash!
The crimson blood-light illuminated the Skysplitter, and all the Foxians who witnessed this scene gradually began to feel lost!
A primal urge to slaughter welled up within them, seemingly guiding them to transform into another kind of creature! 』
『 ....』

Stelle: "Holy crap!!"
Stelle: "This works too?!"
Stelle: "Everything was supposed to be over!"
Stelle: "And yet Hoolay still had a trump card?"
March 7th: "Is he crazy?"
March 7th: "Isn't this just mutual destruction?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Hoolay's blood can transform Foxians into Borisin, which apparently relies on this Crimson Moon heart!"
Furina de Fontaine: "And now, Hoolay has directly stimulated this heart. Doesn't that mean?!"
Lumine: "If this heart—or rather, the Crimson Moon—is not suppressed…"
Lumine: "The Foxians on the entire Luofu might eventually fall into Moon Rage and become monsters that only know slaughter…"
Yukong: "If that happens, the Luofu will become a living purgatory!"
Yukong: "Hoolay… what a truly malicious scheme!"
Boothill: "Son of a nice lady!"
Boothill: "This is ten thousand times more troublesome than the situation just now!"
Topaz: "The Xianzhou Luofu isn't going to fall to this disaster, is it?"
Silver Wolf: "What are you thinking?"
Silver Wolf: "The three Generals on this Xianzhou aren't useless."
Silver Wolf: "With the three of them working together, can't they suppress a mere Crimson Moon?"
Hotaru: "I don't think calling this thing 'mere' is quite appropriate."
Hotaru: "After all, it's something passed down through generations of Borisin Warmunds. It won't be that easy to deal with."
Yanqing: "Damn it, we were set up!"
Yanqing: "It seems Hoolay knew all along that he couldn't escape!"
Yanqing: "So he had this intention from the very beginning."
Dan Heng: "No."
Dan Heng: "This is an open conspiracy!"
Dan Heng: "His target is still General Feixiao!"
Dan Heng: "This is a trap set for General Feixiao!"
Dan Heng: "The purpose is to force General Feixiao to step into the game!"
Himeko: "Hoolay went to such lengths to force General Feixiao into this…"
Himeko: "It seems… there are still secrets hidden within that high-hanging Crimson Moon!"
....
『 [ …What on earth is that?! ]
The crimson moon filled March 7th with panic.
[ This is the "heart" of the Borisin Warhead, a product of the plaguemark. ]
[ I'll leave the next part to you. ]
With determination on her face, Feixiao handed the weapon in her hand to Yanqing beside her.
Then, her power erupted, and she summoned her Flying Aureus, soaring into the sky!
[ General, I don't understand…? ]
Yanqing didn't comprehend Feixiao's meaning.
[ We cannot let the influence of this thing spread. I will do everything in my power to bring down this Crimson Moon. ]
[ Once the situation changes... Lieutenant Yanqing, you are to enforce the Cloud Knight's military rules. Understood? ]
Having said that, Feixiao immediately commanded her Flying Aureus to charge at the high-hanging Crimson Moon, and then swallowed it in one gulp!
Instantly, the sky cleared, the crimson blood-light vanished, and all the Foxians present regained their clarity.
However, Feixiao fell directly from mid-air, and the Flying Aureus disappeared as well. 』
『 ....』

Yanqing: "General Feixiao, you actually?!"
Yunli: "Damn it, Hoolay's goal was to drag General Feixiao down with him!"
Yunli: "THIS CURSED BEAST!!"
March 7th: "General Feixiao actually swallowed that Crimson Moon?!"
March 7th: "But that's an Abomination of Abundance!"
March 7th: "Is there still hope for General Feixiao?"
Stelle: "Wait, that thing wasn't swallowed by General Feixiao herself, but by a majestic giant fox?"
Stelle: "What was that?"
Jiaoqiu: "That is the General's spirit, Flying Aureus."
Qingque: "Wow! Is that General Feixiao's spirit?"
Qingque: "THAT IS SO COOL!!"
Paimon: "Uh… what exactly is a spirit?"
Stelle: "Do you remember the scene where General Jing Yuan took action during the Penacony storyline?"
Stelle: "The giant divine figure behind him is a spirit."
Stelle: "I thought General Feixiao's spirit would be similar to General Jing Yuan's."
Stelle: "I didn't expect it to be so different!"
Stelle: "But seriously, IT'S SO COOL!!"
Stelle: "I feel like it's even cooler than the Lightning-Lord."
March 7th: "Maybe the Lightning-Lord looks a bit too serious?"
March 7th: "But General Feixiao's Flying Aureus spirit looks extremely imposing."
Silver Wolf: "It gives off a wolf-like, fox-like feeling."
Lumine: "In other words, is this the Emanator power bestowed upon General Feixiao by the Aeon of Hunt?"
Dan Heng: "Indeed, the spirit is a symbol of the Arbiter-Generals."
Robin: "Even the power of an Emanator has been unleashed. This shows that General Feixiao is truly playing for keeps this time."
Robin: "And this was merely to suppress a single heart…"
Sunday: "The essence of this heart may not be inferior to the status of an Emanator."
Fu Xuan: "The spirit is connected as one with General Feixiao. The spirit swallowing the Crimson Moon is equivalent to General Feixiao swallowing it."
Fu Xuan: "And such a scene has never occurred in the history of the Xianzhou Alliance."
Qingque: "Which means, after swallowing the Crimson Moon, General Feixiao might go completely wild?!"
Fu Xuan: "It's hard to say, but the probability is high."
Fu Xuan: "That's why General Feixiao entrusted Yanqing and the others to back her up in the end."
Jiaoqiu: "Success or failure hinges on this. If Feixiao can master this heart… then her Moon Rage will naturally be cured!"
Jiaoqiu: "And I believe Feixiao will definitely succeed!"
Jiaoqiu: "Because she is Feixiao!"
Feixiao: "Jiaoqiu, this was actually your true goal all along, wasn't it?"
....
『 After Feixiao landed, her expression changed drastically!
Her eyes turned crimson, and she locked her murderous gaze directly onto Yanqing and the other two!
[ Die, borisin! ]
Feixiao drew her weapon and pointed it at Yanqing and the others.
[ Wh—What!? We clearly don't have wolf ears! ]
Hearing this, Yunli's heart skipped a beat!
[ I will not allow any of you... to leave the Skysplitter! ]
Feixiao's tone at this moment was extremely cold.
[ Does she view all of us as enemies? ]
Yunli was somewhat dazed.
[ Hoolay just wanted to take down the general, even at the cost of his own life! Snap out of it, General!] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Yunli: "We're doomed!!"
Yunli: "General Feixiao has really lost control!"
Yunli: "Never mind that we just finished fighting Hoolay and everyone is injured. Even if we weren't, we still couldn't beat General Feixiao!"
March 7th: "No way!"
March 7th: "Are the three of us going to die at the hands of General Feixiao instead of Hoolay?!"
March 7th: "Is this how this lady is going to die with her eyes wide open?!"
Stelle: "In the end, it still turned into fighting an Emanator…"
Stelle: "But this Emanator is of the Hunt, from our own faction. I really didn't expect that."
Dan Heng: "It seems the two of us have not boarded the Skysplitter at this moment."
Dan Heng: "This battle still belongs to the three of them."
Dan Heng: "Sigh… the situation is not optimistic."
Furina de Fontaine: "I don't even know what to say anymore…"
Furina de Fontaine: "Why do things always develop in a worse direction?!"
Silver Wolf: "This is the weight of the Astral Express!"
Silver Wolf: "Wherever you go, there will definitely be high-level showdowns!"
Hotaru: "Silver Wolf, stop gloating!"
Silver Wolf: "How am I gloating?"
Silver Wolf: "I'm just telling the truth."
Hanabi: "Hee-hee, this kind of drama where allies fight each other is a bit cliché, but it's barely better than what we just saw~"
Hanabi: "I hope they turn up the heat and put on an even more exciting performance!"
....
『 [ Ugh! Just when I thought we'd get a minute to catch our breath! What do we do? Do we fight, or run? ]
March 7th looked at the hostile Feixiao and hurriedly asked.
[ At this point, is running even an option? ]
Having said that, Yanqing immediately assumed a combat stance!
And at this moment, Feixiao also charged forward!
[ Stop trying to resist me! ]
Feixiao's speed was astonishing. Right from the start, she displayed terrifying strength.
The three of them couldn't keep up with her speed at all. With just one clash, they were all swept away!
[ We can't let her get away! ]
Looking at Feixiao's figure as she prepared to depart, Yunli struggled to stand up.
[ ...But do we stand any chance at all? ]
March 7th complained, but then saw Yunli give her a look.
Understanding the signal, March 7th switched to her bow and arrow, firing an arrow condensed from Six-Phased Ice fiercely toward Feixiao's position, attempting to hinder her departure.
Meanwhile, Yunli took advantage of this moment to block Feixiao directly, using all her strength to hold her back!
[ She said, "I'll leave the next part to you." ]
[ She put her faith in us! ]
Yunli only managed to block Feixiao for a brief moment before being kicked away violently.
At this time, Yanqing picked up the spear-blade Feixiao had given him earlier and threw it without hesitation! 』
『 ....』

Silver Wolf: "Brutal… so brutal."
Silver Wolf: "It's a complete beatdown."
Silver Wolf: "Even more brutal than the fight against Hoolay just now."
Dan Heng: "The gap in strength between the three of them and General Feixiao is even larger than the gap between them and Hoolay…"
Dan Heng: "And this… is even the result of General Feixiao trying her best to control herself and holding back."
Moze: "Indeed, with the General's strength, if she were to fully erupt, the Skysplitter would be destroyed in an instant."
Moze: "This also means that once the General completely loses control, the situation will truly become irreversible."
Moze: "In other words… now is the most likely time to stop her…"
Furina de Fontaine: "The way to stop General Feixiao… is to… kill her?"
Feixiao: "Yes, kill me before I completely fall into madness!"
Feixiao: "That will put an end to this crisis!"
Yanqing: "No, General!"
Yanqing: "I believe you will definitely wake up!"
