Robin: "General Feixiao's wish is that one day, no one will ever have to watch a falling star descend again."
Robin: "So, even if she must tap into the power of Moon Rage and overdraw her own life, she does not hesitate…"
Sunday: "To that end, she has also suppressed the murderous instincts that the Moon Rage brings upon her."
Sunday: "In other words, does human will ultimately triumph over any primal instinct?"
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "To understand that, you would need a great deal of time to conduct research."
Stelle: "Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Stelle: "Now that is the power of sheer conviction!"
Stelle: "The power of conviction is boundless!"
Stelle: "Say, if I believed with absolute certainty that I were an Aeon, would I actually ascend into one?"
Silver Wolf: "?"
Silver Wolf: "Are you out of your mind?"
Silver Wolf: "Did you accidentally get your head caught in a door?"
March 7th: "Whether you can ascend to an Aeon, I don't know."
March 7th: "But you'd have a very high chance of ascending to a delusional psychiatric patient!"
....
『 [ We are so similar, both monsters that were born for war and will die for war... You were right when you said that, Hoolay. ]
[ So, I shall pray to the heavens... even if THEY do not respond to me. I pray that the arrows of The Hunt will pierce the heart of every monster! ]
Feixiao's will at this moment was as sharp as a sword!
Then, amidst the boundless darkness, a brilliant shooting star suddenly streaked across the sky!
[ Do you see me... 'shooting star'? ]
Feixiao reached out her hand subconsciously, wanting to touch that dazzling shooting star, but the next instant, it hurtled forward, brushed past her, and crashed to the ground!
As the blazing light dispersed, the shooting star turned out to be an axe, embedded in the earth!
It was Feixiao's axe, her weapon for slaying enemies on the battlefield!
[ The Knights are sworn to protect the Xianzhou. ]
[ I will uphold this vow... until my very last day. ]
Feixiao stepped forward and pulled out the axe!
In an instant, a gaze from an infinitely distant dimension descended upon this place!
It was the gaze of the Aeon of Hunt, Lan!
At that moment, He sensed the resolve in Feixiao's heart and gave His response! 』

Stelle: "OH MY GOD!!!"
Stelle: "IT'S OVER!! IT'S SO OVER!!"
Stelle: "Hoolay is completely done for now!"
Paimon: "OH MY GOSH!!"
Paimon: "What happened?!"
Paimon: "That figure just now… looked so divine…!"
Lumine: "That was Lan, the Aeon of Hunt, right?"
Lumine: "Did General Feixiao finally receive a response from the Hunt?"
Lumine: "Is this axe the Hunt's recognition of General Feixiao?"
Mavuika: "Aeons are truly magnificent existences. They never fail to awe, no matter how one looks at them."
Mualani: "Counting the Hunt, we can be considered people who have seen two Aeons now!"
Mualani: "Just thinking about it gets me pretty excited!"
Furina de Fontaine: "No, to be precise, shouldn't it be two and a half?"
Furina de Fontaine: "One is the Aeon of Harmony who gazed at Miss Stelle and the others earlier."
Furina de Fontaine: "One is the Aeon of Hunt who just responded to General Feixiao."
Furina de Fontaine: "And another is the deceased Aeon of Order."
Furina de Fontaine: "Though… we only saw his giant hand…"
Hu Tao: "Then we can't call it two and a half. It should be two point one."
Yoimiya: "Come to think of it, we Teyvatians are really moving up in the world, haha!"
Yanqing: "General Feixiao's will is firm enough to draw the gaze of the Reignbow Arbiter."
Yanqing: "How wonderful. When will I ever reach General Feixiao's level of cultivation?"
Yunli: "You haven't even grown all your feathers yet, so don't think that far ahead."
Yanqing: "You talk as if you're so much older than me."
Jiaoqiu: "Hahaha!"
Jiaoqiu: "Excellent!"
Jiaoqiu: "General, you are truly magnificent!"
Jiaoqiu: "The Reignbow Arbiter has bestowed a battleaxe!"
Jiaoqiu: "How can we lose now?"
Silver Wolf: "Yeah, this is indeed a guaranteed win…"
Silver Wolf: "Unless Hoolay's side can also draw the will of the Abundance."
Silver Wolf: "Good grief, General Feixiao just activates cheats when things don't go her way, huh?"
Silver Wolf: "Hoolay was completely dazed just now."
Feixiao: "Did the Reignbow Arbiter ultimately respond to me?"
Feixiao: "My path will always be the Hunt. This will never change!"
Jing Yuan: "Well done!"
Jing Yuan: "General Feixiao perfectly exemplifies what a true general of the Reignbow is!"
Jing Yuan: "This is the true worth of the Merlin's Claw!"
Huaiyan: "Since General Feixiao took office, we have all witnessed her contributions to the Alliance."
Huaiyan: "Now that she has received the recognition of the Reignbow Arbiter, no one will ever be able to deny General Feixiao's countless achievements in the future!"
....
『 Seeing Feixiao pointing her axe at him!
Hoolay stopped making any other useless efforts and prepared to fight Feixiao to the death!
[ Since the day of my birth, the skies have wept blood, and all creation has wailed. ]
[ I once ruled over the strong and hunted down the weak. ]
[ Now, I shall use your inner beast as my weapon, and your name as my prey… Feixiao! ]
The Feixiao that Hoolay had transformed into now summoned a giant beast identical to Feixiao's Flying Aureus, launching an attack at her!
[ I will tear away your disguise and make you realize your own cowardice and incompetence, Hoolay! ]
Feixiao struck back, and the two clashed!
[ The wolf lurks in the hearts of all Borisin and Foxians… ]
[ Once you grow weak and powerless, it will feed on you! ]
[ To live in compromise is to find no way out! ]
[ To fight to the death is to endure for eternity! ] 』

Paimon: "That majestic giant beast!"
Paimon: "Isn't that General Feixiao's Flying Aureus?"
Paimon: "How did it end up on the side of the fake Feixiao that Hoolay turned into?"
Qingque: "Maybe… it couldn't recognize its own master either?"
Qingque: "Hahaha, just kidding."
Qingque: "I think the giant beast beside Hoolay shouldn't be General Feixiao's Flying Aureus."
Li Sushang: "Of course it can't be!"
Li Sushang: "The Flying Aureus was bestowed by the Reignbow Arbiter. How could it ever defect to the Plagues Author's side!"
Dan Heng: "This is likely a mental demon manifested from the Crimson Moon heart within General Feixiao's consciousness."
Dan Heng: "It just happens to look similar to the Flying Aureus"
Silver Wolf: "So Hoolay is using cheats too, huh?"
Silver Wolf: "Bullying General Feixiao because she can't summon her actual Flying Aureus in her consciousness?"
Hotaru: "I feel… Hoolay's tricks are still far inferior compared to General Feixiao's empowerment from the Hunt."
Stelle: "To be fair, if the Hunt hadn't buffed General Feixiao in time, I think with Hoolay's setup, she really would have had a hard time!"
Stelle: "But now…"
Stelle: "Just swing the axe and chop him down!"
Stelle: "He must be made to understand just how sharp an axe formed from the power of the Hunt can be!"
....
『 Hoolay, in Feixiao's form, held his weapon and used moves almost identical to hers, launching consecutive attacks at her, but they were all parried.
Meanwhile, the giant beast watching from the side opened its bloody maw and lunged to bite Feixiao.
[ Before it preys on me, it will have to wag its tail and beg for mercy! ]
Feixiao swung her axe back with immense force, sending the giant beast trying to swallow her flying.
[ Vanish! I shall triumph from your blood! ]
[ Inner beast, heed my command! ]
[ Prey, grovel and await death! ]
[ Die! Die! Die! ]
Seeing that he couldn't take down Feixiao, Hoolay went completely mad!
Riding the giant beast he called his inner beast, he began to fight Feixiao with everything he had!
The violent attacks poured down like a torrential rain; at this moment, Feixiao looked like a fragile leaf swaying in the rain, appearing incredibly weak.
But even so, this tiny leaf left Hoolay with almost no hope of tearing her to pieces!
[ …Why? Why won't you disappear?! ]
[ I will devour you with your own storm! ]』

Stelle: "His mental state is shattered! Hoolay's mental state has completely shattered!!"
March 7th: "How rare!"
March 7th: "Even Hoolay's mental state can shatter?"
Jiaoqiu: "Those who fail to achieve their heart's desire usually resort to powerless roaring when driven into a corner."
Jiaoqiu: "This shows that this is truly Hoolay's last resort."
Jiaoqiu: "And he is about to fail!"
Jiaoqiu: "But Hoolay's death is by no means worthless!"
Jiaoqiu: "Feixiao will step over his corpse and welcome a true rebirth!"
Moze: "Jiaoqiu, I must remind you…"
Moze: "You are watching a video, not something that has already happened in reality."
Jiaoqiu: "Come on, can't you stop interrupting at a moment like this?"
Jiaoqiu: "Can't you just let me be happy for a moment?"
Black Swan: "Since we have already learned of Hoolay's secret here in advance."
Black Swan: "Then I suppose replicating such a scene shouldn't be difficult for the Xianzhou Alliance, right?"
Black Swan: "Or perhaps, there might be a gentler way."
Qingque: "I have a plan!"
Qingque: "Since Hoolay desires so much to seize General Feixiao's body and become the new Borisin Warhead."
Qingque: "Then why not beat him at his own game, tricking Hoolay into willingly giving the Crimson Moon heart to General Feixiao?"
Fu Xuan: "Qingque, do you think this is a joke?"
Fu Xuan: "Do you have any idea how immense the risks involved are?"
Qingque: "Oh, Master Diviner, of course I understand."
Qingque: "But high risks often mean high returns!"
Stelle: "General Qing, is this your secret to playing Celestial Jade?"
Stelle: "Double down to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle?"
Stelle: "And then end up losing everything."
Jing Yuan: "Do not be angry, Lady Fu."
Jing Yuan: "Although it sounds a bit unreliable."
Jing Yuan: "It cannot be denied that this is indeed a way."
Furina de Fontaine: "But, can't Hoolay not be killed casually?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Didn't they say it would damage the relationship with the Foxians?"
Huaiyan: "Haha, that depends on the situation."
Huaiyan: "If sacrificing one Hoolay can save a victorious general of our Alliance."
Huaiyan: "Then why shouldn't Hoolay die?"
Yunli: "That's right."
Yunli: "Keeping Hoolay around is a disaster anyway."
Yunli: "Using him to cure General Feixiao is the best use of him!"
Yanqing: "Agreed!"
Yanqing: "But this matter will ultimately have to be discussed by the Alliance, right?"
Huaiyan: "With Jing Yuan and myself guaranteeing it, I believe this matter is settled."
Feixiao: "To trouble you two to worry about me… I really feel quite bad about it."
Jing Yuan: "Don't be a stranger. As fellow generals of the Reignbow, we should share such camaraderie!"
Huaiyan: "Excellent!"
....
『 [ Our little hunting game ends here! ]
[ Mighty light of the heavens, wolf in my heart, come to me... We shall conquer as one! ]
Feixiao forced Hoolay back, reaching out to throw off her overcoat.
A wild aura began to surge, and the true Flying Aureus, summoned by Feixiao, appeared in this space!
Then, Feixiao struck with the power of the Flying Aureus; with just one thunderous strike, she completely annihilated the inner beast Hoolay had conjured!
Seeing this, Hoolay gathered all his strength and launched a desperate final strike at Feixiao!
However, the only response he received was a brilliant flash of axe light!
[ My only enemy... has always been myself! ]
Hoolay was completely obliterated, and Feixiao's consciousness suddenly returned to clarity.
The scene shifted.
In reality, Feixiao suddenly opened her eyes.
Looking up, before her were Yanqing and Yunli, desperately holding back the strike of her giant axe.
And in the rear, March 7th was tightly hugging one of her thighs, being dragged along the ground. 』
『 ....』

Mualani: "HOORAY!!!"
Mualani: "GENERAL FEIXIAO WON!!"
Mualani: "General Feixiao is awake!"
Kachina: "Wow!"
Kachina: "General Feixiao's final strike was so, so cool!"
Kachina: "That was truly amazing!"
Stelle: "Oh my god, wait!"
Stelle: "March, what on earth is that pose of yours?!"
Stelle: "HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Stelle: "It's a pity I can't screenshot this and send it to my phone; otherwise I would definitely make this into a meme!"
Black Swan: "Would you like to learn how to extract memories and transfer them into digital information?"
March 7th: "Hey! That's enough!"
March 7th: "I'm already in such a pathetic state, and you're actually laughing at me?!"
Boothill: "Little Girl, though… still…"
Boothill: "What in the fudging world are you doing?"
Boothill: "Hugging her leg?"
Boothill: "Ha, you really made me laugh too!"
March 7th: "What else could I have done…"
March 7th: "I was trying my best, okay!"
March 7th: "General Feixiao is so strong, and I couldn't really hurt her seriously, so wasn't hugging her leg to restrict her movement the most useful thing to do?"
Dan Heng: "The most crucial point is that you didn't have the strength to hurt her seriously either."
March 7th: "Hey, Dan Heng, why are you always raining on my parade just like Stelle!"
March 7th: "Can't you leave me some dignity?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Ahem… although this scene is a bit cute."
Furina de Fontaine: "It is indeed the scene that best shows Miss March 7th's hard work!"
March 7th: "Aww, Miss Furina understands me best!"
Yunli: "Good grief, little brother Yanqing, did you see that?"
Yunli: "It's a good thing I blocked this axe strike for you."
Yunli: "Otherwise you would have been split in two."
Yanqing: "I blocked it too!"
Yunli: "Are you as strong as me?"
Yunli: "Didn't I block most of it?"
Yanqing: "Fine, fine, then I thank you."
Yunli: "No need to be so polite, just remember to teach me that move sooner."
Yanqing: "Then you'll have to be patient; after all, I can't say for sure when a flash of inspiration will hit me before I can learn it."
Paimon: "So… is it really, really, really over this time?"
Lumine: "Will another powerful character pop out?"
Silver Wolf: "At this point in the plot, another twist would be a bit impolite."
Silver Wolf: "It's pretty much done."
....
『 [ General? ]
[ You're awake, General! ]
Feixiao waking up brought joy to the three of them.
The screen suddenly went black, and several lines of large text appeared.
With this, the 'Wolf-Hunt Mission' has finally come to a smooth end.
As the Warhead is defeated and slain, the Wolftroopers can no longer resist and are completely overwhelmed by the Cloud Knights. Stelle and Moze then find Jiaoqiu, who is at death's door.
And this time, there's one more business that must be settled with the affair around Hoolay's jailbreak...
Then, the scene shifted, arriving at Lingsha and Dan Heng's side. 』
