Bai Shi stared down at the bloody arm bursting from his own chest, his pupils constricting. The hand shot upward, clamping tightly around Bai Shi’s neck. Something was trying to claw its way out from inside him. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel※fire.net Melina, who stood right beside Bai Shi, immediately swung her dagger at the grotesque limb. But as her blade cut into the arm, an identical wound appeared on Bai Shi’s right hand. Both Melina and Bai Shi were stunned. Only now did they realize the arm was a perfect copy of Bai Shi’s own. Upon discovering this truth, Bai Shi acted without hesitation. He seized the arm, wrenched it downward, and snapped it. At the same time, Bai Shi’s own right hand twisted unnaturally, mimicking the break. If it continued to push its way out, it would likely be more than just an arm. As the arm was completely cut away, Bai Shi’s own arm broke off along with it. Yet even after being severed, the arm on his chest wasn't finished; it showed signs of regenerating. Bai Shi ignited his flames, incinerating it completely with the fire of the sun. Melina summoned a small Erdtree once more, and combined with Bai Shi’s own sunlight-based healing, his flesh grew back at an astonishing rate, quickly restoring him to a state where he could fight again. And all the while, Mohg stood in place, silently observing Bai Shi and Melina’s every move. Ashmi, wielding two Starscourge Greatswords, had already charged in front of Mohg. With a spinning motion, she brought both greatswords crashing down, but Mohg made no move to dodge or defend. The greatswords swept through his body, drawing only a few drops of blood before their effect completely vanished. Mohg remained unmoved, utterly unconcerned by Ashmi’s attack. He now possessed the Divine Essence of the Formless Mother and had fully refined the law of blood within his Great Rune. At this moment, he was the Formless Mother’s avatar in the Lands Between. Continuing to use these insidious methods to kill Bai Shi would certainly work, but it seemed his Mother wished to fight alongside him. And as her child, he would not disappoint his mother's wishes. Mohg brought his left fingers together. He raked his nails across his own body, and a torrent of blood gushed forth. The power of the Great Rune activated, resonating with the Formless Mother across the distant cosmos and strengthening their connection. Through the combined efforts of Mohg and the Formless Mother, the portal within the Mohgwyn Sacred Spear expanded once again. Instantly, a tidal wave of formless flesh poured out from the void in the spear. Seeing the transparent, blurry silhouettes spreading nearby, Bai Shi knew this was bad. He quickly conjured a miniature sun. Under the sun’s illumination, the Formless Mother’s body became visible, allowing everyone to clearly track her movements. Her form had already engulfed the entire cursed blood pool that had been there before. Melina possessed the Gloam-Eyed Queen’s vision and could see the Formless Mother’s movements, but Ashmi desperately needed the sun’s light to do the same. Ashmi stared at the writhing Formless Mother, clear fear on her face. She could feel that if she were touched by it, something terrible would happen. Bai Shi, having already experienced the Formless Mother’s methods, did not dare to be careless. He warned: “Be careful. Don’t let it touch you.” Far in the distance, Leda and the others were at a complete loss. First came the terrifying power of the sun, then Mohg’s aura surged relentlessly, and now an Outer God had intervened. Their instincts screamed at them to flee, but their sense of mission would not allow it. Worry filled Leda’s eyes. Could Bai Shi still defeat Mohg in his current state? But then, a voice resounded in her mind: ‘Do not worry. I am watching.’ ‘You have done well, Leda, to follow the guidance of grace to this place.’ Only Leda could hear the voice, and it filled her with encouragement. She bowed her head deeply, her heart overflowing with joy and her face flushing crimson. Bai Shi gathered his strength once more, drew his crystal staff, and unleashed the Comet Azur from his Sword of Night and Flame at Mohg. This time, Mohg finally reacted, vanishing from his spot in an instant. When Bai Shi located him again, he found that Mohg had reappeared on the flat of Ashmi’s Starscourge Greatsword. Ashmi’s pupils shrank as she remembered the few drops of blood her sword had drawn from Mohg earlier. He used that as a marker to teleport?! Ashmi immediately swung her greatsword upward, attempting to send Mohg flying. But Mohg didn’t budge. Before Ashmi could even lift her sword, his sacred spear had already pierced through her. Faced with such immense power, Ashmi’s body had no chance to resist. Her life was extinguished in an instant. Ashmi’s consciousness shot back to her core, letting out a pained cry within Bai Shi’s body. Facing death directly for the first time in the Lands Between, she felt a pain unlike anything she had ever known. Even knowing she would be fine, she couldn’t fight the overwhelming fear. At this moment, Ashmi finally understood the most primal instinct of all living creatures—the awe and rejection of death. After her brief cry of pain, Ashmi quickly relayed the information she had gathered to Bai Shi: ‘Host! His physical body is far stronger than before!’ ‘Even your body can’t compare to his now! You absolutely cannot face him head-on!’ Bai Shi was already well aware of this. Because even as Ashmi spoke, he was sent flying by a sudden thrust from Mohg. Bai Shi shot backward, and even the sturdiest of his weapons, the Ruins Greatsword, was chipped from the impact. Melina dodged an attack from the Formless Mother and stepped between Bai Shi and Mohg, trying to block him. However, Mohg instantly appeared behind Melina and launched another attack at Bai Shi. Now Bai Shi was trapped, with Mohg rushing at him from the front and the Formless Mother waiting behind. Bai Shi gritted his teeth and cast a gravity spell behind him, using the repulsive force to launch himself upward and out of the way. In the sky, Bai Shi finally had a moment to breathe. His arm, which had blocked Mohg's attack, was still trembling violently; he could barely hold his sword. So this was the power of an Outer God? It could make even Mohg’s physical body this strong? Looking down at the tidal wave of flesh swarming below and the unnaturally fast and powerful Mohg, Bai Shi had no room for hesitation. He used Fengling Yueying again. Infinite Mana. Time remaining: 900 seconds. Just as the tide of flesh changed its target and lunged for Melina on the ground, another sun rose from Bai Shi's hand. An endless wellspring of magic now surged within Bai Shi, inexhaustible no matter how much he used. The amount of magic he could unleash within this time limit was determined only by the speed at which he could channel it. It was like facing an ocean: the effect of bailing water with a cup versus pumping it with a massive engine was worlds apart. Fortunately, Bai Shi's rate of magical output was second to none. Magic poured from his body in a ceaseless torrent, so intense that even the magical circuits within him began to fracture under the strain. A sun ascended, hanging in the eternal night of this subterranean world. Fed by an endless stream of magic, the sun swelled continuously, expanding wildly as if without limit. Then, warm sunlight descended, instantly repairing all the damage within Bai Shi’s body and allowing him to release his power without reservation. Did this expanding sun have a limit? Of course it did, but it was a limit Bai Shi couldn’t reach even with infinite mana. The sun unleashed a destructive inferno upon the Formless Mother. Her flesh melted like snow in the flames, vanishing without a trace. Sensing the immense magic gathering in the sky, Mohg felt a flicker of imperceptible panic. Braving the omnipresent flames, he pierced Bai Shi with his spear. But Bai Shi just roared with laughter, letting the sunlight heal the wound instantly right before Mohg's eyes. Bai Shi looked down from the sky at Mohg and the Formless Mother, letting out a slight breath of relief. The power of the sun far exceeded his imagination. Fueled by infinite magic, it was almost omnipotent. If Super Damage had been redirected to the stars by the Formless Mother again, Bai Shi would have been forced to use his last, life-saving charge. That was a scenario Bai Shi absolutely could not accept. While Infinite Mana couldn't produce the same kind of qualitative leap as Super Damage, the endless supply of magic was more than enough to trigger a quantitative one. With the supply of infinite mana, things proceeded far more smoothly than Bai Shi had ever imagined. There were still over four hundred seconds left on the timer, but Mohg and the Formless Mother were already powerless to resist. The portion of the Formless Mother’s body that had been teleported to the Lands Between had been completely vaporized. Any new flesh that poured from the sacred spear was immediately incinerated by the flames. Mohg, scoured by the inferno until he was barely recognizable, had lost all of his earlier composure. No matter how fast he moved, how could he possibly escape the light that was everywhere? He gritted his teeth, his face a mask of bitter unwillingness. He had already dodged that ultimate attack, so why could Bai Shi still use a move of this caliber?! Damn it, where did all this magic come from! The Formless Mother communicated with him directly through the Divine Essence she had left within him. ‘I can take you away.’ ‘To the cosmos, far from these feuds.’ The Formless Mother asked Mohg. Mohg reached for Bai Shi, wanting to crush him, but his hand could only grasp a handful of rubble from the ground in frustration. “I must remain here...” His unfinished ambitions, his yet-unfounded dynasty, the oath he made to his followers, and Miquella—they were all here. If he left the Lands Between now, what would he have left? Only here was he a Shardbearer, the Lord of Blood, his Mother's child. Although his Mother was offering him a safe harbor, Mohg could not simply run away. His followers had dedicated their lives to him. They truly believed in this dynasty! Mohg knew he was by no means a good person, and the men he recruited were almost all outcasts anathema to the world. But their loyalty to him was genuine. Pride flowed in Mohg’s veins; he had his own dignity, his own honor. No matter how safe that harbor was, he would not flee. He would rather evaporate in a blaze of glory than wither away in silence! Mohg lunged at Bai Shi, prepared to gamble everything he had, even if this power were to destroy him in the process. He had no hope left, so he would do something for his brother. This strike would definitely take Bai Shi’s life! Once this obstacle was removed, his brother would surely become the Elden Lord! ‘That simply will not do.’ A voice echoed in Mohg’s mind. The Empyrean he had coveted for so long had finally answered him, but only to bring him death. A golden crest bloomed within Mohg’s body, forcibly halting his movements. In that instant, everything within Mohg that had been influenced and altered by the charm returned to him. Upon realizing the truth, Mohg completely broke down. Amidst Mohg’s despairing cry, Bai Shi severed his head. Thus, the Mohgwyn Dynasty fell.
