The Art of Mercy - Chapter 6: Fight to the Death - Episode 4

Luhua combines himself with the Red Hare to become the fearsome Flying General. Altair relays his instructions to the Erdeni troops, and together, they temporarily numb the Flying General's senses. Lyria uses this opening to revert the Flying General to his original form, successfully defeating Luhua.


Red Hare: ...
(Captain) and the others finally face Luhua in a conclusive battle.
But what Luhua has prepared for them leaves them dumbfounded.
Vyrn: W-what's the deal here! What's the Red Hare?
Luhua: Spoils from winning the war with Sui. A proud steed that bends only to the strongest.
Luhua: With my own power, I took it from where it was enshrined in Sui and made it mine.
Luhua: But that isn't all.
Luhua: What will bring an end to you is not the Red Hare nor myself...
Flying General: You will be standing up against a man and his horse unified... The mighty Flying General!
Lyria: There they are! That way!
Together with Leonis, Lyria races to the front lines where her friends are, guided by the growing presence of a primal beast.
Leonis: What... is that?
Lyria and Leonis arrive at the scene to find not a primal beast, but something even further beyond their imagination.
Altair: Pant... Pant...
Flying General: Pathetic... Is this all you've got?
Having attained the power of the Red Hare, Luhua, in his new form, begins to eliminate all the soldiers standing in proximity to him, both friend and foe.
Each swing of his arm creates a gaping hole in the ground filled with hot, blazing flames that swallow their victims. Screams of soldiers fill the area.
The battlefield quickly becomes a living picture of hell as both armies desperately struggle to escape from the scorching fire.
Lyria: Is everyone okay?
Leonis: Altair! What in the skies is that? Is that... Luhua?
Vyrn: Lyria? And what's the king doin' all the way out here?
Lyria: I thought I sensed a primal beast, so I asked Leonis to bring me here!
Leonis: I had doubts when Lyria said it was a primal beast, but looks like it was the right choice to come out here.
Altair: I should really be reprimanding you for coming out to the front lines... but I'm grateful for Your Majesty's decision.
Altair turns to look at the grotesque half-human, half-horse figure in the distance.
Altair: He called himself the Flying General... The combined form of Luhua and the primal beast Red Hare.
Leonis: Combined... with a primal beast? Is that what primal beasts do?
Lyria and (Captain) shake their heads simultaneously.
Altair: It appears this is their first time seeing something like this happen as well...
Altair: Lyria, would it be possible to separate Luhua from the primal beast?
Lyria: I-I'll give it a try!
Lyria closes her eyes and focuses on the primal beast in front of her.
Lyria: It's no good... Luhua has taken complete control of the primal beast's consciousness.
Lyria: If I can find an opening to reach in...
Altair: If the possibility exists, then I believe it is worth a try.
Altair: The question is how we can create that opening...
Shura's Voice: The target is straight ahead! Launch all attacks at full force!
Flying General: Ergh!
At the sound of Shura's voice, the Flying General is engulfed in flames.
Shura: I apologize for the delay! I've brought reinforcements!
Shura: Bombarding him that many times at once should keep him busy for—
Flying General: Keep who busy?
The Flying General glances at Shura before shifting his gaze in the direction she came from.
Flying General: So Renfa was unable to stop you...
His eyes glint with both sadness and anger.
Shura: How did you withstand an attack that utilized all of our resources...
Flying General: A triple attack from all sides using firearms, magic, and explosives... An ordinary person certainly wouldn't be able to dodge an attack like that.
Flying General: But I am the Flying General. Seeing through all of that is but a simple task.
The ground, broken and rugged, shows signs of the attack, but Luhua has dodged all of the strikes without a single mark on him.
Shura: Then we will keep attacking until we land a hit!
Shura: All units, reload and take aim! Fire!
At Shura's command, the sound of countless bullets being fired fills the air.
Flying General: No matter how many times you try, it won't make a difference.
Once again, the rain of bullets misses its target and tears into the ground, clouds of dust blowing up from the impact.
Flying General: Now... merely avoiding attacks won't put an end to this. It's my turn.
Before anyone can even blink, the general is already standing in front of the support unit.
Flying General: I have nothing against you personally, soldiers. Blame yourselves for having been born in Erdeni.
Erdeni Soldier 1: Eek!
The troops move back in fear as Luhua takes one step closer after another.
Erdeni Soldier 1: D-damn it! Take this!
Shaking with terror, a soldier recklessly fires a shot at Luhua. The field is flooded by a blinding, white light.
Vyrn: Wha! What the heck was that?
Shura: It's a flash bomb!
Flying General: Ugh... Aaaaargh!
Flying General: Ergh... Ugh...
Despite the bomb inflicting nothing but a glaring light, the general writhes about in pain. A hypothesis begins to form within Altair as he watches the enemy struggle.
Lyria: ...!
I can sense the Red Hare now!
Flying General: Ugh... Do you really think you can stand up against me with a simple trick like that? You'll all pay for this!
Lyria: Eep!
Leonis: Ugh... You're as strong as ever...
Leonis rushes in front of Lyria just in time to block a heavy blow from Luhua.
Shura: Haaaah!
From one side, Shura knocks Luhua's weapon away as (Captain) comes up from behind him to strike.
Leonis: Altair! Do you have a plan?
Altair: In fact, I have just devised one.
Altair: Everyone, if you would kindly lend me your power one last time.
Altair: Even if my last plan should fail, I swear I will ensure that all of you escape, even if it costs me my life.
At Altair's call, the Erdeni soldiers are seized with determination once more, galvanizing their battered bodies.
Hearing the cries of conviction from the Erdeni troops, the Flying General's face contorts into an expression of annoyance.
Flying General: You insignificant bugs just don't know when to give up... You'll never be able to defeat me, no matter how many times you try.
Gran is the Main Character
Shura: Did you never learn to always keep your eyes on your opponent? We're not done with you yet!
Djeeta is the Main Character
Shura: Did you never learn to always keep your eyes on your opponent? We're not done with you yet!
While (Captain) and Shura keep the Flying General busy, Altair gives out his instructions to the soldiers.
Altair: I'd like the mage unit to fire at the area around the target—please make your shots as loud and flashy as possible. Hitting the target himself will not be necessary.
Erdeni Mage: Understood!
Altair: Snipers, fire blank shots at the target. I'd like you to focus on the number of shots—the more the better.
Altair: Bullets won't be needed. What I want is noise.
Erdeni Soldier 2: Yes, sir!
Altair: Lyria, please prepare to reach out to the primal beast at any given moment.
Lyria: Got it!
Flying General: (Strange... I find it hard to believe that the Silver Strategist would make a move without the slightest chance of victory.)
The general frowns in doubt as he looks over at the Erdeni troops.
Shura: Eyes on your opponent!
Sensing Shura sweeping in again from his blind spot, the general dodges the attack without sparing even a glance at her.
Erdeni Mage: Shoot away! No need for high-level magic. You heard the strategist—quantity over quality!
Erdeni Soldier 2: Take extra care not to hit Shura or (Captain)! Those who aren't confident in their aim, stick with blank shots!
Immediately, the battlefield is filled with deafening shots of guns firing at the same time, just as Altair instructed.
The thunder of explosives hitting the ground, the din of a million gunshots, and the ear-splitting sound of detonations overwhelm the senses.
Flying General: Ugh...
Flying General: (What is this? It feels like my head is about to split!)
Despite his countless experiences on the battlefield, strangely, the sounds pound into the general's mind like a hammer.
However, the wrenching pain inside his head is not enough to stop him from swinging his weapon.
Shura: (It looks like his movements have slowed compared to before... Now's our chance!)
Gran is the Main Character
Shura: (Captain)!
Djeeta is the Main Character
Shura: (Captain)!
Shura and (Captain) exchange glances.
One look from Shura is enough for (Captain) to understand her message. (Captain) runs at full speed and leaps directly in front of the Flying General.
Flying General: Fool! I've got you now—
Shura: Haaaaah!
Just as the general lifts his weapon over his head, Shura suddenly appears and twists her body, unwinding like a spring to land a full-forced kick to the side of his head.
Flying General: Wha!
The general staggers, his whole world sliding as his vision becomes hazy from the impact.
Altair: Lyria! It's your turn!
Lyria: Okay! I'll separate the Red Hare from him!
Red Hare: ...!
Flying General: I... won't... let you!
Lyria: Ahhh!
Leonis: Are you all right?
Lyria: Y-yes...
Lyria: Altair! I'm sorry, the primal beast rejected my interference before I could pull them apart completely...
Altair: No, well done. At least he is no longer a monster entirely incapable of reason.
Just as Altair says, the general stands up panting, the madness in his eyes now gone.
Flying General: You... What did you do!
Altair: In order to dodge a storm of bullets quickly, most likely two different abilities need to be exercised.
Altair: The first, of course, is the ability to move fast enough to avoid the bullets.
Altair: But the second is the ability to judge, based on your surroundings, exactly where and how to move.
Altair: You could have accomplished this in various ways, but I saw that you had exceptional trouble with a simple flash bomb.
Altair: That is when I realized that your senses are highly attuned to your surroundings—much more so than a normal person's.
Altair: That is why even the sounds of battle you are so accustomed to could overcome your senses. They could be amplified and thus weaponized.
Flying General: You cheeky little... Clever until the very end, are we?
Flying General: I commend you for realizing that in such a short time!
Flying General: But it changes nothing. Nothing! I can't lose to the likes of you!
Flying General: I need to win... for my wish to finally come true, and for myself! Die, insolent fools!
Altair: This will be the decisive battle. Let's fight with everything we have!
Gran is the Main Character
Everyone: Yes, sir!
Djeeta is the Main Character
Everyone: Yes, sir!
