The Whale copies continued to rampage upon our forces as I grabbed the pouch of bocco fruits from the back of the cart, and rushed onto Fulgenta as my plan commenced, and it sprung into action successfully.

Since there were five whale copies left, Reinhard and Wilhelm were each tasked with one. The Iron Fang held two off, with Subaru and Rem supporting them. Crusch and I held off another one, and it seems that we can probably take this one down as a joint effort after a while.

Cahya and Alchemis flew into the distance away from here to gather some mana, and they'll be back in a short while, considering that Reinhard used up all the mana here to kill a whale copy. The main thing here is to try to trick the Whale into thinking that we have fallen into its trap, but while it looks on the battle from above, I'm going to 'cross the sky' to defeat it.

Now, the question is how to cross the sky.

Thankfully, that part is up to me the moment they successfully diverted the White Whale's attention, which is when Subaru makes his move.

I continued to fire off El Jiwalds and Al Goas at the White Whale copy, and Crusch dealt the final blow to this one as the wind magic sliced it in half, making it disappear. By using wind magic, Crusch and a few other mages have cleaned the field clear of fog by this point, so that's good.

Crusch went to help the Iron Fang while I went to help Subaru and Rem, who were busily dodging attacks from a Whale copy. "Al Goa!" I yelled as the fireball swerved through the air, its trajectory curving as I directed towards the White Whale's copy.

It sensed it coming, and proceeded to dodge just like it dodged Rem's Al Huma before, but I've got a trick up my sleeve. "Il Goa!" I yelled as I remembered the first conversation with Alchemis when I arrived in this world: The ability of homing fireballs.

The spell curved in a beautiful parabola before it rammed itself into the side of the Whale, causing it to scream in pain before Rem's Ice Spear pierced its head, pinning it in place as I readied my second variant spell.

I carefully aimed for its eyes before I condensed the most powerful fire spell in my hands further and further, until it's at the thickness of a pencil. "Ol Goa!" Within that extreme moment, I unleashed the energy, and the formidable original spell shot through its eye before piercing its brain as well in the process, and the Whale Copy faded as I let out a deep breath.

Time to commence the plan.

Alchemis and Cahya came flying back as I put them on my shoulder, fully charged. Subaru was tied to Rem's morningstar as she threw him upwards, causing him to fly threw the air towards the true White Whale, who was hovering in the air high above us. An Al Huma was also sent its way, causing the whale to dodge before it noticed the strong fog of miasma coming from its horn.

"Hey... now that I see you up close, you really are ugly, aren't you?" Subaru said as he stood on the White Whale's horn triumphantly, sneering at the mabeast as it noticed his presence. "Try to keep up with me. Just so you know, I'm infamous for being so annoying that nobody can ignore me!"

Subaru jumped off the horn, and the White Whale merely looked at him before suddenly chasing him after he yelled. "Listen up! I'm doing a huge favour for you! Because of you, Rem died and I had to suffer a horrible trauma!"

Right after he said it, a horrid stench appeared as I saw the shadow figure envelop Subaru as it gripped his heart, before quickly vanishing like she was never there as the White Whale began to dive and chase him.

"Rem! Now!" Subaru yelled at the oni, and she nodded before shooting a giant ice spear at the White Whale, piercing its maw before using the morningstar chains to whisk Subaru off to safety.
