Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 315 Time Stands Still.avi
Jagi believed he knew Esdeath quite well. As the number one fighter in the world of Akame ga Kill!, she was exceptionally talented, had defeated all the Empire's opponents by the age of twenty, and was proficient in melee combat and large-scale AOE attacks.

But in general, Xiao Ai really only has those three skills: physical skills, Ice Storm General, and a limited-time general skill that can be used once a day: Moke Bodmo.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this would be enough for her to handle any trouble she might encounter. Among the people present, apart from the three Hokuto brothers, even the rather confident Saosa's expression grew increasingly solemn as he watched the two fight.

Compared to Esdeath, he had to admit that he was still somewhat inferior—he was born with the body of an emperor, impervious to swords and blades, yet he was still not as resilient as her body, and his attack range was far inferior.

What kind of immense power is hidden within that seemingly slender and graceful figure of this woman from another world, that she could withstand so many heavy blows from the Third Brother of the Big Dipper?

This is the power of numbers.

Just three months after drinking the Ice Imperial Arm, Esdeath was able to generate a blizzard that covered the entire continent by charging up her power. Furthermore, in order to prevent her prey from escaping, she immediately developed the "Pseudo-Time Stop Domain: Mochabotmo".

Using the ability to freeze to bring the surrounding molecules into a near-stagnant ultra-low temperature state in an instant may sound very cool, but it consumes a huge amount of energy. For strong opponents of the same level, it can only be used as an initial kill.

"I was the one who suggested this move, how could I not know?"

Wu Xiang Yin Sha teleports close the distance and grabs the target instantly. If that doesn't work, he follows up with a scissor kick. This combo will either severely damage the target or take them out.

As for whether other skills beyond Jagi's intelligence have been developed, such as Aia suddenly pulling out a strange katana and starting to chant "Sit on the Frost Sky 'Hyōrinmaru'", or starting by repeating the combat skill "Ice Age", it's not impossible.

But Jagi had already given these tricks to Setsuna, intending for her to develop and learn them, so why would Esdeath use them on him again?

"It's unwise to challenge your group leader with the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit ability!" Methyl couldn't help but start mocking again.

Over the years, compared to Esdeath's smooth sailing and unstoppable success, Jagi fought fiercely and enjoyed the thrill of battle, but he was often beaten up and faced life-or-death crises. The two had vastly different experiences when facing opponents of similar strength.

"You lost because I am a descendant of the Big Dipper!"

Whether it's creating ice cones, ice pillars, or ice walls, using temperatures low enough to freeze even the most dangerous species in the North to death, nothing can stop the North Star Man who has entered his end-of-the-century rampage mode; it's difficult to even stop him for a moment.

The man who used to be her punching bag can now treat her like a toy, manipulating her at will…

"whispering sound."

Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, Esdeath struggled to stand up.

Esdeath, a natural-born powerhouse, had never been beaten so badly by someone laughing maniacally. Her body was now completely ruined, covered in blood and ice crystals, her skull shattered, and her muscles torn.

Her favorite military uniform was tattered from the friction with the ground, revealing large patches of her snow-white, dusty skin. No one would doubt that she came from some defeat CG.

Aside from deliberately ruining a shirt, Jagi was completely unharmed, and the outcome seemed obvious.

But... she finally found an opportunity.

Jagi's biggest mistake was judging Esdeath's strength based on the standard of once a day.

The world before him turned into black and white. In this world where molecular motion had stopped, Jagi was like a bee sealed in amber, or a primitive man buried in a layer of salt. In this pseudo-time stop that was more like physics, he was fixed in front of Esdeath in a rather philosophical posture, ceasing to think in this inescapable cage.

Esdeath's face was somewhat pale. It seemed that continuously using Makopotama was like a swan song for Tachibana Hibiki—a powerful move with a heavy burden, but with enough effort and sheer willpower, it wasn't insurmountable. Perhaps in another two years, this move could be used infinitely.

"Sister Xiao Ai actually won... wait!"

As Enju watched Esdeath about to touch Jagi, Jagi, who should have lost consciousness, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light like the sun.

Grand, torrential, surging—even these words combined are insufficient to describe the energy fluctuations emanating from Methyl at this moment. His former comrades-in-arms all changed their expressions, seemingly recognizing the source of these fluctuations.

"That's...his Dharma form?"

"It appears to have arrived autonomously."

In a daze, they could see the illusory figure of the little girl appear beside Jagi, and she seemed to snort coldly with dissatisfaction. Immediately afterward, the time-stopping field that Esdeath had painstakingly created by seizing the opportunity suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Although the petite figure was ethereal, it radiated a dazzling golden light that was impossible to look directly at, like a deity standing proudly between heaven and earth.

An overwhelming power, even if it merely exists, is enough to break through this frozen spacetime domain.

This is Jagi's greatest asset in his previous awakening, the ability that allowed him to be rated as a mid-level Berserker—the second-stage transformation that a qualified dung monster must possess!

After the opponent has fought hard to overcome his own first stage, he will then face "King of the Promise: Great Earth" Jagi, who has a longer health bar, higher damage, and a completely reset resilience bar.

Esdeath remained calm, her icy blue eyes gleaming with an unknown light. Facing an otherworldly being far stronger than herself, and feeling its unparalleled and terrifying power, a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

She reached her hand up to the top of the little girl's head, who was staring intently at her, and then gently stroked her long, flowing golden hair that reached her ankles.

"Don't worry... I won't hurt him."

Faced with this unexpected action, the blonde loli, who had initially been hostile upon discovering her presence, turned her head away somewhat embarrassed, muttered something, shook her head, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this point, no one can "save" Jagi now.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Esdeath held Jagi, who had temporarily lost consciousness, in her arms and whispered in his ear.

"And... now you should get some rest."

……

Esdeath's sudden intervention disrupted the proceedings, causing the succession battle, which nearly erupted on the spot, to fizzle out due to a lack of key participants.

Yukari Yakumo, who had been watching the entire battle, leaned halfway over the edge of the gap and asked Shana in a low voice with a puzzled look, "What's going on? What happened between those two? Is their relationship good or bad?"
