Chapter 129 Esdeath

Ernest's obese body struggled to squeeze through the dark alley, panting heavily.

Just as he turned to continue his escape, he suddenly felt a tightness in his limbs. Ernest stopped abruptly and looked down to see several almost invisible threads wrapped around his hands and feet.

"What?!" He stared wide-eyed and struggled desperately, only to find that he couldn't even move his fingers.

"Don't waste your energy, you fat pig." A green-haired youth emerged from the shadows, toying with a roll of metal wire in his hand, a contemptuous smile on his lips.

"Who are you?!" Ernest shouted, a flicker of panic in his eyes. "Do you know who I am? Let me go!"

Lubbock flicked the thread in his hand, and Ernest let out a piercing scream, cold sweat instantly soaking his clothes. Lubbock sneered, "That's why we're here."

Before he could finish speaking, several figures suddenly emerged from the surrounding shadows. Tatsumi, Najenda, Leona, Akame, and the other Night Raid members appeared, surrounding the minister and coldly staring at him.

Ernest's eyes widened, his face turning deathly pale. "A night raid! Damn it!" he growled through gritted teeth.

Tatsumi stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Ernest, his fist clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. "It's you! You cancer of the empire!"

Looking at Tatsumi before him, Ernest's eyes darted around, then suddenly turned to Najenda, forcing a calm expression, and said, "Najenda, I personally bestowed upon you the title of general. How could you betray the Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsumi's rage could no longer be contained. He lunged forward, grabbed Ernest by the collar, and pressed the blade against his neck. Tatsumi's voice trembled with fury: "Stop playing dumb! Do you think we don't know? It was you! You ordered the massacre of the village! You killed my comrades! You are the culprit behind this corrupt empire!"

Ernest looked at Tatsumi in front of him with a hint of fear in his eyes. Just then, a strong gust of cold wind suddenly swept in from afar.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, a thin layer of frost covered the ground, and the temperature in the air dropped sharply.

"Click"

With a soft sound, frost spread at a visible speed, instantly covering the entire street.

Seeing the scene before him, the minister suddenly seemed to grasp at a last straw. His eyes lit up instantly, and he cried out in ecstasy, "Esdeath! General Esdeath! Save me!"

The expressions of the raiding party members changed drastically, and they all turned to look at the end of the street.

At the end of the street, a figure walked slowly, each step leaving a frost-covered footprint on the ground. Her blue hair fluttered in the cold wind, and a layer of pale blue chill surrounded her, as if she were a queen emerging from an icy world.

"How could it be so fast..." Najenda's expression changed. According to the calculation, Esdeath should have been back in a day.

Esdeath stopped in front of the crowd, her gaze sweeping across them before settling on Tatsumi. Her eyes softened instantly, and a smile played on her lips: "Tatsumi, I didn't expect you to ultimately join Night Raid."

At that moment, the minister, seeing Esdeath, seemed to grasp at a last straw, crying out in a voice trembling with sobs, "General Esdeath! Save me!!"

Feeling interrupted, Esdeath frowned, gave the minister a cold look, and then lightly raised her hand, her slender fingers tapping the air.

"puff!"

A sharp ice blade suddenly burst forth from the ground, like a blue lightning bolt, instantly piercing the minister's chest.

The minister's body shuddered violently, blood gushing from his chest. His eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at his wound, his face contorted with terror: "Why?"

"Without the power of the Empire," Esdeath said calmly, "you are nothing but a weakling. In this world, the weak do not deserve to live."

After speaking, she looked away as if she had just casually crushed an ant, the whole process flowing smoothly without the slightest hesitation.

The next second, Esdeath's gaze was fixed on Tatsumi again, her eyes filled with intense love, and the surrounding temperature seemed to ease a little.

"Tatsumi," Esdeath's voice held a seductive tone, "come with me. You don't belong to Night Raid, these weaklings. You should stand on the side of the strong. I can give you everything you want."

Tatsumi clenched his fist, a resolute glint in his eyes. He looked up at Esdeath, his tone firm: "Esdeath, you're wrong. True strength doesn't mean trampling on the weak, but protecting them."

"How disappointing, Tatsumi." Her voice held a hint of displeasure. "It seems I need to personally educate you before you understand."

At this moment, Najenda took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. As Esdeath's former comrade-in-arms, she knew better than anyone how terrifying this woman was. And now, the only way out was to buy time.

"Esdeath, surrender. The Revolutionary Army is about to besiege the Imperial Capital. Hundreds of thousands of troops are a force you cannot resist. No matter how strong you are, you cannot withstand the wrath of the entire continent."

"Hehehe..."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Esdeath chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops?" Esdeath's voice suddenly turned cold. "They're nothing but a bunch of ants that can be crushed at will!"

Before she could finish speaking, Esdeath raised her right hand.

In an instant, the sky changed color, dark clouds rolled in, as if the whole world was responding to her will, and a hurricane mixed with snowflakes swept in.

Snowflakes, like sharp blades, sliced ​​across everyone's skin, causing stinging pains. The Night Raid members instinctively raised their hands to protect their faces.

"Watch closely, Tatsumi." Esdeath's gaze was fixed on Tatsumi, her voice carrying a hint of seduction. "This is the true power."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

As soon as she finished speaking, Esdeath swung her right hand down suddenly.

"boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted. A more powerful surge of cold air burst forth like a flood bursting its banks, and in an instant, the blizzard expanded rapidly, breaking through the boundaries of the capital city.

The raging power of ice and snow spread across the entire continent at an astonishing speed, like a giant net. Wherever it passed, everything was frozen, and the whole world seemed to fall into an eternal winter at this moment.

Tatsumi felt the bone-chilling cold, his entire body seemingly frozen. His breathing became increasingly rapid, and a boulder seemed to be pressing down on his chest: "How is this possible... such power..."

"For the weak, everything is impossible." Esdeath stood in the eye of the storm, a cold smile playing on her lips. "The weak can only tremble in the world of the strong; they have no right to survive."

She gently curled the corners of her lips: "Even breathing is a luxury."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a scorching heatwave suddenly swept in from afar. The intense heat swept in like a raging fire, instantly colliding with Esdeath's blizzard.

The next moment, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out!

"boom!"

The collision of ice and fire unleashed a tremendous energy storm. Ice crystals instantly vaporized under the high temperature, while the heat wave rapidly cooled in the extreme cold. The entire sky seemed to become a huge battlefield, with ice and fire intertwining and producing deafening explosions.

Esdeath abruptly turned to look at the source of the heatwave, a flicker of surprise in her eyes, which quickly turned into intense excitement: "Finally..."

A fanatical smile curled at the corners of her lips, her voice brimming with barely suppressed fighting spirit: "Finally, a worthy opponent!"

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes shone with an almost frenzied light.

Leona barely managed to stay upright in the storm, looking at Esdeath in shock: "Esdeath, she seems... excited?"

Najendan gripped her weapon tightly and said, "She's a madwoman. When she encounters a strong opponent, her fighting spirit only intensifies."
