Esdeath's beautiful light blue eyes narrowed, and she rushed towards Lin Yu. This time, however, he crossed his arms and looked completely unconcerned about her. This action successfully enraged the young and impetuous Esdeath, who let out a sharp shout and completely abandoned her intention to hold back.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The crisp sounds of impact continued to ring out. Lin Yu simply stood still and did not move, but all of Esdeath's attacks were blocked by the ice crystals in front of him!

"How could this be!"

The swift attack had no effect whatsoever. Esdeath's big eyes were filled with undisguised shock. Lin Yu watched the changes in the cute girl's expression with a rather wicked sense of amusement. His personality was getting worse and worse; he was even bullying a little girl.

Regardless of what happens to Esdeath in the future, she is still a child right now!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Ice spikes shot out like ice spears from the ice crystals Lin Yu was using for defense. Esdeath, who had no experience with such bizarre combat, was momentarily flustered and quickly increased the distance between herself and Lin Yu once again.

"You've been attacking the whole time, now it's my turn to attack, isn't it?"

Before Esdeath could even catch her breath, Lin Yu's wicked smile deepened. What could be more exciting than bullying a silly idiot?

Well, the premise is that this sadist has to be good-looking enough. If it were someone like Sister Feng, Lin Yu would probably give her a quick death to avoid polluting his eyes.

Although Esdeath doesn't have the same figure as she will in the future, her immaturity has its own charm. Her body, which hasn't fully matured, looks like a loli. Lin Yu has already automatically imagined her as a pseudo-loli, and teasing her is incredibly enjoyable.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Esdeath focused her attention. She had now accepted the reality that Lin Yu was stronger than her. After all, Lin Yu had allowed her to attack without any effect, which completely confirmed Lin Yu's statement that he had not used his full strength in the last battle!

Puff!

The once smooth snow suddenly seemed to burst open as if something was about to break through the soil. Esdeath, with her exceptionally sharp intuition, immediately moved away from where she was standing. In just a moment, that spot was pierced by countless icicles, each several meters long. If she hadn't dodged, she would probably be riddled with icicles by now.

Lin Yu gave Esdeath no chance to breathe, with countless ice spikes piercing the ground. Fortunately, each attack was preceded by a slight warning on the snow, giving Esdeath a chance to anticipate. This was intentional on Lin Yu's part. With his current control over ice and flame, he could create ice spikes out of thin air without having to go through the trouble of piercing them from the snow.

Under Lin Yu's relentless attacks, Esdeath was barely able to defend herself. She tried to launch attacks on Lin Yu many times to break the deadlock, but she couldn't even get close. Lin Yu was like a puppeteer, he could make Esdeath go wherever he wanted, a crushing situation!

Okay, like I said, he can only bully Esdeath for now. Once she goes to the capital and gets her Imperial Arm, the situation will probably be reversed...

but!

At least for now, his strength is absolutely enough to crush Esdeath, so of course he should take this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate her!

Lin Yu smiled happily. He couldn't let such a good opportunity go to waste. Besides, Esdeath had the mentality of respecting the strong. Maybe if he tortured her a bit more, he could train her into a masochist in the future.

Lin Yu wiped the unknown liquid from the corner of his mouth, then put in a bright smile and put in even more effort. The poor girl version of Esdeath's dodging and weaving looked like she was dancing. It was an attack route that Lin Yu had probably designed in advance, and it was quite a sight to behold.

"Too much abuse is not good either; too much of a good thing is bad. It's better to tone it down."

Thinking this, Lin Yu suddenly stopped his attack. The young Esdeath didn't react for a moment. She had already adapted to this fixed trajectory of dodging in the previous attacks, so her body instinctively dodged a couple more times before she realized that the attack had stopped.

"mix……"

Esdeath blushed slightly. She wasn't really angry at Lin Yu for teasing her, but she was still a little embarrassed to think about how she had jumped around a couple of times after the attack stopped. When she looked up, she saw a scene she would never forget.

Icicles, icicles that blot out the sky!

What appeared before Esdeath at this moment was a dense array of countless ice shards—no, perhaps it could no longer be called ice shards, because this time Lin Yu had shaped them into various forms!

Knife! Gun! Sword! Halberd!

Lin Yu used ice crystals to construct an ice-blue 'Golden Treasure'!

"So powerful, so beautiful!"

Esdeath stood there, stunned. Having lived in the icy lands of the North for years and been used to the same old snowscapes, it was normal for her to be stunned by such a spectacular scene. Not to mention that she was still far from mature and was just a little girl!

"How was it? My skills aren't bad, are they?"

Lin Yu hadn't laughed so freely in a long time. After tormenting this future sadist, Lin Yu felt only physical and mental well-being, without any guilt about bullying an underage girl.

This guy is definitely beyond saving...

"Yes, very strong, really strong, perhaps stronger than our entire clan combined!"

Esdeath nodded seriously, her evaluation of Lin Yu was ridiculously high.

Lin Yu snapped his fingers, and the countless ice crystal weapons shattered into fine ice sand that reflected the sunlight and drifted away in the wind. Now that he had achieved his goal of showing off, there was no need to continue maintaining these pirated swords. He had thought Gilgamesh's move was particularly cool when he watched Fate/stay night, and he certainly couldn't let this rare opportunity pass him by.

"Is this your ability? That's amazing! You can even manipulate ice. Can I have this?"

Seeing that Lin Yu had given up on continuing the attack, Esdeath quickly ran to Lin Yu's side, looking at him with sparkling eyes like a fangirl. The word "cute" that was never supposed to be used to describe her was perfectly embodied at this moment...

[I reread the Akame ga Kill! manga, and the teenage Esdeath is so cute! If you haven't read it, you can search it on Baidu. She's super adorable. Speaking of which, why not just let her stay a teenage girl forever?] (To be continued.)

218. A Tragic Scene! [Two-in-One]

"While I have no objection, this ability is innate and cannot be taught to others!"

Lin Yute helplessly shrugged. He couldn't very well explain to Esdeath that this was a power bestowed upon him by the world's consciousness, could he? So, he had no choice but to tell a small lie.

Besides, Esdeath will soon be able to obtain her true power, which happens to be ice-attribute. It's hard to say whether he can defeat this girl then!

"I see. That's a real shame."

Esdeath didn't insist, although it was clear she really liked the ability.

"By the way, this place is sparsely populated and I can't find anywhere to stay. Could you take me to where you live?"

Although it may sound a bit abrupt to say this, after all, this world is not very peaceful. Bringing a complete stranger to your base of operations is a risky move. If the stranger has no ill intentions, that's fine, but if they do, you simply won't be able to defend yourself.

If it were any other girl, she might have hesitated and refused, but Esdeath nodded happily after carefully examining Lin Yu for a moment.

"You agreed so easily? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"

Although it was exactly as he had expected, Lin Yu still couldn't help but complain.

“What does it matter? You’re so strong anyway. Even without my guidance, you can find my clan’s camp. It’ll just take a little longer.” Esdeath analyzed the situation quite thoroughly as she tied a thick rope to the prey she had killed.

Esdeath may look young and naive now, but her ability to judge people is by no means low. Even now, she has a mysterious charm, a charm that can make people admire her!

In the original work, General Riva, who was once Brand's superior, was imprisoned for refusing to bribe. It was because of Esdeath's temperament that he was willing to serve as a slave and protect Esdeath. And this temperament is already beginning to take shape now.

"Besides, I never sensed any killing intent from you when we were fighting, otherwise I wouldn't have held back."

After a pause, Esdeath chuckled self-deprecatingly, "But now it seems I was just being presumptuous."

Originally, Lin Yu's strength was only considered decent in Esdeath's eyes. No matter how bad his combat skills were, the fact that he could fight her to a standstill in terms of strength was already quite impressive. However, with the bug-like boost from Ice Flame, even she could only admit defeat and had no ability to retaliate.

"You can't say that. My ability is a kind of cheating, otherwise I wouldn't be your match."

Lin Yu felt a little embarrassed. He had enjoyed bullying this future sadistic queen, but now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel ashamed that he was so happy about bullying a girl.

The fact that even someone as shameless as Lin Yu could feel ashamed shows how ruthless he was when bullying Esdeath.

"No!"

Lin Yu had only said those words out of guilt and shame, but Esdeath looked at him with a serious expression.

“Strength is strength. Only the strong have the right to speak. That ability is also part of strength. I can only continue to stand here because you have no intention of killing me. Otherwise, death would be the only option.”

Esdeath's face hardened, showing no sign of joking. Although Lin Yu had long known that her ideas were deeply ingrained, he hadn't expected them to be this extreme.

"Yes, yes, so Esdeath, you still need to work harder if you want to defeat me!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he habitually placed his hand on the head of this future sadistic queen and started rubbing it. It has to be said that although Esdeath is past the expiration date of being a loli, she can still be called a girl. The feel of her little head is still quite amazing. In addition, thinking about her future personality and identity, Lin Yu rubbed it even more vigorously.

When a stranger touched her head, Esdeath's first reaction was not shyness but vigilance, and her whole body tensed up. The environment in which she was born was not so warm and cozy; a moment of carelessness could lead to death. However, when she thought of Lin Yu's true strength, she relaxed. After all, someone who could easily take her life had no reason to resort to sneak attacks.

"I will! Even if you have that kind of power, I will definitely defeat you!"

Esdeath didn't slap Lin Yu's hand away, but looked at him very seriously, as if she were making a vow. Before she even stood at the top of the world, Esdeath's fighting spirit was obviously extraordinary!

"Then I'll wait and see!"

Lin Yu already had a plan. There was still a long time before the beginning of this world. As the first agent to arrive, he had enough time to become stronger. Although the overall strength of this world far exceeded that of the Dark Bullet World, there were very few people who were qualified to participate in this great battle between agents at the very top. Esdeath was of course the best candidate!

"I won't leave until you can defeat me, Esdeath. Anyway, my individual strength is really bad, except for the power to manipulate ice. I'll stay here and practice my basics for now! Esdeath, you shouldn't mind being my opponent, right?"

"Of course, that's assuming we don't use that kind of power!"

Esdeath, who had been somewhat hesitant, curled her lips into a wonderful smile. Even though she was not yet fully grown, she already possessed a wild charm. In addition, she had only recently shed her loli form, making her exceptionally attractive to Lin Yu!

Lin Yu's plan is actually quite simple. He wants to build a good relationship with Esdeath before the other agents arrive. With an opponent of similar strength as her, Lin Yu's strength should be able to improve rapidly. Now that Ice Flame can no longer improve much, training his own strength is the best choice.

"In that case, let's go. It's rare to have caught such a delicacy as hopal. Let's hurry back and have Father roast it. We should be able to eat it before dark."

Esdeath wore a happy smile, clearly seeing this unfortunate 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' as nothing more than a tasty prey. Her petite body hoisted the thick rope and pulled it in a certain direction. Despite looking like a middle school girl, she was dragging a monster many times larger than herself, a sight that Lin Yu found strange no matter how he looked at it.

"I'd better drag it myself; it feels like I'm abusing a child laborer."

Lin Yu snatched the rope from Esdeath's hand, but he couldn't budge it. Despite her thin arms and legs, she was actually just as strong as Lin Yu, so it was normal that he couldn't move it.

"Don't worry, I won't steal your prey..."

Esdeath glared at Lin Yu like a kitten guarding its food, but then she thought about it and realized that was indeed the case, so she immediately threw the rope to Lin Yu.

"You should have said so earlier."

Lin Yu looked at the hemp rope in his hand and suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Although he had asked for it himself, the girl's expression made him feel like he was being treated like a laborer.

"Forget it, I won't stoop to the level of a little girl."

Lin Yu comforted himself in this way, and then miserably dragged the huge thing behind him, whose weight was unknown, forward. The snow on the ground was quite a resistance. Lin Yu, who had never done this before, twitched his lips twice, and then decisively condensed a smooth ice crystal under the body of the huge thing and jumped on it.

"Girl, come up here!"

Lin Yu called out to Esdeath once. He really didn't want to call her Esdeath anymore, as that name was full of sadistic connotations, so he simply called her "little girl."

"what?"

Esdeath jumped up with a curious look on her face, gently stepping on the slippery ice, wondering what Lin Yu was going to do.

"Stand still!"

Lin Yu chuckled. He didn't have any other merits, except that his power was immense. He was so extravagant that no Crimson World King would do something like using ice crystals condensed from his power of existence to travel—it would be such a waste of power!

Only a rich landlord like Lin Yu, who is "rich and willful and doesn't care about anything," can afford to be so powerful.

Let's go!

Lin Yu gave a shout, and the ice crystals on his feet moved forward rapidly like a giant ski. Most importantly, with Lin Yu's strength as support, it didn't matter if it was uphill or downhill, it was all flat ground in front of Lin Yu. The fact that he didn't fly away was already a consideration for Esdeath's feelings.

"Wow, is that even possible? What amazing power!"

Esdeath's body didn't even sway, which disappointed Lin Yu, who was still thinking that he could take advantage of Esdeath if she lost her balance.

Come to think of it, Esdeath is already strong enough, how could she not even be able to maintain her balance?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu was no longer disappointed. Didn't he see that the little girl was looking at him with bright eyes?

"Hehe, not bad, right? I've heard that some Imperial Arms in the Empire also possess all sorts of magical powers, and maybe one of them is like me, capable of manipulating ice."
