The two smiled simultaneously, and the shattered ice crystals transformed, breaking into countless ice spikes that clashed against each other.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sounds of intense collisions echoed through the deserted area. Even the less intelligent dangerous species, driven by instinct, fled from this dangerous place. The clash between two top-tier combatants, even just the aftershocks, was deadly enough.

Ice spikes raised a smoke screen on the ground, and the two rushed out of the smoke screen almost at the same time. However, Esdeath was at an overwhelming disadvantage at this moment. After all, Lin Yu had ice wings that allowed him to fight flexibly in the air, but Esdeath did not have the ability to fly. At this moment, with both of them in mid-air, Esdeath was bound to be at a disadvantage.

Lin Yu had thought so from the beginning, but it wasn't until he flapped his wings and charged toward Esdeath that he noticed the smile on her face.

"A trap? Where exactly is it?"

Before Lin Yu could even think of these two questions and find the answers, Esdeath had already dodged his attack. Her longsword, carrying a strong wind, stabbed towards his head. In the battle, Esdeath showed no mercy, as if she wanted to kill Lin Yu. Lin Yu dared not place his hopes on Esdeath stopping at the last moment, so he quickly summoned the 'Vampire'!

Clang!

With the collision of the greatsword and the longsword, Lin Yu used the force of the impact to quickly create distance between himself and Esdeath. Only then did he notice that Esdeath's calves and forearms were covered in ice crystals!

"She actually covered her limbs with ice crystals and then manipulated them to fly? Esdeath, you truly are a genius in combat!"

Lin Yu had never imagined that ice crystals could be used in this way, and couldn't help but smile wryly. His ice wings were actually transformed from the Free Transformation Technique he learned from Shana!

"Of course! Now that I know you can fly, I can't let you suffer in this respect."

Esdeath had no idea what humility was, and immediately revealed a smug smile.

"However, I still have the advantage in terms of flexibility!"

Although Esdeath's idea was ingenious, its flexibility was naturally inferior to Icewing's. While it solved the disadvantage of not being able to fly, Lin Yu still had the upper hand overall.

Lin Yu was unaware that although this ability was not mentioned in the anime, Esdeath herself had come up with such a use for it later in the manga. However, she had brought this ability forward by nearly ten years!

"Try it and you'll see!"

With another wave of her hand, a large number of ice shards shot towards Lin Yu, and under Esdeath's control, they were like homing missiles that relentlessly pursued him.

"In return!"

Lin Yu flapped his wings and charged toward Esdeath, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Just kidding!"

As they approached, Lin Yu suddenly stopped in mid-air, raised his greatsword 'Vampire' and swung it down fiercely.

"what!"

A visible slash flew towards Esdeath. Esdeath, who thought Lin Yu would fall for her trap, had no choice but to give up. A huge ice ball solidified in front of her, and the vampire's slash easily shattered the ice ball, but Esdeath was able to escape.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that his attack missed, Lin Yu seemed to lose his balance slightly as if he had been attacked. A large ice crystal had formed behind him, covered with countless small ice shards. Don't forget that Esdeath was manipulating the ice shards to chase after him while he was attacking!

In this round of confrontation, Lin Yu was slightly at a disadvantage, but for someone with such immense power as his, there was absolutely no loss. The two returned to square one.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that he could control ice to this extent after only three days of obtaining the Imperial Arms."

Lin Yu sincerely praised Esdeath's talent, which was indeed beyond his reach. In the original work, if she hadn't been invincible for so long, her strength would probably have been even greater. She is now living proof of that!

"That's all there is to it; there's still a considerable gap between us."

Esdeath had not forgotten the 'full power' Lin Yu had once unleashed. When she saw the thick smoke billowing from her tribe, they arrived in an instant from a distance. She still vividly remembered that speed and the purple flames!

“That power has too much of an impact on me, so I don’t plan to use it, and also…”

Lin Yu looked at Esdeath with a mocking expression.

"If your strength is only what it is now, then there's no point in using you!"

"Oh?"

Esdeath narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew very well that this was Lin Yu's way of provoking her, but there was nothing she could do about it; she was just too proud and arrogant.

"Then so be it, show me your true power!"

Esdeath's eyes were more serious than ever before: "Don't die!"

A sudden chill ran through Lin Yu's body; he actually felt the cold!

You should know that he already possessed the power of ice and flame, and in addition, he was in the body of Mystice, so cold was almost irrelevant to him, but now he could clearly feel it.

Will power, when it reaches a certain level, trigger a qualitative change?

Lin Yu was on high alert, as Esdeath at this moment was clearly not the same as before.

Click!

A huge ice spike shot straight up from the ground into the sky. Lin Yu flapped his wings and easily dodged it, but more ice spikes shot out. Before he could figure out Esdeath's intentions, Lin Yu dared not fly higher into the sky. Who knew what traps awaited him there?

"We can't just sit and take a beating!"

As Lin Yu thought this, his heart skipped a beat, and the sky seemed to darken.

"This is my strongest attack so far. If you dodge it, I'll admit defeat!"

Esdeath's attacks were swift, but she was far inferior to Lin Yu—she didn't have Lin Yu's almost inexhaustible power to support her!

Above the clouds, icicles, so dense they were almost impossible to avoid, fell downwards. On the ground, countless icicles broke through the soil and pierced the sky. It was a pincer attack from both the sky and the ground!

"That crazy girl!"

Esdeath's face was noticeably pale, barely managing to stay upright from falling from the sky. Lin Yu didn't care about anything else and immediately released a large amount of his existence power to desperately construct an ice layer for defense. In just a moment, the ice shards collided with the tortoise-shell-like ice layer. Lin Yu didn't care about anything else and quickly flapped his wings to catch Esdeath.

"Is it really necessary to go this far for a mere sparring match?"

Lin Yu was really angry this time; this girl was completely disregarding her own safety.

"If this had dragged on, I would have lost, but it seems I have already lost."

Esdeath shook her head with a wry smile. She was still too impatient; her mastery of ice was not yet perfect.

The ice and icicles were collapsing almost every moment, and the area several kilometers below was covered by thick ice, just like being in the North.

Just as Lin Yu was about to carry Esdeath away, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart. The next moment, he only had time to throw Esdeath aside before he was swallowed up by a strange pillar of light...

231. Hallucination? Reality? [Two-in-one]

Thump thump... thump thump...

A beam of light, filled with destructive intent, shot into the sky as if to pierce the heavens. A chilling aura rapidly approached from afar. Esdeath, who should have been waiting with bated breath, opened her eyes wide and stared at the beam of light before her, her heart quickly filled with unprecedented rage!

"Tsk tsk, I never thought that the common enemy of all the agents would be so naive, actually sacrificing himself for a native. And they won so easily. It seems that entering this world early was indeed the right thing to do. Now all the credit is mine!"

Before coming to this world, Orpheus had anticipated a tough battle, but he never imagined that the two great wills, whom even he and the 'gods' standing behind him considered formidable enemies, would choose such a useless person as their proxy. The power of that attack just now was self-evident; a full-force strike from the most powerful and dangerous species in the world would be impossible for even his two proxies, whom he looked up to, to easily withstand. And Lin Yu…

According to 'God', this piece of meat, which is considered a fat piece of meat by all the agents, can only be ranked in the middle among them. It is not too bad, but it is definitely not top-notch!

But Orpheus possesses absolutely top-tier combat power!

"How dare you...how dare you..."

Esdeath's petite body trembled in mid-air.

"Trembling because of the power of the super dangerous species? As expected of natives."

Orpheus scoffed disdainfully. To them, the agents, all creatures that could not transcend their original world were merely natives, no matter how strong they were. They, the agents, were the only beings in this world second only to the gods!

"How dare you kill him! Who gave you the guts!"

Already a hundred meters in the air, Esdeath's power unleashed a terrifying chill, as if even the air itself was about to freeze. However, Orpheus merely looked at Esdeath with disdain. Beneath his feet, a super dangerous creature that lived in the clouds of the East Sea and resembled a divine dragon from ancient Eastern legends stared at her with icy eyes. The beam of light that had swallowed Lin Yu had spewed from its mouth!

"They can actually tame super dangerous species!"

Esdeath's icy blue eyes were fixed on the giant dragon in front of her, whose entire form was almost invisible, like a piece of frozen ice. This was the strongest super dangerous species in the world!

"My ability is rather special. Although it cannot be directly used in combat, I am very good at manipulating these powerful monsters. This world is simply my paradise, full of powerful but shallow-minded creatures."

Orpheus originally controlled other creatures, but after arriving in this world, he discovered that this was his home turf!

"I can rest assured that."

A chilling voice suddenly rang in Orpheus's ears, his body engulfed in orange-red flames. This wasn't the first time Lin Yu had wielded such flames; the last time they appeared was when Ann Rand's scheme led to the Tina sisters' self-destruction in front of Lin Yu, and he had survived thanks to these flames, which were called…

——Bingeing!

"If you have no other choice, then die!"

The orange-red flames suddenly intensified, and Lin Yu's fist, carrying immense power, slammed into Orpheus's head. In his Raging Sin state, Lin Yu's power was absolutely capable of blasting apart a small mountain!

boom!

Lin Yu's attack failed to hit Orpheus. Visually, Lin Yu had clearly hit him, but it was as if he had hit thin air. The remaining force of the punch slammed into the dragon-shaped super dangerous species. The super dangerous species, which was at the top of this world, let out a painful howl. Its long body twisted and emitted a lot of mist, as if it were in the clouds.

"So that's how it is. It's the power of the Seven Sins?"

As Lin Yu used his gigantic ice wings to disperse the mist, Orpheus and the dragon had already distanced themselves. The power of the giant dangerous species was immense, and it could face an army of millions without fear. However, when facing a top expert, once it got close, it could only passively take a beating. No matter how strong it was, it could not unleash its power on itself!

"This is a bit troublesome."

Orpheus frowned. He had heard of Seven Sins' abilities. For a long time, the story of Seven Sins being killed by Lin Yu despite having the upper hand was a joke among the Proxy. But if Lin Yu, as an enemy, really obtained Seven Sins' abilities, it would not be a good thing.

"Lin Yu!"

The exchange between the two was actually only a moment, and by the time Esdeath reacted, the two were already standing face to face.

"You dare to leave me aside? You've got some nerve!"

Seeing that Lin Yu was unharmed, Esdeath breathed a sigh of relief and flew to Lin Yu's side as if to interrogate him.

"Never mind."

Esdeath's lips curled up slightly, and her tone suddenly changed: "Let this guy suffer a bit first, then I'll settle the score with you!"

Esdeath was still furious. This guy who appeared out of nowhere dared to take advantage of the situation and launch a sneak attack. If Lin Yu hadn't thrown her out and hit her with the full force of a super dangerous species when her strength was almost exhausted, she would have been dead!

"Don't push yourself. Your strength should have been almost completely depleted by that last attack, right?"

Lin Yu hadn't forgotten that this girl hadn't even saved up any power for flying in order to finish the battle quickly. Even if things had eased up a bit after only two minutes, she was probably severely depleted of power.

Who do you think I am?

Esdeath's expression remained as proud and confident as ever. She was by no means a show-off; on the contrary, the more difficult the situation, the stronger she was able to demonstrate her abilities!

"Alright then, be careful, that guy's weird!"

Lin Yu figured that if he objected, he would have to fight Esdeath first, otherwise, given the girl's personality, she would definitely not back down willingly. So for now, he had no choice but to trust her.

"You guys are really taking it easy."

A fierce wind howled in, and every movement of the dragon caused a huge commotion. The force of a single tail swipe was equivalent to that of a Category 12 hurricane. Lin Yu and Esdeath were nothing more than mosquitoes to the dragon's body!
