The sound of icicles falling through the air, the tearing sound of piercing bodies and horses, the cries of wounded soldiers—the revolutionary army's relief force suffered extremely heavy losses before they could even see what their enemy looked like…

"How could this be..."

Blood flowed from her right eye, like tears of blood. Najenda's heart sank to rock bottom. She had resolutely abandoned everything to join the Revolutionary Army with great determination, but now her troops had suffered heavy losses, and the Revolutionary Army had also suffered huge losses as a result.

And all of this was caused by just one person, a person known as the strongest in the empire!

"Nice expression."

Esdeath gave her an appreciative look. She enjoyed torture, and she also enjoyed watching the expressions on people's faces when they were in despair.

Esdeath can never survive in times of peace and prosperity; only in chaotic times like this can she shine!

"It's time for the game to end."

The Revolutionary Army, already severely damaged from a distance, was reduced to a bloodbath and limbs scattered everywhere by Esdeath's power. Esdeath raised her ice blade; having already enjoyed the side dishes, it was time to enjoy the main course.

"I hope you can bring me even more pleasure, Najenda... hmm?"

A soft whooshing sound rang in her ears. Esdeath abruptly released her grip on Najenda's collar, leaped backward, and began to swing her ice blade through the air.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The crisp sounds of clashing continued to ring out. Najenda could barely make out that Esdeath was actually knocking down ice crystals with her ice blade.

"Could it be!"

With a power that seemed to come from nowhere, Najenda suddenly turned her head to look in the direction from which the ice shards were flying. In the distant sky, a purple shadow was flying towards her at an incredible speed!

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Esdeath's face turned ashen as ever. A massive ice wall solidified before her, and countless ice shards pierced it like a hedgehog. In the blink of an eye that Esdeath was fending off the ice shards, the purple shadow that was still far away a second ago had already crashed down between Esdeath and Najenda!

"Looks like I made it in time!"

The purple flames slowly died down, revealing the figure engulfed in flames. The figure, neither familiar nor particularly tall, now seemed especially reliable.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful, Najenda."

Turning his head, Lin Yu, who had activated Pride and flown across half the empire, smiled at Najenda, even though she looked particularly miserable. Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged.

"Esdeath really goes all out as always. We've been comrades-in-arms for a long time, is it really necessary to go this far?"

Lin Yu turned his head and glanced at Esdeath with a hint of reproach. Esdeath was looking down slightly, with most of her face covered by her ice-blue bangs. Although her expression was not clear, she exuded a strong aura like the calm before a storm.

Why did you come here?!

It wasn't a question; Esdeath didn't need to question anything, she just needed an answer!

Why did you come?

Lin Yu's smile faded, and he stared blankly at Esdeath, who had raised her head.

"To have taken control of most of my intelligence network without me even noticing, should I say you truly live up to your reputation, Esdeath?"

The two spoke in low voices, but Najenda, who was behind Lin Yu, felt her breathing become difficult.

"You haven't answered my question yet: why did you come here!"

A dangerous glint began to appear in Esdeath's eyes, and she glared at Lin Yu like a ferocious beast about to unleash its fury.

"It seems you're not planning to let Najenda off easily."

Lin Yu had no intention of answering, but the suffocating atmosphere suddenly eased.

huh, huh, huh...

Najenda was breathing heavily. She had been seriously injured and had almost been unable to breathe just now. But now, the atmosphere seemed to have become more relaxed. However, Najenda knew that this was just because the two of them had reached some kind of agreement.

"Divine Healing!"

A holy light began to emanate from Lin Yu, even enveloping the revolutionary army's support troops in the distance.

"My injury has actually healed?" Najenda looked at her newly grown arm in disbelief, touched her right eye which had recovered completely, and looked at Lin Yu with amazement.

"What exactly happened?"

"Is it a healing-type Imperial Arms?"

Speculation and discussion began to circulate among the troops, and the three beast warriors noticed the situation and gathered around.

"Najeta, lead the troops and retreat."

Lin Yu didn't even turn his head, still staring at Esdeath.

"But……"

Najenda gritted her teeth and glanced at Esdeath.

"Trying to retreat? Not so easy..."

Daidas, the most hot-tempered of the three beastmen, roared first, only to be met with a cold, golden gaze.

"I said, take the troops and leave!"

His golden eyes looked down at Daidas like an emperor, noble and majestic, leaving no room for doubt!

His voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word. Even the brainless Daidas had a feeling that if he dared to utter another word, he would surely die!

"Daidas, leave. You can't interfere with what happens next."

When Lin Yu turned his head, Esdeath's gaze was still fixed on him, as if she were looking at her prey.

"Yes……"

Daidas could stubbornly defy Lin Yu's wishes, but he absolutely could not and would never defy Esdeath's wishes, and neither could the other two of the Three Beast Warriors!

"Let's go! The entire army, retreat!"

Led by the Three Beast Warriors, Esdeath's troops quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and Najenda's army, whose morale had already been crushed, was powerless to pursue them.

"If we could work with Lin Yu here to get rid of Esdeath..."

Such a tempting idea rose in Najenda's mind. As if sensing her gaze, Esdeath glanced at her and revealed a wicked smile.

Thump, thump!

Najenda's previously lively spirits seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and she was filled with lingering fear. She saw provocation and disdain in Esdeath's eyes, but she was powerless to resist. After witnessing Esdeath's strength, she had decided that she should never confront her without being fully prepared!

"What, aren't you going to leave yet?"

Esdeath gave a mocking smile. If she didn't have other concerns, she would never have let Najenda leave.

"..."

Biting her lip, although her physical injuries had fully healed, Najenda finally realized the gap between herself and Esdeath. She was not someone who couldn't accept defeat, and when they met again, she would be fully prepared to fight Esdeath to the death!

Of course, there is one prerequisite.

Before leaving, Najenda turned her head and glanced at Lin Yu with some worry. The latter was still confronting Esdeath. She didn't know why Esdeath would let her leave, but one thing she was very clear about was that there would definitely be a battle between Esdeath and Lin Yu!

"We've already gone far enough, it's time we settled the score."

Najenda's troops and Esdeath's troops left one after another, but the two remained unaffected and stood facing each other without saying a word until quite some time later when Esdeath broke the silence.

"Yes, now we don't need to worry about anything."

Lin Yu also laughed. The two of them were preparing to fight seriously this time, but they were also very tacitly in sync. Their fight would have too much of an impact, which neither side wanted to see. So, before the others left, neither of them had any intention of making a move.

But now!

There's no need to worry anymore!

[Speaking of which, many of you were lamenting yesterday that Najenda's hand was still ruined. Didn't anyone think of Lin Yu's healing cheat? →_→]

265. Ultimate Showdown! [Two-in-One]

"Speaking of which, how long has it been since our last all-out battle ended in a sneak attack?"

After everyone had left, the atmosphere between Lin Yu and Esdeath eased up. The two chatted casually as usual, but only they knew that this battle was unavoidable!

"Who knows? I've never really paid much attention to the concept of time."

Lin Yu shrugged. Before he transmigrated, he had locked himself in his room for who knows how many years. In addition, he deliberately forgot his age, so he didn't even know how old he was. He only knew that before he transmigrated, he was definitely no older than twenty.

And after the transmigration, needless to say, his body turned into a torch, and as long as he had enough power to exist, he could exist eternally, so time became even less important.

"But that little girl from back then is almost taller than me now, it must have been a long time ago."

Lin Yu looked Esdeath up and down. When this girl was little, her chest was flat, but who knew that it would grow bigger and bigger over the years? Heaven knows if all the nutrients went to her chest.

"So many years have passed, and you still look the same as when we first met. I just wonder if your strength has also remained unchanged, just like your appearance."

Esdeath's words gradually became more confrontational, and her gaze towards Lin Yu began to turn serious.

"Well, we'll find out if there's any change by trying. I'm really curious to know how strong you are now."

The Queen's serious demeanor was indeed quite intimidating, but Lin Yu was not intimidated. Even if his strength did not improve as rapidly as Esdeath's, it was by no means stagnant. He was confident enough in this battle!

"In that case, fight with all your might, and don't let me down!"

Esdeath's face still wore her signature confident smile. The word "fear" probably never existed in her dictionary. In fact, along the way, there were very few people who could be considered her opponents!

Lin Yu's existence is very special to Esdeath, not only because Lin Yu appeared by her side when her entire clan was wiped out and has stayed with her ever since, but perhaps more so because Lin Yu defeated her twice. For Esdeath, who has always believed in the law of the jungle, this is absolutely intolerable!

An astonishing chill swept across the plain. The two men in the standoff had mobilized all their strength, and the mere emanation of the cold air had already darkened the sky.

"Our army should have an overwhelming advantage, so why are we leaving?"

After joining up with the Revolutionary Army, Najenda led her large army away from the 'dangerous area' without saying a word. Even though she had already gone a long way, she still dared not stop. The generals sent by the Revolutionary Army had met with her before. Although they did not suspect anything, they still expressed their doubts.

"No! If it's those two, our current forces aren't enough!"

Najenda bit her lip and extended her right hand. Those who had never faced Esdeath could not comprehend her power. The feeling of an ant looking up at a giant left an indelible shadow in Najenda's heart.

"Not enough? How could that be! We have five Imperial Arms users and nearly 200,000 troops, while Esdeath's army, no matter how powerful, only has less than 30,000!"

The revolutionary army commanders clearly didn't believe Najenda's words, and even their gaze towards her changed. Perhaps they thought Najenda was simply terrified by her previous encounter.

"No, I'm not talking about Esdeath's army."

Najenda shook her head, a look of unease on her face.

"I'm only referring to Esdeath and Lin Yu!"

There was no trace of joking on Najenda's face, and her firm tone left the questioning general speechless.
