Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

"In that case... he certainly doesn't seem like a Teigu user."

Dr. Fashion frowned slightly, her fingers gently pinching her chin, her breasts swaying slowly as she pondered.

As a research fanatic, she had already memorized the information on all forty-eight Imperial Arms, but after comparison, none of the descriptions matched.

But for some reason, upon hearing about this strange method, the image of Yotsuba Mahiro immediately came to mind.

After all, the methods he just displayed were quite strange...

But she didn't say it out loud. After all, he was her colleague who had given her such a big surprise, and she wasn't actually that familiar with the Imperial Assassination Squad.

So we changed our guess.

"It must be a hybrid of some kind of dangerous species, right?"

“Yes, that’s a possibility.” The head of the assassination department nodded in agreement.

The possibility of possessing physical strength surpassing that of the Four Demon Rakshasa, and having abilities different from those of the Imperial Arms, is quite high.

After all, many nobles in the empire had strange hobbies.

For example, they might take girls they bought and have them mate with dangerous species for their own amusement, resulting in a bunch of inhuman, hybrid offspring.

Like the leader of the Anning Path, who is a typical hybrid of a dangerous species and a human, and is known as a forbidden existence.

"Never mind, that's irrelevant. Let's get back to the topic we were discussing earlier, about the results of your drug research."

The bald man sighed; he was just disappointed that he didn't know who the murderer was.

He only cares about killing Gozchi; if he could use that knowledge to train the kids, it would definitely be very effective.

"I have indeed formulated the drug, but I can't reduce its side effects. Although it can instantly boost combat power several times after injection, I estimate that the patient will die from exhaustion of life force after about ten minutes. Is that alright?"

Dr. Fashionable and carefree pointed to the jars to his right rear; the bodies of the prisoners inside had all died from life-threatening exhaustion caused by the injection of drugs.

"Will I die immediately after the injection? Is it possible to neutralize the drug and prolong my life for a few years?"

The head of the assassination department didn't care about the loss of those children; if they died, they could just be replaced with another batch. But for them to die in just over ten minutes was a bit too outrageous.

It's completely useless!

This short-cycle consumption simply doesn't have enough time to cultivate new killers.

"So, I need time to do my research~ If you're in a real hurry, instead of using drugs to enhance your body, why not try methods that modify the human body?"

Dr. Fashion pointed with shining eyes at another row of corpses on display.

She prefers modifying her body to using drugs to enhance it!

But weren't those just piles of corpses too?!

The assassination team, embarrassed, asked, "Is it really feasible? What about the success rate after the modification?"

"Well, it can actually be divided into mechanical modification and modification of dangerous species genes."

Mechanical modification involves concealing powerful weapons within the body for surprise attacks, while the other method requires using the genes of a dangerous species, resulting in an entity comparable to a Level 2 dangerous species. However, the success rate for both is not very high; perhaps only three or four out of a hundred people will succeed.

"No, the failure rate is too high!"

You should know that capturing these orphans is a very troublesome thing, especially those whose physical attributes must be excellent.

Most kids wouldn't even qualify as dog food!

"Then please give me two more years... no, perhaps one year will be enough, because I have discovered a genius who can rival me. If he is willing to help, I believe he can solve the current problem."

Dr. Fashion thought of Yotsuba Mahiro.

Since he was able to complete a task that even he himself had not been able to complete until now, then with his help, completing the body enhancement drug should not be a problem at all!

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you some more time to finish the potion as soon as possible."

After finishing his speech, the head of the assassination department left somewhat dejectedly.

He knew he was asking too much, but he had no other choice.

After all, he needs to produce some results now, and with Gozchi dead, there's no suitable replacement for him in the short term.

That damned Gozchi, why did he have to die now of all times!

They were still killed, which is a huge disgrace to our assassination department!

-------------------------------------

Yotsuba Mahiro was unaware that Dr. Fashion planned to drag her into the research of potions, and continued to follow Esdeath through her so-called recruit training as usual.

However, this sadistic queen's training seems to be getting increasingly perverse...

For example, today, I led them away from the capital and drove nearly 30 kilometers to a clear pool in the dense forest.

The lake spans a distance of nearly 100 meters, which is not particularly wide, and the water is exceptionally clear, so clear that you can even see small fish swimming in it.

But the problem lies with those fish.

Upon seeing the fish, the group trembled and took several steps back.

"No backing up! This is your training exercise for today: swimming. Anyone who swims from here to the other side and then back will pass. Simple, right?"

Looking at the deep blue, gloomy lake, Esdeath revealed a captivating smile.

Simple?

This is even more dangerous than yesterday; it could be fatal!

Chapter 122 Esdeath's Favor (5K)

"E...Lady Esdeath, the lake is too...too dangerous."

Niu stammered.

He really couldn't believe that Esdeath's training was getting more and more brutal.

Upon seeing this, even the well-informed Yotsuba Mahiro felt deeply ashamed.

Who else but Esdeath could come up with the idea of ​​swimming in a pool full of dangerous creatures?

Although these fish are only classified as Level 3 dangerous species, their large numbers and the fact that they are underwater make them no less dangerous than Level 2 dangerous species.

If you threw in a piece of raw meat, it would probably be devoured in an instant.

No wonder Neu was so twisted in the original work. Although her family background contributed to her somewhat distorted personality, I feel that Esdeath deserves more credit for her actions.

They believe in the so-called "might makes right" doctrine and train others using the methods they grew up with.

Even if her methods can indeed cultivate strong individuals, most people simply cannot withstand them.

"Hehe, as long as your movements are vigorous while swimming, there shouldn't be any problems. For a small lake that's 100 meters long, you need to swim to the other side in 20 seconds to ensure your safety."

Who do you plan to go first?

Esdeath turned around, her sharp gaze sweeping over the six people in front of her, finally settling on Yotsuba Mahiro for a moment, seemingly with a hint of anticipation.

The others also didn't sell Yotsuba Mahiro this time.

Instead, she leaned closer and cautiously asked, "So, this time... are you sure you can handle it?"

It was Niu who asked the question, and the others looked at him expectantly.

"Alright, alright, I'll go first."

In the end, Zhenxun took the lead and stepped forward.

"Hmm, that's quite courageous. Do you need me to give you a little guidance on what to do? You can use the surrounding environment to your advantage."

Despite the fact that she chose such a dangerous training program, as an instructor she still thoughtfully provided a guide for reference only.

For example, applying the juice made from the roots and stems of alkaline plants found in the forest to one's clothes and body can prevent attacks.

However, Mahiro waved his hand and said, "No need. You can keep the guide for when you're bored and use it with that collar."

Esdeath isn't exactly a normal person, so how could she possibly offer a normal strategy guide?

Obviously, it doesn't exist.

"hehe."

However, Esdeath showed no anger whatsoever; instead, she laughed, her beautiful, azure eyes narrowing into crescent shapes, making her exceptionally pretty.

"Since it's not necessary, let's begin."

puff-

As soon as Esdeath finished speaking, Mahiro leaped out and jumped into the lake.

He jumped more than 50 meters out of the 100-meter-wide lake in one go, covering half the distance.

Is this okay? !

Their understanding was refreshed once again, but they silently noted down this method, thinking they might try it later to suffer less torment and reduce some danger.

But the strange thing is.

Since Yotsuba Mahiro jumped in, apart from the initial ripples, there has been no further movement, nor any trace of blood from being torn apart by carnivorous fish in the lake.

It was as if my whole body turned into stone and sank to the bottom of a lake.

"Damn it, can't he swim?!"

Seeing the bizarre scene before her, Esdeath was startled, but then realized that this was a sign of drowning!

I don't know why it didn't float up.

Without saying a word, Esdeath immediately took off her military cap and boots, preparing to jump into the lake to save the person.

Although the training is extremely rigorous, Esdeath will ensure their lives are not in danger. She actually cares deeply for her subordinates. Just like yesterday's safety measures, although they were full of wicked humor, if danger were to occur, she would definitely protect them by pulling the chains to save her men.

If Esdeath were to suffer injuries or deaths due to her own mistakes, rather than due to their lack of effort in training, she would take full responsibility.

However, just as she was about to jump into the lake, bubbles suddenly appeared in the center of the lake.

Starting with just one or two, the number gradually increased to a large extent, and then the entire calm lake surface began to tremble.

It was bubbling and releasing a lot of steam, as if it were being boiled.

Gradually, a whirlpool formed, creating air currents that stretched towards the bottom of the lake.

Countless dangerous carnivorous fish species emerged from the lake, their bodies a deep red, clearly already cooked.

You can even clearly see that beneath the dark, deep lake, a reddish-orange glow is now emanating.

"Muspelheim"

Yotsuba Mahiro walked at the bottom of the lake, radiating extreme light and heat like a fire god. The extreme heat evaporated the surrounding area into a vacuum, and the azure arcs of electricity spread across the lake bottom, leaving behind streaks of lava-like crimson.

It even formed a scorching giant storm that shot straight into the sky, chilling the people on the lakeside.

The fierce wind felt like a hot knife scraping against their cheeks.

It's hot.

Even from such a distance, they couldn't help but sweat profusely, partly because of the terrifying scene before them that they would never forget, and partly because the pervasive steam was almost scorching them.

Even the ultimate firepower among Imperial Arms—Purgatory Suicide Rubigand—is probably no more than this, right?

Esdeath alone let the wind whip her long, icy blue hair around.

Her gaze, fixed on the bottom of the lake, shimmered with an unusual light, like a little girl who had found her beloved doll... no, if it were Esdeath, it would be more accurate to say that she had found a toy that could satisfy her desires!

And so, what was originally a swimming training session was turned into an underwater race walk by Yotsuba Mahiro, and by the time he walked back from the other side, the lake water had completely evaporated.

hero!

This is an absolute hero!

The five people on the shore were so moved they almost cried.

For their sake, Yotsuba Mahiro didn't hesitate to reveal his trump card, deliberately evaporating the lake water to exempt them from training.

These five people were practically begging to be taken along, practically kneeling down and begging for a ride.

Actually, it's just because Yotsuba Mahiro can't swim.

Otherwise, why would you just lie on a beach chair and sleep all the time when you're on vacation at the beach?

So this time, he simply evaporated all the lake water, thus completing the training.
