The demon monk in the second dimension

"That idiot father of mine, how could he suddenly be killed by the young emperor? He's such a disgrace to me! It doesn't matter if you're dead, but now it'll be much harder for me to become emperor!"

It was a scene of filial piety that made people die.

Because of Ernest's death, several of his men immediately began to stir up trouble.

"She looks like a little girl, but she's actually old enough to be Grandma Sheila," Dortya said in a very old-fashioned manner.

“Sila, I only came here because I heard your father was a minister who allowed me to drink his blood at will. Now that the minister is dead, I’m leaving unless you have another reason.”

Wearing a gorgeous dress that looked like it was for a ball, as glamorous as a dazzling star, Kosmia, who actually enjoyed toying with men, also spoke up.

“That’s right! Now that I’ve escaped the Western Kingdom, I can start hunting again in the Empire.”

The others looked at Sheila with suspicion, just as the others did.

If he cannot give them a satisfactory answer, these people from the dark world will immediately break up.

Seeing that his men were about to rebel, Sheila became even more agitated.

"Hmph, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to pull off a big heist!"

Enraged, he decided to go all the way.

"Would you like to become famous worldwide? How about joining me to assassinate the emperor of the empire?"

"Assassinate the Emperor?"

Izou, who was not a Teigu user but whose combat power was no less than that of his own, was eager to perform a blood sacrifice on his beloved sword "Koyuki" with his own blood, but he quickly hesitated.

"Even I have heard of General Esdeath, who massacred 400,000 northern barbarians, and General Budo, who can wield the power of thunder. Although we outnumber them, the palace must be heavily guarded. Assassinating the emperor won't be easy, will it?"

"My Shangri-La has recorded the locations of several palaces. It can definitely teleport you directly to the palace and take down the weak little emperor!"

Sheila explained, having received the information.

"Furthermore, General Bud led the Imperial Guard out of the capital to patrol the surrounding areas, and Esdeath also led several Imperial Arms users to clear out the dangerous species around the capital, leaving the Imperial Palace's defenses extremely weak!"

"Once the young emperor dies, I'll contact my father's men to launch an uprising! The revolutionary army certainly won't let this opportunity pass!"

At this point, Sheila revealed a cruel expression and made a promise to her men.

"Once the empire descends into chaos, I will conquer a vast territory. At that time, you can do whatever you want on my land without anyone holding you accountable!"

Before long, these men were convinced by Sheila's plan.

Dortya licked her lips.

"I haven't drunk the emperor's blood yet!"

"The emperor of the empire is only fourteen years old, isn't he? He's still just a child!"

Kosmia's eyes sparkled.

"I will never let him get away with this!"

He gripped the hilt of his beloved knife, his expression one of excitement.

"If it's the emperor's blood, it will definitely make Jiang Xue even stronger!"

Pirate Flameheart and Champo, the serial clown killer targeting children, had no objections.

Everyone was excited about Sheila's plan.

Assassinating the emperor of the empire, that would be fantastic!

……

Imperial Arms are powerful weapons made using legendary super dangerous species as materials, along with rare metals such as Ohari Steel and a large number of long-lost secret techniques.

Only those whose temperament matches that of the Imperial Arm and who are recognized by it can use it; otherwise, they will have their physical strength and life force absorbed in large quantities.

Some Imperial Arms come at a considerable cost when used.

For ordinary people, using even one Imperial Arm requires a great deal of energy, so under normal circumstances, no one can use two Imperial Arms.

But the summer solstice is clearly not something that ordinary people experience.

Chapter 256 Sheila's Miscalculation

He held Akame's Murasame in one hand and Yafusa in the other; both Imperial Arms obeyed him obediently, showing no intention of resisting.

"Your Majesty is so amazing!"

Akame, Kurome, and Mine applauded in amazement.

⊙_⊙、⊙０⊙、⊙▽⊙

"Adding His Majesty's [Flesh Derivation: Undying Demon], this is equivalent to controlling three Imperial Arms. There has never been a case in history where someone could use three Imperial Arms simultaneously!"

Xia Zhi smiled.

"General Esdeath should be able to do it too."

Returning Murasame to Akame, and seeing Kurome's longing gaze towards Hachifusa, Natsumi flicked her forehead.

"oops!"

Black Eyes: (>_<)

She crouched down, covering her head, looking at Xia Zhi pitifully like a kitten, but he still rejected her.

“No. Yafusa is a Teigu that absorbs the life force of its master once it is used. Although I have healed you, your lifespan has been greatly reduced. You can only choose to use other Teigu or Servants.”

Seeing Xia Zhi refuse, Hei Tong turned his head and looked at Mine.

Mine immediately bristled.

"I won't give it to you! The Pumpkin Turret was a gift from the BOSS, no, it was given to me by General Najenda!"

After spending a few days together, the girls found that Xia Zhi treated them equally, and that there weren't as many rules in the palace as they had imagined. They gradually regained their lively personalities and stopped being so rigid, afraid of making a mistake.

The palace maids and eunuchs, however, believed that Xia Zhi’s special treatment of them clearly meant something else, and they dared not offend these three men.

After the minister's death, Xia Zhi carried out sweeping reforms and had many things to deal with every day, so she rarely had time to stroll around the palace.

A eunuch approached and spoke respectfully to Xia Zhi.

"Your Majesty, Major Leone has arrived with a dangerous species."

A few days ago, on the summer solstice, a military rank system was implemented in the army.

Apart from Esdeath, who was awarded the rank of general, all the other hunters held the rank of major.

Summer Solstice nodded gently.

"Bring Major Leone over here."

Soon, Leone and the guards pushing the cart came over.

The cart was full of the carcasses of dangerous species that the hunter team had hunted around the capital in the past few days.

"Leone greets Your Majesty!"

Leone bowed to Xia Zhi first, then stood up and hugged Akame and Mine tightly with a smile.

"Red Eyes, Mine!"

"Leone!"

While the group was chatting, Xia Zhi came to the cart and placed her hand on the corpse of the dangerous creature.

Soon, Xia Zhi absorbed these corpses, strengthening his physical body.

Afterwards, Xia Zhi inquired about the hunters' progress from Leone.

She stated that the dangerous species surrounding the capital have been largely eliminated, and the safety of the people living around the capital is now guaranteed.

Xia Zhi nodded gently, satisfied.

"Thank you for your hard work, Major Leone. Now, please invite General Esdeath to the palace. I have a new mission for you."

……

Not long after, Esdeath entered the palace.

Xia Zhi summoned her to his study.

"General Esdeath, you've had a hard time these past few days."

"This is all in service of the empire."

Esdeath bowed slightly to Xia Zhi, a hint of amusement on her lips.

"Moreover, hunting dangerous species is a very interesting recreational activity for me, and I also enjoy hunting when I have free time."

"The reason I invited the general to the palace this time is because I have a new task for you."

In a few words, Xia Zhi got straight to the point.

He handed Esdeath a bundle of files and put his hands behind his back as he spoke.

"The minister had previously placed people in Anning Road as assistants to the Anning Road leader and was highly trusted by him. But since the minister's death, he has not sent any intelligence about Anning Road for more than ten days. General Esdeath, take the hunters there."

A cold glint appeared in Xia Zhi's eyes.

"If he has betrayed the Empire, then kill him, and then invite the leader of the Anning Dao to meet with me. The Anning Dao has grown too powerful and has become a destabilizing factor for the Empire. I hope this leader can give me a satisfactory answer."

Esdeath looked at the dossier and accepted the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

That night, Xia Zhi went to bed in his palace.

Akame, Kurome, and Mine slept in the small cubicle next door.

Around 1 a.m., a purplish-red light suddenly appeared from Xia Zhi's bedside.

The light formed a magic circle, and soon several figures appeared from it.

The moment the light appeared, Xia Zhi was awakened.

But he remained calm, only focusing an eye from his neck, which was covered by green hair, and looking into the palace.

Then Xia Zhi immediately spotted Sheila, who was at the head of the group.

"They actually delivered themselves to my doorstep? Are they planning to take my life and avenge the minister?"

Although Sheila and the others moved very quietly, Akame and Kurome were immediately awakened.

Both were assassins, skilled in both assassination and defense, and extremely sensitive to changes in their surroundings.

boom!

The two kicked over the wooden screen, drew their swords, and rushed into Xia Zhi's room. When they saw so many people standing next to the sleeping Xia Zhi, their pupils shrank.

"Oops!"

"His Majesty!"

Just then, Sheila reacted quickly, grabbing Xia Zhi by the neck and dragging him in front of her.

"do not move!"

He sized up the two sisters, whose faces were filled with murderous intent, his eyes gleaming with lust.

"Heh heh heh, aren't these Akame and Kurome? I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain!"

Shera clenched her right hand, trying to buy time with the summer solstice.

"If you move even one more time, I'll—"

puff!

Blood flowed continuously from Sheila's body.

Xia Zhi grabbed Shangri-La from Xila's hand, and a dozen fleshy tentacles extended from behind her and pierced through her.

"idiot."

At this moment, Sheila's men shared a surprisingly similar sentiment to Xia Zhi.

"Sheila, you idiot!"

"Damn it!"
