The girl with blue and white hair used her scepter to cut her own finger without even blinking, as if she weren't the one who was injured.

Then, Cerberus gently extended her injured right index finger and touched Esdeath's lips.

What are we supposed to do?

“I’ve already said that, Han Yingjue.”

"If you pass the test, after drinking the blood of the Sword Banner Lord, you should drink mine!"

Esdeath: !!

If this is Lord Caesar's order, I will obey it without question!

Esdeath, from this day forward you will be Lord Caesar's most loyal servant, with no disloyalty whatsoever!

At this moment, the little snake coiled around the branch, and Esdeath's face showed a rare expression of enjoyment and happiness at the same time.

It's so itchy!

Despite her cool words, the sensation from her fingertips still made Krystalla somewhat uncomfortable, but she could only forcefully suppress the urge to pull her fingers away.

Because this is a story that Crydella herself started!

PS: What will Esdeath look like after becoming a Golden Clan member?

Kerritt & Hazel / Akame ga Kill!: Chapter 27 The Native Golden Descendants

Esdeath, like an infant in swaddling clothes, instinctively sucked on the golden blood from Crydella's fingertips.

Esdeath seemed oblivious to the problem within her body, while Crydella, feeling uneasy from the sensation on her fingertips, forgot about some of the finer details…

puff!

The sound was very soft, but which of the three people present was an ordinary person? Naturally, they took in this almost negligible sound.

Krydella and Heather were fine, but their expressions turned somewhat grim after hearing the voice.

Esdeath was different, because the sound even echoed subtly within her body... simply because it originated from within Esdeath's body!

In an instant, Esdeath's face showed a painful expression, and she even stopped drinking the golden blood, collapsing to the ground and rolling around convulsing.

"Ahhh... Ahhhhh!"

The screams continued incessantly, seemingly without end.

Even Crydella and Heather could hardly imagine that the extremely powerful Ice Queen in "Akame ga Kill!" would show such an ugly side, even though she is not very old now.

Crydella frowned and squatted down to examine Esdeath's condition, her expression growing increasingly grim.

"So, an accident did happen after all?"

In just a moment of contact, Crydella understood what had happened inside Esdeath's body. Was it really because her golden blood was too pure?

At first, it was just absorbing the seawater from Heather's stomach, which was the diluted golden blood, and there were no problems.

However, when Crydella's extremely pure golden blood entered Esdeath's stomach, the balance was completely broken!

Although Cerberus is also a member of the Golden Bloodline, unlike other members of the Golden Bloodline, her Golden Bloodline was obtained through an exchange with the Titans of Law.

Some might think that since Crydella was once a mortal, the concentration of golden blood in her body couldn't be very high... but the truth is quite the opposite. Because she made a direct deal with the Titans, the concentration of golden blood in Crydella is almost the highest among all the Golden Blood!

Unlike the Golden Blood descendants born from unions with mortals, Ceridera can almost be considered the "first generation of Golden Blood".

It's almost as if the Titan of Law, Tarranton, directly gave a portion of his golden blood to Cerberus. That's why Esdeath's body underwent such a massive internal change... the rupture of her blood vessels!

How can the flesh and blood of mortals bear the blood of gods?

Thanks to Crydella's help, the golden blood within Esdeath did not immediately reveal any problems. However, as the amount of golden blood increased, its powerful force directly overwhelmed Esdeath's body at that moment.

Indeed, Esdeath's will is incredibly strong; even the blood of a super dangerous species cannot shake her personal will.

However, from a physiological point of view, Esdeath is still just a mortal, and it has nothing to do with her personal will. Her body simply cannot withstand such enormous power, so when the threshold of the Golden Blood reaches its limit, Esdeath's body completely loses its balance.

The golden blood, containing destructive power, surged into Esdeath's body in an instant, and was rushing towards her heart at an extremely fast speed, soon filling her completely.

This can't go on. If we want to save Han Yingjue, we have to inject more blood into her body and then use the power of the law to forcibly complete the transformation into a Golden Descendant.

However, this would inevitably bring Esdeath unprecedented pain, and the probability of failure was not low... because the current Crydella was not the real Crydella; she was merely playing a role and had not yet experienced the true power of the demigod of law.

Moreover, this involves directly using power inside someone else's body; a single misstep could cause Esdeath to explode completely!

A literal explosion!

If Celydella doesn't want Esdeath to completely turn into Esdeath-chan, she has to do something.

"Sword Banner Lord, sing with your power, and leave the rest to me."

Upon receiving the command, Heather nodded and then sang the enchanting song of a siren, which, combined with the authority of the demigod of the sea, directly affected Esdeath.

In an instant, the pain in her body seemed to be relieved. Esdeath felt as if she had fallen into the deep sea. Apart from the feeling of falling, everything else seemed to become less important.

However, this only relieves the pain caused by the burst blood vessels. If the golden blood is not dealt with, Esdeath's final fate will not change.

"Now it's my turn..."

Crydella muttered to herself, putting down her scepter and even cupping Esdeath's face in her hands.

Because of her maritime powers, Esdeath's eyes were somewhat glazed over, which also meant that she was not fully conscious at the moment, and she would not know what Crydella was doing.

"I'm afraid I'll have to make do with this, Han Yingjue. It was indeed my mistake this time, and I will make it up to you later..."

"But now, it's time to solve your problems!"

A slightly apologetic expression flashed across her face before Crydella opened her blood-red mouth and pressed it against Esdeath's neck, looking just like a legendary vampire!

And just like with vampires, if you want to get rid of the unstable blood inside Esdeath's body, sucking it out is a suitable option, and that's what Crydella did.

But is this really good?

The excruciating pain in her neck and the sensation of blood flowing out of her body instantly cleared Esdeath's eyes. Even the slight "nothingness" that came with her ocean powers was ruthlessly shattered by Esdeath, bringing her back to her senses from the confusion.

Moreover, she seemed to realize what Krydella was planning to do, and a determined expression appeared on her face.

"Lord Caesar, please don't abandon everything you've just done. Just do what you believe is right for me!"

"If I can fulfill your expectations, I, Esdeath, will obey your orders even at the cost of my life! I will do anything to achieve that!"

"Go ahead and do it!"

Under Esdeath's gaze, Crydella no longer merely dotted her own body as before, but instead slashed open a huge gash.

For an ordinary person, such a wound would be troublesome. But in Crydella's eyes, it was nothing special; it would heal in no time. The Golden Blood's physique was far superior to that of ordinary people.

This time, Cerlydora no longer intended to make Esdeath drink her golden blood, but instead directly used the "Law" to make the exchange...

I'll use my own blood to exchange for Esdeath's blood!

Golden light enveloped Esdeath's entire body. Her eyes widened, and she remained motionless in one position, even though the pain in her body was more intense than before!

It was precisely because of Esdeath's persistence that things began to develop in a positive direction... Esdeath's own blood gradually turned into flowing gold at this moment.

This also means that the world of "Akame ga Kill!" is about to welcome its first native Golden Blood!

P.S.: Sorry, I was too tired yesterday and forgot to post it after I finished writing it. I woke up at 5:50, so I quickly got back to work...

Kerritsu & Heather / Akame ga Kill! Chapter 28: Esdeath, the Golden Child

at night.

Inside the castle's training grounds, even though it was already nighttime and only a few soldiers were patrolling the area, three figures walked in from outside and headed straight for the largest open space.

Leading the group was a seemingly childlike girl dressed in blue and white, who was undeniably cute, yet possessed an inexplicable air of authority. Behind her followed two completely different, beautiful girls.

"I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. You were fully healed by the evening... It seems you have a lot of talent, Han Yingjue!"

"As Caesar said, I will do my best to nurture you. Be prepared, Blue Fish."

"Yes, sir! I will do my best, Lord Caesar, Lady Hathaway!"

The three people who entered the training ground were Crydella, Hazel, and Esdeath. Their purpose in coming here was to test Esdeath's strength.

A few hours ago, in order to verify her conjecture, Crydella made Esdeath drink golden blood that did not belong to this world.

Despite numerous setbacks, Celydella ultimately achieved her goal: a native Goldborn appeared in the world of "Akame ga Kill!"—Esdeath!

What happened next surprised even Crydella. Esdeath's blood vessels had been completely destroyed by the Golden Blood just a few hours earlier.

However, as time went on, Esdeath's body displayed an extremely powerful regenerative ability, and within just a few hours, she was completely back to her original state, even stronger than before.

To test the strength of this new Goldenborn, Ceryldella took Heather and Esdeath directly to the empty training ground.

"I'll be watching closely; you can make your move now!"

Crydella retreated to the sidelines to observe the upcoming battle as a spectator, while Heather and Esdeath stood about ten meters apart, ready to intervene at any moment.

"Yes, please keep a close eye on me!"

Esdeath didn't know her current strength, but since Lady Crydella was watching, she certainly couldn't afford to lose face.

Even if the opponent is the powerful Heather!

"start!"

As soon as Crydella's voice came, Esdeath immediately rushed forward, but the moment she took a step, she felt an unprecedented power surge into her body.

boom--!

With each step, she created visible cracks in the ground, and Esdeath's body shot out like a cannonball, at a speed that surprised even herself.

Without a doubt, Esdeath has become stronger.

She is now dozens of times stronger than she used to be.

Even so, Esdeath was as powerless as an infant when facing the person before her.

The rapier in her hand was clearly pointed directly at the other's brow, but Hazel seemed to have anticipated it and blocked it with her own sword.

Even though I've become stronger, why has the gap between me and Lady Hazel widened?

Such a question flashed through my mind, but I quickly came to the answer... I was too weak in the past, and I had no way of witnessing Lady Hazel's true strength.

Now that she has become a Golden Descendant, Esdeath has finally glimpsed a portion of Hazel's strength, but even so, the gap between them is still vast.

If this wasn't a test, but a death match, Esdeath could even imagine her head hitting the ground.

But I am still growing, and there is still room for me to improve!

Let Lady Hathaway and Lady Crydella see all of me!

Esdeath is a member of a northern minority group and is not skilled with longswords; she is better suited to using daggers.

After all, when facing dangerous creatures in the snow, Esdeath often chooses to ambush them and then kill them with a single blow!

As for her future style of fighting, which involves large-scale, direct attacks on ice balls, that only began after she obtained the Imperial Arms.

So when Esdeath saw that the sword wasn't working as expected, she didn't hesitate to throw it away and then lay down on the ground like a feline...

Whoosh-!

In the blink of an eye, Esdeath vanished from her spot, just as she had done when she ambushed Dangerous Species, no longer choosing to attack head-on, but instead hiding in a corner where her opponent couldn't see her.

The next second, Heather turned around and grabbed Esdeath's sneak attacking hand with her left hand.

"Han Yingjue, is this all your attacks are capable of? The enhancements that the Golden Blood has given you... are only in your physical attributes?"

Both Heather, who was fighting Esdeath, and Crydella, who was watching from afar, frowned almost simultaneously.

If it's just an improvement in physical abilities, what's the use of such a Golden Descendant? It's not even as good as an Imperial Arms!

Crydella wanted to see Golden Bloods with special abilities, not brutes who relied solely on physical strength.

Esdeath, seemingly sensing Crydella's displeasure, sharpened her gaze.

"No, my power is not limited to this!"

Esdeath didn't panic when she was caught by Hazel. Instead, she took the opportunity to wrap her legs around Hazel's left hand, trying to use her weight to press Hazel down.

But Esdeath seemed to have forgotten that Hazel's other hand was still unused, and that hand held a potentially lethal longsword.

Without any hesitation, Hazel swung her sword at Esdeath, but just as the blade was about to touch her, something unusual happened to Esdeath.

A chill surged from Esdeath's body in that instant, leaving behind a layer of solid ice on her skin that could provide protection, and also slowing down Heather's sword-wielding movements.
