Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 964 Esdeath: How many times have I told you, call me "older sister"!

The intensity of the battle exceeded Chen Luo's expectations.

Perhaps it can no longer be called a battle, but merely a whim of a Super-Special Dangerous Species toying with.

Esdeath's strength is well-known in the world of Akame ga Kill!, especially her ability to control ice. This gives her a huge advantage when fighting a single person, and she can also violently break through giant objects.

Furthermore, Esdeath belongs to a tribe that specializes in hunting dangerous species, and has considerable experience in how to kill them.

In short, Esdeath has a significant advantage when dealing with giant dangerous species.

General Budo, one of the Empire's two pillars, the other being the strongest. He possesses an Imperial Arm that allows him to control lightning.

Like Esdeath, it is an elemental Teigu, which is very advantageous when facing large Dangerous Beasts because it can control lightning over a large area to attack the opponent, and the opponent will not be able to completely dodge due to its huge size.

However, when the strongest of these two empires faced the super-dangerous species in the East Sea Clouds, their fierce attacks were like mud thrown by a child.

The terrifying attack had absolutely no effect.

Ice spikes will be shattered by a single slap from the dragon, and unstoppable lightning will be blocked by the dragon's body hair.

This is a terrifying existence that can create Imperial Arms using only body hair.

The toughness of body hair is enough to stop lightning.

This kind of super dangerous species, which surpasses the Imperial Arms users and is at the top of the entire world, is already a creature of a different level. Chen Luo suspected that even if Akame came and used her one-hit kill to poke a hole in this dragon, the dragon would at most be weakened for a period of time, but would not be killed.

The curse poison is terrifying, but Chen Luo can resist it.

The premise is that Chen Luo wants to resist.

Leaving aside the fact that Akame couldn't possibly come to the capital because she was already wanted, even if Akame did come, how she would deal with the giant dragon soaring in the sky would be a problem.

Akame can't fly.

Only Esdeath and General Budo, both Imperial Arms users with elemental Imperial Arms, could put up a fight against the opponent.

No one else can touch it.

The romantic cannon pumpkin might also achieve remarkable results.

A huge block of ice fell from the sky and crashed near Chen Luo, sending up a large amount of rubble.

Chen Luo tilted the umbrella in his hand slightly, thus blocking the flying stones.

Almost all random items, unless specifically marked, are extremely difficult to destroy, so they can also be used as defensive items.

For example, the umbrella in Chen Luo's hand.

Although it's no longer raining, if Chen Luo closes his umbrella, the strange phenomenon will instantly disappear, the sky will return to white, and the blood moon will vanish like a bubble.

The audience members who were originally sitting in the training ground didn't need to worry. After Chen Luo realized that the situation was no longer under control, he let the people in the training ground leave in an orderly manner.

Chen Luo remembered that both General Budo's Teigu and Esdeath's Teigu were large-area-of-effect (AOE) Teigu, which could easily injure the audience.

Under the influence of Chen Luo's mental abilities, no stampede occurred. Because of the quick and smooth evacuation, no spectators were injured.

Although such an orderly evacuation without any organization would easily attract attention, Esdeath and the others had no interest in observing these things.

As the onlookers who witnessed Chen Luo's murder scattered and fled, the area where the umbrella was cleared gradually expanded.

This situation should have caused further changes in the celestial phenomena, eliminating a wider range of witnesses, but the current situation is no different from before.

It's like... the umbrella's goal from the very beginning was to destroy the entire capital.

And that super dangerous species in the sky does indeed possess this ability.

In fact, with the arrival of night and the blood moon, and the dragon's roar that resounded throughout the entire capital, the entire capital had already fallen into chaos.

Evil began to slowly fester amidst the chaos.

But Chen Luo has a special method to limit this chaos to property damage.

Chen Luo glanced at his umbrella, then at Abi, who was watching beside him wearing sunglasses. Abi was excited and showed no fear whatsoever.

Chen Luo felt that he might be the real messenger of natural disasters, causing natural disasters wherever he went.

Such a situation, where a large amount of magic power is drawn to condense a blood moon, is probably rare, because the people watching at the time were among the most powerful beings in this world.

Esdeath and General Bud are completely unafraid of most of the world's natural disasters.

With a strong wind, Esdeath can create an ice cave for herself.

In the face of torrential rain, Esdeath could even freeze the rain itself.

Not to mention tsunamis; Esdeath is capable of single-handedly creating storms and freezing entire wide, rushing rivers.

Meteorites? That could indeed cause devastating damage.

However, if Esdeath used countless ice balls, almost the same size as the meteorite, to continuously counteract its impact, there might actually be a tiny chance she could survive.

But after that dangerous species appeared in the sky, everything seemed to have a predetermined ending.

"Whoosh!" An arrow that seemed capable of piercing stars shot towards the dragon soaring in the sky. The arrow, imbued with a gale, was deflected the moment it approached the dragon, and along with the gale, it shot towards the ice block attacking the dragon, shattering the ice block into pieces.

"No, the wind is too strong. Although the gale can enhance the Elf Bow's endurance, allowing me to shoot arrows with the help of the wind, that dangerous creature in the sky seems to also have the ability to control the wind. It can even deflect my arrows to achieve a defensive purpose." Sayo shook her head as she shot another arrow, looking at the giant dragon in the sky.

Dragons follow the wind, tigers follow the clouds.

If this dragon really only had its body hair as a useful resource, it would have been skinned, dismembered, and hunted long ago. Perhaps one of the 48 Imperial Arms would even be a top-tier Imperial Arm.

While the situation seems to be at a stalemate, and the human side doesn't appear to be at a disadvantage, this is only true if we ignore the mocking look in the dragon's blood-red eyes in the sky.

Super-dangerous species possess the ability to communicate across species, which means they have their own intelligence and may even be smarter than ordinary humans, given their long lifespan.

When an intelligent creature encounters a weak ant that has once provoked it, its first instinct is naturally to inflict abuse and vent its anger.

Especially after this dragon went berserk, it became even more irrational.

"Can't we run away? Let General Bude and Esdeath fight here?" Ieyas asked.

“Probably not.” Lubbock shook his head.

“I have a feeling that part of his anger is because of me, or more precisely, because of my Imperial Arms.” Lubbock looked down at the Thousand Transformations: Cross Tail in his hand, and even his smile vanished.

“My Crosstail Imperial Arm was plucked from a Dangerous Species in the clouds of the East Blue, and that Boundary Severance is a crucial hair that protects its vital organs. This dragon is probably that Dangerous Species. If I run away, it might not just be this training ground that gets injured, but the entire Imperial Capital. You should leave first,” Lubbock said.

"Why don't we just leave this Imperial Arm here? We can just leave it and run away."

“Don’t imagine Super-Special Dangerous Species to be so stupid; they have intelligence too. The moment he discovered me, I was already trapped. So the only ones who can leave are you.” Lubbock sighed.

"No, we'll go together!" Although they had only known each other for a few days, Tatsumi and his friends were still very loyal to each other.

"Lolo, do you have a solution?" After realizing the situation seemed hopeless, the first person Shayou turned to was Chen Luo.

"What can I do? I'm just a weak, pitiful, and helpless ordinary person."

"And what about your soul lamp?"

"The Soul Lamp is only useful for sinners. Do you think he's a human being?" Chen Luo said, pointing at the giant dragon in the sky while holding an umbrella.

"Whether someone is guilty or not is a relative matter. I can indeed burn the souls of sinners, but the problem is that whether someone is a sinner is not for me to define. Wolves eat sheep, tigers eat wolves, and humans eat tigers; this is the result of natural survival, and has nothing to do with sin. Therefore, the sins of living beings cannot be judged in the same way as those of humans. Ultimately, the Soul Lamp is originally an Imperial Arm for humanoid beings." Chen Luo shook his head.

"And are you sure that if the soul fire touches him, it will make him escape instead of driving him even mad from the pain?"

"..." Everyone was stunned.

"If Akame were here, she could kill him in one blow."

"But can a one-hit kill really work on a dragon?"

"Stop attacking! If you move again, I'll take you all out! You're more trouble than you're worth!" Just as everyone was discussing how to resolve the issue, a cold voice rang out, followed by the sound of a heavy object hurtling towards them.

Everyone instinctively looked in that direction and saw a huge block of ice flying towards them, getting very close.

There was a figure standing on the ice block. Just as the ice block was about to hit the ground, the figure stepped on the ice block and then landed slowly and lightly, while the ice block crashed directly to the ground.

"You're the Night Raid members, right?" Esdeath asked coldly as she landed.

Esdeath isn't stupid; she saw what was happening here, especially Sayo, who kept shooting whirlwind arrows that shattered her own ice.

With so many Teigu users gathered here, who would believe they weren't from the same organization? And probably only Night Raid could gather so many Teigu users without official connections, right?

"Uh, you misunderstand. We're not Night Raid members. We just came to watch the match and occasionally got together. Teigu users are attracted to each other," Lubbock quickly explained.

"Heh." Esdeath sneered and looked at Lubbock as if she were a fool.

Then, he didn't forget to conjure a giant ice ball in the air and smash it towards the dragon in the sky.

"Look, Lolo!" After realizing that words couldn't fool Esdeath, Lubbock pointed directly at Chen Luo, who was holding an umbrella.

The ultimate secret: Innovation and diversion of attention!

"Hmm?" Esdeath frowned upon hearing the name Lolo.

The Empire's martial arts arena is like a gladiatorial arena, with the audience seating arranged from low to high from the outside in, and Chen Luo was sitting in the first row, the lowest seat.

Esdeath's view of Chen Luo was blocked by the umbrella when she looked at him.

Esdeath noticed the figure with the umbrella when she was at the highest point, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Upon hearing Lubbock specifically mention this matter in front of her, and recalling the news from the Revolutionary Army, Esdeath placed her fingers on the oiled paper umbrella and then slowly shifted it away.

But after shifting slightly, the oil-paper umbrella automatically tilted to one side, shielding Abby from the tiny ice fragments that had fallen from the sky after being shattered by the dragon's slap, while revealing the true face of the person under the umbrella.

"Long time no see, Esdeath." Chen Luo turned his head and greeted Esdeath from above.

From Chen Luo's perspective, behind Esdeath was the blood moon hanging high in the sky.

Despite the ominous presence of the blood moon, Esdeath standing beneath it appeared perfectly at ease.

"..." Esdeath squinted at the person who called her by her first name.

"Slap!" Esdeath slapped Chen Luo on the head.

"How many times have I told you? Call me 'older sister.' And, it's been a long time." Hearing this familiar address, and seeing the soul lamp that suddenly appeared beside Chen Luo like a flame, Esdeath confirmed the identity of the person before her.

Calling herself by her own name instead of her sister confirms it's definitely her.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning flashed and struck the dragon, but it was completely unharmed.

"Honestly, I didn't want to use it now, but since you're here, let's deal with this big guy as soon as possible. Remember to catch me later." Esdeath said, kicking Chen Luo's lower back with the toe of her thigh-high boots that were encased in her fair and slender thighs.

The young emperor, escorted by his ministers and Esdeath's three chieftains, has already headed to the palace, intending to activate the Supreme Imperial Arms.

Only in the Imperial Palace can the young emperor activate the Supreme Imperial Arms.

But now it seems there's no time to delay it any longer.

Esdeath could see that the playful look in the dragon's eyes had almost completely disappeared.

Now, the other side is getting serious—this is based on Esdeath's years of experience hunting dangerous species.

"It's possible, but what do you plan to do?"

"Take it down!" Esdeath grinned excitedly, and then an ice pillar, just big enough for one person to stand on, suddenly appeared beneath her feet, propelling her into the sky.

The ice blocks rose higher and higher, like vines growing from magic beans, fiercely stabbing towards the giant dragon that was circling low in the sky.

A fierce wind howled, and countless sharp winds gathered around that enormous, dangerous creature, swirling like turbulent currents towards the ice pillar and Esdeath on it.

Seeing the wind blade about to crash into her, Esdeath made a strange hand gesture in front of her chest.

"Mokopotmo!"

The whole world was covered in the color of ice and snow, and Esdes, using the propulsion from the ice pillars, leaped upwards, dodging the wind blades, and once again used the suddenly appearing ice blocks to leap towards the dragon, quickly condensing a 10-meter-long slender ice cone in his hand.

The dragon's entire body is covered in tough fur, except for its eyes, which are its weak point. However, whenever Eszes and General Bud attack its eyes, it can simply close them to block all the damage.

But if it's a frozen spacetime, let's see how you close your eyes!

Esdeath had already expended a lot of energy, and after using this even more energy-consuming ultimate move, she probably wouldn't have many more opportunities to attack.

But a 10-meter ice spike is enough to smash someone's brain!

Just as the tip of the ice spike was about to pierce the dragon's eye, Esdeath saw a human-like mockery in the dragon's normally lifeless eyes, and then the dragon closed its eyes.

Because there is only one chance, destroying the eyeball alone is not enough, so the ice pick needs to be longer, but longer means a thinner tip.

The ice spikes shattered inch by inch under the protection of the dragon's eyelids, unable to penetrate the eyelids' defenses, while the dragon's sharp claws slammed down!

Freezing time and space is indeed invincible, but you first need to be able to freeze it.

Even Chen Luo's time-stopping technique couldn't trap the enemy, let alone the time-space freeze derived from freezing.

Since Umbrella chose this dragon as its target, it means that this dragon has the ability to destroy everyone present, including Esdeath.
