Their commission was suspicious.

The dragon smelled a familiar scent on Esdeath, the scent of an old rival, but Esdeath was still much more naive.

"Bang!" The enormous dragon claw was incredibly powerful. Even though Esdeath instantly created a thick layer of ice as a shield, she was still blasted downwards like a cannonball by the terrifying force.

Chapter 965 Mercury Lamp: Holy Light, that enemy is worth fighting!

Esdeath's Teigu is Devil's Essence, a blood-type Teigu without a physical form. Therefore, its secret techniques are customized based on the individual's level of development.

But Esdeath embodies the [Mahāpratimāra].

Esdeath's [Mokpa Tho] is so powerful that it can even freeze time and space, but it is not a pure time stop. So if the target of the skill has ice resistance, they may be able to move in the frozen time and space.

For example, the Dragon of the East Sea and Chen Luo just now.

The Dragon of the East Sea is because the Dragon of the East Sea may have fought with the prototype of Esdeath's Teigu, and its own strength is indeed strong enough.

Chen Luo's strength stemmed from the increased elemental resistances granted by the Eye of the Elements. Furthermore, Chen Luo possessed time-manipulating items and even the Heart of the Ice God.

Having either time resistance or freeze resistance should allow you to move around within the [Mokpa Temo].

However, no one could detect that Chen Luo was able to move freely in the frozen spacetime, because the only thing that could be detected was falling from the sky.

But what's even stranger is that Chen Luo discovered that Abby could also move around in this frozen spacetime, seemingly unaffected by the time-space freeze.

This reminded Chen Luo of another title for the One Who Unifies All Things, as recorded in the Book of Bubbles: "The Ruler of Time and Space."

hiss.

However, these issues can be addressed later, as the time freeze was lifted moments after Esdeath was knocked away.

This time-space freeze couldn't be maintained for very long to begin with, and with Esdeath being attacked, the time-space freeze instantly disintegrated, and everyone saw Esdeath fall from the sky.

General Bud, who was also standing at the top controlling the lightning attack on the dragon hovering low in the sky, saw this situation, but the general was unable to help.

The general needs to suppress the dragon here. At least this dragon is less resistant to lightning than to ice. As lightning continues to bombard the dragon, many parts of its fur have turned black.

This is also one of the reasons why Shenlong did not participate.

On one hand, it's silly for a flying creature to fall to the ground; on the other hand, it's easier to unleash destructive urges when teasing from above; and on the other hand, that lightning is really annoying.

Seeing Esdeath descend from the sky, Chen Luo threw the Soul Lamp in his hand directly at Esdeath.

Chen Luo's actions puzzled the others, who wondered why he had thrown the soul lamp away.

He panicked when he saw his sister being beaten?

After throwing the soul lamp, Chen Luo placed the oil-paper umbrella in Abi's hand.

"Hold this for me, I'll be right back. Also, don't close the umbrella." After saying that, Chen Luo disappeared instantly.

Suddenly, a burst of fire erupted from the soul lamp that was thrown at Esdeath. The eerie blue flames shot out and formed the size of a person.

"Bang!" The flames instantly dissipated, revealing Chen Luo's figure inside, and at that moment, Esdeath, who had fallen from the sky, crashed into Chen Luo's arms.

Esdeath was already gradually losing momentum during her fall, and the counterforce generated after Chen Luo caught her reduced the impact of her fall to a minimum.

"Wow, so handsome!" Sayo exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

The sight of Chen Luo leaping out of the flames deeply shocked Sha You and the others who witnessed it.

Although there are transformation-type Imperial Arms in this world, and even teleportation-type spatial Imperial Arms, jumping out of flames is indeed very cool.

The entire training ground was now empty, but it wasn't without soldiers on duty. Besides Esdeath and General Bud, who were at the peak of their strength, there were also some elite soldiers watching the monster hovering in the sky with trepidation.

"Well done." After Chen Luo landed, Esdeath, who was being held in Chen Luo's arms, praised him and then jumped out of his arms.

"A terrifying enemy." Esdeath then looked solemnly at the East Sea Dragon in the sky, who was about to become serious.

Even my ultimate move couldn't sneak up on it, this is a big problem.

The terrifying pressure emanating from the Dragon of the East Sea assaulted everyone's nerves, sending chills down their spines.

"Run! Remember to find me after the war. Leave the training grounds, even leave the capital," Esdeath said, glancing at Chen Luo.

"You can run away?" Chen Luo looked at Esdeath curiously.

Esdeath doesn't seem like the type to run away.

“I’m telling you to run, not that I’m running myself. I’m a general of the Empire, so I have a responsibility to protect this Empire, but you’re just an ordinary civilian, and there’s absolutely no need for you to participate in this battle,” Esdeath said.

"Furthermore, when hunting dangerous species, if you find that the species is too powerful, it is the most basic tactic to temporarily avoid the enemy's strength and then regroup. Have you forgotten these family experiences?"

"I'm not in charge of hunting dangerous species, I'm just here to be a decoration." Chen Luo picked up the soul lamp in his hand.

“This is a priest, not a decoration. You’re the only one in the entire tribe who doesn’t respect priests.” Esdeath glared fiercely at Chen Luo.

Esdeath's family is a family that hunts dangerous species, and there is no room for useless people in this family.

Most ethnic groups or villages living on the borders of the empire have some kind of faith, and the Balutus are no exception.

But priests who can use the Soul Lamp are truly useful, and very useful at that.

Therefore, in the Baltus tribe, if no priest is born who can use the Soul Lamp, then the clan leader, who is Esdeath's father, is the highest authority. But once someone is born who can use the Soul Lamp, then the priest is the highest authority.

"But now it seems there's no way to escape even if you want to." The moment Chen Luo finished speaking, a huge dragon tail swept across the edge of the martial arts arena, directly smashing a huge gap in the massive arena.

"We've gotten tired of that Dangerous Species; it's time to get serious," Esdeath said warily.

"Roar!"

The third dragon roar resounded, and countless gales swept around the giant dragon circling low in the sky. The clouds above the East Sea Dragon were also affected by the gales, gathering once more.

"Boom!" A huge crimson lightning bolt flashed through the blood-red clouds, and the next moment the observation deck at the highest point of the entire training ground exploded.

"Is that where General Bud is located?" Sayo asked worriedly.

Although Esdeath and General Bud are the Revolutionary Army's greatest enemies, the current situation is different. The greatest threat now is the dangerous species right in front of us.

Of the Imperial Arms users present, only Esdeath and General Budo had the ability to control or restrain the dragon.

Sayo is no good. Sayo's Gale Arrows could even be used by the dragon to resist and shatter the lightning and ice.

Leone? They don't have air combat capabilities, they can't even get up there, they can only be cheerleaders, just decorations here.

Esdeath and General Budo are troublesome as enemies, but reassuring as teammates.

But the invincible General Bude is gone!

"Don't worry, that old guy won't die. Now you should all worry about yourselves," Esdeath said.

After the lightning bolt fell from the sky and shattered the observation deck, it seemed to trigger some kind of command. Countless bolts of lightning poured down and bombarded the training ground. Each bolt of lightning was enough to pierce through the thick training ground, but strangely enough, although some people were injured, no one died.

But now the area affected by the lightning is gradually expanding, as if it is about to engulf the entire capital.

Even sitting in the training ground, Chen Luo could hear the sounds of turmoil in the capital.

"Boom!" Lightning struck the location where Chen Luo and the others were, but it was blocked by a huge block of ice. In return, the ice block turned into ice powder and disappeared in all directions.

After the lightning began to gather, Chen Luo and his group became the hardest-hit area.

Or rather, Lubbock is actually the one who attracts the most hatred, because the Imperial Arm he wields is made from the body hair of that dangerous being above.

However, because Esdeath and General Budo kept attacking and restraining the East Sea Dragon, the East Sea Dragon had no time to pay attention to Lubbock.

That's why Lubbock didn't dare to run away; otherwise, he would have died countless times by now if he had faced the East Sea Dragon alone.

Throwing away the Imperial Arms was useless, because Lubbock had already been tainted by the Imperial Arms' scent.

They couldn't run away, because one of the dragon's targets was Lubbock, so these companions wouldn't abandon their comrades.

Since I can't fight back, I can only be a cheerleader.

"Ahem." Esdeath coughed twice.

"Alright, you guys really should run now. I'm almost out of energy and can't withstand many more lightning strikes. I was the one who attacked him just now, so if you run away, you should be safe from the attacks," Esdeath said to Chen Luo, her tone unusually urgent.

Esdeath had no idea that the dragon from the East Sea in the sky had attacked them because of Lubbock; she thought it was because of her earlier attack on him.

Lubbock and Leone exchanged a glance, and when they looked at Esdeath, who had her back to them, they both felt a stirring in their hearts.

Putting aside all other factors, now should be the best time to kill Esdeath, right?

However, since the other party had helped them so many times, even though Esdeath was in a weakened state, it was really difficult to make a move.

But Esdeath is the biggest obstacle to the Revolutionary Army, bar none.

This is a conflict between public and private interests.

Once Chen Luo moved behind Esdeath and blocked their view, they completely abandoned the idea and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should we do now, Luo Luo?" Sha You asked Chen Luo anxiously.

Quickly use your invincible Gensokyo support group to think of a solution!

Shayou is the only one among them who is from Chen Luo Bar.

"Now, we can only hope for a miracle," Chen Luo said, looking at the dangerous creature above.

"Alright, A Luo, time's up. I can't hold on much longer. The people in this capital are all so confused." The Herrscher of Knowledge, who had appeared beside Chen Luo at some point, said.

"No way, you're the Herald of Knowledge, how long have you only lasted?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.

"You have no idea how many bastards there are in this group. Even though I am the Herrscher of Consciousness, and I used all my abilities with the Silver Feather to try to control their thoughts of looting, arson, and other crimes, while I did prevent any deaths in the capital during the chaos, this was my limit. I could only last ten minutes at most, and after that, I couldn't hold on any longer," the Herrscher of Consciousness said with a frustrated expression.

According to Wilvi, since it's a magic show, the goal is to ensure that the audience doesn't get hurt.

Therefore, Chen Luo not only used his destiny ability to deflect the trajectory of all the lightning bolts falling from the sky, ensuring that no one would be hurt, or at most only slightly, but also got the Herrscher of Knowledge to help control the entire capital.

When chaos erupts in a city and order is lost, evil thoughts will take hold, especially in a capital city that is itself a hellish place.

Looting, vandalism, and arson are just the basics. Murder, arson, and rape are the real main events.

The Herrscher of Knowledge's job is to use the two Divine Keys, Feather Dust and Silver Feather Dust, along with her Herrscher of Knowledge, Inner Demon, and Nightmare abilities, to control the entire Imperial Capital and keep criminals in check.

At most, it can only cause property loss, but not personal injury.

The perpetrators will compensate for financial losses once order is restored, but once a person is dead, they are truly dead.

The Herrscher of Knowledge was also frustrated. In a normal city, she could maintain order for a day, but this was the capital city of the Akame ga Kill! world!

To throw this runaway city into chaos is like throwing a match into a biogas digester.

Those who understand the laws of nature feel that being able to control the situation for such a long time is already a significant achievement.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning shattered another block of ice.

"Boom!" But after one bolt of lightning was extinguished, another bolt struck down immediately.

Esdeath, having used the [Mokupta] and wasted a lot of energy on the entanglement with the East Sea Dragon, still had some stamina and energy left, but it was far less than before.

Seeing the lightning bolt about to strike, but with only a thin layer of ice that had been hastily condensed, Esdeath instinctively leaped backward.

But Esdeath forgot that Chen Luo was right behind her, and ended up bumping into Chen Luo's arms, forcing the two of them to sit down together.

Chen Luo was in the audience, and Esdeath sat on his lap.

"Lolo!"

"careful!"

"Bang!" But after the lightning bolt easily shattered the thin layer of ice, it was easily blocked by an oil-paper umbrella.

"It seems you're not very strong. You should take a rest." Feeling the Herrscher of Knowledge's murderous gaze, Chen Luo carried Esdeath to the seat next to him and said softly.

"Of course I can rest, but it doesn't seem to be planning to give us a chance." Esdeath didn't struggle after Chen Luo forcibly pressed her into her seat. Instead, she quietly watched the East Sea Dragon unleash its power.

I'm tired, I can't play anymore.

Okay, I'm tired, but not completely exhausted.

She could certainly continue fighting, but after using her secret technique, Esdeath could only defend after throwing a few ice spikes.

But the ice spikes couldn't even break through the opponent's defense.

If the opponent launches a double attack, Esdeath still cannot guarantee that she can defend against it.

If it weren't a double attack but a barrage of attacks, Esdeath would really have no choice but to run, and if the enemy were to pursue her relentlessly, she might not be able to escape.

But running away was something Esdeath found very difficult to accept.

Besides, Esdeath also wanted to see what surprises Chen Luo, who had just saved her, had in store for her.

That umbrella, is it a Teigu (Imperial Armor)?

Countless bolts of lightning were gathering momentum within the blood-red clouds, but just as the lightning was about to strike, countless feathers began to drift in the sky. Countless black feathers surged wildly into the blood-red clouds, and the surging lightning that was gathering momentum slowly fell silent.
