You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Clang!

The ice blade that could cut steel was pinched by two ordinary-looking fingers, as if it was fixed in space, unable to move forward or backward, and unable to move at all.

"You misunderstood, I have always been serious.

After all, ice is actually very fragile, and carving it into a beautiful work of art requires the craftsman's skills in controlling force.

Otherwise, it will shatter like glass."

laugh!

No one saw how the boy made his move, but Esdeath's beautiful face, filled with shock, was stained with blood in the blink of an eye.

"Just like this."

Volume 3: Yhwach, Don’t Sleep Too Deeply!

Chapter 162: Shura Field? Come on, more violently! (4K)

"call!"

Like a drowning person, Esdeath took a deep breath and opened her eyes. Her body shook slightly, and she seemed to feel the softness of the bed before she calmed down.

She raised her hands in disbelief: "Am I... still alive?"

"Dead bodies can't talk."

A cold and pleasant voice sounded, and a white figure stood beside the bed, looking down at her calmly.

"I still have some confidence in the healing technique. How do you feel physically?"

"Body?"

Esdeath sat up from the bed, and the thin silk quilt slipped off her body, revealing her well-built and enchanting waist curve. Her skin as white as ice and snow was very dazzling in the sun, and her plump upper body was wrapped in circles of bandages all the way to her shoulders.

Feeling the sharp tearing pain, she belatedly touched her chest with a dazed look on her face.

Although she lost consciousness at the end of the battle, if I remember correctly, the last scene was her body being cut open...

"I wonder why I am still 'complete'?"

Sera placed the used bandages and medicine on a silver tray and asked the maid to take it out, while she explained to her while washing the stains on her hands.

"I don't know what your perspective is, but the wound from that sword is actually very small. It just grazed the edge of the heart and went through the body without damaging any important internal organs or arteries. It can only be considered a flesh wound."

If it were a Servant, this level of damage could be repaired quickly as long as there was a supply of magic power. Human flesh would be a little more troublesome, but after Sera's treatment, it has healed on the surface, and there are still some minor injuries that require slow recovery.

The pain that Esdeath felt was actually the stimulation of the pain nerves caused by the new tissue during the running-in period.

"…Just because of this, I have the illusion that I was killed?"

The Ice Queen was silent for a long time, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Suddenly, she began to untie the bandages on her body. As the exposed area became larger and larger, her hemisphere began to shake. The maid serving beside her hurriedly took out a bathrobe-style white pajamas and put it on her.

Esdeath did not mind showing off her beautiful figure. Even the loose pajamas could not completely cover her upper body. The blue demon mark and the fair and plump northern hemisphere formed a very tempting picture.

Sera looked at the queen meaningfully, with a hint of envy hidden in her red eyes.

In terms of appearance alone, Sera and Esdeath are both stunningly beautiful. Sera is slightly inferior to the extremely aggressive Esdeath in temperament, but she is more refined than Esdeath.

But if you compare their figures... Esdeath is 1.7 meters tall and has the aura of 1.8 meters. Both her size and proportions are perfect, neither exaggerated nor shabby. She is an ideal queen.

Tsk, damn it!

If I had known that I would have slightly "optimized" my body data when I used the [Heavenly Grail], I could have covered it up by saying that something went wrong with the ritual... Wouldn't it be too obvious to move now? It should be fine if I was a little more careful, right?

For example, if you want to grow your height by five centimeters, no, three centimeters... and then grow two centimeters after half a year, it won't look unnatural.

And Oppai...

"Where is Aizen Iori?"

"Next door... huh?" Sera came back to her senses and was about to ask Esdeath what she wanted to do, but the Ice Queen, who was only wearing a nightgown, pushed the maid open and walked out of the room.

She didn't even wear shoes, walking barefoot on the cold marble floor, and turned a corner to come to the side hall, which was where the emperor took a temporary rest after handling government affairs during the day. It was equivalent to half of a bedroom, and even the guards were specially selected female officials.

When the maids saw General Esdeath walking towards them with a cold face, they mustered up the courage to stop her, but a faint voice rang in their ears:

"Let her in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"..."

Just like that, Esdeath pushed open the door roughly without any hindrance, and the people inside looked over in surprise.

"Ok?"

She was surprised. She originally thought that Iori was the only one there, but she didn't expect that Nadezhda, Chelsea and Akame were also there. You have to know that this is the emperor's private area, not a study for receiving ministers.

But if you think about it carefully, including her, these people have known Iori's "true identity" from the beginning. He is the most trusted among the trusted, so it is normal for them to act intimately.

The people in the room were indeed standing or sitting casually on the sofa. Iori, the emperor of a country, did not put on airs, but was seriously discussing the data on a document with Nadezhda.

Chi Tong even ate heartily from the snack stand as if no one was around, and there was a special maid responsible for wiping her mouth and pouring tea for her to prevent her from choking.

Chelsea on the side was fascinated by the exquisite and gorgeous antique vases and paintings in the room. From her eyes, it could be seen that these things were quite valuable - even if Iori did not collect them deliberately, but with his status, wealth in the ordinary sense would still flow to him continuously.

Esdeath's intrusion broke the peace and made everyone stop what they were doing... Well, Akame stopped doing what she did but didn't talk, and behaved very calmly, worthy of being the former ace killer.

"You are really impatient. How about you recover from your injury first and then come to settle the score with me?" Iori put down the documents and rubbed his brows. "I am also very busy."

"It's a fair fight. I'm not as skilled as you. There's nothing much to say."

Esdeath said sternly, "I'm not an ignorant woman who cheats when she loses. If you think I'm here to cause trouble, then you are underestimating me!"

"Then what are you doing?"

Not only Iori, the other three also became curious. They thought that Esdeath was out of pride and could not bear such a tragic defeat, so she came to Iori for a fight to the death!

To be honest, if that were to happen, Esdeath would basically be committing suicide...

"Of course it's for you!"

Esdeath said something shocking: "I want you, Your Majesty!"

丶“?!”

Snapped!

The snack fell to the ground, scattering crumbs all over the place, and Akato was stunned.

Nadezhda and Chelsea's reactions weren't much better, but they still managed to manage their expressions.

Iori blinked: "What?"

"...What do you mean?" the one-eyed female general asked cautiously. She knew that Esdeath had always been a maverick who didn't care about other people's opinions.

"Have you not……"

"Of course I mean it literally. I want this man named Aizen Iori to have everything about him for my own use!"

Esdeath was in high spirits, not even looking like she had just been defeated. She said to Iori with full confidence, "Your Majesty, I have never seen a being more powerful than you! And I am sure that there is no power in this world greater than yours - in any form!

I once thought that even though you were a mountain, I could always see the top of the mountain. But the higher I climbed, the more I realized how big the gap was between you and me.

So I decided: I must become the strongest, until I can trample your mountain under my feet!"

"...Wait, that's a bit confusing." Iori said with a confused look in his eyes, "Your ambition is simple, and everyone can understand it, but what does 'want you' mean? Could it be that I said the wrong thing? It should be 'defeat you', right?"

"No!"

Esdeath retorted, "If it was any other opponent, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if I want to surpass you, training and fighting alone won't be enough... Besides, there aren't any decent opponents inside or outside the empire who can help me 'evolve'."

This was correct, and Iori nodded in agreement.

A warrior like Esdeath, who has beast-like instincts, is actually very much like a Saiyan. The greater the pressure, the easier it is for them to break through. It feels like they become stronger when facing a stronger opponent. The degree to which they can evolve depends on what kind of opponent they fight against.

Not everyone is called Saitama, who can break through shackles through training and gain incomparable crushing combat power.

Especially since Esdeath has basically no rivals in "Aka Kill". In a few years, even the legendary Qin Shi Huang may not be able to compare with her. That means she will become the number one person in the world throughout history - and she is not even thirty years old yet.

Reaching the pinnacle of the world before reaching adulthood is a great achievement for ordinary people, but it means endless emptiness for Esdeath.

If she had not met Iori, she could still endure it, but after she saw true strength, she could no longer deceive herself with false glory.

However, she wanted to catch up with Iori but had no idea how to do it. "Zan Aka" lacked a systematic training method, and if she fought to support herself, there were few opponents who could put pressure on her...

The only way is to find Iori himself!

"I want everything from you!"

Esdeath emphasized again: "Your skills, your strength, your body, and your spirit must all become my whetstone. As long as I can stay with you, I will become stronger!"

"Do not make jokes!"

Iori hadn't said anything yet, but Akame became anxious.

She swallowed the food with difficulty, then refuted with a hoarse voice: "Iori is the ruler of a country, he doesn't have that much time and energy to accompany you to make trouble! Besides, you are a general leading an army, what's the point of staying by the emperor's side all day long?"

"Nonsense?"

Esdeath smiled confidently and said, "I am the queen, and I can solve the dilemma myself!"

"—!"

This idea shocked everyone. They thought it was ridiculous at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be all right.

It is indeed natural for the queen to always stay by the king's side!

People like Nadezhda who have a political sense even realized that doing so would strengthen Iori's control over military power, which would be beneficial to the country rather than harmful...hiss!

I can't find any reason to object!

"No, no, no, no..."

Chi Tong shook his head desperately, and was unusually at a loss. It took him a long time to figure out how to object.

"Your Majesty the Emperor has a lot of important tasks to do every day. How can he devote all his energy to——"

"Making a child is also a very important job - for the emperor."

Esdeath stroked her chin, looked at Iori who was standing there speechless, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

"The instinct of living things is to fight and reproduce. The more powerful the bloodline, the more it should be passed down, right?"

"...Ah?" Akame looked at Nadezhda blankly, hoping to seek verbal support from her old superior, but the one-eyed female general nodded with a helpless smile, and actually agreed with what Esdeath said.

As the saying goes, the truth is true, for a "king", a queen and an heir are both necessary, and both can even affect the stability of the imperial regime - history has proved this countless times.

If Emperor Daizong of the Ming Dynasty had more sons, that Oirat student would never have had the chance to cause trouble again.

Iori himself has no relatives to help him, and relies solely on his personal prestige and powerful strength to intimidate everyone. In fact, he needs "relatives by marriage" to expand his base. And if Esdeath is from the maternal family... no one will dare to target the royal family members in the future.

After thinking about it, Nadezhda was even about to jump out to support Esdeath:

Your Majesty, please make some sacrifices for the sake of the empire's eternal cause!

"No, it's unthinkable!"

Chi Tong was speechless for a long time. She said awkwardly, "Just for this reason... We are becoming a couple... What do you think marriage is?!"

"I don't want a little girl who hasn't even fully grown her hair to say that."

Esdeath looked down upon the black-eyed female killer. The contrast between her tall and voluptuous figure and her slender and slender red eyes made the scene look extremely tragic.

"Although I like to wield swords, I am also a girl in the season of love. Even if I don't pursue stronger power, it's not strange for a woman to like a man, right?"

"happiness……"

This was the first time that Esdeath mentioned emotional factors. Akahima immediately came back to her senses and was no longer so confused, but she seemed to be worried about something.

"Do you... like him?"

"I'm not interested in weak guys. The mating of wild beasts is full of violence, but there is no doubt that... I will give birth to a very strong child with him.

Although the cubs are weak, they have the potential to grow into powerful beasts. In the past, I have directly tamed them into adults... If I have the chance, it would be nice to train two myself."

"Raising a child is not the same as taming an animal..."

"And her face is exactly the type I like."

"Varied--"

"Ok!"

Esdeath's face also turned slightly red. Even someone as bold as her felt embarrassed. After all, she was just a young girl in her budding years.
