I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

"We're blocked again..." Leone said unwillingly.

Every time when her fist passed through layers of obstacles and was about to hit Esdeath, a layer of extremely solid ice would appear on Esdeath's body surface to help her block Leone's attack.

Even Leone's extraordinary strength could not completely break the ice armor that Esdeath suddenly condensed. At most, it could only leave it full of cracks.

If one really wants to break that thin layer of ice armor, one must at least have Brand's tremendous strength.

However, when Esdeath fought Brand, she used an extremely hard ice sword, both for attack and defense, and there was no need to condense an extra layer of ice armor to protect herself.

He only uses ice armor for protection when facing attacks from Leona and Akame.

Moreover, the layer of ice used to defend against Akame... was much thicker than the layer of ice used to defend against himself...

Although this also indirectly shows that Esdeath is highly alert to Akame, but...

Leone still wanted to give her a good beating with his fists!

Who are you looking down on?!

What happened to me being unarmed?!

Isn't my damage just a little bit low?!

How can we treat them differently?!

Hurry! When I hit you later, the shield in front of me must be as thick as the one of Akame!

Although Leone really wanted to say this to Esdeath, she thought better of it.

Life is already difficult, why make it more difficult for yourself?

Although Leone had many thoughts in mind, they only lasted for a short moment.

On the other side, Akame looked at the demon sword Murasame in her hand and frowned slightly.

After each collision, a wisp of frost would cling to Murasame.

By now, most of his Murasame had turned white, until Akame struck the ice on the ground hard, which shook off the frost on the blade.

"Very strong." Akagi looked towards Esdeath solemnly.

A group battle from the beginning.

Even though Esdeath was surrounded by three of them, she did not show any sign of fatigue.

In contrast, the condition of myself and others has deteriorated a lot.

And it can withstand the severe cold weather here...

Unless Akame can find an opportunity to stab Esdeath's body, even if it's just a small wound, with Murasame's characteristics, it will be enough to kill Esdeath!

However, the other party did not give her this opportunity at all, and has not even revealed a single flaw until now.

"Red pupil!"

"Ok?"

Brand suddenly called out to Chitong in a low voice, and then looked at Esdeath intently.

Akahime and Leone looked at him in confusion, then stood up and looked in the direction of Esdeath.

Following Brand's line of sight, the two of them soon discovered what Brand really wanted them to see.

"This……"

Akame hesitated for a moment, but her hand holding the demon sword Murasame did not relax at all.

"Can it be done?"

Leone was also a little hesitant.

"I don't know... but this may be our only chance." Brand said in a muffled voice under the armor, "Besides, since Tatsumi has appeared here..."

Brand didn't continue speaking.

But Akahime and Leone both understood what he meant and nodded seriously.

Esdeath naturally could not be hidden from the changes in the expressions of the night raid trio.

She tilted her head slightly and saw the extremely familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

"Tazmi?"

She subconsciously said that name, which also revealed the first flaw for Akagi and the others!

"on!"

Brand exerted force suddenly, and the ice under his feet cracked in an instant.

At his side, Leone followed closely, while Akame was on his back, her eyes fixed on Esdeath.

----call!

A familiar whistling sound came to my ears.

Esdeath also turned her attention away from Tatsumi.

"boom--!!!"

Before my eyes, a long spear came pressing towards me with a fierce gust of wind.

At my side, Leone... Oh, that's okay, I can just block it with a shield.

(Leone: I feel offended!)

Only then did Esdeath turn her attention to Brand's back, where a black-haired and red-eyed girl was ready to attack!

The demon sword in his hand was raised high, emitting an ominous aura.

"General!!!"

"Lord Esdeath!!!"

Not far away, the three beast warriors and the hunter team couldn't help but exclaim when they saw Esdeath in danger.

They leaned forward, taking a step forward, ready to provide support.

But before they could fully execute their moves, a roar of "extreme concern" came from behind them.

"Esdeath!!!"

The sword in Tatsumi's hand was still unsheathed, and his expression was full of anger, as if he was dissatisfied with the Night Raid Trio's surprise attack on Esdeath.

"Tatsumi, back off!"

Clang——! ! !

Esdeath didn't look back, and the ice sword in her hand quickly collided with Brand's spear, making a sharp collision sound.

A tremendous force was transmitted along the ice sword to Esdeath's body, as if trying to nail her in place. Brand roared and used the tip of his spear to jam Esdeath's ice sword, preventing her from escaping easily.

Esdeath's expression didn't change at all, and she even became more excited.

"boom!"

"Well--!"

An icicle suddenly rushed out from the ice under his feet and hit Brand's abdomen, knocking him away instantly.

"A demon sword?"

The moment Brand was knocked flying, Akame jumped off his back and slashed at Esdeath with the magic sword in her hand.

Leone, on the other hand, swung his fist towards Esdeath's slender neck.

"Qiang~!"

"boom!"

The ice sword successfully blocked the attack of the demon sword, and Leone was once again knocked away by Esdeath.

"Esdeath!"

Behind him, Tatsumi's concerned cry was heard again.

Feeling the rare murderous aura from Tatsumi, Esdeath couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Seeing that he was in danger, Tatsumi ran towards him so nervously that he even had murderous intent towards others.

When I get back, I must reward him well.

Esdeath smiled and looked at Akagi who was fighting with her, with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

I'm trying to comfort Tatsumi, why are you getting in the way?!

She increased the strength in her hands once again, and at the same time, an ice cone burst out from the ice under her feet, knocking Chi Tong away.

"Esdeath!"

The sound of running behind her was getting closer and closer, and Esdeath smiled indulgently.

"Alright, alright, Tatsumi, I..."

“Pfft——!!!”

121 In order to save everyone, Tatsumi sold his body and soul, sob

Esdeath, who had just turned around, couldn't continue speaking before she could react.

The coldness of the sword piercing her body, the wetness of the blood flowing, and the long-lost pain made Esdeath completely speechless.

"Tazmi?"

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Tatsumi was stunned for a moment, then as if extremely frightened, he quickly loosened his hand that was holding the sword.

His body trembled slightly, and he slowly backed away, speaking incoherently, saying the word "I'm sorry" over and over again.

"I……"

"I……"

He raised his head tremblingly.

The determination in his eyes has turned into panic and guilt.

puff.

Esdeath pulled out the sword that pierced her body without changing her expression. Under Esdeath's ability, her blood solidified into ice and no longer flowed out of her body.

Under the control of her ability, the injuries in her body were also brought under control to a certain extent.

but……

Listening to the sounds of running and the sound of the demon sword cutting through the air behind her, Esdeath waved her hand casually, and an extremely thick ice wall suddenly rose into the sky, completely protecting her and Tatsumi inside.

Because, in addition to Tatsumi's night attack, even his own three beast warriors and members of the hunter team rushed over frantically.

Looking at the way they looked, it seemed as if they wanted to eat Tatsumi alive.

"Esdeath..." Tatsumi was stunned.

Outside the ice wall, Akame's demon sword slashed fiercely on Esdeath's ice wall.

"Tatsumi!!" Akame shouted his name anxiously.

Afterwards, Brand and Leone also rushed over and started to attack the ice wall frantically together with Akahime.

"What a hassle." Esdeath seemed a little impatient. She turned around and glared at them fiercely with her blue eyes.

All the noise disappeared instantly.

Because Akame, Brand, and Leone were also completely frozen.

This is Esdeath's true strength. If she didn't want to enjoy the process of fighting, even if Akame and the others were not frozen in the first round, they would still be unavoidable during the battle with Esdeath.

Moreover, in order to show her respect for the three of them, Esdeath even imprisoned them in the strongest ice.

Even with Brand's extraordinary strength, it was difficult to break through from the inside.

In the distance, the three beast warriors and the hunter team who were rushing over anxiously finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But their speed did not slow down at all.

What arrived before them was their murderous shouts.
