Syura's expression grew tense—this was becoming troubleso. Esdeath was far stronger than he had imagined, and now, there was also this mysterious young man with blood-red pupils.
However, his Teigu, Shambhala, had just been used, rendering it temporarily unusable. Otherwise, he would have simply teleported Esdeath and that red-eyed youth away.
Blayn walked effortlessly across the ice, unaffected by the freezing cold. If it were anyone else, they would have already turned into a block of ice. This was thanks to his use of Intangibility.
“It looks like that guy used so kind of Teigu to teleport them away. Judging by the distance, it must have been quite far,” Esdeath said casually.
Hearing this, Blayn imdiately turned to Syura and questioned him in an even tone, “What kind of Teigu did you use? Where did you send them?”
Being stared down by those crimson eyes sent a shiver through Syura, but he quickly realized his reaction was cowardly and disgraceful. Trying to regain so control, he sneered, “If you kneel down and kowtow to , I might consider telling you.”
...
Blayn’s gaze instantly turned icy. This guy was asking for death.
“It seems you still haven't grasped the situation...” he said coldly.
In the next mont, his left eye flared with crimson veins, locking onto Syura's left wrist.
Kamui’s activation had no warning—at most, one might sense a faint spatial distortion, but only those with keen perception could detect it.
Syura, far weaker than Esdeath, couldn't even react.
By the ti he realized what had happened, his left hand had already hit the ground.
“What?!”
A sharp, searing pain shot through his wrist, leaving Syura utterly shocked.
Esdeath, witnessing this, was slightly surprised as well. It was the first ti she had seen Blayn use this ability.
During their last battle, she had seen sothing similar, but at the ti, it lacked the sheer lethality that could outright sever a limb.
“I’ll handle those guys,” she said, montarily setting aside her curiosity about Blayn’s power to focus on eliminating the remaining enemies.
...
Despite facing five Teigu users alone, Esdeath remained completely unfazed. More accurately, only four remained—Dorothea, whom she had frozen earlier, had yet to break free.
Not only was she holding her ground, but she was also maintaining complete control of the battlefield.
anwhile, Blayn had already stripped Syura of both arms, while Syura hadn’t even managed to land a single hit.
Blayn had confird that Syura was Pri Minister Honest’s son and was well aware of the atrocities he had committed upon returning to the Imperial Capital.
Had Syura kept a lower profile instead of rampaging so brazenly through the city, Blayn wouldn’t have even bothered looking into whether Pri Minister Honest had a son.
But since this guy had been so arrogant, it was only natural to eliminate the threat.
However, before killing Syura, Blayn needed to know where Seryu and the others were.
“Who the hell are you?!”
Syura gritted his teeth, his voice trembling as he endured the pain.
“I’m the one you’ve been looking for. Do you get it now?” Blayn replied casually.
“...”
Syura froze for a mont before realization struck. “You’re Blayn?!”
Blayn didn’t respond, but the answer was already obvious.
Before finishing Syura off, Blayn questioned him about Seryu and the others’ whereabouts.
This was the ability of the Teigu Shambhala, a spatial-type Teigu capable of teleporting targets to predetermined locations. Syura revealed that Seryu and the others had been transported to an uninhabited island in the south.
[Ding! The Host has eliminated a "Teigu User" and received a reward: 40 System Points!]
While Blayn was dealing with Syura, Esdeath had already crushed Izou and the others, leaving them either dead or severely wounded.
Enshin’s Teigu, Moonlight Sword Dance: Shamshir, wasn’t particularly strong in normal conditions. Its true power only manifested under moonlight—especially a full moon. But in this situation, he stood no chance and was completely overpowered by Esdeath.
Cosmina and Champ were also limited by their own strength. Ordinary Teigu Users like them never had a chance against soone of Esdeath’s caliber.
Among them, Izou was the strongest, but even he was rely a weakened version of Aka. At the very least, Aka needed to use Murasa’s secret technique to stand a chance against Esdeath—Izou didn’t even co close.
Seeing that Blayn had already finished on his side, Esdeath decided to wrap things up quickly.
Once she had eliminated the remaining enemies, Blayn walked over nonchalantly and said, “Seryu and the others were teleported quite a distance away. I’ll go find them first. In the anti, you can spread the word.”
He saw this unexpected situation as an opportunity. Spreading the news would create the illusion that they had suffered a major loss in combat power, which would, in turn, lure out certain individuals with ill intentions.
However, Esdeath ignored the topic for now and instead stepped closer to Blayn. “That ability you just used on him… I don’t think you ever used it, even when we fought.”
She was still fixated on the matter, pressing Blayn for answers.
“It seems that way…” Blayn replied, feeling slightly awkward.
He hadn’t expected Esdeath to rember such a detail, let alone care about it.
“Well… at the ti, I didn’t think that ability would be particularly effective against you. More importantly, it’s too lethal. I only wanted to fight you to determine a winner, not cause unnecessary harm.”
Blayn’s explanation was straightforward.
“I see… Though it sounds like you underestimated my durability a little, I don’t dislike being cared for by you. In fact, I’d say I quite like it.”
The mont she finished speaking, Esdeath leaned in and kissed Blayn.
Blayn had long since gotten used to her sudden ambushes—this wasn’t the first ti, nor would it be the last.
Afterward, he remained completely composed and said, “Alright, let’s go find Seryu and the others. If we go together, it’ll make so people even more impatient to act.”
“Mm. Let’s consider this a honeymoon while we’re at it,” Esdeath mused. “We may not be married, but with our relationship, we don’t need sothing as trivial as a wedding to prove it.”
The terms honeymoon and marriage were things she had learned from Bols.
After all, Bols was the only one among them who was married. Being older and more experienced in love, he even had a daughter a few years younger than them.
Esdeath had asked him about these things—including various ways to capture Blayn’s heart.
