rraid clenched her fists in frustration, her face clearly showing that she couldn't understand how Esdeath wouldn't listen to any reason.
If it were anyone else, rraid would have exchanged a few words before knocking her out and dragging her away. But with this woman, she couldn't do that. On one hand, she didn't want to hurt her, and on the other, she knew that even if she tried, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat her.
rraid had always been very confident, sotis bordering on arrogance. But even she had to admit that while her talent and skill were top notch in this world, they were on par with the great generals of the empire, such as Bulat and Budo.
However, the woman in front of her, with whom she had crossed paths since youth, belonged to an even higher level.
Empire Navy Admiral, Esdeath!
But despite this, rraid still didn't think she could survive the next war.
So she told Esdeath everything she saw without reservation, just to let Esdeath understand the huge gap between the two sides!
But rraid failed as expected.
"The World Governnt, which has already conquered three worlds, seems very strong. That's perfect, don't you think?!"
"Surely there I will find enemies who can satisfy , right?" Esdeath said as she crossed her legs. Her tongue ran across her lips with an expression full of anticipation. Her eyes shone with palpable excitent, without the slightest attempt at concealnt.
"Why don't you understand!"
"You are no match for those monsters, you will die!"
rraid sighed, defeated. She knew Esdeath, that woman was a combat fanatic. But still, she had co to warn her.
Because she loved her.
"Die?" Esdeath slowly stood up, looked at rraid calmly and said: "That ans I am too weak, that's all."
"I see..." rraid muttered, lowering her head, her face obscured by the shadows, as her voice turned cold and the atmosphere in the hall beca oppressive. "Sure enough, I can't convince you with words. In this case, I have to try to take you away by force."
When she raised her head, determination was reflected in her eyes.
"Today, I will either defeat you and take you far away and live together, or you can kill , which is better than watching you die!"
Esdeath looked at her with interest and said with a smile: "I forgot that you are still the strongest assassin in the empire, and it seems that we haven't fought each other for a while."
"Well, in that case, then you co and try, let see if you have beco stronger~"
Just as rraid tensed her muscles, Esdeath raised a hand to stop her.
"In your current form you are no match for . Transform into Mada ra. I can wait."
rraid sneered. "Still as confident as ever, huh? Alright, I won't hold back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her arms and twelve black insects resembling caterpillars erged from her body, which began to spin white silk threads.
In the blink of an eye, rraid was wrapped in a large white cocoon.
Esdeath waited with a smile, crossing her arms under her breast.
A mont later, the cocoon split in two, revealing a fully transford rraid.
Translucent, dark purple wings spread out from her back, and a pair of white antennae erged from her temples. Her forearms and legs sported a purple pattern that seed to mimic lace stockings.
Her appearance was like that of a dark butterfly, highlighting her sensuality even more provocatively.
"Very well, let's begin." rraid said, ready for combat.
But Esdeath didn't seem satisfied. "What about that phrase the Oarburghs say before they fight? Aren't you going to say it?"
"That is equivalent to sentencing the other party to death in the na of Death, and this battle is not to kill you." rraid looked at her affectionately and said softly.
"No, you have to say it!"
Esdeath has long been accustod to rraid's sowhat strange personality and continued to make requests without changing her expression.
Because there is nothing wrong with her sexual orientation, she is still waiting to have a normal sweet love with a man she likes~
"Well, okay then." rraid replied, smiling indulgently before assuming a serious expression. She spread her arms and, in a solemn voice, said: "I am the Fang of the Death God Oarburgh, the Sword of Impermanence, and I will take you to the underworld to enjoy eternal peace."
"Yes, that's it!" Esdeath exclaid, satisfied like a child who just got her gift. "It would be great if there is really soone in this world who can defeat death. I really want to see it."
But rraid was no longer in the mood for jokes. In the blink of an eye, she was gone from her spot.
The next instant, a three-ter-tall ice pillar appeared where rraid had been standing, only to burst into a thousand pieces under a fiery explosion.
anwhile, a swarm of black insects descended from the ceiling of the room.
Suddenly, Esdeath unsheathed her sword and, with one movent, froze the swarm of insects, which disintegrated into ice dust upon contact with the air.
"After so many years, you still haven't improved the cold resistance of these insects~" Esdeath sneered as the temperature in the room dropped even further.
rraid let out a growl. "That's why I made sure to bring enough Explosive Ants to take you on."
At that instant, a series of explosions shook the white castle, as two powerful won faced each other in a frenzied battle between fire, smoke and ice.
...
At so point, the noise in the castle quieted down.
Both sides appeared to have moderated their attacks, allowing the only building on this small island to remain largely intact.
However.
The main hall inside the castle was a ss, with frozen icicles, ice spikes and broken ice everywhere.
"How do you think you could beat , you fool~?"
Esdeath smiled in satisfaction as she looked at her childhood friend, who was frozen from the neck down. At that mont, the young warrior was revealing her more youthful and carefree side.
"No matter how much of a war fanatic you are, there must be a limit, don't you think? What's the point of fighting a battle where you're sure to lose, and you might even die?"
"If you follow my plan, you could adopt another identity, join the World Governnt, and participate in their campaigns to conquer other worlds. Isn't that more tempting?"
rraid made her last effort to convince her.
"A war that is bound to be lost?" Esdeath raised her eyebrows, bringing her right hand to her waist and smiling. "What you just said makes want to try even more. I don't know the taste of defeat, you know~?"
But then Esdeath's eyes filled with ambition and greed.
"The war to conquer other worlds"
She had to admit that when rraid ntioned it, her heart wavered, feeling tempted to surrender to the World Governnt. However, she quickly suppressed that impulse. There was no way she would betray on the battlefield.
Of course, if she ended up using all her power and still lost, and if they allowed her to live... maybe then she would consider joining them.
With that thought in mind, Esdeath waved her right hand, dispelling the ice surrounding rraid into sparkling crystals that scattered through the air. Then, with a firm and graceful step, she began to walk towards the castle gate, her white heels clicking on the frozen ground.
It was then that rraid's angry voice broke the silence.
"If you die, don't even dream of avenging your death! I won't stand up to the World Governnt for you. In fact, I will mock your arrogance before your grave!"
"Heh, well I hope you'll keep good company with your words then~"
Esdeath chuckled without looking back.
Finally disappeared from rraid's angry sight.
rraid, exhausted, collapsed onto the frozen ground, biting her lip in frustration.
"Then there is only one way next, I will join the World Governnt first."
"Since the World Governnt can accept talents from the first three worlds, there is no reason why Esdeath and I will be rejected!"
Thinking of this, rraid stood up with his tired body. She must keep herself and Esdeath alive!
...
At the sa ti, on the Empire's side, a 50,000-strong army led by Najasho and Izou as his deputy, had arrived at the northern borders a few days ago. They were stationed in a fortress near the city of Partas.
Najasho used this fortress as his command center, deploying his army so that it directly faced the main battle division led by Lieutenant General Onigumo and the auxiliary army of 10,000.
Recently, both sides had begun engaging in small test fights.
"Weren't enemy soldiers supposed to fight with swords?" Najasho asked, puzzled, as he looked at the front line with a simple telescope.
At this point, both armies were entrenched in makeshift trenches, firing at each other with automatic rifles and machine guns. The sky was streaked with exploding shells, enveloping the trenches in flashes of fire.
In addition, a few heavy tanks had joined the fight, but they soon encountered fierce resistance from gigantic crab-like creatures.
"Lieutenant General, according to the latest intelligence reports, these troops wearing green uniforms and carrying firearms have recently arrived in our world through the Dinsional Gate. It is believed that they might be your second-line forces." An officer from the rear quickly reported.
"Second-line troops?"
Najasho turned his head and looked at him speechlessly.
The other side's second-line troops are fighting with their first-line troops, what's going on!
"Hahaha! Second line troops fully equipped with firearms, while the front line troops only use swords... Interesting, reminds of my holand. I'm looking forward to facing them." Izou laughed coldly, as he eagerly watched the fight.
"By the way, I'll take advantage of the opportunity to feed Kousetsu with blood." Izou added, with a dangerous smile.
