Chapter 116

The other Mechanical Construct were not to be outdone, and their powerful attacks completely overwhelmed him.

Before long, Dr. Fashion was quickly torn apart by the Mechanical Construct.

After Dr. Fashion's death, the warhound found the Imperial Arm that Clara wanted, God's Hand, on his body. A Mechanical Construct nearby immediately spewed flames, instantly incinerating his corpse.

Clara ...the target Teigu...has been found...

The Mechanical Construct approached Clara with the Imperial Arm and offered it to her.

"Okay, Clara understands. Give it to me after it's cleaned."

He glanced at the Imperial Arms in front of him. Although he couldn't resist the urge to examine it, it wasn't the right time yet. Besides, the Imperial Arms was so dirty that it needed to be cleaned first.

Just then, Clara suddenly felt a chill.

She turned her head and saw that the jungle not far away was completely frozen by the sudden cold, along with a large number of Mechanical Construct.

"It's Esdeath?!"

Such a commotion could only mean that Esdeath had made her move.

Only she possesses such powerful ice abilities.

Her Imperial Arm, Manifestation of the Demon God: Essence of the Demon, is unlike any other traditional Imperial Arm weapon. It is forged from the blood of Super Danger Beast that inhabits the far north, or rather, it is its blood.

The Essence of the Demon has always been kept in a pot, and there have been people who have drunk from it in the past, but all of them have gone mad.

Only Esdeath not only drank it all in one gulp, but also completely controlled its demonic nature and power. Esdeath in this way could almost be considered a Super Danger Beast being.

Not only can it freely control the ice, but it can also manipulate offense and defense with ease, and its speed and power are both astonishing.

"Mr. Svarog!"

Clara was a little nervous as she was finally about to face Esdeath.

But she believed in Mr. Svarog; he certainly wouldn't lose to Esdeath. After all, Svarog possessed not only his own power but also his destiny and other Light Cone.

[Understood, we are ready to act at any time!]

Svarog appeared behind Clara, his gaze fixed on the coldest direction in the distance.

Esdeath's power can instantly affect the surrounding weather, making the temperature cold.

That's not all.

Esdeath at full power can even cause a blizzard to fall simultaneously across the entire empire.

A humanoid Super Danger Beast, truly deserving of its name.

"Boring!"

Looking at the scene before her, Esdeath was somewhat disappointed.

Although the lumps of iron robots surprised her, the performance of the Jaegers and the Security Forces did indeed leave her somewhat dissatisfied.

They were almost completely wiped out.

These Night Raid raiders are really skilled; so many Mechanical Construct are enough to wipe out her Imperial Arms users.

But that's all!

Esdeath kicked away the approaching Automaton Soldier, then revealed her terrifying power.

The ice spread rapidly beneath her, freezing the vast jungle area and the robots in the blink of an eye, rendering them motionless.

Esdeath then identified the members of the Night Raid and prepared to take action herself.

She didn't rush to take action herself before, in order to give her Jaegers subordinates a chance, but it seems they are still too weak.

Esdeath wouldn't dwell on this too much.

They wouldn't care even if they died; that's just how the law of the jungle works.

However, the operation should come to an end...

Esdeath appeared before a member of Night Raid. The assassins who were feared by the nobles of the capital were nothing to her.

The moment she made her move, Shil, who was closest to her, was sent flying, her fate unknown.

Chapter 54 Esdeath is so powerful, will Mr. Svarog win?

"Shil!"

Upon seeing Shil's condition, the Night Raid members who were on their way immediately felt their hearts leap into their throats.

But Shil wasn't going to die so easily; she was protected by the Light Cone, though the others didn't know that and were just glaring angrily at Esdeath.

Mine immediately used her Romanticist Cannon to lock onto Esdeath and unleashed a powerful blast.

However, Esdeath simply kicked the ground, and layers of ice walls appeared in front of her, forcefully blocking Mine's artillery fire.

Then her gaze locked onto Mine, filling Mine with fear. Even from this distance, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy hell.

Is this Esdeath, the strongest being in the Empire?!

No wonder the boss was so worried about Esdeath. Although they are both Teigu users, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

At that moment, Esdeath casually created a giant ice spike with a diameter of thirty or forty meters and shot it toward Mine's position.

Mine wanted to escape, but it was too late; she could only feel the approaching presence of death.

Fortunately, at that moment, Brood, who had already defeated Will, appeared in time and cleaved the ice spikes with his spear.

At the same time, other members who were free to work and a large number of Mechanical Construct also arrived one after another.

"Attack together!"

Faced with the formidable boss Esdeath, no one dared to be arrogant. As Nadjeshda had said, even with all of them and their 50,000 elite troops, they could only barely put up a fight against Esdeath.

The Night Raid members all attacked Esdeath simultaneously, but Esdeath seemed to disregard them.

I have no interest in playing house with them here...

"General of Ice Storm!"

Esdeath calmly displayed her special move designed for group battles.

They quickly created a large number of Ice Cavalry by directly using ice. The Ice Cavalry themselves have combat power that ordinary soldiers cannot match, but their real purpose is to store the energy of the Imperial Arms, which can be stored for at least several days.

The Night Raid's rhythm was instantly disrupted by the appearance of these ice knights.

They had no choice but to temporarily set aside their plan to attack Esdeath simultaneously and instead confront these ice knights. Fortunately, they were no ordinary people; although these ice knights were powerful, they were still manageable.

With the help of the robots, they quickly broke through the Ice Knight's attack and arrived in front of Esdeath.

Leone, like a ferocious tiger, charged at Esdeath with a punch as she reached her. At the same time, Brood transformed into the monstrous Danger Beast Tyrande and slashed at her.

However, Esdeath remained calm. Just as the two were about to hit her, before they could even react, Leone and Brood simultaneously felt a terrifying force... and were sent flying.

Esdeath instantly created two towering ice pillars, which simultaneously sent the two of them flying.

However, their attacks were merely a cover; the real attack came from someone else.

Akame, who had somehow gotten rid of Kurome Akame, appeared behind Esdeath without warning, wielding the Muramasa Demon Sword and slashing fiercely at Esdeath.

Although she was no match for Esdeath, as long as her Demon Sword could wound Esdeath even slightly, she would have already won.

However, Esdeath was not so easily defeated. An ice sword was instantly created, which just blocked Akame's attack.

"Muramasa?"

"But unfortunately, you can't hurt me!"

Without even looking, Esdeath already knew what Imperial Arm it was just by sensing the terrifying curse poison on the Demon Sword.

Indeed, compared to other Imperial Arms, only Muramasa's one-hit kill could bring her even a slight sense of crisis.

But how could it be easy to hurt her with the Demon Sword Muramasa?

"..."

Seeing her attack blocked, Akame didn't have time to make any other moves before Esdeath kicked her away.

It wasn't over yet. Akame hadn't even landed, and Esdeath instantly created a large number of ice spikes on the ground.

Akame quickly forced herself to adjust her posture in mid-air, using Muramasa as a fulcrum, which barely allowed her to avoid being hurt by the spikes.

At this moment, the others adjusted their situation and attacked Esdeath again. However, not long after, except for Akame, Leone and the others were sent flying again, basically losing their ability to fight completely.

Even with the Night Raid members and the Automaton Soldier, Esdeath was completely powerless to resist.

Because of the lack of rare metals, precious materials such as Orichalcos were mainly used by Clara to make Creation Engine. Only a few other Mechanical Construct, such as grizzly bears and toothed wolves, could use them.

This resulted in most of the Automaton Soldier having metal materials that were not of very high quality.

It has no problem dealing with other Imperial Arms users, even Special Class Danger Beast and Level 1 Danger Beast, but it's no match for Esdeath.

These robots were completely frozen by Esdeath's power, and their engines could not be started.

Seeing Akame get up again, Esdeath became slightly interested.

This woman with Kurome is indeed very special...

However, just as Esdeath was about to attack Akame again, suddenly more than a dozen missiles were launched towards her.

Without a second thought, Esdeath immediately created a pool of ice water in front of her, which withstood the missile bombardment.

Only then did she look at the person who had just arrived...

A seemingly harmless, even easily bullied, barefoot loli. But she's not the focus; the focus is the mechanical creature behind her.

This mechanical creature gave Esdeath a completely different feeling than other Mechanical Construct.

The missile we just saw was also launched from it.

"Were they also part of the Night Raid?"

"Whatever... You've come at the perfect time, I'll just take care of you all at once, don't disappoint me!"

Looking at Svarog before her, Esdeath felt a sudden surge of fighting spirit.

This made her incredibly excited.

Because it had been a very long time since anyone or anything had given her this feeling, not even when facing those Super Danger Beasts.

Esdeath often deliberately lets her opponents off the hook in order to fully enjoy the battle, but in fact, since she swallowed that demon blood, there has been nothing that allows her to truly enjoy the battle wholeheartedly.

"Please, Mr. Svarog!"

Clara looked at Esdeath in front of her and couldn't help but take two steps back after feeling her terrifying aura.

Esdeath and the other Teigu users before her were beings from completely different dimensions.

In the original story, during the final battle in the Imperial Capital, after the Supreme Imperial Armament was defeated, Esdeath single-handedly fought against more than ten Imperial Arm users and a million-strong army, demonstrating unparalleled strength.

If he hadn't been so engrossed in the battle that he exposed a weakness and was injured by Muramasa's Akame, and then hadn't had to sever his own wrist and replace his right arm with an ice blade to combat the cursed poison...

Even so, she was still incredibly powerful, almost inhuman.

[Detection detected, formidable enemy locked, target... Ice General Esdeath!]

[Operation, prepare to execute!]

Svarog's mechanical eye locked onto Esdeath. Although he calculated that with the power of the Three Fates and the enhancement of the Light Cone, he was certain that he could take down Esdeath.

However, Esdeath's terrifying strength must also be acknowledged.

As a true national-level being, Esdeath would be considered a significant figure even within the Star Rail Universe.

Not all those Path Walker possess the power to destroy stars.

Clara, get away from here. It will have a huge impact on the upcoming battle.

Instead of immediately taking action, Svarog stepped forward and spoke with Clara.

"It's alright, Mr. Svarog, Clara will take care of herself, don't worry about me."

Clara took out the prepared Light Cone. With the Preservation of the four- Light Cone, nothing should happen under normal circumstances.

[Understood.]
