"Boring..."
Esdeath put away her Ice Blade, not even glancing at the perfect weapons that had readied themselves to attack again.
She took a step forward with her long legs and lightly tapped the ground.
In an instant, a bone-chilling cold descended upon the area. A vast wave of cold air swept straight through most of Honest's estate, freezing it solid.
The Four Rakshasa Demons were naturally caught in the power of the Teigu [Demon's Extract], frozen into lifelike ice sculptures and rendered unable to move.
"I only hope the new Governor can surprise me."
Esdeath couldn't help recalling the rumors she'd heard upon returning to the Imperial Capital. The newly appointed Governor had captured every member of Night Raid, and even her old friend Najenda had been taken prisoner.
