Staring at Akame on the ground ahead, Esdeath moved to finish her off. Then she suddenly sensed something behind her. Without the slightest hesitation, she reached back and created several walls of ice behind her.
Because Durandal had always pierced through her ice walls with a single thrust, Esdeath had spent the past few months constantly trying to improve the ice's density and hardness.
Compared to a few months ago, the defensive power of these ice walls was now several times greater!
"Ultimate Art: Amaterasu!!"
Sure enough, a terrifying attack came from behind her!
But Esdeath had still underestimated the attacker's strike. Several ice walls were instantly destroyed, and the terrifying sword energy continued toward Esdeath without weakening in the slightest.
Just as it was about to hit Esdeath, an ice pillar shot up beneath her feet and sent her into the air.
The sword energy severed the ice pillar, but it did not injure Esdeath.
Kurome's expression did not change after missing with her strike, but she was displeased inside. After catching up to her sister, she had not immediately entered the battlefield between Esdeath and Akame. Instead, she had waited at the side for an opportunity.
Once she seized it, she unleashed her ultimate move without hesitation, yet it still missed.
After feeling dejected for half a second, Kurome hurried to Akame's side when she saw her sister nearby.
"Big Sister!"
"I'm fine. This General Esdeath is indeed very strong." Akame stood back up. She looked somewhat battered, but she was not seriously hurt.
"It's fine! No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as we sisters fight together, there's no one we can't handle." Esdeath truly was powerful, but as long as she was with her sister, Kurome feared no one.
"Another one, and they're sisters..."
