No blood flowed out; it had completely congealed inside Lin Feng's body, and the sensation of the sword's edge was indeed the same as that of his heart.
It's all over.
At this moment, Esdeath didn't know what she was feeling.
Esdeath dared not think about what killing Lin Feng would mean for her, because if she had even a shred of her past feelings for Lin Feng, Esdeath would not be able to bring herself to kill him.
Lin Feng was undoubtedly dead, Esdeath couldn't help but feel an extremely profound emptiness.
By using his ultimate technique to kill his only opponent in the world, he also meant that he had abandoned his past emotions.
It seems that besides being powerful, I have nothing left of myself.
Seemingly standing at the pinnacle of all beings, in an absolutely invincible kingly position, yet simultaneously unable to see any changes, and unable to enjoy any more battles where one gives their all.
' Lin Feng, can you understand how lonely I'll be in the future...?'
Esdeath closed her eyes, and the blue of everything under the time and space gradually began to fade.
The ice shards that refracted countless crystalline lights began to disappear from Lin Feng's body. The floor of the council hall, the ceiling above, and the fragments of tables and chairs shattered by the impact of the two slowly returned to their original colors.
And so, time resumed its flow.
"Hmm..."
Lin Feng suddenly felt a sharp, intense pain, followed by a complete numbness throughout his body.
The cells in my body are rapidly failing. I've experienced this feeling before, back when I was fighting against the Jaegers.
The moment Lin Feng felt himself being struck, his keen senses detected the instant his surroundings were frozen.
This sudden injury was both unexpected and yet within the realm of reason that Lin Feng understood.
"Farewell, Lin Feng..."
Lin Feng collapsed to the ground, unable to resist any longer. All he could see was endless blackness, and Esdeath seemed to be mourning Lin Feng, remaining motionless for a long time.
Where are you looking?
Such a sound came from behind.
This voice was one that Esdeath knew all too well, yet one she had never imagined would appear at this moment.
Turning around abruptly, Esdeath could hardly believe what she was seeing.
" Lin Feng...?!"
Lin Feng stood on the windowsill of the council chamber, looking down at Esdeath, while at Esdeath's feet lay Lin Feng's corpse.
This situation was completely incomprehensible to Esdeath.
"Is it an illusion...?"
Illusion is a skill that creates illusions by injecting energy into the opponent's brain to disrupt neural circuits and thus affect the five senses.
Esdeath, since joining the army, has fought against countless masters of illusion, among the best, and her final conclusion is—
Because Esdeath's will to win was so strong, illusions could not disturb Esdeath mind at all.
For this reason, Esdeath is practically immune to all illusions.
However, Lin Feng stood unharmed on the windowsill, and the dead Lin Feng beside his feet was also the real Lin Feng.
Esdeath's pupils dilated suddenly upon seeing all this. She had always been so confident and decisive, and had never shown such astonishment and surprise before.
Lin Feng nimbly jumped down from the windowsill.
"A life for a life—this is a profound skill that can only be grasped after becoming sworn brothers with Yama, the King of Hell."
' Resurrection ' erases the existence of one of the undead in one's 'Zero Type: River of Death ', thus giving oneself a new life.
Lin Feng had lost count of how many undead lives he possessed, but using even one in Esdeath's possession was a sign of respect for her.
"Let's start over, Esdeath."
"Let me see your true skill level."
Esdeath was unable to accept Lin Feng's survival; the discrepancy between reality and her perception made her feel somewhat dizzy.
"How is this possible... How can the dead come back to life..."
"I know the Teigu the Imperial Capital inside and out... There is absolutely no Teigu Resurrection someone... or even heal wounds, it simply doesn't exist, you monster..."
A faint aura of blood was already emanating from Lin Feng's entire body.
Just as Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, a glint of crimson light flashed in his eyes, and his blood energy suddenly surged like wildfire, becoming exceptionally strong.
This killing intent was no less than before; it was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, and Lin Feng was completely reborn.
"I always suspected you had some hidden tricks up your sleeve, and seeing this ' Mahapadma ' today, it truly is extraordinary... So, please show it to me again."
Lin Feng's blood energy seemed to merge with his body, and he converted all of Alucard's energy into kinetic energy for physical combat, arriving at Esdeath's side in almost an instant.
'That speed...'
Esdeath had just reacted when she heard a loud bang—the sound of Lin Feng kicking her shinbone and cracking it.
"I was holding back."
Lin Feng's cold voice once again reached Esdeath's ears.
Now, having been attacked by Lin Feng and having just witnessed Lin Feng resurrection, Esdeath's emotions were no longer under her control.
Her fighting instincts compelled her to utterly crush this man, and the chilling aura emanating from Esdeath intensified several times over as her emotions surged.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
A gust of wind swept in, nearly knocking the heavy jade gate over. Lin Feng's black hair was tousled by the cold wind.
Looking around at the desolate ruins, almost everything was covered in a layer of ice due to the sudden drop in temperature. A chilling fog continued to form, and when you reached out to touch your cheek, you could almost feel a thin layer of frost.
The demon mark on Esdeath's chest flashed with a deep blue light, sensing that its master was beginning to go mad and was preparing to eliminate the man before her at all costs.
Responding to the host's call, Esdeath's Teigu began to bestow upon her a large amount of energy, and in her frenzied agitation, Esdeath revealed a bewitching yet beautiful smile.
"Hehe... hehehe... Lin Feng..."
Almost at Lin Feng's speed, Esdeath flashed in front of Lin Feng Lin Feng and thrust her Extreme Ice Blade at him.
Lin Feng did not dodge; with a swing of his arm, he shattered the ice blade.
Since Lin Feng could shatter Esdeath's solid ice, he deduced that he could also shatter this sword made of ice.
With a breath, Esdeath summoned rows of ice spikes that grew out from behind and pierced towards Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng simply channeled the ' Power of Alucard ' into his body, and the ice spikes could not penetrate Lin Feng body even slightly.
