Lin Feng gently stroked Esdeath's forehead, and a string of purple soul energy condensed from Esdeath's body and was absorbed into Lin Feng's body.
Normally, the souls that join Lin Feng's [Zero Type: River of Death ] are crimson red; that's the inherent color of their souls.
But Esdeath's soul exhibits such a cold tone, as if she was born with a cold and aloof heart.
Esdeath's thoughts and feelings, including her love for Lin Feng, were all conveyed to Lin Feng without any omission.
"I see, Esdeath... May you rest in peace."
Sensing that Esdeath had no regrets, Lin Feng erased the slight guilt he felt for killing the girl.
After all, compared to this young girl, the fate of the innocent and pitiful people in the Imperial Capital seemed to be more important.
However, Lin Feng still held a sense of respect and tenderness for this Ice Queen in his heart.
The massive tremors and continuous golden light plunged the entire Imperial Capital palace into chaos.
Despite the grand scale of the event, in the early morning when the sky was just beginning to brighten, not many of these high-ranking officials who were merely occupying their positions without performing their duties had actually started working.
Honest noticed the unusual tremor. Very few people could cause such a commotion in the past, and it could only be Esdeath's Teigu that had gone berserk.
Where are they? Where's the communications officer from earlier?
Honest surveyed the surrounding area. None of the subordinates Esdeath had ordered to check the situation had returned. Now, he had no choice but to go out and investigate himself.
"Which one will be the one to die at a time like this... What a spoilsport..."
Honest shuffled his bulky body with unsteady steps, and just as he reached the door, he saw a young girl in armor salute him.
Honest didn't recognize the girl, but Honest vaguely remembered the armor she was wearing. It was the special uniform of the high-ranking Imperial Guard from Districts 11 to 14. When that guy named Ogre came to him to offer tribute, Honest glared at him, and he was wearing just like that.
"Reporting to Lord Honest, due to special circumstances with our agent, I am here to inform you—"
"Just a lowly member of the Imperial Guard... never mind! Tell me what happened!"
Honest was already somewhat displeased. The girl, Seryu, shook her chestnut ponytail and lowered her head slightly.
"It's the ' Night Raid ' unit. The Night Raid unit is back."
"What nonsense are you spouting? The Night Raid team—they've all been wiped out! Are you sure you saw it clearly? Go back and look again right now! No... I have to go see for myself..."
Minister Honest was about to shove Seryu aside when he felt a chill on his neck.
A red spear was pressed against Minister Honest's neck from behind, but it hesitated to penetrate.
Behind Honest, a suit of armor that had been concealed slowly revealed its true form.
Inside the armor, Tatsumi was already drenched in sweat.
"This old man... how can his muscles be so hard?"
To forge one's body to the point of invulnerability—I wonder who in the world could achieve that?
In my memory, Sten, one of the " Four Rakshasa Demons," was not afraid of swords, spears, or lances, but he did not have that kind of resilience. Lin Feng was able to achieve this level by gathering the power of Bloodsucking. Even when Tatsumi tried his best to stab his own " Red-Backed Shrike," he could only cause a slight abrasion to the back of Honest's neck.
"Hey, hey, hey... is this Bulat?"
Honest turned around in surprise to look at the armor behind him. It was undoubtedly the Imperial Arms of Lieutenant General Bulat, the former Hundred-Man Killer, who had defected from the Imperial Capital Palace during the ' Night Raid ' and joined the Imperial Army. Teigu ' Demon Incursion '.
Because it possesses many unique functions such as invisibility, even though the Imperial Capital later gathered a large group of scientists to try to replicate the performance of this armor, the resulting ' Grand Chariot ' could not be equipped with any invisibility device.
This is why this set of armored Teigu left a particularly deep impression on Honest.
"... You know, it's true, Lin Feng only killed four female key members of the Night Raid that day... So, the ashes of the others were just for show?"
Honest revealed a wicked expression, seemingly unconcerned about Lin Feng's matter.
Honest would be content as long as Mine, Leone Akame, and Najenda completely disappeared from this world.
He had long considered that even if the other male members crawled out from underground one day to seek revenge, he would be able to handle it.
But the next second, Honest's eyes widened in surprise, and he was speechless.
Four pairs of red eyes—just like Akame's— stared intently at him from behind the Imperial Guard girl.
Those were none other than the four female members of ' Night Raid' —the four girls he had watched die right before his eyes from Lin Feng's sharp teeth.
"How is this possible... you guys..."
No Teigu has ever been able to bring someone back to life, nor has any Teigu ever been able to heal wounds.
Teigu Arms are nothing more than a synonym for destruction and annihilation, and when the four people he had confirmed were reunited before Honest, Honest was filled with shock.
"Is there any Teigu in this world that I don't know about?"
Honest casually reached behind him, his palm strike incredibly fast. Only Tatsumi, with his arduous training day and night and the added boost of his ' Demon Incursion ' high-speed mobility, managed to barely dodge it.
Tatsumi had rolled far away, gathered his power behind him, while behind the four Night Raid members with red eyes— Lubbock and Susanoo, one tall and one short—they completely blocked the last exit.
This time it was a true ' Night Raid ' and a standoff between the entire team and Honest.
Seeing this scene, Honest's mind could no longer contain the strange golden light and loud noise he had just witnessed.
" Honest, surrender."
"Your guards have all been dealt with by our people, and Esdeath will not come as you wish."
Najenda spoke coldly from the doorway.
To be honest, if Esdeath really came, according to Najenda's calculations, the ' Night Raid ' force would probably be completely wiped out.
"Hehe... hehehehe..."
However, Honest showed no sign of fear.
