" Lin Feng, you have your will, and I can fully feel how strong it is."
With her long, slender legs, Esdeath walked step by step toward Lin Feng.
With each step, a dazzling ice crystal bloomed beneath his feet, seemingly a funeral flower prepared by Esdeath for Lin Feng's ice tomb.
As the ice crystals bloomed, the surrounding temperature began to drop sharply, and Esdeath's killing intent grew stronger and stronger, reaching a level that Lin Feng had never felt before.
Lin Feng only felt a pressure completely different from before when he realized that Esdeath had completely stepped down from her high position as general and was now at the same level as Lin Feng.
'So Esdeath's power is this exaggerated... I thought she was already very strong, but I never imagined that her killing intent alone could reach this level.'
Clearly, the Ice Queen's power exceeded Lin Feng's expectations.
'But just how strong you are, you'll only know once you make your move.'
"Are you ready to bow down in worship, Lin Feng?"
Esdeath began to vent her pent-up anger.
Without making any hand movements, Esdeath's expression had already darkened.
A chilling aura swept over him from behind. Lin Feng looked back and saw thick icicles rising from the ground, relentlessly piercing his body like a venomous ouroboros.
The speed was incredibly fast, and the hardness of the ice spikes was also unusually fierce.
Lin Feng dodged to the left, and another thick ice pillar suddenly pierced towards him. Countless ice spikes formed an ice and snow prison, and the more he dodged, the narrower the escape route became.
Lin Feng gathered the [ Power of Alucard ] under his feet, unleashing a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people in an instant.
"Call out--!"
He flashed behind Esdeath, a speed that clearly caught the Ice Queen off guard.
Lin Feng grabbed Esdeath's wrist with his right hand and pulled hard, but surprisingly, he didn't break Esdeath's bones, which greatly surprised Lin Feng.
Then, a strange smile appeared on Esdeath's lips.
Only then did Lin Feng realize that the part of his wrist connected to Esdeath's was already encased in a solid mass of ice.
Under the seal of the extreme ice, Lin Feng had lost control of his wrist.
The extremely low temperature prevented ' Alucard's' Bloodsucking blood from flowing back into his body, and Lin Feng couldn't even turn that wrist into a black shadow.
Of all the opponents he had encountered, this was the first time Lin Feng had ever felt such a powerful being exist.
"It's over."
While freezing Lin Feng's body, Esdeath conjured a long, razor-sharp ice sword from her other hand and thrust it fiercely at Lin Feng's heart!
Now Lin Feng had to be on guard. Lin Feng twisted his frozen wrist with all his might, but because his nerves were also frozen, Lin Feng didn't feel any pain.
In this way, Lin Feng lost a hand, but avoided the fatal blow.
"Hehe... This time it's a hand, what will it be next time~"
Esdeath, with a wicked smile, walked towards Lin Feng once again. Anyone who saw her now would only think of her as a terrifying monster.
Accustomed to crushing, torturing, and executing enemies with relish, and masterful of both physiological and psychological techniques in torturing and interrogating them, this is the tactic of the empire's most powerful general.
However, at this moment, Esdeath's eyes widened in astonishment at what she saw.
Because Lin Feng's lost wrist regenerated on its own in a very short time, almost without any difference from before.
[ Alucard Physique: Passive Level 2]
[After skill upgrade, you gain the ability to quickly heal even lost body parts. This healing effect is significantly stronger than before.]
Lin Feng, meanwhile, stared at Esdeath nonchalantly, his eyes still holding the same arrogant, crimson gaze as before.
Every time Esdeath saw that cold red color, she would become lost in it and unable to extricate herself. However, now that Lin Feng was her enemy, Esdeath was determined to abandon all sentimentality and take Lin Feng's head.
'It seems he possesses two Teigu, one of the "Shadow" type and the other of the "Regeneration" type... That's unheard of.'
'However, even the strongest Teigu Arms can't compare to me, Esdeath. I became the general of this country before I even possessed ' Demon's Extract '!'
Esdeath leaped high into the air in anger, conjuring a massive ice ball from her fingertips. The ice ball nearly touched the ceiling of the vast palace, and it was hard to imagine the impact such a huge ice ball would have on the palace when it crashed down.
"Stop, Esdeath! Do you want to destroy my palace too?!"
The young emperor said in a panic.
"Your Majesty, just watch! Watch my battle!"
Esdeath laughed ecstatically; she had never imagined that her battle with Lin Feng could be so enjoyable.
The ice puck hovered high in the sky, and every time Esdeath struck the puck, a spear-like ice lance would detach from it and fall straight down towards Lin Feng on the ground.
Esdeath kicked the giant ice ball wildly, and in an instant, thousands of exceptionally sharp spears flew towards Lin Feng, like a waterfall of arrows being unleashed on a lone soldier.
"If cutting off a piece of flesh is okay, then being shot into a pulp is also okay? Huh?!"
" Form Transformation."
Lin Feng quickly collapsed from the ground into a dark shadow, within which Esdeath saw many crimson eyes.
The eye spread from the shadows in all directions, finally appearing on Esdeath's ice block, blood flowing freely from its eye.
The surroundings began to darken, and the eyes emitted a blood-red light towards Esdeath, seemingly trying to devour Esdeath completely.
This is Lin Feng's illusion technique. Against all his previous enemies, Lin Feng could easily subdue them with just one illusion technique.
Esdeath looked into those eyes, which seemed to be uttering their judgmental pronouncements upon her.
"Sinful people, cleanse your filthy souls!"
"Go forth and be reborn, seek the true glory of this beast!"
"Get out of here."
Esdeath drew an ice spear from her hand and pierced through the eyes repeatedly, blood gushing out.
In an instant, the sky turned from black to blue, and the surrounding scenery completely overlapped with what it had been before. The eyes on the dark figure also disappeared.
Even the slightest wavering in her heart could be destroyed by Lin Feng's illusion magic, but Esdeath was an absolutely steadfast person.
Therefore, this tactic was completely ineffective against Esdeath.
"Submit!"
Esdeath used her slender legs to kick the ice puck, which resembled an ammunition depot, frantically. Ice shards pounded the ground as she continued to launch a barrage of attacks on Lin Feng.
