Report

In the imperial capital, [Dead Soul] appeared.

This was a very popular topic in the imperial capital recently.

[Dead Soul].

He came and went without a trace.

The first time he appeared was on the way when the guards of the imperial capital escorted two killers in the night attack. He defeated the guards with Teigu users with overwhelming power and rescued all the killers in the night attack.

The second time he appeared was in the palace. He sneaked into the palace alone, killed a Teigu user who had the ability to control traps from the front, and then took away his Teigu. Before the guards reacted, he disappeared without a trace.

The third time, the fourth time … No one knew how he appeared, no one knew how he disappeared, and no one knew what he wanted to do.

It was really like the name he said, just like [Dead Soul], he did not show any figure or trace, he only took people's heads in the dark.

The people of the night attack tried to find [Dead Soul], but they failed every time.

Under the leadership of the new captain Yin-yang who almost caught three Teigu users as soon as he took office, the guards of the imperial capital also searched for the trace of [Dead Soul], but there was no clue.

Gradually, [Dead Soul] had become the same as [Night Attack], the name that made countless people afraid.

Under such circumstances, the general of the empire, Esders, returned to the capital.

… …

Although the empire was the most powerful force in the world, there were still many forces around the empire, trying to cut a piece of meat from the huge piece of meat of the empire.

The east was an uncivilized island, and there was no discussion.

In the west, there was a kingdom comparable to the empire in the far distance, and there were also western foreign nations nearby.

In the south, there were also a large number of pirates on the southern islands, and there were also southern foreign nations nearby.

In the north, there were a large number of dangerous species on the endless frozen land, and there were also northern foreign nations nearby.

Among the above three, the southern foreign nations had been exterminated a few years ago.

It was said that at that time, the empire had originally sent more than 100,000 troops to wipe out the rebellious southern tribes, but because of many reasons such as the climate and the dangers of the mountains and forests, they were held back. Finally, after sending General Esdeath, the southern tribes were quickly pacified and exterminated in the blink of an eye, causing the southern tribes to be directly destroyed in a fire.

Then, a few months ago, the foreign tribes in the north led an army of 400,000 to invade the border.

General Esders accepted the order once more and led the army to the north.

According to the speculations of the generals, even General Esders would need at least a year to pacify the north.

However, just three months later, Esders returned from the northern border. The 400,000 strong army of the non-human tribes in the north was killed by her mercilessly, and the entire tribe was exterminated once again.

Moreover, most of the time had been wasted on the march. Otherwise, her speed of extermination would have been even faster.

After the foreign tribes in the north were also annihilated, Esders temporarily abandoned the army at the border and only rode a Flying Dragon all the way from the border to the imperial capital.

On that day, a five-meter-long Flying Dragon, which was at least the same size as Ryuga's Flying Dragon, flew across the sky of the Imperial Capital.

Ryuga's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the woman's figure in the sky.

"The most powerful person in the empire, Esders."

The woman riding on the back of the Flying Dragon passed through the sky and landed from the sky until she reached the gate of the palace. She walked into the palace on foot.

"You actually came back so fast."

Originally, Ryuga planned to kill all the Teigu users on the side of the empire as soon as possible and weaken the top combat power of the empire. However, in the past few days, he only killed two Teigu users, and the result was not significant.

Even if most of the Teigu were lost in history, and many fell into the hands of the people, the revolutionary army, and the night attack, the number of Teigu users on the side of the empire could not be less than ten.

Among them, there were even Teigu users who were the head of the empire's generals, like General Bude, whose strength was beyond imagination.

"I have no choice, let's go to see the most powerful person in the empire in advance."

Ryuga pushed the glasses on his face, and his eyes became cold without any emotion.

Because of the [Noble Value Upgrade Task], he would fight with Esders sooner or later. It was better to find out her strength as soon as possible. If he could kill her, he would kill her. If he couldn't kill her, it would be convenient for him to make subsequent countermeasures.

He was very confident in his hiding ability and escape ability. Even if he really couldn't beat her, it should not be a problem to escape.

Even if he couldn't, he also had the ultimate trump card.

Ryuga touched the second curse-type magic dress in his hand and thought silently.

… …

At night.

Today was a bright moon, the moon in the sky was bright and there were few stars, even the dark clouds could not be seen.

The bright moonlight shone on the earth, making the earth seem to be covered with a layer of silver frost, making the imperial capital fall into a quiet atmosphere.

Ryuga did a good disguise, put on a cloak and a voice changer, changed back to the state of the [Dead Spirit], came to the foot of the palace, used invisible magic to hide his body, crossed the 20-meter-high wall and entered the palace.

Ryuga, who was entering the palace for the third time, easily found the palace where Esders was staying.

Unlike the palace where the ministers lived, Esders's palace was very simple. There were almost no extra decorations and it looked no different from the palace where the servants lived.

However, Esders's bedroom was at the top of the palace tower.

Ryuga leaped along the outer wall of the tower and without making a sound, he arrived at the balcony of Esders's bedroom.

"Splash …"

There was the sound of water flowing in the bedroom. In the bathroom, there was a slender figure taking a shower. However, he could not see the figure as the door was blocking his view.

Ryuga used a rune to open the window of the balcony quietly. He then walked into the room and waited quietly.

Since he had learned half a step into [Supreme Territory] during the battle with Yi's Nest Constellation, Ryuga could freely control his combat energy and killing intent. As long as he tried his best to hide it, he would not even reveal his killing intent.

The sound of water flowing in the bathroom stopped after a few minutes.

Then, there was the sound of cloth touching skin. It was probably someone wiping their body and changing their clothes.

Another half a minute later.

"Creak —"

Accompanied by a slight sound, the bathroom door was opened.

Then, a female figure walked out of the bathroom.

She had long, sky-blue hair that reached her ankles and flowed down her back like a stream of water.

Her ice-blue eyes were very casual and deep. Her facial features were exquisite as if they were carved out of porcelain. Her face was a very standard oval face.

Her skin was crystal clear and as white as snow. Her figure was very tall, and her curves were extremely impressive. Her entire body was filled with a domineering aura, and she had an infinite charm that could captivate one's soul.

Because she had just finished bathing, she was only wearing a white shirt. Although it covered the important parts, it still exposed her slender snow-white legs and large areas of skin.

"— —!"

In an instant, the sword aura resonated and clanged!
