Under the moonlight, in the palace.
The moment Esders walked out of the bathroom with water dripping from his icy blue hair, a majestic sword aura suddenly surged in the room.
Ryuga charged out from the darkness with the support of the Invisible Magic. Several layers of ring-shaped flames lingered on her sword, and then with a terrifying burst of speed, she stabbed out.
— — Form One: Indestructible Flame.
The Ghost's Breath sword technique that Ryuga had organized was the fastest stab technique. Although it was a stab technique, it was both offensive and defensive. The ring-shaped flames lingering on the sword also had the possibility of blocking and counterattacking.
The powerful sword aura lingered on the sword as it rapidly stabbed toward Esders's chest.
But just as the tip of Ryuga's sword was about to touch Esders, his sharp eyes noticed that this woman's beautiful face had a joyful smile.
"There really is an assassin. Don't underestimate my intuition."
In the next moment, several layers of transparent ice walls suddenly appeared in front of her chest, hiding her entire body behind the ice walls.
Ryuga's sword stabbed into the ice walls.
"Crack, crack, crack —"
The ice walls were extremely hard, but Ryuga still pierced through all of them in just half a second.
But after these layers of ice walls were pierced through, several more ice walls formed in front of Esders, blocking in front of her.
Ryuga's sword had lost its momentum, and there was no more chance for it to advance.
"Rumble —"
Immediately after, an icicle that was as thick as a water bucket emerged from the ice wall and stabbed toward Ryuga's chest.
Ryuga didn't hesitate to give up on the He Dao that was stuck in the ice wall. Then she quickly retreated in midair and quickly retreated to the balcony. Then she did a backflip and jumped from midair, landing on the ground outside the palace.
"Oh? You actually managed to dodge my attack? "
A voice full of interest came from above. Then, Esders, who had unknowingly put on a white high-ranking military officer's uniform, also jumped out of the bedroom and landed in front of Ryuga.
"I can't see your figure, and you use a blade as a means of attack. It seems that you are the [Undead] that has been causing a lot of trouble in the Imperial Capital recently."
Her face was naturally filled with the demeanor of a high and mighty queen, as well as a sense of ease no matter what she faced.
The white military officer's uniform on her body made her figure even more slender. The white military boots on her legs vividly displayed the strength of her legs.
"With me as your opponent, you don't plan to reveal your true body?"
Esdeath stood on the open space outside the palace, her eyes were full of interest as she glanced around.
And not far in front of her.
Ryuga was silent for a moment, but in the end, she still removed the invisible magic.
It wasn't because she was obedient, but because to maintain the effect of the magic, she needed to be single-minded and highly concentrated. But even if Ryuga could multitask, in the case of Esders as her opponent, she really couldn't hold back and had to put all her energy into the battle.
"Her appearance is as short as the rumors say."
Esders saw the figure of the [Undead] that appeared. Although he couldn't see her face because of the cloak and mask, her face still showed a satisfied expression.
"It's been a long time since I saw such a smooth assassination. Before you made your move, I really didn't notice at all. It's a pity that a talent like you died here."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Ryuga. Her five fingers were slender and sparkling like white jade. "How about it, do you want to join me? With your level, I can give you the same status as the Three Beasts, or even higher! "
She had a natural sense of superiority, and her queen-like demeanor made it seem natural for anyone to recruit her. There was no sense of contempt, but instead, it gave off a feeling of boundless dominance.
But this woman really had a big heart, to actually recruit an assassin to assassinate her … No, perhaps this was the strongest heart of the Empire. She had the tolerance to tolerate anyone, and was confident that she could turn her enemies into her own subordinates.
Ryuga reached out her hands, and the twin swords appeared in her hands once again.
The sword that was previously stuck in the ice wall was retrieved by the [Spirit Seed Transformation] and returned to her hands. This was the privilege of a [Spirit Seed Transformation] weapon.
"You don't want to communicate?"
Esders's eyes darkened, and the friendly atmosphere around her gradually disappeared, replaced by a bone-chilling killing intent. "If that's the case, then please me well!"
This killing intent was abnormally majestic, ten times stronger than that of a professional assassin like Ryuga. A normal person, no, even a general, if faced with this kind of killing intent, they might just lose their will to fight.
Under the effect of a Class A's calmness, Ryuga wasn't affected by the killing intent at all. Instead, she directly activated the Ghost Blood and the Enhancement Technique on her body.
In the blink of an eye, he had skillfully displayed his strongest state.
The cloak was sent flying by the two white jade horns on her forehead, but she still wore a mask on her face, and even wrapped in bandages, so she didn't have to worry about her face being exposed. Her whole body was covered in light green electric lines that symbolized the Enhancement Technique.
80 times the strength of a normal person, and she didn't hold back at all.
"Boom!"
Ryuga fiercely stomped on the ground, causing the stone floor to instantly crack. At the same time, her whole body was like an arrow released from a bow, rushing in the direction of Esders.
"Hmph!"
Esders coldly snorted, and her icy blue eyes became cold. She waved her hand at Ryuga.
In an instant, countless icicles emerged from the ground in the direction Liu Xia was heading. The tips of the icicles shone with a sharp luster, as if they could pierce through a person's body with just a touch.
Ryuga's golden eyes flashed slightly, and then her whole body stomped on the ground, as if she was flying at a low altitude, skimming over the ground covered with ice spikes. She came close to Esders, and her sword slashed towards her neck.
At full strength, Ryuga could probably finish off the berserk Hundred-Armed Giant in two or three moves.
But what was surprising was that Esders's reaction speed didn't lose to her at all. Even if Ryuga's speed was at the extreme, she could still react and set up a defensive ice wall beside her.
At the same time when the first slash was blocked by the endless ice wall, Ryuga used her other hand to swing a second slash at her.
But Esders also used her other hand to create an ice sword, and swung it to attack him.
"Clang clang clang clang — —"
In an instant, the sound of attacks in the palace didn't stop.
