"Here is …"
In the room, Esders opened her eyes, and the memory fragments made her unable to recover at the moment. "I remember, I should be dead …"
"You are indeed dead, but you are resurrected."
The familiar voice came to her ears, and Esders raised her head and then looked at the two people opposite her.
She did not know the woman who had been talking and laughing, but the young man next to her, she felt inexplicably familiar.
After returning from the world of Akame Pupili, Ryuga returned to her original 12-year-old appearance. Because she had become a ghost, her height and weight would not change, but she could change her body shape at will through the skill of [Change], so she did not care about this kind of thing.
"… Yin-yang?"
Esders always felt that the young man in front of her was somewhat familiar. Until she saw Yatsufusa in his hand, she raised her eyebrows slightly, recovered and recognized his real body.
However, even if she recognized his real body, Esders did not fight with him immediately. Instead, she looked down at the position of her heart. After seeing that her heart recovered, she showed a surprised look and then moved her hands and feet.
"It seems that it is not an illusion, and the blood on my body is not fake … Am I really resurrected?"
Esders clenched her fists. Not only did she not feel the weakness when she was close to death, but she even felt that her whole body was full of strength as if her body had infinite vitality.
"It's amazing, I have never heard of such a Teigu. Can alchemy even do resurrection?"
She seemed to be talking to herself as she fell into surprise and doubt.
This woman was still as calm as ever. Just like when she was teleported to the island, she didn't panic at all. Now, even if she came back from the dead, it didn't change her terrifyingly strong will and extremely calm mind.
"It's not alchemy."
Ryuga said in a timely manner and interrupted Esders's soliloquy. "You should be able to feel it now, the blood connection between you and me."
"Connection?"
Esders narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while, as if he was feeling the changes in his body. Then, he frowned. "Indeed, I can feel this connection."
"Also, it's the kind of connection that feels like a subordinate meeting a superior. It's filled with the strict and oppressive power of class order."
When a high-level ghost transformed a human into a low-level ghost, it used its own blood, so it had a terrifying control over the transformed ghost.
According to Zhu Shi, he was able to unconditionally control the life and death of the Flesh-Eating Demons under his command. He could even plant a curse in their blood that would cause them to self-destruct if they spoke the name of the Ghost King. If he was close enough, he could even read the thoughts and memories of the Flesh-Eating Demons.
Of course, that was under the condition that Wu Piao's Ghost Blood was strong enough. Ryuga's Ghost Seed Demon was only B-Rank, and the Ghost Blood was only at the level of First String. Her control over the Ghost transformed from her own hands had not reached that level yet.
The Ghost King was not the only one who could transform humans into ghosts. If one had a certain level of understanding of Ghost Blood, or if the concentration of Ghost Blood reached the level of First String, they could transform humans into ghosts.
For example, Yushi was transformed into a ghost by Zhu Shi. However, Zhu Shi's Ghost Blood concentration was very low, so he did not have much control over Yushi.
The higher the concentration of Ghost Blood, the stronger the control over the Ghost under his command.
With Ryuga's Ghost Blood at the level of First String, the most she could do was forcefully stop the movement of Ghost Blood in Esders's body, causing it to enter a state of stillness.
"In other words, the reason why I'm revived is because I was turned into a ghost by you? No wonder I felt something was wrong with my body, I felt more energetic. "
Esders nodded in understanding, but then she noticed the key point in Ryuga's words. "According to what you said, once you stop the movement of Ghost Blood in my body, what will happen to me?"
"You'll turn back into a dead person."
Liu Xia gave the answer straightforwardly. "Because you were originally a dead person who turned into a ghost. The reason why you were able to turn into a ghost was because I used Necromancy to lock your soul in your body. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to turn into a ghost when your soul had already dissipated."
Even Ghost Dancer Wu Bei could only turn a person into a ghost when they were still alive. That was because even Ghost Dancer Wu Bei could not control the soul.
However, Ryuga who had learned Necromancy Magic could control souls. So even if it was a dead person, as long as the soul had not dissipated, he could still stuff it into a corpse and use it again.
This way, there was a huge benefit.
That was, once Ryuga decided to stop the movement of Ghost Blood in Esders's body, Esders, who was relying on Ghost Blood to sustain her life, would immediately turn back into a dead person.
Then, he could use Yatsufusa to cut her, and she could still be used as a corpse.
"So you're saying that you plan to control me?"
As expected, the look on Esdeath's face became dangerous, and a wild look appeared in her eyes. "It's not enough to betray me once, and you want to control me in turn. You're really something, Yin and Yang."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was some kind of grudge in her heart.
It was true that Esders advocated the idea of the weak being eaten by the strong, but this did not mean that she had lost her feelings as a normal person. Being betrayed by her trusted subordinate, and even being killed in turn, was enough to make her feel unhappy.
But before she died, she thought that there was nothing she could do about it, so she gave up on it.
In the end, she did not expect that this guy would resurrect her and even want to control her further. This was like putting her dignity in a corner and trampling on it.
This made Esders very angry.
This was the first time she felt so angry. Even when she was killed by Ryuga, she did not feel anything wrong, but only now did she feel deeply insulted.
She advocated the idea of the weak being eaten by the strong, but that did not mean that she was obedient. Since she was the weak, dying in the hands of the strong was very normal, but this strong person should not think that he could make her bend her knees and abandon her dignity.
In the end, she was the Queen of Sadism. There was no reason for her to become a Masochist.
"This might be a bit too much."
Ryuga thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
If it was in the past, he would have most likely turned Esders back into a corpse, and then let Dotya out to replace Esders.
But now that Ryuga had gained feelings, she felt the same way Esders thought and agreed with Esders's words.
"In that case, let's make a deal."
