Chapter 472 Perhaps You Can Be My Lover
"We won!"
Ten centimeters — seven centimeters — five centimeters — three centimeters — Esdeath's sharp ice stabs forward, getting closer and closer to Roy's heart.
On that stunningly beautiful and aloof face, every tiny pore seemed to exude an aura of pleasure. She might never encounter anyone stronger than Roy again, so she had to savor every second of killing him.
Time and spacetime froze, and Roy remained frozen in place.
Just as Esdeath thought victory was assured, the icy sword, radiating a chilling light, slowly pierced through Roy's body. There was no physical form, and no blood gushed out.
The latter was like a phantom, impossible to touch no matter how the ice sword swung.
Esdeath was slightly taken aback.
The next moment, she realized what was happening, her pupils dilated in shock, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Afterimage!"
The speed that burst forth in an instant was too fast. Due to the inertia, the phantom left in place was able to cope with her frozen spacetime!
"Where?"
Esdeath's confident feeling vanished without a trace. She gritted her teeth and searched her surroundings, but she couldn't find Roy anywhere.
As time passed, the icy chill gradually dissipated, and the colors of the world returned to normal. The Mahaprabhātu is an extremely energy-consuming technique; Esdeath can only use it once a day. Maintaining the frozen timeline for even a second increases her stamina consumption exponentially.
"It's up there!"
At the same moment, Esdeath sensed Roy's presence and looked up abruptly, but it was too late. Her wide, icy blue pupils reflected Roy's figure and the merciless hand chops that fell down.
Just as she didn't hesitate to stab Roy in the heart with her ice sword, Roy wouldn't hold back either.
This is a battle to the death, a brutal fight to the death!
Esdeath instinctively raised her ice sword to block, and at the moment of contact, a crisp "crack" sounded as Roy's hand chopped the ice sword in two.
Immediately afterwards, it slammed down on Esdeath's head, the terrifying force pouring into it, a crisp sound of bones cracking rang out, and the latter's eyes lost their luster.
boom!!
Esdeath tilted to one side, then crashed heavily to the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently, cracks to spread wildly, and thick dust to rise.
Roy landed, shook his sore hand, and said, "Sorry, I did have a strategy guide!"
Using the "Intuition" skill, one enters a state of foresight, anticipating Esdeath's movements. Just as the opponent uses "Mahapadma," one unleashes full power, reaching speeds approaching LV.9 to escape.
Mahapadma is not a regular time stop, but a physical phenomenon. Esdeath releases cold air, cooling the surrounding area until it reaches absolute zero, which is theoretically impossible, and the movement between molecules completely stops.
The cold air takes time to spread, so there is a very short pre-cast animation when this secret technique is activated.
However, this move has the effect of killing someone on first sight.
If it weren't for Roy, a powerful individual who had prior knowledge of the situation, anyone else, even with greater strength, would have been easily defeated by Esdeath's ability to freeze time and space.
Esdeath had never seen anything so brutal before.
Roy already knew how to counter the secret technique he had just developed—a method of dimensional reduction.
"Huff! Huff!"
Roy was also greatly exhausted. His legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground, breathing rapidly. Whether it was the state of foreseeing the future or bursting at full speed, it put a lot of strain on his body and mental strength, especially since he was already seriously injured, which made his injuries worse.
The bones in his body made faint sounds, like a dilapidated, crumbling house.
At that moment, something unusual ahead caught Roy's attention.
Bang!
Roy stared at the deep crater in front of him. Amidst the mess of ice shards and bloodstains, Esdeath slowly got up. Her long, icy blue hair was soaked in thick blood and stuck messily to her pale, paper-like cheeks and broken forehead. Her body was covered in wounds.
"Truly tenacious!" Roy frowned, but he was certain that the chop he had just delivered had shattered the other man's skull; the sensation he felt at that moment was unmistakable.
Esdeath's faint breath as she fell to the bottom of the valley proved that the other party had suffered a fatal injury.
This is a final burst of energy before death!
"Ughhhhhh!!"
A piercing scream, a mixture of extreme pain, resentment, and hysterical madness, tore from Esdeath's bloodied throat, as ferocious as a savage beast.
Esdeath's originally icy blue pupils were now stained with a violent crimson, her eyes devoid of any rationality, filled only with the most primal madness, a desire to tear her prey to shreds. A low, inhuman roar rolled from her throat, like that of a wounded, dying beast.
Bang!
She seemed to transform into a crazed beast, exuding a strong sense of bloodlust and reckless ferocity. On all fours, she pounced on Roy with even greater speed than before, causing the earth to shatter.
Roy's eyes narrowed, and he pushed off with his feet, trying to dodge. Suddenly, a burning pain, like a venomous snake biting, shot through his knees, as he felt a tendon tearing.
This caused him to pause.
It was by that tiny margin that a stench filled the air, and Esdeath's hideous, blood-stained face was right in front of her.
In a flash, Roy abandoned his attempt to dodge, his steel-like forearm muscles bulging like iron as he parried upwards, blocking Esdeath's snapping fangs.
Click!
With a dull thud, teeth clashed against bone. Esdeath's bloodshot eyes stared intently at Roy, her sharp white teeth digging deep into the muscles and bones of Roy's forearm like a trap.
Warm blood instantly stained her gums!
Despite the excruciating pain, Roy didn't even flinch. Almost at the same instant his jaw snapped shut, his thigh muscles tensed, and he lashed out with a fierce blow.
Bang!
Esdeath was kicked by Roy, her clenched teeth were forced to loosen, and she fell backward in a sorry state, sprawling with torn flesh and blood.
"Roar!" The pain did not make Esdeath back down, but instead completely ignited her bestial nature. Like an enraged lion, she rolled on the ground and then sprang up again, letting out an even more violent roar. She pounced hysterically again, her finger bones even piercing her flesh. However, this time, the situation was completely different.
Roy's figure swayed slightly, easily dodging Esdeath's ferocious attack.
We came up empty-handed!
Pounce again!
Empty again!
Esdeath seemed to have transformed into a super-dangerous species, descending into utter madness, launching pounces and claw attacks with increasing speed and ferocity, each strike accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air.
Roy's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Was he being controlled by the consciousness of the Teigu—a Super Dangerous Species—after being struck hard on the head?
However, there are cases in the world where corruption can make one ten times stronger, but berserk states are not included in this category; in fact, they can even weaken oneself.
Roy's eyes reflected Esdeath's twisted and increasingly furious face. Abandoning all skills, he became a ferocious beast, and his attack patterns became simple.
call out!
Roy was like a fallen leaf in a storm, or a prophet who could foresee the future. His figure moved nimbly and agilely in the small space, turning sideways, shifting slightly, leaning back—his movements were surprisingly small, yet he always managed to avoid Esdeath's attacks by the slightest margin.
Having honed his skills in the dungeons and endured countless battles, he is an expert at hunting monsters.
Tire the monster out and seize the opportunity to counterattack!
Bang!
Esdeath's sharp teeth, carrying a stench, tore through the air once more, lunging towards Roy's throat.
Roy's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He stopped dodging, clenched his fist, and unleashed a powerful punch that landed squarely on Esdeath's face.
The power instantly penetrated through flesh and bone, reaching deep into Esdeath's consciousness, which was overwhelmed by bestiality.
thump!
Esdeath's face contorted, and she was sent flying through the air like a kite with a broken string, her body crashing heavily to the ground.
The effect was remarkable; the intense, savage crimson in her eyes quickly faded.
Instead, there is the clarity of reason!
"You win!"
Esdeath's fierce expression vanished without a trace, and her gaze towards Roy was now filled with relief and complexity. Victory or defeat was decided in an instant, and Roy seized the opportunity. She lost, completely and utterly!
She felt relieved because she believed she was too weak and that being killed by someone stronger was only natural. The law of the jungle and survival of the fittest were her life motto, and she harbored no resentment.
The complexity lies in the fact that they didn't see Roy's true strength. Roy was severely injured, dragging his overburdened body and one arm. Roy defeated her fair and square without resorting to tricks or schemes. What else is there to say?
Indeed, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!
"Perhaps you can become my lover—" Esdeath offered a gentle smile.
Roy was taken aback. What was this guy babbling about on the brutal battlefield?
A dying person's words are often good!
This principle applies to everyone, including Esdeath. Roy shrugged: "It's a pity I can't give you a pure smile."
Esdeath has five requirements for her lover.
First, someone who values future possibilities and aspires to become a general; second, someone who will hunt dangerous species with her unarmed; third, someone who grew up in a border region like her; fourth, someone younger than her who is easily controlled by her; and fifth, preferably someone with a pure smile!
Roy didn't think he could meet the above requirements, especially since he wasn't even from this world.
"That's a pity. It's rare to meet a man stronger than me," Esdeath said wistfully.
Esdeath's gaze sent chills down Roy's spine. Her courtship requirements were based on the premise that she was superior to her potential partner; if the roles were reversed—
Will the conqueror eventually be conquered?!
After all, Esdeath had never encountered anyone stronger before, and she herself stood at the pinnacle of the world.
"I lost, but at least in that world, you were by my side—" Esdeath murmured.
call out!
Roy caught Esdeath's whisper, a voice filled with the final madness of a dying man, and sensed something was wrong. Without hesitation, he chopped her with his hand.
A streak of light slashed through the sky, grazing Esdeath's long, white swan neck and severing her.
Roy was ruthless in destroying the flower, and he did it with great ease.
"Ugh—"
Esdeath stared blankly at Roy, her head tilting and falling downwards, blood gushing out like a fountain.
However, a barely perceptible smile curled at the corners of her lips. Her secret technique had been activated, and no one could stop her. She would drag her opponent down with her.
Esdeath slowly closed her eyes, her life force extinguished!
Rumble!
The next moment, Esdeath's corpse transformed into icy cold air that spread outwards. The remaining power erupted instantly, distorting the entire sky. The leaden-gray clouds were torn apart by an invisible force, forming a vortex of ice with a destructive aura. Endless, bone-chilling frost winds transformed into tangible blades, cutting through every inch of space.
Roy cursed under his breath, "There's even a death sentence!"
Bang!
He dared not hesitate and fled into the distance, but the "Mahapadma" and berserk state he had just dealt with had been completely wiped out, and all his rest during this period had been wasted, and his injuries had worsened.
With each step he took, Roy felt as if the bones in his legs were about to crack, and excruciating pain surged into his brain like a tidal wave.
Crack!
Amidst the chilling sound, ice crystals condensed, and countless ice cavalrymen, each several meters tall, appeared out of thin air. They were clad in menacing heavy armor of ice and wielded giant spears, ice axes, and lances formed from frozen air.
The ice riders had hollow eyes, no neighing of warhorses, only a deathly silence that froze their souls.
Rumble! Rumble!!
Esdeath unleashed tens of thousands of secret techniques before her death, densely packed like an army of undead crawling out of the deepest hell. The ice cavalry formed an endless torrent emanating a chilling wave of death.
Without a horn, this legion of death, carrying a terrifying, all-crushing force, launched its final charge toward Roy, who stood alone.
The earth groaned and shattered beneath tens of thousands of icy hooves.
"I don't like women who are so clingy and unreasonable!"
Facing the massive ice cavalry torrent ahead, Roy grumbled, his eyes remaining calm and composed. He slowly raised his arm and pointed his fingers, transforming them into a blade.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Roy swung his arm, using the "Residual Light" technique to enhance his abilities, unleashing a dozen condensed slashes that tore through space and slashed forward.
The slash clashed violently with the torrent of ice riders!
Rumble!
It crumbles at the slightest touch! It shatters at the slightest touch!
The terrifying storm of slashing attacks, like a greedy beast, surged forward with unstoppable force, devouring everything in its path! Wherever it passed, the death legion composed of tens of thousands of ice cavalry, along with the frozen ground beneath their feet, the mountains behind them, and even the distant sky, all vanished into nothingness!
The seemingly indestructible heavy armor of ice and the freezing weapons were instantly torn apart, trillions of ice crystal fragments were scattered, and the figure of the ice cavalry quickly disappeared.
Only seven or eight huge cracks remained, embedded in the earth and stretching to the horizon.
In less than a minute, Esdeath's last stand before her death was dealt with by Roy in the most domineering way.
