Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

Like wild animals, they are always more sensitive to danger. After all, under the law of the jungle, if you are not sensitive to danger, you will easily become food.

I haven't felt this kind of danger in a long time.

It was precisely because of this that she did not act rashly, but watched helplessly as the city gates fell and the workers' and peasants' army entered the city.

That doesn't matter anymore.

"who are you?"

She suddenly became interested in the boy in front of her. She had never heard of such a boy before, and she was the strongest. Even General Bude back then had not been able to give her such a dangerous feeling.

So this young man in front of her is even stronger than General Bude and even stronger than her.

That's so unexpected.

"Humph……"

The boy curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

A bright, radiant smile, even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

"Seven Nights".

This is his answer.

"My name is Shichiya, and this is Febri. We've come to take you to another world."

The words were phrased in a slightly euphemistic way.

However, the meaning is quite clear: we're here to kill you.

"Oh ho..."

Esdeath raised her hand and adjusted her hat.

They came to kill her?

interesting.

It's been a long time since anything this interesting has happened. Since becoming the strongest, almost no one has dared to say to her, "We're here to kill you."

The few who did exist were long gone.

"Can you kill me?"

Although Nanaya gave her a sense of danger, she wasn't worried because of the existence of the Mahapadma technique.

If she can freeze time and space, she can easily kill her opponent.

But can't it be killed?

"Ha ha……"

Qi Ye smiled again.

His left eye, red, seemed to flash with light.

Esdeath was still a little confused when she suddenly felt a burning pain in her left hand.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered a flame burning her arm, with skin and muscle gradually disappearing, and the flames even spreading throughout her entire body.

"What……"

He was secretly alarmed.

Without much thought, he casually conjured an ice crystal longsword, cut off his left hand, and quickly jumped to the side.

Before the arm could even fall to the ground, it was completely engulfed in flames and then disappeared.

The flames could disappear at any moment.

"what happened?"

Esdeath was somewhat taken aback.

Use ice crystals to freeze your wounds and prevent excessive blood loss.

Then he looked at Qiye.

"An Imperial Arms that manipulates flames?"

It seems not.

This boy in front of me is dangerous.

No, it's not just danger; if she doesn't kill him, she'll be killed.

Esdeath, realizing this, didn't think much of it.

"Mahāprabhāṣṭa!"

Everything came to a standstill.

The shouts of battle, the somewhat noisy wind, and everything else all ceased.

Esdeath pressed the pause button on time.

Seven Nights was also suspended.

He rushed to Qiye's side and thrust his ice crystal sword into Qiye's heart, killing him and the little girl named Febri.

Then, the skill duration ends.

He didn't pay much attention to the corpse lying on the ground.

Once you're dead, you don't need to care anymore.

Then, he headed towards the palace alone, because Akame and the others were there, and he was going to kill them, kill the workers' and peasants' soldiers, and kill everyone else.

kill!kill!kill!

She abides by the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak; the weak can only be killed, and killing the weak is not wrong.

So we must kill, keep killing, keep killing...

……

"uh-huh."

With her back to Febri, Nanaya circled around Esdeath, who stood there blankly, carefully examining her.

"Tsk tsk..."

He smacked his lips, seemingly expressing some admiration.

"Your figure is quite good!"

He said that.

As he spoke, he reached out and touched and pinched Esdeath here and there.

Esdeath did not react at all.

"Seven Nights, what happened to her?"

"It's nothing, she's just lost in her own world and can't pull herself out."

Qi Ye shook his head.

Is it really that hard to win over Esdeath?

For him, it was not difficult at all, because he was not human, not an ordinary person. In the eyes of many ordinary people, he was probably a god, a powerful god who could wipe out a million-strong army with a flick of his wrist.

Esdeath, after all, was just a person, and Nanaya could easily kill her.

But not at Seven Nights.

He merely used illusion magic through his mental abilities to immerse Esdeath in her own world, allowing her to do whatever she wanted and kill to her heart's content in this illusory realm.

Perhaps, after she has killed all the workers and peasants of the army and all the foreign races, she will turn her attention to the people of the empire.

And after that?

They might be able to kill everyone in the empire and then turn their attention to other creatures.

In the end, she killed all the living, leaving only herself.

Then again?

Perhaps they will suddenly realize the truth, or perhaps they will kill themselves.

I'd guess the latter.

"It would be good if they could come to their senses."

Qi Ye shook his head.

Then, Esdeath, who was lost in the illusion, was taken into the space of her right eye.

He didn't intend to kill her.

At the very least, we should let him study the Imperial Arm "Demon Manifestation: Essence of the Demon" before making any decisions. After all, this thing actually has a hidden skill that can freeze time and space, which is very worthy of study.

“Let’s go, Febri.”

"where to?"

"Let's go to the palace and continue watching the live-action war movie."

Qi Ye smiled.

Before Febri could say anything, he teleported away.

……

The street fighting continues.

By this time, the Workers' and Peasants' Army had many Imperial Arms users, as well as those created by Nanaya, each capable of taking on a hundred or even a thousand men. Under their leadership, the Workers' and Peasants' Army advanced with unstoppable momentum, conquering street after street.

The Imperial Army was on the verge of collapse.

The common people hid in their homes, afraid to come out, fearing that they would be killed by the Workers' and Peasants' Army or the Imperial Army. After all, in the heat of battle, anything could happen.

However, even those who stayed at home were still affected.

This was inevitable.

On the battlefield, swords and guns are merciless and anyone can die.
