Kerritt & Hazel: Scarlet Eyes: Chapter 52 Loyalty!

Although the appearance of such a huge dangerous species surprised Crydella and Hazel, when they thought about Esdeath's ability to release a thousand-meter-long ice wall that surrounded the Imperial Capital in the final battle of the original work, it didn't seem so exaggerated.

Even the Empire's mad scientist, Dr. Fashion, can create monsters hundreds of meters tall, so it's not incomprehensible that such a super dangerous species, thousands of meters tall, would appear.

Then there's Seryu's dog-shaped Teigu, which has the ability to change its size and even store weapons inside its body. While the limits are unknown, it's already incredibly powerful.

In any case, these Imperial Arms, and even some of the Imperial Arms, are all abnormal things, so the super dangerous species that are the raw materials for the Imperial Arms must not be ordinary creatures.

"No wonder they can create all sorts of bizarre Imperial Arms. It seems this Super Dangerous Type is a treasure trove of resources!"

"I was originally planning to take you in as a mount, but now... I'm sorry, I can't gamble with a warrior's life!"

Onphalus is facing a crisis, and Caesar must forcefully unite all forces to fight against the destruction of the world.

But in the world of Zhan Tong, there is no crisis of world destruction, only a group of insects fighting for power and profit... Most people pose no threat to the two demigods, and only this suddenly appearing behemoth can.

And at this moment, Krydela also came to a realization.

If she wants to conquer this dragon and make it completely submit to her, she will obviously have to pay a huge price.

Crydella had used up so much of her golden blood to create nearly 800 Golden Descendants. If this battle wiped out all 800 of them, Crydella would feel utterly cheated.

Loyal subordinates are not easy to find!

And it's not even certain whether this giant dragon can be tamed!

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Crydera abandoned the idea of ​​subduing the dragon and issued orders to all the Golden Blood...

"While ensuring our own safety, we will cooperate to attack the dragon and slay it here, leaving no future trouble!"

"Yes, sir!"

The pawns created by the power of law have been integrated into the bodies of all the Golden Blood, so Caesar's voice naturally reached everyone's ears.

However, these pieces are not only for communication; they can also enhance the Golden Generation of fused pieces to an unprecedented degree.

Just like in the game, the pieces can not only enhance their strength, but also accumulate power when the Golden One attacks. When the time is right, this accumulated power will be released, allowing the Golden One to unleash even greater power!

At this moment, every Golden Descendant was enveloped in blue light, and the fervor in their eyes reached its peak.

They had already been subdued by Caesar in the previous battle and swore allegiance to become members of the Golden Clan, but now... Caesar has given them even greater power?

Lord Caesar is so generous!

So, as warriors under Caesar, the only thing they could do to repay their lord Caesar was to say...

loyalty!

"kill--!"

The soldiers' roars were deafening, displaying an unprecedented killing intent and morale. An army with such willpower could surely defeat even the empire's elite troops.

Unfortunately, the Golden Bloodline's enemy this time was not human, but a legendary super-dangerous species, whose enormous pupils still revealed contempt.

Even if these ants are strong, in the eyes of the dragon they are just humans and spiders. Although humans are afraid of spiders, they can still kill them with a slipper. This is the absolute difference in strength!

At that moment, the dragon extended its sharp claws, as if a human were picking up a slipper to deliver a fatal blow, intending to clear away all obstacles in its path.

While the Golden Bloodline's strength had indeed increased, enabling them to inflict wounds on the dragon, the dragon's attacks, even after being assaulted by 800 Golden Bloodline members, did not cease.

There's nothing we can do about it. After all, they only recently became Golden Descendants. Although they possess considerable strength, it still depends on who they're compared to.

Compared to those soldiers, they were undoubtedly the strongest. But compared to the super-dangerous species, there was no comparison.

Therefore, of everyone present, only two and a half could truly pose a threat to the dragon…

Two and a half!

First is Keludela.

Since Her Majesty the Queen can bestow her power upon others, she can also bestow that power upon herself, and even receive some feedback from the Golden Descendants.

A gigantic phantom scepter appeared above Crydella's head, and the enormous gem on the phantom scepter burst forth with a dazzling blue light at that moment.

The next second, the enormous scepter smashed directly onto the dragon's head, slamming the dragon, which had stood up, back to the ground. Its head slammed hard into the ground, sending up a flurry of snowflakes.

"As expected of a dragon, and with both earth and fire attributes, its defense is truly strong!"

Even Krystalla couldn't help but sigh. Even though she had the idea of ​​subduing the other party in her mind, it would inevitably result in the sacrifice of the Golden Blood.

A wild beast whose control is uncertain, versus 800 powerful warriors loyal to you... the relative importance is quite obvious, isn't it?

"Let's do it now!"

This sudden attack disrupted the dragon's original plans and created an opportunity for the others.

Hazel's ghostly figure suddenly appeared at this moment, coming directly to the dragon's ear. She was another person who could harm the dragon.

However, the current Heather is not mobilizing the power of the sea.

Through her previous observations, the girl had already discovered the dragon's habits. Because of the magma and high temperature that enveloped its body, the dragon had to use seawater and snow to cool down.

If Hazel were to use the power of the ocean to attack, it might cause some damage, but it would mostly give the dragon a spa-like feeling of comfort. Therefore, Hazel did not use any water-related abilities.

However, as a siren, Hazel also possesses another racial talent: her singing voice!

In Onpharos, Heather attempted to influence Lai Gushi with the emptiness of her song, but Lai Gushi, being the administrator, was completely unaffected.

However, this world is different. The world of Akame ga Kill! is not the Emperor's Scepter, and there are no administrators, so the power of nothingness can definitely play a role!

Through the power of the demigod of the ocean, Hazel floated in mid-air and unleashed the "Song of the Siren" with all her might, which contained an unprecedented power of nothingness.

Because of her previous attacks, Krystal had realized that physical methods were not very effective, which is why she had Heather use mental attacks.

"Your body may be strong, but can your spirit be the same as your body?"

Almost the instant the song began, the dragon's expression changed, and its pupils revealed a deep sense of disbelief.

This is a psychological attack!

Sensing something was wrong, the dragon began to struggle frantically, its limbs clawing wildly at the ground, trying to escape the scepter's attack.

But at this last moment, the remaining half of the person who could harm the dragon appeared, and that was Esdeath!

Although the damage caused by the girl was limited, after being strengthened by the power of law, the chilling ice was able to restrict the dragon's movements.

Neck, tail, limbs... anywhere that could exert force would be encircled by Esdeath's solid ice, pressing it to the ground with maximum force.

The remaining Golden Blood members also began to use their own power to help the three, doing their best to limit the dragon's movements.

But the real deciding moment will depend on Hathaway…

Whether the void can devour the dragon depends on how strong the "ocean" is!

Meanwhile, in the capital of the Northern Kingdom.

Najendan and the other nine Golden Bloods looked solemnly at the Imperial army below the city walls.

"Gentlemen, the time has come for us to demonstrate our 'loyalty'!"

PS:

Something happened yesterday, and I wrote this in a bit of a rush. The more I read it today, the less satisfied I am with it.

So later I will revise Chapter 51, and after I finish revising it, I will change the title and add "(revised)" after it.

Kerritt & Heather / Scarlet Eyes: Chapter 53 The Ultimate Taunt

"It's been a long time, Najendan."

"The last time we met was when you had just become a general, wasn't it?"

Just as Cerberus had predicted, while the Golden Blood went to fight the Super Dangerous Species, the Empire sent a general to deal with the Northern Kingdom.

As the newly appointed Goodhearted Lord of the Northern Kingdom, Najendan considered that the person coming over might be a friend she knew, after all, the Empire had many generals.

But to Najenda's utter surprise, the person standing before her was none other than the Empire's Grand General—Bud!

Wasn't he the young emperor's personal guard?

Why did you leave the imperial capital and appear here?

It was precisely because she was once a member of the Empire that Najenda was so wary of the man before her.

Since Esdeath did not join the Empire, the strongest person in the entire Empire right now is General Budo.

I'll beat Bud?

Despite her significant improvement over this period, Najenda still lacked the confidence to defeat her opponent.

However, Bud didn't pay attention to Najendan's nervous expression. Instead, he raised his head and looked at her on the city wall with a very serious expression.

"Najenda, tell me, why did you betray the Empire?"

Compared to fighting the enemy, Bud actually cares more about something else: the reason for Najenda's betrayal.

The reason this young girl was able to become an imperial general at such a young age was not only due to her own talent, but also because of the joint promotion by Minister Ernest and General Bud.

Bud actually had a pretty good impression of this younger woman, after all, in the cesspool that is the Empire, Najenda was one of the very few who could be called a good person.

Even Bud had once considered making the other a Grand General. But those thoughts vanished with Najenda's betrayal…

"..."

All eyes were on Najendan at that moment. Whether it was the soldiers behind Bud or Najendan's colleagues, they all looked at her.

The pressure is immense!

Everyone was waiting for their answer, and Najendan knew that she could not remain silent at this moment, otherwise it would inevitably have serious consequences for her future.

However, lying in such a situation would obviously be recognized by those around him, and the consequences would not only make him a thorn in the side of the empire, but also cause him to break ties with his colleagues.

So Najenda chose another method…

sincere!

"At the beginning, I was forced to join because of defeat... Her Majesty Han Yingjue is indeed powerful. He can wipe out my 300,000-strong army by himself. I didn't even have a chance to commit suicide."

"Then I met Her Majesty the Queen. She gave me absolutely no chance and forcibly granted me special powers, leaving me no way to resist... Ha, when this happened, I even cursed Her Majesty as a little dwarf in my heart!"

Najendan's expression was somewhat self-deprecating, and as she said those words, the "Super Beast Warriors" around her all cast cold glances at her.

How dare a mere surrendered general speak ill of His Majesty in such a setting? Who gave him the audacity?

Moreover, compared to the Northern Kingdom, many people on the Imperial Army's side had their eyes light up. Since Najendan could say such a thing, it meant that there was a possibility that she might return to the Empire.

"But later, I changed my mind."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, which was about to erupt, fell silent instantly. This was not because they wanted to hear more, but because they were all stunned, not expecting Najenda to say such a thing.

"I have walked the streets of the Empire many times, and after surrendering, I have walked the streets of the North many times. It is because of this contrast that I can tell you with certainty, Bud..."

"The people of the North are a hundred times happier than the people of the Empire!"

“In the Empire, what I saw was trafficking, smuggling, corruption, theft, deception... People were dying every day, and people rarely smiled, and even if they did, it was a fake smile.”

"And here, I saw people's genuine smiles."

"Her Majesty Kerudela is ruthless when it comes to killing people. I have witnessed her killing corrupt nobles several times, but her coldness has never been directed at the people of the North. In fact, she has put a lot of effort into making people's lives better!"

"Now I finally understand why Her Majesty the Empress bestowed upon me the title of 'King of Kindness.' She really saw right through me..."

"So this is the first time I've had this thought: I want to fight for the North! Perhaps the North isn't perfect right now, but I believe it can be the hope for its people!"

As Najendan spoke, the gazes of her colleagues around her changed; they hadn't expected that this "King of Kindness" would think that way.

On the Empire's side, the opposite was true. Bud's face had darkened to an extremely frightening degree, as if he were about to explode at any moment.

"Is this your reason for betraying me?"

Bud's voice was full of anger, and thin flashes of lightning appeared beside him, but he still suppressed his temper and stared fiercely at Najendan, like the calm before a storm.

"Perhaps our empire is not perfect, so isn't it our duty as subjects to build it better? And you, who betrayed us, what right do you have?"

Najendan smiled after hearing these words.

Moreover, anyone with eyes could see that Najenda's smile contained unprecedented mockery and contempt.

"Imperial General, Bud."

"You've held the position of Grand General for quite some time now. Has the 'empire' you speak of been built any better under your leadership? It seems not."
