When the Supreme Emperor manifested, his hope was rekindled, and he prayed that the Empire and the Northern Kingdom would fight to the death, so that the rebels could directly reap the rewards of victory.

In the end, with the Supreme Imperial Arms falling and the Northern Kingdom storming the Imperial Palace, the rebels finally lost all their fighting spirit and were completely subdued.

"Now that we've witnessed the arrival of the Northern Kingdom, continuing our sneak attack is definitely not a wise move... Shall we surrender?"

"No, we've carried out assassinations against Crydella, that little dwarf won't let us get away with this!"

"Then what should we do?"

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. We'll flee south, and one day we'll launch a counterattack!"

They had expected to be greeted by a vibrant and thriving scene, but reality delivered a harsh blow to them.

The rebels were simply incapable of fighting the North; if they charged in head-on, they would only be slaughtered without a single survivor!

"That's why we need to flee, gather strength, and launch a counterattack... Pass on my order: have all members of the resistance move south!"

We've failed. It's time to leave this continent…

Despite the reluctance in his voice, the rebel leader had run out of ideas; this was the only solution to the current situation.

But an unexpected event occurred at that very moment.

"It's terrible! The enemy has attacked, and our entire army has been wiped out!"

A figure rushed in from outside the door. The rebel leader frowned but didn't say anything. After all, they were already preparing to escape, and now the enemy was attacking them.

"Who is it? Remnants of the Imperial Army? Or the Northern Kingdom's army?"

At this time, only the Empire and the Northern Kingdom would have the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the resistance; other forces simply wouldn't dare.

However, the subordinate's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Not an empire, nor a northern kingdom..."

"It's a super-sized, dangerous species! None of us are a match for it! We're about to die!"

Kerritsu & Heather / Akame ga Kill! Chapter 84: Esdeath the Abyss of Ice

The war with the Empire had ended. The Northern army had crushed the Empire with overwhelming force. The resistance forces hadn't even had a chance to join the battle before they saw the end of the war and dared not come to their aid.

Krystal leaped off the head of the Arabi and landed directly on the heart of the Supreme Imperial Arm.

"They've avoided vital spots and even inflicted a penetrating wound specifically designed for living creatures... This should be over by now, right?"

In Krystal's perception, the life force within the Supreme Imperial Arm was rapidly dissipating, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

That means the young emperor's life was at stake. The attack just now didn't cause much damage to the Supreme Imperial Arms; instead, it all poured into the young emperor's body.

As an ordinary and young human, the young emperor, despite his supreme status, lacked the corresponding physical strength and would certainly not be able to survive.

So Krystal gave him a quick death, letting the young emperor meet his end in a daze...

"And now, it's time to collect the spoils!"

The Empire's supreme Imperial Arms, even after a thousand years, still looks brand new. It's unknown how it was preserved, or if it possesses a self-cleaning ability.

In any case, with the death of the young emperor, the bloodline of the First Emperor was completely extinguished, and no one else could use the Supreme Imperial Arms in the future…

Except for Kelderla!

The power of the law is a bug. Krishna has already used the ability of "equivalent exchange" to obtain many useful things, and the limitations of the Supreme Imperial Arms can naturally be solved by the power of the law.

Then, when the time comes, we can entrust this Imperial Arm to someone worthy of our trust, and the Northern Kingdom will flourish!

Krystalla simply opened the cockpit of the Supreme Imperial Arm and began to deal with this deadly weapon.

As for the other side, she wasn't worried at all. After all, her other body, Hazel and Ice Shadow Lord Esdeath, were not to be trifled with, and there was no one in the world who could deal with them.

Krydella was at ease letting them handle the rest.

—

And just as Krydella had predicted, Hathaway quickly took over the entire capital with her men, and the city's garrison surrendered without any resistance.

After all, such a powerful Supreme Imperial Arms has already fallen to the ground, how could these soldiers possibly defeat them?

That's all the money you make in a month, why risk your life?

The empire is gone. I have an 8-year-old mother and an 80-year-old child. I can't possibly die with the empire, can I? Then who will support my family? Cao Cao?

How could I dare to die!

It was precisely because his soldiers all shared this attitude that the transfer of power within the empire proceeded smoothly, and no one dared to stand up and oppose it at this critical juncture.

Meanwhile, things are also going very smoothly for Esdeath.

All the garrison troops have left, which means that the capital city is now a treasure chest full of wealth. As long as the chest can be opened, everything inside will belong to the Northern Kingdom.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is the treasure vault? But why..."

Looking at the magnificent gate ahead, Esdeath placed her right hand on her heart.

Feeling her heart pounding faster, Esdeath realized that something inside her was calling to her.

"I'm already a Golden Descendant, several times stronger than those Imperial Arms users. How could any Imperial Arms possibly attract me?"

During this time, Esdeath has seen quite a few Teigu users and Teigu.

If you were to ask her what her most powerful Imperial Arm is, she would definitely answer the Supreme Imperial Arm. After all, that thing is so enormous that it requires Her Majesty the Empress to personally deal with it; it is absolutely the most powerful Imperial Arm, without a doubt!

But if you were to ask Esdeath what her second strongest Imperial Arm is, she would probably have to think for a while before finally having to answer helplessly, "I don't know."

Because in Esdeath's view, apart from the Supreme Imperial Arms, the others seemed to be no different.

Although they all possess some special powers, as long as Esdeath takes it seriously, there is absolutely no way any Teigu user can be her match. Therefore, Esdeath feels that Teigu are nothing to worry about; they are too weak!

Now, a peculiar fragrance seemed to waft from behind the door, directly stimulating Esdeath's nose and leaving her standing there stunned for a long time.

Esdeath didn't know how to describe the scent, but one thing she understood...

It is calling out to itself!

What exactly is it?

Esdeath easily pushed open the treasury door containing the Imperial Arms, then her gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a sake bottle…

"Is that you calling me?"

"It looks like a bottle of sake, but it's actually an Imperial Arm?"

Esdeath had a thoughtful expression on her face. She didn't understand what was going on at all, and there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to ask someone.

After all, the person who knew about the Imperial Arms in this treasure vault was already dead, namely Minister Ernest, whom he had just killed. How could that person possibly reveal the information?

"I should have kept them alive first. Did I kill them too quickly after all?"

Esdeath was somewhat troubled, but there was nothing she could do. She simply walked slowly to the side of the Imperial Arm and reached out her hand to it.

The blue-haired girl noticed that whenever she focused her gaze on this Imperial Arm, it seemed to attract her more and more, as if it were... something she was missing?

"What should I do? Should I drink it or not?"

Although Esdeath was the first to enter the treasure vault, her identity as the Shadow Lady of the North was obligated to hand these items over to Her Majesty the Empress, but instinct urged her to act immediately…

Reason and instinct intertwined at this moment, leaving Esdeath in a particularly agonizing dilemma, unable to make a decision at all.

Esdeath was jolted awake from her reverie when a dark figure appeared behind her and a familiar voice echoed in her ears.

"What's wrong, Blue Fish?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Hathaway, I was lost in thought..."

Unable to make a decision, Esdeath told Heather everything that had just happened, which immediately caught Heather's attention.

Even as a member of the Golden Clan, how could Esdeath still be drawn to the "Demon's Essence"? It seems this truly is her destiny!

"I just contacted Caesar. If a suitable Imperial Arm is found in the treasure vault, it can be used at any time. Since we will be facing another enemy, the rebels, next, increasing our combat strength is naturally the best thing."

"I understand!"

Now that she had Lord Caesar's permission, Esdeath had no more worries. She opened the wine cup and drank everything inside...

"Ugh...cough cough!"

In an instant, the wine glass fell to the ground, and Esdeath's face showed a pained expression, her movements even more exaggerated than in the original work.

She could feel two forces fighting inside her body, and it was this struggle that caused Esdeath intense pain.

And so, to Heather's astonishment, Esdeath's body changed once again.

Two sharp blue objects protruded from the top of the girl's head, looking like horns... If a girl who resembles Xi Lian saw this, her eyes would definitely light up.

Behind the girl, a long tail grew out, completely transforming her into a half-dragon and causing her to lose her human form!

Esdeath, here comes a new form…

Perhaps it is because the raw material of this Imperial Arm is dragon seed that Esdeath's transformation direction is the direction of the dragon.

The abyss dragon lurking in the ice.

Esdeath the Abyss!

PS:

Um, isn't Tenghuang coming out soon?

I'll make one too, hopefully it'll stay true to my chosen weapon...

I couldn't find a suitable image, so I'll have to make do with this one.

Kerritt & Hazel: Scarlet Eyes: Chapter 85 Dragon Attack!

"Such a strong will...cough cough, but it's useless against me!"

Although she was forced to kneel on the ground due to inexplicable pain, Esdeath's expression showed no sign of admitting defeat; on the contrary, she became increasingly arrogant.

It seems that because this Imperial Arms is made of dragon blood, the savagery it contains is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine, yet Esdeath is able to easily suppress it, just like in the original work.

"I never imagined that such a treasure was hidden within the empire. What a waste!"

Feeling the power surging within her body, Esdeath clenched her fists tightly, her bones creaking. Even the soldiers guarding the door couldn't help but shrink back.

Esdeath, however, seemed oblivious to all of this, recklessly unleashing her presence, causing many items in the room to tremble as if they would be shattered by her terrifying aura at any moment.

"Okay, that's all for now."

It was that familiar voice again. Heather placed her hand on Esdeath's shoulder, immediately suppressing all the aura that the other woman was releasing.

This sudden turn of events left Esdeath somewhat dumbfounded, even though she knew that Sword Banner Lord was incredibly powerful and possessed the same demigod status as Her Majesty the Empress.

But isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

The moment Esdeath drank that Imperial Arm, she understood its true nature: it was a dragon from some kind of extremely cold region!

It was this power within her bloodline that caused parts of Esdeath's body to grow that were not human...

The dragon horns on her head, the dragon tail on her back, and the dragon scales faintly visible at the corners of her eyes—everything about Esdeath reveals that she is no longer purely human, no longer a pure Golden Blood…

Rather, it is a special existence that combines multiple bloodlines!

Even so, the oppressive aura emanating from Heather still made her tremble instinctively... Is this the world of the strong?

Every time Esdeath reaches a new level, she finds herself drifting further and further away from Heather and Crydella. She doesn't know if it's just her imagination, but Esdeath always feels as if they're about to leave.

"I never expected that Blue Fish would transform into this form after absorbing this Imperial Arm. It's truly an eye-opener for me!"

Looks like I'll have to call you Blue Dragonfish from now on~

"Stop teasing me, Lady Hathaway."

Looking at Esdeath in her dragon-like form, Hazel rested her chin on her hand with a hint of teasing, admiring the girl's current posture.

The blood of the Golden Blood, the blood of the Siren, and the blood of the Dragon merged perfectly at this moment, bringing about Esdeath's transformation.

Heather looked at the blue beauty in front of her with satisfaction. After so much training and with the help of the Imperial Arms, she had finally achieved results.

After I leave the world of Kill!, Esdeath will inherit Crydella's Northern Kingdom and then carry it forward, right?

There definitely won't be any problems in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time... then there will be even fewer problems!

Anyway, Krystal and Hathaway could never see that scene, so what does it have to do with her?
