Esdeath was surrounded by visible chill.
The biting chill filled the air like a substance.
Ice crystals condensed on the branches, reflecting a cold light.
The dense forest that was originally full of vitality suddenly became like a frozen world of ice and snow, filled with the breath of death.
Najesita and others looked at Esdeath vigilantly.
Everyone's face was full of solemnity, and they held their weapons tighter, and their knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.
"What a despairing power…"
Brand gritted his teeth and whispered.
Even though he had experienced many battles, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness when facing Esdeath.
Esdeath was too strong!
So strong that it was suffocating!
That kind of bottomless terrifying power was like an endless ice field.
And they are just a few ants that strayed into it, and they could be frozen and crushed at any time.
…
"Don't give up hope, Brand."
Najesita said in a deep voice:
"Even if we know we can't win, we have to fight to the death!"
As the ace assassination force of the Revolutionary Army.
Their mission is to eradicate the corruption of the empire and bring hope to the people.
So, even if they know they will die in battle, they will never retreat a single step!
"That's right, Boss!"
Leone's golden eyes burned with a blazing fighting spirit:
"Even if we die, we will leave a few scars on the enemy!"
…
"Haha, you are so arrogant!"
Esdeath sneered when she heard this.
She flashed.
As fast as a ghost.
Before everyone could even see her movements clearly.
They felt a sharp chill coming towards them.
"Not good!"
Brand's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly swung the spear in his hand and swept away.
"Dang–!"
The crisp sound of metal collision resounded through the valley.
Brand only felt a tidal wave of power coming, and the spear in his hand instantly flew out of his hand.
The body flew backwards uncontrollably and hit a thick tree trunk heavily.
"Brand!"
Seeing this, Leona's golden pupils flashed with anxiety.
She was about to step forward to help.
But she was kicked away by Esdeath.
…
The next second.
"Bang!"
Leone fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing out of his mouth.
Esdeath turned into a shadow again and rushed towards the others.
"Too slow! Too weak!"
Esdeath's tone was cold, like ice that had not melted for thousands of years.
She waved her delicate hand gently.
The ice crystals in her palm instantly turned into countless sharp ice blades, sweeping towards the few people like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.
Esdeath's attack was extremely ruthless, and every move was fatal.
She had already made up her mind to leave all the remnants of the night attack here!
…
"Everyone, disperse!"
Seeing this, Najeshitan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she hurriedly reminded loudly.
As a former general of the empire.
Najshitan once went to the southwest border with Esdeath.
Naturally, she knew Esdeath's strength very well.
She also understood that the gap between them was as difficult to overcome as a natural moat.
Facing a strong man of Esdeath's level, a head-on confrontation would undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a stone.
Only by dispersing as much as possible and taking advantage of the terrain can there be a glimmer of hope!
…
Najshitan's reminder was undoubtedly correct.
Any direct resistance would be a futile struggle.
Only a few people used their unique imperial weapon abilities.
Spread out, use the complex terrain of the mountains and forests to maneuver, and consume the opponent's strength as much as possible.
This is the only way to find a ray of hope.
Brand was the first to bear the brunt.
He held a spear, and his body was as agile as a cheetah, trying to attract Esdeath's attention.
Leone used the ability of the imperial weapon "King of Beasts·Lion King" to launch a fierce attack on Esdeath.
Main and Hill cooperated with each other.
One was responsible for long-range sniping, and the other was responsible for close cover, delaying Esdeath's pace as much as possible.
And, Chelsea, using the special ability of "Transformation Free·Gaia Foundation", quietly hid in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move, trying to find an opportunity to kill with one blow.
...
But.
The actions of several people seemed particularly useless to Esdeath.
The figures of the Night Raid members fleeing in all directions were reflected in Esdeath's ice-blue eyes, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
As the strongest general in the empire.
Esdeath had long seen through the intentions of the Night Raid and others, and there was always a playful smile on her face, as if she was enjoying this cat-and-mouse game.
"Binglan!"
With a light shout from Esdeath, she raised her delicate jade hand, and the cold air in her palm surged, instantly condensing into dozens of sharp ice cones around her.
The ice cones instantly turned into streams of light, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, they attacked the Night Raid members.
Brand endured the severe pain in his shoulder, and the spear in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, barely smashing several ice cones.
Unfortunately, more ice cones were chasing after them like maggots on the tarsal bones.
They were coming in a flash.
…
"Damn it!"
Brand cursed inwardly, quickly let go of the spear in his hand, retreated violently, and narrowly avoided Esdeath's attack.
Others were not so lucky.
In the face of this cold air.
Leone and Hill's movements became extremely slow, as if they were stuck in a quagmire and could not extricate themselves..
"Oops!"
In the blink of an eye.
The surface of Leone and Hill's bodies was quickly covered with a thick layer of ice crystals, and finally turned into a lifelike ice sculpture, frozen in place.
"Hill! Leone!"
Main exclaimed when she saw this.
She immediately pulled the trigger.
The "Romantic Turret Pumpkin" in her hand emitted a dazzling light and blasted towards Esdeath.
However.
Esdeath's reaction was amazingly fast.
She just waved her hand lightly, and condensed a huge ice wall in front of her, which blocked all of Main's attacks.
"A trifle!"
"Your imperial weapon."
"I know it all."
Esdeath said in a cold tone.
"Really?"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
A petite figure suddenly appeared behind Esdeath.
…
It was Chelsea!
She had lurked behind Esdeath without knowing when, and the dagger in her hand flashed with a cold light, going straight for Esdeath's vitals.
Chelsea's speed was as fast as lightning, and the dagger pierced into Esdeath's body without hesitation.
"Success?!"
Seeing this scene, a glimmer of hope rekindled in the eyes of several people.
It's a pity.
This glimmer of hope was like a flash in the pan, and it was quickly extinguished.
...
"Hehe, little girl, are you tickling me?"
Esdeath turned around and looked at Chelsea, still with a sneer on her face.
She reached out and pulled out the dagger stuck in her body, and there was not a trace of blood on the blade.
"How is this possible?!"
Chelsea's pupils suddenly contracted, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
Her dagger was coated with a deadly poison!
Even an elephant would die instantly if it was scratched a little!
But why did Esdeath…
"Hehe, I forgot to tell you that my physique is quite special, and ordinary toxins are ineffective against me."
Esdeath said with a sneer.
As if he was mocking Chelsea's naivety.
"Damn it!"
Chelsea gritted her teeth and took a few steps back unwillingly.
She knew that she had no chance.
"It's over, little mouse!"
"Remember not to be a killer in your next life."
…
"Boom!"
Just when Esdeath was about to kill Chelsea.
A deafening roar, like thunder from the plain, exploded in the valley.
The terrifying fluctuation of magic power shook the entire valley.
The towering trees collapsed.
The hard rocks turned into powder.
Even the originally calm airflow became violent, like countless invisible sharp blades, ravaging everything around.
"What?!"
Esdeath's heart was alarmed.
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in her heart.
She subconsciously turned the ice blade in her hand into a huge ice shield in front of her, trying to resist this sudden attack.
"Boom!"
The next moment.
A loud bang.
