The sparks disappeared.
The two of them stepped back a few steps, staring at each other fiercely, and the air around them seemed to be frozen by the tense momentum.
Esdeath shook her numb wrist, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She had to admit that Akame's changes had exceeded her expectations.
Akaame's strength, speed, and fighting skills had changed dramatically compared to the past.
She even felt a little tired!
"It seems that you have indeed gained incredible power…"
Esdeath licked the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with excitement, as if she had encountered something interesting.
"No comment!"
Akaame snorted coldly, and the scarlet light on the demon sword Murasame in her hand became even brighter.
"You're still a long way from defeating me!"
Esdeath snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand turned into a violent storm attack again, sweeping towards Akado.
Each attack was as fast as lightning and extremely fierce, as if to tear Akado completely apart.
Akado's figure flickered like a ghost, and the Murasame in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, blocking all of Esdeath's attacks.
"Bang!"
Just then.
Esdeath suddenly appeared behind Akado, and kicked Akado's back fiercely with a whip kick.
Akado's reaction was also very fast.
He turned sideways to avoid Esdeath's attack.
He slashed at Esdeath's waist with a backhand knife.
"Dang——!"
Esdeath dodged Akame's attack and blocked Murasame's sharp edge with the long sword in her hand, sparks flying everywhere.
The two were once again in a fierce battle, with figures intertwined and swords flashing, dazzling.
…
At the same time.
During the fight, Akame's red eyes caught a glimpse of the situation of her companions, and her heart sank.
Although Najeshitan, Brand and others were not in danger of their lives.
But everyone had injuries of varying degrees, and it was obvious that they were no longer able to fight.
And, Hill and Leone were frozen into lifelike ice sculptures, with a weak breath of life, and they could die at any time.
Chelsey's situation was unclear.
...
"Boss, Brand, Myne!"
"You have no strength to fight anymore, hurry up and take Hill and Leone away from here!"
"Leave this to me!"
A trace of determination flashed in the scarlet eyes of Akame.
After hearing this, Najeshitan was unwilling, but she also knew that the current situation was critical and it was not the time to show off.
Especially after Hill and Leone turned into ice sculptures.
The vital signs were already weakening rapidly, and they would be frozen to death by the cold soon.
"Brand, Myne, let's go!"
Thinking of this, Najeshitan made a prompt decision and immediately ordered the retreat.Order.
"But BOSS, Akame… "
Main looked at Akame who was fighting fiercely with Esdeath in the distance, her eyes full of worry.
"You have also seen Akame's strength. What she needs now is a space where she can go all out."
"If we stay here, we will only become a burden to her."
Najesita said in a deep voice.
"Main, listen to BOSS, we must leave now!" Brand said while enduring the pain on his body.
He knew that Najesita was right.
In their current state, staying here will only drag down Akame.
"Okay…"
Although Main was unwilling, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed to Najesita's proposal when she saw Akame fighting fiercely with Esdeath.
The few people quickly evacuated the valley with Hill and Leone, who were frozen into ice sculptures, on their backs.
...
"Want to leave?!"
Esdeath naturally noticed the actions of Najeshitan and others, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Do you think you can still escape?"
Esdeath said, and waved her delicate hand gently.
"Crack, crack, crack…"
Within a few miles, a thick layer of ice quickly condensed on the ground, and spread to the surroundings at a very fast speed.
In a blink of an eye, ice walls as high as tens of meters were built, surrounding the entire valley!
"Damn, it's too late!" Najeshitan looked at the indestructible ice wall in front of her, and her heart sank.
Brand and Marin's faces were also full of despair.
Is it really going to die here today?
...
"Boom——!"
Just then.
A deafening roar resounded through the sky, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart.
Esdeath's heart was alarmed, and she looked back suddenly.
I saw that the originally indestructible ice wall had collapsed without any warning!
The broken ice fell like a meteorite, stirring up ice chips all over the sky.
In the center of the collapsed ice wall.
A towering tree stood tall, with lush branches and leaves, as if it was not eroded by the surrounding cold air.
Under the shade of the giant tree.
Gu Bo was sitting there leisurely, with the furry little white cat nestled next to him.
The man and the cat seemed to be out of the matter, watching all this quietly, without any intention of taking action.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu Bo!"
Seeing this, Najeshitan's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.
She naturally saw that the timing of the gap was too coincidental.
But she didn't think much about it.
Now is not the time to explore these things.
The most important thing is to quickly take your companions away from this place of trouble.
"Aka Tong, you must come back alive!"
"Brand, Marin, let's go!"
Najesita made a prompt decision and immediately issued an order to retreat.
Although Brand and Marin had concerns.
They still carried Hill and Leone, who were frozen into ice sculptures, on their backs and ran towards the direction of Gu Bo.
…
Esdeath would naturally not let them go easily.
Just when she was about to chase.
Akatō blocked her way directly.
"Your opponent is me."
Akatō's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.
Esdeath had to stop and stare at Akatō with cold eyes.
"What? Are you worried about your companions? Do you want to use yourself to hold me back?"
"…"
Akatō remained silent, and her scarlet eyes were firmly locked on Esdeath.
Holding Murasame's hand even harder, the joints of her bones glowed white in the moonlight.
As Najeshitan and the others left, their backs gradually shrank in her eyes, and finally disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
Akagi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You seem to care about those guys?
Esdeath sneered, with a hint of playfulness in her tone:
Are you really willing to sacrifice yourself for those guys?
"…"
Akagi did not answer.
…
In the distance, Najeshitan and the others had disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
Gu Bo held his chin with one hand, quietly watching the battle, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
The little white cat curled up comfortably on his legs, with its golden tiger eyes half open and half closed, and seemed to be not interested in the battle.
"White Tiger, who do you think will win this battle?"
Gu Bo asked casually.
"Meow~"
The little white cat called lazily, and its golden tiger eyes glanced at the two people fighting in the distance, and then closed its eyes again, as if it didn't care about this question at all.
"Hehe, that's right. With your eyes, you naturally don't look down on this level of battle."
Gu Bo couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.
However.
This war should really end.
…
"Let's fight quickly, Chi Tong."
When Najeshitan and others disappeared in the depths of the dense forest.
Gu Bo gently stroked the soft fur of the little white cat, his tone calm but revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Akagi trembled slightly when she heard this. She didn't look back, but a light flashed in her scarlet eyes. She held Murasame tighter. "Yes, Master Gubo."
"Yes, Master Gubo."
After speaking.
Akagi's aura suddenly changed.
If the previous Akagi was like a sharp blade.
Then now she is like a peerless sword hidden in a sheath, which is more dangerous when it is restrained.
"Hmm?"
Esdeath keenly noticed the change in Akagi, and the alarm bells in her heartMasterpiece.
Before she could react.
A fierce killing intent, like a flood bursting through a dam, surged out from Akahiko's body.
The originally calm air seemed to be solidified by this killing intent, becoming sticky and heavy, and even breathing became difficult.
…
"Boom!!"
The dark magic power, like rolling ink.
Surged out of Akahiko's body.
