Chapter 205

"Your words have no flaws for the time being. After doing one thing with me, you will be a soldier of the Empire.

However! If I discover you have ulterior motives, I will deal with you personally."

A chill radiated from Esdeath's body.

"Oh."

Su Xiao answered very blandly, as if he had long been accustomed to life and death.

At this moment, Su Xiao sighed inwardly. So acting cool was this tiring, but this was the fastest way to join the Empire.

Moreover, Su Xiao also discovered one thing: some female characters in the anime were a bit different from what he had understood before. Just like Esdeath in front of him, she was completely a warlike, S-type female lunatic, and her ferocity was not a bit lower than Su Xiao's. Wanting to make such a woman obedient was purely a dream.

He might be able to kill Esdeath, but wanting to make the other party his subordinate was simply not very possible.

Once he joined the Imperial faction, meeting female characters like Akame or Leone from Night Raid would basically be a life-or-death situation; this was a difference in faction and stance.

Wanting to pick up girls in the Akame ga Kill world was living in a dream. Esdeath, Akame, and other beauties were all generals or assassins trained by the state machine. They all had their own beliefs, and wanting to change such beliefs was simply wishful thinking.

Creak, creak, Su Xiao and Esdeath walked one after the other in the snow.

"Aren't you curious about where we are going?"

Esdeath turned her head to look at Su Xiao.

"Not curious."

If others had pretended to be from the dark department, they might have been seen through by Esdeath, but Su Xiao, who was covered in the smell of blood, fit the temperament of the dark department very well.

"Good quality. Which country's assassination unit were you trained by?"

Su Xiao didn't make a sound, but Esdeath, who was walking in front, was full of smiles on her face.

"If you refuse to say this, then my previous words are void; you cannot join the Empire."

Esdeath's beautiful eyes flashed.

"Is that so? Then forget it."

Su Xiao's footsteps stopped, and he turned to walk in the opposite direction.

"Just joking, no need to be so serious."

Esdeath stood where she was, but Su Xiao's footsteps did not stop.

In fact, the nature of the assassination unit was similar to that of spies in the real world. As a dark department member, one could say anything, but this was the only thing one could not. This was an iron rule from ancient times to the present, and Su Xiao, who had been drifting in the underground world, understood this point.

"Still the same as before: help me do one thing, and after that, you will be a member of the Empire's dark department, my direct subordinate."

This time, Su Xiao's footsteps stopped.

"That's fine."

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Probing was everywhere; he had to be careful from now on.

The two walked in the sky-filling wind and snow. The cold wind was bone-piercing, but Esdeath's expression was as usual; it seemed her Imperial Arm could ignore the cold climate.

Su Xiao followed silently behind. Unless Esdeath asked a question, he would not take the initiative to speak. Too many words lead to mistakes, and it would be troublesome if he were caught in a flaw. Esdeath was not a reasonable person; although she looked harmonious now, once a flaw was caught, it would be life or death.

"Don't you want to know our destination?"

Esdeath took the initiative to speak. This casual chat was hidden with murderous intent.

"I don't, but it would be best if we could reach the destination within three hours, otherwise the cold climate will cause my combat power to decline."

Thoughts raced through Su Xiao's mind; Esdeath might be taking him to a very dangerous place.

"It won't take that long; we can arrive in at most half an hour. I lived in the Jibei when I was young. There is a super danger beast here called 'Fenrir'. The giant wolves that attacked before were all its descendants. If I'm not mistaken, the Jibei Army has already reached a consensus with that danger beast, and now we are going to get rid of it."

After listening to Esdeath's words, Su Xiao's mood was somewhat heavy.

The strength of danger beasts in the Akame ga Kill world was not weak, and super danger beasts were the best among them. Some super danger beasts even had strength exceeding Esdeath's, and they were born with the ability to use the elements of nature.

Super danger beasts were somewhat similar to magical beasts; their bodies were powerful, and most of their abilities were manipulating the elements of the natural world. Some could breathe fire, some could manipulate ice, and some had such tenacious vitality that even if they were killed, their muscles could survive for hundreds of years.

The reason Imperial Arms had supernatural abilities was precisely because of these super danger beasts.

This trip was dangerous, but the gains were also high. Given Esdeath's personality, there were only two possibilities for her to let Su Xiao go along.

One was that the super danger beast called 'Fenrir' was too strong, and Esdeath was no match for it alone.

The second was that Esdeath was probing Su Xiao, both probing his identity and probing what his purpose was.

Su Xiao suspected both were true, which made his mood somewhat heavy. If even Esdeath couldn't fight the monster alone, then he might not be a match either.

"We're here."

After walking in the snow for half an hour, the two arrived before a cave. This cave was at least ten-plus meters high, the inside of the cave was pitch black, and the cold wind blowing into the cave made a wailing sound.

"Can you sense the situation inside?"

Esdeath drew the thin sword at her waist, looking straight into the cave with a solemn expression.

"There should be a creature, but I can't be sure."

Su Xiao sensed the situation in the cave. The creature inside the cave was somewhat strange; he could sense it sometimes, and sometimes he couldn't.

"Can you only sense this much?"

"Four meters high, body length of about seven meters, vital signs are not obvious, it is very likely sleeping. If I were to deal with that creature alone, I would have about forty percent certainty."

Although Su Xiao said so, if Esdeath really let him deal with it alone, he would leave immediately. Esdeath was probing him, and he was also probing Esdeath.

Even if he couldn't join the Imperial faction, he could still consider joining Night Raid; at most, the progress of completing the mission would be slower.

"Vital signs are not obvious? Then it shouldn't be wrong. Cover me when we fight in a moment."

Esdeath walked into the cave entrance first, and Su Xiao followed.

The situation was progressing more smoothly than imagined. Esdeath didn't use him as a gun, so he had to show some sincerity; after all, no one was stupid.

"Wait."

Su Xiao called out to Esdeath, and Esdeath turned her head in confusion.

"If my perception is correct, that creature is sleeping. Your approach is too direct. Given the strength of that creature, I suggest a sneak attack."

"A sneak attack?"

"Yes, I will sneak in first, and come to support me immediately after the battle starts."

Esdeath pondered for a while.

"Are you sure?"

"I am."

Su Xiao's straightforward answer made Esdeath no longer hesitate.

"As long as a sound comes from the cave, I can support you in at most five seconds."

Su Xiao took a deep breath. Now was the time to hand in his 'letter of intent'. No matter how many flowery words, it was not as easy to gain trust as doing one thing.

Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand, Su Xiao's breathing gradually slowed down, and even his heartbeat began to slow.

The aura he was emitting was completely retracted, and Su Xiao walked slowly into the cave entrance, his feet making not a sound as they stepped on the snow.

After witnessing this scene, Esdeath's eyes lit up. This was definitely a top-tier assassin, and she believed a bit more in Su Xiao's background.

Sneaking dozens of meters into the cave, a large open space appeared in front. A giant wolf with snow-white fur all over its body was curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly in the open space.

Although this giant wolf was sleeping soundly, it gave Su Xiao a very dangerous feeling, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Retracting his aura to the limit, Su Xiao walked silently to the front of the giant wolf. This giant wolf was the super danger beast named 'Fenrir'.

Checking Zhan Long Shan was held high, the blade flashed with a cold light, the muscles in Su Xiao's arms tightened, and he slashed down with all his might.

Puchi.

Blood splattered, and a wolf ear the size of a palm was slashed off.

Awoo~.

Just like a puppy suddenly kicked, Fenrir screamed and jumped up.

The giant wolf Fenrir had already woken up, its beast eyes staring at Su Xiao, a threatening low growl coming from its throat, and that pair of wolf eyes actually revealed a look of confusion and anger.

Fenrir woke up the moment Checking Zhan Long Shan slashed down; this super danger beast was not easy to deal with.

The giant wolf Fenrir was four meters tall and about seven meters long, its fur was like snow, and its sharp claws reflected a metallic luster.

Su Xiao's slash was on the side of Fenrir's head; his target was originally to behead it, but the speed of this giant wolf was chilling.

Rapid running sounds came from behind; it was Esdeath who had arrived.
