Chapter 278: The tragedy of the World Government! Flame is about to die in battle!

Crack!

Crack! Crack!!

Although there was no sound of ice crystals freezing, everyone couldn't help but imagine this similar sound in their minds, as if invisible frost was condensing and spreading on the battlefield.

"You—"

Mo Ansi's pupils shrank, and even the words he opened his mouth to speak stiffened in his throat.

Although he had been prepared, when Esdeath's power really appeared on the battlefield, the sudden cold current and the irresistible coldness in the chill made it impossible for anyone to resist.

Frozen instantly!

Not just the sound, expression, body...

The blood surging in the body, the pungent smoke on the battlefield...

Even his thoughts were stretched to an extremely thin point in this instant, as if time had been forcibly stretched.

'Fortunately!'

'My body is wrapped in smoke, layers of smoke and mist; it's not easy to find my true body!'

Mo Ansi felt certain in his heart.

While time stood still and all things were static, the unexpected stretching of his thoughts gave him the leisure to rejoice.

Rejoicing that he had been prepared, wary of Locke's strange blow, he had directly hidden his true body in layers of smoke. Although it wasn't foolproof or impossible to break, it was definitely not easy to hit his true body in a short time!

To say that Emperor-level is Emperor-level!

These top powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the sea, one and all, were all battle-hardened, having fought countless bloody battles; their combat experience and wisdom were top-tier. As long as they had seen the same move once and it had aroused vigilance in their hearts, not to mention solving it instantly, at least they could think of corresponding countermeasures.

One trick to rule them all?

Unless it's someone like Garp, with no flaws and absolute physical strength, it's almost impossible.

Just survive his strange power of freezing time and space.

Although this power is incomparably powerful, its short duration is its biggest shortcoming. Finding a way to delay time and hold on is the simplest and most effective method they can think of.

'Fierce beast? Star of Extreme Evil? The next Rocks?'

'Arrogant and rampant, with me here, let's see how you can continue to plunder and rob!!'

Mo Ansi stared wide-eyed.

The angry appearance was very much like a short-tempered little old man.

——

"Two seconds!"

Esdeath's cold voice sounded.

Still firm,

Resonant!

The same imprisonment time, the same effect as on Snow, the same freezing effect.

But now?

Several women glanced at Locke in front of them.

Waiting for him to give orders.

"Run!"

The concise words fell, just one character, and he instantly withdrew.

Locke, who had been in close combat with Mo Ansi, twisted his waist, driving his whole body to retreat, stepping heavily on the air. With extremely fast speed, he stepped the invisible air into a solid block, and using the reaction force, he soared into the sky.

Turning his gun around, he ran backward.

"Run, ran away?"

"Huh? Not fighting?"

"Hmph! It's really cheap for this stinky smoke monster!"

"..."

Surprised voices echoed in their ears, but the movements of the women didn't delay at all.

Locke had just spoken.

Even if there was confusion and suspicion in their hearts, their bodies instinctively and honestly followed Locke's voice.

Stepping on the flames on their tails, they turned into firelight and soared into the sky.

Flashing on the spot, holding the demon sword in their hands, they disappeared into the dust.

Picking up the Three Imperial Gods and wrapping them in their arms, the power of the Yasakani no Magatama drove them to move and shuttle at ultra-high speed.

Various means erupted.

The beautiful harem group around Locke all showed their magical powers, using their own travel stunts, and after a few leaps, they flew very far away.

If they really waited for two seconds to pass, they would probably have run away to nowhere.

Although they were conflicted, hesitant, and suspicious, out of trust in Locke, they didn't delay the business at all.

But...

"Why run away?"

Lei Ounai scratched her claws unhappily.

"Your Highness?"

Najenda was much more subtle, but the eyes under her beret carried a bit of doubt.

Akame and Yoru were both low-key, obediently immersed in the journey. If it weren't for seeing them pricking up their ears to listen, one would think they were not interested in this at all!

"Could it be..."

The cold Esdeath, looking at the distant sky, had a thoughtful look in her cold eyes.

"Ahem."

"How can this be called running away? This is a strategic retreat!"

"That's right! This is a strategy!"

Locke stiffened his neck to explain for himself, trying to save a little face.

Then.

He raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and his tone suddenly sank.

"Time..."

"Is almost up, right?"

Not any other time, but the end time of this battle, or this feast.

——It's almost up!

Sky!

The originally azure sky was dyed deep red by the firelight, like fire clouds. The entire sky was reflected by infinite firelight, completely changing its inherent color. It is hard to imagine that this great power to replace the celestial phenomena was only the aftermath of a certain powerhouse's strike, not even counting as a power offensive.

But!

Compared to that!

What was even more frightening and impossible to look away from was the black light shuttling through the fire-cloud sky.

Pure black!

Overbearing, filled with arrogant momentum.

Unparalleled.

The arrogance that no one could make him bow his head, the overbearingness that treated everything as a means to be driven!
