"Your strength... is only at this level?"
Esdeath's white crystalline military uniform fluttered in the wind. "This is... disappointing."
"What did you say?"
"How dare you look down on me?"
Under Beast King's angry gaze, a blade of ice appeared in Esdeath's hand, pointing at him.
"No, I'm just stating a fact."
"This fight will be over soon."
As her voice fell, a white streak like a meteor fell with the ice blade.
Hum!
A vast, grand slash, like a blizzard that destroys everything, instantly flooded the entire passage.
Wherever it passed,
It was like a true natural disaster, completely destroying everything.
Facing this slash, Beast King's expression was filled with terror and shock. Even if he tried to dodge, he couldn't escape the slash's range.
A bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped his body, freezing him solid.
The next moment,
The surging slash split the ground in two, tearing a hundreds-of-meters-long gash in the earth. Countless buildings were cleaved in two.
The entire House of Evolution began to shake violently.
Countless ice shards, carrying cold air, rose.
Before long, when everything dissipated.
Everything directly in front of them was split apart. It was as if the entire House of Evolution had been severed.
They could even see the sky outside.
"Th-this... is Esdeath-senpai's strength."
"S-Class, genuine S-Class. Probably most S-Class heroes are no match for her."
Lily and Fubuki were completely stunned.
Moreover, judging by everyone's attitude, they realized that Esdeath wasn't even the strongest among the servants.
'If that was the case, how strong was Master?'
They instinctively looked at Ayato, light flickering in their eyes. Deep within their gazes, one could vaguely see admiration and affection.
'Probably,'
'Even that mysterious S-Class rank 1 wasn't a match for Master.'
Unconsciously,
Fubuki clenched her fist.
With the power Master had given her, she believed she would definitely surpass her sister.
…
Monitoring room.
The room was completely silent.
Both Dr. Genus and Armored Gorilla beside him were utterly dumbfounded.
Looking at Beast King's corpse on the ground, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"D-doctor... what if we let that monster out?" Armored Gorilla said, his voice trembling.
The corner of Genus's mouth twitched. "Th-there's no other choice."
Although that guy had a risk of losing control...
They had no other option now.
'Damn it!'
'Where had this monstrous woman come from?'
'There was no record of her in the database at all.'
Ten-plus minutes later,
Ayato and the others encountered no further significant resistance.
"Say, Master, your target hasn't run away, has he?"
Looking at the empty research rooms, Fubuki said softly.
"No."
Ayato's eyes flickered. "In fact, they're still waiting for us."
"Hmm?"
Fubuki was stunned.
'The owner of the House of Evolution was this brave?'
'After witnessing Esdeath-senpai's strength, he wasn't afraid, and even wanted to actively fight?'
"Finally here."
Esdeath's eyes lit up. She strode on her long legs towards a large door.
"Let's go."
Ayato and the others moved.
Creak…
The door was pushed open.
Before them was a vast, empty, pure white combat testing ground.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Heavy footsteps echoed in the air.
An incredibly ferocious and malevolent aura washed over them.
"There's... something here?"
Fubuki and Lily's bodies stiffened. Their gazes began to tremble.
Terrifying!
Great terror!
The oppressive force washing over them was like a tide.
Compared to it, Beast King was nothing.
'What was the Hero Association doing? Having a monster like this in this research institute, and they didn't even know?'
"Because of you, I was let out?"
A deep voice sounded. A monster, completely red, resembling a rhinoceros beetle, appeared before them.
"If that's the case..."
"To thank you, I'll let you die quickly."
Carnage Kabuto's eyes were filled with ferocity and brutality.
It was very excited now.
Kill, kill, kill!
It wanted to kill everyone.
It didn't even plan to spare that damn Dr. Genus.
But before that,
It would play with this group.
After dealing with them...
Killing Dr. Genus when he was happiest would be very interesting.
Thinking this,
A cruel smile touched its lips.
