"As expected, there's an excellent prey here."
Esdeath stared intently at Carnage Kabuto, her eyes growing brighter, a look of excitement on her face.
"Woman, how dare you look at me with those eyes?"
Carnage Kabuto's expression darkened.
This woman was treating it like prey. Utterly foolish.
"Enough talk. Fight."
A faint ice mist swirled around Esdeath.
"You're dead."
The next moment,
Esdeath and Carnage Kabuto moved simultaneously.
Under everyone's watch, a red and a white streak collided.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening roars echoed continuously. Esdeath, wielding an ice saber, slashed out freezing slashes.
As she moved, countless ice shards shot forth with every gesture.
In the blink of an eye,
Carnage Kabuto was being pushed back step by step.
If it was just pure strength,
It wasn't much weaker than Esdeath.
But beyond that, whether it was the diversity of abilities or combat skills and experience, it was far inferior.
"Your dangerous aura doesn't match your strength."
"If this is it, I'm disappointed."
A cold glint appeared in Esdeath's eyes. She flicked her wrist, pulling out a frost-like blade.
Squelch!
Blood sprayed.
Carnage Kabuto howled. Half its body instantly froze. It shot backward like a cannonball, hitting the far wall.
Thud.
It slid down like a painting.
"Your power..."
Carnage Kabuto pounded the ground with one fist, its face full of disbelief.
It hadn't expected to suffer such a loss at Esdeath's hands.
"If that's the case, you asked for it."
A cruel, savage smile appeared on its face.
"I'll show you my strongest power..."
"I will destroy everything here."
As its voice fell, an incredibly ferocious aura swept through the area like a hurricane. The surrounding ground began to shake.
Crack! Crack!
The bloody ice on its body instantly shattered.
Its body swelled slightly.
Strange patterns spread all over its body.
Then,
The entire combat ground began to flash red.
Ear-piercing alarms blared.
…
Monitoring room.
"This is bad..."
Cold sweat formed on Genus's forehead. "It's entered Carnage Mode."
There was an indescribable fear in his voice.
Because in this mode,
Carnage Kabuto's strength would multiply.
The price was losing its sanity, becoming a monster that only knew killing and destruction.
It would rampage for at least a week.
If that happens, the entire House of Evolution would be doomed.
…
Not far away,
Ayato's eyes flickered.
He had to say, Carnage Kabuto in this state was indeed quite strong.
Athena sighed. "So this is the product of science? This strength... this servant is indeed a bit surprised."
Grayfia agreed. "If this isn't the world's strongest combat power, then as Ayato said, there is indeed power here that could threaten us."
Gabriel said weakly, "Should we intervene? Esdeath might not be a match."
"No need."
Ayato shook his head. "Esdeath isn't that weak. She's not without a chance."
Boom!
As they spoke, the ground beneath Carnage Kabuto's feet instantly shattered. It shot forward like lightning. Its massive fist distorted the air.
"Bring it on!"
Esdeath laughed wildly. Her long hair danced. Countless ice shards shot forth like a storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Huge explosions sounded one after another.
Countless ice shards, like cannonballs, struck Carnage Kabuto.
But,
They only left minor scratches.
Seeing this, Esdeath frowned.
Seeing the fist close, she stepped on the ground, dodging while swinging her sword in a horizontal slash.
Crack!
Ice crystals scattered.
Carnage Kabuto's elbow strike shattered the ice blade.
Esdeath's figure shot into the air, looking at the broken ice blade in her hand, her eyes flickering.
"What's wrong, little bug? Just going to dodge?"
Carnage Kabuto clenched its fists, laughing maniacally. "Let me tear you apart quickly, so I can destroy this place and go on a killing spree in the city."
"Don't worry, you won't have that chance."
The corner of Esdeath's mouth curled up. "Because today, you will die by my hand."
"Big talk."
Carnage Kabuto sneered.
"Is that so?"
Esdeath's expression was certain. Her white military uniform moved without wind. Her long hair danced.
Hum!
A dazzling golden light bloomed, framing her like a god.
Seeing this, Carnage Kabuto frowned deeply.
'Her aura was actually growing stronger at an unbelievable rate?'
'No, I had to kill her now.'
Without hesitation, Carnage Kabuto attacked.
"Surprise attacks aren't a good habit."
Killing intent gathered in Esdeath's eyes. Her figure vanished instantly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening roars echoed through the clouds. Walls and the ground exploded, leaving one big crater after another.
Carnage Kabuto and Esdeath fought frenziedly, shaking the entire combat ground and the House of Evolution with continuous roars.
"This is... the power of a blessing?"
Fubuki and Lily were already dumbfounded.
'Using the power Master had given us, she could actually fight evenly with such a monster?'
"The power of a blessing is strong, but it should only be used to save your life."
Ayato gave both of them head pats. "And although the blessing is the same for every servant, because each person's situation is different, the power they display also varies."
"So if you really encounter danger, just call my name. I'll come to you anytime."
"Mm." x2
Fubuki and Lily's cheeks flushed slightly.
Although they weren't children anymore...
Being treated like this by Master...
Felt so wonderful.
