"I am no longer a general. Ever since I was saved by Lady Esdeath, I have only been her servant."
Liva's white hair fluttered in the wind, and the two of them gradually increased their aura. The moment Brand saw the other side, he knew that one of them was destined to die in the Northwest.
"Answer me, Brand, do you intend to join Lady Esdeath's army? If so, you're sure you can attain the rank of vice admiral."
“I no longer wish to serve this country, and this is especially true now that I have met you, General Liva.”
“You can think of it as serving Lady Esdeath, not the country. I have been redeemed because of this, and I can act recklessly and be respected by others. Come with me, Brand. The words of that lady can even erase your sins.”
“I refuse. You are no longer the General Liva I once admired. You have lost all hope in bureaucracy. You may be comfortable with your current position, but I already have a new person to follow.”
Brand summoned the Redback Shrike, its spear tip pointed directly at Riva; battle was inevitable.
Chapter 248 Slaying the Three Beast Warriors, the Power of Explosive Magic
The Imperial Arms Water Dragon Possession: Black Marlin is made from the organs of dangerous aquatic creatures that manipulate water flow, allowing the wearer to freely manipulate the liquids in anything they come into contact with.
In the very center of this lake lies Riva's Absolute Territory. Incidentally, this is the Imperial Arms that Esdeath specifically chose for Riva to counter Moli's flames.
Brand showed no fear as he hoisted the redback shrike onto his shoulder, his fighting spirit palpable.
"Controlling water? This is truly a Teigu that's perfect for the Ice Man's Division!"
"Lady Esdeath can create ice out of thin air. Don't compare yourself to her, you're worlds apart! Water Block Bomb!"
Riva can't stand anyone saying anything bad about Esdeath, even if it's someone who was once his most valued junior.
The water in the center of the lake transformed into bullets that hurtled towards Brand. Brand roared and swung his Redback Shrike, deflecting all the water bullets.
Mo Li sat on the armrest, looking bored, and said to Niu, who was also watching the battle from the sidelines:
"Hey, you little dwarf over there, do you have any tricks up your sleeve that can pique my interest?"
"Shorty? You bastard, don't think that just because you luckily defeated Lady Esdeath, you can spout nonsense here. I'll show you my true strength!"
"Ha, luck. A loss is a loss. Making excuses is the way of the weak."
Mo Li chuckled lightly. He could tell at a glance just how strong Niu really was, and he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for her.
On the contrary, it was Liva who piqued his interest, so Mo Li jumped off the armrest and said to Brand:
"Brand, I'll only give you thirty rounds. If you can't defeat him after thirty rounds, then it'll be time to find someone else."
"Oh, don't worry, Lord Mo Li, I will definitely not let you down!"
Brand roared and charged toward Riva with his spear in hand. Taking a beating passively was not the style of a real man.
Next, Mo Li turned to look at Niu, yawned, and said:
"Hurry up and finish you off, I still want to fight someone even stronger!"
"Oh? You've been underestimated? Well, I'll show you my true trump card: Demon Summoning."
The elegant flute music came again, but this time it wasn't music to control emotions. Instead, it was music to strengthen oneself through performance. Niu's originally thin body suddenly became tall and mighty.
It often only takes the time it takes to transform from a cross-dresser into a muscular man.
Her thick, powerful arms and muscular body indicated that Niu's strength had been greatly enhanced.
"My Imperial Arm, [Scream], is not just for show. Using it on myself can have such a use. How about it, Demon Lord? This is what happens when you underestimate me."
"Trash is trash. Even if your strength increases tenfold, you are still no match for me."
"Stop spouting nonsense, you bastard! Today I will avenge the arrow that Lady Esdeath shot you that year!"
After Niu finished speaking, she jumped into the air, swung her fist, and smashed it straight down at Mo Li.
Mo Li shook his head. Why were these people so stubborn? Or had he been gone for so long that they saw hope of defeating him?
"Fine, then let me show you that the title of Demon King isn't something to be given lightly!"
Mo Li extended a finger and blocked Niu's fist.
Niu's eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be?
Mo Li was enveloped in black magic, and the Demon King's pressure instantly swept across the entire area, even affecting Brand and Riva who were standing nearby.
The two had no choice but to stop fighting and looked towards Mo Li's direction. In an instant, the world changed color, and dark clouds covered the sky.
Liva immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted loudly at Niu:
"Niu, get out of the way! You're not his..."
Before Liva could finish speaking, Mo Li revealed a cruel smile. Now you want to escape? Don't you think it's a little too late?
"Ughh ...
Niu let out a painful howl as her once powerful fist was crushed by Mo Li.
Not only that, Mo Li lifted Niu into the air with one hand and threw her upwards with all his might. Niu flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed, and after reaching the highest point, she began to fall vertically.
Backup Junyang Moxibustion Shanliu Siliu
Seeing this, Riva abandoned his fight with Brand and rushed to the side of the boat, hoping to use the water in the middle of the lake to catch Niu in mid-air and prevent him from being smashed into a puddle of mud.
His idea was good, but unfortunately he miscalculated. Mo Li never intended for him to fall to his death like that.
Mo Li slowly closed his eyes, and an orange magic circle appeared in mid-air.
"Explosion Magic!"
A massive torrent of magic struck Niu head-on, and the aftershocks of the explosion created towering waves. Fortunately, Riva managed to control it, thus preventing the entire ship from capsizing.
After the magic circle disappeared, Riva looked up at the sky again, but there was no trace of Niu. She had long been burned to dust in the explosion.
Even the Imperial Arms vanished without a trace under the effect of the Explosion Magic.
"Is this... the Demon King's true power? As expected, only Lady Esdeath could..."
Seemingly anticipating today's outcome, Riva's words carried a hint of nonchalance.
What Liva didn't know was that mortals could never reach Moli's level. No matter what efforts he made or how much he put in, it would all be in vain.
"However, even if it costs me my life, I will keep you, the Demon King, here!"
"Good ambition, but unfortunately it's misplaced."
Facing the enormous water dragon, Mo Li smiled slightly and snapped his fingers crisply.
The once ferocious water dragon was now covered in frost, which gradually spread outwards. Just a second before it touched Mo Li, it was frozen into an ice dragon.
Seeing that Riva possessed the same ability as Esdeath, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, his mind in complete chaos.
Rival knew nothing about the strength of the person before him, what his Imperial Arm was, or where his limits lay. All he knew was that he was destined to lose this battle.
"Judging from your expression, didn't Esdeath tell you that besides fire, I also have the same ability to control ice as her?"
"That's true, but to die by your hand, I can say my life has not been in vain!"
"Oh dear, I'm not that great, Riva. Everything I do is just for myself. After all, I'm a demon king."
"Hahaha, hahahaha, you really are an interesting person. No wonder Lady Esdeath talks about your name every day. I'm going to go!"
Liva pulled a vial of medicine from his pocket, injected it directly into his body, and then charged towards Mo Li.
Out of respect for the old general, Mo Li sighed and said, "I'll leave you a whole corpse."
When Liva came to him, Mo Li gently stabbed him with the Blade of Rebellion, and his heart was easily pierced as if it were paper.
Liva spat out a mouthful of blood, a look of joy appearing on his face, and muttered:
"Ultimate move—Blood Blade Kill!"
In an instant, the blood droplet transformed into a sharp blade and rushed towards Mo Li. This was Liva's final killing move: controlling his own highly poisonous blood, anyone who came into contact with even a single drop would die.
To Riva's astonishment, Mo Li activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and hid within the Kamui dimension.
"The idea is nice, but the difference in strength between us cannot be offset by such petty tricks."
"Excuse me, Lady Esdeath, I must take my leave now!" Maru.
Chapter 249 The Demon King's Intimidation, the Hunter Army
After confirming Riva's death, Mo Li stepped forward and removed the Imperial Arms [Water Dragon Possession: Black Horse Forest] from his hand.
This thing is a treasure for the Revolutionary Army, so they also put the [Two Great Axes Belvak] into it.
Because Neu was blasted to pieces by her own explosion magic, her Imperial Arm was also destroyed.
After handing the Imperial Arms to Brand, Mo Li opened a portal, preparing to return directly to the Night Raid base.
At this moment, Najenda comforted Leone, whose expression was unusually dejected. When facing Esdeath alone, her beastly instincts made her fear of Esdeath.
When Leone saw Mo Li return, she looked up and said to Mo Li with a solemn expression:
"Mo Li, did you really defeat Esdeath?"
"Of course, why do you ask?"
"Because, when I observed her from the shadows, I realized that the woman exuded such an ominous killing intent, '797,' but I couldn't sense it at all from you!"
Leone was still in shock, so it's not surprising that she had doubts about Mo Li.
Mo Li narrowed his eyes and smiled. How could someone who can't even control his killing intent compare to me?
However, since Leone doubts the authenticity of his defeat of Esdeath, he doesn't mind letting her see what the Demon King's aura is all about.
Thinking of this, Mo Li's golden eyes lit up, staring straight into Leone's eyes. The demon king's pressure was instantly released from Mo Li's body, enveloping the entire base.
For a moment, even Najenda, who was standing to the side, became breathless and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Not to mention Leone, who was at the center of the oppressive aura. She was unable to move and was kneeling on the ground. The Dragon King's bloodline suppression, combined with the Demon King's oppressive aura, would make anyone, unless they were a top-tier expert, feel fear.
"How do you feel? Compared to Esdeath's killing intent, who makes you feel more fear?"
Leone no longer had the courage to answer Mo Li's question; her mind was consumed by fear, and at that moment, she could no longer hear Mo Li's voice.
Seeing this, Najendan stepped forward and tugged at Lamori's clothes, saying:
"Hey, Mo Li, that's enough, isn't it? I don't think Leone did it on purpose!"
"Let me give you a piece of advice, Leone: never underestimate anyone, even if they are a child. They could kill you at any time!"
Mo Li withdrew the demonic aura and returned to his harmless appearance, smiling as he looked at Leone.
Leone was panting heavily, breathing in the fresh air. Only now did she realize the beauty of freedom, and she glanced at Mo Li with great fear.
She had come to believe that Mo Li had once defeated Esdeath. Unlike Esdeath's murderous intent, Mo Li's aura was filled with oppressive force, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Seeing this, Mo Li ignored her and thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to let Leone get used to things in advance.
"These are Imperial Arms that I stole from the Three Beasts. Najenda, find some time to send them to the Revolutionary Army headquarters!"
"You've had quite a haul this time. Brand didn't let you down, did he?"
Najenda looked at the Imperial Arms on the ground and knew that the mission must have been completed perfectly, so she began to worry about Brand.
Brand scratched the back of his head. In front of Najendan, he was too embarrassed to admit that he had only fought a few rounds with Riva and hadn't been of much help at all.
"Not bad, the training over this period of time has paid off, you've passed the assessment!"
Brand was surprised by Mo Li's high praise and burst into tears. He grabbed Mo Li's hands and shook them excitedly.
Mo Li was caught off guard by his actions and delivered an elbow strike that turned him into a bent-over shrimp.
"I still need to get rid of this tendency to get excited easily. Keep up the good work!"
"Then there's no time to lose. I'll make a trip to headquarters first, send these Imperial Arms back, and also send two more people over."
"Oh? Another new person is coming?"
"Yes, Esdeath is back. Besides Mo Li, Night Raid's combat strength also needs to be increased. However, it won't be easy to find people who can immediately come over and become combatants."
After carrying the God's Gear, Najendan tested its weight and, after confirming that it was safe, prepared to set off.
At this moment, Brand suddenly stood up and raised a very serious question.
"Boss, are you going alone? And who will lead the night raid after you leave?"
"Isn't Mo Li here too? He's a higher-ranking member of the Revolutionary Army than I am. It would be best if he led you."
"Me? Forget it, I'm not good at things that require thinking. Let Akame handle it."
Mo Li waved his hand. He didn't want to stay in the Night Raid base forever. He had finally made it to the capital, Esdeath. How could he not go and fight her?
Seeing this, Najendan sighed helplessly; she knew this would be the scene.
Even before Night Raid was established, Najenda and Moli were already colleagues. Whenever they went on a mission, Najenda would strategize while Moli focused solely on killing.
