The Fruit of Surgery

"What to do is very simple, General Bud. I have had the idea of ​​seeing your strength for a long time. Today is a good opportunity."

For Esdeath, the real purpose of coming to the palace to fight with Bud is to clear out the other people in the palace. It is just a side job.

Although Esdeath is known as the strongest in the empire, it is only because she has been more active. In terms of strength, before meeting Shen Fei, if Mokobotmo's ability to freeze time and space is not counted, Esdeath may not be able to beat General Bud.

General Bud's imperial weapon Thunder God's Wrath Admiral and Esdeath's Demon God's Demonic Essence are both elemental manipulation imperial weapons, and the element they control is thunder.

Among all the forty-eight imperial weapons, elemental manipulation imperial weapons are undoubtedly top-level imperial weapons. In fact, there were several such imperial weapons at the beginning. Unfortunately, over the years, other elemental imperial weapons have either been destroyed or disappeared. Now, among the remaining imperial weapons, there are only these two elemental manipulation imperial weapons.

"Are you trying to rebel at this time?" Esdeath's words made General Bud very angry. If it was any other time, General Bud would not think so, because according to Esdeath's character, it is normal to challenge him.

In fact, Esdeath did fight. It is obvious that with Esdeath's character, how could he not challenge General Bud, the hidden master of the empire? As for the result of the battle, of course, Esdeath lost.

After all, there is a big age gap between Esdeath and General Bud. Esdeath had not reached the peak at that time, while General Bud was in his prime. At that time, Esdeath had not yet realized the secret of his Ice Imperial Tool, Mokobotmo, while General Bud had already realized the secret of his Thunder Imperial Tool.

"Rebellion, if the general thinks so, it doesn't matter." If it were someone else, even Shen Fei, they would basically say some righteous words at this time, such as the little emperor is incompetent and Minister Ernest is cruel and inhumane, to occupy the righteousness, but for Esdeath, these are all nonsense, the strong are respected, it's that simple.

"You." Esdeath's frankness made General Bud's face change immediately. General Bud's idea was actually similar to Minister Ernest, that is, the group of rebels was not to be feared at all. After all, the empire had Esdeath and him. In front of these two, the number of troops was not to be feared at all. If they wanted to carry out a decapitation operation, the revolutionary army could not stop it.

But now Esdeath has betrayed, and with this plus and minus, the empire has suddenly fallen into the most dangerous situation.

"General Bud, the Northern Legion raided the imperial capital and has now captured the South Gate." Just when General Bud wanted to say something to ease Esdeath's thoughts, a soldier with blood on his body suddenly rushed over quickly. After seeing General Bud, he seemed to be relieved and immediately shouted loudly.

"Esdeath, you are so brave." As soon as the soldier finished speaking, General Bud's face changed immediately. Before that, although he started to say that Esdeath wanted to rebel, in fact, he himself did not believe that Esdeath would rebel. He knew Esdeath's character. If he wanted to rebel, he could have led the Northern Legion to rebel long ago.

But the soldier's report made him believe it, because he knew this soldier and he was his direct subordinate.

"General Esdeath actually rebelled." When the officials standing on the palace wall heard that Esdeath had rebelled and the Northern Legion was attacking the imperial capital, including Minister Ernest, all their faces changed. If it was just Esdeath who rebelled, the empire still had General Budd, and these people would not be too afraid, but the appearance of the Northern Legion was different.

Looking at the battles of the empire in recent years, it can be said that it was basically the victory news of Esdeath and his Northern Legion, against the northern aliens, against the western aliens, and so on.

"Damn it, how could this happen? I should have killed this bastard earlier and told him not to provoke Esdeath." Minister Ernest cursed in his heart as he looked at Sheila, who had been thrown aside in the square in front of the palace gate and had become a human stick.

Sheila was lustful and had always coveted Esdeath. In fact, Minister Ernest was the same, but Minister Ernest was much smarter than Sheila and knew that Esdeath was not easy to mess with.

"Esdeath, Budd, both of you guys, die here." Minister Ernest, who was standing on the wall of the palace, could easily see the smoke and fire in the distance. After scanning his eyes left and right, he immediately left the wall quietly.

Minister Ernest was able to sit in this position, of course he would not put his life in the hands of Esdeath. He also had means to restrain Esdeath. The imperial device Ileston in his hand was one of his trump cards. This imperial device restrained other imperial devices, whether it was the ice imperial device or the thunder imperial device, it could destroy it.

In addition to this imperial device, Minister Ernest's last trump card was naturally the supreme imperial device that only the royal family could activate.

The reason why Ernest kept the little emperor was not that he did not want to kill the little emperor, but that he needed him to be alive, only in this way could he use his bloodline to activate the supreme imperial device.

The Supreme Imperial Armour is the ultimate trump card of Minister Ernest. Under this Imperial Armour, the Ice Imperial Armour and the Thunder Imperial Armour are all vulnerable. However, Minister Ernest took it for granted and did not know about the explosion. The Supreme Imperial Armour was stopped by the dragon-like Tatsumi.

Boom.

When Minister Ernest just left the wall of the palace, General Bud and Esdeath started the first round of fighting. The battle between lightning and ice instantly destroyed the ground dozens of meters around them.

Poor Sheila was affected by the aftermath of the fight between the two men because he was in the vicinity of the fight between the two men. His body, which was originally a human stick, was directly hit by the ninth heaven of ice and thunder. He did not even have time to scream before he completely lost his breath.

However, Esdeath and General Bud did not care about him at all at this time. They only had each other in their eyes. At this time, General Bud's armor was shining with white lightning.

General Budd, who possesses the Thunder Emperor, can be said to be the nemesis of melee enemies. He can cover his whole body with thunder to form a set of thunder armor. Attacking him is equivalent to attacking thunder.

In terms of pure destructive power, thunder is much more powerful than ice.

In the original book, if it weren't for Marin's overdrawing of mental power to kill General Budd in a way of mutual destruction, allowing him to survive, he would be more dangerous than Esdeath.

Facing General Budd in a set of thunder armor, Esdeath also formed a set of ice armor around her body. This was originally an ability that Esdeath would not use, but after communicating with Shen Fei, she immediately developed it.

The ability of the Ice Emperor to make ice at will gives it unlimited possibilities. This is the same as the Devil Fruit, which needs to be developed. That is, the Ice Emperor cannot be elementalized, otherwise it will be directly elementalized to avoid it. There is no need to develop ice armor.

"White Ice Spikes." As Esdeath waved her right hand, a large number of ice cones appeared out of thin air in front of her and quickly shot towards General Budd.

Facing Esdeath's attack, General Budd had no defense at all. He directly relied on the Thunder Armor and rushed towards Esdeath with a large number of ice cones.

Furious, General Budd, who was wearing a Thunder Armor, looked extremely violent at this time.

"Ice wall." Facing General Budd who was rushing directly, Esdeath summoned a thick ice wall in front of him, and then he immediately dodged to the side. Sure enough, this ice wall could not stop General Budd at all and was directly hit by him.

With Esdeath's current strength, if he used Mokobotmo, he could completely solve General Budd in an instant, but Mokobotmo was his trump card. He would not use it at will unless his life was in danger. Looking at the several times Esdeath used Mokobotmo, his life was always in danger.

Bang bang bang.

After discovering that the use of the imperial tool could not cause any damage to General Budd, Esdeath gave up the long-range attack, pulled out the Western sword at his waist, and started a close combat with General Budd.

If Esdeath had done this before, it would be to use her own weakness to attack the enemy's strength. However, with the bonus of water breathing and ice armor, she can completely fight General Bud.

"Esdeath." The stalemate with Esdeath made General Bud very angry. Compared with Esdeath who could fight with him wholeheartedly, General Bud had to worry about the situation in the imperial capital.

The appearance of the Northern Legion made Bud understand how dangerous the situation in the imperial capital was. He didn't have much doubt about why the Northern Legion could appear in the imperial capital so quickly. Sheila fell into Esdeath's hands, and he could use the imperial weapon Shangri-La to teleport the people of the Northern Legion to the imperial capital.

Boom.

The angry General Budd, not caring about entanglement with Esdeath, directly used the secret of the Thunder Emperor, the Thunder God. As General Budd roared, a powerful lightning light appeared above his head. These lightnings directly struck General Budd, but these lightnings did not cause any harm to General Budd. Instead, they were absorbed by him. The lightning on his body continued to expand, and finally a lightning giant nearly ten meters tall appeared in front of Esdeath.

This is the secret of the Thunder Emperor, the Thunder God's anger. He will release powerful lightning with every move. It can be said that such a lightning giant, appearing in the army, does not need to be attacked deliberately. The lightning released around his body alone is enough to destroy an army.

"Is this your strongest power, General Budd?" Esdeath looked at the huge lightning giant with a hint of excitement on his face. As his body jumped back, he gently snapped his fingers with his right hand, and a huge ice ball with a diameter of about ten meters immediately appeared in the sky and smashed directly towards General Budd.

Boom.

The huge ice ball was smashed to pieces by the thunder giant's punch, and the scattered ice fragments scattered around. Many of them fell into the palace, and some unlucky ministers and guards were directly crushed to death.

Fortunately, the palace was far away from the street, and other fragments did not affect civilians except for destroying some ground and scenery.

"One more time." Esdeath snapped his fingers again, and a huge ice ball appeared in the sky again. At the same time, Esdeath pressed his hands on the ground in front of him, and instantly a huge ice cone broke out of the ground and quickly hit the thunder giant in front.

Immediately afterwards, two huge ice cones rushed out from the other two directions.

Boom.

Facing the three ice cones and the huge ice ball in the sky, a dazzling lightning burst out from the body of the lightning giant. The three ice cones and the huge ice ball were directly destroyed by the lightning. This time, not even a fragment was left. They were all melted by the lightning.

Seeing the attack being resolved again, Esdeath's face did not show a trace of disappointment. After taking a few deep breaths, her expression became more excited.

Even with Esdeath's strength, such continuous attacks consumed a lot of physical strength. The same was true for General Bud. When Esdeath took a deep breath to recover his physical strength, the same was true for General Bud.

"Esdeath." A moment later, General Bud roared, and a lightning spear about three meters long immediately appeared on the right hand of the lightning giant, and then shot towards Esdeath at lightning speed.

"Mokobotamo." Esdeath, sensing the extreme danger, immediately used the time-space freeze that could only be used once a day. Lightning was the fastest, and Esdeath, who had not yet realized the Hakimi and whose strength was not strong enough, could not dodge General Bud's attack at all.

As Mokobotamo unfolded, the surroundings immediately turned into a vast expanse of white. Looking at the lightning scene at this time, it was only about half a meter away from Esdeath's chest. If Esdeath hesitated for a moment, he would probably be pierced through the body by the lightning spear.

"It's really dangerous. Goodbye, General Bud, Gray Ice Giant Horn." Looking at the lightning spear that was so close, even Esdeath couldn't help but flash a trace of relief in her eyes at this time. When her body missed the lightning spear, she immediately summoned a huge ice cone again.

Under the condition of frozen time and space, this huge ice cone directly penetrated the lightning body outside the lightning giant, and penetrated the body of General Bud inside. The powerful force of the ice cone directly pushed General Bud's body out of the lightning giant.

Boom.

As the time and space were unfrozen, Esdeath's body immediately exploded with a loud noise, which was the sound of the lightning spear piercing the ground. At this time, General Bud's body was nailed directly to the wall of the palace by the huge ice cone.

"General Bud." The death of General Bud made all the ministers on the palace wall look terrified and confused. Many people thought of the rumors about Esdeath, and their bodies immediately became wet.

"Revenge for the general." Compared with those frightened ministers, many guards on the wall immediately jumped off the wall and rushed towards Esdeath.

The walls of the imperial palace are not used to defend against enemy attacks, but to prevent outsiders from spying on the palace. Therefore, they are not high. If the enemy can reach the imperial palace, what is the use of the high walls?

Although the empire already has weapons such as guns and missiles, the weapons in the hands of the guards guarding the palace are mainly cold weapons.

"Looking for death."
