Chapter 204: Dangerous Beast
— There are no flaws in your words at this point. If you help me with something, you will become a soldier of the empire. But! If I discover that you have any other goals, I will personally kill you, " Esdes said.
— Su Xiao's answer was very simple. At the same time, Su Xiao sighed in his head.
Su Xiao discovered one thing. Some of the female characters he remembered from the anime were slightly different from their "real" versions. The Esdes in front of him was belligerent and aggressive and was not inferior to Su Xiao in terms of ferocity.
He might be able to kill Esdes at a huge price, but there was no way he could make her his subordinate.
Once he joined the empire and met female characters like Leone and Akame from Night Raid, it would essentially be a matter of life and death.
If he had the desire to have a normal relationship with girls from this world, then that would be the strangest pipe dream. Beauties like Esdes and Akame were generals or assassins who had been trained since childhood. Each of them had their own beliefs.
Trying to change their minds was just a pipe dream.
*Crunch-crunch...*
Su Xiao and Esdes were walking on a snowy field...
— Don't you wonder where we're going?" Esdeath looked sideways at Su Xiao.
— No.
If it was someone else, Esdes might have been able to expose him right away if the person didn't smell like blood, but Su Xiao was no different from an ordinary assassin at the moment.
— Who trains such competent killers?
Su Xiao didn't say anything, and Esdes smiled up ahead.
— If you don't answer, then all my previous words will be invalid and you won't be able to join the empire, "Esdes' beautiful eyes flashed.
— Alright, let's forget about it then, " Su Xiao stopped and turned around, then started walking in the opposite direction.
— Just a joke, don't be so serious~, " Esdes stood still and looked in his direction, but Su Xiao didn't stop.
In fact, the assassins were like spies from the modern world. In the" underworld", no one could throw words to the wind. This was an iron law that had reached all the way down to modern times, and Su Xiao, who used to live in the 'underworld', knew this very well.
— As I said earlier, help me with one thing. Help me and then you will become my direct subordinate.
This time Su Xiao's footsteps stopped.
— Well.
Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and realized that he would have to be careful in the future.
The two of them continued walking through the snowy field. An icy wind was constantly blowing, but Esdeath looked as if the cold didn't exist.
Su Xiao walked behind her in silence. Unless Esdes asked a question, he wouldn't take the initiative. After all, if he said too many words, she would definitely be able to find flaws in them, and although the situation looked harmonious right now, once he was caught lying, he would probably end up dying in the end.
— Don't you really want to know where we're going?" Esdeath took the initiative and asked a question.
— No, but it's best if we reach our destination within three hours. Otherwise, the cold climate will reduce my combat effectiveness, " Su Xiao knew that Esdeath might be leading him to a very dangerous place, but he wasn't worried about it.
— The journey won't take that long, we'll get there in just half an hour. As a child, I lived in the north, where there is a dangerous beast called Fenrir. Giant wolves are its descendants. If I understand correctly, the people of the north have reached a consensus with him, so now we must kill him.
After listening to Esdes, Su Xiao felt a slight heaviness.
The dangerous beasts in this world were by no means weak. Some of them were even stronger than Esdes and could naturally use the natural elements.
Each such beast had a well-developed body and was able to manipulate some element. Some of them could breathe fire, some of them could control water, and some of them were so abnormal that they left behind such tendons along with bones that they hadn't changed in hundreds of years.
The reason why the Teigu possessed such supernatural powers was because of these dangerous creatures.
This trip promised to be dangerous, but it could be very useful. Given Esdes ' personality, there were only two reasons why she would go after this beast together with Su Xiao.
In the first place, this 'Fenrir' was too strong, and Esdes wouldn't be able to deal with it alone.
Secondly, Esdes wanted to check not only Su Xiao's identity, but also his purpose.
Su Xiao suspected that this was both the first and second option, and because of this, he felt a slight heaviness in his heart. If they were heading for a beast that Esdeath couldn't handle alone, then neither could he.
— We've arrived.
After walking for half an hour in a snowy field, the two of them came to a cave. The cave was at least ten meters high. The interior of the cave was dark, and the cold wind constantly flew into the cave in huge streams, causing a hum at the entrance.
— Can you assess the terrain inside?" Esdeath unsheathed her slender sword and looked earnestly into the cave.
— There's probably a creature there, but I'm not sure, " Su Xiao said. The creature in the cave was somewhat strange. He could sometimes sense it, and sometimes not.
— You can feel it?
— Four meters high and about seven meters long. I can't say more than that. It is very likely that he is in a calm state. If I engage this creature alone, I'll probably have about a 40% chance of winning, " after saying that, Su Xiao decided that if Esdes sent it inside alone, it would immediately leave.
Even if he couldn't join the Empire, he could join the Night Raid, even if he had to work hard to complete the main mission.
— Hmm? Then it's fine. Esdes was the first to enter the cave, and Su Xiao followed behind her.
The situation was progressing more smoothly than he had expected.
— Wait, " Su Xiao said, and Esdes turned around doubtfully.
— If I'm right, this creature is sleeping, so your approach is too straightforward. I suggest we suddenly attack it.
— Surprise attack?
— Yes, I'll get through first, and you'll back me up.
Esdeath thought for a moment.
— Are you sure?
— Su Xiao's direct answer allowed Esdes to not hesitate.
— I need about five seconds, as soon as you hear an extraneous sound, it will be a signal, " Su Xiao said and sighed. Now it's time for him to "show his loyalty." No matter how many fancy words he says, gaining trust has always been easier with real actions.
A sword appeared in his hand, and Su Xiao's breathing along with his heartbeat gradually began to slow down.
Taking a deep breath and stopping his breathing, Su Xiao slowly entered the cave, his feet treading on the snow without making a sound.
Esdes ' eyes lit up after witnessing this scene. He was definitely a good assassin, and now she believed in Su Xiao's background even more.
After walking inside the cave, a large space opened up in front of him. A white-haired giant wolf was curled up at the end of the cave and sleeping quietly on the ground.
Although this giant wolf was sleeping, Su Xiao could sense the danger coming from it. His aura made his hair stand on end.
Su Xiao quietly approached the giant wolf...
Raising his sword, the blade flashed in the cold light, and Su Xiao's muscles tightened greatly.
*Pouf!*
Blood spurted out, and the palm-sized wolf's ear fell to the ground severed.
*Oooh-oooh-oooh~*
Fenrir jumped to the side, and his eyes glared at Su Xiao with anger, while a threatening growl escaped from his throat.
Fenrir woke up just as the blade was about to kill him, and because of that, he was able to dodge.
«This beast won't be easy to deal with," Su Xiao thought.
Fenrir was four meters tall and about seven meters long. The fur on its body was like snow-white, and its sharp claws reflected a metallic sheen.
Su Xiao wanted to chop off its head, but the giant wolf's speed was so fast that it was even momentarily terrified.
Hurried footsteps immediately rang out from behind.
Esdes entered the cave.
