Chapter 358 Opportunities for Non-Permanent Staff to Become Regular Employees
A buzzing sound gradually grew louder in the wilderness, but it was not the sound of mosquitoes and flies. Instead, it was the sound of countless taut and rapidly vibrating silk threads lying across the night.
"Esdeath, it's been half a year since our last encounter. I wonder how much your strength has improved since then?"
Merard waved his hand, releasing the threads of the Crossed Tail to the surroundings, setting up terrifying cutting traps, and then asked Esdeath, who was running out to fight with bare legs and only wearing pajamas.
"Of course, you've made great progress. Now my puppets are not so easily broken by your threads."
The ground beneath Esdeath's bare feet froze solid, and within two or three breaths, the ice spread to a radius of over fifty meters around her.
Just then, a small dark cloud in the sky obscured the moonlight, and the sound of freezing echoed across the dark wilderness as a cold mist spread.
When the dark clouds dispersed and the moonlight once again bathed the earth, centaur ice riders wielding long spears appeared on the frozen ground, guarding Esdeath as if protecting the queen.
Esdeath raised her hand and pointed in Merad's direction, and the Ice Knight assumed a charging stance.
"Go!"
As their queen finished speaking, the frost hooves began to run, charging fearlessly toward Merard, who was surrounded by cutting traps.
"Turn into ice shards!"
In response, Merard simply waved his hand, and the rapidly vibrating silk threads slashed towards the ice rider.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
A sharp, sawing sound rang out as the charging ice rider was sliced open at the waist. Broly and the others, who had also been chasing after them, witnessed the scene of the ice rider's body being torn apart.
"Ha, what's different about these toys compared to before?"
Merad smiled. Although Esdeath's ice cavalry was capable of crushing a 10,000-strong imperial regular army in a head-on confrontation, the fact that the other party was using such a small force to deal with him was simply an underestimation of him.
Is that really the case?
Esdeath smiled in response, while the ice riders whose bodies had been cut open suddenly sprouted new ice from the clean cuts, growing new bodies one by one.
As for the half of the icy body that fell to the ground, it was transformed back into frost energy and merged into the frozen ground. The frost energy was recovered and then reintroduced into the original body.
Watching the ice rider recover rapidly, Merard frowned and asked, "Your frost abilities have increased again?"
"It's just that the frost energy cycle is stronger. A while ago, I killed a sorcerer who wanted to assassinate me and happened to get some secret techniques from him. I learned them and integrated them into my ice riders, which gave them the ability to repair themselves in cold environments."
Of course, it's not just about repair; each time my ice rider recovers from damage, their body becomes thicker.
In other words, their defensive capabilities have increased, and although there's a limit to the increase in defense, it's enough to improve their combat effectiveness.
Esdeath's tone was somewhat regretful; if the defenses were stacked infinitely, her summoned ice riders would be unmatched.
"Rip!"
The cutting wires came again.
*Smack!*
Although the ice rider's body was still severed, the severing took longer than before, making it much more difficult to cut.
But that wasn't the most desperate thing. The most desperate thing was that the ice rider, whose body had been severed again, recovered once more, and the color of his icy body began to deepen, his defensive power increasing once more.
"Ice Knight, trample her!"
A group of ice golems wielding long spears began to chase after Merad and shoot at him.
"What an amazing ability."
Broly was somewhat surprised, because Esdeath (the poor girl with few happiness points) rarely spoke in the group chat, so he wasn't very familiar with the abilities that the northern alien girl now possessed.
"It is indeed amazing, but Esdeath has always felt that this ability is a bit useless."
Hearing the boy's words, Kuro-tomi spoke up.
"Useless? How could that be? Isn't this just chasing after Merard?"
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
"That's because Merad doesn't have the ability to instantly destroy the Ice Riders. If it were Sister Cole's Thunder God Armor, she could probably eliminate the frost energy within the Ice Riders with just one thunderbolt. Not to mention that Sister Esdeath was chasing you with you as her target. Broly, do you really think your energy blasts wouldn't be able to take down a group of Ice Riders?"
"Uh, I don't know, I'll have to try."
Broly, being pragmatic, immediately gathered a bit of energy at his fingertips and fired an energy ray at an ice rider in the edge of the battlefield.
In just a moment, the ice cavalry, which was so hard that it was difficult to cut, turned into a cloud of water vapor, which was actually vaporized from solid to gas by the energy ball.
Esdeath glanced in this direction but didn't say anything. With a wave of her hand, she conjured up another ice rider from the frost-frozen ground.
Esdeath did indeed want to defeat Broly and become the master of the boys, but she was also aware of her own limitations. She still vividly remembered the destruction caused by the energy blast Broly fired when he left more than five years ago.
Although Esdeath can now cause similar levels of damage, that is only possible in the frigid polar environment, by using the power of nature to create a gigantic ice golem she calls the Ice Storm General, and then grabbing a small iceberg and throwing it with all her might to achieve the terrain destruction effect.
She couldn't even surpass Broly from five years ago, let alone the current Broly. Although Broly's appearance hasn't changed much, Esdeath, who is in close contact with the boy, can sense that her little master, who now has full ownership of herself, is much stronger than before.
"Damn it, these annoying guys."
Merad was somewhat embarrassed. She had sparred with Esdeath before, and although she had never won against Esdeath, Esdeath had to fight her personally to defeat her. She never expected that in this sudden sparring match, she couldn't even beat the ice toy that Esdeath casually conjured.
"Don't underestimate me, just watch this move!"
Merad dodged an ice spear thrust, pulled a bottle from his pocket, and stuck it directly into the modified Cross Tail groove.
"Dissolving solution adheres, causing the wire blades to dance wildly!"
The crossed tail threads, attached to a highly concentrated solution extracted from the stomach of a dangerous species with extremely strong digestive abilities, now possessed an armor-piercing effect. The wildly swirling thread blades, like the high-speed rotating blades of an ice crusher, shredded all the ice cavalry surrounding her into dust.
But that's all. This world isn't some kind of thief king, and it doesn't have any particularly imposing settings. Merard, who is similar to a String-String Fruit user, is just a little sister in front of Esdeath, who uses ice and frost power in a way similar to the Cookie-Cookie Fruit.
Its Imperial Arms is not even as effective as a flamethrower, at least that thing can counteract some of the frost energy in the Ice Rider's body.
Of course, an ordinary person using a flamethrower would probably be killed by the ice cavalry before they could melt it.
Unless it's the [Rubigand] Imperial Arm, which emits flames and generates extremely high temperatures that are difficult to extinguish, it can counter Esdeath's Frost Puppet in terms of elemental properties.
However, this is only a theoretical restraint. In reality, after drinking multiple doses of Demon Essence exchanged for Happiness Points, Esdeath's frost power has surpassed that of many super-dangerous species that live in the polar regions.
If it were just a battle against a Teigu user whose attribute is countered by her own, even if the enemy were exhausted, it would probably not be able to defeat the number of ice riders that Esdeath could summon.
"So, are you convinced yet?"
The ice rider carried back Merard, whose clothes were somewhat torn. Esdeath then asked the assassin leader, who might still have some stamina, but it was definitely not enough to sustain a further high-intensity battle with her.
"Fine, then you can try it first, and I'll try it later. I can even eat your saliva."
Melard didn't care at all who got to taste the boy first.
"Do you need me to teach you how to taste it?"
She asked again.
"I don't need you to teach me; it's more fun to figure it out myself."
"All right."
Merad shrugged and was put down by the ice rider.
"I'm exhausted, I'm a bit weak now, can you carry me back?"
The girl with the beauty mark, who was slumped on the ground, opened her arms to the girl who was only wearing pajamas and had long, bare legs, and asked for her embrace.
"How about I have my ice rider carry you?"
Esdeath rolled her eyes at her and asked.
"Never mind then, I'm afraid it will hurt my stomach if something cold touches my stomach."
Melard immediately got up from the ground, as was her habit as an assassin; she always reserved some strength for herself.
In other words, he knew Esdeath wouldn't kill him; otherwise, if he knew he couldn't defeat the enemy, he might have chosen the assassin's path of fleeing far away after a failed attack.
Under the moonlight, two girls walked back together.
"What a fantastic battle!"
Broly praised Esdeath as she returned.
"Come on, this level of fighting is probably like children playing house in front of you."
Esdeath rolled her eyes at Broly, then picked him up and started smelling him. Suddenly, she remembered a shameless female elf's misunderstanding in the Crystal Palace chat room many years ago, so she attacked Broly's mouth.
I can't describe the details, but it stretched when it separated.
"Thank you for the meal!"
After swallowing the scavenged delicacy, Esdeath offered her thanks.
"You're welcome."
Broly smacked his lips twice; he rarely experienced something like this.
"It's my turn."
Without any hesitation, Merad took Broly from Esdeath's hand and prepared to taste it.
"Wait, didn't you lose?"
Mine stepped forward to stop it.
"Losing just means you have to postpone the experience, it doesn't mean you won't get to taste it at all."
Melard said it as a matter of course.
"Or perhaps you'd like to have a little competition with me and decide the order in which we taste them?"
She asked again.
"Woo~"
Mine was speechless; as a long-range sniper, she was no match for Merad.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].
Broly has been attacked again.
Unlike Esdeath, who had almost no experience, Melard was quite skilled in this area.
Like an experienced driver taking a novice passenger on a fast drive on Mount Akina, Broly showcases a variety of seemingly dangerous cornering techniques.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be captivated by the thrilling and exciting high-speed driving technology, but unfortunately Broly only felt a little itchy.
After he could no longer stand Merard tickling his palate, he pushed the other man's tongue out.
Hearing Broly scratching his palate, the girl with the beauty mark licked her lips, seemingly still wanting more.
Through this experience of using her skills on the other person, she also realized that her aversion to men had not worked on him.
Perhaps it was because the memory of being defeated by Broly when she was a child was too deep that Broly had left an extremely deep impression on her consciousness.
In short, the first experience with the opposite sex was quite nice.
Did you know that the human body has a variety of scent glands? Sweat glands are located in the armpits, and some people also have an odor in the RY area.
As she spoke, Melard began to take action, and she was serious about tasting the flavors.
"Some species, such as felines, remember the scent of their own kind by sniffing their mates."
"Wait, what are you doing? Are you a feline?"
Melard's increasingly outrageous behavior was stopped.
"I'm not a feline, but I've been trained in drug testing and can remember various scents with my tongue. I'm preparing to learn how felines remember scents to remember Broly's smell."
"Bang!"
Merad took a punch to the head; it was Esdeath who did it.
"I can't do that, so I forbid you from doing it too."
That's what the girl said.
"After I transform into a beast king, I become a big cat..."
Esdeath looked over, her cold gaze causing Leone's voice to soften.
"But I remember that I am still a human being, and a human being cannot be without limits."
she says.
Is there really such a way to remember scents?
Broly, somewhat curious, asked Merard, who had turned to grab his own tail and sniff it.
"What, do you want to learn?"
Melard doesn't mind being the one to take the lead.
"No, I'm just a little curious, and I don't need to use scent to remember people, because I can remember each of your scents, as long as we don't stay apart for too long or your scents change too much."
Broly shook his head and then spoke seriously.
"By the way, Brother Broly, how many days will you be able to stay in this world this time?"
Chikushi asked out of curiosity.
"I'll probably be leaving in a few days, maybe the day after tomorrow, because I need to build the interior space of the Crystal Palace, find a new wife, and accumulate more happiness points."
Broly answered honestly.
"Huh, it's so short?"
The women were astonished, and Mine's eyes widened as she demanded, "Then why did you stay in Tohsaka's world for so many days?"
"Oh, that's because I met a new wife over there. And the reason I'm so eager to build the interior space of the Crystal Palace is because my new wife in that world was kidnapped by bad guys, so I plan to build a shelter for everyone to escape danger at any time."
"So that's how it is."
The twin sisters looked enlightened and nodded their heads.
"Can we go in too?"
Cornelia asked curiously.
"Uh, no."
Broly looked apologetically at the girls who were playing the roles of wives in the outer positions.
"It's alright, Brother Broly. We're strong enough to protect ourselves."
Seeing this, Cornelia comforted the boy instead.
"That's right."
Tsukushi and Bonnie patted their chests in agreement, but the effects of their patting were completely different.
One is somewhat turbulent, the other is calm and undisturbed.
"Wait, how about we find you a new wife in this world?"
Melard suggested.
"That one might not be enough. I have to pay a stay fee to stay in this world, which is 1000 happiness points per day."
"What?!"
Esdeath was shocked. Broly staying in this world for a few days would be enough for her to exchange for new Demon Essence, even though she no longer drank that stuff because her body had reached the limit of the amount of Demon Essence it could bear, unless her body became stronger again.
"Then find a few more. The Great Western Territory is so vast, and now that we control it, finding a few wives should be more than enough."
"I think it's unlikely. They only approached a few of us before, and Miss Melard, you weren't even one of them!"
Hill, the girl with glasses, knows how to stab someone in the back, which hurt Melard a bit.
"Hey, Broly, how exactly does your Crystal Palace determine whether someone is a wife or not?"
"It says it's a figurine."
"A figurine?"
"Some clay figurines can also be plastic figurines."
"Hey, can we make one of these for ourselves?"
Broly tried asking the Crystal Palace in his consciousness, and soon a reply appeared in his mind.
[To expand the number of official members in Crystal Palace, you must establish a figurine area within Crystal Palace. Note: This service requires a large number of Happiness Points per member, and expanded members do not receive the benefits of joining Crystal Palace, but they will gain the ability to generate Happiness Points after joining.]
Broly recited the script verbatim.
To put it simply, it means it's not possible right now.
Akame's summary.
"But later, after finding many, many wives, upgrading the Crystal Palace, and obtaining a huge amount of happiness points, I was able to do it."
Kurohime added to what her older sister had said.
Melard was shocked; he never expected that his wife, who was in an external position, would have the opportunity to become his official wife.
"We're going to find Broly a new wife, a really good one!"
