Esdeath created dozens more ice spikes around her in an attempt to resist.
"Aren't you going to give up yet?"
After transforming into werewolf form, even sentences that should have been phrased as questions came out of Li Wei's mouth as flat narrations.
"You can't even beat me with my initial adjustments, so what right do you have to be my opponent?"
Li Wei said indifferently, "Then, give up struggling in despair."
"Life Adjustment - Second-Tier Catalog Unlocked - Fire Wolf Form"
After saying that, Li Wei, who had transformed into a werewolf, had all his silver fur burst into flames!
"Stronger!?"
Esdeath's expression was ashen; this was the first time she had felt a sense of crisis since she began fighting Li Wei.
However, even so, the years of hardship she endured in that difficult environment, along with her father's teachings, made it impossible for her to surrender easily.
As Li Wei transformed into her second form, she created hundreds of ice spikes and then launched a swarm attack!
"Little tricks."
Li Wei suddenly looked up at the sky and roared.
Awooo—!!!
The sound instantly resounded in all directions, and at the same time, the flames on Li Wei's body suddenly became even hotter, looking from a distance like a small sun that had fallen to earth.
The ice spikes created by Esdeath were vaporized by the intense heat before they could even reach Li Wei!
Esdeath began to panic, clenching her teeth, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
She could already feel the immense pressure emanating from Li Wei, and for a moment, she couldn't think of a way to deal with him.
As for Mahapadma's hidden ability, according to the original work, it was a finishing move she developed to prevent Tatsumi from leaving her side.
In other words, Esdeath wouldn't have used this move before encountering Tatsumi.
If Esdeath were to gain control of Makopotama later, that would be one thing, but at least for now, Esdeath has no trump cards.
"A foreign race, how could such a powerful monster appear?!"
Just as Esdeath was pondering a solution, a large patch of snow around Li Wei was rapidly melted into water, and even turned into mist under the high temperature.
"Aren't you planning to give up yet?"
Li Wei's gaze began to turn cold.
"It's laughable that someone as weak as an ant dares to defy the heavens."
After saying that, Li Wei opened his mouth.
A burst of flame erupted!
PS:
PP: I recommend a book by a great author, "You're So Lazy, Dracula," which is also a hilarious story of an invincible protagonist.
Chapter 161 The Bet with Esdeath
Along the way, Fan Xinxian finally figured out many questions, such as why Night Raid trusted Li Wei's strength so much, why Li Wei could become familiar with Night Raid so quickly, and why Night Raid did not have any suspicion of Li Wei, a newcomer who had only joined a few days ago.
The reason is that Li Wei's strength has already recovered to an unknown extent.
In other words, Li Wei is already capable of taking down the entire Night Raid team by himself, so why would he need to be a spy and infiltrate?
Furthermore, Fan Xinxian had to admit that Li Wei's interpersonal skills were definitely a factor in this.
Although he had no idea what kind of social skills Li Wei might have.
After dealing with the decapitated Zank, the two quickly returned to launch a night raid on headquarters.
Zank's Imperial Arms were also recovered.
Night raid on headquarters—
All the members looked with great interest at the Imperial Arm that Li Wei and his companion had brought back, also known as the Five-Sight Omnipotent, which was a green eye-shaped Imperial Arm.
"In other words, this Imperial Arm possesses several abilities, including clairvoyance, farsightedness, X-ray vision, futuristic vision, and hallucinations?" Boss Najenda asked.
Since her arm and eyes recovered, Najenda's temperament and appearance have improved significantly, making Lubbock, a tall green-haired man who has always had a crush on her, feel his heart pound uncontrollably.
"Oh? The ability to see through things."
Upon hearing this, Leone took the Five Visions Omnipotent from Li Wei with great interest.
"Speaking of which, this Imperial Arm should be quite in line with your perverted tastes, Li Wei."
Li Wei scoffed, then said in a disdainful tone, "I don't need this kind of thing."
"Stop being hypocritical," Leone said casually, patting Li Wei on the shoulder. "You've already revealed your true nature, and you're still trying to hide your perverted nature."
Li Wei glared at him and said, "So what if I'm a pervert? So what if I'm a pervert?!"
"Today I'm proud of being a pervert, tomorrow perverts will be proud of me!"
"..."
"How disgusting," said the haughty twin-tailed Mine with a look of disgust. "Tell me, you're definitely planning to use it secretly, aren't you?"
"I already said I don't need it."
"You actually won't admit it... Wait!" Mine suddenly widened her eyes and said, "...Are you sure you didn't misstate yourself?"
Cimain glared at Li Wei with an unfriendly expression.
"No, I already know how to do it, why would I install this crappy thing?"
"..."
"Li Wei, you pervert! Aaaaaaah!"
Mine suddenly pulled out a sniper rifle; it was her Imperial Arm, Romantic Cannon Pumpkin.
"Don't worry, don't worry," Li Wei waved his hand, "I might not even watch Esdeath, let alone you weaklings who are even worse than Esdeath, I wouldn't bother watching you."
"..."
When Esdeath was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
This is the name of the strongest person in the capital, and also a mountain weighing on the hearts of everyone in the Revolutionary Army.
BOSS Najenda couldn't help but light a cigarette, take a deep drag, and say, "Don't worry, Esdeath has been transferred to the capital to suppress the northern alien races. Even if she is in charge, it will probably take her at least a year to settle things there."
Then, Najeta saw Li Wei looking at her with a strange expression.
"Li Wei, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
Najenda teased, "You don't want to duel her, do you? Let me tell you, you'd better not even think about it. Esdeath is the absolute strongest in the Empire. To defeat her, you would need at least 50,000 elites and more than ten Imperial Arms users, including Akame."
"Although I know you are very strong, it's best not to act rashly when you encounter her alone."
"is it?"
"Yes."
"Oh."
--------
Li Wei, in his fire werewolf form, coldly watched Esdeath, whose clothes were burned to shreds, revealing patches of her snow-white skin.
The surrounding snow had long since evaporated, revealing a large patch of soil.
"Is that so? I lost."
There was no hysteria, nor much sadness or loss, Esdeath said.
"The strong prevail, the weak perish, and I, too, will face this day."
"you are wrong."
After a long while, Li Wei uttered these words. His murderous aura gradually faded, and his werewolf transformation was quickly dispelled. Soon, Li Wei returned to human form.
"I was wrong?"
Esdeath chuckled softly, "The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, isn't that normal?"
"No, no, no, you mean without me."
"You?" Esdeath asked in confusion.
Li Wei said calmly, "Yes, there are no strong people in front of me."
"The only ones who deserve to live are those who do not stand in my way. Even if they are invincible strongmen, it is meaningless."
“Interesting,” Esdeath began to scrutinize Li Wei seriously. “I didn’t expect that you and I are the same kind of people.”
"But it's no use. You win, you live on, while I lose and perish."
"Don't worry, I never intended to be friends with you."
Esdeath paused for a moment, then said coldly, "If you don't kill me, you'll regret it. One day, I'll turn the tables and kill you!"
“I, Esdeath, do not need anyone’s pity to live.”
Li Wei shook his head. "I'll come find you again tonight."
After saying that, Li Wei left, leaving Esdeath standing there in a daze.
After nightfall—
Esdeath sat quietly alone in a chair inside the tent, with a tea set on the table next to her, but it hadn't been touched much.
Around midnight, a figure walked in.
"Since you're here, just say what you have to say," Esdeath said coldly.
"Not urgent."
Li Wei set up a chessboard on the table and sat opposite Esdeath.
"This is Go. You may not have heard of it. Let me briefly explain the rules to you."
Soon, Li Wei explained the rules of Go to Esdeath.
Esdeath was a very intelligent person; she mastered the method of playing chess after only hearing it once.
Then, their nights began with playing chess...
————A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold——————
Yes, overnight, Li Wei earned a thousand gold coins from Esdeath.
The next day, near dawn, Esdeath frowned slightly and said, "So, you mean we're like those chess pieces surrounded by others? And outside those pieces, there are other pieces?"
"So... there are worlds beyond this world?"
Li Wei nodded.
Esdeath shook her head and said, "I don't quite understand."
"No, you just don't believe it yet. The world is so vast, how can you so easily see the end?"
“Interesting, but I am a general of the Empire,” Esdeath said slowly.
"The empire is already mine, and you are mine too."
Li Wei said casually, "How about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"This is a bet with you, and with others. If you lose, you will be my spoils."
"It doesn't matter if I lose, of course, I have no chance of losing."
Li Wei suddenly stood up and left with his back to Esdeath.
"When you encounter those four people, please tell them for me—"
The sun was rising just then, and the dawn sunlight shone on Li Wei, casting a long shadow from behind.
