Chapter 313 Time Barrier
Does the sealing of [One Cut, One Kill·Murasame] have any impact on Akame? It seems so, but the impact is really not big, because Akame herself is not very dependent on [One Cut, One Kill·Murasame].

Akahime was stunned for a moment, and didn't realize that [One Cut to Kill: Murasame] was disabled. After she realized what was happening, she continued to chop at Minister Ernest without stopping.

Minister Ernest was very fast and agile, which was totally inconsistent with his appearance. He easily dodged Akame's slash and distanced himself in the blink of an eye.

Chi Tong's expression was solemn. Just now, when Minister Ernest pulled the little emperor away, he had already demonstrated terrifying speed and reaction ability. Now she was sure that the information given by Devil was not a joke, and Minister Ernest was indeed powerful.

"Get out of the way."

Minister Ernest put the little emperor aside and let the child hide away. He knew that he could not escape unless he got rid of the pursuers.

"Minister!"

The little emperor looked at Ernest with a panicked look on his face. Ernest was now his last straw.

In fact, the young emperor did not expect that Minister Ernest actually had such fighting power. Ernest hid it too well, but at this time, there was no need to worry about these things.

"Stay away!"

Minister Ernest roared with a ferocious look, which scared the little emperor. Ernest had never roared at him like that before.

There was no way, Ernest didn't want to do it, but who could have made him see Bud rushing towards him with sparks and lightning? Facing the red eyes, Ernest was not afraid, because this professional killer obviously had no intention of sparing the little emperor's life.

But if it were Bud, it would not be certain. Although Bud chose to rebel, he had always been a loyal subject of the empire and would not necessarily kill the little emperor.

At this moment, the little emperor is the last card in Ernest's hand. He doesn't want Bud to persuade the little emperor to surrender, because the little emperor himself has considerable value.

"General Budd"

After being yelled at, the little emperor looked more and more flustered. Then he saw Bud, whose body was covered in sparks of electricity. The little emperor's expression was extremely complicated. He had never expected that things would develop like this. He had never expected that he would end up like this. Everything happened too fast and too suddenly.

"The Four Rakshasa Demons, Esdeath, and the Three Beast Warriors, what are they doing?!"

Minister Ernest gritted his teeth and looked at Chi Tong and Bud in front of him. He was puzzled. Four masters of the Royal Fist Temple plus four imperial tools users couldn't stop three people?! Two of them broke through and caught up?!

Eight masters were held back by just one person?!
Ernest could clearly hear that a battle was still going on on the ground, and it was very fierce. There was a constant rumbling sound and the ground was shaking. This made Ernest unable to help but worry that the tunnel would collapse.

"Don't worry about them. Worry about yourself, Ernest. Surrender and leave some dignity behind."

Bud looked at Ernest and spoke straightforwardly without even looking at the little emperor next to him. After all, he had no real decision-making power and naturally could not agree to anything casually. He said he would not kill the little emperor, but if Ke Ling wanted to kill him, he would have no way to stop him.

"Decent? What kind of decent can it be?"

Ernest sneered at Bud's surrender. How could he, who had enjoyed all the glory and wealth and had great power, surrender? Just thinking about it, he knew what fate was waiting for him. Instead of being tried in humiliation, he might as well fight to the death!
"Since you don't want dignity, I won't give you dignity."

Sparks flashed on Bud's body, and without any further ado, he rushed straight towards Ernest.

"Zizzizi!"

Lightning flashed, illuminating the dark tunnel. Ernest almost bit his teeth off. He couldn't understand why his [Gemstone Tiara·Ireston] had no effect on Bud. He probably would never get over this question in his mind until his death.

Of course, even if it had an effect, it would be useless now. It would take at least a week for [Gemstone Headdress·Ireston] to recover. [Gemstone Headdress·Ireston] that had been used once was now waste and had no use at all.

"call!"

Ernest took a deep breath and gathered all his strength. There was lightning wrapped around Bud's body, so he had no way to fight with him. He was not resistant to electricity either, so he could only try to win with one move.

"Hundred-Split Fist!"

This is the secret skill of the Royal Fist Temple, a unique skill that only true masters can master. Ernest waved his hands and threw countless punches in the blink of an eye. At first glance, it looked like the Pegasus Meteor Fist. Of course, the actual combat effect could not be compared.

Bud was not afraid at all. He fought with Ernest very recklessly. He was the type of person who had "no technique, only numbers". He relied entirely on his physical ability to fight. It seemed as if his whole body was full of electricity and numb from overload.

However, the one who was really numb was Ernest. Although he had strong physical abilities and was much tougher than ordinary people, no matter how powerful he was, he could not withstand the constant beatings of electric current.

Moreover, the toughness of his internal organs is obviously incomparable to that of his skin and muscles. Although the skin was not seriously injured, the internal organs had been severely damaged.

"boom!"

Ernest was blown away and crashed directly into the wall of the tunnel, creating a big hole and cracks spreading in all directions.

"Minister!"

Seeing this scene, the little emperor's eyes were bloodshot. Ernest, whom he had placed high hopes on, failed so easily.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Bud's name implies a lack of martial ethics!
Ernest's [Gemstone Headdress: Ireston] had no effect on him, so he directly fought with Ernest's mortal body with lightning. Isn't this pure bullying of an honest man? !
Watching Minister Ernest slowly sliding down the wall and seeing that he could no longer get up, the little emperor's eyes completely lost their light, and he was unable to even activate the Supreme Imperial Device.

This is probably the charm of the decapitation plan. If it were an ordinary rebellion, even if they reached the imperial capital, they could only besiege the city outside the imperial capital. The emperor would have enough time to activate the Supreme Imperial Artifact and directly eliminate all rebels.

But now, caught off guard, the emperor had no time to activate the supreme imperial weapon. It can be said that he had all four kings in his hands. One can imagine how frustrated the little emperor felt.

Facts have proven that even if the invincible Supreme Imperial Tool is left behind, the royal family is not completely safe. Wasn't the previous emperor also killed by Ernest? Wasn't the royal family also killed by him?

Of course, the fact that bloodline can activate the supreme imperial weapon still leaves some protection for the royal family. At least they can keep a puppet to coax them.

"How to deal with this guy?"

Chi Tong was already standing beside the little emperor, and she asked Bud.

After the whole operation, she felt that she had contributed little, and she felt that she had no say in how to deal with the little emperor. She should listen to the opinions of the party that contributed more. "Wait for Lord Devil to decide."

Bud spoke straightforwardly, and then he walked towards Ernest and took off the imperial device [Gemstone Tiara·Ireston] on this guy's head. Of course he knew that Ke Ling wanted to collect imperial devices, after all, his imperial device was also taken away by Ke Ling.

"Let's go then."

Chi Tong looked at the little emperor. She had no sympathy for the young man. Ernest was the main culprit, and the little emperor must be an accomplice at least. It was totally unworthy for him to die.

"General Budd"

The little emperor looked at Bud, his eyes full of begging. He didn't know what he was begging for. Maybe he wanted Bud to let him go?

"."

Bud picked up the unconscious Ernest and turned away, ignoring the little emperor's begging.

The little emperor lowered his head in silence and walked forward obediently under the supervision of Chi Tong. He now understood that the other man fighting with Esdeath was probably the leader of this group and the object of General Bud's loyalty now.

"General Esdeath."

Thinking of Esdeath, the little emperor felt a last glimmer of hope. The battle on the ground was still going on. General Esdeath had not yet failed! General Esdeath was still fighting!

The battle is indeed still going on, but it is nearing its end. In terms of "fighting" ability, Ke Ling has demonstrated an ability that is not inferior to Esdeath.

However, due to the different properties of thunder and ice, and because Ke Ling and Esdeath have different resistances, Esdeath is even at a disadvantage during the fight. Ke Ling is not afraid of ice, as he has the ability to control ice, while Esdeath dares not resist thunder.

Esdeath, who is experienced in combat, has obviously never fought this kind of battle before and looks very embarrassed. She likes fighting, but obviously does not like this kind of battle. She cannot win by using "magic", and she has no advantage in speed and strength. She is at a disadvantage in almost all aspects of the battle.

Esdeath couldn't have imagined that Ke Ling could use the imperial tools as crazily as she did, as if he had prepared the energy in advance.

Of course that was not the case. Ke Ling was just fighting hard. [The Wrath of Thunder God·Admiral] was completely under his control and he was using it to his death. It was not the imperial weapon that demanded it from him, but he was madly demanding it from the imperial weapon. The relationship was completely reversed.

"I am the enslaver of the imperial weapon, and you are enslaved by the imperial weapon. How can you compare with me?!"

Ke Ling snapped his fingers, and thunder roared, hitting Esdeath's ice shield.

Esdeath stared at Ke Ling with fighting spirit in her eyes. Her brain was working frantically, and she tried her best to activate [The Demon God Appears·Essence of Demon]. She needed a new ability to turn the tide of the battle.

"Ahhh!"

The ability flashed in her mind, and Esdeath grasped it sharply.

The power of ice spread out violently in an instant, and the cold temperature seemed to freeze everything in the world. In fact, it did freeze everything, even time.

The inspiration at that moment was captured by Esdeath. She froze time, and the whole world seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment.

Without any hesitation, Esdeath manipulated the icicle under her feet to extend and came to Ke Ling's side. She swung the sword without hesitation and stabbed directly into Ke Ling's eyes.

She had already experienced Ke Ling's hardness, so it would be difficult to hurt him. However, no matter how hard the armor was, there would be cracks. Esdeath didn't believe that Ke Ling was really a tortoise shell.

"Pfft!"

In fact, Esdeath made the right bet. Ke Ling's eyes were not that strong. After all, his eyes were artificial eyes that were activated by flesh and blood. Their main feature was a variety of functions. It was unlikely that they were very strong.

Esdeath struck with all her strength, piercing Ke Ling's eyes directly, and even used too much force, knocking Ke Ling directly to the ground. She spread the icy aura on the ice sword and invaded Ke Ling's body, intending to destroy Ke Ling from the inside.

Time started to flow again, and it seemed that it did not last long, about five seconds. Although it is a bit contradictory to use "five seconds" to describe the time of stillness, it is indeed easy to understand, which means that the body feels that about five seconds have passed.

"Wow, what an amazing ability."

However, Ke Ling seemed to be unaffected at all. He had a smile on his face as he looked at Esdeath who was so close to him, as if there was no ice sword stuck in his eyes.

"I don't understand, can you do it again?"

Under Esdeath's wide-eyed gaze, Ke Ling not only did nothing, but also made a request without any politeness.

In fact, during the five seconds that Esdeath froze time, Ke Ling could move freely. He used the overload acceleration of "Sian Westin" and directly broke through the time freeze, but he did not move. Instead, he tried to analyze this strange phenomenon.

Unfortunately, Esdeath only froze time for five seconds. Ke Ling did not understand the mystery but just felt it looked familiar.

"Sian Westin" is to accelerate oneself, to speed up the flow of everything in the body, in order to achieve the goal of being much faster than others.

Esdeath's time freezing slows down everything in the outside world, almost to a standstill. It's like creating an inherent barrier, a large barrier that can perform "time manipulation", similar to Emiya Norikawa's research.

In the "time operation" barrier, time can also be stagnant. The principle of the barrier is to separate a specific space from the "time flow" of the outside world so as to perform operations.

The larger the space, the more difficult it is to operate, the higher the magic consumption, and the greater the interference of "the world's own adjustment" on the space within the barrier.

Emiya Kiritsugu's "Inherent Time Control" is to reduce the scale of the barrier to within his own body, adjust the interference time to within a few seconds, and reduce the interference of "world adjustment" to the minimum, so as to achieve an effect similar to "Sian Westin".

Esdeath's "frozen time" gave Ke Ling the feeling that it was as if a huge ice element was used to form a "time barrier" and then everything in it was stagnant.

Therefore, in this space, as long as you can adjust your own flow rate and speed yourself up, you will not be affected by the freezing time.
