Naturally no one answered Noel's question, so the hall fell into a brief silence.

At the same time, whether it was Suzuka or Ernest, looking at the marks made by Noel in the hall, a word popped up in their minds:

monster!

Is that kind of slash really possible for humans? !

After killing the pervert Ji, Noel's unhappiness was relieved, and he smiled refreshedly:

"Sorry, it seemed like I went a little too far."

"By the way, Ernest, what did you just say?"

Being suddenly named by Noel made Ernest tremble unconsciously. That knife not only killed Thorn, but also cut a brand of fear in his heart that could not be dissipated for a long time.

Not even caring that Noel called him by his first name, Ernest wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile:

"Hahahaha, I mean, it was a great battle, but let's stop there for now."

"If the noise is too big, I will be in some trouble."

Although the little emperor obeyed his words, he was not completely able to control the sky in this palace.

General Bude, another [strongest] in the empire, is also the most experienced and stable general. His family has served the empire for generations, and he is also deeply trusted by the young emperor.

Fortunately, that guy strictly abides by the family motto of "Generals cannot interfere in politics" and is an out-and-out stubborn old man, otherwise he might not be able to do whatever he wants like now.

This is one aspect.

On the other hand, the [Four Rakshasa Ghosts] are the most elite killers under him. It would be okay if they only lose one or two, but if they are all wiped out here, even he will have some difficulty.

Although it's about the same now.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it is already impossible to kill Noel here.

However, although the strength that Noel showed now was terrifying, it only strengthened Ernest's determination to kill him. It would be better to say that it was precisely because of this that he really wanted to kill Noel.

Not to avenge his so-called subordinates and relatives or anything else, but for himself.

the reason is simple--

Noel was not under his control.

Noel's strength is both fearful and exciting. If possible, he would like to bring him under Noel's command, even if he loses a few more so-called relatives.

But it is a pity that Noel has become Esdeath's man, and it is difficult to take away what Esdeath has, and he has no intention of completely falling out with Esdeath.

Since it can't be taken away, it can only be destroyed.

Bude is strong enough, but this old stubborn man is trapped in a cocoon. He is just troublesome sometimes and not a threat;

Esdeath is strong enough, but he understands her and can control and even exploit her to some extent, and is also not a threat;

But Noel...

He would never allow such an uncontrolled existence that could threaten his life!

Ernest was thinking this in his mind. Suddenly, he found Noel looking at him with a half-smile. His heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and strangely said:

"Why do you look at me like this? Is there something strange on my face?"

"No, I just looked at your expression just now and thought you also wanted to compete with me."

Noel said with interest.

Ernest immediately became ashamed, rubbed his big belly comically, and said with a smile:

"Ah hahaha, your Excellency is really good at joking. My pot-bellied figure cannot bear the torment."

"I think you're the kind of person who exercises regularly."

Noel smiled pointedly.

This did surprise him. In his perception, Ernest's strength was not much different from that of the man (thorn) he killed just now.

Of course, this level of strength can only be regarded as the icing on the cake in his opinion. After all, if it really comes to the point where Onest himself needs to play in person, it can only mean that the empire has collapsed.

By then, what's the use of this strength?

It's just that he can struggle for a while longer, and at most one or two people can support him.

So Noel didn't care, just shrugged and said:

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

Ernest breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Due to his own miscalculation, he was in such a situation. It can be said that he was at his weakest now. With Noel's strength, if he suddenly changed his attitude and wanted to kill him, he would have no choice at all.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and others are treated as slaves and others as fish and meat. This is the situation.

Oh, what a humiliation.

Ernest still had a smile on his face, suppressing the rest of his thoughts in his heart and writing them down silently.

After that, he will definitely return the favor a thousand times and torture Noel to death!

Suzuka, one of the remaining four ghosts, also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if the 'sparring' continued, she would have to do her best to choose a more decent way to die for herself.

Facing the monster in front of her, she saw no possibility of victory.

The 'friendly exchange' ends here, and the next step is to return to the topic. According to Esdeath's letter, let Ernest lead Noel to the treasure trove to select a suitable Imperial Equipment.

While walking on the road, Noel spoke to Suzuka again and asked about the move similar to [Return of Life]. Suzuka naturally cooperated actively and told everything she knew.

After all, everyone has seen how Ji died, and it is a lesson learned from the past, not to mention that it is not a particularly important secret.

The four Rakshasa ghosts were all born in the Imperial Fist Temple. While receiving rigorous training from an early age, they also had to drink secret medicine made from a special dangerous species that lives in the mountains behind the temple - the water monster Kela - in order to obtain The ability to freely control the body.

Noel lost interest when he heard this. He didn't want to drink some weird secret medicine.

However, Noel is also more interested in the body manipulation moves they use. These moves can be used as a reference for future moves after learning [Life Return].

But there was no end to this, so Noel proposed to discuss it with her later. Upon hearing this, Ernest's face darkened again.

[The Four Rakshasa Ghosts] are not only his personal executioners, but also his personal bodyguards. If Noel wants to find Suzuka, isn't that just like coming to him?

Go away!

Suzuka did not resist this, and was even happy to accept it.

In fact, Noel's performance just now made her fearful, and at the same time, it also gave rise to a different kind of emotion in her heart——

That is admiration.

Although she had previously denied her perversion, that was a lie.

Among the "Four Ghosts of Rakshasa", the girl Ma Tou who died first is the most normal among them, and she is only normal most of the time.

In fact, she is an out-and-out masochist. The person she originally admired most was Esdeath. Esdeath's power and excellent interrogation methods made her very obsessed with and admired her.

In the previous battle, the pressure and fear that Noel brought to her also made her feel a little pleasure.

Noel is now Esdeath's subordinate. If she can come into contact with both of them at the same time, it will be double happiness.

What kind of paradise is this!

...If Noel knew what Suzuka was thinking at this time, he would never want to come to her again.
