"Roar——!"
In the eyes of Cerydra and the Golden Descendants, the dragon, which was larger than a mountain, had clearly just broken free from its restraints and let out an excited roar.
But a second later, the dragon began to struggle unusually. Even the stupidest person could see that the dragon's expression was one of great pain.
"Your Highness Caesar, is this Lord Hysilens's doing?"
"Of course, only the Daughter of the Sea has such ability!"
Esdeath looked at Cerydra. The young girl understood that this was the work of the missing Daughter of the Sea, so she immediately intended to ask for her opinion.
"Then should we take this opportunity to attack? Looking at this dragon, now is definitely the best time..."
Because of the pain, it could not focus its mind and could only roll around between the mountains, even causing the surrounding snow-capped mountains to almost turn into dry land.
"No, we just need to wait; leave the rest to the Daughter of the Sea!"
Cerydra's tone was filled with indescribable confidence. Esdeath also understood why Her Majesty the Empress would do this; after all, the Daughter of the Sea's strength was evident for all to see.
Since coming into contact with Hysilens, Esdeath felt as if she had never seen any shortcomings in her...
Beautiful, sweet-voiced, and with off-the-charts combat power!
Anyone would definitely cherish such a subordinate...
And in Esdeath's mind, Hysilens's figure was gradually overlapping with her own...
"When will I be able to become someone like that?"
Although Esdeath could already be called the second most powerful general in the Northern Country, she was still very young and had room to grow in the future.
And Hysilens was clearly a clear target to pursue!
Esdeath hoped that in the future, she too could become a loyal, excellent, and powerful warrior like Lord Hysilens!
Dedicating everything to Her Majesty Empress Cerydra!
"It is said that the Northern Country is not very suitable for people to live in, after all, this land is covered in wind and snow all year round, and wanting to become a powerful nation is even more difficult."
"But now, this problem seems to have been partially solved?"
Looking at the dragon rolling in the mountains, Cerydra was thoughtful.
This dragon had only rolled around in the mountains a few times, yet it made countless snow-capped mountains disappear and even raised the temperature of the Northern Country by dozens of degrees, reaching the optimal comfortable temperature for human bodies.
"Sigh! What a pity!"
If she could take this dragon as a subordinate, the Northern Country's biggest problem, the cold climate, could be solved.
When the environment improved, they could engage in Farming, build houses, and even allow the people of the Northern Country to live a good life...
By then, wouldn't becoming a world power be just around the corner?
But unfortunately, Cerydra did not have the ability to persuade the other party, so she could only painfully kill it!
However, before killing this dragon, she should let it roll around on the snow a bit more to let the temperature rise a little more...
On the other side, Cerydra, who was constantly summoning the ocean, also picked up her sharp dual swords, preparing to charge headlong in one direction.
The dragon's body surface had hard rocks and terrifying magma, causing most attacks to have no effect.
But having strong defenses on the body surface did not mean it had the same internally... Powerful existences often begin to collapse from within!
Hysilens only needed to pierce through the dragon's brain and let her seawater cover everything to completely end this crusade.
"Ding——!"
As the Ocean Demigod completely revealed her power, the dragon also stopped struggling at this moment, falling to the ground, unconscious...
"We have won!"
—
"Heh heh! Although I didn't get a living one, a dead one is not bad either~"
With a body like a mountain blocking her eyes, Cerydra's eyes showed no pity, but rather ninety percent excitement and ten percent regret.
In the worldview of akame ga kill, the First Emperor from a thousand years ago had hunted many Super Danger Beasts, using these Super Danger Beasts as raw materials, along with rare metals, to create weapons called Teigu.
And now, Cerydra had also obtained a Super Danger Beast, and one so large in size; she should be able to make quite a few interesting new weapons, right?
As for those technical issues... Heh!
Did Cerydra need those things from the Empire?
If she only created new Teigu, Cerydra would at most be called the "Second First Emperor" in the history of akame ga kill, which was not what Cerydra wanted.
She wanted to be the "First Empress Cerydra"!
Just using technology to create new weapons would inevitably take a lot of time. Although Cerydra did not have any time limits in this world, she should leave as soon as possible if she could.
Therefore, regarding this dragon's corpse, Cerydra intended to directly use the Authority of Law to perform an "Equivalent Exchange," which would not only save time but also increase conversion efficiency.
Cerydra had also studied things like Teigu a little bit.
That was Najenda's pumpkin cannon!
Although the power was indeed quite good, she always felt something was missing... The power of the pumpkin cannon did not seem as great as she had imagined?
Cerydra also ordered people to use some rare metals and Danger Beast to forge weapons, even consuming quite a bit of her Golden Blood for this.
Soon, Cerydra discovered a problem.
When using the Danger Beast itself as a material to forge weapons, the Danger Beast's corpse would constantly deteriorate, causing the created weapons to lack a certain "spirituality."
To solve this problem, Cerydra had thought of many methods, wondering how to improve efficiency so that the deterioration phenomenon would not occur during the weapon forging process.
And the final answer was, none of them!
Artificial means simply could not prevent the birth of the deterioration phenomenon; the only thing that could achieve it was non-human means...
Authority of Law, Equivalent Exchange!
So Cerydra immediately came to the dragon's corpse and placed her hand on its body.
This guy just died, she had to act while it was still hot!
Otherwise, if she waited until the corpse cooled down, the effect of the converted weapon would be greatly discounted!
"With so many dragon scales, and dragon flesh and blood, I should be able to form a powerful 'Dragon Scale Warrior' unit, right?"
Scales made into armor, claws and teeth made into weapons... utilize everything that can be utilized, and absolutely do not waste a single bit!
However, just as Cerydra was about to use the Authority of Law, she sensed the aura of life from the already dead dragon...
This sudden change startled Cerydra, causing her to immediately take a big step back. Could it be that this dragon intended to fake its death, allowing them to approach before counterattacking?
"Everyone retreat, we... wait!"
Cerydra, who intended to reorganize the army, realized something was wrong just as she shouted, because she suddenly discovered...
The dragon's death was not fake, and that abnormal aura of life was very weak; it seemed to belong to someone else?
And after tracing the source, Cerydra's expression gradually became dazed, and then an unimaginable excitement appeared...
"This is really... a huge profit!"
