Although he still possesses a certain degree of combat capability, he is definitely no match for Esdeath who has recovered. It would be better to say that Shirou Emiya did not actually cause any damage to Esdeath at that time. It was just a little bit, and she could have been killed by the sword. After listening to Shirou Emiya's explanation, everyone's eyes turned to Tatsumi who was drinking sip after sip of the soup cooked by Shirou Emiya. After all, the only one present who is most familiar with being haunted by evil spirits is Tatsumi. He seemed to have completely merged with the evil spirit, and even when he ate, he was fed by his dragon-like head. You can see the beast's lips exuding the scent of a living being. "If you don't show any murderous intent or hostility towards Esdeath, you can definitely escape by turning invisible." Tatsumi was thinking, the invisibility ability of the demon possessed was extremely strong, even Esdeath could hardly detect its breath. It's just difficult to detect, not completely undetectable. If you show hostility or murderous intent towards her, she will lock on you in an instant.

Even if he didn't reveal these intentions to Esdeath and just stayed where he was, it wouldn't take long for Esdeath to find him. If you make a sound while moving, you will be courting death. However, Esdeath did not know that the haunted demon had the ability to become invisible. With the help of invisibility, Shirou Emiya was indeed able to escape by being haunted by the evil spirits. At this moment, Shirou Emiya has not gained the full trust of the Night Raid people. Until now, Najenda still suspects that Shirou Emiya is a more advanced artificial human created by Dr. Fashion. Or there is another possibility, that Shirou Emiya is indeed not dead, but has become a member of the Empire under the endless brainwashing of Dr. Fashion's drugs. The Revolutionary Army is now in a do-or-die moment. Najenda doesn't dare to gamble whether Shirou Emiya is now a member of the Empire. Even though Shirou Emiya now possessed the power to suppress everyone in the Night Raid without harming them, Najenda did not choose to believe him. Instead of taking Shirou Emiya to the night raid base they had newly established after that incident, they chose to take him to the Revolutionary Army's hidden camp several kilometers away. That gravity field is so powerful that, except for the one who can continuously evolve the genuine [Devil's Haunting] on Tatsumi, no one else can defeat Shirou Emiya under such continuously increasing gravity. You have to know that Yashahime's ability to control gravity can attract space debris outside the atmosphere to fall rapidly on the enemy, and the scale of destruction can reach a national level. However, the degree of gravity controlled by Shirou Emiya is naturally incomparable to that of Yashahime. Whether it is the range or the degree of gravity suppression, it is far lower than Yashahime, but it is still tricky. "Really? There's no logical loophole." Najeshitan touched her chin, not knowing what she was thinking. "Let's not talk about that for now, Tatsumi, why were you frozen when you were retreating at that time!?" Although Tatsumi's body became slightly larger due to the fusion with the armor, Leone still jumped directly beside him and clamped Tatsumi's neck tightly with his armpits. Main, who was drinking soup quietly at the side, looked at Tatsumi angrily. On the other side, Chelsea, who was drinking food made by Shirou Emiya for the first time, also put down her bowl and chopsticks, and stared at Tatsumi who was being clamped by Leone with a smile in her eyes. Labok looked at Najeshitan beside him, then pretended that he saw nothing and whistled at the bright moonlight.

Even though Tatsumi was no longer able to transform into his original human form, the Night Raid group treated him no differently, just like they did when they first met him. "Pain! Pain! Pain!" Tatsumi said this out of habit. He has now completely merged with the armor, and this kind of force cannot possibly cause Tatsumi to feel pain. "I'm not particularly sure. Even though I've evolved and can move within the time that Esdeath has frozen, I can't directly resist her power of freezing at close range." Tatsumi was also very confused. The power of the evolved Akuma was witnessed by everyone in Night Raid. It was impossible for him to be frozen while wearing Akuma with just that kind of ice. "At that time, I remember that when Esdeath stretched out her hand to freeze you, she seemed to whisper something in your ear?" As the only shooter in the night raid, Mine's eyesight is not as good as Shirou Emiya's, but it is definitely not bad. Otherwise, she would not be able to carry out shooting missions at long distances. Tatsumi scratched his dragon-like head and tried hard to recall the scene. After all, the freezing began the moment Esdeath placed her hand in front of her. "Since I can freeze [time], guess whether I can freeze your [evolution]." Chapter 358: Strong! Invincible! The Strongest! "That should be the last sentence Esdeath said to me before I was frozen." Tatsumi, who has become integrated with the armor, drank the soup cooked by Emiya Shirou in big gulps. He has been frozen in the ice for four days and urgently needs a large amount of food to replenish himself, so he is eating frantically. Of course, the injuries caused by being frozen also recovered quickly. The armor brought Tatsumi not only improved physical fitness and defense, but now he was like a real dangerous species, possessing extremely strong recovery ability. However, maintaining this recovery ability naturally requires a lot of food intake. Without sufficient energy, it is impossible to provide such recovery ability. “I can only say that it is a blessing.” Chi Tong also spoke lightly after drinking a large bowl of soup. "why?" Tatsumi asked with some confusion. "Esdeath didn't kill you then. She probably intended to use you as a trap to lure us into rescuing you, and then she planned to catch us all in a night raid." "But I didn't expect that the revolutionary army would launch an attack at that moment. Under the emperor's order, Esdeath had no choice but to abandon the next plan and quickly organize the army to rush to the front line to fight, so I just put you in prison." Najeshitan looked at the bright moon above her head and slowly answered Tatsumi's question. Although he has grown a lot, he is not as good as Akame and Najensita who have experienced so much in thinking about many things. It can be said that Akame was the first person to conclude that this was a trap when she heard that Tatsumi was not dead. With Esdeath's power, even Tatsumi, who has evolved to this level, would not be able to resist it. Just from the fact that he was able to be frozen, it can be seen that there is still a huge gap in strength between them. Rather, since the battle with Shirou Emiya, Esdeath has been training madly, and it is unknown whether she has gained new power or developed a deeper level of power.

To use Esdeath's words, my current self can beat my past self with one hand. The empire's other strongest general, General Bud, also clearly admitted that he was no match for Esdeath. Perhaps there was some doubt about who was stronger between the two before. Without the two fighting, Esdeath was not sure whether she could defeat General Bud. But after Esdeath's strength increased greatly, this doubt completely disappeared. She could feel that the threat from General Budd was greatly reduced. She asked the emperor to let Bud use a thunder strike on her. This was not a fight, but Esdeath just wanted to test her own strength. Bud would naturally agree to this reasonable request under the emperor's instruction. First of all, it was impossible for him to defeat this terrifying woman by summoning thunder himself. Secondly, he could also feel the qualitative change coming from Esdeath, and the intense sense of threat was always surrounding him. In front of almost all the high-ranking officials of the empire, no, perhaps the entire empire, the lightning that fell from the sky was completely frozen. At this moment, without fighting, everyone understood that there was only one strongest person left in the empire, and that was Esdeath. That was thunder, the most terrifying thing, but it was frozen so easily. What's more, the Thunder being frozen is something unreasonable and unimaginable. But Esdeath did it. "Even freezing [Evolution], can Esdeath do this?" Najeshita stared at the campfire in front of her, her eyes almost wrinkled together. She couldn't imagine any strategy to fight against Esdeath. According to Najeshita's original calculations, if Esdeath was dealt with by using more than 10 elite soldiers and more than imperial weapon users including Akame, there was a chance that she could be killed. But now it is impossible to calculate how many elite soldiers or how many imperial weapon users are needed to have a successful chance of killing Esdeath. Just as those Emiya androids said, numbers now have no meaning in front of Esdeath. Even an army of hundreds of thousands could only make Esdeath slightly tired. When the other members of the night raid went to deal with Tatsumi who was ambushed by Sheila and dragged into the palace, Tatsumi, Brand, Susanoo, and Leone teamed up to deal with Esdeath, but they were instantly pierced by the ice cones that burst out of their bodies. As a humanoid imperial weapon, Susanoo naturally does not need much recovery ability and he recovered in just a moment. Leone's imperial weapon, the "Lion King", can stop bleeding and reattach itself even if Leone's hands and feet are cut off or his eyes are blinded. The two of them could be said to have recovered the fastest, but Tatsumi and Brand were not so lucky. Being possessed by evil spirits could defend against external attacks, but they could not defend against attacks that exploded directly from within the body. During the retreat, when Susanoo activated the state of [Soul of Evil Appearance], Brand was ready to sacrifice himself so that the other members of the night raid could evacuate safely. But he didn't know that during that stagnant time, Brand couldn't delay even for a second. If Tatsumi had not evolved to the point where he could move in ice at the critical moment and kicked Brand and Susanoo towards the place where the Night Raid group retreated, Brand would have died at the hands of Esdeath. Main had been seriously injured in a head-on confrontation with General Bud and wanted to stay with Tatsumi but was forcibly dragged away by Akame. And Tatsumi also completed his final evolution in the battle with Esdeath, with his unparalleled will to protect his companions. But she still couldn't pose any threat to Esdeath. After a brief fight, she froze Tatsumi directly.

He looked coldly at the retreating Night Raid troops. If it weren't for Chelsea, who was still alive at the time and turned into a crow to observe the movements inside the palace, and if it weren't for the irreversible injuries caused by wearing the projection of [The Haunting], Chelsea would have handed [The Haunting] to Lubbock. I'm afraid they will be in great danger and find it difficult to escape. You know, in the palace, there are not only Esdeath and General Bud, but also the Emiya Legion. It can be said that the night attack almost resulted in the annihilation of all members in the palace. "Let me deal with her." Looking at the anxious Najeshita, Shirou Emiya spoke slowly. He had a premonition that this time he would truly have a life-and-death battle with Esdeath. Chapter 359: The Calm Before the Storm “Squeak——!” Emiya Shirou rubbed his eyes and sat up sleepily on the bed. "Head hurts!" For some reason, my head began to ache from the first day I arrived at the empire. This had never happened before. Shirou Emiya shook his head and pulled open the curtains with a little discomfort. At this time, the streets outside the window were already crowded with people, and the imperial guards had already begun patrolling the streets. Under the changes made by those artificial humans, the imperial capital has undergone slight changes to a certain extent. Although such improvement can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, it is much better than adding fuel to the fire as before. Unless necessary, the Emiya androids did not kill the civilians, but simply took them back to the Imperial Guard for criticism and education. Then they put it back instead of putting it in jail as material for a doctorate or as a plaything for the nobles. Under the guidance of Shirou Emiya, the Emiya android not only trained projection magic with Shirou Emiya in his spare time, but also gave some of the excess food to the civilians in the alleys. They did not show up, but simply placed the ingredients in their homes in a way that the civilians could not see. If it was thrown directly into the alley, it would probably cause a fight and might even result in loss of life. The nobles' favorite thing to do was to throw some of their leftover food into the alleys and watch the common people fighting to the death. It’s not that the residents living in the alleys don’t go to work, but the intensity of the work is too great, and even if they work a full day, it is still not enough to buy a pancake from the vendors. Under such circumstances, these people have no way to survive. The reason why there was no riot was because of the powerful suppression brought about by the terrifying mobility of the Emiya androids. The gap in strength has made them feel desperate. They can also go crazy. There was once an incident in the empire where a group of hundreds of people rushed out to kill a noble who had been oppressing them because they could no longer tolerate the situation. If it had happened before, regardless of whether the noble could be killed, it would have caused great trouble to the Imperial Guard.

At least it would be difficult for the Imperial Guard to stop their planned actions, and it would take time to arrive. It was impossible for them to organize a meaningless action, as the civilians knew the guards' routes very well. But those hundreds of people were all slaughtered by the Emiya androids before they even saw the noble.
