Esdeath!

The punch stopped when it was a few cm away from her face, but Esdeath didn't see it as she had already lost her unconscious. She fell on the man, who held her body and without looking at her, he placed her on the ground full of Ice and looked at the sky.

"Increase strength and leave this world! They are waiting for me." The man muttered with no expression on his face as he sat down with his hand on the Ice.

Soon, the ice in the area was absorbed by the man and a small house made up of Ice appeared around him.

"Ciel! Ciel!" Izumi muttered as he looked down, but he didn't get any response. He also summoned the device he had received by the constellations, but he didn't get any response from this too.

"Half of my soul is destroyed and because of the million souls I had in my body, I didn't lose any memories."

"The Primordial Bloodline? What a joke! My suspicions were correct after all. It's good that I made an Inner World, and even though I can't contact anyone, I know that they are safe as Ciel had already started to lock the world and slow the time as much as she could."

"But what about my world, If the time is stopped in the place, it's good, but if it doesn't, then everyone would panic, and she would be worried about me."

Izumi muttered with no expression on his face and his eyes hollow.

"Damned bastards! Sooner or later, I will fucking kill you and erase you from existence! It's good that this world has Ki and Mana or it would be difficult for me. But it would be too slow if I train."

"The only to speed us is to devour the Danger Beasts in the world and reach the pinnacle of the world. Their body to strengthen the body and their soul to heal my soul."

Izumi muttered as looked at Esdeath who was unconscious, and he put his hand on the mark on her chest. He sensed the Teigu and moments later, he pulled his hand and said, "These Teigu, they are good weapons, if they can be upgraded and changed to growth-like objects."

"It will take thousands of years as the spirit inside the Teigus seems to absorb a part of the soul of the user and when they have evolved, the Beasts would take over the host and come back."

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore as I plan on killing all the Beasts in the world and absorbing them, even spirits that are inside a few Teigus."

Muttering, Izumi raised his hand and a few Icicles appeared on his hand and soon they changed to sculptures of a few women. For the first time since Izumi woke up, light appeared in his hollow eyes and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Fifteen minutes later, Esdeath opened her eyes and her expression changed. She went on guard as she stood up in her place and she looked at Izumi, who sat on the ground.

Looking at him for a moment, she appeared in front of him and kneeling on the ice floor, she said, "I lost, I am yours now."

Hearing this, Izumi looked at her with no expression on his face and knowing her creed, he nodded and said, "Let's go back to Empire, I need information about all the Danger Beasts in the world and their locations."

Esdeath looked at him for a moment and she nodded. Looking around, she controlled the Ice and changed it to a Ship with a seat and Izumi sat on it. Controlling it, she made the ship fly in the direction of Empire while standing in front and looking down with a mad expression on her face.

As for Izumi, he didn't say anything and closed his eyes.

'If any of the two are stronger, I will break down.'

'I could just absorb the energy in the environment, but my body will break because of excess Ki, as I am suppressing the injuries and pain with mana and blocking everything. Even smiling and expressing emotions for a moment makes me lose my mind considering how intense they are.'

"Esdeath," Izumi called without looking at her and Esdeath looked at him.

"Outside the Empire, descend! I will look around."

Esdeath nodded as she heard this and didn't say much. With her loss, she had lost her right and now she would listen to him because he let her live instead of killing him.

"The last technique you used, was an unfinished technique."

"Yes,"

"Then why did you use it?"

"I wanted to hit you at least once and make you attack me."

"That was a stupid move."

"It wasn't for me."

"Mmm, I understand." Izumi muttered as he looked at her and then he continued, "Difference between Absolute Freezing and relative freezing, you need to learn about them to complete your move."

Izumi said and Esdeath's expression changed as she heard this.

"Absolute Freezing and Relative Freezing?" She muttered and then moments later, she asked, "Absolute Rest and Relative Rest?"

Izumi nodded as he heard this and said, "We are moving but in respect to you, I am not. When you tried to freeze, you just tried to make me stop, not the forces on me. If it was others, you would have been successful but for me who has good control over my body, I easily destroyed your technique by using the forces on me."

"Though you aren't even strong enough to freeze me, it's a different matter," Izumi said and Esdeath looked at him for a moment and then she started to think of his words.

A bird was passing by, and Izumi said, "Look,"

As he said this, the bird stopped in its place and then it started to move. Esdeath's eyes widened as she saw this, and she heard, "Did the bird stop moving or did we stop moving? Or were we moving at the same speed, so it looked like it was on rest?"

"This is the first thing I will teach. The second would be teaching you stopping a moment and a specific area. Suppose a man is moving towards with high speed. Before he could hit you, you froze the flow of blood in his brain, or you froze his front while his back remained in motion."

"What will happen?"

"He will die a moment later," Esdeath said as she heard this and hearing her answer, Izumi looked at her for a moment and then he nodded.
