11 A snake that purrs?

[POV Kei]

"They finally arrived" was what I said the moment I saw the sky light up and reveal the rest of the army, which was in a precarious situation.

"It seems so, Master Kei" Esdeath cheerfully answered me.

"Yes, at last, they deign to appear after the two offensives in which they lost around 50,000 thousand soldiers, I thought they would be a bit wiser and they would withdraw but it seems that that is not the case."

I guess no matter what I do I won't be able to change some events, because, after the one-sided massacre I gave the army when we came through the portal the first time, I thought somehow they would be more cautious for their next attack or at least that they consider me as a factor to be taken into account, but it seems not to be the case and they decided to attack anyway.

"Yeah but I guess they don't appreciate their lives that much" Esdeath replied with a sweet smile.

"Yes, but I suppose the time has come to end this, this time we will be the ones to take care of it this time."

And you will wonder, why is it that I have not managed to fight since I took charge of the first army?, well this is because the high command ended up, completely scared to death after seeing the destruction that only I and esdeath had managed to do. , because according to them, the people who managed to develop magic could only manifest it to a lesser extent or even could not even use it directly, after the first activation.

So they decided that for the next rounds, they would be the ones to take care of the soldiers, while we rest.

Although we weren't tired in the least, which left them even more terrified, the very thought, that we weren't tired after that, couldn't enter their heads.

"As ordered, master kei" she replied with a neutral voice which, even if she tried, still traces of happiness and emotion escaped her.

"Come on, I know you're excited, I know you like the idea of ​​massacring them completely, don't you?"

I asked after all she knows me as much as I know her and we both know very well that she is excited by the idea of ​​destroying them completely.

'AHH after all I don't have to hide it from my dear husband'

"Yes, master kei, after all, what we are going to massacre are my master's enemies, so I must destroy them completely and make them lose hope and despair, for having tried to attack my dear husband. !!!" Esdeath replied as she looked me straight in the eye with a crazy look as her breathing became heavier and her eyes seemed to completely lose themselves in an obsession and uncontrolled love.

"Yes, I agree with you esdeath but don't overdo it and don't do anything too crazy" I replied to esdeath with a small laugh and a look full of affection, as I turned to her and kissed her on the lips for a few seconds, after all, I had to make her get distracted by something else because I'm sure she couldn't have calmed down on her own.

"So we better finish this, as soon as possible."

"As ordered, master kei" Esdeath replied after she snapped out of her daze and continued walking beside me with a red face.

but contrary to everything others think, she was not ashamed that I kissed her in public, if not that she was ashamed that I took her off guard, and that she was left in that daze for a few moments, so with that idea in mind, she decided that she would take revenge in some way at another time, although most likely she would forget it, because although she would not say it out loud she knew that she liked it, that he would show that dominant side, to show everyone that she was his property.

"Ciel, can you warn the higher-ups that we will take care of them."

"Sure darling ~~~"

So with that said I kept walking with esdeath by my side while everyone around us did not dare to get closer, well in part it is because right now I am letting out my aura which involuntarily makes them fear or respect me depending on the person, so without paying too much attention to them, I finished leaving the makeshift camp, that had been created in the short time we have been here and without further ado, the fun began.

"Esdeath will you do me the honors?"

"With pleasure, master kei," Esdeath replied with a sweet smile, only for moments later for her to look towards the soldiers, who were running towards our position frantically, hoping that they had taken us by surprise, given that they believe that was the reason. for which they weren't attacked yet, so they were trying to get there as fast as possible in hopes of doing as much damage as possible.

But at that moment I could see how some of the soldiers who caught sight of me and esdeath stood completely in their places while those who were riding the horse were thrown to the ground while the horses began to run in the opposite direction.

But if I concentrated enough, on the faces of the soldiers who stayed in their places I could see how they had a horrified look, while others had pale faces with tears in their eyes, it seemed that they wanted to run away but they were completely paralyzed on the spot

"Well I suppose that the rumors of what I did, did have some effect with those who could recognize me from afar, but I suppose that the others weren't lucky enough," I muttered under my breath to myself.

But while Kei was thinking about the reason why some of the soldiers had that horrified look, Esdeath did not wait for anything and walked a little ahead of him, while a big smile adorned her face.

"You all will have the happiness, that I am the one who ends your despicable lives, besides that, your sins against my master and dear husband will be paid with your death." shouted esdeath in a firm voice that was heard all over the place.

(which was possible only with a little mana directly applied to her throat, so that she could amplify her voice without the need for any electronics, although this is something that only esdeath can do by having mana as pure as kei for being one of his wives.)

And without further ado, with that said esdeath activated her magic, and immediately the floor below her began to freeze so that moments later esdeath will create a giant snake, that was surrounding me and esdeath, while it laid its head on the ground right next to one side of esdeath, stroked its head as if it were a dog, esdeath saw the reaction of the snake, which was purring like some kind of cat, which left me with a blank look.

"Did that snake just purr?" kei asked esdeath as he comically pointed at the snake.

"Yes, master kei, I still don't know what I should call her, since it's the first time I've looked at her, but somehow I feel a connection with her" Esdeath replied as she continued stroking the snake.

"Well, I guess somehow this will be tied to you, so don't worry about it, we'll name it later" kei responded in the best way he could as he kept trying to figure out how a snake had just purred.

And yes, all this conversation was taking place while all the soldiers began to come out of their stupor, so that they immediately began to flee in terror while those who were already horrified previously, completely lost hope of life and fell from knees while their eyes no longer had any gleam.

"Hmm esdeath looks like they are escaping." I said teasingly at the fact that she was so excited, only to have her so focused on the snake that purrs.

"Oh, right it seems like it's time for us to finish this, after all, it's almost time for breakfast." Esdeath said as she returned to her original position while I approached her to give her some help.

"I'm going to lock them up, to make your job easier, so we can get back faster" I said nonchalantly, as countless giant stones rose behind me, and I threw them in the direction the army was fleeing.

one by one, each stone fell one next to the other, thus making a great wall, which they could not pass, although those who were on the edges of the wall would manage to escape, there would only be a few because the wall was too long.

After all, I want my existence to be known, to have a greater impact, and what better way than to slaughter an army twice, while the survivors are completely traumatized, I thought as a small smile formed on my face.

So just when I finished making the wall, that would stop them for a few minutes which would be more than enough for esdeath to finish.

"Ah .... by the way, esdeath if you see someone with red armor does not kill him, just remove an arm and a leg and let someone else help him to retreat" I told esdeath, after all, he appeared for a short time but still had more of an importance in the plot.

"As ordered, master kei, but with the others, I can do whatever I want right?" she asked expectantly, while the snake somehow had the same look as esdeath, and seemed to understand what we were talking about.

"Yes, it's okay you can do whatever you want with the others."

"Thank you very much master kei, so with your permission, I will start with the task you entrusted to me" she said excitedly.

just so that immediately, she raised her hand and fired two ice spears which I followed with my gaze, moments later they hit someone with red armor and with a cape of the same color, immediately at the moment of their impact they would take away the left arm and leg to the man, and at the same time, they sutured the wounds from the cold of the spears.

"That is being very effective. It seems that she does not lose her touch as a maid or as a murderer, although it still amazes me how good her eyesight is and the precision with which she fired those spears."

"Now that master Kei's task is complete, I can do whatever I want with all of you" Esdeath said grimly, and although they weren't listening, now that she wasn't putting mana down her throats to all the Imperial soldiers, a shiver ran down their spine.

So she leaned a little closer to the snake next to her and whispered under her breath.

"It's time for the hunt Shiro, go and kill them all," Esdeath muttered under her breath.

For which the purring serpent, just named, sped towards the soldiers, and in just seconds a group of them was eaten alive by it, and immediately those around it were completely frozen.

'Well, that seems like a very dangerous passive ability.'

But what happened next surprised me even more, just moments after having finished swallowing those people, the snake opened its mouth and immediately a white breath came out of it which ended up freezing the other soldiers that still were left, she kept moving making all the soldiers who came near or for some reason tried to fight ended up as a statue of ice which immediately fell apart.

And in that way, the entire army was annihilated in less than 30 minutes.
