Stella: "One punch... took him out?"
Furillen: "Roar, a very thoughtful technique, gathering the cold into a fist and releasing it in one blast."
Furillen: "From the degree of fragmentation, it looks like that monster called Black Smoke was frozen into dust."
Furillen: "@Ling Qing, your ability isn't just manipulating ice or cold air, is it?"
Ling Qing: "Hm, my ability is a bit special."
The concept of freezing.
Ling Qing didn't doubt for a second that in the future he might be able to freeze space, freeze time, and so on.
Maybe that's the power of conceptual abilities.
Akame: "So strong."
Akame: "If I make a deal, would you come help Night Raid?"
Ling Qing: "Hehe, the more deals the merrier, I'm not picky."
He was now confident enough to accept a transaction request like Akame's.
After eliminating nearly all of the over 100,000 Kabane in this vast region, his level skyrocketed.
【Name】: Ling Qing
【Level】: 28
【Abilities】: "Freeze", "Self", "True Sight", "Conversion", "Protection", "Cognitive Disappearance", "Basic Archery", "Tōjō Style Swordsmanship"
【Description】: You possess the power to make towns disappear from the world.
He leveled up eight levels!
Tsk tsk tsk.
These Kabane were truly better than corpses for experience.
He felt his power was nearing the level to destroy a city, but still lacking a bit.
If he were to face Esdeath.
He still wasn't completely confident in defeating her.
But he wasn't afraid either.
However...
There was something much more important now.
Ling Qing: "We'll talk about the deal later, I have a pressing matter, gotta go."
Stella: "Humph, what kind of pressing matter, isn't it just going to do something shameless?"
Ling Qing's house.
"See?"
"He's a pervert, do you think I would like a pervert like that?"
Sakurajima Mai looked at Kato Megumi with a playful smirk, as if she had gained some kind of confidence.
Seeing Ling Qing act like that.
She could confidently criticize such behavior.
However, Kato Megumi's reaction made her dumbfounded.
"Oh, it's great that Sakurajima Mai-san doesn't like Ling Qing-kun."
"Ah? Why is it great?"
Kato Megumi nodded softly.
"Hmm, because... I like Ling Qing-kun."
"Ha?"
…
After eliminating the Kabane in this area.
The Koutetsujou restarted.
Everyone was safe.
And they bowed in reverence to Ling Qing, their 'god'.
They had seen the miracle.
Naturally, they completely believed he was a god.
As for Ling Qing himself.
He didn't want to be a god.
Because right now, he was preparing to engage in the most joyous act of being human.
"Whoa, you prepared this carriage specifically?"
Ling Qing entered the carriage that Shirayuki Ayame had prepared for him.
All the surrounding carriages had been forcibly cleared out.
Those people didn't complain.
Because they all knew that Ayame was going to serve the god.
This was a truly great thing!
Some people even began educating their children that they should strive to become like Ayame in the future.
The carriage that Shirayuki Ayame had prepared.
Had a well-kept bed on the floor.
And next to it, connected to another carriage, was a large wooden tub, already filled with hot water.
Right now, it was just the two of them.
Shirayuki Ayame was too nervous to look Ling Qing in the eye.
"Lord Ling Qing, please allow me to bathe first."
"Bathing, huh..."
Ling Qing looked at the large wooden tub that could fit two or three people, a smile forming on his lips.
"Alright."
He picked up Shirayuki Ayame by the waist.
"Eh?"
…
"Hiss..."
He held his bandaged head.
Kujira Aoi gasped as he sat up.
His whole body ached.
He only remembered being kicked away before passing out.
That man...
"Right, Ayame! Where's Ayame?"
Worried for Ayame's safety, Kujira Aoi immediately questioned the people around him.
The people around him were startled at first.
But then they gave him disdainful looks.
They had heard that he had offended the god.
Even though he was once a samurai, he didn't receive any respect from anyone.
Ling Qing had unknowingly become the god in everyone's hearts in the Koutetsujou.
His status was even higher than Ayame.
Kujira Aoi didn't know what had happened.
He just felt the atmosphere was off.
He grabbed someone by the collar.
"Tell me, where's Ayame?!"
The person didn't hesitate to meet his gaze.
"Humph, Ayame is serving the god, what do you want?"
"Serving the god?"
Kujira Aoi's eyes narrowed.
"What nonsense is that, I'm going to see Ayame!!!"
"Hey, what is this guy doing, stop him!"
…
PS: This is Shirayuki Ayame and the nameless one!
