Don't let Esdeath's relaxed appearance fool you; in truth, she had never truly lowered her guard.
Someone capable of beating their SS-rank super dangerous beast mount senseless, could they be a simple character? Would they be easily frozen by her ice?
Indeed, the ice encasing Uchiha Madara cracked with a crackle, crackle and finally exploded with a boom. Uchiha Madara lightly jumped down from it, shaking off the ice shards from his body, his tone displeased:
"You freeze someone immediately upon meeting them without even a greeting? What kind of behavior is this?"
After shaking off the ice shards, Uchiha Madara stood his ground, looking at Esdeath with a serene and composed demeanor, and struck up a conversation:
"I know you, Esdeath, the Empire's strongest master. This place is near the Northern Barbarians. I heard you led troops to conquer them in the '743' campaign, so your presence here isn't surprising. But what's the meaning of attacking me without a word?"
Truth be told, Esdeath had a good first impression of Uchiha Madara, with his composed demeanor and cool temperament. She pointed at the Fire Dragon nearby and said to Uchiha Madara:
"That Fire Dragon is my pet mount. As the saying goes, 'when beating a dog, you must look at its owner.' Are you, a fellow from who knows where, truly so devoid of manners?"
Uchiha Madara frowned and turned to look.
Because Uchiha Madara and the Fire Dragon had just been frozen together. Now that Uchiha Madara had broken free from the ice, the Fire Dragon struggled out with great difficulty through a gap in the ice.
However, seeing the Fire Dragon sneezing and sniffling amidst a pile of shattered ice, it seemed to have caught a cold.
It was no surprise; first being brutally beaten by Uchiha Madara, and then frozen by Esdeath, the Fire Dragon would naturally catch a cold.
Uchiha Madara also happened to notice the fine steel collar tied around the Fire Dragon's neck. Esdeath's name was clearly inscribed on the collar! (Don't ask me how Uchiha Madara recognized the writing of this world!)
He suddenly understood; it turned out he truly had caused a misunderstanding!
Turning around, he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. Uchiha Madara fully embraced the spirit of being thick-skinned:
"Oh, so someone had already claimed it. I didn't notice."
Uchiha Madara's tone was incredibly calm, so calm that it surprised Esdeath.
Previously, whenever she encountered similar situations, everyone treated her with utmost trepidation. Even the ministers who cooperated with her harbored hidden fears. She had never met someone so calm, calm to the point of... as if it were perfectly natural!
Esdeath understood what this "perfectly natural" demeanor implied. It meant absolute self-confidence and absolute dominance. Wrong was wrong, right was right. "Whether I'm wrong or right, what can you do about it?"
This kind of personality... greatly appealed to Esdeath!
For some reason, Esdeath suddenly felt a rare, burning stir in her heart.
Quickly suppressing that faint stir deep within her heart, Esdeath lowered her head. What surged up instead was a vibrant will to battle. She said in a low voice:
"'Didn't notice'? How interesting! It's my first time encountering someone who speaks to me like that. 'Didn't notice' and that's it?! Shouldn't you... be kneeling before me, begging for my forgiveness?!"
Uchiha Madara was stunned. Someone actually wanted him to kneel before her and beg for her forgiveness, and a woman at that!?
Uchiha Madara had never encountered a situation like this before. Since the person opposite him was also a super sadist, as he understood, a faint stir of excitement secretly arose in Uchiha Madara's heart. This feeling was hard to describe; it was as if he was being teased, and also as if he was being challenged.
Uchiha Madara faintly smiled:
"It's always been others kneeling to me; I've never had to ask to kneel to anyone. Regardless, it's true I didn't notice, and it's true I was reckless. What can you do?"
"What can I do? What can I do?"
Esdeath suddenly looked up, a terrifyingly sadistic smile gracing her beautiful face.
"Of course, I'll make you my slave!"
Following Esdeath's low roar, a sharp aura suddenly erupted, sweeping around her. Terrifying cold energy burst forth from her, instantly freezing the area around her. Ice blocks and ice shards immediately covered the surrounding ground!
Seeing this, the Fire Dragon beside them turned pale with fright. Disregarding its cold, it quickly flapped its wings and flew away, certainly not wanting its cold to worsen.
Uchiha Madara lowered his head, watching his feet being encased in ice. Then he looked up, carefully observing Esdeath opposite him, especially the sadistic smile on her exquisite face.
In that instant, Uchiha Madara thought: If he could train this super sadist beauty opposite him into a perfectly obedient masochist, how incredibly fulfilling that would be!
Alright, he had played with Lightning Release, played with Wind Release, and even played with Wood Release. So, facing this Ice Queen, it was time to deploy his long-unseen Fire Release in a head-on confrontation!
The surging natural chakra within him began to take effect, transforming into blazing Fire Release chakra. Gradually, Uchiha Madara's body surface became scorching hot, and the ice encasing his feet began to melt.
As Uchiha Madara raised his head, an unparalleled, dominant aura surged. Horribly hot flames suddenly erupted from him, bursting outwards in waves of fire, instantly engulfing and melting Esdeath's ice, forming a vast burning area!
Esdeath was startled by the terrifying flames suddenly erupting before her. She quickly activated the 0.6 ice on her body to resist!
On the open ground near the volcano, Esdeath and Uchiha Madara faced each other across the distance, their auras clashing. One side was surrounded by freezing cold ice, while the other was a ground fiercely burning with flames. The two sides were clearly distinct, engaging in a head-on confrontation!
Uchiha Madara gazed into Esdeath's bright blue eyes, his heart surging with excitement:
"Esdeath, how about it? Are you willing to become my slave?"
Emitting cold air from her entire body, Esdeath lowered her head and laughed heartily. She simply couldn't suppress the wild joy and excitement in her heart:
"Excellent... simply excellent... That terrifying aura and those scorching flames are truly my natural adversary! To be able to encounter a worthy opponent like you! It's truly exhilarating!"
