Esmeralda

*One of the best thieves in the Multiverse.*

## Summary

Esmeralda is a reincarnating Undead toad that Zac encountered in the Calamity Red Zone in Perennial Vastness in Chapter 999 who joined up with him to sneak into the Left Imperial Palace.

## Appearance

### Perennial Vastness

* It was essentially a seven-meter-tall death-attuned toad. **Chapter 1,000**
* Instead, its back sported a set of translucent pustules, where some black liquid sloshed inside. **Chapter 1,000**
* Zac had run as fast as he could, yet this Early D-grade beast had arrived ahead of him. **Chapter 1,000**
* Zac shrieked at the sudden feeling, but he quickly calmed down upon realizing it was only a 2-meter baby toad who had buffed him with its tongue. **Chapter 1,000**
* And your aura is even weaker now than when we last met for some reason. **Chapter 1,039**
* This Esmeralda is only three years old. **Chapter 1,040**
* This way, she'll be ten when she enters the Left Imperial Palace. **Chapter 1,040**
* She should be at Middle Hegemony by the time the inheritance starts. **Chapter 1,040**

### Intersector War

* Spots of mysterious runes had appeared on her cheeks since they met last, which were currently emitting an unusual energy signature. Otherwise, her appearance hadn't changed much since they last met in the Perennial Vastness. **Chapter 1,189**
* The only noticeable improvement was the mysterious vats on her back. The black liquid inside had become even darker and emitted a dense aura of Death. **Chapter 1,189**

## Personality

* "You'd seal master if he'd get in the way?" Lova said with a helpless shake of her head. "Maybe if you were in your original form. **Chapter 1,004**
* The toad, or Esmeralda, seemed annoyed at Zac's demeanor, and it began croaking while forming a series of signs that Zac, for some reason, felt were insults. **Chapter 1,039**
* Esmeralda responded by mimicking his words and expressions with a series of clearly sarcastic croaks. **Chapter 1,041**
* Whether it was her actions or weirdly human expressions, she felt more like a mischievous kid than anything else. **Chapter 1,041**

## Supreme Thief

* Esmeralda's unique bloodline allows her to resist or even ignore many forms of restrictions. That includes the Karmic suppression of the Sangha. Avoiding troublesome Karmic entanglements is a key skill for any good thief. **Chapter 1,040**
* Esmeralda more enjoys the hunt than the prize itself nowadays. Outsmarting the defenses, breaking the restrictions, and seizing the item is an affirmation of her path. **Chapter 1,040**
* "So Esmeralda is clearly an amazing thief," Zac said, getting an approving nod from the toad. **Chapter 1,040**

## Reincarnating

* "Well, his unique flavor did help your 403rd reincarnation save a bit of time from reaching maturity." **Chapter 1,004**
* "Don't be like that," Lova said. "Who told you to go and eat that scary thing from the Time Nexus? Don't forget; it's only thanks to master and his old friend that you and your reincarnations haven't been washed away by the Obverse River." **Chapter 1,004**
* Esmeralda managed to steal an item that functionally made her immortal. **Chapter 1,040**
* The item Esmeralda stole provides her with an unceasing font of longevity, but she has been forcibly reincarnated hundreds of times. She loses a sliver of herself each time, and the reincarnations are coming in more frequently. **Chapter 1,040**

## Ultom Alliance

* The Enshrinement of Kanba. ... In practice, it means Esmeralda could temporarily create a shrine, or a subspace, in your body and join the Left Imperial Palace that way. **Chapter 1,039**
* She needs to enter the Left Imperial Palace to find an item that can suppress the effect of the temporal treasure. **Chapter 1,040**
* Suffice it to say, Esmeralda is looking for something else, and you're not even required to help her seize it. **Chapter 1,041**
* "Do you really know who's exposed my connection to the pillar?" Zac asked. Esmeralda eagerly nodded and made a series of signs. **Chapter 1,041**
