33 Madness: OVERBEARING
Since the Night Raid left, 3 months passed without any activity.
Without Bolic, the Path of Peace was finally able to orchestrate an armed uprising. Believing that fighting against the empire that oppresses its own people was their calling, they assaulted the government offices that imposed heavy taxes and the storehouses of the landlords.
Although the great lord wanted to avoid bloodshed, understanding that land and food were needed to sustain the massive number of followers, he agreed to the rationale of the religious group's leaders.
Many of the citizens oppressed by the empire also rose up in response to the uprising. The revolution spread throughout the empire.
Simultaneously, the western nation's massive army began an invasion, as if it had been waiting for that precise moment. The inexperienced military of the empire suffered one defeat after another. And allowed the nation's army to penetrate deep into the empire's territory.
Meanwhile, at north, a black hole of the size of a big island opened, and from there, strange skeletons armed with firearm or weapons came out, each day there would be 2'000 skeletons coming out, and it lasted for an entire month.
The skeletons ignored everyone else except for the empire, so no one attacked them and used the skeletons at their advantage.
The empire wasn't that good on itself, since Esdeath turned in the capital and reported about Billy's place on the Night Raid, the empire closed the God of Gambling's Casino before it was too late.
Before it got closed, every minion and the Big G inside the casino rampaged around, killing as many guards as possible, however they were eliminated from another general in the capital, Great General Budo.
But due to the loss of money during the entire time that the casino was opened, and the current situation of the empire, the 15% of guards gave up and stopped working for the empire, joining the Revolutionary Army.
The only thing that made the empire stand was Budo, Esdeath, the recently arrived Syura, and a secret belonging to the Prime Minister and the Emperor.
There was a rumor that Syura got stronger than before while he traveled the world and grouped together the infamous team Wild Hunt.
However, now that Esdeath's group diminished to two, which are Wave and Run, they aren't that threatening compared to Wild Hunt.
As for the Night Raid, they were relaxing on their hideout, thanks to Billy's black fissure, they reached the place without being followed from anyone, and a doctor from the Revolutionary Army that possessed Perfector helped the team to heal.
Apparently, Chelsea and Mine were fighting for Tatsumi now, with Billy and Leone teasing them.
About Billy, he didn't stay there doing nothing and trained together with Akame. He needed to fight more instead of training his body, training his instinct and increasing his experience with fights.
Little by little, the normal 15 years old brat that liked to gamble turned into a demon capable of killing anyone given the opportunity… All thanks to a decision, suicide. If it wasn't for that, he won't be here, but he won't have to listen to that annoying voice in his mind.
Both Billy and Akame held a wooden sword as they clashed fast, each time they swung their weapons, they threatened to break the swords with the strength and speed they were employing.
Other times Billy would use an airsoft gun to attack Akame, who dodged the bullets and countered with her sword.
Najenda was currently out to see the reports of the spies in the empire, so no one could get out from the hideout until either Najenda or the report came in.
And about the outside of the hideout, right now, in front of the grave of Bols, there were two women dressed in black, the mature woman had a veil on her head while she prayed for Bols.
The other one was a small girl, she was praying too and stood silent, both of them felt sorrow for what happened to Bols. Yet, they were watched from 7 people… 6 of them were part of Wild Hunt, Syura included.
Syura: Oho… What a surprise. The beautiful widow that never misses a cemetery visit. Just like the rumors said.
One of the men behind Syura spoke after him, he was a lean, muscular man with black hair styled in a triangular bob-like cut and small light-colored eyes. He wore a black outfit which revealed his chest and light-colored pants with a sash.
Enshin: Going to the outskirts like this every once in a while isn't so bad, huh?
Bols' Wife: Uh, um… Can… I… Help you, sir?
Syura: Yeah. I'm designating you as my new toy.
Enshin: You should feel honored. The son of the Prime Minister has laid his eyes upon you!
The mother panicked and held her child behind her.
Child: S-Stop! Don't pick on mommy!
Then a dark-skinned fat fuck with a clown makeup and clothing stepped headed towards the child.
Champ: AAAAAAAH!! YOU'RE SO FUCKING CUUUUUUUTE!!
Child: EEK!
Champ: Let's have our beautiful, romantic wedding right on top of your daddy's grave!!
Syura slowly walked towards the mother and daughter while laughing, before a bullet flew past his head, surprising him.
Syura: Who dares to attack me?!
He heard a body fall in the ground, and saw Enshin in the ground, everything of his skull except for his jaws vanished in a bloody gore, and a fist-sized hole was on the ground.
Heavy steps slowly reached the wife and the child and lifted them up. Both of them screamed in surprise before they noticed that they were inside a gray ribcage.

The mother and the children relaxed a bit when they heard that they would be protected from whatever the thing was, while they saw the group's terrified and weird gazes towards the thing that is protecting them.
It was a 5 meters tall skeleton armed with many weapons and releasing a dark aura, meaning that it is enchanted.
Syura: Tch… That size, who else can it be if not Big G…
If he knew that Billy could summon 9'999 more of these things he would spit blood though.
Syura: What the hell are you guys waiting for?! Attack him!
Wild Hunt: Yes!
The first one to attack was Cosmina, a young woman with bob-style haircut and bunny ears accessory on her head. She wore a mini dress, a collar and matching wristbands, boots and a pair of glasses, her Teigu was a microphone, she sand on the microphone, unleashing a sonic wave against the giant.
Suddenly, the giant kicked the ground and unsheathed an strange weapon, the speed of the giant was unnaturally fast and it caught Cosmina off her guard.
Then the giant easily reached her and slammed his weapon on her, which appeared to be a combination of a glaive, an axe, and other blades.
Cosmina was flattened with a single strike, surprising the rest of the Wild Hunt, an enchanted Mag-sized (AN: Mag is for Magnified) minion is no joke, even people like Susanoo need to be careful of them, and if Billy could successfully enchant all of the ones he has, he can destroy the entire empire alone.
The entire time, the mother closed the eyes of her daughter while watching her soon-to-be rapists and murderers die.
The last male subordinate spoke in surprise, he was a tall man with black hair worn in a top ponytail; his clothing resembled that of a samurai.
Izou: Tch, what's with this sick speed?!
Izou jumped away from the giant, who took out a mag-sized Colt Revolver with a long barrel and shot at Izou, the latter unsheathed his sword and cut the bullet in two, not before he was thrown away from the force carried from the giant bullet.
Syura's teeth clenched and took out something from his pocket, revealing a Teigu.
Syura: Shambhala, activate!
A magic formation opened under the giant's feet, however, before Syura could teleport the giant in a volcano, the magic formation was interrupted with a black fissure on the ground, shocking Syura.
Syura: That fissure is also a spatial technique?!
The giant didn't say anything, even though he was just a skeleton, and threw his Colt Revolver inside before he took out a Mag-sized Remington 870, which was a shotgun.
He pumped the shotgun and aimed it at the fat fuck pedophile, who took out 6 orbs and spun them around, the orbs acted as a shield and protected the obese man from the load of the shotgun, even though the force of the impact managed to flung the pedophile away.
The giant didn't stopped there and held the shotgun from the barrel, before using it as a blunt weapon against another person that was attacking him, who was a little girl with impressive strength.
However it was far from harming the giant, and Dorothea was hit in the chest, breaking some bones as she flew away.
The giant pumped the shotgun once again and aimed it at the fat fuck that managed to turn back on his feet, he tried to spin the 6 orbs again, but the bullets reached him first, making the obese pedophile explode in gore.
After killing the obese man, the giant put back the shotgun on his back and creaked his knuckles as he looked at Syura.
Suddenly, Izou turned back and tried to attack the giant with his sword, but with a single attack of Izou, he broke his own sword.
Izou: How the fuck can this shit be so hard?!
The samurai guy was slapped on the ground, breaking his back, before he was stomped from the giant, killing him too.
Then the giant turned towards Syura, who had a terrified face and tried to use his Teigu to teleport away, but the giant's melee weapon reached him before he could activate Shambhala, bisecting Syura in two.
The giant then turned around and took out the mother and the daughter from his rib cage and left, Dorothea meanwhile managed to stay on her feet and rushed at the giant in anger, but the giant ignored her with his eyes and placed an hand over her head, before pushing her in the ground.
It wasn't that "Pushing" down, but Dorothea's lower body was reduced to paste due to the pressure between the hand and the ground, only the body from her chest and up remained, the down the chest was just gore and blood.
Then the giant left in the nearby forest, not seen anymore.
Some minutes later, Wave and Run reached the grave with some guards.
Wave: Are you alright girls?!
Mother: Uh… Yeah…
Run looked around and frowned.
Run: Hey Wave, look around…
Wave did as Run said and saw Syura and everyone else from Wild Hunt dead…
Wave: W-What happened…
Mother: I… I don't know…
Child: A big skeleton protected Mommy! Mommy covered my eyes so I don't know what happened.
Run: A big skeleton… Wave, could it be…
Wave: H-Hey, is the skeleton 10 meters tall? And doesn't have legs?
Mother: No, the skeleton was around 5 meters and took out weapons from a black hole in the ground…
Wave: Black hole…
Run: There's no one else that can do it, it's Billy.
Wave froze and looked in the ground, then he sighed.
Wave: 'Even after attacking us, you are still protecting the innocents…' Hey, Run… I don't know what to do anymore… The empire is too evil for letting these people, but I can't just be part of the Revolutionary Army.
