CH.14: Hunting task, Night Raid. 【Knot】

For now, Mizuki just needed to catch a few mice and end this farce...

But when they got to the base, Mizuki was surprised and almost thinking that she was a trap, he dodged Chelsea's needles, he really didn't expect to see her there, but after thinking about it; Bulat was dead and the revolutionaries needed Night Raid to be complete.

However, this attack was not the only one that came...

"Esdeath!!!"

In the distance, a green-haired boy spoke with an expression full of anger, while he moved her fingers drawing metal threads that were cutting the trees around her until they surrounded her.

"Oh, an acquaintance…" But Esdeath just looked at him in the distance and smiled as he drew the rapier from him, but the green haired boy yelled at her with a bestial look. "This is for Bulat!"

Screaming furiously, the boy approached the general from on high, but in front of her, a pink-haired beauty stretched out her right hand and caught her attacker's head, "We're not here to play Esdeath," speaking in a bored tone. , smashed his opponent's head into the ground.

"Whatever you say mizuki~"

But Esdeath only smiled and walked towards the dark-haired girl holding a katana, Akame. The other attacker of his.

※※※

In the distance, Leone was also cornered by a purple haired beauty, Sheele, she quickly pulled the giant scissors from her as she apologized and tried to cut the lion girl.

But Leone looked at her sadly and activated her teigu, dodging her former partner's scissors with a wide margin of space, and after somersaulting in the air, she crawled on the ground like a cat and quickly propelled herself with her legs stretching her legs. arms to immobilize her, however, a girl with a pacifier in her mouth, threw several poisonous darts at her.

It was Chelsea, she quickly transformed into an owl and stretched her claws towards the lion girl.

※※※

At the same time, the former general Najenda arrived and quickly took aim with his teigu Pumpkin(1) and fired a blast of lightning at the invading trio.

This caught them off guard, but Mizuki knocked out the green-haired boy and activated his Incursio teigu, as he ran towards the enemy leader.

He quickly completed his transformation and spread his wings, as he grabbed Najenda by the neck and soared into the sky.

This made her pass out from lack of air and Mizuki took the opportunity and activated her system to make her her follower.

After that, he lowered her and held Najenda's teigu as he walked towards the thread boy, but at the same time he doubted if he should kill him.

For him, Lubbock was an annoying guy and surely if he were Chinese, he would be the first to be netarareed (2), of course that was just his inner thoughts and while pointing Najenda's teigu at him, Akame yelled.

He watched her dodge Esdeath's attacks, shook her head, and bent down to pick up the unfortunate boy's teigu.

Sheele and Leone also sighed in relief, neither of them wanted their friends to die, but for Chelsea, this act of stopping the fight was annoying, unfortunately Leone was sitting on her back while she was face down with a sullen expression, Sheele was also sitting beside him with a goofy expression looking at Mizuki.

But Mizuki didn't care about her expression, Night Raid was a weak group compared to their allies and they really weren't worth it except for their teigus.

Of course, if Mizuki hadn't won the system, he wouldn't be any stronger, much less be able to capture the group of assassins with ease, and everything easy that he got after killing the traverser would be taken from him. Don't forget that the traverser weakened him quite a bit and he would surely be easy prey for an angry Sayo.

Of course, that would never happen, now she just had to wait for news from Seryu and finish this task.

After that, he just had to enjoy the empire.

...

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┉

At the same time, in the imperial capital, another mishap occurred.

Sayo and Seryū were now surrounded by several discordant looking people, they were Kurome's companions, who were from a special unit of assassins of the Empire better known as the Dark Squad.

But, the problem was that they were all dead.

"Do you think it's his teigu?"

"Most likely, her sister also has a dangerous teigu, she tries not to cut you, she who knows if she is also poisonous"

"Yes, come on Kuro, Form: Berserker"

Seryū nodded, as he spoke to his teigu and took out two Tonfa pistols to shoot at the "zombies".

Kurome also dodged her bullets as she tried to get close to Sayo, she still remembered that they had told her that they could heal her if she worked with her sister, but she wanted to see Akame's blood.

Not to mention that in Kurome's mind, Akame was the person who abandoned her, but it can't be said that it wasn't, we must remember that she is stronger than her sister and could take her with herself to escape, however, if she If she did, her sister's life would only be a tragedy.

Kurome as a member of the Terror Group (before being part of the Dark Squad), also has several alterations in her body and only consuming the drugs allows her to work normally.

But without them, she would just be an easy target continually tortured by the pain caused by her "evolution".

Of course, Mizuki can also heal her, but now wasn't the time to talk. A dragon of bones and rotting flesh appeared behind Kuro causing a wave of dust and earth that blinded the place, Kuro also turned and clenched her huge reddish fists.

Boom!

Like a sonic boom, the huge fists bruised the dragon's face, he bit off a large portion of the canine teigu's face.

Seryū also tried to help, but Doya shot at her from afar, she could only dodge the bullets and drank a small blue-tinted potion.

It was a potion created by Mizuki based on the health and stamina potions from the original novel, the only bad thing was that they only lasted 30 seconds, but it was enough time for her and she quickly approached the zombie girl and aimed it at her head.

"Go dead"

Bang!, a gunshot alerted Kurome that she was fighting Sayo, but Sayo was more powerful and with her 200 attribute strength, she could easily put her opponent at a disadvantage.

Sayo looked at her as well, nodded at Seryū, and drew another sword from her dimensional ring preparing to slash at Kurome.

To her, Kurome was just another irrelevant toy that didn't matter if she broke, as long as she didn't die, she could repair herself with Mizuki's help.

But at that moment, a boy protected her, "Looks like we won't be together again Kurome."

It was Natala, a blond young man who wore a white uniform and had a metal mask on his face.

He was one of little Kurome's few friends and seeing him being cut off from her angered her.

"Y-YOU! WHAT DID YOU DO?!!!", Kurome yelled hoarsely, but another slash came, bathing the sight of her in bloody rain, — *Fushh*

Now, her last friend was dead, but Sayo didn't care, she quickly kicked her corpse cut in half, causing Kurome to fall to the ground from the force of the blow.

But Sayo only walked slowly.

She smiled and crushed Kurome's hand that was holding Yatsufusa, took the sword from her and cut it.

"AHHH-!" Kurome looked at her scared, she never thought that denying her would make her suffer like this, but even with that cut, she gritted her teeth and looked determinedly at her.

Sayo smiled too and raised her hand to prepare another cut.

Soon, the visual impact shocked Seryu, she really couldn't conceive that most of her classmates were cruel.

At the same time, the zombified dragon was quickly devoured by the giant teigu with a humanoid body, Hekatonkheires (Kuro) who thanks to his evolution, was able to grow to almost surpass the ultra-dangerous beast, but it's not like a corpse could beat an imperial teigu that had been upgraded by the system.

※※※

Sayo also cleaned her swords on the fainted Kurome's clothes, stored the severed limbs along with her teigu in her ring, and carried her like a sack of slag.

Seryū sighed in relief seeing the zombies disappear after Murasame put away, she put away her Tonfa pistols and called out to her teigu as she followed her partner expecting to see her teacher's look.

She still didn't know if Mizuki would be disappointed, but surely she must not like that a girl she asked to get will come to her in such a state...
