General Bianco

Meanwhile, 3 days since the start of the mission, at the north, there was a great army marching towards north to subdue the northern tribes, there were around 2'000 soldiers and a lone woman was guiding them all.

She wore a white dress and had white hair, she had silver eyes as she looked at the unknown thing around 100 meters in front of her, on her waist, there was a whip with thorns, and her hand was over it.

She was General Bianco, Billy's target. And Billy was currently 100 meters away from them, masked and holding his Meat Grinder.

Bianco: ...That greatsword… Are you Undead Bora?

Since Bora rejoined the Revolutionary Army, he was one of the people that were to be kept an eye open for. Due to his massive strength and speed coupled with his mastery over the greatsword.

However, Billy remained silent and kept advancing towards the soldiers.

Bianco: Tch… Soldiers! He might be a dangerous man! Attack him with everything you have got!

If this was the real Bora, not even the 2'000 soldiers she brought might be a match, only Esdeath and Budo could kill him as he "SHOULD" be, but they didn't know that he was not on his prime anymore.

The soldiers charged as Billy just advanced, when they were 15 meters away from Billy, something unexpected happened…

*BTOOOOOM!!*

Countless explosions popped out of nowhere, killing many soldiers and catching the general off guard.

What? Did you expect Billy to challenge all of them AND the general? He is still human! Not his father! He came here 2 days ago and used that time to set out a landmine that would set off the other explosives behind it, done for a large-scale army.

Bianco: WHAT THE FUCK!?

Billy: Hahahahaha! Did you really expect I would fight them all?! Are you an idiot!?

The general gritted her teeth and took out her whip.

Bianco: So you aren't Bora… Then I will capture you and torture you with drugs! Let's see if you want to be a smartass again!

She dashed towards Billy and her whip lashed out, a small clang sounded out as the whip met with Meat Grinder, before Billy jumped in the sky and slashed downwards, the Meat Grinder clashed with the whip again, surprisingly, the whip didn't broke.

Bianco grabbed the whip, not getting stinged from the thorns, with the other hand and used that to defend herself from the Meat Grinder. Bianco's knees were slightly bending from the sheer strength and weight Billy put on, since he was going all out.

Billy: Oh? Is that a Teigu?

Bianco: You can bet your ass it is!

Billy just pulled a trigger, and the spiky edge of the Meat Grinder started spinning, causing sparks to fly everywhere as neither the greatsword or the whip seemed to give up.

Billy let out the greatsword with one hand and used it to throw a punch on Bianco's face, which sent her some steps back, but she recovered immediately and sent the whip after him.

Billy used his greatsword to block the whip again, but he could feel that the whip got abnormally stronger than before and sent Billy a meter back.

Bianco: Don't underestimate my martial arts!

She continued to whip Billy as he used his greatsword to defend, but he was slowly getting pushed back.

Bianco: Hahahahaha! Did you already used all of your energy?! You are a big failure! What did you want to try? Testing my limits of strength or anger? You aren't doing a good job neither of them!

Suddenly, a stronger attack hit his greatsword, and felt a small crack opening on his weapon, his eyes widened as he threw away his caution and grabbed the incoming whip, the thorns stinged him and he could feel a strong force behind that attack.

But he just pulled Bianco towards him, she didn't expected this movement so she was caught off guard and got pulled, Billy used his other arm to raise Meat Grinder and use its chainsaw feature to brutally killing the vulnerable Bianco by cutting her shoulder and her chest.

Bianco: ...Haha… You got poisoned from my Myriad Tribulations: Beelzebub… You will not be able to move for a month… die! *Cough*

Billy: So those thorns had poison… It's a shame you used paralysis though, you should have gone directly with lethal poison instead of trying to keep me as a pet.

Billy walked away as suddenly his body started to turn as stiff as stone, before he would actually fall down, he laid his body on the Meat Grinder and activated the chainsaw mode while maintaining his balance, and from a greatsword/chainsaw hybrid that it was, it was used as a single-wheel motorcycle…

Fancy, right? There is a reason he was able to reach that place from the east to the northern border of the central region in 2 days. Besides, the chainsaw mode doesn't consume energy, it is a mechanical thing inside the sword.

However, he was unable to hold the Teigu because it would be a problem during the travel since he needs a good balance to be on the Meat Grinder like that.

[2 days later]

He was able to reach the castle without eating or drinking anything, so he was pretty hungry. And pretty tired too if you consider that he needed to stay awake the entire time.

Billy: Ahhh!

His tongue was paralyzed, so he needed to scream to attract people's attention, Sally looked from the window and saw Billy laying in his greatsword.

Soon, Kazu and Sally got down and helped Billy standing up, when Kazu noticed Billy's condition, he immediately went to bring an antidote, but it just lessened the effects of the paralysis.

Billy: Thanks… I will go to eat and then rest a bit. Is Chelsea here?

Kazu: No.

Billy could move like a normal person, but doing martial arts is still a no for him now, and he could use around the 20% of his speed and strength, but it was more than enough for now.

He immediately went to the kitchen as Sally already prepared some meals for him and Chelsea when they would return. After eating and drinking, he went to rest immediately on his bedroom.

He rested for 7 hours, which were enough for him, it was afternoon right now as he stretched his body and carried his Meat Grinder around.

Chelsea wasn't turned yet so he went to listen to Kazu and Sally's reports, both of them got out greatly, the only thing that got hurt was Sally's money for wine in the 10 minutes she tried to attract the target's attention.

Then it was Billy's turn to give his report, and the part where he left the Teigu there, but neither Kazu or Sally didn't mind, however, Kazu just didn't care about it, not because of sympathy.

Billy: Alright, now we will wait these 2 days for Chelsea…

Suddenly, someone yelled from outside the castle.

?: Whoever lives here, please meet me outside right now! I am an imperial soldier and if you don't get out, I will enter the castle and kill you!

Billy: What the fuck?! Did someone follow us?!

?: ...Last chance, this castle will be under General Esdeath's control for the time being, I will assure you that you will be alive and safe if you come out now! We know you are living here!

Sally: ...Oops, I should have placed some traps and spread rumors…

Billy glared at Sally, so basically the imperial army that was under General Esdeath found out about them thanks to a mistake, and when they found out that it was in good conditions, they thought that someone lived there in secret… 

Billy: *Sigh* For now let's talk without revealing our identities…

Billy got near the window and yelled.

Billy: What do you want?!

?: I am Liver from the Three Beasts! I work under General Esdeath, she wants to use this castle as a base for her army! If you come out, you will be safe, healthy, and paid too for giving us the castle!

Billy: ...Kazu, kill them, if they find out about you, I will give open signal for fighting with everything you two got, Sally, you stay hidden and prepare yourself for anything.

Kazu/Sally: Yes.

Then Billy, who was still wearing his mask the entire time since he slept, peeked out from the window and saw three people standing in front of the entrance.

The one who spoke was a tall man with gray hair worn in a long ponytail, blue eyes and a mustache. He wore the standard black uniform like the other two beside him.

At the left there was a young man of small build with blond hair and golden eyes. He had a somewhat feline look; his teeth were shown to be sharp, and he had slit pupils. He wore the same uniform, with the exception of wearing shorts. He also had horn-like accessories in his hair and a demon-like tail.

And the last was a man of large muscular build with long, spiky blond hair and pure white, pupil-less eyes. He wore a headdress similar to horns and the same uniform as the other two.

They were the Three Beasts… In which unlucky star was Billy born under?
