As Sheele was getting ready to undress and take a bath, she suddenly paused, her motion to remove her underwear slowed by half a beat.
Having been involved in Night Raid for many years, their alertness was extraordinary. Sheele's cheeks turned red as if she thought of something, but she continued her motion as if she was unaware.
In his heart, Lin Yi recited the Great Compassion Mantra and quickly averted his gaze, retracting his ability to see everything.
He hadn't expected Sheele to have such a great figure.
Subconsciously, Lin Yi's gaze shifted to another room, but he met Mine's eyes. She had already raised her Pumpkin.
"Lin Yi!"
Mine gritted her teeth.
The Pumpkin elevated its barrel, and a beam of light shot out.
He had indeed been discovered.
Their antics were eventually interrupted by a tired Leone, who, dressed only in her underwear, rushed out.
She punched both Lin Yi and Mine. They both kept quiet and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, there were no night raid missions scheduled.
Najenda gave Lin Yi a new task and also asked him to train others like Akame. Under Lin Yi's training, Mine's progress was evident.
On the open ground outside the night raid base.
Akame and Lin Yi faced each other.
Akame was holding a deadly blade, ready to give it her all.
While Lin Yi had only borrowed a long knife from Bulat.
No one thought this duel was unfair; after all, Lin Yi's strength was well-known.
"Lin Yi, be careful. If you're hit by Akame's enchanted blade, the consequences will be severe," Sheele warned with concern from the side.
"Don't worry."
Leone patted Sheele's shoulder nonchalantly.
However, Akame in the field was quite nervous. Lin Yi stood there languidly, appearing to be full of flaws. But when she prepared to attack, it felt like there were no flaws at all.
But if they continued this standoff, it wouldn't be a solution.
"Be careful."
Akame gave a reminder and decided to take the initiative to attack. She dashed out in a flash, focusing on Lin Yi, watching his every move.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, slowly raised his hand and precisely blocked her attack.
Their attacks constantly intertwined. Surprisingly, every move of Akame seemed to have been predicted by Lin Yi, who blocked them accurately.
Lin Yi also took this opportunity to familiarize himself with the "All-seeing Future Sight" ability, which is somewhat similar to the Observation Haki in the world of One Piece, especially the advanced version of it.
The advanced Observation Haki can briefly predict the future.
"Cling! Cling! Cling!"
The sound of clashing weapons was incessant. Lin Yi and Akame's figures kept crisscrossing. Eventually, Lin Yi used the reflection from his weapon to shine into Akame's eyes, delaying her sword move by half a second.
Then, with a step forward, Lin Yi flicked away the lethal strike from Akame's hand.
The battle was over.
"Not bad, judging by your swordsmanship, Akame, I can't find any flaws," Lin Yi praised with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
Akame looked at Lin Yi expressionlessly.
"If you won so easily, is there really no issue with my swordsmanship?"
"I'm telling the truth."
Lin Yi shrugged.
If he hadn't used the "All-seeing Future Sight" ability, he wouldn't have won so easily.
"But in terms of stamina and strength, you need more training," Lin Yi added.
Akame nodded earnestly. Lin Yi's strength was already recognized as the strongest in the Night Raid base. Any issues he pointed out were usually crucial.
"It's your turn, Leone."
Lin Yi looked at Leone, who had been watching the battle, and signaled to her.
Leone, already eager, leapt forward, clashing her fists in front of her chest. Due to the force, her chest heaved.
"Sheele, team up with me."
Leone directly activated the King of Beasts transformation, turning into a half-beast form.
She wouldn't be blindly confident. Lin Yi's strength was well known, so she directly invited Sheele to join her.
"Okay."
Sheele timidly agreed and took out the blade that can cut everything.
Lin Yi, looking at that large scissor, felt a chill down below.
Meanwhile, in the north, what was once a fortress city the alien tribes took pride in had turned into an icy city.
It was a city covered by strong winds and snow. Inside, there were huge blocks of ice, and upon close inspection, they were actually corpses. On the snow-blown streets, there were bodies hung up by ropes, with a faint smell of blood in the air.
Not far away stood a large army, neatly arranged, eerily silent, and exuding an aura of desolation.
On the high throne, Esdeath held an iron chain. Her right foot rested on her left, and in front of her was a man dressed in dazzling armor that glinted coldly, kneeling and begging for mercy.
All semblance of royalty had been lost.
Standing beside was a girl in a black sailor suit, holding a blade, with a bag of snacks in her arms, coldly watching everything unfold.
"I didn't expect this to be the hero of the north..."
A nearby officer said with utmost respect, "In just a moment, she defeated the northern alien tribes. Truly deserving of the title General Esdeath!
"It's boring! Drag him away... and kill him."
After dealing with the northern tribes, Esdeath used ruthless methods and exterminated all forty tribes of the northern aliens.
"Finally done."
"You must already be waiting for me in the imperial city."
"I can't wait any longer."
Esdeath squinted, her eyes filled with affection and tenderness. If other officers saw this expression, they would undoubtedly be terrified.
…
Recently, Lin Yi has been spending almost every day in a gentle dream.
With the power of "Spectator", it has become much easier for him to win over girls.
However, Lin Yi has managed to maintain a good distance and so far hasn't pursued any serious relationships.
Soon, the "Night Raid" received a new assignment.
This time, the target is a noble leader of the empire. He has accumulated vast resources by selling counterfeit and substandard medicines. He is also corrupt, taking bribes, causing widespread resentment.
This nobleman has many strange habits. Using his power, he would arbitrarily arrest daughters of the common folk under false pretenses, treating them like livestock. He is truly a beast devoid of humanity.
No, calling him a beast is an insult to animals.
This mission is more complex because the target is very cautious, making it hard to find an opportunity.
Therefore, they need to cooperate and divide the tasks. After discussions, it was decided that Lin Yi and the Leone would work together, while the rest would act separately to distract the guards.
