Chapter 63 The Super Danger Beast with Kurome

As Bud unleashed his power, a massive amount of lightning descended from the sky, instantly killing countless Revolutionary Army in the surrounding area. When the lightning struck the robots on the battlefield, it rendered them completely unusable.

Lightning is clearly effective against these low-level Mechanical Construct, since they are made of metal.

A large number of the simple robots malfunctioned and could not even self-destruct, and the previously one-sided situation was instantly brought under control.

The Revolutionary Army's generals noticed this and their expressions changed instantly; this would render their trump card useless.

This won't do; we must stop Bud from continuing like this...

Without further thought, he immediately notified the Teigu user squad specifically tasked with targeting Bud.

Both the Revolutionary Army and the Order of Peace have their own Imperial Arms users, and relying on sheer numbers is completely ineffective against a powerful figure like Budo.

It would only result in the loss of a large number of soldiers' lives; the only way is to rely on professionals. It's a pity that the personnel for the Night Raid weren't there; otherwise, that would have been the key factor in dealing with Bud.

With the addition of the Teigu users from the Rebel Army, they temporarily held off Bud. However, it wasn't long before these Teigu users turned pale.

There is a huge gap between the users of Imperial Arms. Perhaps Bud is not as good as Esdeath, but she is not someone that other users of Imperial Arms can resist.

The lightning that descended from the sky not only enhanced Bud's abilities, but also caused endless bolts of lightning to strike the surrounding area.

The sky was illuminated in a bluish-white light, a scene resembling a natural disaster that terrified the Rebel Army and the Teigu users nearby.

As expected of the empire's strongest being, it is indeed exceptionally powerful.

While dealing with several Teigu users of the Revolutionary Army, Bud not only did not feel any pressure, but became increasingly powerful.

He raised his right hand and summoned a thunder dragon that descended from the sky, striking one of the Imperial Arms users wielding a scythe and instantly killing him.

Looking at General Budou, who seemed like Thor reincarnated, the others also began to feel fear.

But they could not retreat; without defeating Bud, they could not overthrow the empire, and all their efforts would be in vain.

Bud began a killing spree, with elemental Teigu users generally wielding wide-range killing techniques.

Esdeath can freeze a thousand miles in an instant.

At that moment, Bud also turned the surrounding area into a complete lightning field.

If they can't stop him, half of the million-strong resistance army could die. That's the source of Bud's confidence; he can quell the rebellion even by himself.

No number of ordinary soldiers would be enough to deal with such a top-tier Imperial Arms user.

Just as Bud was feeling invincible, a powerful ray of light shot straight towards his head from afar. Sensing the danger, Bud quickly tried to block it, but was still struck.

However, he avoided fatal spots at the most crucial moment, so it wasn't too serious.

He then immediately focused his gaze on a distant location and discovered a pink-haired girl with twin tails wielding a ranged Imperial Arms and sniping at him.

"It's a pity we didn't kill him."

Mine hugged her Romanticist Cannon and was a little disappointed to see that Bud hadn't died.

This sudden action severely depleted her mental energy, and the Imperial Arm in her hand, which had its restrictions lifted and greatly increased in power, was now overheating and temporarily unusable.

For the time being, they have completely lost their fighting ability.

The task is still not complete...

Shil was standing nearby, was holding her large scissors and didn't react. Her job was to protect her.

Meanwhile, the others had already joined the battle.

"Buried!"

Just as Bud recovered, a figure appeared beside him, wielding Demon Sword, the Imperial Arm, which slashed at him mercilessly.

Sensing the terrifying power of the Demon Sword, Budo immediately used his Imperial Arms Gauntlets to block the attack.

"Night Raid..."

Looking at the Akame before him, he seemed to recognize her.

Then, in a fit of rage, he was about to electrocute her when another figure appeared beside him and slashed at her with a knife.

The experienced Bud immediately used his other hand to block it, and discovered that the girl who looked very similar to Akame was also using a knife.

"Sister, we're fighting side by side again."

With a candy in Kurome mouth, Kurohime pressed down hard on Bud with both hands, then turned to Akame beside her and smiled, saying, "It just looks a bit sickly."

"..."

Akame remained silent upon hearing this.

She had no idea how Clara had managed to get Kurome to join her side. Even though Kurome had previously refused her invitation to join Night Raid without hesitation.

But this is fine too. She doesn't care who takes power in the empire, as long as the new country is no longer as dark as it is now.

What's more, Clara also cured her sister's illness.

This time, perhaps it will be a perfect ending.

"This is outrageous, Wan Lei!"

Seeing that the two assassins completely disregarded him and kept glancing around while fighting him, Bud instantly became furious.

The lightning on their bodies erupted and spread, and bolts of lightning rained down on them.

His Imperial Arms completely counters those Imperial Arms users like them...

However, the scene they imagined—being struck dead by lightning—did not occur. An invisible force blocked the lightning's attack, allowing them to remain unharmed amidst the lightning.

"The power of Preservation... is indeed amazing."

Feeling safe from the Preservation Light Cone, Akame no longer needed to hold back and continued to attack Bud.

"Sister, stay away."

"The big one is coming."

Kurome knelt on the ground, planting the Imperial Arm in her hand into the ground as a reminder to Akame.

"What?"

Before Akame could react, a sudden earthquake shook the ground, and an incredibly terrifying Danger Beast appeared on the battlefield.

"This is my new corpse puppet, a Super Danger Beast!"

Kurome stood atop the massive Super Danger Beast and began to explain with a smile. This was the corpse puppet that Esdeath and Clara had taken her to kill a sleeping Super Danger Beast, which allowed them to gain control of it.

Since the corpse puppet is already dead, this Super Danger Beast is unkillable.

Her body is now almost completely healed, enough to allow her to control this behemoth for some time.

Looking at the enormous creature before him, Akame felt no envy or jealousy, only awe.

As expected of Clara and the others...

"Even Super Danger Beast have come."

Bud felt a sense of pressure as he looked at the suddenly appearing Super Danger Beast. He wasn't necessarily afraid, but facing such Danger Beast at this moment was undoubtedly very disadvantageous.

But he wasn't given the choice to refuse; Kurome had already started controlling the Danger Beast to attack him.

"Let's go."

Accompanied by the voice of the Kurome, this Super Danger Beast, which had been sleeping soundly and had no idea how it had died, unleashed its terrifying power.

Chapter 64 Burial! General Budou, Dead

The appearance of the Super Danger Beast not only startled Bud and the Imperial Guard, but also terrified the Rebel Army.

This is Super Danger Beast, a legendary existence.

Comparable to mythical beasts and gods!

Even just a corpse is terrifying.

It's safe to say that no matter what kind of Super Danger Beast it is, it's enough to destroy an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions...

However, when the Revolutionary Army members noticed that this Super Danger Beast seemed to be targeting the Empire, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, followed by joy.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Moreover, the Revolutionary Army's high command recognized Akame as a member of Night Raid. Nadjeshda and the others had finally appeared; these were their own people.

Although I don't know why I haven't heard back from you since we last contacted each other, I suppose it must be something important.

I believe Nadjeshda and the others would never betray the Revolutionary Army, especially since victory and the overthrow of the Empire are just around the corner.

"A manipulated corpse puppet..."

Faced with this suddenly appearing Super Danger Beast, the Imperial soldiers instinctively retreated in fear, but Bud was not afraid.

She also realized that the Danger Beast creature before her was merely a corpse being controlled by Kurome. Controlling such a terrifying corpse would be something a girl couldn't sustain for long.

"Traitors who betray the empire will be destroyed!"

"Admirer!!"

Bud raised his hands and roared, followed by a thunderclap in the sky as if the sky had collapsed, and blinding lightning filled the sky like a spider web.

This scene, resembling divine wrath, terrified the residents of the entire capital, and the Revolutionary Army soldiers were even more terrified, some even wetting themselves in fear.

One of the empire's strongest generals, truly deserving of the title.

Relying on the power of lightning, General Budou floated in the air, raised his right hand, gathered the lightning in the sky into his hand, and formed a terrifying ball of lightning, which he then smashed towards the Super Danger Beast in front of him.

"Superior!"

Seeing the terrifying lightning, Kurome quickly manipulated the Super Danger Beast beneath him, causing it to open its massive maw and unleash an equally terrifying burst of energy.

The two attacks collided, and a huge mushroom cloud quickly appeared on the battlefield, instantly vaporizing nearby soldiers.

Those further away were also unable to stand, swaying and staggering in the aftershocks of the force.

This was practically a battle of gods; it was something ordinary soldiers couldn't possibly participate in.

However, neither Kurome Akame were greatly affected, nor was Bud. Before the terrifying commotion had subsided, the two sides clashed again.

Kurome wielded a massive, Danger Beast, unleashing devastating power, but Bud transformed into Thor to fight back.

Gradually, both sides became severely exhausted. Since this Super Danger Beast was essentially dead, although Budley was terrifying, it did not cause it much real damage.

Kurome, protected by this Danger Beast and that unknown power, directly resisted his lightning. This made Bud's expression extremely ugly; he was finding it difficult to stabilize the situation.

If this continues, he'll be the one who dies...

However, Kurome's condition wasn't very good either. Controlling a Super Danger Beast for a long time was taking a toll on her body.

General Budou is indeed worthy of being compared to General Esdeath. Although he feels that he is not as good as Esdeath, he is still far superior to himself and others.

They have managed to hold out until now, even in the face of attacks from Super Danger Beast.

However, failing to eliminate him would have a significant impact on the Creation Engine. The power of lightning is a natural counter to Mechanical Construct, and even the Creation Engine itself might experience program malfunctions when facing him.

We must kill him!

Kurome glanced at his sister, who had entered a state of lurking. If Akame could hurt him, even if Bud was incredibly powerful, he would surely die from Muramasa's curse.

But Bud was enveloped in lightning, making it impossible for his sister to get close.

"Then that's the only way..."

Kurome was prepared for this situation. She couldn't control this Super Danger Beast for too long and had to finish the battle quickly.

Otherwise, using Danger Beast corpse puppets to wear down Bud could also kill him.

Kurome took out another Light Cone that Clara had prepared in advance and slammed it directly onto the corpse puppet beneath him.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the Hunt Path was added to the Super Danger Beast Corpse Puppet, making its aura even more terrifying.
