Chapter 76
"A thousand-year-old imperial capital..."
It's becoming more and more like the world she envisioned.
In that world, implementing reforms would be virtually impossible; she simply couldn't do it. Overthrowing the empire, however, would be easy, since the original protagonist group had already successfully done so.
If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this world should be the world of "Akame ga Kill!".
The main themes are love and death, and the plot is quite different from the classic formula of traditional shonen manga.
The geographical conception of the work comes from Shenzhou, and it is a secondary creation based on that, so some places will feel familiar.
Just as people decay, nations will one day perish. Even a prosperous capital city that has thrived for a thousand years is nothing more than a corrupt hell on earth, where demons and monsters in human skin run rampant and arrogant!
If Heaven is powerless to punish evil, we will vanish into the darkness!
We are the entire professional assassin squad!
Night Raid!
This is the main characters, and this is their declaration.
But... in the end, they all died, leaving only the title of the work, Akame alone survived.
Chapter 6 Danger Beast
"Thank you so much!"
Having found out the route to the capital, Clara thanked the kind people and then turned to walk towards the capital.
Although it's highly likely that this world is the one she envisions, it still needs to be completely confirmed.
As for the darkness in the capital...
Clara will protect herself, especially with Mr. Svarog around.
If it really is that world, the only enemies she cares about are the Teigu users and those Super Danger Beasts.
Even most Imperial Arms users and Super Danger Beast don't matter; the key is those legendary ones.
Among the Teigu users, there's Akame, the sadistic general who can freeze time and space, Esdeath, who possesses Class 1 Trump Card Imperial Arms...
And Super Danger Beast, such as the legendary Dragon in the Clouds of the East Sea.
Of course, this is merely concern. Considering his own trump cards, he doesn't consider them truly dangerous. They are simply entities worth taking seriously.
We continued on our way; it seemed that the main road was just ahead.
The main road leading directly to the capital is much easier to travel on, because there are many people who want to venture to the capital, and there are also some nobles who usually travel by carriage. If the road is uneven, it will be very uncomfortable.
Sure enough, after walking for a short while, the girl successfully reached the main road leading directly to the capital. The road surface was much smoother, making it much more comfortable to walk on.
Because of the weather, the road surface felt nice and warm...
Despite walking for such a long time, Clara's feet remained remarkably clean, something a normal person would find unbelievable.
But this is fate's protection; Clara will always be the most adorable.
Walking down the avenue, Clara noticed that there were many more people around her, and a four-wheeled carriage was driving ahead.
Around the carriage were quite a few unprofessional guards who looked rather listless.
Just as Clara was observing all this, the ground suddenly began to tremble continuously, and then quickly became more and more violent.
Boom! Boom!
It felt like an earthquake.
Clara was also swaying, and quickly steadied herself, but she didn't feel that it was an earthquake. It felt more like the Danger Beast she had encountered underground before.
Sure enough, not long after, the ground of the avenue suddenly cracked open, and a huge monster emerged from it. It had insect-like features and was shaped like a centipede and a queen ant.
It emerged directly from the front of the carriage, as if it had been planned all along.
Upon seeing the monster appear before him, the coachman, his eyes glazed over, hurriedly looked up, trying to get a clear look at the thing, but instead lost his balance and fell over.
My body was in a state of panic, completely disoriented. I wanted to say something, but my voice was stuck in my throat, unable to escape...
Fear spread throughout his body, and finally he managed to utter these few words.
"... Earth Dragon!!!"
He recognized the monster before him as Level 1 Danger Beast Earth Dragon.
The Danger Beast, from lowest to highest, are as follows:
Level 5 Danger Beast, wild beasts that can be seen everywhere.
Level 4 Danger Beast: They resemble wild beasts, but do not exceed the category of ordinary creatures.
Level 3 Danger Beast, and its shape is no different from that of a small car. Its strength also surpasses that of ordinary people.
Level 2 Danger Beast: Primarily composed of fantasy creatures such as Asia-Pacific dragons, possessing power surpassing that of ordinary creatures, comparable to being able to blow up the streets.
Level 1 Danger Beast, possessing enough power to destroy an ordinary small town.
These Super Danger Beast, comparable to mythical creatures, but there is a vast difference in their strength.
The Special Grade falls between the First Grade and the Super Danger Beast.
The coachman stared in disbelief at the Earth Dragon before him. He had never heard of such a terrifying Danger Beast appearing on the main road leading to the capital!
This main road leading directly to the capital is normally absolutely safe; ferocious beasts and Danger Beast stay away from here, a situation that has existed for hundreds of years.
Why was I so unlucky to encounter Level 1 Danger Beast Earth Dragon?
The guards beside the carriage were also looking at the so-called Earth Dragon with surprise and fear, and dared not make a move.
But the Earth Dragon was not going to let go of the food in front of it.
Hiss hiss hiss————
The Earth Dragon emitted a deafening roar, then slammed down, instantly causing the ground to explode.
"Run! Run!"
Witnessing this horrific scene, one of the guards shouted, then threw down everything and ran for his life. His voice seemed to be a warning to himself, or perhaps to others...
Then the other guards completely ignored the cargo and only cared about escaping.
Preserving one's own life is the most important thing.
The groom had just gotten up from the ground when he saw the guards already running ahead of him, and the Earth Dragon's aura touched his back.
Cold sweat instantly poured down the coachman's body. He didn't want to die like this... He wanted to live, because only by living could he enjoy a wonderful life.
Then he didn't dare look back at all, he just ran for his life, and coincidentally, he ran right towards Clara.
The Earth Dragon, relying on its enormous body, had already caught up, and its ferocious appearance was about to finish off the coachman and Clara together.
Not far away, a boy with fluffy brown hair and tattered cotton clothes noticed this scene and instinctively wanted to draw the sharp black sword from his back.
He could easily handle even Level 1 Danger Beast like this.
Just as the boy was about to step in to save her, Svarog appeared in front of Clara before anyone could even see how such a large robot had appeared.
Then, he shielded Clara with one hand, raised his other mechanical arm to lock onto the Earth Dragon, and fired a shot.
Leave Clara!
With Svarog's voice, a beam of scorching light shot out from his mechanical arm, blasting straight through the Earth Dragon's rather large body.
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying-looking Earth Dragon collapsed to the ground and quickly became still.
The sudden change stunned the driver. After several seconds, he reached out and touched his body, finding himself unharmed. He then noticed that the Earth Dragon behind him was completely dead.
Looking back at Svarog beside Clara, he plopped down on the ground, feeling that this iron lump was even more terrifying than the Earth Dragon!
But Svarog didn't do anything to him; he just glanced at him with his mechanical eye and then noticed the boy not far away.
They discovered that the boy was far more dangerous than the Earth Dragon, but since he showed no hostility, they did not attack him.
After confirming that Clara was alright, he stood behind her to ensure he could protect her immediately.
Chapter 7 He is Clara's family...
"What is this lump of iron? Could it be another new and even more Danger Beast?!"
The boy watched as Svarog killed the Earth Dragon with a single shot, slowed his pace, and became even more wary with the sword in his hand.
However, he soon discovered that the metal lump did not seem to be a dangerous creature; it was protecting the lovely white-haired girl.
A rather beautiful and adorable little girl.
She's even prettier than my childhood friend Sayo. No, this isn't the time to think about that.
The boy shook off his wild thoughts, then picked up his sword and walked over, only to find that the Earth Dragon's body had been blasted through, leaving a large gash.
"It's quite rare to see prey this big. Are you all alright?"
After glancing at the Earth Dragon a few times, the boy showed no fear; he had hunted such a large creature before.
This is why he was so confident that he would make a name for himself in the capital and change the village's situation.
"No... it's nothing, I was just startled. I never expected such a terrifying and Danger Beast to appear on the main road leading directly to the capital."
The coachman then noticed that Svarog didn't seem to be planning to attack him; instead, he was standing behind the girl, realizing that Swallow was under control.
With less fear, he stood up again and said helplessly.
"Oh, right, I also have to thank this young lady and this... for saving me, otherwise I would have died here."
The coachman was still a little afraid of Svarog, but thanks to Schwarzkopf's intervention, the outcome would have been uncertain. He still expressed his gratitude with a respectful expression.
"Nothing..."
Clara didn't like the coachman in front of her. If she were just an ordinary person, and he ran towards her, she would definitely die in the mouth of the Earth Dragon together.
However, her personality makes it difficult for her to lash out, let alone kill someone.
It was clear that the other person had indeed been in a panic and had come this way without thinking.
The girl looked at the boy beside her and felt he looked somewhat familiar...
"Hello! My name is Tatsumi."
Noticing that Clara was looking at him, Tatsumi introduced himself and patted his chest, exuding confidence.
"Although he is not famous yet, he will definitely become a well-known figure in the entire capital in the future."
Although he hadn't even arrived in the capital yet, he already felt as if he were becoming a famous and important figure.
"T... Tatsumi ..."
Really.
Upon hearing Tatsumi introduce himself, Clara's eyes flashed with certainty. No wonder he seemed familiar; he's the protagonist of this world.
In this world, someone dies in every episode, and even the male protagonist couldn't survive.
At this moment, Clara finally understood exactly what kind of world this was.
"Hello... My name is Clara."
Clara also introduced herself. She thought highly of Tatsumi, saying he was a good person and very hardworking.
"Your name is Clara, I've got it!"
"By the way, what's that metal thing on your back? It looks really strong..."
Such a beautiful girl's name is worth remembering, but compared to that, Tatsumi is more concerned about Svarog behind her.
I think this big guy is much cooler!
"Mr. Svarog isn't a lump of iron; he's Clara's family..."
Clara was a little annoyed when she heard Tatsumi call Svarog "Iron Lump," and then she began to introduce Svarog very seriously.
"Uh, family..."
Are a lump of iron and a little human girl family?
