Chapter 87
No wonder she looked so familiar; the woman in front of me is none other than the female lead, Akame.
But...
"If she is Akame, how come she is still..."
Clara was a little confused. Wasn't the reason they came here to wait for the Night Raid? Now that the Night Raid raiders had finally arrived, how did they end up facing off against each other?
Trust me, Clara.
Svarog didn't explain much, because the other members of the Night Raid were already approaching.
"Yes, Clara trusts Mr. Svarog's calculations." Clara didn't ask any further questions; generally, Mr. Svarog's calculations were accurate.
Moreover, she wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was quite clever and quickly grasped some of Svarog's thoughts. Offering herself up to cooperate with Night Raid, even setting aside any suspicion from the other side, was unlikely to garner much attention...
The saying goes, "No fight, no friendship," so it's better to first demonstrate your strength. This way, Night Raid will be eager to join you.
Another reason is that defeating Teigu users and famous figures also grants achievement rewards. The main characters are almost all Teigu users, making it practically free achievement Points!
They didn't wait long; in just a few seconds, a man and a woman appeared.
It was Leone and Brood...
When the two noticed the situation before them and saw that Akame was trapped inside a purple electromagnetic sphere and unable to move, they immediately became tense.
Especially Leone, the Lion Girl, who seemed to have her fur standing on end.
"Akame!"
"Damn it, let go of Akame!"
Leone possesses a belt-type Teigu that transforms her into a beast girl, the Beast King [Lion King].
This Imperial Arm allows the user to transform into a beast, dramatically enhancing their physical abilities, including their sense of smell, and enabling them to locate enemies.
The ultimate technique, "The Lion Never Dies," can greatly enhance one's recovery ability.
Even if his hands and feet are cut off or his eyes are gouged out, he can stop the bleeding and reattach himself. He can enhance his half-beast transformation and the recovery effect is even better when combined with Lubbock's Imperial Arms.
At that moment, Leone, seeing her companion's plight, charged at Svarog like a raging lion, trying to rescue Akame.
However, when faced with Leone, Svarog simply raised his left hand, and another huge mechanical hand suddenly appeared beside him.
"Wait, Leone!"
Noticing Svarog's actions and seeing Leone, he rushed forward without thinking. Brood tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Like an angry little lion Leone was no longer listening to him and had already rushed in front of Svarog.
However, the moment she made her move, the independent mechanical hand casually slapped her away. Then, before Leone could even stand up, the mechanical hand slightly opened, and a small black hole composed of electromagnetic waves appeared in its palm.
Everything around it, from furniture to walls, rocks, and bricks, was being absorbed frantically by this small black hole.
Even Clara was not spared; the Preservation force appeared to shield her from the black hole's pull.
Leone, who was the main target, did not fare so well. Even though her Teigu gave her superhuman strength, she was still pulled into the black hole before she could even stand firmly, and her body was uncontrollably sucked in front of the giant mechanical hand.
However, at this moment, Svarog stopped absorbing the black hole and instead grabbed Leone, forming a purple electromagnetic sphere just like Akame's.
"Leone ..."
Brood, struggling to control the suction force, hadn't even had time to react when he saw Leone also being controlled, and his expression instantly changed.
Now look what's happened; both of his companions are gone.
Lubbock and Mine rushed over, but it was to no avail.
Fortunately, the black hole's suction force is gone now, but he can only rely on himself to save the two of them. This mission is truly baffling.
He thought it was just another assassination attempt, nothing more, but he hadn't expected this turn of events. He didn't have time to think about the details; the most important thing now was to rescue his comrades...
"Alright, let's have a contest between the strong!"
Bran's gaze turned serious as he stared intently at the handsome Mechanical Construct in front of him.
He's getting serious now.
He twirled the gun in his hand, then Brood knelt on one knee, one hand on the ground, his eyes burning with intensity.
"Incursio!!!"
With a loud roar from Brood, an enormous Mecha figure appeared behind him, followed by a burst of light.
Along with the light, something resembling living straps wrapped around his body, and he transformed into an armored warrior draped in a silver-white cloak.
This is his Imperial Arm, Incursio!
An armor-type Imperial Arms made from the ferocious dragon-shaped Danger Beast "Thailand".
It possesses an impenetrable defensive capability, but it places an immense burden on the wearer; an ordinary person would die if they wore it.
More importantly, the Super Danger Beast Tyrande that created the armor is not truly dead; it can adjust its size according to the user's body shape and continues to evolve.
Not only does it possess the ability to become invisible for a short period of time, but it also has the ability to enhance itself, evolving different defensive capabilities when encountering different enemies.
It is also equipped with the secondary weapon "Bols".
Chapter 25 The Will to Preservation
After transforming, Brood, wielding the Bols, instantly became much more imposing.
He raised his signature spear, pointed it at Svarog, took a step that instantly shattered the ground, and then dashed over as if he had teleported.
[Target threat index has increased.]
Facing Brood after his transformation, Svarog controlled the two purple electromagnetic spheres while meeting the attacker's attack.
Unseen by ordinary eyes, Brood appeared before Svarog and hurled a shot.
However, as if he could anticipate his attack, Svarog raised his hand to block it.
"Break!"
Seeing his attack blocked, Brood gripped his weapon tightly and pressed down even harder. Even a mechanical shell couldn't withstand the Bols's attack; it was enough to shatter steel.
Seemingly sensing Brood's determination, his armor became even more terrifying, pressing down on Svarog with even greater force.
However, things weren't so bad for Svarog. The ground beneath his feet couldn't withstand the force, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear.
Moreover, it grew larger and larger, and the surrounding buildings continued to crack under this pressure, with signs of collapse appearing on the houses.
Svarog glanced at Clara and saw the Preservation power surging around her, unaffected even by the collapse of the buildings. Without further hesitation, he lifted Brood's spear aside and slammed his other iron fist heavily towards him.
Sensing the approaching danger, Brood, with his exceptional intuition, quickly raised his spear to defend himself, barely managing to block Svarog's punch.
However, due to that terrifying force, it was directly blasted back more than ten meters and crashed into the mansion wall, causing the mansion wall to collapse.
However, this did not affect Brood, who was fully protected inside the armor. He swept away the surrounding bricks and dirt with a shot and continued to roar as he charged toward Svarog.
With his determination and courage, he seemed to have completely merged with the Imperial Arms on his body, transforming into Super Danger Beast that could constantly adapt to and evolve in the environment.
Compared to other Imperial Arms, this one, Incursio, is a living Imperial Arm. Its muscles are constantly alive and can even grow.
At this moment, in Svarog's eyes, Brood was no longer human, but a terrifying, top-tier Super Danger Beast.
Even so, he felt no fear or worry whatsoever!
[Preservation the will.]
Svarog stepped onto the ground, and the Preservation force before him formed an invisible giant wall. In this world, he and Clara were companions on the three paths of destruction, Preservation, Erudition.
Although it's just the beginning, it has already been very effective.
Brood, in his Super Danger Beast, slammed his gun into the Preservation giant wall, only to feel a wave of dizziness.
Instead of breaking through the Preservation, the force of the recoil paralyzed him!
Before Brood could react, Svarog had already appeared in front of him, his missile launchers appearing and locking onto him, but he didn't fire.
The battle is over. You have lost.
[The members of the Night Raid.]
"..."
Having regained some of his senses, Brood was about to get up when he saw the missile launcher in front of him and stopped.
Although he wasn't sure what it was, he felt a sense of impending death.
It's not that he's afraid of death; for his beliefs, Brood is willing to pay the price with his life without hesitation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a member of Night Raid...
The main reason he stopped fighting back was that the Mechanical Construct in front of him didn't seem to have any intention to kill him; instead, it seemed to want to talk to him.
Without having to fight to the death, and considering the safety of Leone and Akame, he naturally wouldn't act impulsively. He wasn't one of those young lads.
"I've lost. What was that power? It was incredibly strong!"
Brood admitted defeat, and he did not lose unjustly. The Mechanical Construct before him was too powerful. Perhaps only the great general of the empire and Esdeath could compare to it.
Brood's heart sank at the thought of those two generals.
Could these Mechanical Construct before us also be weapons of the Empire? If so, then the Night Raid and the Rebel Army Alliance are in even greater danger.
At this moment, Brood already regarded the Svarog in front of him as a Teigu.
Ordinary Mechanical Construct don't possess such power; only Imperial Arms could possibly match it. As for the fact that Imperial Arms is in the form of a robot, that's perfectly normal.
In addition to various weapons and everyday items, Imperial Arms also exist for animals, humanoid creatures, and Mechanical Construct.
There's nothing that Imperial Arms doesn't exist, only things you can't imagine...
Currently, they know of fewer than twenty Imperial Arms, but the Empire once possessed a total of 48 Imperial Arms, half of which have been lost.
Those lucky ones might actually obtain those missing Imperial Arms.
That is the power of Preservation, originating from the destiny of the King of Amber...
Svarog answered truthfully.
"Preservation? King of Amber?"
What is that? A legendary Danger Beast?
Just as Brood was about to continue asking questions, Clara walked over.
Looking at the barefoot girl with white Akame, Brood finally noticed that there was such a girl here.
He had been focusing all his attention on Svarog.
What's going on with this girl?
However, before he could think too much about it, he quickly figured it out.
"Mr. Svarog ..."
The girl walked to Svarog's side, looking at Brood in front of her, then at Akame and Leone beside him. She hadn't expected to subdue these three so easily!
At this point, we had a general understanding of the strength of the Imperial Arms users.
Although there are no weak Imperial Arms, only weak Imperial Arm users, the power of an Imperial Arm often depends on the user's talent.
For example, if Incursio by Tatsumi, it can evolve a second or third time, relying on his will.
However, Akame and the other two also represent the power of Teigu users under normal circumstances, even if they haven't used their Teigu's trump cards or Secret Technique...
In short, it seems that apart from those few Imperial Arms with bizarre abilities, there's nothing to worry about for the other Imperial Arms users.
Even those strange Imperial Arms will be fine as long as they are protected by the Preservation.
Clara.
Upon seeing Clara approach, Svarog immediately displayed a side that shouldn't be seen in mechanical beings.
The appearance of an old father...
"..."
Brood was surprised by Svarog's reaction. Could this Mechanical Construct called Svarog be the Teigu of this seemingly weak little girl in front of him?
I was actually defeated by the Imperial Arms of such a little girl...
