After five days of relaxing in a coastal town, Su Xiao returned to Reincarnation Paradise and learned he would soon enter the dangerous Akame ga Kill! world. He considered the world’s Imperial Arms and conflict between the Empire and the rebels as he prepared for the next Derivative World.

Su Xiao entered the frozen northern border of the Akame ga Kill! world, where he received a mission to obtain the activation key for the Empire’s strongest Imperial Arm. He planned to infiltrate the Empire and approach the Little Emperor, then headed toward a border fortress as the story left him at its neglected city wall.

• The Empire’s five-hundred-thousand-strong army occupied the Extreme North Fortress, though illness and the cold had left only a fraction fit to fight.

• Najenda assigned Brand and Tatsumi to one team and Akame and Lubbock to another, while Leone was told to investigate Esdeath; Ivan supplied Walkie-Talkies so the teams could call for reinforcements.

• Su Xiao approached Esdeath, noticed Leone, and watched her flee after she sensed his gaze.
• Su Xiao drew Dragon Slayer Flash and went after Leone, while Esdeath told him to support the Three Beasts after killing the “little cat.”

Su Xiao tracked Leone through the swamp and confronted her after she fired a flare. He revealed that he knew her identity, then opened their fight by severing half of her claw with Dragon Slayer Flash.

After Leone survived a brutal fight with Su Xiao, she warned Lubbock not to challenge him alone and sent him to support the others at the harbor. There, Brand, Akame, Mine, and Tatsumi regrouped after defeating the Three Beasts, but Su Xiao arrived and confronted them.

• Lubbock stitched Leone’s severed arm back on, but she begged him not to pursue Su Xiao because he had overwhelmed her and would kill him.
• Leone realized Su Xiao was connected to Esdeath and warned that he might target the Luxury Cruise, so Lubbock left to support the team while Leone stayed behind, badly wounded by lingering electricity.
