Cruel, Taunting Smile!
"Both of them were moving too fast."
Hidden on the edge of Masora Town, on the rooftop of a building, Mine holds the Teigu 'Romantic Turret Pumpkin,' which resembles a fantastical gun.
She squinted, staring intently at the two afterimages locked in a fierce battle amidst the Huoguang in the distance, but hesitated to pull the trigger on 'Pumpkin'.
When Akame was fighting and retreating, barely managing to hold on despite her best efforts, she could still help with long-range sniping.
But starting just now, Akame and her opponent were getting closer and closer in their fight, and the sounds of clashing swords were becoming more and more frequent.
In this situation, if I were to fire again, it would easily affect Akame.
On the other side.
As he continuously unleashed various sword techniques of 'Flame Breathing,' the Thunder Blade that unleashed bursts of fire grew increasingly alarmed. The expression on his face as he looked at Akame, hidden behind his blue and yellow mask, was now completely overshadowed by shock.
"How... how is this possible? This guy seems to be using Armament Haki?"
"Wrong!"
"She's using Armament Haki!!"
Akame remained expressionless, her mind completely absorbed in the battle. In a mysterious state, she repeatedly clashed and collided with the Thunder Blade, sparks flashing in the air.
Her current speed is so great that she leaves Shadow Clone, like a dozen people besieging a ball of fire, making for a very exciting scene.
However, Akame was no longer overly wary of those flames that combined reality and illusion.
Because she had naturally mastered the ability to condense her own aura into 'Formless armor' during the intense battle.
At the same time.
Akame continued to Imitation Magic Thunder Blade's use of this ability, wrapping it around her body and onto the ' Murasame in her hand to withstand the opponent's high-temperature flames.
This opened up a new world for her.
Akame truly hadn't expected that the aura emanating from her body could be used in this way.
Before this, these top-tier experts only used their aura to release it as an imposing force or killing intent to intimidate others, or to sense the aura of others over a wide area.
This made her more and more excited as she fought, and the blade she swung became increasingly swift and sharp.
As the river of time flowed past the two amidst the clanging and clattering sounds, Akame began to counter the Thunder Blade, forcing it to use defensive sword techniques to parry and deflect attacks.
[Pfft----]
Just as the setting sun was about to disappear below the horizon, desperately offering the world its last ray of sunlight, Murasame's blade sliced across Thunder Blade's neck.
This time, the latter was no longer unharmed; a splatter of hot blood shot out.
"Cough! You actually coughed--, look, you saw through my movements, could it be that..."
In the end, Thunder Blade couldn't bring himself to say anything, and collapsed to the ground in disbelief, clutching his bleeding neck.
Akame looked down at the corpse and said thoughtfully in a low voice, "You saw through my movements? Indeed, just a moment ago, I think I sensed your next attack trajectory."
At that moment, no one noticed that the blood-stained 'Murasame' in her hand emitted a hazy purple light, which only returned to normal after the blood belonging to the Thunder Blade disappeared from the blade.
"Akame! Akame!"
Mine, carrying the 'Pumpkin,' rushed over and anxiously looked Akame up and down, asking worriedly, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"I was definitely injured, after all, this person is really strong. I don't know how many times I've been in mortal danger. But the Physical Arts of the Imperial Fist Temple are very useful, at least I don't have to worry about blood loss."
Akame glanced at the numerous cuts and burns on her body, then smiled nonchalantly at Mine.
"That's good. Our mission is now complete. Next, we need to return to White Horse Town to protect Captain Sabatini on his way back to the Imperial Capital. I'll accompany you to the hospital then."
Mine breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Akame was indeed alright.
"Well, but before that, let's bury these secret agents properly first, and then take this person back too!" Akame nodded, then looked at Thunder Blade's corpse and said softly.
Corpses can sometimes provide a lot of information.
"Also, I have some things to report back to."
Akame raised her head and gazed into the starry night sky with her deep red eyes. A gust of cold wind blew by, causing her black hair to sway and dance.
She realized that her newly acquired aura abilities would definitely be a great help to the Empire in its fight against the World Government.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Snow Region.
Douglas Bullet's 10,000-strong main battle division and 10,000- Auxiliary Corps, including heavy tanks, armored personnel carriers, and vehicle-mounted howitzers, have arrived one kilometer away from the Seka Fortress.
"Vice Admiral 'Demon Shark'!"
Charlotte Oven quickly led the two Rear Admiral behind him, who were brigade commanders, to meet them.
Although he was also Vice Admiral, Bullet not only held the title of Army Admiral Candidate, but was also the front-line commander of this corps, so he should be treated with respect.
However, given Oven's fierce, even somewhat fiery, personality, this is the best he can do. Any further humility or even flattery is out of the question.
Fortunately, Bullet was also the kind of iron-blooded general, so he liked Oven as a subordinate and was even thinking that once he was promoted to Army General, he would bring Owen into his 'Second Main Battle Legion'.
Oh, and that Onigumo too.
So Bullet gave Oven a smile that looked more like a sneer.
"Thank you for your hard work. After I take the city, you can lead the Auxiliary Corps westward. Oh, and here's some intelligence about Alchemists and alchemy."
As he spoke, he took a document out of the pocket of his black coat and handed it to Oven.
This is important intelligence that the Otherworld Strategy Committee obtained from Modai, whom Tengen Uzui captured. It's not much, but it gives us a general understanding of Alchemists' combat style and the basic concepts of alchemy.
"Yes!"
Charlotte Oven solemnly accepted the intelligence document, then silently Earth Flow aside and immediately began to read it, which made Bullet even more impressed.
Giving such a good general to that Akainu would be a huge waste, wouldn't it?
Thirty minutes later.
While the 20,000 troops who had just arrived were still resting, Douglas Bullet walked alone through the Yubashiri the Seka Fortress.
The fierce wind and snow were like a gentle breeze, unable to shake his massive, five-meter-tall frame in the slightest; at most, they made his black coat whistle in the wind.
This scene was naturally witnessed by the defenders on the city wall, who immediately aimed their cannons at it.
At this time, there were no strong individuals in the Kase City that could shoulder the responsibility.
After all, Governor Numa was dead, and Zhu Tian, the 'Rakshasa' of the Imperial Fist Temple, had also fled back to the Imperial Capital. So now several captains were jointly commanding tens of thousands of 'defeated troops' in the city.
All the slightly higher-ranking generals had already perished in Oven's inferno.
"Fire! Fire!"
"Blast that monster to death right now!!"
Today, Captain Puwen, who was on duty guarding the city wall, saw a Titans slowly approaching from afar and hurriedly shouted to fire the cannons.
Although he didn't know how another Titans he'd never seen before had appeared, after witnessing Oven's Fire God abilities, he really didn't dare let the giant get close.
Soon, the booming sound of artillery fire resounded throughout the city again, and Bullet revealed a cruel, mocking smile.
To prevent any further questions, let me briefly explain: experts in the Akame World can indeed unleash their aura and killing intent.
They can even sense presence or killing intent beyond their line of sight. Esdeath can even close her eyes and sense the location and movements of those around her by sensing their presence.
Besides.
The Awakening and Haki of Haki in battles against those who Haki it is also part of the original concept of One Piece. 'Fire Fist' Ace Haki on his own during a battle with a Marine Vice Admiral, unlike Luffy who needed someone to teach him.
Of course, someone who can do this must have extremely high talent.
