Chapter 140: A Promising Future
"So it's you, brat. I let you get away last time, and you still dared to come back. Delightful, delightful! You boasted about taking my Imperial Arms, so let's see you try!" Staring at the approaching Akame, Zank laughed in delight before walking toward her with a cruel expression.
Having fought him once before, Akame emptied her mind this time, completely cutting off any possibility of having her thoughts read.
Unable to see through Akame's thoughts with Mind Reading, Zank's expression darkened. "In that case, let's test the power of Illusion Vision! This is truly... delightful, delightful!"
As he spoke, the Imperial Arms on Zank's forehead opened its eye and directly unleashed the power of Illusion Vision on Akame.
The next instant, Zank vanished from Akame's sight, replaced by the person she cared about most—her younger sister, Kurotama.
At that moment, Kurotama looked at her happily, a sweet smile on her face as she called out, "Sister!"
"Kurotama!"
Even though Akame had already known about Omniscient Vision [The Watcher]'s Illusion Vision ability and had prepared herself, seeing her younger sister's lifelike, sweet smile still stirred her emotions.
The coldness on her face softened slightly.
Zank was currently approaching Akame slowly with a short blade lowered at his side, a bloodthirsty smile on his face that sent chills down one's spine. But from Akame's perspective, it was not Zank before her at all. It was her younger sister Kurotama, holding a bag of snacks and happily drawing closer, even habitually offering her some food.
Akame looked gently at the "Kurotama" before her. No one loved her younger sister more than she did. Yet when Kurotama came within three or four meters of her, Akame's expression returned to its former coldness, and her aura surged once more!
