" Lin Feng... you are... wrong..."
The person in front of him looked exactly like Lin Feng, but his temperament, expression, and demeanor were somewhat different from the real Lin Feng.
Sure enough, just as everyone was wondering, the person in front of them suddenly transformed into another appearance with a burst of white mist.
With her pinkish-orange hair, the playful plaid skirt typical of school days, delicate makeup, and headphones, this girl, seemingly completely out of place on the battlefield, suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Sorry to joke around like this... I'm Chelsea ~"
It was Chelsea. Seeing her calm and composed face, everyone calmed down.
" Chelsea... we've completed our mission!"
Kurome murmured to Chelsea.
Previously, when invading the Imperial Capital Palace, the Kurome ' " Jaegers " unit was instructed to follow the given orders. Their main task was to assassinate General Budo of the Imperial Capital, while the task of assassinating Honest was to be completed by the entire " Night Raid " team. Lin Feng and Chelsea were responsible for dealing with Bols and Esdeath.
In fact, from the very beginning, no one had high expectations for whether Lin Feng and Chelsea could complete the mission.
It was obvious that Honest was considered by everyone to be weak and easily assassinated, but the truth was as Lin Feng had predicted—he was very strong, so strong that he had to use Magatama Manifestation and Berserk to barely contend with him.
Although General Budo is quite powerful, Kurome's Teigu can instantly bring a huge numerical advantage, and the ' Jaegers's ' squad has a unique advantage in assassination due to their identity, so they have a good chance of succeeding.
As for Lin Feng's mission, everyone knows that Lin Feng once fought against Esdeath, and the outcome was decided almost by a slight disadvantage.
Even Lin Feng couldn't defeat Esdeath, and Esdeath's strength was not static at all. This terrifying woman was getting stronger almost every second, and her strength left the members of ' Night Raid ' with an indelible nightmare.
"Very good, very good -- if General Budo is taken down, everything will be much easier, after all, his location tracking ability is just too..."
Chelsea hesitated for a moment, then looked at Najenda, who seemed to look ashamed.
Despite having a larger fighting force than the Jaegers Unit, they still failed to assassinate Honest.
Compared to Kurome and the others, Najenda felt that she was not a competent leader and even had no face to meet Lin Feng, who had entrusted her with the task.
This expression on Najenda's face was easily noticeable not only by Chelsea, who was adept at reading people, but even by an outsider.
"Don't be discouraged, Najenda, you've done a great job. Our purpose in sending you to assassinate them was to force them to reveal their true intentions, and you've perfectly completed your mission!"
"But..."
Looking at the current state of the Machine God, Najenda felt a deep sense of despair.
Even when facing overwhelming odds, Najenda was never afraid, but how could she possibly command her already weakened teammates to continue fighting?!
Is there really any way to salvage the current situation?
"Let's leave it to Lin Feng. I trust him."
"Give it to him—one person?"
"That's what he told me, right?"
Chelsea looked at Najenda, nodded, and smiled.
[ Alucard Template, host, Lin Feng.]
[Current experience points: 82.85]
[Experience points are steadily increasing...]
The battle with Esdeath brought me far more gains than I had imagined.
Meanwhile, the shadows continued to devour the ever-reinforcing Imperial Guard, the boy's expression remained solemn, and he remained silent.
A gigantic mechanical foot was about to crash down.
The ever-growing Akame shadow covering Akame and Tatsumi continued to rise and spread, seemingly about to devour Tatsumi.
Normally, Akame could easily escape with Tatsumi by simply lifting her feet, but now, Akame simply doesn't have that much power.
The pain in his feet was excruciating, like being torn apart. His body was recovering far slower than his nerves. If this continued, he might end up being crushed into mincemeat along with Tatsumi on his shoulder by this Machine God.
Akame planted the 'Demon Sword Murasame ' on the ground, then raised it high, preparing for a final, desperate stand.
Perhaps only in this way can he buy himself as much time as possible before he dies—if someone can rescue Tatsumi, then he will have died a worthy death.
The massive foot sank down, instantly piercing into the Akame's longsword.
Although the sword was incredibly sharp, it lacked the sharpness of jade, and in terms of thickness, it posed no threat to the giant.
This was something Akame already knew perfectly well.
However, Akame did not sense any further movement from the giant afterward.
Its massive body seemed to freeze, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became even more gloomy and deep.
Despite it being daytime, it felt as dark as night, which was extremely eerie.
"What's going on... My sword shouldn't be this hard..."
It's utterly absurd that a single demonic sword could stop the robot's legs from moving.
Akame stared intently—
From all directions, like a support, it wrapped around the demon sword, constantly exerting upward force.
That wasn't the power of some demonic sword, but rather countless dense black shadows that were constantly supporting the Machine God's joints, causing it to stop moving.
"This is..."
Although completely confused, Akame immediately carried Tatsumi on her back and walked outside.
With each step she took, the world before Akame's eyes became clearer and clearer.
In the brief moment when light and shadow intertwined, Akame finally remembered what the shadow's true form was.
It was a power she had encountered long ago, a powerful force that she once felt could not possibly belong to this world.
After running for an unknown distance, Akame put Tatsumi down and saw Najenda and her teammates rushing towards her.
Lubbock and Lan were still on the ground, unable to get up, in the distance. It seemed that their teammates were in worse condition than they had imagined.
In a state of extreme exhaustion and weakness, Akame gradually lost consciousness in a very short time.
"What happened? Why has the Machine God stopped operating?"
Honest asked the young emperor, puzzled, but received a reply that he knew nothing.
It was a pity to let the members of " Night Raid " escape right under our noses, but they were already at their last gasp.
That was his initial thought, but then the minister found it difficult to maintain a relaxed expression.
