Arc 5The Blood Covenant
Lin Feng staged Night Raid’s deaths and turned Najenda, Akame, Leone, and Mine into vampires, then gathered allies for a coming strike against Honest. As his forces moved into position, Chelsea killed Bols and Lin Feng began a direct fight with Esdeath.
- Lubbock trapped Cosmina with his threads, but Lin Feng’s shadow illusion incapacitated her, allowing Lubbock to kill her while Leone and Mine helped defeat Enshin with Seryu’s support.
- Lin Feng told Night Raid he had spared Syura to frame them for Wild Hunt’s deaths, then arranged a staged capture and asked the group to accept vampirism to escape Honest’s retaliation.
- Lin Feng presented the apparently dead Night Raid members to Honest and the palace officials, then revived them at his residence as vampires before explaining that they would remain hidden and work with him.
- Honest transferred command of the Jaegers back to Esdeath and ordered her to monitor Lin Feng, while Lin Feng secretly listened and learned that the minister was moving against him.
- Wave joined Lin Feng’s side and helped reveal that Night Raid had survived, and he also brought Kurome to see Akame, who urged her to choose between Lin Feng’s reformists and the corrupt ministers.
- Lin Feng prepared his forces to attack, Seryu joined them, and Kurome agreed to take part while withholding her condition until after the mission.
- Chelsea assassinated Bols by poisoning him after disguising herself as a little girl, and Lin Feng lured Esdeath to the meeting room where she found Bols’s corpse.
- Esdeath chose not to expose Lin Feng to Honest and challenged him to fight, and Lin Feng transformed into a shadow and attacked, while Esdeath countered with ice and froze his wrist before he shattered the ice.
