Koizumi muttered to himself as the unique power of a vampire began to burst forth from his body.
If it came to a battle, Koizumi wouldn't hesitate at all. Moreover, this was also a chance for him to hone his combat experience. Akame undoubtedly had a wealth of combat experience, and fighting her would yield many benefits.
----
When Koizumi approached the base where Akahime and Tatsumi were, Akahime was sitting on the ground quietly eating barbecue.
Now is a rare leisure time, she can't miss it, otherwise she may not have the chance in the future.
Although servants don't need to eat, this doesn't mean that Akame doesn't like barbecue.
A foodie is still a foodie after all... there's nothing you can do about it...
Akame seems to be eating with great enthusiasm. During the [Night Raid], Koizumi had fully realized her foodie nature. And Kurome is also a big foodie... These two sisters really have inherited this aspect...
The next moment, Akame seemed to have sensed something, and her right hand subconsciously grasped the [Kiri Ichimonji] at her waist.
There was a strong sense of vigilance in Chi Tong's eyes. He couldn't let his guard down at this moment.
"It's me, Akagi..."
Slowly, a figure appeared in front of Akame. Looking closely, it was Tatsumi wearing the armor imperial weapon [Devil Haunted·Armor Operation].
[Evil Ghost Haunting Armor Operation] is an armor-like imperial weapon crafted from the ferocious, dangerous dragon-like creature "Tyrande (Thailand)." It possesses impenetrable defensive power. However, it places a heavy burden on the wearer, killing any ordinary wearer. Furthermore, Tyrande, the creator of the armor, survived, adapting its size to the wearer's body and continuously evolving.
"Tatsumi!" A look of surprise suddenly appeared in Akame's eyes.
Chapter 150 The Situation in the Imperial Capital
"Tatsumi!" A look of surprise suddenly appeared in Akame's eyes.
Akame has been following Tatsumi since she met him. No... it should be said that Tatsumi has been following Akame. The two of them act together. After all, they were comrades-in-arms before, so it is very convenient for them to act together. There is no need to worry about tacit understanding. Both sides know each other's abilities and personalities inside and out, and they can be said to be the best partners.
"Are you back from the Imperial Capital? How was it? Are there any problems?"
Akame is more concerned about the things happening in the imperial capital, but there is no need to worry about whether anything will happen to Tatsumi.
Tatsumi is very powerful, and now he is worthy of the title of general.
Akame, who has witnessed Tatsumi's growth, is the most qualified to judge how powerful Tatsumi is at this moment.
Moreover, when he was alive, Akame believed that Tatsumi could become a general-level talent. Brand also said that Tatsumi had a strong comprehension ability, and as long as he was trained strictly, he would become a man who surpassed himself in the future.
The current Tatsumi has completely met their original expectations, and it can even be said that he has far exceeded their expectations.
"Things are still the same in the imperial capital, but there was a battle in the imperial palace just now. There were lightning and thunder over there. If I'm not mistaken, it should be..." Tatsumi paused here, but Akame understood what Tatsumi wanted to express. There is only one person in the world who can use the power of thunder and lightning, and in the imperial palace.
"General...Bude..." A trace of solemnity appeared in Chitong's red eyes.
Even if he used all his strength, it would still be very difficult to kill General Bud head-on.
After all, General Bud's Teigu is an armored Teigu, which is the same type as Tatsumi's Teigu. The most troublesome thing about the armored Teigu is that it is difficult to cause effective scars, and Akame's Teigu [One-Hit Kill·Murasame] and Minister's Teigu [Kiri Ichimonji] must hit the opponent to cause effective damage, or even kill the opponent, but if they cannot leave scars on the opponent, their own Teigu is equivalent to being useless. Therefore, Akame finds it very difficult to deal with this type of Akame.
Compared to General Bud, Akame would rather have a showdown with Esdeath, after all, the other party doesn't have such troublesome things.
If Esdeath is hit by [One Hit Kill·Murasame] or [Kiri Ichimonji], she will also be hit.
If General Budd was hit, it would probably only leave a mark on [Thunder God's Advent·Admiral]. If the damage wasn't high enough, it's estimated that not even a mark would be left...
"But who was the man who fought against General Bud? Have you found out?"
Compared to why General Bud was fighting the enemy in the Imperial Palace, Chi Tong was more curious about who Bud was fighting against.
There is no way. Now the combat power of Akadoshi's side is too low, so Akadoshi also hopes that more servants can stand on her side and fight against the empire with her. At least in this way, her chances of winning will be much better.
Although Akame is very confident in her own strength, she also knows Tatsumi's strength very well.
But self-confidence is not arrogance. Akame is not Esdeath, who gets more excited the more powerful enemies she has.
She was very clear about her current situation. She was currently wanted by the empire. She might be chased to exhaustion by the empire's people before she met the mastermind behind the scenes. She didn't want to encounter such a thing, not to mention that she knew someone in the empire.
Just like when Tatsumi was fighting before, he actually encountered Brand. This is not a good sign...
It’s not a pleasant feeling to meet people you are familiar with and have to fight with them.
Chi Tong can be cold-blooded and kill all the enemies he meets one by one, but if possible, Chi Tong still does not want to be hostile to his former friends and comrades. Chi Tong is just avoiding unnecessary things.
"No... After all, it's in the Imperial Palace, and it's not easy for me to get in, so I can only watch from the outside... But I can feel that it's not a power from this world, and since we're fighting against General Bud, we don't have to worry about him becoming our enemy..." Tatsumi said as he reasoned.
Akame frowned slightly. What Tatsumi said made sense. Since they were fighting against General Bud in the Imperial Palace, there was no need to worry that the other party was on the side of the Empire. Moreover, it was a good thing for them to have a mysterious force holding back the Empire. However, if possible, Akame still wanted to make contact with the other party.
This way, at least you can understand the other party's intentions and then formulate corresponding strategies, which is also what the boss often does.
Akame now more or less understands the hard work the boss put into formulating the battle strategy...
"That's true... The people of the Imperial Capital are so fanatical about the Empire, and the Imperial Capital Guard is so strict in patrolling the Empire, that even sneaking into the Imperial Capital is difficult, let alone entering the Imperial Palace to investigate..."
Having said that, Chi Tong couldn't help but sigh. The current situation was really not good.
The only one who can enter the Imperial Capital is Tatsumi, but if the other party is also a Heroic Spirit from this world, then he must know Tatsumi. Once recognized, Tatsumi will not be able to continue collecting intelligence in the Imperial Capital.
And even if we can enter the imperial capital, the scope of our search is very limited...
Chi Tong couldn't help but sigh. The current situation was really bad.
What should I do next? Where is the Koizumi that woman mentioned? Or... is the man fighting General Bud actually Koizumi? This strange thought inexplicably surfaced in Akame's mind.
Although there was no evidence, Akahima believed that her intuition was still very accurate.
But how could he contact Koizumi? The key was that the woman hadn't given him any contact information. If he had a way to contact her, everything would be much easier.
"Akadome, what should we do next?" Tatsumi looked at Akado.
It was obvious that Tatsumi mainly followed Akame's opinion, and he also knew that he was not good at making battle plans.
Compared to himself, Chi Tong has more experience, so he won't suffer any loss if he follows Chi Tong's opinion.
Akame couldn't help but feel a headache, but since Tatsumi had asked, then—
Suddenly, Akame and Tatsumi seemed to sense something. They looked at each other at the same time and then their gazes turned to the forest in front of the mountains.
——Someone broke in here!
Chapter 151 Intruder
"How could someone break in here? Could it be that General Bud and the others guessed that we would be here?"
A stern look appeared on Tatsumi's face. He did not think that he had led people here because he was careless when he left the imperial capital, because Tatsumi was not such a careless person, and the only one who could escape Tatsumi's perception was probably Assassin. However, according to what Akame and Tatsumi knew, the Empire did not have any servants with the Assassin job.
Therefore, Tatsumi was able to conclude that this was definitely not something he brought here, but something that came later.
What Tatsumi couldn't understand was why there was only one person on the other side. According to his and Akame's perception, there was only one person on the opposite side, but this person's strength was not bad. At least Tatsumi didn't dare to underestimate the other party.
Tatsumi's eyes stared at the red eyes in front of him, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
"Akagiri, who do you think rushed here? Could it be the imperial army?"
At this time, it would be better to ask Chi Tong who is beside him. After all, Chi Tong is very reliable, isn't he?
Moreover, in terms of logical reasoning ability, Akagi is obviously better than himself and more experienced than himself.
"I don't think it's from the Empire. If it were, they wouldn't be a Servant, but an army... And General Bud, as the last barrier of the Imperial Capital, is unlikely to be dispatched personally... So, the people who came aren't from the Imperial Capital, but someone else... But who would come here at this time?"
This forest outside the imperial capital is rarely visited by people. The reason why [NIGHTRAID] chose to establish a base here was also due to its own considerations. That is, few people come here, so establishing a base in this place can serve as a concealment. Unfortunately, precisely because of this sparsely populated area, it was eventually discovered.
Back to the topic, Chi Tong felt the breath coming from the forest and frowned slightly.
"He should be a human, not a Servant, but he has a faint aura of a Servant..."
At this point, Akame was already at a loss for words about the other person. A human being actually exuding the aura of a Servant, quite strange, wasn't it... Could it be that the other person descended in a human body? But how was this different from a Servant taking on flesh? However, this also seemed a little off... After all, the Servant's aura on the other person was far too weak.
It's too weak... This Servant's aura... Akame couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Anyway, let's go over and take a look and we'll know... Whether it's a friend or an enemy, we can just use this to test it..."
As he said this, Akame tightened his grip on the [Kiri Ichimonji] at his waist, a cold aura emanating from him.
Such a chilling aura made Tatsumi beside him feel a little solemn. As expected of Akame... Even for me now, facing Akame with such strength, it would be difficult to compete head-on... Unless I use a Noble Phantasm...
However, Tatsumi only thought so in his mind. After all, they were all comrades and there was no need to fight.
"Let's go... Tatsumi, let's go meet him... We'll know if he's a friend or a foe after a try!"
As he spoke, Akame headed towards the forest, and Tatsumi followed closely behind.
At this moment, Tatsumi has not yet released the state of [Devil Haunted·Operation Armor]. After all, he just came back and has not even had the chance to remove the armor. Who would have known that someone would suddenly break into the forest, and the other party is quite powerful.
"This person..." After arriving in the forest, Akame was slightly startled when she saw Koizumi's appearance.
What's going on? Why does she feel that the other person looks familiar, but she shouldn't know him...
Recalling her memories before death, Chi Tong frowned slightly. She was sure of one thing, that she had never seen the other person before, but for some reason, she felt that the other person looked very familiar.
Maybe it’s because the face shape looks familiar... Akagi gave herself this reason in her heart.
After all, I have met so many people, it’s just that the other person’s face shape is very similar to someone I met in my previous life.
Perhaps he had left a deep impression on him, so when he saw Koizumi's face shape, he immediately thought of him.
But who was the specific person who left the deepest impression on her... Akame said she couldn't remember...
Well, to put it bluntly, it’s just an excuse for myself, otherwise how could I forget the other person?
Slowly, Akame pulled out the [Kiri Ichimonji] from his waist a little bit, and a cold light suddenly burst out from it.
She didn't plan to use her [One-Hit Kill·Murasame] right away because there was really no need to do so.
When you don't know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, you can only confirm it in this way.
Because just talking won't convince yourself or the other party, so let the winner decide the right to speak.
When did I actually choose to do the same thing as Esdeath... Akame couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The strong decide everything... This is Esdeath's philosophy, the so-called survival of the fittest...
Akame did not deny Esdeath's idea, because she had to admit that the world was indeed like this.
But the new empire cannot have someone like Esdeath, no matter what, because Esdeath is the absolute implementer of this concept. Someone like her will only bring chaos to the new empire, not peace.
So before her rebirth, she couldn't coexist peacefully with Esdeath... Unfortunately, it's still the same now...
Chi Tong couldn't help but shook her head, trying to put aside all the nonsense in her mind. She was fighting now and couldn't think about these things... She had to focus all her attention on this man.
“—I’m about to—”
The next moment, a cold light flashed in Chi Tong's eyes. At the same time, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, a knife light seemed to compress the space and turned into a flash of aurora and went towards Gu Quan.
Koizumi walked silently in the forest, seemingly casually, but in fact, he was not relaxed at all.
He was very clear that he was being targeted, and the ones targeting him were probably Akame and the other remaining Servant.
If I let my guard down here, I'm afraid Murasame will kill me instantly with one sword.
Koizumi doesn't want to try Murasame's cursed poison.
but--
The blade flashed like an aurora before Koizumi's eyes, and a sense of danger suddenly arose in Koizumi's heart.
At the same time, a certain power quietly erupted from within Koizumi's body...
That power belongs to——
“——[Dream Talisman·Double Barrier]!”
Chapter 152 Fighting
“——[Dream Talisman·Double Barrier]!”
The next moment, a crimson glow blocked the incoming sword light. Almost at the same time, the scarlet light gathered into a spear in Guquan's hand. A mighty wave of air burst out from under Guquan's feet. Guquan simply released the magic power in his body. The magic power shook the space and the air wave that erupted directly blew Chitong away.
It was indeed Akame, but the weapon in Akame's hand was not Murasame... But Koizumi could sense that the weapon in the other party's hand was also a so-called Noble Phantasm, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should be a Noble Phantasm of anti-human specifications.
But what's strange is that Koizumi hasn't seen the Noble Phantasm in his hand. Could it be the Teigu from before he became a member of Night Raid? No, if it were a Teigu, Akame should have used it until now. After all, Teigu aren't that easily broken, so if I'm guessing correctly, it's not a so-called Teigu.
But even if it wasn't Murasame, one must be careful. After all, no weapon in this world is easy to deal with. And since it can become the Noble Phantasm of Akame, who has been elevated to a Heroic Spirit, then it is definitely not a simple weapon.
"We have to be careful... After all, our enemy now... is Akame..."
In [NIGHTRAID], if we only talk about combat power, then there is no doubt that Brand is the strongest, followed by Akame. However, if we talk about comprehensive combat power, then there is no doubt that Akame is the most powerful.
Therefore, Koizumi thought it would be difficult to defeat Akado in front of him, not to mention... there was more than just Akado here.
Then, he heard a series of sounds of breaking through the air, and a figure in armor appeared beside him, swinging the [Red-backed Shrike] in his hand towards him without hesitation.
Just the sound of the other party's sword breaking through the air was enough to give Koizumi a headache.
Are you serious? If this hits me in the head, my brains will explode...
