Koizumi couldn't help but grumble inwardly. Even so, he knew the opponent was aware of his strength, so he had no intention of letting him go. After all, letting someone who was already quite strong go easy on him was the easiest way to accidentally kill him. What if the opponent was an enemy? Then he'd be the one to die.
Seeing that the opponent had used all his strength, Gu Quan did not intend to hold back any longer. After all, the opponent had used all his strength, right?
If the other party really treats you as an enemy, then you will be the one in trouble.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!! ...
The moment Gungnir was swung, the scarlet magic power seemed to scorch the surrounding air, causing the temperature to rise. Akame and Tatsumi around couldn't help but frown slightly, and began to sweat.
Then, a scarlet light flashed by, and a hint of surprise flashed in Akahima's eyes. The [Kiri Ichimonji] in his hand was swung out quickly. The moment the knife light and the scarlet light intertwined, bursts of metal collision sounds were heard from it.
Akame couldn't help but grit her teeth and took a few steps back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tatsumi quickly stepped forward to hold him back.
Tatsumi has already seen that Koizumi's strength is superior to Akame's. That's right...it's just strength.
Just now during the fight, Akahime, who was fighting head-on with Koizumi, was directly forced back by Koizumi. This was enough to prove the fact that Akahime's strength was not as good as Koizumi's, so it was him, the man, who needed to stand up.
The strength of [vampires] is much more terrifying than that of humans, not to mention that it is still night time.
That's right, it's not even night yet, and Koizumi's power is still being amplified by the darkness.
Attack power and defense power are significantly improved... If this were a game, then this would undoubtedly be displayed on the interface.
However... facing Tatsumi in front of him, Koizumi felt an unusual headache. Most of his attacks were actually dissolved, and the armor and imperial weapon on the opponent actually helped him offset most of the damage.
My attacks barely left any marks on the opponent, as if the damage I had inflicted on him had been significantly reduced. Was it the effect of his Noble Phantasm? That was a possibility, after all, it was an Imperial Armor.
If the armor becomes the opponent's Noble Phantasm after ascending to a Heroic Spirit... then this armor should also have a damage reduction effect... And if this armor is particularly good, the damage reduction effect will be terrifying... At least Koizumi's current attack has been weakened by at least half...
"What a terrifying damage reduction effect... And if I'm not mistaken, this imperial weapon is..."
Looking at the opponent before him, Koizumi's pupils suddenly shrank. He knew this imperial weapon, and he also knew its owner.
Brand, the Hundred-Man Slayer... Like Koizumi, he's now affiliated with Night Raid... Is the other Servant Doremi mentioned Brand?... If it's Brand, it's certainly reassuring...
While Brand's sexual orientation does seem to have some issues, there's no doubt that he's a reliable teammate. However... Koizumi feels like his fighting style isn't quite like the Brand he knows...
"Imperial Tool [Evil Ghost Haunting, Operation Armor]... Are you Brand, the Imperial Tool Master and Hundred-Man Slayer?"
Koizumi felt that he needed to speak up, and that it was necessary to test the waters.
Although the other party might not continue to answer him, there is no doubt that since he is wearing the armor imperial weapon [Demon Haunted Operation Armor], he is definitely related to Brand, the Hundred-Man Killer. Koizumi is certain of this.
Tatsumi's movements couldn't help but pause, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face under the armor.
Even Akame couldn't help but stop her actions. She was originally planning to rush over to help Tatsumi, but she heard what the other party said. The tone of the other party's words was a little wrong. Could it be that he knew Brand?
"You know Big Brother..."
Tatsumi's words made Koizumi startled slightly, and his movements slowed down.
He called Brand "Big Brother"? Does that mean Brand gave this imperial weapon to him later?
After all, Brand was the master of [Evil Ghost Haunting: Armor Operation], and unless Brand was killed, the imperial weapon could not be taken away. And it was obvious that Akame would not act together with someone who killed her comrades, and what she said also explained something...
But then again, when did that gay guy Brand actually have a little brother?
Besides, shouldn’t gay men take in male lovers?
Chapter 153 Confession (Part 1)
"My name is Koizumi, and I'm currently working with Night Raid. Thank you for your guidance, as this is our first meeting."
Well... after Koizumi said this and saw the Command Seal on the back of Koizumi's hand, Akame already believed Koizumi for the most part. Because, combined with what Doremi had said to Akame before and the memories given to her when she was summoned, this Koizumi should be a Master, and most likely the Master of Doremi who saved her.
Of course, Akame didn't know Doremi's name, and she didn't know much about Doremi.
She only knew that the other party might be an enemy of the empire, otherwise there would be no need to remind herself.
After all, with the strength of the empire, if they knew the whereabouts of Akagi, there would be no need to do this.
You know, the strength of the empire itself is very terrifying, and General Bud's strength is enough to crush himself. Even if he uses all his strength, or even risks his life to fight, Chi Tong still cannot match General Bud.
Therefore, Akagi was very clear about one thing, that is, there was absolutely no need for the empire to get involved in all these unnecessary things.
If that's the case, then the other party should be an enemy of the empire...if I'm not mistaken.
Then Doremi's Master should also be an enemy of the Empire, but I don't know why the other side has a Master.
Akame still had no idea about the origins of this Master, but at least she could trust him.
However... this Master actually possesses such formidable strength, and is accompanied by the Servant Doremi...
It's really not simple... Akagi couldn't help but look at Koizumi deeply, with a gleam of light flashing in his pair of red eyes.
However, after seeing the barbecue, Akame completely forgot all about it... This is really...
Koizumi couldn't help but let out a helpless smile, scratching his head. In his mind, he pictured Akame in the real world fighting for food with the Night Raid gang at the dinner table. It was truly adorable.
"Whether you're a Heroic Spirit or a human, you're still the same, Akame. You can't walk at the sight of meat... Should we say we're sisters after all? But luckily, Kurome prefers sweets over meat..."
Koizumi couldn't help but smile as he said this, but what he said made Akame stop immediately.
"You know Hei Tong!" Aka Tong's eyes stared at Koizumi in front of him, as if asking Koizumi to give an explanation.
This was perfectly normal. After all, Chi Tong had been in this empire for so long, yet she still hadn't seen Hei Tong. According to Chi Tong's investigation, Hei Tong was probably in the imperial capital, and since she was wanted by the empire, something bad would happen if she entered the capital. That was why she wouldn't go there. Koizumi now said he knew Hei Tong, so didn't that mean...
Gu Quan had been to the imperial capital and had stayed there for quite some time. Otherwise, how could he have known Hei Tong? And judging from his tone, he and Hei Tong seemed to have a very good relationship.
Now Chi Tong is eager to know about Hei Tong's situation. He owes Hei Tong everything he did during his lifetime, and now because of his defection, he has done something wrong to Hei Tong again. Chi Tong can't stop feeling guilty about Hei Tong.
Chi Tong knew the situation of this empire. Everyone was very loyal to the empire, and there was a very warm atmosphere among the people. The nobles here did not treat human life as worthless. A peaceful scene appeared in front of Chi Tong.
When Tatsumi met him before, he also told him that the noble Alia was a noble they had killed in their lifetime. There should be a storage in the backyard of that noble's house containing the bodies of countless adventurers from outside the imperial capital who wanted to try their luck in the imperial capital. However, when Tatsumi went there, he found nothing. This was really strange.
Although Akagi didn't know what had happened, she knew in her heart that something must have gone wrong in this world.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big deviation from my memory.
To be honest, when Akagi was going through all this, she was thinking about one thing...
Maybe this is not so bad... After all, the people here have not experienced such cruel things.
Taeko and Cornelia did not become enemies, Sister Cor was alive and well, Taeko was not killed by herself, Nahashu was not controlled, and did not seriously injure Bonnie, Leone was still living well with those people in the slums, and although their lives were not rich, they were very fulfilling, Main was not looked down upon because of her bloodline, and Hill was also living happily with his friends.
As Hei Tong's sister, I will live with Hei Tong... until the end of this life...
Akame believed that she was definitely not the only one who had this idea, even Tatsumi had definitely thought about it in his heart.
But they are heroic spirits summoned by the world, and given the responsibility of salvation by the world. Anyone can waver in their beliefs, but this group of people must never do so... Akame understands this very well in her heart.
Back to the point, Akame knew that her betrayal of the empire would likely cause Hei Tong a great deal of trouble, but she still did it, even though she felt a little regretful before doing it...
I should have gone to the capital to look for Hei Tong first, taken him away after finding him, and then betrayed him...
Well, to put it bluntly, the only thing to do is to betray the Empire to the very end...
But to be honest, considering the current situation, it was really lucky that I didn’t run to the imperial capital.
If I run to the imperial capital, I will probably have to sell the servant's aura in my body.
Then he was directly blocked by General Bud in the imperial capital, and in the end... all he could say was hahaha...
However, now when Chitong heard that someone knew Heitong and had even met him, it would be strange if Chitong was not anxious.
As soon as she was summoned and knew that this was the world and timeline she was in, the first person she thought of without saying a word was her sister Hei Tong. She couldn't wait to get to her sister's side.
"I do know Hei Tong, but she's currently with Esdeath, receiving training from her. Even though it looks quite tiring, compared to my training... it's like heaven..."
At this point, Koizumi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He hadn't concealed the fact that he knew Esdeath. After all, there was no need to hide it. Moreover, Akame, who had fought with Esdeath before, must have known Esdeath's character well.
Koizumi believed that Akame wouldn't doubt him for no apparent reason.
However, when Akame heard that Kurome was with Esdeath, she felt relieved.
Chapter 154 Confession (Part 2)
Seeing Akahime's reaction, Koizumi couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression. Why did Akahime seem relieved upon hearing Esdeath's name? Could it be that Esdeath was also someone Akahime could trust?
"Akagi, are you and Esdeath still on good terms?"
With this in mind, Koizumi couldn't help but ask Akame in front of him.
If you have any doubts, you should ask the person in front of you. This is how Koizumi has always been. Of course, except for certain times. After all, sometimes some things are considered taboos in the minds of others, so it is better not to ask.
However, Koizumi didn't think Esdeath's affairs were taboo, so he still asked about it.
Akame must be very familiar with Esdeath, and maybe I can learn more about her.
He was puzzled as to why Esdeath wanted to train him, and why Esdeath revealed her identity to him. Koizumi kept pondering these things. Even if there was no need to hide it at that time, there was no point in Esdeath revealing herself... After all, he was just a Master.
Wouldn't it be better to expose it to other Servants rather than to the Master?
There was a flicker of doubt in Koizumi's eyes. He had always been curious about this. He had asked about it before, and it seemed a bit self-destructive. After all, at that time, Koizumi was afraid that he would forget everything when he woke up, which would be terrible.
Now that he no longer had to worry about this issue, Koizumi's first priority was to sort out all the questions in his mind, and the biggest question in Koizumi's mind right now was about Esdeath.
After all, Koizumi has basically figured out what happened in this singularity, right?
Although it may take some time to find the other party, and even defeating the other party requires a certain amount of effort.
But Koizumi believed that as long as he joined forces with Reimu and the others, it would not be impossible to defeat the opponent.
And now he has found two more Heroic Spirits, Akame and Tatsumi. Although he doesn't know this Tatsumi, since he is recognized by Brand, his strength must not be weak. Coupled with Akame's super strength, it is definitely not impossible to defeat Esdeath. The Three Beast Warriors are no match for him.
However, the only thing I have to be careful about now is the strength of the boss behind the other side. After all, I am not quite sure how powerful the other party is. It would be great if there was a way to know the strength of the other party.
Hearing Koizumi's words, Akame frowned slightly. To be honest, her relationship with Esdeath wasn't really that good.
Slowly, Akame shook her head, her crimson eyes fixed on Koizumi.
"My relationship with Esdeath is not good. If we talk about fighting, our relationship is... okay..."
Having said that, a conflicted look appeared on Akame's face. She didn't know how to explain the matter between herself and Esdeath. After all, in terms of stance, she and Esdeath were enemies, but in terms of fighting opponents, Esdeath seemed to be very optimistic about her, and she had to admit that Esdeath was an opponent that she must kill and an opponent that she must surpass.
However, if we look at things from the perspective of the two people, Esdeath is definitely the worst.
"It's just that I'll never be able to accept Esdeath's attitude. Perhaps she's right. The law of the jungle is the law of survival in this world, and in many other worlds. But it's definitely not the only one. Esdeath only believes in this. I'm different. I believe that relying on the power of friends can accomplish many things. When we're with friends, even if we're in different places, our hearts are united. This... the power of longing can transcend everything."
"But it's precisely because of this that Esdeath is always alone. She only has subordinates, not friends, let alone lovers... And with only subordinates, she is forever lonely, and the emptiness in her heart caused by loneliness can only be relieved through fighting. This is Esdeath... And I, on the other hand, will always have friends around me..."
When talking about "lover", Akame glanced at Tatsumi, which made Koizumi slightly startled.
Why is she looking at Tatsumi? Could it be that Esdeath's lover is Tatsumi... Koizumi couldn't help but twitch his lips.
I'm sorry, I can never imagine that the female general who only knew how to fight would have her own lover.
"But as I said before, Esdeath only has subordinates, so Esdeath is very good to them. It is precisely because of this that I feel relieved that Hei Tong is with Esdeath. When he was alive, Hei Tong was Esdeath's subordinate. I guess this is why Esdeath keeps Hei Tong by her side..."
Koizumi couldn't help but reveal a look of realization. No wonder Esdeath had that expression when she saw Kurono...
Because Hei Tong was her subordinate in the past, Esdeath couldn't bear to let Hei Tong be bullied by other ordinary people?
No, it's not about not being able to bear it, it's more about not being able to bear it... If it was that woman, she would only be like this, she wouldn't show any emotion of not being able to bear it...
Just as Akame said, Esdeath only believes in the law of the jungle, so if her subordinates were killed, she wouldn't show much sadness... She would focus more on avenging them.
He's quite a practical master... Koizumi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
"By the way, what exactly is this [Night Raid] you mentioned earlier? I've been here for so long, and I haven't heard any news about it. And it's not just me, even Tatsumi feels the same way. We've been asking about it, but no matter what, there's only the Empire here. Even the Revolutionary Army, the foreign ethnic groups, the mysterious country in the East, and so on no longer exist. I even suspect that this is the only Empire in this world, and that all other countries have been swallowed up by the Empire..."
Akagi's pair of crimson eyes stared at Koizumi in front of him, as if he wanted to see through everything about him.
Moreover, even Tatsumi looked at Koizumi in this way, causing Koizumi to tremble slightly.
Can you, Brand's little brother, please stop looking at me like that? It would be fine if you were straight, but if not, I would be very embarrassed, okay?
Chapter 155 The Boss Behind the Scenes? Minister?
In fact, all Koizumi needs to do is repeat what Doremi told him to Akahime and Tatsumi. This kind of thing is very simple. By the way, he can also tell Akahime and Tatsumi that he is responsible for solving these singularities.
They can judge for themselves what to do and what not to do. They are fundamentally different from Jingmi and the others.
Because Jingmi and Baimao belong to the Revolutionary Army, their stance is still uncertain. Even among the Heroic Spirits, not all of them will contribute to saving the world, not to mention that this world has nothing to do with the world of those Heroic Spirits.
According to Zi, the history of this world is completely different from normal human history. Since they are not the same world, there is no need to worry about whether these heroic spirits will choose to protect this world that is completely different from their own...
So, until Koizumi is sure of Jingmi and Baimao's stance, he won't tell them about himself. At least not so easily, right? Otherwise, there's a risk of betrayal...
Although Jingmi has already signed a contract with me, betrayal is impossible.
Koizumi had practically figured out Jingmi's personality; after all, her personality was relatively easy to understand. All Jingmi needed was someone who wouldn't die from her poison... and that was her greatest happiness.
As for why he revealed his identity to Akahime and Tatsumi so easily, it was because they were local heroic spirits summoned by the world, and Akahime was very clear about his character. Since the enemy belonged to the Empire, he could join forces with the Revolutionary Army and [NIGHTRAID].
Tatsumi's words... Although Koizumi didn't understand, he chose to trust Brand's judgment.
Since it was someone Brand entrusted with the imperial weapon, the other party should also be someone recognized by Brand.
