My avatar is the heroine

"General Rival, it seems you've suffered some serious internal injuries after unleashing your ultimate attack. Are you still able to use your Imperial Arms?"

After landing, Brand laughed happily.

His demonic possession was supposed to end automatically due to his severe injuries, but now it seems he can still use it.

Hughie floated in mid-air, looking down at the scene with a blank expression.

General Liva's strength is even inferior to some ordinary orc races, so dealing with such an opponent is not difficult for her.

In comparison, Esdeath might require more effort to deal with. After all, she can easily move quickly by creating ice in mid-air, but catching up with Supersonic Shubi is still unrealistic.

"What kind of Imperial Arm are you using?"

General Riva's expression was completely grave; he could only rely on his own strength now. And what about Shubi? Was she injured after resisting that attack?

It would be truly terrifying if there were no injuries or only minor injuries.

The next second, the mecha girl slowly floated in front of the other person and then pointed the gun at his chest.

"Because you are too weak, I am afraid that I will not be able to control my strength. Last time I used the Heavenly Strike, I only wanted to destroy the Imperial Fist Temple, but I did not expect... that it would affect dozens of kilometers."

"..."

Brand: “…”

"..."

"Did you destroy the Imperial Fist Temple?"

About sixteen or seventeen seconds later, Riva made an incredulous cry.

That incident cast a long shadow over the empire's high command.

The minister, who initially did not consider the matter particularly serious, took the initiative to learn about the specific information of the target location after learning of the destruction of the four Rakshasa demons. He then became so engrossed in the matter that he even lost his appetite for meat.

He truly couldn't imagine that such a dangerous figure could exist near the empire.

That is why Esdeath, who is located in the border region, was urgently recalled.

Esdeath's original main objective was to deal with Night Raid, but now her main objective is probably to guard against the powerful figure who suddenly appeared.

Could that person really be the girl in front of me?

I can't believe it, I really can't believe it.

"It's very simple, isn't it? It's just the Imperial Fist Temple."

Shubi's gun began to gather energy, then suddenly shifted its target, aiming at Niu who was trying to ambush Brand again, and fired a beam.

boom!

Several kilometers away, the beam of light unleashed a massive wave.

The spray was the residual energy after the energy broke through the opponent's chest.

Niu's body instantly vaporized, while the distant waves surged several meters high, rolling towards them.

"Now that you're the only one left, I suggest you just commit suicide."

Shubi realized that her abilities were indeed too strong. If she had just fought General Riva, the powerful energy would have destroyed the upper part of the dock, causing an astonishing number of human deaths.

"If all else fails, I'll have to kill you through hand-to-hand combat."

She whispered.

"I'm starting to believe you did it. But I'm not going to give up so easily."

General Liva suddenly gave a bitter laugh. He had never expected that such a terrifying monster existed in this world.

"Why don't you hand him over to me?"

Brand felt he had a way to kill his opponent.

General Leva does indeed have a trump card: spraying poisonous blood. However, while maintaining his armor, it would be virtually impossible for him to harm Brand.

But for safety's sake, Hughie shook her head and said, "Give it to the Queen. She has a feeling that General Riva still has a trump card. Your mask is broken, and you may die because of it."

As she said this, Misaki Shokuhou walked up to them.

Brand also wanted to see how the Queen killed people.

Then she took out the remote control and pressed a button lightly.

Then, in front of everyone, General Liva took out his weapon and stabbed himself through the chest.

"Pfft~~"

Brand's eyes widened.

"Her Majesty is called Queen because she is respected from the bottom of her heart. Even her enemies, after receiving this respect, would be willing to do anything for her."

Hugh explained.

"Including suicide?" Brand shrugged.

So just how terrifying are those two new recruits who came on this night raid mission with me?

Brand was already one of the strongest in Night Raid, but now it seems the newcomers are the real monsters.

"When it comes to dealing with Esdeath, my strength shouldn't be a problem."

Shubi reached out and grabbed Brand's shoulder, then the tail nozzles spewed out propulsive energy several times stronger, and the rocket soared into the sky.

"Overload of 30G is not a big problem."

"Pfft, it's not a big problem? I can't take it, slow down."

In just a few seconds, the speed increased to several times the speed of sound, and Brand felt like he was going crazy.

The gale made his armor hum terrifyingly, a sonic boom, and even though the blue aura released by Shubi blocked his view, his face still felt intensely torn apart.

"Currently adjusting course, target NightRaid territory."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Brand let out a fearful roar.

"Acceleration complete. Current speed is Mach 10, or more than 3 kilometers per second."

Hypersonic speed.

Less than three minutes later, Hugh had slowed down and landed gently on a cliff—directly above the NightRaid territory building.

"We're here now?"

Brand hadn't forgotten that it had taken them two days to get to the Dragon Boat, and that they had traveled mostly by vehicle.

So, despite the long voyage, Hughie arrived in just one minute?

"This is not Shubi's maximum speed. Under normal conditions, Shubi can maintain 30 times the speed of sound without feeling too much pressure."

Hughie calmly stated this fact.

Brand fell silent.

"You're back?" Not far away, the BOSS looked at the two people who had descended from the sky in surprise. "Where is the Queen?"

"The Queen has arrived."

Hugh pointed to the starry-eyed girl standing a few meters away.

“Emmm…” Brand was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, what happened today should really make him change his opinion of the girl in front of him.

She should not be underestimated because of her cute and delicate appearance.

Chapter 380 The Establishment of the Hunters

Streets outside the capital city.

Black Eyes, munching on a pastry, walked alone past the checkpoint.

The guards approached her with a strange smile: "Hey, little sister, what are you doing here?"

Without saying a word, Kuroko took out a document from her person.

"What? The Imperial Assassination Squad... Hiss, please come in."

After crossing the tall walls and entering the palace area, Kurohime finally stepped into a room in the palace area and found two people sitting inside.

A young boy, with a bag of fish next to him, looked a bit rustic, probably from the countryside.

The other was an interrogator from the Imperial Burning Force.

Kuroko calmly found a seat at the six-person table and began eating her snacks.

"Hey, um... my name is Will."

Will felt that this cute girl was much easier to talk to than the guy who looked like an interrogator, so he took the initiative to go up and chat her up.

"Ok?"

Kuroko was taken aback, then immediately clutched her snacks, looking at her warily: "I'm not going to give you any snacks."

"Gah?"

Will's facial expression twitched; this girl seemed a bit strange too.

He awkwardly returned to his seat, only to find that the lobby door had been pushed open again.

A girl with short brown hair walked in, leading a strange white dog.

However, compared to the people in front of her, this girl's expression was gloomy.

A few seconds later, she suddenly turned around and left the room.

"What, did we take the wrong turn?"

Next, a self-proclaimed fashionable man and a blond man with an aristocratic air entered.

When everything was over, the last person... a tall woman with a mask and long sky-blue hair walked in.

As soon as she entered, the woman attacked the five people inside.

One after another, including Will, no one survived a single blow from her, except for Black Eyes who cleanly and decisively cut off her mask.

"So this is the Eighth Chamber? It's really sharp."

Smiling, the woman touched the shattered pieces of her mask and revealed her face to the crowd.

"General Esdeath?"

Polus of the burning troops exclaimed in shock, revealing the woman's identity in a single sentence.

"what?"

Everyone, including Kuroko, was shocked.

"I'm a little confused. Why is one person missing? Where's Seryu?"

“Seryu, is she a girl with brown hair?” Will asked.

"Ah."

"He went out; the moment he entered the door, he turned around and ran out."

"Oh?"

Esdeath frowned, wondering what had happened.

……

Esdeath returns to the Imperial Capital, and the Hunter Police Force is established.

This news spread like wildfire throughout the capital, and naturally reached Night Raid's ears as well.

In order to target the Hunters, the Night Raid members prepared to explore the area.

So far, apart from Mine, Lubbock, and Leone, only two members of Night Raid—Shubi and Misaki Shokuhou—have not been exposed.

The BOSS's true identity is Najenda, a defector general of the Empire, who was originally on par with Esdeath. However, she couldn't understand Esdeath's incomprehensible and terrible personality, and coupled with her dissatisfaction with the Empire's oppression, she ultimately sided with the rebels.

"Hey, Lubbock, I heard Esdeath is holding a citizens' martial arts tournament, and the winner gets a prize. Do you want to go?" Mine reached out and touched Lubbock's shoulder, waving a white notice in her hand.

“What’s the point of telling me all this? I’m not participating.” Lubbock shook his head. “Esdeath is probably scouting for talent. Appearing in this kind of competition would only increase her risk of exposure.”

"What a pity. I think if we had been lucky, we could have gotten more information about Esdeath. Last time Leone went to investigate Esdeath, she was so scared that she ran back."
