This sword strike was incredibly fast, exceeding Tatsumi's limits; even the decapitated Zank couldn't react in time.
The two passed each other, and a wound appeared on Zank's chest after he was beheaded.
You've been stabbed!
Tatsumi was overjoyed, but before he could even feel happy, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen.
Looking down, he saw a red mark on his abdomen, which was expanding and gushing blood.
Clutching his abdominal wound, Tatsumi trembled slightly, muttering to himself.
"It turns out I'm still this weak."
Thump!
Tatsumi fell to the ground, struggling to lift his head to look at Akame, as if trying to struggle one more time.
"Akame, wake up! What you're seeing is all fake!"
Zank, who had been beheaded, touched the wound on his chest and put a finger to his lips.
Shh!
Zank's smile grew increasingly sinister as he raised the broken blade and stabbed Akame in the chest.
Akame, immersed in the illusion, showed no change in either her body or her expression.
"Red Eyes!"
With his last ounce of strength, Tatsumi screamed Akame's name.
Due to excessive blood loss, Tatsumi's consciousness began to blur.
"Am I going to die? Sayo, Ieyasu, I'm coming!"
The situation on the field suddenly reversed. The stunned Akame, with a knife in hand, slashed the throat of the decapitated Zank.
"You...you..."
With his trachea slashed, the sound of Zank's decapitation was very muffled.
Akame's Imperial Arm, One Slash Kill Special Effect, activated, spreading the cursed poison and decapitating Zank's entire body.
With a sigh, the decapitated Zank closed his eyes. He suddenly realized that there was complete peace and quiet around him, and there were no more groans or howls.
The狰狞 smile faded, and Zank calmly died after beheading Zank.
"Tatsumi, Tatsumi!"
Akame ignored the beheading of Zank and quickly went to Tatsumi's side.
Seeing the huge wound on his abdomen, Akame tore off her shirt to bandage it.
Upon receiving the distress signal, Brand, who was the first to arrive at the scene, looked at Tatsumi lying in a pool of blood, and his expression turned grim.
"Take him to the secret base immediately."
Brand picked up Tatsumi and took him to Lubbock's secret base in the capital.
Before leaving, Akame took the Imperial Arms, Five Visions, from the head of the decapitated Zank.
The other members of the night raid, while en route, received a mission completion signal and quickly withdrew to the designated location.
At this moment, Najenda and Hao Yun, who had just returned from the night raid on the base outside the city in a flying dangerous species, were puzzled to see the base empty.
"Why is no one here? Did they all go on a mission?"
"I think so. I've handed the supplies over to you; I have other things to attend to."
Najendan entered the base and handed over the task of moving supplies to Hao Yun.
"I can't handle this by myself!"
Seeing the mountain of boxes piled up on the dangerous creature, Hao Yun decisively shouted for help.
Unfortunately, the base was deserted, and Najenda was nowhere to be found.
"Please leave this to me."
Teigu Susanoo stepped forward, and in less than half an hour, he moved a mountain of goods into the base.
Hao Yun was dumbfounded by this scene; Susanoo's execution was too strong.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"This is my job."
After moving the goods, Susanoo went into the base and began cleaning, showing no sign of stopping.
Chapter 357 Defeat of Brand
At midnight, chaos erupted inside the raided base.
Inside the hall, the squad members who had just returned from their mission clashed with Susanoo, who was cleaning.
"Who are you, and what are you doing at our base!"
Mine raised the pumpkin cannon and stared warily at Susanoo.
The rest of the squad also formed an attack formation.
At the rear of the group, Brand handed the injured Tatsumi over to Lubbock and activated his Teigu, Demon Embrace, to shield everyone.
"Can't you guys be quiet for the night?!"
On the second floor of the base, Hao Yun leaned on the railing and yawned.
"Hao Yun, when did you get back? Who is this person?"
Leone stepped forward and waved to Hao Yun.
"This is the BOSS's Imperial Arm, Susanoo. If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep."
Upon learning that he was not an enemy, the members of the Night Raid team breathed a sigh of relief and curiously looked Susanoo up and down.
"The BOSS's Teigu is actually a humanoid Teigu, and a male one at that! That's truly shocking!"
Leone circled around Susanoo, curiously touching and looking at it.
Susanoo glanced at everyone, his gaze settling on Tatsumi.
To everyone's astonishment, Susanoo appeared beside Tatsumi and untied the tangled bandages binding his abdomen.
What are you going to do?
Akame drew her long sword, assuming a stance ready to attack.
Susanoo remained unmoved, pulled out a roll of bandage from his waist, and re-treated and bandaged Tatsumi's wound.
Akame sheathed her longsword, picked up Tatsumi, and went upstairs.
After a busy night, the other members were also exhausted, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.
It wasn't until noon the next day that everyone gradually woke up.
In the lobby on the first floor, everyone stared in disbelief at Susanoo bustling about in the kitchen.
"Hey Hao Yun, you went to the back with the BOSS, what's up with this Imperial Arm?"
Leone leaned against the kitchen window and turned to look at Hao Yun.
"He is Susanoo, a biological Teigu. He is a bodyguard type, an all-rounder in housework, and also quite fierce in battle."
Hao Yun, who was wiping his sickle, replied without looking up.
Brand looked at Susanoo and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Bodyguards? They seem pretty good. At least the logistics are guaranteed."
Everyone has a good impression of Susanoo, but some people can't stand his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
When Mine came to the restaurant, her hair was a bit messy because she had just woken up, so Susanoo came over and tidied it up for her.
Hill accidentally knocked over a glass of water, and Susanoo was the first to come and deal with it.
Brand's soiled clothes were also taken away by Susanoo to be washed.
This has resulted in Brand still sitting shirtless in the restaurant.
"Is this the Imperial Arms you obtained at the Revolutionary Army camp?"
Mine stood in front of Hao Yun with a strange smile on her face.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Hao Yun looked up at Ma Yin, wondering what she was up to.
At this moment, Mine put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, pointing at the sickle and saying...
"This Imperial Arm was collected by Akame. The user of this Imperial Arm was killed by Akame with a single slash. I never expected that you would obtain such a weak Imperial Arm!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to this at that moment.
They all recognized the Imperial Arms in Hao Yun's hands; it had clashed with the Anning Path when Night Raid was first formed.
That's when we got this Imperial Arms.
Brand frowned slightly and looked at the scythe in Hao Yun's hand.
“Each Imperial Arm has different abilities, and the previous user didn’t even develop the abilities of this particular Imperial Arm.”
Mine curled her lip; she didn't believe such nonsense.
Brand smiled slightly, stood up, and said to Hao Yun.
"Now that you've also obtained a Teigu, why don't you have a match with me and let me see how well you're compatible with it?"
Hao Yun shrugged, indicating no problem.
The two arrived at the training ground. Hao Yun, carrying a sickle, glanced at the corridor not far away.
Except for Akame, all the members of the Night Raid base came to watch the excitement.
"Big brother, be careful. I just obtained the Imperial Arms, and my control over it isn't very strong yet."
