Chapter 38: Who Live? Who Die?

Day?: Next Objective? I got nothing... Part 2

"Hey! We don't need to do anything we would regret now do we?" Lubbock try to stall by talking to me. I could see the Lubbock sweat as he keeps on replacing the broken wire threads, since my singer's sword is still on my back and the blade would cut these wires easily, even if Lubbock place more wires an extra layer together, but the first layer and the layer after that would still be cut. No matter how many layers of wires there is. The singer's sword would always cut through.

[Terror Chain] activate!

I quietly active my [Terror Chain] behind Lubbock who is too bothered asking me questions non-stop, but to my surprise. Before my chains could bind Lubbock, countless wires tear them apart. "Whew, I don't what you did, but those chains of yours won't do anything against me, since it looks like it very weak." Lubbock gloat at me with a smirk on his face, but slowly his face gotten serious as more chains keep on coming after him, but being torn apart by his cross tail's wires.

"Hey...you're one of the Night Raid?" I ask Lubbock in monotone as I continue walking toward him while keeping an expressionless face. "Now, what gave you that kind of idea?" Lubbock ask me in a joking tone, but I could see him sweating even more when I ask him. "So, you are one. That's good to know. I'm sure Esdese would love to know all the things you got in your head." I said to Lubbock as I release a little bit of mana to burst out of my bind and use Wind Step to appear behind Lubbock with my singer's sword in my right hand ready to cut his left arm off, but before I could, a katana block my slash.

Even though the person blocks my attack, I still manage to draw blood from Lubbock by piercing through his left shoulder with my [Gae Bolg]. During the time I use wind step to appear behind Lubbock. I notice a few souls appear in the area already and quickly grab [Gae Bolg] from my inventory with my left hand. Ready to send out a sneak attack.

"GAH!" Lubbock shout in pain as he jumps forward to get his shoulder out of [Gae Bolg]. "Lubbock! You okay there?! I got everyone who could help us right now!" Tatsumi shout at Lubbock in worry while I face the one who block my attack. A young girl with long black hair that reaches down to her knees and red eyes. "Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame. Another Night Raid along with the kid from the tournament and a humanoid Teigu." I said to the Night Raid in a monotone and keep the grin from appearing.

'Seriously? How the hell they appear so fast? I mean Tatsumi just ran off like a few minutes! Is their HQ near here or something? Seriously! Unless they were nearby like just a few meters away. {Maybe they have some Teigu to give them ride?} Maybe...think Esdese will get off my back from this morning about that female soldier if I bring her back a few Night Raid? {Depend, do you want her to stop trying to hurt you and at the same time want to spend even more time in pleasure after you give her the Night Raid, or do you want her to just give you a small kiss on the lip for the present, then take a while for her to torture them?} I take the first option. {I figure you would pick that now after quitting doing assassinate mission. Yeah, just bring one or more Night Raid's member should do it. You should try to get that humanoid Teigu though.} Guess I could get a good work out.' I said to Great Red as I trace 4 [Gae Bolg] above me in midair while using the mana around the area to keep them floating and control with just a thought.

"What kind of Teigu is that?!" Tatsumi shout in panic as he looks at the floating red spear around me aiming at each of them. I send out a single mental command on one of the [Gae Bolg] to pierce Tatsumi, but Susanoo block the attack with his stave and continue on parrying with it while Akame and I exchange blows with blows, slash to thrust. "Eliminate." Akame said to me in a cold tone when she saw at the corner of her eyes when Lubbock been pierce by 2 [Gae Bolg] at his left leg and right shoulder. Making him out of the battle and I would of kill Lubbock, but Tatsumi uses his incursio to smack the [Gae Bolg] away from sending the death blow to Lubbock.

"You're dead for hurting my friend!" Tatsumi shout at me as he charges at me while Akame and I are still delivering blows to block with each other. "Tatsumi! Don't! Go help Lubbock! You're no match for him!" Akame shout at Tatsumi in fear of him being killed by me. Without warning I trace another [Gae Bolg], but just a little higher in the sky and command it to descend right about when Tatsumi pause for a second.

"AAAHHH!" Tatsumi cried in pain as [Gae Bolg] pierce through his incursio armor, but only his side being pierced by the surprise attack. "Tatsumi!" Akame shout in concern as she speeds up her attacks on me in order to help Tatsumi's injury before he bleed to death. "I got this!" Susanoo shout to Akame as he already pulls out [Gae Bolg] from Lubbock leg and shoulder, but he has already ended up unconscious from being shocked, since I even use my own mana to infuse high electrical current into those [Gae Bolg]. To make sure they would be paralysis while taking even more damage from not able to be healed from the damage inflicted by [Gae Bolg], but They probably could just be sealed up temporary with something unless they could destroy [Gae Bolg]. They will never be at full strength in their whole life.

"Where do you think you're going?" I ask Akame as I kick her stomach and send her crashing into the tree, when she try to make me move away from the others. I quickly rush at Susanoo before he could try to take [Gae Bolg] out of Tatsumi, who look about to pass out soon. "Your opponent is me!" Akame shout from behind me, then I spin the [Gae Bolg], in my left hand, behind as I hit the side of Akame's murasame to change its course to the ground instead of my back.

Then I use Renewal Taekwondo: Spinning Top Kick, as I kick Akame's face while turning 360 degrees to my left and at the same time blocking Susanoo's sneak attack with my singer's sword, then I use the [Gae Bolg] in my hand and smashed Akame's left side of her waist before she send flew a few feet away from my kick and change her course right into Tatsumi causing both of them crashing into a tree with Tatsumi scream even more pain with [Gae Bolg] piercing all the way of his side.

I give a mental command to all the [Gae Bolg] around the area to float behind me and be ready to strike. "Damn it, we need to get out of here. This guy is too strong for us. He at least at Esdese's level." Lubbock said while breathing a little harder after he woke up a few minutes during my warm up with Akame. "No. He seem more to be above Esdese's level. Look at him. He doesn't even have a single injury on him. Not even his clothes have been damaged either and at the same time he already took down two of us with those floating red spear while he was just messing around with me." Akame growl in a little rage, but kept her emotions in check as she explains to Lubbock, that I'm stronger than Esdese.

"Then what-cough*" Lubbock was about to ask Akame, but I cut him off, when I trace another [Gae Bolg] behind the Night Raid and inflict another wound on Lubbock as he cough a mouthful of blood and just ready to die. "Lubbock!" Akame shout in worry as she grabs [Gae Bolg] and pull it out of Lubbock's back and tries to cover the wound by using Lubbock's green jacket, but Lubbock just stop Akame as he shook his head with a sad smile on his face.

"Susanoo...grab Tatsumi along with Akame and get out of here...tell Ms. Najenda I love her...and hopes she reach her goal...go...I will have my last battle here and try to bring this bastard with me to hell!" Lubbock shout in rage as he charges at me while creating a spear form made out of his thread, but from the look of it. I could see him using his trump card already, Realm-Cutting Thread, the cross tail's trump card. A stronger type of thread which look like it superior to his regular thread.

"Lubbock!" Akame and Tatsumi shout at Lubbock in fear and grief while Susanoo have already grabbed both of them as he escape from this area. "Come on! Your opponent is me! Let see if you could take this!" Lubbock shout at me as he throw his spear thread at me, but it never reaches me as I command the [Gae Bolg] behind me to block Lubbock's spear thread attack. Sadly, to my surprise the [Gae Bolg] behind him won't move from their spot and when I look the corner of my eye and notice a few wire threads binding all of them in the air and my body been bound again.

"Heh, you think I was just lazing around while you were facing Akame? Now, die!" Lubbock said to me when he notices my surprise expression as he throw another spear thread already. Right as the two spear threads about to reach me.

[Crystal Palace of Reflection] active x2

I created 2 small mirrors of crystal that is in front of me and send the two spear threads back toward Lubbock, who have a shocked expression on his face as he use more of his threads to change his two spear threads course a little to his side instead, because of the extra speed add, when it been reflected by my crystal mirrors. "What the hell?! You got to me kidding me! How many Teigu could you uses?!" Lubbock shout at me in rage as he creates an ax thread in his right hand and swing it right at my head.

I release another burst of mana to get out of my binding and swing singer's sword against his ax thread, when they made contact. Only Lubbock's ax thread was destroyed without any effort and I use the crystal mirror to reflect Lubbock right back at me as I send a thrust with [Gae Bolg] as a faint, since Lubbock sends out more wire threads wrapping his wounds already and his forearm as well ready to block my thrust, but I spin [Gae Bolg] to hit the side of Lubbock's left hand instead and knocking him out. I gave the command on the [Gae Bolg] that inflict the damage on Lubbock with the curse to be dispelled, then I dismiss the floating [Gae Bolg] and send the one in my hand back into my inventory as I place singer's sword on my back. Afterward, I use Diarahan to heal all the injury on his body while I take his cross tail Teigu for my uses and I even search his body for any hidden threads and even his mouth as well.

To my surprise, there are a few threads in his mouth and by the look of it. It's the realm-cutting thread as well, so I took those as well after washing them with the water I create with my own mana to clean them as I put the Teigu in my inventory and I even restore the used threads by using trace. I pick Lubbock and place him over my right shoulder as I use Wind Step to head back where Esdese and Usubeni is. Right as I phase out of the area. I notice a few souls already appear in my view as they look at me in shock and to their fear. I disappear from their sights as they scream out Lubbock name.

"Hey! Ragna, you're back. Oh? Who's the guy on your shoulder?" Usubeni ask me in curious from her spot sitting on a rock with Esdese next to her. Esdese leaning on her hand, looking at the moon and when I appear. Esdese have a loving smile on her face when she sees me and her smile grew even more when she notice Lubbock on my shoulder. "A Night Raid already? You shouldn't have!" Esdese answer Usubeni's question for me as she walks towards me as I lay Lubbock on the ground as Esdese look at him while planning what to do with him.

"Hmm? What are you doing Ragna?" Usubeni ask me when she notices me taking out Lubbock's Teigu cross tail. "Oh, just figuring out which daughter of mine should get this Teigu." I answer Usubeni's question as I look at the Teigu in my hand. "Give it to Mizuki, I could see her using those easily." Usubeni give her opinion as she wraps her arms around my neck from behind me and look like she want a piggyback ride. So, I decided why not and started carrying her now as Usubeni give me a big smile.

"Hmm? I think maybe an hour or two is all I need to get everything we want from him." Esdese said to us as she drags Lubbock by his collar and walking towards us with a grin on her face. "I'm guessing we are going to fight the Night Raid today?" Usubeni ask Esdese from my back. "Probably, unless they changed location again like last time." Esdese answer Usubeni's question.

"Well, let's go back to your place then. Ragna and I could spend some quality time together." Usubeni said to Esdese as she started pressing her breasts onto my back while running her right hand through my hair and at the same time giving me small kisses on my neck and cheek.

"Hmmm. I could either spend time with you two, or torture the Night Raid to death. I will torture him later." Esdese said mostly to herself as she active the light cubes to send us back to Esdese's room and Esdese called out Wave and Run to take Lubbock to the torture chamber. "Wow! Commander Esdese! You have already captured a Night Raid!" Run said with awe as he looks at the unconscious Lubbock on the ground.

"He's right, Captain, how did you capture a Night Raid so fast?" Wave asks Esdese a little curious as he pokes Lubbock to see if he awake or not. "I found him on my walk with my lover. Now, take him to the torture chamber. I have some business I need to take care of." Esdese said to both Wave and Run as they salute to Esdese in respect and carry Lubbock to the torture chamber to be ready for Esdese to work her magic on him.

Esdese nodded at them, then close the door and look back at us with a lustful smile. "Now, how about we spend a little bit of time together closer?" Esdese said to me with eyes fill with lust as she started to kiss me. "Hey! Get in bed! I rather not do it on the ground if possible!" Usubeni shout at us from Esdese's bed.

2 hours later*

"Sorry I'm late. Had something urgent to do." Esdese said to both Wave and Run as we enter the torture chamber. I look around the place and see a few spots have dried up blood on them. "It's no problem at all Captain! I shall go help the others who need help with something." Wave said to everyone as he walks away from the area to see if any other Jaegers' members need help. "And I got this book I have been dying to read, since I got it. Have a good day Commander Esdese." Run said to Esdese as he walk away from the area and took the opposite direction of Wave took.

"I will be outside if you need me. Usubeni here could help you Esdese with healing magic with that white ring I gave her." I said to Esdese and she just nodded already looking over her tools. Right as I was about to exit the room, Usubeni grab my left hand and place something in my hand, that kinda soft. "Take care of that for me. I will like to have it back once we done here." Usubeni said to me as she gives me a wink and gently push me out of the room. When I look what in my hand and to my surprise. It's Usubeni's pantie and it dripping wet. "Usubeni isn't wearing any pantie..." I thought out loud in a whisper tone and a little blush on my face as I place the pantie in my pocket while looking around to see if anyone saw me, or else I would of killed someone.

'Soooo...how was your day? {Eh? Seriously? You're that bored? Well, I guess I could tell you some of the new special features I added to the light cubes.} Oh? What are they?' I ask Great Red a little curious at what else the light cubes could do. '{They can shoot a laser beam now!} Eh? Don't they do that already? {Yeah, but this one you can merge it with other powers instead of just firing a single element.} Huh? So, I could shoot a laser beam made of deadly poison? {Yes, but it will take time to charge up.} Anything else is new?' I ask Great Red if there are any more new features beside having the ability to adapt to our every need.

'{Remember how, I ask you to let me study your mana shield before you exchange it?} Yeah? {I finally made my own version. Sadly, this one is a one time perfect meat shield. Unlike your former mana shield. This one could only put up a limit of 5 layers and any kind of attacks. Even weak one, will destroy it, but on the bright side. Even a planet destroys technique is sent at you. The 1 perfect meat shield will take the damage in your place no matter how long the attack last. Until the attack stop, the perfect meat shield will stay up.} That's pretty good and bad at the same time. Still good though. {It's a backup shield to be honest. Not really perfect for multiple attacks unless they hit the shield at the same time, then it destroys easily.}' Great Red informs me on the new shield the light cubes could release now.

Then I notice someone walking toward my direction and I couldn't figure out who until they got closer and just a few seconds I see Bols, but the weird thing is, that his body is just even more pale to me. "Hey, Ragna. Could you help me with something?" Bols asks me as he walk towards me. "Sure. What you need help with?" I ask Bols as with a small smile and Bols place his right arm on my left shoulder, but before he could I place my left hand just above his heart and my phantom blade release it blade, then pierce through his heart as the blade stab into the wall behind him.

"Why?" Bols asks me in confuse as he was about to fall to the ground, but I quickly took singer's sword off my back and try to cut Bols in half. Sadly, he did a backflip to escape my attack. "How did you know?" Bols said to me, but soon his appearance change into a different form as a slim man around his 20s with black hair, black eyes and wearing what look like a brown robe. 'Look like someone have a device to make a disguise with illusion, but too bad I could see through it. Even though I can't see the person inside the disguise with the bright light covering them.' I thought to myself as I narrow my eyes at the young man.

"You would like to know that, huh? Sorry, but I'm not like those others, people who explain their techniques. Who are you?" I ask the unknown men who try to attack me in Bols' form. 'Why the hell is [Observe] not working on this guy?! Stupid thing!' I thought with a little bitter while keeping my expression stoic.

"Kukukuku! Well, it's nice to meet you. The one who has the powers of both creation and destruction. You could call me Knight. I am from the Hero clan and I would like you to come with me back to my clan's world to meet someone important." Knight said to me as he lowers his head a little in a bow gesture to me with a big smirk on his face, but when I notice he looks to the door where Esdese and Usubeni are. I could see the lust in his eyes.

"And what if I said no?" I ask Knight with narrow eyes as I release a little bit of killer intent. "Kukukukuku...I think you got misunderstood something. It's wasn't a request. It an order, either I bring you back with you willing to follow me, or..." Knight pulls out a sword from under his brown robe and a dagger, then said, "I have to knock you out by force!" Knight charge at me with his sword from the right already aiming at my left leg and the dagger aiming to pierce my left shoulder.

I block his sword with singer's sword, that longer than Knight's sword and use the handle to hit the tip of the dagger causing Knight to lose his grip on it, but before I could grab it. Knight quickly grabs the dagger in reverse grip and try to stab my arm in front of him. Sadly, I didn't give him the chance as I kick him in the stomach. Forcing him to take a few steps back to hold his stomach in pain a little, glaring at me with eyes filled with hatred.

"You're going to regret that move, Mercer!" Knight growl at me as his body glow green a little and he disappears in my sight, but I quickly bend backward just barely missing Knight's sword thrust. I place my left hand on the ground and send out a faint kick to his stomach again, and he took my bait, when he tries to stab my right leg for trying to kick him. "Think you could trick me twice-SHIT!" Knight was about to brag, but I use the flat side of his dagger to place my foot on, then use it to make me spin to my left and with singer's sword almost reaching Knight's neck, but his escape by jumping back a little as he curses at me.

"Bastard! You're really getting on my nerve!" Knight shouts at me in rage as he throws his dagger at me, but I counter it with another phantom blade from my right one, then I grab the blade in the air with my left hand and use [Reinforcement] on it to breaking point. Then I throw it at Knight as the blade almost about to explode. Knight who notices the glowing crack on the phantom blade. Quickly move his head to the side as the phantom blade passes his head and hit the wall behind him. When the phantom blade made contact with the wall. It blows up the wall and started to crumble.

I use Wind Step to appear in front of him while using Gleaming Fang with singer's sword as the medium as a darkness serpent-like energy trail behind singer's sword. As I cut Knight in half from the side, then Ouroboros opens its mouth to eat Knight's soul and one of the Hero clan members has died. 'Earth Swamp.' I quickly bury the dead body deep into the ground, then use [Madness Alchemist] to fix the area.

"Hey, Ragna! We're done-what the hell did we miss?" Usubeni call out to me as she exit the torture chamber with Esdese following behind and she notice the blood on the ground along with singer's sword dripping with blood of its victim. "Found out there a Hero clan, that happen to be in a different world like us and look like they have the ability to cross world too, but from what his soul inside Ouroboros could tell me. They could only send out 1-6 members of their clan only and can't sustain the gate open unless the members they send out. Either finish their mission they been given or fail the mission, that could lead to their death like right now." I explain to Esdese and Usubeni on what I just learn a few second ago from looking into memory of Knight.

To my surprise, the Hero clan don't even give their members own name, but instead the name of rank and class along with the color of their hair and eyes. The one I just killed was a Battle Knight class in Lower Spirit rank who specialize in complete offense instead of defense. "Damn, I wish I could let my sword drain his blood, but oh well you can't have everything at once. Anyway, anything else we need to know about their clan?" Usubeni ask me as Esdese close the door of the torture chamber.

"Well, there is a class and rank system. They really don't have a name and they take their class, rank, color of their hair and eyes as their name. The one I just killed was Battle Knight, Lower Spirit, Black hair and eyes. From what else I could tell, his name should be Black Battle Spirit Knight." I said a little confused as I scratch the back of my head.

"Weird name, but who cares. What the class and rank?" Esdese ask me as she tilt her head a little to the side as her hat shadow her eyes. "The class, I can't tell what all of them is, since there many different kinds, but the rank is always the same. From the lowest to the highest. Mortal, Spirit, Earth, Heaven, Demigod, God, Highgod and the last is Overlord with a tier in those ranks as well. Lower, Middle and Upper. That's what I got so far, but from the last second of getting the information from the soul. There hasn't been a God rank yet, only a few Demigod that only just lower tier, and their kinda around a few thousand or so years." I inform all I could get from Knight's soul before his memory disappear like the rest of the soul rest in my Murasame and Ouroboros.

"Interesting. Look like we have other worlder to fight as we cross different new world now." Esdese said to me with excitement from the sadist smile on her face. "Wait, then was the Hero's group from the last world we came from the Hero clan world?" Usubeni ask in confuse. "I guess? But then why do they have names?" I ask mostly myself in confuse.

"Maybe they pick random names to make sure others don't know about them belong to the Hero clan?" Esdese give her theory on maybe the Hero's group from Final Fantasy XIII was from the Hero clan world. "Could be, it's not like matter right now. Anyway, from what Esdese and I got from that Night Raid. We learn some of their plans, but the location to their HQ is abandoned now, since we got that guy back in the room." Usubeni said to me about what she and Esdese gain from tortures Lubbock.

"Is he still alive?" I ask a little curiously, since I know he would try to keep some information to his death if he have to. "No, we can't risk him dying on us. When he could have some information we could need, since we couldn't come up with any other questions to ask him." Esdese shook her head on Lubbock not being dead yet, as she explains her reason not to kill him just yet.

"I see, well, we should get some rest for now and wait for the Night Raid to come to the Empire to assassinate someone." I said to both Esdese and Usubeni as I walk toward Esdese's room. "I could get some sleep right about now." Usubeni said to me as she stretches her stiff back. "By the way, you could give me back my pantie back in Esdese's room, or just throw it in your inventory as we have another quick round before sleep." Usubeni said to me as she hugs my right arm while placing my right hand between her legs, that just happen to be wet.

"Usubeni, next time keep your pantie on. I rather not have people notice us in public doing that. Plus, you should have told me before. So, I could get Ragna to hold onto mine to use..." Esdese said to Usubeni as she hugs my left arm and laid her head on my shoulder as we enter Esdese's room.

few days later*

Day?: Success or Failure?!

(Romari)

After a few days doing what we needed, then we head east and arrive at Romari for a quick stop after a few days of traveling. Then after looking around the place a little and meet up back at a fountain in the middle of Romari. "Well, from what I learn. Najenda is continuing east, and Akame is moving south. Their party's been witnessed splitting into two groups after coming here." Esdese reading what's on her clipboard says. As we finished our lunch already, while resting near a fountain. "If you go east, you'll come upon Kyoroch, where the headquarters for The Path of Peace is located. If you keep going south, you'll find cities that support the rebels. In any case, this is suspicious." Bols gives his opinion to everyone.

"If we hurry, we can quickly catch up with them. Let's go!" Wave said to Esdese excited. "No can do." Usubeni reject Wave's idea of chasing after the Night Raid. "Night Raid's members are criminals from the capital. Since the wanted posters haven't circulated to the local regions, they were seen and tracked, and on top of that, they were witnessed splitting into two groups. Isn't this too convenient?" Esdese ask everyone as she looks over the report.

"Yes, I think there's a high probability of this being a trap." Run answer Esdese's question as he gives his input. "What's their reason for standing out on purpose?" Bols asks everyone a little curious. "They're probably trying to lure us out from the capital right now and maybe even try to attack one of us alone with no backup." Usubeni give her theory, since this almost happen to her before, but mostly having to keep on fighting by herself.

"Najenda is like that. She fights calmly with a burning heart." Esdese said with a small smile, but her eyes show she ready for the battle that's to come. "So that means it's dangerous to give chase." Wave said mostly to himself as he got into a thinking pose.

"No, we won't waste this opportunity. Night Raid, who've been cleverly hiding themselves until now, has neatly revealed themselves. We'll prepare for their trap, and then destroy them all without leaving a trace behind. Seryu, Ran, and I will follow Najenda. Kurome, Wave and Bols, you three chase Akame. Ragna and Usubeni will be returning back to the Capital just in case another Night Raid's member try to rescue their member. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, and I don't care if you have to retreat because the enemy's waiting for you with overwhelming numbers. We might be on the offense here, but I'm not telling you to do a suicide attack, after all. They are the final rats who oppose the Capital. Chase them down and finish them, without fail!" Esdese said to everyone.

"ROGER!" All the Jaegers' members shouts to Esdese, then Esdese give me a quick kiss on the lip as she took off to east. "Well, guess we could spend a little time here, then go back to the Capital." I said to Usubeni and my answer was Usubeni hugging my right arm dragging me around the place with a big smile on her face. "Come on then, I want to spend more time with my so call husband." Usubeni said to me as she tighten her hug.

few hours later*

After a few hours has passed, Usubeni and I had spent time together as we walk around town. Looking around the streets, where people place up a spot to sell their items. Even though we don't really need anything from them. So we decided to return the capital, but on the way back to the capital instead of using the light cubes. I have noticed a few souls been following us for a while now.

"What's wrong Ragna?" Usubeni ask me from behind me as we continue riding the horse toward the Capital. "We're being followed." I answer Usubeni's question and I could tell she didn't even need to look back to see them from the way lean closer to me as she took my phantom blade off my right wrist and place onto her. "I got this, just tell me when they get closer." Usubeni said to me while getting use to the phantom blade weights.

Bang* Boom*

"Okay, get ready Usubeni. The people who following us are getting closer by the minute." I said to Usubeni. "Got it." Usubeni replied to me, then without warning I could feel Usubeni changing her position and fire the phantom blade, which I already charge up to with the mana in the air to make it into a bomb. So once Usubeni fired, I heard a someone shouted in surprise, then a small explosion.

"Two dead and three more still alive." Usubeni inform me as I created another phantom blade in my right hand and hand it to Usubeni behind me. By the notice behind me, Usubeni has already loaded the phantom blade and fire again behind us. "Damn, they are catching up and I just barely hit the person." Usubeni scowl at the miss and I gave him another phantom blade as she loaded and aim at the people.

"Okay! I got at least one more. The other two retreated. By the way, I'm keeping this. It's really nice hidden weapon." Usubeni said to me as she grabs the one on my left this time and place it on her own wrist. "I will make more ammo and another variant for you to use them. You will just need to grab it from my inventory whenever you need it." I said to Usubeni, since it looks like she is going into assassin route now.

few hours later*

(Capital)

After making sure there was no one following us on the way back to the Capital. I made the horse goes to the forest, then I use the [Marker] inside Esdese's room to teleport both Usubeni and I back to Esdese's room by using Shambhala while leaving the horse to the wild. "I think we should just go face those Night Raid. I just remember it was south where they are right now." I said to Usubeni when it hit me just now as I remember this is where the Night Raid try to kill Bols and Kurome.

"Let's go then!" Usubeni shout excited as she grabs my right hand as I active the [Marker] on Kurome to teleport to her location.

(Southern Regions: Unknown Mountain)

[Power of The Void Kings] deactivated!

[Bairong Fist] 35MP = 35% Chi

"Ragna? Usubeni? How you two get here or appear here?" Kurome ask in surprise as we appear in front of her and it look like she sitting on a rock. "Just your backup. I will help Bols and Usubeni will go after the sniper." I said to both Usubeni and Kurome who both nodded at me. I dismiss singer's sword and started using a bit of Chi to boost my speed and power.

I release 10% Chi to appear in front of Akame who look at me in shock and a little fear in her eyes, then I use Kaiser Fist with 5% release and send out a quick right jab at Akame, where she place the flat side of her murasame in front of her as my first made contact onto the surface of Akame's blade and blow her a few meters away. "Akame! Bastard!" Leone shout in worry for Akame as she charge at me with her one arm in rage.

I release another 10% Chi to appear behind Leone and send a left palm strike with my last 5% Chi on contact to cause internal injury instead of sending her flying. As Leone cough blood and did a back spin kick at me, but I duck under her kick and use Nabong Needle Ryu Blood Sealing Needle on her leg to cause other internal damage by using my left index finger to strike her leg and she release a scream in pain while still trying to attack me with her right arm.

'Room. Counter Shock.' I create a spherical space around Leone and I for just a few second and release a strong electrical surge through my right hand, then send a palm strike. Sending Leone flying across the area and crash next to Najenda who is glaring at me with killer intent. "Ragna?!" Bols shout in surprise as he fires more fireballs at the Night Raid, but they keep dodging.

"Go to Kurome's location and stay close to her. It's better to stay together than fight the Night Raid alone. Well, beside me that is." I said to Bols, then I throw a smoke bomb at the ground as a grayish smoke screen appears in the area. "What the hell?!" Leone shout in surprise. "Hurry up and get out of there! Akame deal with him!" Najenda shout at Leone, then order Akame to stop me from attacking the others.

I sidestep to Akame's right side and grab her right hand with her murasame in it, right as she try swinging at me. Akame look at me in surprise at the change of speed than compare to the last time. As she time my attack just little too late and before she knew it. I kneed in Akame's stomach, causing her to cough a little, then I put a little pressure on Akame's right hand, causing her to loose her grip, but that all I needed as I took her Teigu right out of her hand as she look at surprise and in horror of losing her weapon.

I was just about place an illusion on Akame, but Leone tries to punch me in the face. I quickly jump away, but still kept Akame's murasame in my left hand. "Damn it! He has Akame's murasame!" Leone shout to Najenda in panic, since it look like Akame is there main attacker.

I toss Akame's murasame in the air causing everyone to look at the Teigu in midair. As I send out a Venomous Bite, where I send Ouroboros to wrap around Leone, before she could escape, with chains of Ouroboros, then the serpent bite Leone as it injects a poison, which cause Leone to fall to the ground from losing the control of both her legs.

"Leone!" Najenda shout in panic as she fires her metal fist at me as it detach from her right arm, but still connected with a metal wire. I punch the metal fist with my own with the fist infuse with the last 5% Chi and to my surprise the metal fist wasn't destroyed at all while trying to force me to move away from them. I notice Akame already catch her Teigu from midair already and ready to attack me again.

[Creation Magic]:

Time Formation: area of effect factor + stop effect factor + center user factor + pulse dome form + pause all technique till spell over factor + durabilty 1 second unless increase mana input factor = Absolute Delay

'Absolute Delay!' I cast out my new time spell, where everyone around me pause for a single second just enough time for me active another skill.

[Deathgod Domain] activated!

As my body release a purple flame-like around me as everyone could feel my murderous aura and could feel the pressure on them. "Is this guy really human?" Najenda ask mostly herself as she looks at me with fear and I could see the sweat forming on her. "We need to retreat." Akame said to her leader as her expression shows she calm, but by the sweat forming on her forehead and the way her hands are gripping her Teigu even tighter as she stood in front of Najenda with her murasame pointing at me.

Ding*

[Deathgod Domain] level up to 4!

Ding*

[Deathgod Domain] level up to 5!

Ding*

[Deathgod Domain] level up to 6!

Ding*

[Deathgod Domain] level up to 7!

'Damn, look like I won't be able to level it up 10 now, since it's getting a little harder to level up now. Or maybe it depends on who the opponent? Maybe the numbers of who has being affected?' I thought about how [Deathgod Domain] level up, since it already reaches level 7.

"Ragna! Before you attack. Could I ask Akame one question?" Bols quickly ask me before I could do anything while I could tell he a little shaken and flinch, when I look at him.

[Deathgod Domain] deactivated!

"Fine." I said to Bols as I step aside, but I could tell the Akame, Leone and Najenda are still on their guard and I could see Leone still trying to get out of Ouroboros's bind with just her arm alone. I snap my fingers, then Ouroboros chains disappear, causing Leone to yelp in surprise and to my surprise, she was able to stand up, but a little shaken. 'Look like her body heal is better than I thought.' I secretly praise Leone's Teigu.

"Akame, why did you join the Revolutionary Army? If you had stayed our ally, you would've been a heartening presence." Bols ask Akame a little curious about what her answer is. Akame hit her chest softly with her left hand and said, "It's because my heart decided that joining the Revolutionary Army is what it want. I walk the path that I believe in and not follow the Empire like a mindless drone ever again!" Akame shout her answer to Bols' question even if she still a little shaken and looking at me with wary.

"That's an easy to understand answer. Thank you. I'm glad there are people like you out there who could truly follow what their heart want, but to burn you along with that belief is my job!" Bols shout at Akame as he aims his Teigu at Akame's direction with Leone and Najenda behind her. "Now just one second Bols. I think we should give them a chance to leave this place without us hunting them. I would like to make a deal with them." I stop Bols from burning them alive.

"But, Commander Esdese would want us to kill the Night Raid." Bols tries to reason with me, but I just shook my head at him. "Don't worry, Esdese would understand if I explain her my reason for this and why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to regroup with Kurome?!" I shout at Bols, who flinch again as he quickly run off to Kurome's location. I look back at the 3 Night Raid's members who didn't even bother to chase after Bols, since they know I would easily kill them if they do.

"Now, since he is gone. How about I introduce myself-" "Ragna The Destroyer, we already know your name." Najenda cut me off as she glare at me. "Hmm...shouldn't of known that a former general could easily find out my name easily, or maybe it's because you found my name from Leone who gone to that tournament, that Esdese sponsor." I praise Najenda a little with a smirk on my face as I look at them.

"Get on with the deal you wanted to tell us!" Leone shout at me with rage as she bares her fangs at me. "You really need to calm down there kitty or no milk for you later." I mock Leone who looks like she forgot what I did to her before as she was about to pounce at me, but Najenda and Akame stop her from doing a reckless action. 'Now, that I think about. Why haven't killed them already. Oh yeah...killing girls have always left a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well, most of the time Esdese and sometime Claire would kill them off before I found out.' I thought to myself.

"Well, here the deal. Ah! Forgot one more thing!" I was about to tell them my deal, but I quickly trace multiple [Gae Bolg] behind me and pierces through Susanoo who was about to sneak attack me, but end up pierced by multiple [Gae Bolg]. I gave a mental command to keep Susanoo stay in one place and most of the [Gae Bolg] pierces a few of Susanoo's joints to stop him from moving a little.

"Susanoo! Damn it!" Najenda shout in panic as it looks like they were counting on Susanoo to take me out in a sneak attack. "Now, that wasn't very nice. So...how about I tell you my deal?" I said to Najenda with a small smile as I release the illusion under my eyes, causing them to look at me even more fear of seeing my true eyes with the sharingan showing.

Omake: The Excalibur!

"Okay! Where the hell are we?!" Yang shout in rage as we continue walking through a cave we found in some dimension we came across to train my daughters on working together as a team. "I think we should of gone to that dimension with a bunch of weird metal creatures." Hina said with a pout as she crosses her arms against her chest. "You mean those akuma? We're going to that world later." Mizuki said to Hina as she let out a sigh at the lack of patience her older step-sister have.

"Hey, Weiss. Did you figure out which dimension we enter?" Yang asks Weiss as we continue walking through the cave with Esdese walking aside looking around in case of an enemy ambush us. "Kind of, but not sure just yet. Maybe we should of bring Akabeni with us. She has been studying on tracking and traps along with magic." Weiss said to Yang as she reading her book.

"Man...I wish Usubeni would come with us..." Yang said a little depress, since Usubeni, Akabeni, Claire and Serah stayed behind to watch over the Abyss Auction with Enzo and Gaia. "You know, I still wonder why Mom Esdese would freeze the water." Hina said a little curious as we walk on a frozen path. "Because Mom doesn't feel like having her feet being wet too long and that this isn't the beach either." Koyuki reply to Hina in her Esdese place.

"I'm more glad Mom Esdese did, because I would have to swim the whole time." Mizuki said a little annoy from still being small. "Chibi..." Hina whisper, but Mizuki heard her by the way she glares at Hina. "Hina, stop teasing your little sister." Weiss said to Hina as she continues reading her book while holding my left hand with right hand to make sure she don't get lost and because she like holding my hand.

Then a tiny female figure, that look like a fairy with the pair of wing she have as she flying in front of us. "Hi!" said the tiny female fairy. "A fairy! Look Daddy! A real fairy!" Hina shout excited as she looks at me while pointing at the fairy. "Hey, is there any treasure in this cave or monster to fight?" Koyuki asks the fairy in a polite tone. The fairy didn't say anything, but she look at the side with a sneer on her face and without a word she flies away.

"Rude much?" Yang asks a little surprise and a little anger at the fairy for not even replying to her step-daughter's question. "Not all beings, we come across would be nice and even they do. Most of them end up dead for trying to trick us to steal our stuff or trying to kill us when our guards down." Esdese said to Yang and reminding her what happen before on the way here.

"Yeah, you're right." Yang said to Esdese as we continue walking through the cave path and we end up in an open area with a golden sword stab through ground ready to be pulled out. "Where have I seen this before?" I thought out loud and narrow my eyes at the golden sword that look very familiar to somewhere.

"Look! I pulled it out!" Hina shout excited as she broke my trace of thoughts. "I think you should put it back Hina. We don't know if the sword is cursed or not." Mizuki said to Hina as she looks at the golden sword with wary. "I agree with Mizuki. Hina put it back in the ground." Koyuki said to Hina as she creates an ice sword in case of a fight about to begin.

"Ragna...doesn't that sword look kind of familiar?" Esdese said to me with a little venom in her voice as she glares at the golden sword in Hina's hand. "Welcome, young ones." said an unknown male voice causing everyone to be on guards, then the golden sword in Hina's hand started to glow, causing her to yelp in surprise as she throw the golden sword away as she put her fists up to punch, but the golden sword just floats in the air while glowing even more.

"Forgive the belated salutations. I am Excalibur!" said the unknown male voice coming from the golden sword, which call itself Excalibur. "Oh no..." I said in despair as a bright golden flash appears, blinding everyone in surprise to some of us shout in surprise. After the light faded away a new figure appear in the same area, where we are.

"H-How incredibly...lame." Hina said mostly to herself as we look at a thing, that has a prominent upturned snort, while the remainder of its small white body display slender limbs and feet strangely akin to those of a rabbit. With a white top hat that nearly equals him in height and a similarly colored shirt with a frilled ruff, worn under a white jacket and have a cane in his left hand.

"Are you sure you're the Holy Sword? Because Daddy here has an Excalibur and it doesn't look like you at all." Hina asks Excalibur in confuse and disappointed at finding out, that the golden sword is really Excalibur from Soul Eater from what she remember watching the show in her free time.

"Then, if I might ask, where the so call Excalibur?!" Excalibur shout at Hina as he points his cane near Hina's face. I point my [Excalibur] at the Excalibur's neck as I narrow my eyes at him. "Fool! Do you think this puny sword is the same league as me?!" Excalibur shout in rage as he looks at my [Excalibur] with disgust, which piss me off a little.

"You know what-"

"Fool!"

"Hey! I'm-"

"Fool!"

"You wanna-!"

"Fool!"

"Die!"

"Fool!" Excalibur taunts Hina as she charge right at him with her fist rise to smash him through the ground, but Excalibur trip her with his cane by pulling her left leg with his cane. "You're dead!" Koyuki shout at Excalibur as she throws a few ice senbon at Excalibur, but he blocks them with his cane. Sadly, he didn't notice Mizuki appear behind him and stab him in the back of both Excalibur's shoulders with her two kitchen knives.

"GAH! FOOL! You dare injure me?! The Excalibur!" Excalibur shot in rage as he active his Madness of Anger causes everyone to feel a little danger. I use Wind Step to appear behind Excalibur with Murasame in my left hand and [Excalibur] in my right as I try to cut Excalibur's head off, but Excalibur uses one of his abilities to teleport away from my sneak attack.

I air trick behind him again and try to pierce his body with Murasame and he was surprised of seeing me appear behind him again, but quickly teleported again. Sadly, for him I knew he would teleport again, so I already got the girls to stand near the wall of the cave to see where Excalibur will appear next, where they could attack him with their long-range attacks.

few hours later*

This keeps on going for a few hours with me teleporting behind or side to cut him with either Murasame or [Excalibur] and some time together, but Excalibur would escape by teleport just barely. "Fool! Fool! Fool! FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! EVERYONE OF YOU ARE A FOOL!" Excalibur shout in angry as he tries to attack us with his holy explosion, but either Weiss or I would block it before he could cause an explosion, then he tries to use his use one of his variant technique with his cane to attack one of us from afar. Too bad I use one of Murasame's abilities to counter his spatial attacks.

"FOOL! I grew bored of this! I shall take my leave now! Fool the lots of you!" Excalibur shout at us as he teleport away from this area. "That was the worst fight I ever been in my whole lifetime." Esdese said in a deadpan as she dismiss most of her icicles and ice sword in her hands. "Now, I know why you frown most of the time when you see Dad use his Excalibur." Koyuki said to Mizuki who been twitchy a few times and the one who tries to kill Excalibur multiple time with a cold angry expression on her face with countless number of times on almost killing Excalibur.

"Let's get out of here already. I rather not stay and wait for that thing! There no way that thing could be called Excalibur!" Weiss growl in rage as she stomp on the ground, making a small crater as she release a burst of holy energy. "Well, I learn to never judge a good looking sword, that could be amazing, because I may end up with a stupid thing." Hina said mostly to herself as she follows Weiss to the exit route of this place.
