Hi, everyone. I want to apologize for my slower update than before. To be honest, school is really catching up with me. I will be busier as time progresses, but as I promised before, I will try my best to keep at least one update every three days.
I have the future contents this story planned, but execution can only happen if time allows.
And thank you for your continuing support, it really keeps me going.
Chapter 37 Battlefield
"Hah!"
Tatsumi can only watch. Everything comes with such speed and efficiency. Minutes ago, he was still that confident young man who does not fear for anything on the battlefield, but now, the young boy is definitely astonished.
To think that this "big brother" of the Night Raid assassins has been caring for him, telling him that he has not familiarize himself with the fighting styles of the trained assassins just now, Tatsumi feels so conflicted as to this point.
Because he totally did not pay attention to what Bulat was instructing…
But that does not matter anymore.
"THAT WAS SO COOL!"
Observing the man who killed at least five assassins with his giant triangular red spear in just one swing, Tatsumi is overwhelmed.
"This, Tatsumi, is a Teigu! For a person that does not possess any powerful weapons, you must train hard to catch up with us!"
"Yes, bro!"
At least Hei can finally take a break from his dedicated fanboy now.
…
On the other side of the forest, a pinkette is currently laying on the ground, holding a giant gun between her arms, and focusing on something in the distance.
Isn't her position a little bit too exposed for a sniper?
"Go to Hell, Night Raid!"
Before Mine can pull the trigger, an enemy assassin dashes straight out of the hidden bushes from her back. Observing his soaked clothes, one can clearly tell that he has been hiding there for a long while.
"Idiot."
"What did you…"
SHUNK!
Before the assassin can finish his sentence, his body is cut in half by a reflective pair of scissors. Giant scissors.
Seeing the innards of her victim, a purple-haired girl walks toward the focused Mine from her back, smiling at her companion at the same time.
"Thanks, Sheele. I will show those idiots what it means…"
BANG!
A golden stream of light bursts from the end of the Pumpkin, shooting effortlessly through the branches after branches of obstacles. Like a giant flood, the pinkette sniper successfully eliminates her two targets without breaking a sweat.
"… to cross us."
No wonder some are willing to consider the Pumpkin to be the best Teigu among all of the ones Night Raid members possess.
…
Letting out a heavy sigh, a green-haired boy at somewhere else is debating on one the of hardest choices of his life.
"Please…"
Looking at the source of the light sound, a female assassin just fell into his webbing trap.
"Why do I always get the bad choice?"
Ranting about his current predicament, the young assassin looks at the woman inside his web of steel wires, and sighs again.
"You know, I really don't like to kill ladies…"
Hearing his words, the disparate assassin can almost see a glimpse of hope for her to grasp.
"But, what can I do? Sometimes, one must commit those actions against his will, so he can survive."
Watching the helpless woman once again, Lubbock switches on a cruel smile, and…
CRACK.
The steel wires easily cut through her flesh and separates the bones around her neck into small pieces within a single second.
"Such a shame. Why am I always the unlucky one?"
…
Walking through the deadly forest, the duo dressed in black have been searching for another round after they cleared the intruders in their respective area a few minutes ago.
It is not that Hei cannot use his Type-Delta Electron Manipulation to determine where the enemies are. In fact, Hei has already done that after Akame sent the last of the intruders to eternal rest.
It is just that... Hei has been observing the crimson-eyed girl behind him secretly by focusing all of his contractor powers onto the inside of her body through these patrols.
Yes, that is very rude and invasive.
But Hei doesn't care.
Unlike seeing normal electrons inside human bodies, whenever Hei concentrates his power to a certain degree, that strange surge of silver energy can always be seen.
"Interesting." The Black Reaper's eyes are clearly pointing toward what is ahead of him, but his mental focus is totally immersed inside the image of the silver light behind him.
"Physical quantity unstable. No natural science has any record on the formulation of such energy. Subject contains a certain degree of biological characteristics. Self-motivation inclined."
"While Akame declares her vision of Yin in her dreams, it is rather illogical, at least in the axioms of the traditional scientific world, to consider such encounter planned. To consider supernatural implications – "
Hei suddenly realizes something.
"Counterintuitive reasoning must be factorized."
