I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 170 Sheila's Intelligence

Next.

Uchiha Hikaru spent some time questioning each of the night raiders.

Lubbock and Sheele revealed some information to her, while Akame, Mine, and Leone had not explored the origins of their Imperial Arms, simply using them as weapons—or perhaps they had, but were not familiar with her and did not want to go into details.

After asking around...

Uchiha Hikaru stroked his chin and looked at Lubbock again: "I'm a little curious... Miss Hill's 'Severing All Things' is said to be able to cut through anything in the world, while Mr. Lubbock's 'Boundary Line' is said to be so strong that even space itself cannot be torn, so..."

What would happen if we used the concept of "severing all things" to cut the "boundary line"?

Lubbock and Hill: "?"

Of course, Lubbock and his companion would never conduct an experiment that could damage the Imperial Arms just to satisfy Uchiha Hikaru's curiosity.

Uchiha Hikaru had no choice but to try a different approach, using his +3 Dragon Bone Blade to test the hardness of "Boundary Line" and "All Things Cut".

The conclusion reached is...

Both can cut through a keel.

However, because the dragon bone knife has its own reconnection and recovery capabilities, there is no need to worry about the knife being damaged.

"According to Miss Hill, the main material for 'Severing All Things' is a rare metal called Orichalcos, which is also the main material for forging Murasame and Pumpkin Cannon. However, the crafting process for Orichalcos was lost hundreds of years ago..."

"I wonder if any of the nobles in the capital have any stockpiled..."

In theory, Imperial Arms cannot be replicated.

In addition to using a large amount of extremely dangerous materials and rare metals, these weapons also utilize many lost crafting techniques. A thousand years ago, an emperor attempted to forge a new Imperial Arms, but only obtained a batch of inferior products with poor performance, thus self-deprecatingly calling them "Minister's Arms."

but……

The world of Akame ga Kill! cannot be copied, but other worlds may be different.

Perhaps Totosai, Bulma, the Three Sacred Lands Sages, and Norton, the Fire King from the Dragon Raja world who is proficient in alchemy, have a way to process these materials.

……

The next few days.

Uchiha Hikaru stayed at the Night Raid base and sparred with Brand, Akame, and the others several more times.

To be fair, both Brand and Akame are quite skilled swordsmen.

Especially Akame, whose assassination swordsmanship is sharp and cunning. In a contest of skill alone, she needs to maintain full concentration to avoid being stabbed.

of course……

That's how it was at the very beginning.

As Uchiha Hikaru gradually used his Sharingan to copy Akame's swordsmanship, he became more adept at dealing with her.

In return for "learning" swordsmanship, Uchiha Hikaru also demonstrated "breathing techniques" to Akame. The latter actually mastered "Flame Breathing" in just a few days and used it very skillfully.

Brand is more compatible with "Breathing of Rock," but his learning speed is much slower than Akame's.

Speaking of which...

The "breathing techniques" of the Demon Slayer world are actually very versatile; people from Naruto, Dragon Ball, and Akame ga Kill! can all learn and use them. Moreover, because the physiques of characters like Bulang are far superior to those of Tanjiro and others in the Demon Slayer world, the improvement they experience is even more astonishing with the same level of enhancement.

For this, Brand and Akame were very grateful to Uchiha Hikaru.

"It's alright, I just did it on the spur of the moment."

Uchiha Hikaru paused, then glanced at Brand again: "Your 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' has the remnant soul of the super dangerous species Tyrande residing inside it. You'd better be careful when using it... You can ask Kikyo in the group to see if she has any way to help you solve this problem."

"...I'll be careful."

Brand nodded.

Actually, getting rid of Tyrande's remnant soul is not difficult.

Even Uchiha Hikaru could do it.

However, the special abilities of being possessed by the demon—such as invisibility and strong environmental adaptability—are likely only available because of Tyrande's remnant soul. Maintaining these abilities while eliminating the drawbacks of "Dragon Transformation" would be quite difficult.

In the past few days.

Uchiha Hikaru also tried to challenge the other members of "Night Raid" to a duel.

Lubbock's physical skills are quite remarkable, and with his skillful use of "Cross Tail," his overall combat ability should be ranked third among "Night Raid."

Of course, with the Sharingan's visual abilities, the "Cross Tail" technique has virtually no room to be used.

On the contrary, Leone, who is tall, is basically a self-taught fighter with no real technique, but she is good at resisting blows.

By the way...

Among the Imperial Arms of the "Night Raid" members, Uchiha Hikaru was actually most interested not in the "Cross Tail," but in something else entirely—

Mine's "Pumpkin Turret".

The function of this Imperial Arm is to convert spiritual energy into shockwaves and launch them out. In the original work, Mine even killed the powerful General Budo in one shot at the cost of overdrawing her spiritual power and damaging the Imperial Arm in an extremely critical situation.

Uchiha Hikaru pondered that his mental strength was not weak either.

If she were to use this Imperial Arms and fire a shot...

Could we just instantly destroy that "Guardian God of the Nation"?

……

On this day, as the week was drawing to a close.

Najenda has finally returned. She brought with her a batch of supplies, as well as the map that Uchiha Hikaru had requested.

There are two copies of the map.

"This is a map of the capital city. As you requested, it marks the residences of some nobles. These men have committed unforgivable crimes: murder, arson, corruption, framing loyal officials, and the abduction of young girls... The people want them all dead. However, because they are cautious and their residences are heavily guarded, the 'night raid' has been unable to find an opportunity to strike..."

"This is also a map of the empire. According to the divination, Sheila and her party are located in this area."

As she spoke, Najendan drew a circle on the second map with her finger: "However, this location is more than a thousand kilometers away from here. If we rush there now, it will take at least several days to get there, and by then, Sheila may no longer be here."

This is the normal situation.

but……

"Thank you for the information, but you won't need to worry about taking action."

After obtaining the two maps.

After a moment's consideration, Uchiha Hikaru chose Shira as his first target.

present.

She used her aerial magic to leap into the air, and then, to the astonishment of Najenda and the others, flew off in the direction indicated on the map.

Inside the mountain valley.

Leone opened her mouth: "See, I told you she was a super dangerous species in human form..."
