I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 178 The Sword Arrives!

[Brand @ Anonymous: Miss Light, um... did you do what happened to Sheila?]

Bulma: Shira? Who's that?

[Nameless: A scumbag who has committed countless evil deeds; you can think of him as an even more ruthless Naraku.]

[Anonymous: Yes, I did it. Has the Revolutionary Army received the news yet? @Brand]

[Brand: Yes, not only us, Minister Ernest may have also received the news. The Imperial Capital Garrison has been very active these past few days, not only increasing the intensity of patrols in the morning and evening, but also searching everywhere for someone with similar physical features to you... Akame has already been questioned by them two or three times, and was almost arrested.]

Because of these circumstances, several of our planned assassination operations have been cancelled. If you are planning to visit the capital soon, please be careful.

"...Red Eyes?"

Inside the bunker.

Uchiha Hikaru was slightly taken aback before she realized what he meant—

When she attacked Sheila and her group in the small town in the central region, she displayed her Mangekyou Sharingan.

Many people witnessed that scene, and besides Dortja who escaped, others present might have taken the news out and sent it to Ernest.

Akame's age and height are very close to hers, and they both have black hair and red eyes... It is indeed possible to mistake one for the other without ever having seen her in person.

but……

[Anonymous: Thanks for the reminder. Please convey my apologies to Akame. Also, I'm already in the capital now and will be as careful as possible.]

As they were talking.

Uchiha Hikaru's hands didn't stop moving as he continuously packed boxes of jewelry into the sealing scroll.

Regardless of Sheila's personal character, he did at least do one good thing before he died.

Before arriving at this bunker, Uchiha Hikaru could never have imagined that he would one day see mountains of gold and silver piled up before him. Compared to Minister Ernest, who had usurped power, the wealth accumulated by these local gentry was merely a small fry.

After a while, it was loaded.

Hikaru Uchiha was running out of capsules and sealing scrolls, and started thinking about whether he should have Bulma temporarily return to the Dragon Ball world to get him a few more boxes of capsules...

"...Lord Guang, it seems someone is coming from outside!"

Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.

Kosmia, who was keeping watch at the bunker entrance, walked back down the steps and whispered a warning to Uchiha Hikaru.

"oh."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded, calmly placing the last two boxes of gold and silver jewelry into the sealing scroll, then slowly walked out of the empty storage room: "Were they from the Imperial Capital Garrison?"

"right……"

Kosmia glanced back into the passage they had come from, her expression clearly tense. "Lord Hikaru, I think we should leave here as soon as possible. Although you are very powerful, there are many experts in the Imperial Capital Garrison, and the Imperial Fist Temple isn't far from here. What if we get entangled with them..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."

Uchiha Hikaru chuckled. "You don't actually think I came to the capital just for this little treasure, do you?"

"...What do you mean?"

"Since we're already here, we should definitely make a big move."

Ernest will definitely be killed.

After all, this guy is just as disgusting as his son Sheila, and is one of the darkest aspects of the empire. If we can get rid of him, we must do so completely.

and……

Uchiha Hikaru also had another consideration—

In the original story, Esdeath's "Devil's Essence" was initially kept by Ernest, and the jeweled Teigu that destroyed Leone's "Lion King" was also in his possession. So, it's possible that this guy doesn't have other hidden Teigu. If he could get them all at once, it would save me the trouble of searching for them.

present.

Uchiha Hikaru brought Kosmia to the ground.

Just as this witch songstress said.

The surrounding dense forest had become increasingly shadowy.

There were nearly a hundred people gathered here from various parts of the woods. Most of them were fully armed and carrying spears, while a few were holding some strange weapons. There was also a young girl holding a small dog.

"...Lord Hikaru, those people might be Imperial Arms Users."

Kosmia cautiously hid behind Uchiha Hikaru, peering ahead: "I heard from Sheila that the thing that looks like a puppy is actually a biological Imperial Arm called the 'Hundred-Handed Giant.' It grows very large during battle and can regenerate continuously as long as its core isn't destroyed... It's very dangerous."

"……oh."

Uchiha Hikaru calmly drew the Dragon Bone Blade from behind his back and infused it with spiritual power.

The heart is beating.

The three-meter-long blade reappeared.

then……

"Listen up, everyone. I'll count to three, and anyone who dares to enter will die!"

Uchiha Hikaru's tongue crackled like thunder in spring, its clear sound echoing through the forest.

"...What is she saying?"

"What do you mean, count to three... Do you think we're children who would be scared by something like that?"

"Seryu, this villain might be quite formidable. In a moment, put Keke into berserk mode and make sure to kill him here!"

"Yes, Master! Seryu will do her best!"

"..."

Because of the distance, Hikaru Uchiha couldn't hear the conversation between these security team members. However, their attitude was clearly revealed through their actions.

"Sigh...it seems you still don't understand the preciousness of life."

Uchiha Hikaru sighed softly, held the Dragon Bone Blade horizontally to his right chest, took a deep breath, and then swung the blade horizontally!

This moment!

A semi-circular slash erupted from the blade, flying out towards the front of the bunker with tremendous force!

"Crescent Moon Anecho!!"

It was as if a scene from the governor's mansion was being replayed.

With a flash of the blade, the forest in front of them vanished.

To be precise, a blinding white light engulfed the trees, and along with them, the guards. Captain Oka, Seryu with his twisted sense of justice, and the other unnamed guards vanished in an instant. The sounds of falling trees continued unabated, and huge plumes of dust rose into the air.

When everything calmed down, the forest, which covered an area of ​​several miles, had become a scene of devastation.

Only a few people were still alive, but they were all trapped under the trees, looking at the bunker with terrified eyes.

At this time.

Hikaru Uchiha placed the Dragon Bone Blade back behind his back, raised his right hand, and opened his palm: "...Sword, come!"

Word of Power: Sword Control!

This moment.

The scattered, broken spears and swords rose into the air and gathered together in mid-air.

Uchiha Hikaru, carrying Kosmia, used the Flying Technique to fly to the blade of one of the broadswords, then stepped on it and, under the watchful eyes of the guards, soared into the air towards the inner part of the Imperial Capital, towards Minister Ernest's residence!
