"It's a pity that we can't cook it since we only have the skeleton."

Casandora, who manipulated the ring with four hands, seemed somewhat regretful, as if in her eyes all her prey could be turned into a dish for Mela to taste.

Despite saying that, Casandora showed no mercy in her attack. She threw out four rings, which flew in an unpredictable arc towards the black-eyed and red-eyed figures standing above Cerberus.

"Don't think about it!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Akame, who had been keeping a close eye on her surroundings, precisely slashed down Casandora's attack. In order to control Cerberus, Kurome had basically lost most of her mobility, and her own safety depended on Akame.

"You want to attack me, the one who controls you, directly? While that's the most effective method, haven't you forgotten something?"

Hei Tong is not a novice who has no combat experience and only has strength. Over the years, Lin Yu has assigned her many assassination missions. In this corrupt empire, there are countless assassination targets. Lin Yu can find several by simply taking a walk around the capital. After finding out the target's strength and background, he will have Hei Tong carry out the mission. So far, she has been able to complete every single one perfectly.

In the shadows, the seven corpses, who had only shown their faces briefly at the beginning and then disappeared due to their lack of strength, also began to move. They were all targets used by Lin Yu to train Hei Tong, and each of them possessed strength no less than that of Hei Tong herself. However, without exception, they were all killed by Hei Tong and even became puppets that she could manipulate at will.

Clang!

The sound of a blade being drawn rang out beside Casandora. The twin-tailed maid leaped lightly, dodging the sneak attack from the corpse behind her. At the same time, the four rings that Akame had knocked away somehow returned to her hands.

"It also lacks any life force. Is it an Imperial Arms user with the ability to manipulate corpses? It's been a long time since I've encountered one like that."

With a somewhat aloof personality, Casandora gazed calmly at the lifeless yet still moving doll before her. The two looked quite similar, both so silent and heartless. If it weren't for the fact that its heart was still beating, Casandora and the corpse doll standing together would not have seemed out of place at all.

"Since you're already dead but can still move, I'll kill you one more time."

Thinking this, Casandora threw the rings in her hand. She seemed to have the ability to control the rings, which changed direction after leaving her hand, confusing her opponents while concealing deadly intent.

"..."

Casandora was facing a rough-looking man who once held considerable power in the capital. Coupled with his own strength, he had committed countless evil deeds, secretly abducting dozens of girls and keeping them as playthings for him. Even when he was assassinated by Black Eyes, he was still in bed ignoring the girls' cries and resistance, and even enjoying it all.

The dolls killed and controlled by Hachifusa retain some of their instincts from their previous lives. This man even showed a longing expression towards Casandora after his death, an expression of desire to pin Casandora down on the bed and do whatever he wanted to her!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Regardless of his character, his strength is undeniable. If he hadn't been so careless when Kurohime tried to assassinate him, Kurohime wouldn't have succeeded so easily.

The katana in his hand swiftly and precisely slashed down the incoming ring, the glint of desire in his eyes intensifying. This time, even the taciturn Casandora noticed it, since Mela would show the same look in her eyes even in bed.

However, Casandora had long been accustomed to Mela's presence, and the sudden appearance of such an older man in such a manner was simply unbearable!

"nausea!"

With a light spit, Casandora's previously lazy eyes turned serious. This time, instead of throwing the ring, she chose to rush forward herself!

Clang! Clang!

Casandora's attacks rained down like raindrops, initially a light drizzle, but soon turning into a torrential downpour!

Compared to Casandora, the corpse's attacks were also exceptionally swift, but he only had a knife and two hands, while Casandora had four hands. He was quickly put at a complete disadvantage and seemed to be in danger of being killed at any moment.

"Hmm, one of the collectibles is already on the verge of collapse so quickly. They are indeed much weaker than my brother's gifts."

Kurohime turned her gaze away from Casandora with some distress. After all, she was moving out of town sitting on the middle head of Cerberus. She had used the remaining corpses to hold back Oberg's people. If Cerberus launched an attack in the town, the impact would be too great, and Kurohime was still somewhat hesitant to act rashly.

"Never mind."

The troubled expression didn't last more than a few seconds before it was replaced by a smile.

"Anyway, they're just a bunch of useless guys. The most important thing is that Cerberus is alright."

At this moment, Kuroko's mentality is like that of a child. He can give up unimportant 'toys' without a second thought. The real show is yet to come!

"Uh?"

Just as Kuroko was thinking this, her expression suddenly changed.

"A corpse has decomposed? And it wasn't from that direction?"

Black Eyes suddenly turned his gaze in another direction.

"If I remember correctly, there should have been four corpses holding things back!"

When facing the people of Oberg, Kurohime used Yafu to summon all the corpses, but apart from Cerberus who was sitting there, the other seven corpses were not evenly distributed.

Because she felt the greatest sense of oppression from the woman who was leading them!

"A second body? How could it be so fast?"

Before Kurohime could figure out what was happening, she quickly received unbelievable messages from her senses.

"The third one!"

They had already moved quite a distance away. Cerberus moved so fast that Kurome couldn't see what was happening behind her. She only knew that three of the puppets she controlled had been lost in a very short period of time!

And they're all in the same direction!

"Kuro-touch, what's wrong?"

Although Akame was on guard around her, she noticed Kurome's change in expression and immediately asked.

"Three of the seven corpses I used to hold them off are already lost..."

Before Hei Tong could finish speaking, she had already received a new message.

"This is... the fourth one..."

Kurome knew very well that the corpses other than Cerberus could not stop the elites of the Oberg Assassination Society for too long, but the loss of four corpses in just about a minute since she and Akame left was still hard for her to accept. After all, if they did not use their Imperial Arms, each of those corpses had a combat power similar to hers!

boom!

Cerberus abruptly stopped, the sudden halt almost throwing the unprepared Kurohime and Akame off their feet. Fortunately, their basic skills were solid enough that they managed to regain their footing.

"Cerberus, what's wrong?"

Even though she knew the corpse couldn't speak, Kuroko still asked the question; the girl seemed a little naive.

"My bugs have blocked all the gaps in its bones!"

A sweet voice came from somewhere, and the two sisters simultaneously stood at attention. In front of them, Mela was slowly walking out!

"As expected of a super dangerous species, sealing off a joint without you noticing is no easy feat!"

Mela's face was full of strange smiles. At the joints of Cerberus, where only bones remained, black beetles could be vaguely seen crawling on them. It was these seemingly insignificant little beetles that completely restricted the movements of the super dangerous species Cerberus!

279. Failure and Surprise Attack!

"Tsk tsk, as expected, I still lack experience."

Hiding in the shadows, Lin Yu had no intention of helping. He continued to watch the show. Occasional setbacks were a good thing for the two girls. Besides, Mela didn't seem to be planning to kill them. Otherwise, even if Black Eyes could control a super dangerous species, he wouldn't last long. Mela's strength was quite formidable.

Since the two girls were not in any danger, he didn't bother to get involved.

"Even Cerberus is unable to move?"

With its biggest trump card restricted, a reckless attack on the town would inevitably lead to its complete destruction, but if it doesn't launch an attack, Cerberus has already lost its ability to move, and it seems to be stuck in a stalemate.

"Wait, another toy is stuck!"

Even more disadvantageous is that the corpses of those sent out to hold off the remaining Oberg members are beginning to lose their mobility one after another, which means that if enemy reinforcements arrive, they will have no chance of winning!

"Sister, it seems the only option now is to kill her!"

The fish in his hand was swatted away by Gozchi like a fly. Outside the door, beetles covered the corpses. Apart from the elite assassins who were the final targets, there were no survivors in this merchant guild.

"No wonder it's so quiet. I wonder how Tsukushi and the others, as well as Akame and the others who went out, are doing now."

The two quickly made their way through the merchant guild. Their priority was to reunite with Tsukushi and the others. On the way, they happened to run into Guy and Nahashu, who were fighting off the swarm of insects.

280. A huge disparity in strength?

"These are... an enemy attack?"

In the girls' room, Tsukushi, who was just about to take a bath, was attacked by beetles. Fortunately, she had already noticed them beforehand and managed to dodge them in time.

She only had time to wrap a towel around herself before she stepped out of the bathroom and found that the room was now covered with swarms of black beetles!

"What are these?! How disgusting! There are so many of them all at once!"

Bonnie seemed to dislike the dense swarm of beetles, with a look of disgust on his face.

"We can hear the sounds of fighting outside. It looks like an attack, which is a very unfavorable situation!"

It's no wonder Tsukushi said that they were ambushed without any warning. Moreover, judging from the number of these beetles, such a large-scale invasion did not cause any disturbance. Obviously, all the imperial spies in this merchant guild are dead, and even the elite members of the assassination squad are not in good shape.

"Let's leave here and head to the meeting point. Akame and Kurome are out. Green and the others should be relatively safe with their father there. It's us who might be used as a weak point."

Cornelia calmly analyzed the situation. As the oldest among the girls, she needed to stay calm, especially in times like these, and she immediately made a judgment.

"Ok!"

Bang!

A loud crash rang out from one side of the room, and the specially reinforced wall was violently smashed open. Gilbert and Casandora, dressed in maid outfits, walked in from outside. Gilbert, who was the most fond of violence, had already started clenching her fists.

"Looks like it's three against two, so we're at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!"

Although Jill said this, her face showed no sign of tension or disadvantage; on the contrary, she was full of excitement, as she was a strong advocate of violence at heart.

"Only two people? Could it be that all the important fighting force is concentrated with Father and the others?"

"Should we take care of them and then go help? No, they seem too arrogant; they might not be so easy to deal with. So..."

Cornelia's thoughts raced through her mind, and she quickly made up her mind.

"If there are only two of us, we have the advantage!"

Under Cornelia's control, the Crusher covered her arm, and the steel-covered fists collided with each other. Cornelia had never lost in terms of strength!

"Oh ho, looks like this is going to be interesting!"

Jill could tell from Cornelia's stance that her fighting style was similar to her own, both being skilled in strength, which piqued her interest.

"I'll take care of the strongest one. Dora, you handle the other two!"

"Although she guessed correctly, why do I always feel like there's something wrong with how she judges combat strength?"

Tsukushi glanced at Bonnie beside her. To some extent, the brainless Bonnie would probably have a lot to talk about with Gil. She was almost certain that Gil was only saying that because Cornelia was a power type, and he just happened to guess right by accident.

"It doesn't matter."

Casandora had no objections; perhaps it didn't matter to her whether it was one or two.

"In that case!"

Cornelia's expression turned serious, and she even assumed an attack stance. Jill and Dora were also on high alert. The next second, Cornelia launched her attack!
