Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

Mela moved her body without any real need, and seemed eager to try it out.

"We're going quite far, so you'd better stick close to me. If you get lost, the worm eggs inside you will hatch."

With a slight threat, Mela pushed off the ground with her long legs, and her body shot out like an arrow, moving at an extremely fast speed!

"So fast!"

Akame exclaimed in surprise, exchanged a glance with Kurome, and the two sisters also burst into extremely fast speed to catch up. They couldn't verify whether what Mela said was true or false, but as long as there was even the slightest possibility, neither of them would joke about the other's life. Therefore, they wouldn't have too many inappropriate thoughts before the problem of the insect eggs was solved.

"You guys are really great."

Oberg's stronghold was located deep in the mountains. Beyond the stronghold's fortress lay a dense jungle. For ordinary people, such a jungle environment would undoubtedly greatly affect their speed. However, the three of them were not affected at all. Mela, of course, did not need to use her full strength. As for Akame and Kurome, they had traversed this terrain countless times, so they had no problem with it.

Akame: "I grew up in the mountains!"

Black Eyes: "My brother often brings me to the jungle!"

Mela frowned. She began to realize that she might be underestimating the brother that Kuroko had mentioned. What if, what if, that so-called brother was more important than Akame? Wouldn't that be a bad sign?

"But that's probably impossible."

After reflecting on their relationship, Mela ultimately dismissed the idea. Her reasoning was simple: how could a lesbian couple abandon each other for a jerk?!

"We've discovered a village!"

Before long, Mela stopped in her tracks. In front of the three of them was a small village.

What are you doing here?

Although she could guess what Mela was thinking, Akame didn't want to accept reality; in fact, she already had the answer in her heart.

“Let’s go and talk to the villagers, and then we’ll go to the next village, and keep repeating this process. You’ll understand by traveling around and listening to people’s voices.”

"The whole truth."

After saying that, Mela ignored Akame and Kurome and walked forward on her own. Kurome, on the other hand, curled her lips indifferently. Her loyalty was never to this empire, or even to the people, but only to two people.

However, unlike the simple-minded Kurome, Akame has a lot on her mind, especially about the road ahead!

The arrival of the three girls did not attract much attention, even though they were all extremely beautiful. In this world, apart from those with ulterior motives, a few pretty girls would not attract any attention at all.

The sights and sounds along the way were shocking.

The lament for the exorbitant taxes, the hatred for the officials who oppressed the people, and the local armies that could only bully the people while turning a blind eye to the rampant bandits—the people's dissatisfaction with the country had reached a point where it was ubiquitous. Even in regions governed by officials with a conscience, there was little difference. Local taxes were all determined by the capital, and even if local officials wanted to reduce them, they were powerless to do so. The vast empire gave Akame the feeling that it could collapse at any moment without any surprise.

This was merely what she had seen and heard near Shuiyun Town, but no matter how much Akame tried to comfort herself, she couldn't convince herself that this was just an isolated incident.

"So, are you starting to see the truth?"

Mela's pace slows down once she enters the town. She never urges Akame and Kurome to hurry; she wants the two sisters to see everything with their own eyes.

"No, perhaps you've already seen it, so why are you still afraid to admit it..."

"Noisy!"

The abrupt interruption of Mela's words did not anger Mela; she simply smiled and let Akame vent her emotions.

"elder sister."

Black Eyes took Red Eyes' hand. Everything she saw along the way didn't particularly move her. No matter how corrupt the empire was, as long as Lin Yu and Black Eyes were still in the empire, she would never betray it!

Do you think I would believe what you say so easily?

Akame's words at this moment were already self-deception, a fact she herself knew, and Mela knew as well.

For Mela, the only result she wanted was for Akame to be on her side. She didn't care much about how long the process would take, so she didn't push too hard, lest it backfire and things get messy.

"Well, you can continue to use your own eyes to confirm whether what I said is true or false before you believe it. However, we have already wasted a lot of time. Before we go back, let me teach you something for free."

Mela walked up to Akame and, before the latter could react, suddenly grabbed her arm, using her superb fighting skills to knock Akame to the ground in an instant.

"elder sister!"

Seeing Akame fall to the ground by Mela, Kurome immediately prepared to attack, but Akame stopped her with a look.

Mela glanced at the furrowed brows of the black eyes, but did not let go of the red eyes' hand.

"I know you're troubled right now, but you've made too many mistakes. As an assassin, being too emotional isn't a good thing!"

"Although rich emotions can sometimes unleash power that transcends oneself."

With a gentle pull, Mela lifted Akame from the ground, her arm clasped with Akame's. She continued, "But sometimes these emotions can lead to death!"

"Calmness is an essential quality for an assassin!"

[This chapter is a transition; we'll be getting straight to the original story soon.]

288. 'Gozchi'!

"Is this power Corinth's?"

Somewhere in the clouds, a few days after Gozchi disappeared, Lin Yu arrived at the location where Gozchi and Collint had fought.

"That guy's strength is unknown, he shouldn't be too strong, but he should definitely not be underestimated. The most crucial question now is what kind of conspiracy he's plotting?"

Lin Yu felt a pang of regret. He had sensed something a few days ago, but he hadn't paid it any mind. If he had come to investigate back then, he might have been able to get rid of Collint, this major threat.

Indeed, in Lin Yu's mind, Collint was a great threat. A powerful enemy is not scary; you can defeat him with stronger power. But a powerful yet cunning enemy is not so easy to deal with. What's more, Collint never shows his face. That attack almost caused Lin Yu to fall because he only used a few puppets he controlled.

"It seems that Gozqi is in grave danger. If it's that rune shield, there's no way he can escape."

Lin Yu pondered silently in his heart. The reason he knew that Collint had fought with others here was simply because there were still traces of Small Seal script here. The writing system of this world is unique and there is absolutely no such calligraphy as Small Seal script. Although it is not impossible that there is a coincidence, sometimes coincidence is inevitable!

"But why is Collint causing trouble for Gozchi? It's completely pointless, isn't it?"

Lin Yu frowned slightly, then a possibility came to mind.

"Wait, if that's the case!"

Lin Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately spread his wings and flew towards a certain location. In order to arrive as quickly as possible, he even activated his Black Flame Mode...

Why hasn't Father returned yet?

At the pre-arranged meeting point, most of the Imperial Assassination Squad selection team members gathered, except for their leaders, Gozchi and the Akame sisters.

"And Akame and Kurome too. They left before the base was attacked. It's disheartening to say, but their current situation is probably not good."

The remaining six were all worried. The absence of their leader, Gozchi, and the loss of two companions were enough to be fatal to their morale.

"We still can't be sure of the situation of my father and the others. For the time being, there's been no movement from the people of Oberg. It's best to continue to observe for now."

With Gozchi absent, Nahashu, ranked number one, naturally stepped forward, which is the most appropriate solution given the lack of sufficient information.

"Red Eyes..."

With his beloved's fate unknown, Green felt increasingly anxious. He wanted to find out about Akame but dared not act rashly, lest he endanger himself as well.

Tap, tap, tap...

The footsteps were clearly audible, and the six people who were still discussing immediately picked up their weapons and became alert. Anyone who appeared here at this time was either an enemy or an ally.

Glug!

Almost everyone swallowed hard, praying that what appeared before them wasn't an enemy.

Under everyone's gaze, the door opened, and a familiar face came into view.

"Father!"

Tsukushi cheered and prepared to pounce, but her body was grabbed by Nahashu as soon as she moved.

"Be careful, he's not your father!"

Their expressions turned extremely solemn, and their suppressed anger was about to erupt at any moment, because the person standing in front of them had already lost the breath of life!

"The little guy has a pretty good eye for things."

'Gozchi' had no intention of deceiving anyone and stated it directly.

"How could this be? How dare they manipulate Father! This is absolutely unforgivable!"

After being stunned for a while, Tsukushi roared angrily. The fact that she, who was usually gentle, could shout so loudly showed just how angry she was.

"Oh well, what can I do? Your father is such a good subject, even I'm a little tempted."

With an innocent shrug, 'Gozchi' said with a smile.

"and……"

Looking around, 'Gozchi's' smile became increasingly eerie.

"You are all rare materials, so I hope you won't struggle. I'll be heartbroken if you damage anything."

With Murasame drawn from his sword, Gozchi pointed the katana at his former 'children'. A few days ago, he experienced for the first time the despair of having nowhere to escape, and he couldn't even self-destruct. He was killed by Collint, who had modified his body in the days that followed.

"Everyone be careful, show no mercy, Father is dead!"

Although this was a fact that everyone present already understood, some of the girls still found it hard to accept. In their hearts, their father was an invincible symbol, but now, that symbol had been shattered.

"Tch! You bunch of cowards, all of you, perk up and help our father get out of this mess!"

Nahashu let out a low shout, activating the special power of the Sword Master's 'Water Dragon Sword'. His short hair instantly grew to waist length. The Water Dragon Sword has the ability to enhance combat power for three minutes, but only for three minutes. After three minutes, his strength will be greatly reduced!

"Being able to manipulate my father's corpse, I wonder how much of my father's strength he possessed in life could be unleashed. Moreover, the one who can kill my father's true self is actually the most troublesome one."

Nahashu wasn't without feelings; on the contrary, he cherished his companions the most. But as the leader of the seven, he had to shoulder the responsibilities of leadership, and there wasn't much time for him to wallow in grief.

"Interesting. You must be the one with the strongest fighting power, right?"

Corinth, who had been manipulating Gozchi's corpse, relinquished his control. He could manipulate the corpse at will, but in battle, the corpse itself still needed to fight to unleash its full combat potential.

"Relying on external forces to increase strength? Tsk tsk, I especially like this type!"

Without taking control of Gozchi's actions, Collint simply used Gozchi's mouth to make sounds.

"If you like it, why don't you come find me yourself!"

Nahashu roared and slashed at Gozchi without mercy. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not show any mercy!

"The boss is right. Avenging our father is the most important thing now. Let's go together!"

Following Nahash, Guy also realized what was happening. As the second strongest among the seven, he also chose to join the battle. The remaining members exchanged glances and finally made up their minds.

"The corpses I manipulate have a unique characteristic: although they are unconscious, they retain all their instincts from when they were alive!"

"If I'm not mistaken, he must have taught you all those skills, right?"

As Corinth described it, Gozchi's body began to move on its own. The strongest fighter of the King of Fighters, with his hair and beard growing wildly, launched attacks on everyone simultaneously with his Murasame sword. The battle had barely begun when the tide had already started to turn in Gozchi's favor...
