Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

Mo Li couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to set aside half an hour every day for training, which was actually just Mo Li beating up Brand one-sidedly, whether he was wearing a Teigu or not.

However, Brand's talent also surprised Mo Li. After these days of training, Brand's strength has improved significantly, which made him even more interested.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Akame, Najenda gathered everyone together, took out a wanted poster, and said:

"This time the target is the notorious street killer in the capital, who appears at night and beheads people everywhere. There are already about dozens of people who have died at his hands."

"I heard that 30% of them are from the security force, and they're quite a formidable force."

"There's no mistake, it must be that [Zank the Decapitator]!"

"Zank the Executioner, he was originally the executioner of the empire's largest prison. Because of the minister, there were too many people to be executed. It is said that he beheaded those who begged for mercy day after day. After several years, beheading had become a habit."

Mo Li frowned. This was not a good habit. It was one thing to deal with criminals, but now they were openly beheading people in the streets. No wonder they were wanted.

The empire had sent people to attack him, but unfortunately they failed and he escaped.

It wasn't until recently that it appeared in the capital, and it took dozens of lives with its first move.

"Furthermore, the decapitated Zank is a Teigu user, but what kind of Teigu he is is still under investigation."

"This is going to be a bit tricky. If it's a duel between Teigu users, I'm afraid only one of them will survive."

"It's alright, it's alright. We have Lord Mo Li, who is known as the Demon King, here. Zank is no match for us. Who cares if he's some kind of Imperial Arms user?"

After Leone finished speaking, everyone looked at Mo Li. Indeed, if he took action, everything would be foolproof.

Seeing this, Mo Li spread his hands, shrugged, and said:

“I’m not interested in that beheading Zank, but… ”

When everyone heard Mo Li's first sentence, they were somewhat disappointed, but when he said "however," they knew that things could still turn around.

"However, the Imperial Arm he possesses is quite attractive!"

"Alright, then let's split into pairs and hunt down the villains who haven't been punished by heaven."

"Wait a minute, don't include me, I have my own solution!"

Mo Li directly excluded Najendan from the team. The team formation was for safety reasons, but if the strength difference was too great, the other person would only become a burden.

Moreover, Mo Li always acts alone, and he doesn't think Zank poses any threat to him.

After thinking for a moment, Najenda agreed. Everyone set out together: Mine and Hill in one group, Leone and Brand in another, Lubbock and Akame in another, and Mori in his own group.

Mo Li arrived at a street according to the previously designated area. The capital city used to be very prosperous at night, but after the arrival of the decapitated Zank, the residents dared not go out at night.

Every household kept their doors and windows tightly shut, and dared not even turn on the lights, for fear that Zanke would come knocking on their door.

On the main road, the Imperial Capital Police were also patrolling, searching for the whereabouts of the man who beheaded Zank.

Bored, Mo Li leaned against the street lamp, transformed into Uncle Zhan Yue once again, and lit a lonely cigarette.

Just as Mo Li threw the cigarette on the ground, he looked up and found Yatogami Tohka standing in front of him, smiling at him.

In an instant, Mo Li knew that the person in front of him was definitely not Tohka. How could his own familiar not recognize him?

The one who beheaded Zank actually came after me; he really knows how to pick his opponents.

Mo Li felt a surge of anger. Tohka was his familiar, and seeing someone else impersonate her only disgusted him. The thought of killing her immediately took hold of Mo Li's mind.

Following Shi Xiang's footsteps, Mo Li arrived at a deserted, empty space.

"If this is the grave you've chosen for yourself, then I won't hold back."

"Oh? You actually managed to see through my disguise, but you still followed me here."

"You're really unlucky. Out of so many people on the street, you still picked me. Do I look like a weakling?"

"Great, great, you have excellent eyesight. I've decided to make your head my collectible."

Zank sprang a pair of blades from his arm, pointing them directly at Moli, and an eye-like decoration appeared on his forehead.

After sizing Mo Li up and down with his green eyes, Zank spoke:

"You think I'm weak and want to finish me off in an instant? That's a good idea, but can you do it?"

"It seems your Imperial Arm can see through people's hearts, which is a good ability, but unfortunately, it's useless to me."

"You got it right. This is the Imperial Arm [Observer], one of the five vision abilities, Insight. It reads the other person's thoughts by observing their expression, which is the ultimate form of observation ability."

"Don't you know the saying, 'Villains die from talking too much'? To dare to openly reveal your Imperial Arm's abilities like this, it seems you're very confident in your strength."

"Because my interest is in conversation. Also, I should mention that I discovered your ability is far-sightedness, which allows you to see clearly into the distance, whether it's night or foggy."

"It's just a telescope," Mo Li scoffed, as if everyone else didn't have one.

Zank possesses all of Mo Li's abilities; it can only be said that this guy chose the wrong opponent. Facing the Demon King of the Eyes, Zank's Imperial Arms were practically useless, and the outcome was already predetermined.

Mo Li's lips curled up slightly, and he charged forward, leaving a bloody mark on Zanke's face with a single move.

"Enjoy, enjoy! I can see everything you're thinking. I can see through every single one of your attacks. It's useless. You're destined to be no match for me."

"Is that so? Since you also use the eye technique system, I'll let you die knowing why!"

Mo Li released a powerful magical force, directly erasing the effect of the fake witch and revealing her original appearance, with a pair of golden eyes shining brightly in the night.

When Zank saw Mo Li's appearance, his pupils dilated instantly, and his whole body began to tremble.

"The strongest member of the Revolutionary Army, Demon King Mo Li, I never expected to meet you here. How delightful! I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. You will be the most important one in my collection of heads (Zhao Nuohao)."

"Interesting. You didn't run away after seeing my true form. You have a lot of confidence in your Imperial Arm!"

“That’s right. I was already in an invincible position from the very beginning. Even if you are the Demon King, your inner thoughts have already been exposed. What can you do to me?”

"Really? But—playing..."

A white sword shadow flashed past, and Mo Li appeared behind Zank. Blood dripped from the tip of the Rebellion Blade as Mo Li slashed Zank's abdomen.

Even if you can see right through me, can you keep up with my speed?

"Ugh, that's fast! My 'Observer' doesn't just detect the mind; I can see the future. I can predict your next move through the slightest muscle movements. No matter how fast you are, as long as you defend against it, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"You talk too much nonsense. You don't think I'm only good at speed, do you? Look at your own future. If you can withstand this next move, then talk to me about the future."

Chapter 242 Hill’s only role is knee pillow

Zank's pupils dilated instantly as he saw a future where his entire body was engulfed in flames.

No, I absolutely cannot let Mo Li use that move, or I will die.

With this thought in mind, Zank roared, and the [Observer] on his forehead looked at Mo Li and activated his ability—Vision. Yatogami Tohka reappeared in front of Mo Li.

Mo Li, who was originally going to use the Sovereign Flame, had no choice but to put it away and narrowed his eyes.

He knew, of course, that the "Tohka" in front of him was an imposter, but he couldn't bear to see "Tohka" die such a tragic death in front of him.

"Well, even the Demon King can't bring himself to kill the person he cherishes most, can he?"

"Hmph, interesting. Who do you think you're talking to? You dare to show off your mere illusion magic?"

"What? Vision's hypnotic effects are very strong. How could you possibly harm the person you love most?"

"Indeed, I can't kill Tohka, but—!"

Mo Li's lips curled up slightly, and when he looked up again, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes appeared in front of Zank, instantly negating the power of the illusion.

Trying to play genjutsu in front of the Mangekyou Sharingan? You've come to the right person. This kind of genjutsu can even be broken by the three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Very well, then let me show you the most terrible punishment in the world, Tsukuyomi!"

In an instant, Zank realized his location had changed. Looking around, a pungent smell of blood wafted in. Wasn't this the prison he had been in before?

Zank lowered his head, noticing that his twin blades had disappeared at some point, and even the Imperial Arm on his forehead had vanished.

Just then, a 793 sound came from outside the door, and he walked in—it was himself.

"Zank" picked up the machete beside him, skillfully opened the cell door, walked up to Zank, and with a swift stroke, a head fell to the ground, blood spurting into the air.

When he came to his senses again, he quickly touched his neck and found that he was not dead.

Just as Zank breathed a sigh of relief, there was another noise outside the door. Zank recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but tremble. Just like before, it was himself who came in.

And so, Zank repeated the scene of being beheaded countless times, until his mind began to wander.

Outside the Tsukuyomi space, Akame, Leone, Mine, Hill, Brand, Lubbock, and others gathered, staring at the motionless Zank as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't be so nervous, I've already tormented this guy's mind to a minimum."

"Hey, what do you mean? He's still standing here perfectly fine. We can't let our guard down."

"Hmph, 893 Leone, you try pushing 96 and 446 Zero."

Leone pointed to herself, and after seeing Mo Li nod, she walked forward with great interest, though her whole body remained tense.

Although she trusted Mo Li's strength, Leone had experienced her share of unexpected setbacks.

As soon as Leone's hand lightly touched Zank's body, Zank fell backward and crashed to the ground.

"Whoa, you scared me! Mo Li, what's wrong with this guy?"

"Dead, clinging to painful memories, his spirit has dissipated."

Leone stepped forward and checked his (ajfc) breathing, and found that, just as Mo Li had said, he was not breathing.

After examining Zank's body, apart from a long wound on his abdomen, there was nothing else that could have caused his death.

"How...how did they do that?"

"You want to know?"

"No, no, no, no, I don't want to at all. Lord Mo Li, you don't need to say anything more."

"Let's go. Remember to take the Imperial Arm from his forehead with you!"

The thought of Leone killing someone without warning was terrifying.

He was even more determined not to become Mo Li's enemy, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.

It was already past midnight when everyone returned to Night Raid. Najenda was sitting in a chair, puffing on a cigarette.

"Hey, Najenda, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"How can I possibly sleep when you haven't returned from your mission?"

"Hahaha, you're still the same as ever. Here, take this, the Imperial Arm that beheaded Zank."

Mo Li tossed the Five Visions Omnipotent Observer to Najenda. Everyone present already had Imperial Arms, so they didn't need it, and Mo Li naturally didn't care about its abilities.

The best solution is to hand Najendan over to the Revolutionary Army at the front. As for compatibility issues, Mo Li will not concern himself with them.

After receiving the Imperial Arm, Najenda examined it carefully and then nodded. She knew Mo Li's strength and that he had never been interested in Imperial Arms.

After doing all this, Mo Li returned to his room. The fierce battle, which wasn't even a warm-up, completely extinguished Mo Li's fighting spirit against the powerful figures in the capital.

Esdeath, it's about time you came back. Let me see how much you've grown in the past two years.

The next day, when Mo Li woke up, she felt someone pressing down on her blanket. When she got up, she saw it was Hill.

Hill was lying on Mo Li's bed, occasionally letting out a meow, which was quite adorable.

Mo Li then remembered that she seemed to have told Najendan yesterday that she would be testing Hill, but she didn't expect that this guy would be lying by her bedside so early in the morning.

Seemingly sensing something, Hill slowly opened his eyes, and his glasses slipped off his face.

Good morning, Lord Mo Li!

"I'd love to say good morning back, but could you please turn around?"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Mo Li's forehead. He had heard of the girl in front of him before. She was Hill, who failed at everything and was good for nothing except assassination.

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Hill realized that his vision was blurry and immediately became flustered, repeatedly calling out, "Glasses, glasses!"

Seeing this, Mo Li quickly handed the glasses on the bed to Hill. Several times, Mo Li was afraid that Hill would break things in her room. She really was a bit slow.

Today's plan to team up with Hill made Mo Li feel worried about her future.

The two arrived at a stream. Since Hill was bad at everything except assassination, her job was to patrol the vicinity of the night raid base every day.

"Hey Hill, don't you have any hobbies or interests?"

"Well, let me think. When I was cooking, I burned the meat, which made Akame very angry; when I was cleaning, I messed everything up and caused trouble for Brand; when I was shopping, I mixed up the sugar and salt and Leone laughed at me; and when I was doing laundry, I accidentally washed Mine too."

Another bead of cold sweat appeared on Mo Li's face. It really was just like the rumors.

Hill tapped her chin lightly with her finger and said in a very gentle tone:

"Even on patrol, there is a high chance that we will not be able to find our way back."
