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

"Ah~ Ah, it's amazing that you found the path of assassination. It's wonderful that you have such a special skill."

"I'm so sorry for this... Ah, my glasses, my glasses!"

Looking at Hill searching for his glasses all over the ground, Mo Li couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

After picking up the glasses from the ground and handing them to Hill, Mo Li sat down on a large rock nearby and asked:

"Hey Hill, how did you discover your talent for assassination?"

After putting his glasses back on, Hill lowered his head, lost in thought, and then said:

“I grew up in the capital city. I was clumsy from a young age and didn’t have any special skills that I was proud of. I was often fooled by the local guests.”

"But even so, there are still people who are willing to be my good friends. No matter what mistakes I make, she has never laughed at me. The time I spend with her is the only happiness for me."

"Until that day came, a man claiming to be my friend's ex-boyfriend, because he was resentful of being dumped, caused a scene at home and finally grabbed her by the neck."

"The man became abnormal because of the drugs, and I thought I had to save him, so I stabbed him in the neck with a knife, and the man died just like that."

“A few days later, the man’s partner came to seek revenge, saying that we had just killed his parents and that he would be next. Despite the terrifying words, I remained frighteningly calm.”

"I used the knife I used for self-defense to kill men one by one. It's precisely because I'm a bit dim-witted that I have the talent to kill."

"After that, while I was working as an assassin in the capital, I was recruited by the revolutionary army."

When Hill recounted his past, his tone was unusually calm, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

A born killer—that's the only assessment Mo Li could give.

Hill is undoubtedly the most suitable person to be an assassin among them. Unlike Akame and Brand, who have received training, and unlike Mine's shooting talent, Hill has gotten to where she is today entirely by relying on her instincts.

If this were the Type-Moon universe, she would undoubtedly be the Assassin class.

Mo Li's smile returned. He turned around and gently stroked Hill's head, saying:

"I know one thing that only Hill can do!"

"Really? What is it?"

In response to Hill's question, Mo Li rested her head on Hill's lap, inhaling the fragrance emanating from Hill, and slowly closed her eyes.

Hill was a little taken aback by Mo Li's actions, but seeing the smile on Mo Li's face, she knew that Mo Li must be very comfortable. It was so good to be able to help you.

Chapter 243 Esdeath Returns, Encounter with Seryu

Military camp in the territory of a foreign tribe in the north.

A cold wind howled, and the once sweltering summer was now covered in frost because of Esdeath's arrival.

Esdeath sat in her seat, looking at the tribal leader who was being treated like a dog with disdain.

"In the blink of an eye, the northern barbarians have been defeated. General Esdeath, you truly live up to your reputation!"

"How boring. I thought there would be a worthy opponent in the north to satisfy me."

"Lady Esdeath, the minister summons you back to the palace. The tranquility of the capital is being shattered by a night attack!"

"Hmph, a night raid? The Revolutionary Army? Have they found any trace of Mo Li?"

When Esdeath thinks of the Revolutionary Army, she recalls the humiliation of being defeated by Mori that day. She has always believed in the principle that the strong live and the weak die, and that was her only defeat.

Mo Li appears in Esdeath's dreams almost every day; she has been longing for this battle for two years.

The messenger sent by the minister had no idea about these things, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Nothing has been found yet. They're probably afraid of Lady Esdeath and have hidden somewhere..."

"Pfft——!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Esdeath kicked his head and smashed it. She wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of Mo Li in front of her; that would be tantamount to saying that she was even more pathetic for losing to him.

The temperature in the air dropped several degrees instantly, and the soldiers behind them all kept silent, afraid of angering Esdeath and being implicated.

Esdeath was originally very protective of her soldiers, but the mere mention of the name Mo Li usually led to a terrible fate.

However, the minister's orders must be obeyed. Esdeath rose and walked towards the exit of the military camp, issuing the following command:

"Everyone, return to the capital!"

The capital city, slums.

Mo Li is teaming up with Leone today. Since Leone's portrait is not wanted, she can move freely in the capital and loves to visit the slums.

However, she doesn't resemble a raging lion, the king of beasts, at all; instead, she seems like a gentle kitten.

"Lord Mo Li, when will my assessment begin? I can't wait to give it my all."

"Rejected. Leone, aren't you tired? This is the 132nd time you've said something like this."

"How can this be? It's one thing for Akame and Mine, but why did that Hill guy pass the test? It's not fair. I request that we change the examiner."

"If you want to replace me, that's fine, but first you have to convince Najendan, and then find the leader of the Revolutionary Army and have him personally order me to be transferred back."

After Mo Li finished speaking, Leone, like a defeated rooster, lowered his head dejectedly and followed in Mo Li's footsteps.

Convincing Najenda was already difficult enough, let alone finding the High Chieftain. Seriously? Leone has never even met the High Chieftain, and besides, there's no way he'd ever see her.

Seeing this, Mo Li ignored Leone and instead began to observe the residents of the slum.

To be honest, the expressions on the faces of the people here are much richer than those of residents living in the capital.

As she walked along, people would greet Leone from time to time, as if she were a celebrity here.

"Oh, you're quite popular here, Leone!"

"Because this is where I grew up. Don't let my appearance fool you, my massage skills are highly praised. How about it, Mo Li, would you like me to give you a massage?"

"No need, my old back can't take your abuse. You should find someone else!"

Mo Li waved his hand, refusing Leone's massage request. Who knows how much malice this guy was up to?

Just as the two were talking, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them. Their faces were extremely hostile, and they pointed at Leone and shouted:

"Found her! It's Leone! Everyone, hurry and chase after her!"

"Pay off all the debts you've accumulated, you bastard, don't run away!"

"I'll pay off my gambling losses soon!"

"Return all the money you swindled from your brother, Leone!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Leone quickly ran away and disappeared in an instant. Her speed was so fast that Mo Li was speechless. She had never seen such speed when she was assassinating someone.

Mo Li made way for the group of debt collectors, pretending not to know her.

Little did he know that Leone had already regretted it the moment she started running, her face contorted with despair, knowing she could forget about passing the test now.

After the group of people had gone far away, Mo Li sighed and followed the original route back to Night Raid.

After leaving the slum, Mo Li felt that the atmosphere outside was completely different, filled with a deathly aura. Although the streets were filled with countless residents, they were like walking corpses.

The smiles on their faces were also fake; everyone seemed to be living with a mask on.

Just as Mo Li was about to leave the capital, a cheerful greeting suddenly surprised her.

"Excuse me, sir/madam over there, are you in some kind of trouble?"

On this decaying land, there are still such people. Mo Li couldn't help but feel a little curious about the girl in front of him.

But when Mo Li saw that she was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Capital Garrison, she knew that this was still a righteous girl who had never been exposed to the darkness. Such a person was extremely rare in the capital.

"You are……"

"Imperial Capital Garrison, Seryu, a partner of justice!"

Mo Li turned his gaze to the puppy-like creature at Seryu's feet. He immediately recognized it as a biological Teigu from the Teigu catalog: Monster Transformation: Hundred-Armed Giant.

At this moment, Seryu crouched down, gently stroked the puppy's head, and said to it:

"Xiao Ke, are you hungry? Just bear with it a little longer!"

"It's quite rare to see members of the Imperial Capital Garrison possessing Imperial Arms. I don't recall even Europa having one."

"You know quite a lot, but Xiao Ke, ah, that's the name I gave it. It seems to stop moving if it's used by someone who isn't compatible. It seems that none of the higher-ups can use Xiao Ke, so even we regular team members had to undergo adaptability testing."

Seryu revealed these top-secret matters without any reservations, and Mo Li gave Xiao Ke a serious look.

Don't let its small size fool you; once it goes berserk, that's when it will unleash its full power.

"By the way, sir, are you in some kind of trouble?"

"I think I'm lost. The terrain in the capital is a bit complicated, and I'm getting dizzy as I walk around."

"This is really important. I'll take you back while I'm on patrol. Come with me, don't get lost."

Seryu grabbed Moli's hand and walked towards the gates of the capital.

The little one on the ground seemed very unhappy about being left there by Seryu, and barked at Moli a few times.

But when Mo Li turned around, Xiao Ke felt a death stare at her and instantly became incredibly docile, obediently following behind the two of them.

Through Seryu's hand, Mo Li could sense that her body had been modified. A faint medicinal scent emanated from Seryu's body, which had been transformed into a weapon.

Unlike DEM in the Date A Live world, Seryu was treated as an experimental subject, and she just happened to succeed. As expected of an Imperial Arms user.

Seryu pulled Moli to the gates of the capital, saluted, and said:

"This is the entrance to the capital. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't see you back. Remember to report to me immediately if you see any villains, and we will eliminate them on the spot."

"Really? Then I think we'll see each other again soon!" Maru.

Chapter 244 The duel with Leone, twisted justice

Back in the aftermath of the night raid, Mo Li gave Leone a good beating and made her experience his massage.

Before they could even rest, Najenda walked in with the latest mission.

The mission was extremely simple: assassinate the gang that sold drugs to the slums, as well as the team that manufactured the drugs.

Upon hearing that something had happened in the slums, Leone stepped forward without hesitation, and Mo Li had to go along as well.

Since he was teaming up with Leone today, he could also check out Leone's level 78 in missions.

On the other hand, Mine and Hill were responsible for assassinating the people who made the drugs.

For some reason, Mo Li's right eye kept twitching, as if something was about to happen. This made Mo Li extremely vigilant, constantly paying attention to her surroundings.

Soon, Mo Li and Leone arrived at the enemy's headquarters, the Imperial Capital, Kaguya Town.

Watching the courtesans puffing away on their cigarettes, Mo Li frowned; the smell disgusted him. "797"

"Leone, take care of them quickly. I don't want to stay in this place any longer!"

"Understood. Next, it's about time to start working and pay off the debt."

After Leone finished speaking, she activated her Imperial Arms, Beast King Transformation: Lion King. Her entire body underwent subtle changes, giving her an appearance similar to that of the beastmen from another world.

Its strength and speed have increased several times over, its sense of smell has been enhanced and it can search for enemies, and its recovery ability is super strong. Even if its hands and feet are cut off or its eyes are gouged out, it can stop the bleeding and reconnect on its own.

Leone moved his neck, extended his sharp claws, and said to Mo Li:

"So, Mo Li, do you need me to take you infiltrating?"

"There's no need. Even if your speed improves, you still can't keep up with me!"

"Oh? Don't underestimate me. Let's meet at the enemy base then."

Having said that, Leone took the lead, stomped on the roof, and moved towards the destination at great speed.

Mo Li smiled. Why would he need to run to get there? Opening a portal would be faster than running.

"Master Fengjie—open!"

This competition was never a fair contest from the start, and Leone's hopes were destined to be dashed.

Mo Li set up the other portal in the other person's room and walked straight in.

At this point, the drug trafficking gang was unaware that they were about to face a major disaster.

"Big brother, what is that? It suddenly appeared in the room."

"Tch, don't make such a fuss. Do you think someone will actually walk out of here?"

The man called "Big Brother" downed his drink in one gulp, his face flushed with alcohol.

Just then, beams of light shot out from the portal, piercing through everyone present and killing them instantly.

Only the gang leader remained, his hand trembling as he held the wine glass, his entire body unable to move.
