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

Faced with everyone's surprise, Mo Li didn't offer much explanation regarding the difference between angels and Imperial Arms.

He raised the short gun in his hand and pointed the muzzle at the dial; the black shadow was sucked into the muzzle.

"Zfkl - Fourth Bullet (Dalet)!"

Mo Li pointed the gun at Mine, and before anyone could react, he had already pulled the trigger.

With a "bang," the bullet struck Mine.

Leo

The incredible scene left everyone present speechless. The ability to manipulate time—no one had ever heard of any imperial court possessing such a power. Wasn't this invincible?

For a moment, the atmosphere on the field was somewhat quiet, and everyone's opinion of Mo Li's strength rose even higher.

Seeing this, Mo Li immediately put away the Chrono Emperor and, ignoring everyone else, walked towards his room.

As raindrops began to fall from the sky, Brand spoke first:

"Boss, Lord Mo Li, he..."

"No one is allowed to reveal Mo Li's Imperial Arms abilities; he only used them because he trusts us."

"I understand now, manipulating time, what a terrifying ability!"

"I originally thought the Ice Imperial Arms was the strongest, but now it seems I was just ignorant."

Because of the ambush involving Mine and Hill, Najenda gave everyone a rare break and devised a more meticulous action plan. It remains to be seen whether they will be so lucky next time.

The battle between Teigu users must end with the death of one of them.

The enemies faced by Night Raid were no longer just the rotten nobles, but also the Imperial Arms users hiding in the darkness.

Before everyone could rest for even a few days, Najendan gathered them together again, her expression serious.

After the last person, Moli, arrived, Najendan said solemnly:

"Everyone's here! I have some bad news. Esdeath has finished suppressing the north and returned to the capital!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present adopted a serious expression, which showed just how formidable an opponent Esdeath was in their eyes.

Only Mo Li smiled. "It's been two years. I wonder if your strength has increased."

"Leone, go to the capital and investigate Esdeath's movements!"

"I understand. I'm quite interested in what kind of person she is."

"I'll go instead. Once Esdeath makes a move, Leone alone won't be able to withstand even one of her attacks."

Mo Li suggested that, upon hearing this news, his long-dormant desire to fight was rekindled.

Leo, on the other hand, looked unconvinced. Even if he couldn't beat them, he shouldn't have been killed in one move.

However, Najenda shook her head, rejecting Moli's suggestion, and said:

“Mo Li, you have a more important mission. Recently, a series of civil servant murders have occurred near the capital. The victims are four civil servants and 61 guards. Furthermore, a note with the words ‘night raid’ was found at the crime scene.”

"Are you saying that someone deliberately framed us and pinned the blame for the murder of the civil official on us?"

"Impossible. This kind of thing will be exposed soon enough. A criminal statement is too contrived."

Even Brand could see that this was a scheme to make Nightraise take the blame, so there's no reason why those high-ranking officials of the Empire couldn't see it.

Najendan lit a cigarette and explained to everyone:

"That was the initial conclusion, but it has now been determined to be our doing. The people killed were all accompanied by top-notch guards; ordinary thieves would have been throwing eggs against rocks."

"That means they specifically target strong people to attack; only..."

"The Teigu user must be Esdeath's subordinate."

After Najendan finished speaking, she turned to look at Mo Li, her intentions quite clear: she wanted him to expose those imposters. She would only feel at ease if the strongest person was in charge of this matter.

Seeing this, Mo Li shrugged. Although he really wanted to meet Esdeath, he figured they probably wouldn't fight in public. He might as well go and meet those so-called Imperial Arms users.

"Okay, I'll take care of those people."

"Knowing that this is a trap, I want to tell everyone that the civil official who was killed was very talented, and was a person who dared to rebel against ministers and was concerned about the country and its people."

"I know, I know, protecting them from death, right? I have far more experience in this kind of thing than you."

"This mission is fraught with difficulties, so let's all share our opinions!"

Najendan exhaled a cloud of smoke. Even with Mo Li's combat prowess, she still dared not let her guard down.

Most people shared the same opinion: no one would let it go so easily when faced with smear campaigns against counterfeit goods.

“Very well, it’s decided then. Let’s tell them what will happen if they use our name without permission. Next time, there will be two civil officials being targeted: Akame and Lubbock, and Mo Li and Brand. They will be divided into two groups to guard those two civil officials.”

"Boss, where is the location? Where are the civil officials that Lord Mo Li and I are protecting planned to go?"

"A massive, luxurious passenger ship, the Dragon Boat, docked near the capital, at the starting point of the Grand Canal!"

Brand looked excited, but Mo Li's next words sent him plummeting from heaven to hell.

"No, I'll go alone. Brand, go with Akame and the others."

"Eh, why? Lord Mo Li, I've become much stronger now, and I can go on missions with you."

"You alone cannot deal with three Teigu users!"

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Brand froze on the spot. Although his strength had increased considerably, he was not confident of victory against three Teigu users.

Najenda sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to ask Mo Li:

"How do you know there are three people on the other side (Zhao Nuo Zhao), and that they are all Imperial Arms Users?"

"The Three Beast Warriors, Esdeath's three most capable lieutenants, fought alongside her for many years, and each of them wields an Imperial Arm. You've probably heard of them."

"It was them! Esdeath brought the Three Beast Warriors back too!"

"Therefore, I can go by myself; I don't need anyone else's help."

"By saying that, are you already certain that they will assassinate us on the dragon boat?"

Najendan's words startled Mo Li for a moment, then she covered her face and laughed. Was she really that perceptive? She should have known better than to say so much to her.

Brand remained defiant, determined to go with Mo Li no matter what.

"Please, Lord Mo Li, it is my greatest wish to go on a mission with you."

"Sigh, I'll go, but you have to promise me you won't hold me back!"

"Don't worry, Lord Mo Li. Although dealing with three Imperial Arms users is a bit difficult, delaying one or two for you is no problem at all."

Chapter 247 You are the Mo Li that Lady Esdeath has been longing for.

Left with no other choice, Mo Li had to set off with Brand to the outskirts of the capital. A huge dragon ship came into view, so large it was almost unbelievable.

As for how the two people managed to sneak in, the entrance to the dragon boat was guarded by soldiers, and everyone had to be carefully checked before being allowed in. They must have received some kind of information.

"Brand, do you have a way to sneak inside the dragon ship?"

"Oh, my possession ability has the property of making me invisible. Although it doesn't last long, it's still enough to get on the ship."

"That's good. The enemy may have already boarded the ship. Let's go!"

After saying that, Mo Li used the fake witch to transform into a noble-looking person. Under Brand's envious gaze, she swaggered up, and the guards didn't even dare to check her.

As the horn sounded, the dragon boat was about to set sail. Brand quickly summoned the Demon Possession, became invisible, and jumped onto the ship, silently moving towards Mo Li's direction.

The dragon boat began its voyage, and Mo Li found the target she needed to protect, who was then surrounded by bodyguards.

"I really envy Leone. She gets to go to the capital to find Esdeath. That girl's strength must have increased again."

"Lord Mo Li, I heard from the Boss that you once fought Esdeath. Is that true?"

"It was about two years ago, when I met her once while fighting against foreign tribes in the north. As soon as we met, she invited me to join the Imperial Army, but I refused on the spot."

A bead of sweat appeared on Brand's face. If Mo Li had chosen to join the Imperial Army back then, the Revolutionary Army probably wouldn't have existed later.

"And then what happened? Did the two of you start fighting? Who won?"

"Do you even need to ask? She had just obtained the Imperial Arms not long ago, so her abilities were naturally inferior to mine. I knocked her unconscious. Come to think of it, she still had an inner lining with me."

Upon hearing this, Brand quickly changed the subject, as if she had heard something she shouldn't have.

One can imagine why Esdeath relentlessly pursued Moli. Anyone would have done the same after being defeated and having their lining taken, let alone a general of an empire.

Mo Li tapped Brand's armor; after he became invisible, he could only sense his presence, nothing else.

I wonder if the evil spirit I copied has this effect.

"Lord Mo Li, my invisibility is almost up, I must take off my armor first."

"There are many empty rooms in the cabin, so go and change there."

Brand nodded, turned and walked into the cabin, and Mo Li followed the protected target into the cabin.

Mo Li picked up a glass of wine from the table and drank it all in one gulp, while the melodious sound of a flute reached his ears.

By this time, the dragon boat had reached the very center of the lake, far from the city center, and the events unfolding there were no visible from the shore, making it the perfect time to take action.

Mo Li instantly guessed what the other party was thinking. Looking around, he saw that all the guests had fallen to the ground, unable to move. After checking their breathing, he found that they had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

Do they intend to leave no survivors, or do they simply not want people to see their true colors?

This kind of flute music is too childish for Mo Li. Why don't I play a tune for you instead?

Mo Li's lips curled up slightly as he raised his right hand and summoned Miku's angel—the Po Jun Songstress.

Light keys surrounded Mo Li, and a huge pipe organ appeared behind him.

"The Songstress of the Broken Army - Rondo!"

Mo Li pressed the piano keys, and waves of sound emanated from the organ, clashing with the flute sound waves in the air.

As Mo Li continued to increase his spiritual energy output, the flute music was gradually drowned out by the organ music.

Just as Mo Li was engrossed in playing her instrument, a burly man with blond hair and white eyes walked over, wielding two axe blades.

"Found you, found you! You're the culprit that made the noise. Honestly, I really don't understand the music of you refined people."

"Are they finally going to make their move? I've been waiting so long I'm almost falling asleep. They're moving so slowly!"

"So you're one of the night raiders? I might have spared your life if you were asleep, but unfortunately..."

"I'm telling you, you're overestimating yourself. Didn't your master teach you the importance of intelligence gathering? I'm not someone trash like you can handle!"

As soon as Mo Li mentioned Esdeath, Daidas's expression changed instantly. He pulled out a double-edged axe from behind his back and charged straight at Mo Li.

"A reckless fool," was Mo Li's assessment of Daidas. He thought that encountering an opponent like Daidas would be enough to kill him several times over. He had originally intended to leave one or two for Brand to practice on.

With no other option, Mo Li summoned the Blade of Rebellion into his hand, his eyes gradually narrowing. Just as Daidas's axe was about to touch Mo Li's head, he moved.

With just one sword strike and one movement, Daidas maintained his downward slashing motion, and a line of blood appeared on his neck.

As time passed, the bloodline continued to extend outwards, and Daidas's head fell directly to the ground.

With a flick of his wrist, Mo Li smeared the blood from the traitor onto the floor.

Just then, a round of applause came from afar, and an old man dressed as a black godfather appeared before Mo Li with a petite cross-dressing boy.

"As expected of Night Raid, you killed Daidas with a single blow. Are you interested in joining Lady Esdeath's army?"

"Your master asked me the same question two years ago, and my answer has never changed."

"What? Could it be that you are...?"

Liva's pupils dilated instantly as he considered a terrifying possibility, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

Upon seeing this, Mo Li removed her disguise and revealed her true appearance.

"As expected, it is the Demon King. It is no wonder that Daidas died at your hands."

"Are you the Mo Li that Lady Esdeath has been thinking about every day? I don't see anything different about you."

Niu looked Mo Li up and down but couldn't find anything remarkable about him. Why did Lady Esdeath hate this person so much?

Even though Daidas was the weakest of the three beast warriors, his instant death did not attract Niu's attention.

Just then, Brand, clad in a demon-possessed outfit, appeared beside Mori, his eyes fixed on Riva, and said:

"That's because you simply don't understand Lord Moli's true strength. It's been a long time, General Liva!"

"Oh, it's Brand. I didn't expect you to be on this ship. You've grown a lot."

"General Liva, so you've chosen to back down after all. In that case, we are enemies!"
