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

It's the same when leading troops. Mo Li would charge forward alone, unleash a ball of fire, and end the battle instantly.

Najenda was already used to this, so she nodded and agreed with Mo Li's point of view, letting Akame manage the Night Raid.

The capital city, the general's tomb.

Esdeath stood alone before the graves of the Three Beasts, her face somber. As her subordinates who had fought alongside her for many years, it was impossible for her to say she felt nothing.

However, Esdeath believed in the ironclad rule that the strong prevail, and the deaths of the three beastmen only proved that they were not strong enough.

"Liva, Niu, Daidas, you lost. This shows you're too weak. It's only natural for the weak to be eliminated. My men, there's just no way to deal with you..."

Esdeath slowly lowered her head, a smile appearing on her lips. From the corpses of the Three Beasts, she saw traces of Mo Li. Whether it was the remnants of ice vapor or the traces of explosive magic, it proved that the one who killed the Three Beasts must have been Mo Li. I have finally found you.

Upon learning that Mo Li was hiding in the Night Raid, Esdeath's fighting spirit soared to unprecedented heights.

"Since there's no other way, let me avenge you. The new subordinates of the Imperial Arms users arrived today. Although I've heard they're a group of suspicious people, I'll play with them for a while."

Esdeath's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She knew that she was already struggling to deal with Mo Li on her own, and since all the Night Raid members were Imperial Arms users, she had to find new subordinates.

Mo Li, we'll be meeting soon, and I'm really looking forward to that day.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Arms users who had been summoned from various places were all heading to the gathering place.

They came from different armies and territories, and at this time, they had no idea what the future held for them.

Will, Imperial Arms [Asura Incarnation: Noble Chariot], is an armor-type Imperial Arms. Like Demon Possession, it was made by Tyrande and serves in the Imperial Navy.

Polus, Imperial Arms [Purgatory Summoning - Rubigand], can spew flames that cannot be extinguished by water, and can also spew magma from a distance. He serves in the Incineration Force.

Lan, Imperial Arms [Flying Thousand Miles - Mostima], allows her to fly through the sky and shoot enemies with feathers.

Dr. Fashion, Imperial Arms [God's Hand: Perfector], manufactures various precision weapons and commands a special force.

Seryu, after being killed by Mo Li, underwent Dr. Fashion's modifications, and her weapon became the "Ten Kings' Judgment".

Black Eyes, Imperial Arms [Marching of the Dead - Hachifusa], which manipulates those killed by this sword or Dangerous Species through curses.

Chapter 250 Secret Base, Mo Li's Special Services

After Najenda left, Night Raid temporarily went into hiding, occasionally sending Lubbock, Leone, and others out on missions, but most of the time everyone stayed in the base.

After finishing training this morning, Mo Li took the water cup handed to him by Brand and drank it all in one gulp.

"How boring. Lately, even the commissions are all trivial matters."

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it, Lord Mo Li. After all, Esdeath has returned to the capital."

"Where are Lubbock and Leone? I haven't seen them since this morning."

“Oh, because of the attack on Mine and Hill last time, Mine is also wanted, so now the only ones who can go to the capital to investigate are Lubbock and Leone.”

Mo Li put the water glass aside, stood up, because sitting and waiting for death was not in his nature.

Esdeath must feel the same way I do, just wondering when we'll be able to see each other again.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to the capital to gather some intelligence too!"

"Hey, Lord Mo Li, the Boss said you're not allowed to go to the capital without permission."

“Isn’t Najenda not here? Besides, I can go in disguise and I won’t be discovered.”

"That's not the issue at all. Akame already said that Lord Moli is staying at the Night Raid base."

Brand gave a wry smile. Before Najendan left, she had specifically instructed everyone not to let Mo Li go to the capital alone, and that it would be best to leave him at the Night Raid base.

Najenda knew Mo Li too well. She knew that as soon as he entered the capital, he would be eager to fight Esdeath, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

This is why Brand tried so hard to dissuade Mo Li. Although this man is always perfect when carrying out missions, once his fighting spirit is ignited, no one can control him.

Mo Li chuckled lightly, knowing that if she wanted to go somewhere, no one could stop her.

Brand knew he couldn't stop Mo Li on his own, so he could only sigh and say:

"Lord Moli, when you go there, please look for Lubbock and Leone first. They are hiding in the secret base in the capital. You should be able to find what you are looking for there."

"A secret base? There's such a fun place for night raids? Brand, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"The boss said that this is the only hiding place for Night Raid in the capital, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Stop talking nonsense and give me the address!"

Mo Li could probably guess what Najendan was thinking. She was worried that her style was too flashy and that her secret base would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives, which would be a loss.

Mo Li had no objection to this. When facing enemies, he always crushed them in one fell swoop and didn't need to hide at all. The secret base was just a fun place for him.

But for the raiders, it was an extremely important intelligence gathering point.

"Alright, it's decided, that's where we'll go, Brand, but keep it a secret from Akame!"

"Yes...yes, I understand, Lord Mo Li. Please take care!"

Brand nodded with difficulty. Akame was alright, but he couldn't keep it from Mine and Hill.

Moreover, for some reason, Brand had a feeling that Mo Li's departure would definitely cause some trouble in the capital.

Mo Li patted Brand on the shoulder, used the Sealed Master to open a portal, and walked straight in.

On the other side of the portal was the gate to the capital. Mo Li knew very well that they couldn't open a portal on the street; they had to find a secluded place.

Following the address given by Brand, Mo Li easily found the secret base of the Night Raid in the capital.

Lubbock was standing at the door, pretending to be a shop owner, diligently gathering information.

Seeing this, Mo Li walked straight forward and greeted Lubbock:

"Hey, Lubbock, looks like you've been working hard!"

"Hey, Lord Mo Li, what's wrong with you...?"

The moment Lubbock saw the person approaching, his voice rose eight octaves. Then, he quickly recovered, covered his mouth, and looked around warily. Only after finding that no one was paying attention to them did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Lubbock lowered his voice to the lowest possible level and whispered in Mo Li's ear:

"Why did you come here? I didn't receive any news that you were coming!"

"I was so bored at the base that Brand told me there was a secret base in the capital, so I came to check it out."

Upon hearing that Brand had betrayed him, Lubbock clenched his fists, determined to give him a good scolding when he got back.

Now that Mo Li was already there, Lubbock couldn't very well send him back, so he had no choice but to take Mo Li inside.

The two walked into an inner room. Lubbock went to the bookshelf, pressed a switch, and a secret passage appeared in front of them. The underground space was extremely spacious.

Leone, who was lying on the sofa, quickly got up after hearing the noise and hid the wine glass on the table behind his back.

Upon recognizing Mo Li, Leone became even more nervous; the sudden sense of oppression made her hiccup.

"Leone, you've been sneaking a drink while on a mission again, haven't you!"

"What does it matter? We've already gotten all the information we needed. A little drink won't cause any trouble."

"I hope that when Najenda returns, you can say such things so easily."

"No! Lord Mo Li, please don't tell the Boss what happened here! I'll die!"

Looking at Leone's already intoxicated expression, coupled with the faint blush on her face, Mo Li shook her head. This guy really is a handful.

Seeing this, Mo Li went directly behind Leone, turned his palm into a fist, and pressed hard on Leone's temple, causing Leone to scream in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Lord Mo Li, spare me! I'll never dare to do it again!"

After dealing with Leone, Mo Li turned to Lubbock and asked:

"So, what intelligence have you obtained?"

"Of course, right now there are all sorts of rumors about the Jaegers, the special police force in the capital. I heard that the captain is Esdeath, and it's already common knowledge all over the place."

Upon hearing news of Esdeath, Mo Li immediately became interested. Had she regrouped a new group of subordinates after losing the Three Beast Warriors, and they were all Imperial Arms users?

I really want to find her soon; the fighting spirit within me has been completely ignited.

"What a dangerous fellow. It was right not to ambush her alone. Only someone who has killed millions of people can have that kind of aura. No, of course, Lord Mo Li is even more powerful."

After Leone finished speaking, seeing Mo Li's smiling eyes, she quickly added the next sentence.

Mo Li didn't care much. After all, he had killed quite a few people. The shadow that the Demon King's pressure had cast on Leone was still not completely gone. Leone felt terrified whenever she thought about it.

"I advise you to run as far away as you can and as fast as you can when facing Esdeath. An opponent of that level is not someone that one or two Teigu users can defeat."

"Even Lord Mo Li says so, just how powerful a monster is that guy?!"

"Of course, if I'm here, there's absolutely no need to worry, because Esdeath's target will only be me. You guys just need to run."

"Is it that terrifying? Oh right, I heard that Esdeath is hosting a martial arts competition for the citizens of the capital. I can take this opportunity to observe... mmm..."

Before Lubbock could finish speaking, Leone covered his mouth and looked at Mo Li with a nervous expression.

Sure enough, upon hearing that he could meet Esdeath, Mo Li's eyes gleamed with excitement. Could it be that they would finally meet?

Leone covered her face. Oh no, the Boss is really going to skin me alive now. He told me before not to talk about Esdeath in front of Mo Li.

Drinking alcohol can really lead to trouble!

Chapter 251 Mo Li's participation in the competition: I mean, everyone here is trash.

Upon hearing that Esdeath would be appearing in the martial arts competition, Mo Li couldn't wait to go.

Seeing this, Leone quickly blocked Mo Li's path, his face covered in cold sweat.

"Are you serious? You know, Esdeath is looking for you all over the world."

"So what? I'd love to fight her again anyway!"

“But if your identity is exposed, not only me, but also Akame, Mine, and Hill may be implicated, and the entire Night Raid may be destroyed.”

Mo Li lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before continuing to walk forward. He pushed Leone aside and said:

"Just don't let her discover my identity. Besides, isn't what Night Raid needs most right now intelligence? If I have the opportunity to infiltrate the Hunters, your situation will be much better."

"Well... that's not entirely unreasonable. No, the issue now is the consequences of you revealing your identity!"

For a moment, Leone thought Mo Li's words made a lot of sense, but he quickly realized that what Mo Li had said was only the most ideal situation. What if they were discovered?

In front of everyone, Leone couldn't figure out how Moli would defend himself against so many Teigu users' attacks.

It's worth noting that on the day of the competition, in addition to the Hunters and Esdeath being present, General Budo will also be there in person.

With the Empire's two pillars, and every Jaeger being a Teigu user, Leone felt terrified just thinking about being surrounded.

Seeing this, Mo Li patted Leone on the shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to be too nervous about him.

"Don't worry, even if I'm discovered, they can't do anything to me. Even if I can't beat them, no one can catch me if I run away. Besides, Esdeath won't gang up on me with others."

Mo Li understood Esdeath's personality; she wouldn't let him die before personally defeating him, and might even help him escape.

After much persuasion from Mo Li, Leone finally nodded with difficulty.

After dealing with Leone, Mo Li set off excitedly, transforming into a teenager and registering at the registration office. Since there were no restrictions on registration, Mo Li quickly passed the physical examination.

To ensure that Mo Li wouldn't cause any major trouble, Leone still chose to go to the scene with Lubbock.

The central square of the capital city, a martial arts arena.

At the very top of this circular plaza, Esdeath sat on a luxurious sofa, glancing at the two people competing below, and yawned boredly.

The hunter, Lan, stood respectfully beside her, introducing the people who had come from the audience.

Seated on the other side of the stands was General Budo, the supreme commander of the Imperial Army, who was deeply trusted by the Emperor and was known as one of the "Twin Pillars of the Empire" along with Esdeath.

This competition was held to select elite talents, so it's understandable that General Bude would come.

However, because there was no limit to the number of applicants, the quality of the candidates varied greatly, and none of them met Bud's standards. Nevertheless, he persisted in watching.

Mo Li was standing offstage, waiting for the host to call her name. She looked up at Esdeath and smiled slightly. They had finally met again.

Then he looked at General Bude on the other side. From his strong body, Mo Li could feel the immense power contained within him.

Wearing a silver gauntlet, Mo Li knew that it was Bud's Imperial Arm, [Thunder God's Wrath - Admiral], which had the ability to manipulate lightning and could enhance his striking power.

Mo Li used his clairvoyance to spot Leone and Lubbock in the stands and waved to them.

It seems Leone still doesn't trust me. Honestly, even without Junyan, I have multiple ways to defeat all the Teigu users present, including Esdeath and Budo.

The two on the stage quickly decided the winner, and Mo Li knew that he would be the next one to perform.

Because he registered late, he was assigned to the last group, where his opponent was a butcher.

"In the East, there is the butcher Karubi; in the West, there is the adventurer Sato Kazuma."
