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

"Well, do you understand now? Even if you lose your life force, I can restore it with the Fourth Bullet. In that case, the three restrictions of Susanoo can be removed."

"I see. But you must feel burdened using this ability!"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have a lot of time saved up over the years, so there won't be any major problems."

Mo Li answered casually, but to the others it didn't seem like the case. It turned out that using this ability wasn't without its price. Perhaps Mo Li was just saying that to avoid worrying them.

Little did they know, Mo Li's own time was already close to infinite. In addition, over the years, Mo Li had intentionally used the City of Devouring Time to absorb the time of many alien soldiers and imperial soldiers. Within thirty years, Mo Li had enough time to come and go as he pleased. After all, he had killed far more people than Kurumi.

"Come on, Najenda, let me see the true power of Susanoo!"

"I understand, get ready to attack! Susanoo, manifest your evil spirit!"

An invisible life force continuously surged from Najenda's body, connecting with the evil spirit on Susanoo's chest, and the red evil spirit began to emit a dazzling light.

Her originally sea-blue short hair turned pale in an instant, and her white horns turned black.

His clothes were shattered by the force of the energy, revealing his tough body underneath, leaving him only in a pair of black trousers.

A black, metallic ring appeared behind Susanoo, like the Truth-Seeking Balls in Naruto, with very complex patterns engraved on its surface.

In an instant, a wave of energy emanated from Susanoo's body and spread outwards, causing everyone to feel a sense of oppression.

Mo Li felt Susanoo's aura rising steadily, and once again drew his Blade of Rebellion, his face filled with excitement.

"Excellent, this is the kind of battle I wanted. This time, I will show no mercy!"

Chapter 262 Battle! The Sealed Lord Displays His Power!

Mo Li charged forward again, unleashing his full power as soon as he entered the arena, and directly severed Susanoo's left arm.

However, it quickly grew back. Susanoo used the Yasakani no Magatama to reach mid-air and launched an attack on Mo Li, which resulted in a crisp air explosion.

As countless fist gusts came, Mo Li could no longer see Susanoo's attacks with his naked eye, so he had to activate his Mangekyou Sharingan and dodge the attacks with his Observation Haki.

At the same time, as Mo Li distanced himself from Susanoo, he unleashed a slash from the Blade of Rebellion.

Seeing this, Susanoo did not choose to dodge. Instead, he summoned a black mirror out of thin air to protect his entire body.

The moment the slash landed on the mirror, it changed direction, returned along the same path, and rushed towards Mo Li.

Mo Li narrowed his eyes and dodged the slash that was meant for him. It has the ability to reflect attacks and move at high speed. Interesting.

"So, I'll finish you off with close combat. What are you going to do about your fatal weakness?"

"Tian Cong Yun Sword!"

The only answer Mo Li received was these four words, and a pale blue longsword appeared in Susanoo's hand.

With a clang, the Blade of Rebellion clashed with the Kusanagi Sword. The impact uprooted the surrounding trees, and the massive shockwave knocked over the people not far away.

During the battle, Mo Li's face was covered with a fine layer of sweat. Susanoo's strength had increased more than double compared to before, and he was already showing signs of being able to rival Mo Li.

Even if Esdeath came, she would probably suffer a defeat without using Makopotama.

Whether it's speed, defensive counterattacks, or offensive skills like the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, Susanoo has received comprehensive enhancements, truly befitting his power gained by consuming his master's life force.

After another collision, Mo Li and Susanoo stood on opposite sides, the ground covered with traces of battle, craters of varying sizes, and the surrounding area in a mess.

Looking at Akame and the others, they had already run to the surrounding mountain peaks to observe the battle between the two.

"Wow, wow, I have to admit, you've really gotten a lot stronger!"

"Thank you for your compliment. By the way, I have already straightened your clothes."

Mo Li lowered his head. His clothes, which had been exposed, had been folded inside. Mo Li smiled bitterly. Had he been too focused on the battle? He hadn't even noticed this little detail.

"Looks like I'll have to use my real skills. I don't want people to say that the Demon King can't even beat a Teigu."

Mo Li covered her forehead with her hand and tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.

Susanoo stared blankly at Mo Li, his hand poised to activate the Yata Mirror at any moment.

With the awakening of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the Sealed Master was summoned into Mo Li's hands. By utilizing the Sealed Master's [Closed] mode, Susanoo's functions could be shut down.

Mo Li slowly moved towards Susanoo, his feet making a crisp sound as he stepped on the ground.

Susanoo felt fear as he sealed away the main body, a voice in his mind telling him that he must not let that weapon that looked like a key get close to him.

With this in mind, Susanoo decided to strike first and used the Kusanagi Sword on Mo Li.

A miraculous scene unfolded: the Kusanagi Sword struck Mo Li as if it were striking thin air.

Seeing Susanoo approach, Mo Li smiled slightly, picked up the Seal Master, and stabbed it towards Susanoo's chest.

Seeing this, Susanoo quickly used the Yata no Kagami to block it, but he didn't see the smile that appeared on Mo Li's lips.

"Unseal the gate!"

With a gentle turn of the key, the Yata Mirror vanished from Susanoo's hand, and no matter how he tried to summon it, it had no effect.

Susanoo, unwilling to accept defeat, wanted to try again, but he didn't expect that even the Kusanagi Sword would be sealed away by the Sealer. Without the two great sacred treasures, Susanoo's fighting power plummeted.

The scene before them completely shocked the onlookers. The strange weapon in Mo Li's hand could actually seal weapons, so wouldn't that mean it could even seal Imperial Arms?

"So powerful. No wonder Mo Li was so confident when facing the Imperial Arms user. It turns out he has such a powerful weapon."

"This is also a Teigu, no, it should be called an Anti-Teigu. Where did he get so many powerful items? This is too unfair!"

"Boss, do you know about Mo Li's background? How exactly did the leader of the Revolutionary Army recruit such a monster?"

People have begun to doubt whether Mo Li is even from this world. Not only his opponents, but even his teammates feel that such a powerful and boundless figure as Mo Li simply does not exist.

Najendan's pupils also dilated considerably as she began to recall the events upon hearing her teammates' questions.

"Hmm... According to the leader, Mo Li took the initiative to approach the Revolutionary Army, and on the very day he joined, he challenged all the Imperial Arms users of the Revolutionary Army, and without exception, he was defeated by all of them!"

"I don't know much about him either. He called himself the Demon King when he defeated tens of thousands of imperial soldiers. As for his background, I've never heard him mention it."

"However, one thing is certain: Mo Li is a trustworthy companion!"

The crowd nodded thoughtfully, seemingly understanding something, yet also seemingly understanding nothing at all.

The battle below was also coming to an end. Without weapons or means of counterattack, Susanoo could only try to distance himself from Mo Li by constantly moving at high speed.

But no matter where he ran, Mo Li would appear behind him like a shadow, and the distance between the two became closer and closer, and Susanoo's head was covered with more and more sweat.

Susanoo looked back, but Mo Li was nowhere to be seen. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a portal appeared in front of him.

The sudden appearance of the portal made Susanoo feel uneasy. He tried to get away, but it was too late.

Suddenly, a key shot out from the middle and struck Susanoo in the abdomen.

"Unseal the gate!"

As Mo Li finished speaking, the battle came to an end. Susanoo's functions were sealed, and he remained motionless in place, just as he had been when he was asleep.

Seeing that the battle was over, Najenda quickly arrived in front of Moli with Akame, Brand, and the others.

Looking at Susanoo, who still wore a panicked expression, Najenda sighed. She knew this would be the final outcome, after all, she had never seen anyone who could defeat Moli.

"Mo Li, release Susanoo from his seal. You have won this battle!"

"Feeling pretty good, ah~ ah, my body feels much more comfortable, Seal Master—Open!"

Now that the battle was over, Mo Li released Susanoo from his seal and put away the seal release device.

Upon regaining his powers, Susanoo stumbled back and fell to the ground after seeing the crowd before him. Even now, he remains immersed in the terrifying shadow of Mo Li.

Seeing this, Brand stepped forward, reached out, and pulled Susanoo up from the ground, saying:

"Don't worry, I've never seen anyone push Lord Mo Li to this point before. You've done a great job. Let's start the training of real men together!"

"As expected, that wasn't Lord Mo Li's true strength. Those unpredictable methods, even if all the Imperial Arms users joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him!"

Upon hearing Susanoo's words, Mo Li snorted coldly and did not reply.

He never underestimated this world, and he dared not underestimate the power of the Imperial Arms. Of the forty-eight Imperial Arms, there was no guarantee that one of them might pose a threat to him.

Although the chances are very small, it doesn't mean they are nonexistent.

Caution is one of Mo Li's principles for surviving to this day; never underestimate your opponent, Maru.

Chapter 263 Esdeath's Cleanup, Mo Li's Special Training Methods

Imperial Capital, Hunter's Conference Room

Esdeath sat bored in a chair, one hand supporting her chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Ran was reporting to Esdeath, after all, Dr. Fashion's disappearance was no small matter. A genius scientist, a Teigu user, and a member of the Hunter Squad, any one of these titles was enough to attract the attention of those above.

The hunters acted immediately upon discovery, preparing to search for Dr. Fashion's whereabouts.

"The professor's house has been searched, but no decisive clues have been found regarding his disappearance."

"However, all the precious experimental materials and equipment in the laboratory are still there."

A smile appeared on Esdeath's face. Before leaving, Mo Li had already instructed her not to hinder the Hunters' investigation and to simply shift all the blame to Night Raid.

Anyway, it was Mo Li who killed him, so it's not like he's taking the blame. In any case, we can't let people suspect Esdeath.

Esdeath yawned, and looked up at Ran and Liu in front of her, saying:

"It doesn't look like they escaped; they were definitely killed."

"Judging from the fact that all the reinforced soldiers are missing, they must have been killed in battle."

"I see. How's your investigation of those mountains outside the capital going?"

"It has been confirmed that this is the location of Night Raid's headquarters, and there were signs of a battle that night. Judging from the corpses on site, it was indeed Dr. Fashion's cyborg unit."

Ran glanced down at the investigation report and then spoke to Esdeath. However, he cleverly avoided mentioning anything about Mo Li, and even though he had disappeared, Ran pretended not to have seen it.

All the hunters knew that Esdeath and Mori had gone to fight that day, but Mori disappeared that night. No one dared to speculate on the outcome of the battle, but they could roughly guess what it was.

This is also a tacit understanding among the hunters; no one asked about Mo Li's whereabouts, and even if they guessed that Mo Li might be the one who killed Dr. Fashion, no one would be foolish enough to say it out loud.

Esdeath stood up and walked slowly to the windowsill. Looking at Seryu, who was constantly wiping her weapons in the garden, a glint of light flashed in her eyes. It seemed that Dr. Fashion was not the only one who was to be removed from the list.

After signing the contract with Mo Li, Esdeath no longer saw herself as a general of the empire. What she wanted to do was to remove any obstacles that might become a threat to Mo Li in the future.

The hatred between Seryu and Moli is irreparable. Therefore, there's only one possibility:

The strong live, the weak die!

...xsq852

A month passed quickly. During this time, Mo Li and the Night Raid members underwent intensive training on the Magu Highlands, resulting in a significant improvement in their strength.

At the very least, Mo Li won't have it as easy as before when fighting eight opponents alone.

The main pressure still comes from Brand and Susanoo. As the two strongest in Night Raid, Mo Li has to devote more than half of his strength to dealing with their attacks.

Since Chelsea was only good at assassination and not combat, she initially just watched from the sidelines.

But after Mo Li snatched the lollipop from her mouth again, Chelsea joined the others in the battle against Mo Li, and her physical abilities improved slightly.

Najenda's arm has recovered, and the regret she had before because she couldn't fight is gone. However, she still uses her strength to devise strategies and organize missions.

Leone and Brand had also cleared out most of the nearby dangerous species, and some of the higher-level dangerous species were dealt with by the group.

On this day, Najendan gathered everyone together again, and Moli had just finished training.

Leone and Lubbock limped over. During the training session just now, they had been severely reprimanded by Mo Li for slacking off.

Everyone else had some injuries, but Mine looked angry, yet also a little shy, which was puzzling.

"Oh, everyone's here! The training and real combat over this period must have improved you a lot!"

"I do have that feeling, but it would feel even better if the coach wasn't that person."

"That's right, that's right, that big pervert, why didn't Akame and Hill sense it? Boss clearly sensed it too, right?"

At this moment, Chelsea and Mine stood on the same side, angrily denouncing Mo Li's unfair treatment during training, and pointing their fingers at Akame and Hill, who were not on their side.

Najendan blushed, then coughed twice without answering.

On the contrary, the oblivious Hill and Akame didn't seem to notice anything. They were unusually slow to react to anything other than assassination, or perhaps Mo Li had simply bribed Akame with a lavish meal.

"No, I don't feel that way. The improvement I've made during this period is obvious to everyone. Mo Li just uses different training methods for each person."

"Yes, yes, Mine, aren't you being too sensitive!"

"Hey, even you, Hill, are siding with that big pervert! Don't be fooled by his appearance!"

Upon hearing Mine's "slander" of him, Mo Li felt it was necessary to come out and explain.

Although explaining it might only make things worse, if I don't fight back, it seems like the label of "pervert" will soon be pinned on me.
