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

Leone clenched his fists, stood up with a fierce fighting spirit, and his eyes blazed with fury.

"Alright, Hill and Mine will be in one group. You two are responsible for luring out the hunters in Romaing. The rest of you will come with me to the south to ambush them. Remember, don't expose yourselves too much, or you'll alert them!"

"Don't worry, I know all of that."

"With me watching over Mine, there won't be any problems!"

Chapter 270 On the Importance of Acting Skills, Will's Self-Cultivation

Imperial Capital, Hunter's Conference Room.

Esdeath sat listlessly in her chair, reminiscing about the crazy time she had with Moli on the beach that day.

Since returning that day, Esdeath would often find herself deep in thought, clutching Mo Li's shirt, waiting for the opportunity Mo Li had mentioned to arrive.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Esdeath glanced at the time outside the window and frowned. It didn't seem to be time to report yet. Could it be that the minister had given her another task?

Esdeath had been searching for Sheila's whereabouts these past few days, but it was as if she had vanished into thin air. No one she had sent out, whether it was the security force or the Teigu users, had found any trace of her.

This is understandable. With the Teigu [Shangri-La], he is indeed very difficult to find, and even if he is found, it is impossible to arrest him.

After Esdeath invited the visitor in, she discovered that it was Ran, one of the hunters, someone even Mo Li was somewhat wary of.

It's not that he's strong, but rather that his intelligence is ridiculously high. He sees through most of the night raids, but he doesn't manage to catch them in any real way.

Ran slowly approached Esdeath, bowed, and then spoke:

"Captain, a person suspected to be Mine and Hill from the Night Raid has been spotted in eastern Rome!"

Upon hearing this news, Esdeath was overjoyed. Was this the signal Mo Li had given him?

Esdeath slowly stood up, picked up the general's hat from the side, put it on her head, and then said:

"Calling all hunters!"

Meanwhile, Mo Li and Najendan stood atop the mountain where they had ambushed them, overlooking the magnificent scenery before them, though they wondered how long this beautiful view would last.

Not long after, a pigeon landed on Najendan's arm, with a letter hanging from her ankle.

Najendan unwrapped the letter, read it carefully, and then said to Mo Li:

"The plan has succeeded. All six hunters have left the city and are heading this way."

"How long do you estimate it will take them to get here?"

"Considering Esdeath's speed of travel and the time it takes to find out our whereabouts, she should arrive here around tomorrow afternoon. What are you going to do?"

Mo Li slowly opened his eyes. Was this day finally coming? For some reason, Mo Li's fighting spirit was burning. It was a game he was sure to win, so why did he feel excited?

"Needless to say, Hill, Mine, it's your turn. As we planned, act nonchalant and attract attention."

"I understand!" ×2

After giving the order, Mo Li turned around again, his mind racing with possible scenarios.

The main purpose this time is to clear up the misunderstanding between Akame and Kurome. If the two still end up fighting each other, Mo Li is not sure what to do.

However, according to the whispered tales, Kurohime's health seems to be deteriorating day by day, and she has only been able to survive until now thanks to medication alone, so we must end this quickly.

A key figure must be mentioned here: Gozchi, the "father" of the elite seven members of the Imperial Assassination Squad and the former owner of the Imperial Arms Murasame.

It was because Kurohime was not selected for the elite seven that she was injected with drugs to forcibly enhance her abilities.

What Mo Li needs to do now is to bring this girl, who has been brainwashed by the Empire, back to the right path.

The next day arrived quickly. After Hill and Mine revealed their identities, they disappeared in a flash, leaving in front of the local residents and going to two different places with the rest of the Night Raid team.

Esdeath arrived with her hunters in the afternoon and learned of the news after inquiring.

"Najeta went east, and Moli went south. We have eyewitness reports that they split up in this town. What should we do next?"

“If we go east, we can reach the headquarters of Anning Road, which is called Bliss, while if we go south, we can reach the city that is in cahoots with the rebels. Either way is very suspicious.”

"If we hurry, we can catch up soon. Let's go!"

Will pretended to be impatient, appearing very eager to catch Night Raid.

But Esdeath still thought it was too fake. She was starting to doubt whether Mo Li had made a mistake by letting Will join. Didn't she see that Ran was already looking at her with suspicion?

Esdeath glared at Will, then turned to the crowd and said:

"Don't rush. Night Raid are thieves from the capital. The wanted posters haven't been issued to the local areas. They were careless and showed their faces, and their whereabouts were discovered. Moreover, they were even found to have split into two groups. Don't you think all of this is too easy?"

"Yes, it's very likely a trap. Could it be something they deliberately set up to be discovered?"

Upon hearing Lan's statement, Will realized the huge flaw in his previous words and broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he usually acts very carefree, so he didn't arouse suspicion from others.

Moreover, Esdeath provided cover from the side, while Will retreated to the side, becoming invisible.

But he was already on tenterhooks. Being an undercover agent was too difficult. Was his acting really that bad? It shouldn't be. He had recently read several comics about undercover agents.

Will began to doubt himself, wondering if he should ask Esdeath for advice.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on chasing the night raid, and they didn't pay much attention to Will's expression.

"Could it be that they want to lure us out of the capital and defeat us?"

"It's not impossible. Najenda is that kind of person—a ruthless fighter with a passionate heart!"

"So, pursuing them is dangerous, then how about..."

"No, we can't let this opportunity slip by. The night raider, who had been cleverly concealing himself, deliberately revealed himself, prepared for it to be a trap. We'll destroy the trap along with it!"

This is Esdeath's way of dealing with problems: even if she knows there's a trap ahead, she'll still step into it without hesitation, and then destroy both the trap and the person who made it.

Esdeath glanced at the group of people in front of her with satisfaction and began to assign tasks.

"Seryu, Lan, and I will go after Najenda; Kurohime, Will, and Borus will go after Moli!"

"Captain, I want to go after Mo Li. Could Will switch with me?"

"No, I know you want to kill Mo Li, but you're too weak. Going there will only lead to your death. It's safer for you to stay with me!"

Esdeath immediately rejected Seryu's request, saying, "How could I let a little girl like you ruin my plans?"

Seryu was clearly somewhat unconvinced, but she didn't dare to refute Esdeath's decision, so she could only pout and look displeased.

Will secretly gave Esdeath a thumbs up in his heart. If he went after Mo Li, at least his life wouldn't be in danger, and he could just coast along.

He can handle such a simple task; he just hopes that Lord Mo Li will show mercy.

"Always be vigilant about your surroundings. If there are too many people lying in ambush, you may retreat. Although I want you to launch a fierce attack, I am not asking you to go and never return!"

"They are the last rats threatening the capital. We must drive them to their doom and hunt them all down!"

Esdeath gave her final order, and then, with Ran and Seryu, she headed east in pursuit.

Will, along with Kurohime and Polus, headed south. Despite their somewhat suspicious behavior earlier, Kurohime and Polus did not suspect Will.

Kuroko's mind was filled with thoughts of finally seeing her sister; that day was finally coming.

Meanwhile, Polus was wondering how they, with just a few people, could possibly contend with Mo Li, the strongest member of the Revolutionary Army.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Mo Li's shadow still lingered in his heart.

Chapter 271 Imperial Arms Eight Chambers, Super Dangerous Beast Distagul

Mo Li stood atop a nearby mountain peak, watching Black Eyes, Will, and Bolus ride up on horseback. A smile appeared on his lips. "You've finally arrived."

Just as Esdeath had agreed, the three of them were quickly chasing south, completely unaware that it was a trap.

Just as Will was observing his surroundings, a scarecrow suddenly appeared in front of him, looking quite suspicious.

"scarecrow?"

"Placing it in the middle of the road is incredibly suspicious! Could it be a trap?!"

Will and his two companions dismounted, inwardly complaining that the trap was too obvious, and they couldn't even continue their act anymore. They could only lead the way towards the scarecrow.

As he walked, he wondered how he should pretend to be injured, or maybe he should look cool.

Just as Will was thinking this, a yellow laser beam shot straight towards them, or rather, towards Black Eyes, at an extremely fast speed.

The moment Hei Tong noticed, she dodged to the side with superhuman reaction speed.

Will quickly drew his weapon and looked in the direction from which the laser was coming, unaware that the real killing blow was yet to come.

Suddenly, the scarecrow sprang up, and Susanoo burst out from it, swinging with all his might at Will.

Will quickly used his Imperial Arm to block, but as soon as the two weapons touched, Will sensed something was wrong. Weren't we supposed to be acting? Why are you using your full power right away? Did you get the wrong script?

What he didn't know was that, in order to avoid exposing Will's identity and to make the performance seem realistic, Mo Li specifically instructed Susanoo to make Will lose his fighting ability from the very beginning.

Will gritted his teeth and persevered, but in a pure contest of strength, he was no match for Susanoo. In the next instant, he was sent flying by Susanoo's spiked club and disappeared without a trace.

Mo Li, who was on the mountaintop, nodded when he saw this scene. After all, once the battle started, any move Will made to hold back would be noticed by Hei Tong and Borus, so it was better to leave the scene as soon as possible.

This piece is not ready to be exposed yet, at least not until we convince Kurohime.

Najenda, along with Brand, Akame, Leone, Hill, and others, blocked the path of Kurome and Polus. Lubbock and Chelsea, being non-combatants, remained hidden in the shadows.

Mine remained lying prone on the other side of the cliff, ready to pull the trigger and snipe at any moment.

"Although the sniping failed, it was very successful in dispersing the enemy's forces and knocking away those who were not the target. Now it's your turn."

"A night raid? And all of them are here—no, wait, where are the others?"

"Since you're so eager to see me, I guess I'll have no choice but to come out. Polus, it's been a long time!"

Mo Li walked out of a portal with his hands in his pockets. The entire Night Raid team had arrived.

Black Eyes stared intently at Red Eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. "If we can turn my sister into a doll, then we can be together forever."

"It seems that the intelligence Xiang Dong provided was just a decoy; our real target is us!"

“Polus, I remember you said that I once saved your homeland, right? How about joining the revolutionary army with me? You don’t want to stay in this corrupt empire any longer, do you?”

"I'm sorry, Lord Mo Li, I was already prepared for this. I have burned countless people to death, so it is understandable that I would be targeted by assassins. However, a soldier's mission is to obey orders. Even if my opponent is Lord Mo Li, I will defeat you!"

Upon hearing what Polus said, Mo Li narrowed his eyes and shook his head. He had thought he could easily persuade him to surrender, but it seemed he had been too naive.

"So you're saying you refused? You really think you're a soldier? The order you carried out was to burn those innocent villagers to death?"

"That's right, let me see just how big the gap is between me and the strongest in the Revolutionary Army!"

Borus raised his Imperial Arm, [Purgatory Summons Rubigand], from which flames spewed forth that could not be extinguished even with water, and could even spew magma.

Mo Li scratched his head. Since that was the case, it seemed that he had no choice but to fight. He hadn't originally intended to kill him.

On the other side, Kurome and Akame stood facing each other, while the rest of the Night Raid team tacitly moved away from there.

"Sister, I miss you so much! This is wonderful! If I kill you with my own hands, I can add you to the collection of [Hachifu]!"

After saying that, Kuroko revealed a strange smile, raised his right hand high to the Eighth Chamber, and a black light ignited at the tip of the sword, causing the earth to tremble.

Several cracks suddenly appeared in the ground, and a huge bone claw emerged from the ground, followed by the head, body, and feet. It was even taller than the previous Dangerous Titan.

Destagur, a Super Dangerous type that was used as material for Teigu, has astonishing destructive power. Even Murasame could not cause it any damage, making it arguably the strongest of the puppets.

"I'm different now than before. I can turn any corpse into a doll, sister."

"Wow, this looks really impressive! My fighting spirit is about to ignite!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mo Li, but I am your opponent, and I will absolutely not let you pass."

Just as Mo Li was about to test the strength of the super dangerous species, Bolus blocked his way.

Even with his good temper, being repeatedly blocked by others would eventually make Mo Li lose patience.

"Fine, I'll show you that the gap in strength between you and me is an insurmountable chasm!"

Mo Li summoned the Blade of Rebellion and charged toward Polus, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The others also acted quickly. Each of the eight rooms controlled one of the eight corpses. Brand, Susanoo, Leone, Akame, Sheele, and Mine each went to their respective opponents. Even Najenda joined the battle.

As Kurome's older sister, Akame is well aware of Yatsufusa's weaknesses. The more corpses Yatsufusa manipulates during her operation, the more her host's abilities are reduced, and the more her Teigu user's stamina is consumed.

"In other words, as long as the caster is defeated, the other controlled corpses will become ineffective!"

After saying that, Akame was the first to rush forward, leaping a few steps to reach Kurome and raising the Murasame high.

Kurohime showed no sign of panic. Just as the Murasame rain was about to fall, a figure blocked Kurohime's path, causing Akame's eyes to widen in surprise.
