Natara, a childhood friend who grew up with Akame and Kurome, was once also a member of an assassination squad. She is extremely powerful and possesses a long, extendable sword-shaped weapon.

"Natara! Return to the earth, aren't we childhood friends?"

"What are you saying, sister? It's precisely because we're companions that I want to be together forever. I'll add you to my collection too, so we can be together like before!"

"Do not make jokes!"

Akame was unable to withstand the attacks from Kurome and Natara alone, so she had to retreat and create distance between them.

Meanwhile, Mo Li was in the magma of Borus. The temperature was so low that it couldn't even break through his defenses. His true form was the King of Bronze and Fire.

Polus stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous. This was the first time he had ever seen someone face the [Rubigand] flames so easily.

"As expected of the strongest member of the Revolutionary Army, even the Imperial Arms cannot harm you in the slightest."

"That's not entirely true. You're just unlucky. Flames are ineffective against me. Well then, I hope you can survive my next move!"

Upon hearing what Mo Li said, Polus became extremely alert, staring intently at Mo Li's every move.

But in the next instant, Mo Li disappeared from his sight, and when he heard the sound again, she was already behind him.

Borus tried to turn around, but it was too late.

"Without the ability to use Imperial Arms, you're just an ordinary Imperial soldier. Goodbye, Polus!" Maru.

Chapter 272 I'll finish you in three seconds; the battle is over before it even begins.

A splash of blood stained Polus's clothes. His prized Imperial Arm was cleaved in two by Mo Li, who attacked from behind, leaving a gaping gash on his back as well.

Blood continued to gush from the wound. Polus gradually lost his strength, his eyes began to glaze over, and his hands and feet grew cold. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

Polus understood that he would one day die at the hands of others, so he had long been prepared for it.

The only things he couldn't let go of were his wife and daughter at home.

"Mr. Mo Li, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Fine, for your daughter's sake!"

"Please tell my daughter that her father died a heroic death on the battlefield, not killed by the hero she admires. Please!"

"I understand. I grant your request. In your next life, don't be a soldier of the Empire again!"

Upon hearing Mo Li's agreement, Polus's face was filled with a slight smile. Although Mo Li couldn't see it because of the mask, he could imagine that Polus must be very happy right now.

Mo Li sighed, and after confirming that Polus had completely stopped breathing, he looked up at Destagur.

Susanoo is struggling to hold on by himself, while Brand, Hill, Mine, and others are fighting against the other puppets and cannot get away for the time being.

Judging by the timeline, Esdeath should be facing off against her subordinates soon.

In order to buy Esdeath time to provide support without revealing any weaknesses, Mo Li made a special trip to Anning Road and used the Eye of Geass to control the local bandit group.

Including the interrogation time, it will probably take an hour or two; any longer and it will arouse suspicion.

Polus has already perished in the Northwest, and Black Eyes has also seen the commotion here. If she is left alone, it will be extremely difficult to fight against the entire Night Raid team, let alone with someone like Mo Li on the other side.

However, Kurome didn't want to give up this opportunity to kill Akame, and she had been waiting for this day for who knows how long.

It seems the only way to deal with them is by relying on super-dangerous species. I wonder how long it will be before we meet again.

Kuroko was already considering retreating, wondering whether she should use the puppet to cover her escape.

"Go, Destagul!"

Destagul opened its huge mouth, and wisps of blue energy were gathering inside.

Everyone quickly retreated; the energy of the super dangerous species was something they couldn't withstand.

Mo Li coldly stared at Destagur, who was gathering energy, and laughed disdainfully. He leaped into the air and landed in front of everyone. "I might not have been afraid of you when you were alive, let alone a mere corpse."

"Master Fengjie—open!"

Mo Li opened a portal, and the energy was sucked in before it could even touch him.

Immediately afterward, another portal appeared above Destagur, and a massive torrent of energy fell from the sky, striking Destagur's body head-on.

Seeing this, Kuro-tomi quickly jumped off Destagur, afraid of being affected by this energy.

Destagur, who was hit head-on by his own special move, was covered in white smoke and had multiple bone fractures.

"Oops, you're so careless. Well, I'll give you another shot then."

"Excalibur Morgan!"

A massive torrent of magic rushed directly towards Destagur. Because it was instantaneous, its power was much weaker than before, but it still managed to slice off half of Destagur's body.

Even so, Destagur can still move around because he has already died, so there is no possibility of him dying again. This is the advantage of the Eighth House.

"It seems that I can't let you rest in peace unless I destroy you completely. Fine, defeating you so easily would take away a lot of the fun!"

"Camael Megiddo!"

Another massive energy cannon shot was fired, with the Sovereign Flame continuously injected into the Scorching Demon Annihilator. The flames that were finally fired reached a temperature of 8,000 degrees Celsius, directly engulfing Destagur in a sea of ​​fire.

Under such high temperatures, Destaguru's body exploded violently, and his skeleton was blown to pieces.

The flames gradually died down, and the ground was burned to a black charcoal. Even a super dangerous species could not withstand two such attacks in succession.

Seeing this, Hei Tong realized that she was no match for Mo Li, so retreat was the only option.

Furthermore, Esdeath had told him that if the number of people differed too much, they could retreat.

I am a hunter, not an imperial assassination squad. If things were done the old way, trash would be disposed of like garbage, and there would be no retreat even if it meant death.

Kuroko glanced at Akame below, and although she was somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to retreat.

"Let my other dolls keep you company for a while, I won't join in!"

Using the dolls to delay the night attack, I need to hurry and reunite with Esdeath.

Najenda saw through Kurohime's thoughts at a glance. Having finally seized this opportunity, how could she possibly let it go?

"Everyone, attack together! Don't let Kurohime get away!"

"No, there's no need for that!"

Just as Brand and the others were preparing to cover Mo Li, Mo Li shook his head, held up three fingers, and said:

"Three seconds, I can take care of these puppets in just three seconds!"

"Hmph, you overestimate yourself. I admit you're strong, but to think you can take down all my puppets in three seconds is just wishful thinking!"

Black Eyes mocked Mo Li, then waved his hand, summoning the remaining seven puppets. Each puppet was a top-tier fighter, including two dangerous species.

Seven puppets launched an attack on Mo Li from multiple directions.

Mo Li slowly closed his eyes and began to silently count down, like a judge summoning death.

"3, 2, 1!"

When Mo Li read "1", he suddenly opened his eyes. Time seemed to stand still for a moment. The falling leaves, the dolls flying in the air, and even the Night Raid members next to him all froze.

"Mahāprabhāṣma, time-space freeze," this is the source of Mo Li's confidence in being able to resolve the matter of everyone within three seconds.

With a swift motion—drawing his sword, leaping into the air, slashing, and sheathing it—Mo Li snapped his fingers, and time resumed its flow.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, the seven puppets were lying on the ground, some even cut in half, with Natara lying among them.

Hei Tong stared at Mo Li in disbelief. Even she had spent a great deal of effort assassinating these puppets when she subdued them, and now she was being told that Mo Li had taken care of them all in just three seconds.

The battle was over before it even began, an experience that made Black Eyes' vision go black.

"What? What just happened?"

"I don't know. I didn't see any trace of him making a move. No, I don't even know when he made a move!"

"As expected of Lord Mo Li, you are definitely the strongest person I have ever met!"

"Am I dreaming, Hill? Could you pinch me?"

"Ah, yes, okay."

"Ouch! O ...

Mine clutched her arm and jumped up; the intense pain told her that this was reality.

The reactions of the others during the night raid were basically the same as Mine's, except for someone as oblivious as Brand.

From any perspective, those puppets are not easy to deal with, and there are seven of them in total.

None of the people present could defeat seven people without taking damage, let alone within three seconds.

Chapter 273 Catching a Black-Eyed One? Are You a Puppy?

While everyone was still reeling from the shock, Kuroko had already taken the opportunity to slip away quietly.

What a joke! After witnessing the demon king's methods, she had no desire to fight anymore.

Mo Li also spotted Hei Tong's trail, smiled slightly, and followed from behind.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Mo Li and Hei Tong had already disappeared, and it was probably too late to chase after them.

"What should we do, Boss? Should we continue the pursuit?"

"No, there's no need for that. Let's rest for now and wait for Mo Li to return!"

Najendan shook her head. In any case, it wouldn't make much difference if they caught up, so she might as well rest and prepare to head to the Anning Road headquarters.

The Hunters have already lost one Polus and two spies, which has dealt them a significant blow. Now it remains to be seen how they will respond.

Najendan had a premonition that this trip to Anning Road wouldn't go so smoothly.

On the other side, Kurohime endured the side effects of the medication and swiftly traversed the forest. Until she reunited with Esdeath, she was in danger.

Kuroko remained vigilant, her head throbbing with pain. With all eight puppets killed, she was now exceptionally agile, yet she dared not be careless in the slightest.

After running for a while, Kuroko finally stopped; she had reached her limit.

Hei Tong took out a piece of candy from the backpack at his waist and swallowed it in one gulp, which relieved his condition somewhat.

Black Eyes sat on a large rock to the side, panting heavily. Any slight movement would attract her attention, and she dared not rest for too long because her nerves were on edge.

"Ah, all the toys are broken. It's probably impossible to collect materials of that level again. Where did that guy even come from?!"

"It's not impossible, little sister with black eyes!"

Mo Li's voice suddenly rang out from behind. Hei Tong was about to pick up the Eighth Chamber from the side when she found that she could no longer move, as her hands and feet were covered in frost.

Mo Li slowly walked up to Kuroto, picked up the Imperial Arms [Yafusa] from the side, and began to observe it secretly.

Can they control corpses, or even be dangerous species? The abilities of Imperial Arms are truly diverse.

Black Eyes' body was frozen and the frost penetrated her body. Even if she could move, she was in a stiff state. At this moment, she was like a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of others.

"You caught up, huh? Tch. Dying at your hands is not so bad. It's just a pity I didn't kill my sister!"

"Save your energy. Do you think I don't know? You won't die unless I cut off your head or destroy your heart, right? Are you trying to play dead and slip away?"

"You... how do you know all this? It's impossible! After Dr. Fashion 964 died, no one knew this secret!" 460

Hei Tong looked on incredulously. It was supposed to be a secret weapon meant to be a killing move, but in front of Mo Li, she had no secrets at all.

Mo Li could create even Imperial Arms at will, if he so desired.

"Who are you? A monster? A humanoid dangerous species?"

Black Eyes had never seen anyone like Mo Li before, and fear swept over her.

Mo Li was speechless. This humanoid dangerous creature was going too far. He was a demon king, after all. How could it compare him to such a lowly monster?

Looking at the black pupils that were no longer able to move, Mo Li smiled slightly, hoisted the black pupils onto his shoulder, and walked away into the distance.

"What...what are you going to do?"

"I'll take you back to Night Raid. I'm sure Akame will be very happy to see you!"

"Let me go! I won't go back to Night Raid with you. Just kill me! Even if I die, I will never join the Revolutionary Army. Traitors deserve to die!"

"If you had that ability, you wouldn't have been carried on my shoulder without any resistance!"

Mo Li ignored Hei Tong's words. There was no need to listen to what someone who had been brainwashed by the Empire said. Besides, with her strength, she was not a threat even without the Imperial Arms.

Seeing that Mo Li was about to rush back, Hei Tong, in a moment of desperation, bit down on Mo Li's shoulder.

"Ah wu..."

"Hey, are you a puppy? Let go right now, or I'll get rough with you!"
