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

"Phew, that was really dangerous. I almost got caught in the blast wave."

Although he said that, Mo Li's face did not show any sign of relief; instead, he looked completely relaxed.

Seryu is a typical example of someone brainwashed by the Empire, and her brainwashing was even more severe than that of Kurome. Ouka's death merely lifted the shackles that had been binding her.

A distorted sense of justice took root and grew in Seryu's mind. She couldn't see the darkness of the empire, that the guilty must be punished, unaware that she was nothing more than an executioner for the empire.

Just like that classic line: "It's not you who's wrong, it's the world." (Tokiomi takes the blame)

"Arno, Mo Li, can you put me down now?"

Hearing the shy voice of the red-eyed girl in his arms, Mo Li's lips curled up slightly, as if he had thought of something fun. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Mo Li not only didn't let go of Chi Tong, but hugged her even tighter, which made Chi Tong's face flush red.

"No, Akame, you're injured, aren't you? It's better if I protect you."

"No, no... it's alright, this little injury is nothing."

"Whether it's in the way or not is up to me, Akame. Just behave yourself and don't move, just like your little sister!"

Mentioning Hei Tong, Chi Tong instantly fell silent, burying her head in Mo Li's arms.

After a long while, Mo Li felt her clothes become damp, and only then did she realize that Chi Tong's tears had seeped in.

She probably never imagined that she and Kurohime would one day be reunited.

Mo Li could understand Chi Tong's feelings. They were the two closest people, yet they turned against each other because of their different positions. If Mo Li hadn't been there, one of them would probably have died.

"Thank you, Mo Li!"

Chi Tong gripped Mo Li's clothes tightly and thanked him softly.

Seeing this, Mo Li shook his head slightly. Although he had his own purpose, he was very happy to see the two sisters reconcile.

"It's alright, Akame. If you want to repay me, become mine and stay with me forever!"

"Hey! Wait a minute, I didn't agree to that, don't talk nonsense."

"Don't you want to reunite with Kurohime? If we were all together, wouldn't that make it possible?"

"What are you talking about, everyone together or something... I, I still..."

Akame's rhythm was clearly disrupted, and she felt flustered, not knowing what she was saying at all.

She could tell that Kuroko also liked Moli, and even Chelsea, Mine, and Hill had feelings for Moli, but her sudden appearance in the picture made Akame feel like a third party.

Chapter 284: The conflict between Mo Li and Chelsea, the final mission is issued.

Anning Road Headquarters, Paradise.

Najenda gazed silently at Esdeath, who sat in the superior position, with Beric's severed head between them.

Susanoo, Brand, Leone, and Sylvanas stood behind Najenda, unaware that Esdeath had already sided with Mori and was ready to fight at any moment.

Black Eyes kept searching for Mo Li's whereabouts, but unfortunately, Mo Li did not come this time.

"Esdeath, it seems we're still a step too late!"

"To dare to brazenly charge in from the front like this, that's not like you at all, Najenda!"

"If I were to remain cautious after learning that the enemy had deployed all their main forces, I would not be worthy of being the leader of the night raid."

"Oh, to hear you say such things, Najenda, I'm quite impressed with you. You weren't like this before. Is it because of Mo Li?"

Najenda, whose thoughts had been exposed, was speechless and didn't know what to say to refute Esdeath.

Seeing this, Esdeath immediately understood Najenda's thoughts. Indeed, only that man could come up with such a daring plan.

Thinking of this, Esdeath couldn't help but smile and pointed to Beric's severed head on the ground.

"He's in your hands now. Remember, Berlik was killed in your night raid; it has nothing to do with us Hunters!"

"I understand, Esdeath, you..."

"Don't overthink it. I did all this for Mo Li's sake, it has nothing to do with your revolutionary army!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a chill instantly filled the entire palace. Najenda knew that Esdeath was serious.

Even she fell for Mo Li. What kind of charm did that man possess? Mysterious is the most fitting word to describe Mo Li.

No one knows where Mo Li came from, nor how strong he really is. He is like the one playing the game, and we are all just pawns in his hands.

Najenda shook her head. Although it was a big no-no for Night Raid to speculate about her companions, she couldn't help but wonder what Mo Li's purpose was. With his strength, he could have easily turned the tide of the battle.

Did he want to be emperor? No, if that were the case, there would be no need for him to join the revolutionary army.

With dissidents among the Hunters eliminated and most members of Night Raid siding with Moli, Najendan dared not think any further, forcibly controlling herself from thinking in a negative direction.

Najenda raised her head and gave Esdeath a deep look. Her woman's intuition told her that Esdeath must know about Mo Li, but getting information from her would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Neither side made a move. Najenda retreated with Susanoo, Leone, and others; Esdeath also prepared to return to the Imperial Capital with Kurome and Will.

It's worth mentioning that Ran returned. During that massive explosion, Ran risked her life to use her Imperial Arm and escaped.

They also brought back news of the deaths of Seryu and the four demons, Rakshasas.

However, this was within Esdeath's expectations. If Moriken let Ran return, it meant that Ran, like Will, had chosen to join the Revolutionary Army.

On the other side, Mo Li, carrying Akame, joined Mine, Chelsea, and the others who had stayed behind.

Because of her shyness, Akame immediately broke free from Mo Li's embrace when she saw Mine, ignoring her own Murasame, and went straight into the tent.

Mine was unaware of what had happened, and why Akame seemed to have changed so much since her return.

Chelsea, on the other hand, glanced at Akame's back and then at Mo Li, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong with Akame?"

"Who knows? Maybe he got injured in the battle and is unhappy!"

"By the way, why didn't you lure the enemy here as planned? You even caused such a commotion. I... Boss and the others are very worried about you!"

Mo Li was taken aback when she heard this, wondering why he had blurted out his true feelings.

He then waved his hand to indicate that he was not injured, stroked Mine's head, and said:

"The plan has changed, and besides, I can handle it on my own. They are no match for me."

"I'm afraid you were planning to deal with them all by yourself from the very beginning, and the voting was just a formality!"

Chelsea saw through Mo Li's plan at a glance and pointed it out directly.

Mo Li spread his hands, not refuting anything, because that was indeed his original plan.

"Oh dear, you've found out. Well, there's nothing I can do about it now!"

"Do you even consider us your comrades? You only think about showing off and don't consider other people's feelings at all. Sooner or later, you will die because of your arrogance!"

Chelsea's words created an awkward silence, and Mine, standing to the side, didn't know how to offer any advice.

After a moment of silence, Mo Li chuckled softly and slowly walked into the tent, leaving behind only one sentence.

"If you have my strength, you should understand the responsibility on your shoulders. And why don't you think that I did this precisely because you were all in my thoughts? Are you confident that you could survive such an explosion?"

Chelsea froze on the spot. Mo Li's gaze just now felt so unfamiliar.

Mine had never seen Mo Li like this before, and the gathering ended unhappily, so she could only step forward to comfort him:

"It's okay, that's just his personality, don't take it to heart."

"I know I was too naive. Mo Li is right. I couldn't have survived such an explosion unscathed on my own."

When Mo Li entered the tent, she happened to see Chi Tong treating her wounds, revealing her originally fair and tender skin.

Seeing this, Akame quickly covered her body with her clothes, her face flushed slightly, and she angrily rebuked:

Why didn't you say anything before coming in?

"I'll heal your wounds. Have you forgotten? My Zafkiel can even restore Najenda's severed arm!"

"Oh right, I forgot. Why didn't you treat me over in the woods? Why did you have to wait until now?"

"Cough cough, such a loud explosion, the city guards will definitely come to check, it's too dangerous!"

After hearing Mo Li's explanation, Chi Tong looked at him suspiciously, feeling that something was not quite right.

To prevent Akame from overthinking, Mo Li simply summoned Zafkiel and pointed the gun at her.

The fourth bullet struck Akame's body head-on. Soon, the wounds on her body gradually healed, and in no time, she was completely recovered, with no trace of injury visible.

"Even though I've seen it many times before, I'm still very curious about how they do it."

"By the way, what about what I told you in the woods last time? Have you thought about it?"

"Um... oh, it seems Boss and the others are back. I'll go check!"

Akame was momentarily at a loss for words, but fortunately, Najenda's voice (of money) rang out from outside. Akame quickly made up an excuse and walked out, avoiding Mo Li's eyes.

Mo Li smiled. Was he really that scary? But judging from Chi Tong's condition, it seemed like there was a chance.

Following Akame's footsteps, Mo Li also stepped out of the tent and happened to meet Najenda and her group who were returning.

“Very good, everyone is here. Berlik is dead, the rebellion in Anning Road can no longer be stopped, and the revolutionary army in the South can also take action.”

“Excellent! I’ve been waiting for this day for far too long. This corrupt empire is finally about to meet its end.”

"The final mission for the night raid is now issued: assassinate Minister Ernest!"

"learn!"

Everyone understood the danger of this mission. They would be facing not only the Internal Security Forces, but also General Budo, the minister's son Shira, and the Supreme Imperial Arms.

The only one who was relatively relaxed was Mo Li. He also felt excited. The plan in his mind was finally about to reach its final step, and now all that was left was the destruction of the empire.

Night Raid and Hunters, I'm taking them all!

Chapter 285 The Plan Begins, Esdeath Backstabs the Empire

A week later, a three-way uprising broke out: Anningdao, Western foreign tribes, and the revolutionary army launched a counterattack against the empire.

Among them, the revolutionary army was the most powerful, and it broke through several border cities in succession. Most of these cities were opened by the governors who had been exiled to the frontier, and they headed straight for the capital.

The Empire, not to be outdone, recalled Esdeath, preparing to first quell the rebellion of the Western barbarians, and then have General Bud and the guards deal with the revolutionary army.

The idea was wonderful, but the ministers and the emperor showed no fear whatsoever. Esdeath's strength was evident to all, and it wouldn't take long to quell the rebellion.

Perhaps Esdeath had already wiped out the Western alien races before the revolutionary army even reached the capital.

Just as the ministers and others were waiting with such thoughts for Esdeath's good news, news that was enough to shake the capital came back from the border.

Esdeath and her army have officially rebelled!

Upon hearing this news, the minister could no longer remain seated. Mo Li alone was already enough of a headache for him, but now with two powerful figures, Esdeath and Mo Li, by his side, the destruction of the capital seemed to be only a matter of time.

Because of Esdeath, the western front completely collapsed, and the rebel army composed of alien races and Esdeath captured many cities in succession, even faster than the revolutionary army.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, Esdeath's reputation was so great that no army dared to fight against her. Most of them surrendered and joined the rebel army.

The only person the ministers and the young emperor could rely on now was General Bude, who guarded the palace.

Fortunately, Bud was extremely loyal to the royal family and was furious about Esdeath's assassination attempt. He immediately promised the emperor that he would personally bring Esdeath to justice.

Knowing that Bud had always looked down on him, the minister, in order to save his own life, pushed his son Sheila to the forefront and formed a new elite force to maintain order in the capital.

The team consists of the original wild hounds, with Sheila as the commander, replacing the original hunters.

Although Will, Lan, and Black Eyes were not imprisoned, their movements were restricted to some extent, and they could no longer come and go freely as before.

Meanwhile, the Night Raid was also actively preparing for battle, waiting for a moment when the capital was vulnerable to launch a fatal blow against the ministers.

"The time for the revolutionary army to arrive in the capital is getting closer and closer. Is everyone ready?"

"Of course, I absolutely have to let that minister taste my iron fist!"

"Speaking of which, Mo Li, it's truly unbelievable that you were able to persuade that super S queen to join us!"

"There are many things you don't know, this is nothing!"

Mo Li shrugged. He was the one who orchestrated Esdeath's betrayal, with the aim of accelerating the empire's destruction. Now, all that's left is for the Revolutionary Army to arrive.

Najenda coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention, and then said: Spirit

"Recently, all our spies hidden inside the palace have lost contact and have probably been wiped out."

"So many people have been exposed, Boss. It seems the ministers have made their move."
