In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

Seeing Riva's reaction, Gozchi nodded repeatedly. He was the captain of an elite assassination squad, his skills far surpassing most in the army, yet even so, he could still feel a pressure emanating from this man…

If I were to fight this man, I'm afraid I might die accidentally.

"Let me introduce you. This is my adjutant, Brand, and he recently acquired the powerful Imperial Arms, 'Demon Possession'!"

Kerritsu & Heather / Akame ga Kill!: Chapter 68 Heather's Angry

"Huh? What's going on?"

Heather, leading the Thousand Rock Army, originally planned to continue advancing south, but in an instant, she received news from Krydera... one of the Golden Ones had been confirmed dead!

This news immediately caught Crydella's attention. After all, this was a Golden Child created by Crydella. Did she not know what abilities it had?

Killing a Golden Descendant is no easy task, as their physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, and ordinary weapons simply cannot penetrate their defenses.

Therefore, the death of a Golden Clan member can only be due to one of the following circumstances…

Poisoning.

A special Imperial Arms with unique abilities.

A powerful creature similar to a super-dangerous species.

Upon receiving this message, Heather immediately rushed towards the Goldenborn. Even though it might be an enemy trap, Heather had to go and find out the truth.

If this problem isn't solved, even more Golden Descendants will die in the future!

Even if it's dangerous, Hazel has to go. Besides, with her strength, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to deal with her.

"From now on, please stay and stay in this city."

"I'll handle things over there myself!"

For Hazel, who possesses exceptional individual strength, taking anyone with her would be a burden. Not only would they not be of any help, but they might even distract her. So she simply left the entire Thousand Rock Army in one city to prevent those who killed the Golden Descendants from using them as a diversion.

Soon, Heather arrived at her destination.

But after seeing the city where the Golden Clan had been attacked, her expression changed visibly.

"A massacre of the entire city...?"

It's obvious who did this without even thinking—it must be those scumbags from the Empire!

"Are you trying to provoke me so I can launch a sneak attack later in the battle?"

Hathaway already knew that even if Krydera shared her golden blood, she couldn't possibly take care of everyone, and some people would still die as a result.

Even so, she still tried her best to minimize casualties in order to build her Northern Empire into a better one.

The battle against the super-dangerous species proved this; Crydela and Heather almost completely saved all the Golden Bloods, with none dying in the battle.

But now, the bloody reality is right in front of us: even the Golden Descendants can die!

"Sigh, as expected of the world of Kill la Kill! People die so easily..."

"But don't worry, I will avenge you!"

After a sigh of regret, Heather's eyes sharpened completely.

"Whoever slaughtered this city, I will make you pay the price, I swear in the name of the Sword Banner Lord!"

Ding--!

The siren's ultrasonic waves shot forward at that moment, and Heather used the sound waves as radar to probe the dead city in front of her.

There was no one on the street.

The residential area was deserted.

There is only one place with people, and that is the city's central square!

Is the trap there?

Although the situation there is unclear, the enemy must have taken a lot of hostages to prevent themselves from being taken away on a large scale.

Heather could sense from the sounds in the distance that some people were very afraid, which was completely different from the coldness of the other group.

They must be rescued!

However, before Heather could make a move, a voice came from afar, immediately causing the situation to deteriorate rapidly.

"Get to the center square step by step. If they dare to try anything funny, I'll cut off their heads right now!"

It was the voice of a middle-aged man, clearly the leader of the Empire's operation, or at the very least a squad leader.

And...it definitely has Imperial Arms!

The abilities of Imperial Arms are incredibly diverse, and even Hazel couldn't remember them all; she only knew the ones used by the main characters and the villains.

Clearly, the other party had prepared a trap and was waiting for Hathaway to come to their door!

"I understand. Please don't hurt those innocent people. I will do as you say."

The Northern Kingdom has always enjoyed a good reputation internationally. While Kerudela is somewhat autocratic, she genuinely treats the people of the Northern Kingdom well. The other side knows this, which is why they are using the residents as leverage…

To prevent her hard-won reputation from being tarnished, Hathaway must do everything in her power to ensure the safety of the hostages. But this also means that she will be led by the nose by others.

The journey was not long; at Hazel's speed, she soon arrived at the town's central square and encountered the imperial army that had threatened her.

This is... Leva and Brand?

As one of the main characters in the original work, Hazel quickly recognized their identities, but she never expected that they would be the ones to carry out this operation.

"Water Dragon Possession" and "Demon Possession"... Did they actually obtain the Imperial Arms ahead of schedule? It seems that this world has indeed undergone tremendous changes because of my arrival.

Even with these two Imperial Arms, it would still be difficult to kill a Gold Saint... It seems there are others around whom I don't know about!

"Did you carry out the massacre of the city?"

Although he is a character from the original work, Hu Cheng's behavior did make Hazel very unhappy and caused her to experience intense emotional fluctuations.

In Onpharos, the Siren's kingdom was completely destroyed by the Black Tide, and the scene of the massacre before her immediately reminded Hathaway of her former homeland...

Moreover, after scanning her surroundings, she quickly locked onto several directions. Among those seemingly deserted buildings, there were definitely assassins from the Empire hiding!

“Of course!” Liva stepped forward, his expression unchanged. “When dealing with enemies, one must naturally use the most ruthless methods!”

"We are soldiers of the Empire, and even if we have to resort to despicable methods, we will bring victory to the Empire!"

"The Northern Kingdom is very strong. Even General Bude was defeated by you. We are no match for General Bude. If we want to win, we can only use this method. I believe you won't mind, will you?"

The current Liva is clearly unaware of the darkness of imperial politics, nor has he been framed as he will be in the future, so he is still on the side of the empire.

Although Brand didn't speak, he gripped his spear tightly, always on guard against Heather's movements.

"Of course not! Anyone who pins their hopes on whether the enemy will make a mistake is a fool!"

"The North can tolerate mistakes, but it will never allow such a fool to hold a high position!"

"However, your massacre of the city has truly displeased me... As expected, the Empire is as trash as the rumors say, even worse than the Black Tide!"

Insulting the Empire directly in front of an Imperial general would easily provoke the other party's hatred, but Riva did not show any emotion; instead, his expression became even more serious.

Such people generally possess a strong spirit and will not allow external interference to affect their judgment.

"Are you trying to provoke me with your words in order to rescue these hostages? Give up, your only future is to die here!"

"Water Dragon Possession" unleashed its power at this moment, and translucent water flowed around Riva, ready to launch an attack at any time.

"No!"

Hathaway's eyes narrowed slightly, and the blue seawater surged around her, as if surrounding an empress.

"You are the ones who will sink into the silent depths of the sea!"

Hazel was truly angry. So what if she was a main character in the original work? Even though she was now on my opposite side, she had done something unforgivable…

Then don't blame Hazel for getting serious!

Keli & Heather / Akame ga Kill!: Chapter 69 Touching the Boundaries of the Law... (Major Revision)

"Black Marlin! Let me show you the power of water!"

"Water Dragon Possession: Black Marin" unleashed the power of her Imperial Arm at this moment, which is to manipulate water that she has come into contact with, and most fluids as well.

The reason Liva chose to fight in the city’s central square was because there was a fountain in the square with plenty of “water” that he could use.

Only in a watery environment can Black Marlin unleash its full power, gracefully annihilating its enemies.

However, a hint of disdain flashed in Hazel's eyes as she watched the water rushing towards her...

What kind of water are you? You dare to attack me?

I am the demigod of the ocean, and the master of the sea. All the waters in the world should obey my commands, but you are using them to attack me?

Faced with these water attacks, Hazel didn't even try to dodge, remaining rooted to the spot and letting Riva manipulate the water to attack.

"Insanity!"

Hazel's attitude directly angered Riva, who then began to control more water to attack her.

However, what happened next shocked Liva to his core, and even made the rats hiding in the shadows stare wide-eyed in disbelief.

Liva's control over the water stream had even split into more than a dozen streams, which could severely injure an opponent at an extremely fast speed as long as a wound was left on their body.

However, such a scene could never happen to Hazel.

Every time a stream of water was about to hit Heather, it would suddenly change its direction of attack, so that it would just pass by her without even leaving a scratch.

"Why, Blackmarin? Why won't you obey my orders?"

Rival was already somewhat panicked at this point, as this was the first time such a situation had occurred since he obtained the Imperial Arm.

In previous training and battles, Black Horselin could easily pierce through the bodies of his opponents, and even the stronger Dangerous Beasts could only perish on the spot.

But when faced with the woman in front of him, Black Horse completely lost control and could not hit her no matter what he did.

"Of course, it's because I also possess the power to control water... and it's stronger than the ring you have!"

Heather's calm voice announced the answer: even if General Bianwa was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to face this reality.

Liva manipulates water using tools, but Hazel controls it directly through her ocean powers, making her far more efficient.

"So these are your attacks? Then here they are, yours for the taking!"

Looking at the water flowing around her with some displeasure, Hazel showed a rare expression of disgust and casually waved her hand at Liva.

The water flow, which had been under Black Marin's control, immediately changed its direction of attack and rushed towards Liva and the hostage, as if it intended to completely annihilate them.

not good!

If I take that attack head-on, I'll die!

Liva made a decision immediately, but his body couldn't react in time. He couldn't even use the hostages as shields and could only watch helplessly as it all happened.

At this critical moment, a silver-white figure wielding a gun suddenly appeared in front of Liva and used his power to disperse the water flow.

The newcomer was none other than Brand. She had been observing Heather's movements since earlier, trying to see how the other party would attack and whether she possessed any Imperial Arms.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of Heather being carrying a Teigu. She even remained stationary, so as a result, Brand couldn't see anything and could only stay close to her attacks.

It was precisely this approach that allowed Brand to react quickly enough and stand in front of his superior at a critical moment.

The water flow was naturally blocked by Brand.

However, as a consequence, Brand's hands, which were holding the gun, trembled uncontrollably, as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow.

Good weight!

Brand was equally shocked by the onslaught of the water.

When he and Rival first acquired their Imperial Arms, they naturally had a lot of time to spar with each other and knew exactly how strong the other was.

However, the water flow controlled by Liva has never been so powerful, not even a tenth of the power of Heather's!

This is outrageous, but on second thought, it doesn't seem to make a problem. The fact that the other party dared to come here alone is enough to show their confidence in their own strength.

"You blocked it? Although it was Liva's water flow, your strength is still passable... However, I will accept the hostage."

Since Brand and Leva are temporarily restrained by the water, there is no need for Heather to spend more time on them. The most important thing is to get the hostages out of there.

The people of the Northern Kingdom, even if they make mistakes, can only be punished by the Queen's laws, not killed by people from other countries!
