Chapter 178 Battle, Conversation
Thorn, who was fighting the undead soldiers, sensed something was wrong and instantly created distance.
A loud bang was heard the next second.
As the smoke cleared, Numa appeared there, wielding a long spear.
Thorn looked at Numa in front of him and recognized who the guy was.
The prince of the North.
I didn't expect him to still be alive.
Did Esdeath fail?
Or perhaps Esdeath betrayed them.
Thorn asked疑惑地问道, "Hey, what did you guys do to Esdeath?"
Numa ignored him and charged forward with his spear.
The king's order to him was to kill the guy in front of him.
Thorn quickly sidestepped Numa's spear, while simultaneously throwing a punch at Numa.
After all, the body is Thorn's most powerful weapon.
Numa nimbly leaped backward, dodging Thorn's fist, and with a flick of his spear, the tip pierced Thorn's throat like a viper's tongue.
As the thorn tip tilted, he simultaneously reached out and grabbed the gun barrel, pulling hard in an attempt to drag Numa over.
The two gripped the spear tightly and began to wrestle.
"You're really powerful. No wonder you're the prince of the North. I'm suddenly starting to like you."
Thorn, his face contorted with madness, declared, "Let me kill you!"
Numa didn't care about what Thorn said; he was a dead man after all.
Numa threw away his spear and then kicked the butt of it.
The spear shot towards Thorn like an arrow, but Thorn dodged the attack in an extremely strange manner.
After all, he can control his entire body at will.
Numa also charged forward after firing his spear.
A fierce battle erupted between the undead warriors of the North and the leader of the four demons of the Empire.
During the battle between Thorn and Numa.
The location of the orchid.
Champus looked at Lan flying in the sky with displeasure, believing that Lan was interfering with his plan to make the child a little "angel" forever.
Lan looked at Shangpu, her anger hardening.
He looked at the dead child on the ground, which reminded him of his students.
Shangpu looked at the blue sky and felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
But... now this guy is actually hindering my hobby, which is really annoying.
"Shangpu?"
Do you know me?
Lan's eyes were icy, and her voice was low as she said, "Of course I know you! I've been looking for you for ages!"
Hearing Lan's words, Shangpu was stunned for a moment.
I don't think I have any past conflicts with him, and I've never even met him before.
Lan looked at the bewildered Shangpu and her anger intensified.
He asked through gritted teeth, "Do you still remember the village near the Ru kiln in the central part of the empire?"
So many children!
So many children were killed by you!
Hearing Lan's words, Shangpu realized that the person in front of him had come seeking revenge.
His clown-like face smirked: "I killed many people there. Which one are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Lan covered her face and laughed loudly.
This guy... this guy doesn't even remember!
Fine, I'll make you go down and atone for your sins then.
After calming down a bit, Lan asked, "Why kill these children?!"
Hearing Lan's words, Shangpu replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's to prevent these little angels from growing up to be dirty adults."
"Look, isn't it wonderful to let the little angels stay at this carefree age?"
What twisted logic!
Lan laughed angrily, "What twisted logic you have!"
Your so-called "keeping them in a carefree age" is nothing more than using the cruelest means to deprive them of their right to the future and to satisfy your own perverted desires.
They're still children!
They could have had their own lives!
They have their own choices, their own paths, and they shouldn't have their lives ended by you at will!
Shangpu curled his lip and said disdainfully, "What do you know? They'll become greedy, selfish, and hypocritical when they grow up. Rather than letting them become like that, it's better to freeze them in their most innocent state now."
"Incomprehensible!"
Lan stopped arguing with him and her eyes became firm and cold.
Feathers floated in the sky.
"To avenge the students! And to prevent you from harming any more children, I will kill you right here today!!"
Seeing this, Shangpu also adopted a fighting stance.
The clown's face still wore an excited expression, and six balls floated around Champo.
This is his Imperial Arm - Quick Throw [Big Pitcher].
Each ball represents a different attribute.
Once it is thrown, the corresponding attribute will be released.
Lan decisively shot out the feather, and Champoll also threw the ball in his hand towards him.
The battle broke out immediately.
... ... ... ...
Esdeath's location during the battle between Ran and Numa.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber at this moment.
Najenda and Esdeath looked at each other.
Najenda held a summoning device in her hand that could summon the humanoid Teigu—Susanoo—while Leone stared intently at Esdeath, ready to fight at any moment.
Akame looked at Kurome, her usually calm face showing shock. She hadn't expected to run into her sister here.
Seeing the somewhat flustered Night Raid members, Esdeath smiled: "Long time no see, Najenda. Shall we sit down and chat?"
Najenda stared at Esdeath before her, whose former imperial clothes had been replaced with attire exclusive to the Northern Kingdom.
It seems Esdeath has joined the Northern Kingdom.
She desperately wanted to see something in Esdeath's eyes.
Seeing Najenda's wary expression, Esdeath continued, "Do you think the three of you can defeat me?"
Najenda sighed as she listened to Esdeath's words.
She wasn't wrong; the three of them really couldn't beat her, especially with Black Eyes by their side.
Najenda, with her black eyes, knew about the Teigu.
If it really comes down to a fight, it won't be a simple three against two, but three against ten.
"Akame, Leone, you two step back first. I want to talk to her."
"BOSS!"
Akame and Leone looked at their boss with puzzled expressions.
Even if I can't win, I can still run away, right?
Najenda simply shook her head, then looked at Esdeath.
"Lead the way, Esdeath."
"Let's go."
Soon the group arrived at a restaurant.
The group sat inside the private room.
Najenda and Esdeath looked at each other in bewilderment.
Akame looked at her younger sister, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it.
This also made Leone feel like a third wheel.
He decided to ignore it and started drinking.
Najenda looked at Esdeath, thinking that if her guess was correct, then all the actions concerning the Empire would proceed smoothly.
So Najenda asked, "Esdeath, you've left the Empire?"
Esdeath smiled gently. "That's right, I have joined the Northern Kingdom."
Najenda asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Because my master defeated me and conquered me."
"What?!"
