Ibara, who was fighting the Undead, felt something was wrong and pulled away.
Bang!
As the smoke dissipated, Numa, holding a spear, appeared there.
Ibara looked at Numa in front of him and recognized who he was.
The Prince of the Northern Tribes.
He didn't expect him to still be alive now.
Did Esdeath miss? Or did she betray them?
Ibara asked in confusion, "What did you do to Esdeath?"
Numa ignored him and charged with his spear. The King's order to him was to kill the guy in front of him.
Ibara quickly dodged Numa's spear by shifting his body, and at the same time, threw a punch.
Numa nimbly leaped backward, dodging Ibara's punch, and with a flick, the spearhead struck towards Ibara's throat.
Ibara tilted his head and simultaneously reached out to grab the spear shaft, attempting to drag Numa over.
The two held tightly to the spear and began to wrestle.
Ibara said, his face filled with madness, "Let me kill you!"
Numa didn't care about Ibara's words, he was already a dead man.
He abandoned the spear, kicking the spear's tail. Ibara dodged the attack in an extremely strange posture. After all, he could control his entire body at will.
After the spear was shot, Numa also charged forward.
While Ibara and Numa were fighting.
Run's location.
Champ looked at Run flying in the sky with dissatisfaction. Run had interrupted his act of making children into "angels" forever.
Run looked at Champ, his face filled with anger. The dead children on the ground reminded him of his students.
Champ looked at Run in the sky, feeling somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Champ!"
"Do you know me?"
Run's eyes were cold as he said, "Of course I know you. I've been looking for you for a long time."
Champ was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to have any grudge with him, and he had never met him before.
Run looked at the confused Champ, his anger growing even more intense.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you still remember the town next to Joyou! So many of my students were killed by you!"
Champ understood that the person in front of him had come for revenge.
The corners of his clown face turned up. "I killed many people there. Which ones are you talking about?"
Run covered his face and laughed up to the sky after hearing that.
This guy... this guy actually doesn't remember!
After Run calmed down a bit, he asked, "Why did you kill these children?"
Champ said as a matter of course, "Of course, it's to prevent these little angels from becoming dirty adults later on."
"Look, isn't it good to let them stay at this carefree age?"
Run was furious. "Your so-called 'letting them stay at a carefree age' is nothing more than using the most cruel means to deprive them of their future rights and to satisfy your perverted desires. They have their own choices, their own paths."
Champ said disdainfully, "What do you know? When they grow up, they will become greedy and hypocritical. Instead of letting them become like that, it's better to fix them at their purest time now."
"Unreasonable!"
Run no longer argued with him, his eyes becoming cold.
Feathers floated all over the sky.
"To avenge my students! And also to prevent you from harming more children, today I will kill you here!"
Seeing this, Champ took a fighting stance. His clown face even showed an excited expression, and six balls floated around him.
This was his Teigu—Chaos Throw: Big Leaguer!
Each orb represented a different attribute. As long as it was thrown, the corresponding attribute could be released.
Run decisively shot out feathers, and Champ likewise threw the orb in his hand towards him.
...
Esdeath's location.
The atmosphere was a bit tense at the moment.
Najenda held the summoner that could summon the humanoid Teigu—Susanoo, while Leone stared intently at Esdeath, ready to fight at any moment.
Akame looked at Kurome, a shocked expression appearing on her normally unperturbed face. She didn't expect to encounter her sister here.
Looking at the somewhat agitated Night Raid members, Esdeath smiled. "Long time no see, Najenda. Shall we sit down and chat?"
Najenda stared at Esdeath in front of her. Her former Empire clothes had been replaced by the Northern Tribes' exclusive attire. It seemed Esdeath had joined the North.
Looking at the wary Najenda, Esdeath continued, "Do you think the three of you can defeat me?"
Hearing Esdeath's words, Najenda sighed. Her words were not wrong. The three of them indeed couldn't defeat her, and there was also Kurome next to her.
Najenda knew about Kurome's Teigu. If it really came to a fight, it wouldn't be a simple three-on-two, but a three-on-ten.
"Akame, Leone, you two step back first. I'll talk to her."
"Boss!"
Akame and Leone looked at her, expressions of confusion on their faces.
Even if they couldn't win, they could still run, right?
Najenda shook her head, then looked at Esdeath. "Lead the way, Esdeath."
"Let's go."
Soon, the group arrived at a restaurant amd everyone sat in a private room.
Najenda and Esdeath looked at each other.
Akame looked at her sister, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it.
This made Leone feel like a third wheel. She simply didn't care anymore and took out some liquor, starting a drinking session.
Najenda looked at Esdeath. If her guess was correct, then the actions concerning the Empire would all go smoothly.
Shw asked, "Esdeath, have you left the Empire?"
Esdeath smiled. "That's right, I have joined the North."
Najenda asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because my Master defeated me and conquered me."
"What!"
