Chapter 397 - 184. Zanku the Beheader

Imperial Capital, late at night, an empty plaza.

"Hahaha, so this is the infamous 'Assassin Sisters' recently rumored to be the most ruthless. Fun, fun!"

"Hehehe, Zanku the Beheader, I'll just call you Ugly Freak. I'm having fun too!"

"Kurome, stop playing around and finish the task the master assigned."

"Okay, okay, I know, sister."

"Damn it! How dare you ignore me!"

Clang clang clang clang!!! Boom boom boom boom!!!

Two black-clad, short-skirted, beautiful-faced girls were fighting a fierce-looking big man. The girls were the sisters Akame and Kurome, and the man was the notorious serial killer Zanku, who possessed the Teigu "Kurome [Observer]" and was the Empire's former specialized executioner.

Because of an assassination contract, Zanku was the sisters' target this time. They had to kill Zanku and bring back the Teigu "Almighty Five Sights [Spectator]" as ordered by Sora.

"Damn, they're so young, yet both sister and younger sister are so strong!"

Zanku's two arms wielding the executioner's broad swords were already at their limit, and he was extremely anxious. Although he could use one of the Five Views of his Teigu— Foresight —to predict their moves, his speed couldn't keep up with their rhythm. He was about to lose to the sisters!

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Take this, Illusion Sight!"

Driven to desperation, Zanku used his last trump card, Illusion Sight, one of the Five Views of his Teigu!

"Hehehe… You're called Kurome, right? If you don't want your sister Akame to die, don't move!"

Zanku placed the executioner's broad sword at the neck of Akame, who suddenly stopped moving with a dazed expression, and grinned fiercely at Kurome.

"You ugly freak, what did you do to sister?"

Frowning slightly, Kurome stopped attacking, her eyes flashing with murderous intent as she asked coldly.

"Hahaha… One of my Teigu's abilities, Illusion Sight! It can only hypnotize one person, but the effect is great."

"See, just like this!"

Seeing that his threat worked, Zanku secretly relaxed and smiled smugly.

"Hey… so this is all the ability you have…"

Without showing much surprise, Kurome-chan instead wore a disdainful smile.

Seeing Kurome like this, Zanku instinctively flinched, a very dangerous feeling rising in his heart. He wanted to dodge quickly, but it was already too late!

Pfft…

The sound of blood spraying echoed continuously in the night sky.

"How is this possible! You, who were hypnotized, should have seen me as your most important person, so how could you attack me…"

Looking at the red eyes that had somehow regained clarity and were now holding a knife stabbing into his chest, the beheaded Zanku was full of shock and disbelief.

"My most important person is right beside me, how could I be deceived by a false illusion?"

With a wave of her arm, wiping the blood off the blade, Akame sheathed the Red Slash sword and said expressionlessly and calmly to Zanku:

"Well, sis, geez, I was just about to have some more fun. It's so rare to have a decent opponent."

Looking at the beheaded Zanku, whose body was covered with cursed runes and losing vitality, beyond saving, Kurome ran over, hugging one of Akame's arms with a face full of complaint.

"Alright, the master said next we will head to the battlefield to meet up with Esdeath. Then the master will take you along, so you can have a proper fight. It's already late, so let's finish the mission quickly and go home."

Taking the Teigu "Almighty Five Sights [Spectator]" from the already dead Zanku, patting Kurome's little head, Akame looked at her sister, whose personality was completely opposite to hers, with a doting expression.

"Hehe, yes! Soon we'll see Lady Esdeath and that bunch of unscrupulous guys again. Kurome is really looking forward to it!"

"Sis, let's hurry back."

Seemingly recalling something, Kurome also showed a happy and expectant expression, already eager to pull Akame and rush home.

Akame shook her head helplessly, taking Kurome with her, and with a few leaps, they disappeared into the night.

The surroundings returned to silence as if nothing had happened, only the cold corpse and the bloodstains on the ground still telling the story of what had occurred here…

"Sayo, come here."

While playing with the super Teigu "Almighty Five Sights [Spectator]" that he had modified himself, Sora called out to Sayo behind him.

"Yes, master."

Stopping her hand from massaging, the girl obediently walked forward and voluntarily leaned into Sora's embrace.

"Don't move. This is a little gift for Sayo-chan."

With a satisfied smile, Sora pressed the super Teigu onto the girl's forehead while giving her an order.

Sayo was skilled with a bow and arrow. After days of Sora's personal training and even transferring some of his own power to help Sayo grow quickly, the girl could now easily shoot energy arrows. With the abilities of this modified super Teigu "Almighty Five Sights [Spectator]," Sayo's combat power would surely skyrocket!

Feeling something merging into her body, Sayo did not resist at all, letting Sora work on her.

Soon, the super Teigu fully integrated into Sayo's body. Sora stopped his actions, a strange smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"The Almighty Five Sights [Spectator] is a Teigu with five abilities: Insight, Farsight, Clearsight, Foresight, and Illusion Sight. It can see through hearts, observe distant places, penetrate obstacles, see the future, and cast illusions. After my modification, these abilities have been multiplied many times over. Even the illusions can be cast on multiple people simultaneously."

"Moreover, these abilities will grow stronger as you grow!"

"With the powers of the [Spectator], your arrows can hit any target, no matter where they hide or how far they run!"

"So, Sayo, how do you like the power of this Teigu?"

Lifting the girl's face, Sora asked with a mischievous smile.

"Thank you, master!"

Deeply aware of how powerful these abilities were for her, Sayo was extremely moved. She stood up, knelt on one knee, and respectfully saluted Sora.

"Now, my cute little maid, let's test its power! Use the insight ability to see what your master is thinking right now."

Helping the girl up, Sora's lips curved into an evil smile.

"Yes, master."

Following Sora's command, the girl's originally smooth and fair forehead suddenly cracked open, revealing a third vertical eye. This third eye did not ruin her beauty but added a strange, sinister aura!

The third eye shimmered, and Sayo began to activate its power. After a moment, a blush appeared on her face, and shyly, she stepped forward and kissed Sora.

"Oops, looks like I accidentally created a 'Second Son God' princess! Should Sayo also raise a Howling Heaven Dog like Seryu in the future…"

Thinking this mischievously, Sora continued to savor the girl's sweetness…
