"Akame, Taeko, after we leave, I'm counting on you to take care of things at home."
In the courtyard, looking at Akame and the others standing aside to see them off, Sora instructed.
"Yes, Master. We'll also take care of the others."
Nodding, Akame replied seriously.
"Especially those two bratty girls, Mine and Natalia. Make sure to keep a close eye on them."
"Uh, and also that rogue girl Leone."
Looking at Mine and Natalia happily waving their little hands with little Logue, and recalling where Leone might be off causing trouble again, Sora added with a helpless expression.
"Hahaha, big bad guy, hurry up and leave! Hurry up! We'll be good, we promise!"
The big bad guy was leaving again, and Mine and Natalia were so happy to be free!
However, although they appeared obedient on the surface, deep down these two tsundere young ladies were thinking:
"Hmph, once this big bad guy who suppresses us is gone, just wait and see how we turn the world upside down!"
"Master, those two are a bit difficult to handle."
Glancing at Mine and Natalia, Akame turned back with an honest expression.
"Hey… if they dare to cause trouble, just kill them!"
A sinister smile curled at the corner of Sora's mouth as he said fiercely.
"Oh, got it!"
Akame nodded, and Akame-chan looked like she understood perfectly.
"Damn Akame, don't just agree to things so casually!!!"
Almost driven mad by Akame's cuteness, the two tsundere young ladies, Mine and Natalia, stood there shouting loudly.
"Alright, girls, guard the house well. We'll be back in a few days."
Not bothering with those two rebellious girls, Sora waved to the women and nodded at Kurome standing nearby.
"Hehehe, come out, my familiar!"
Bouncing over, Kurome forcefully stabbed her super Teigu, the March of the Dead [Yatsufusa], into the ground. With a rumbling shake, a huge dragon-shaped super Danger Beasts appeared before everyone.
It was a giant lizard dragon with two wings on its back, capable of shooting massive fireballs. It was one of Kurome's puppets.
So far, Kurome's Yatsufusa already contained three super Danger Beasts puppets. One was the Titan Giant Ape Sora had given her, another was this two-winged fire-breathing dragon, and the third was the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon, a super Danger Beasts Sora had specially hunted over a year ago in the Eastern Sea Cloud Region for Kurome!
This divine dragon, living above the sea clouds, had the powerful ability to control both hurricanes and torrential rain. Compared to other super Danger Beasts, it was incomparably stronger. Even the Titan Giant Ape and the two-winged fire dragon combined were no match for this divine dragon!
Sora had put in a lot of effort to hunt it down, partly to get a powerful puppet familiar for Kurome, and partly to obtain its tough hair called the "Realm Cutting," which was used to make a special silk Teigu, the Infinite Uses [Cross Tail]. Now all the threads controlled by this Teigu had been replaced with "Realm Cutting" threads, making it many times stronger than when Lubbock used it before!
Seeing that Kurome had summoned the two-winged fire dragon, Sora, along with Aria and Sayo, jumped onto the dragon's back together with Kurome and Seryu. Under Kurome's control, the dragon flapped its huge wings and soared into the sky with a few powerful beats.
Seryu, Kurome, and Aria, the three witches, were naturally going to be trained by Esdeath. Sayo was Sora's personal maid, so naturally, wherever Sora went, she followed.
Waving goodbye to the women at home below, the two-winged fire dragon flapped its massive wings and flew north toward the border battlefield…
…
North Border, Battlefield
"Charge! Kill these monsters and avenge our people!"
"Don't retreat, advance! Advance!"
"They're almost done for, drag them down!!!"
…
The battlefield was filled with the sounds of killing and bloodshed, with a massive army of 100,000 alien soldiers densely spread everywhere. Their enemy? Only 60 stunningly beautiful girls dressed in uniforms and wielding Western-style longswords!
Ironically, despite being outnumbered more than 10,000 to 1, the 100,000 alien soldiers were being slaughtered mercilessly by these 60 demon-like girls, screaming and fleeing in chaos! No matter how brave or fearless they were, every wave that charged was quickly cut down by the swords of these female fiends!
Unlike the soldiers' expressions of hatred, fear, or anger, these girls all wore bloodthirsty and cruel smiles, their faces full of enjoyment.
They continuously flashed their beautiful and captivating figures across the battlefield, with one blood-red flower blooming after another around them, as if performing one exquisite dance after another.
However, no matter how beautiful their faces or graceful their movements, none of them had the leisure to appreciate it. Their constantly swinging longswords reaped life like harvesting wheat, bringing not beauty or gentleness, but cold-blooded cruelty!
"Lady Esdeath, aren't you going to join the fun today?"
Riding a white horse, Suzuka and Mez, two former members of the Four Rakshasa Demons, guarded Esdeath on either side, killing the alien soldiers charging at them. Suzuka asked curiously.
"There seem to be a lot of prey today. Let those girls have some fun first."
"Besides, I have a feeling that my dear will be arriving soon."
Enjoying the atmosphere of this brutal battle, Esdeath's ice-blue eyes sparkled with a sinister smile as she said thoughtfully.
Activating her ability, Esdeath drew her Western longsword and swung it casually. Instantly, an ice-blue energy wave shot out, cutting thousands of alien soldiers surrounding the three of them into icy shards!
"Master is coming too?"
Suzuka and Mez exchanged a glance, both showing a strange look. But neither doubted Esdeath's intuition, especially Suzuka, whose masochistic admiration for Esdeath was blind and absolute!
As if to confirm Esdeath's prediction, a black dot appeared on the distant horizon.
"Roar!!!"
A huge dragon roar swept across the battlefield, causing both the guarding girls and alien soldiers to pause briefly.
Looking up, they saw a black shadow rapidly approaching from afar, and in the blink of an eye, it was above the battlefield!
Focusing, the alien soldiers all changed color because the flying shadow was a gigantic super Danger Beasts two-winged fire dragon!!!
"Roar!!!"
Another mighty roar, the fire dragon howled skyward, and a huge fireball formed and compressed in its huge, fierce mouth. Under the endless terror of the alien army below, it directly unleashed the fireball!
Boom!!!
A deafening explosion, like a fiery red meteor, the massive fireball struck the center of the battlefield with overwhelming force. The scorching flames radiated outward, turning everything in its path to ashes…
When the dust settled, besides the thousands of alien soldiers completely wiped from this world, the only thing left was a giant crater hundreds of feet wide…
