Chapter 75 The Omnipotent Five Perspectives: The Observer

"To behead Zank, is that the mission objective?"

During the night raid on the stronghold, Najenda, smoking a cigarette, solemnly revealed their assassination target.

The founding emperor of the empire created forty-eight Imperial Arms more than a thousand years ago and completed the expansion of the territory.

However, during the war more than 500 years ago, half of the Imperial Arms were lost outside the Empire, and during this period, the Imperial Arms users also discovered an ironclad rule.

That's because although Imperial Arms are powerful, if two Imperial Arms users with murderous intent fight each other, one of them will inevitably die.

In the past, the targets of night raids were mostly nobles and corrupt officials in the capital, and sometimes some local thugs.

But this time the situation is a little different. The one who beheaded Zank is no ordinary person.

Instead, he was a beheader who specialized in carrying out executions for the empire. He developed a habit of killing people every day and gradually became dissatisfied with killing only in prison. Instead, he began to wantonly slaughter innocent people in the streets.

Of course, if he were just an ordinary serial killer, that would be one thing, since they've dealt with quite a few such characters in night raids.

However, according to Lacia's information, the beheaded Zank was also a user of Teigu.

In other words, once they face off against the night raiders in a life-or-death struggle, it will be a fight to the death.

Due to this ironclad rule among Teigu users, Najenda ordered the squad members in the night raid to operate in pairs for this mission.

Since death is inevitable when Imperial Arms users with murderous intent fight, the side with more people will always have a greater chance of winning in a two-on-one situation.

Considering that Yang Cheng was the strongest overall among the Night Raid members, while Tatsumi was a newcomer to Night Raid and not a Teigu user, the two formed a partnership to carry out this mission.

In the dead of night, on the streets of the capital, a man carrying two long swords in his hands and muttering "pleasure" walked along the street, his feet stained with blood.

The two headless corpses lying at his feet were actually members of the Imperial Capital Garrison.

Zank, obsessed with killing, no longer has a clear stance; he is now an utterly pure killer.

Whether the target is an ordinary person or a soldier of the empire, as long as it brings him pleasure, he will choose to strike without hesitation.

However, due to his recent active night raids and continuous massacres, the streets of the capital have become unusually deserted late at night.

Without targets to kill, "Happy Guy" could no longer satisfy his killing urges and naturally stopped feeling happy.

The residents of the capital began to stay indoors. It wouldn't be unreasonable to simply break into their homes and massacre them, but Zank thought that would be a huge waste of time.

So after some thought, Zank the Decapitator came up with a place where he could have his fill of pleasure.

And this place is the slums of the capital!

Compared to the bustling city center, although they are not far apart, the slums and the city center are like two different worlds.

People in the heart of the capital are dressed in fine clothes and live extravagantly, while people in the slums are starving and many sleep on the streets.

Human life here is cheaper than grass, and no one cares how many people die every day.

People in the capital's residential areas have the right to stay indoors, but people in the slums don't even have doors; most of them sleep on the ground all day long and have no home at all.

And this place, Zank believes, is undoubtedly the most suitable place for him to enjoy pleasure.

No matter how many people die in the slums, no one will care, so he can slaughter them with impunity.

Whether the targets of the slaughter were commoners or nobles, it made no difference to Zank; all he enjoyed was the act of killing itself.

With a cruel expression, Zank lifted a child from the slums of Yishanlou with one hand, and was about to raise his longsword to behead the child when the Imperial Arm on his forehead, which resembled a green eyeball, saw through the child's inner thoughts.

"Interesting. I didn't expect that there would still be people in this capital city who have been helping you poor kids from the slums."

Unfortunately, the person you're thinking of won't come to save you.

However, as a "merciful" executioner, I can allow you to see the people you wish to see before you die.

With their faces, they will kill you without a scratch!

As he spoke, Zank the Decapitator revealed a cruel smile, and in the eyes of the child he was lifting with one hand, his image slowly transformed into that of Leone.

The Imperial Arm "Five Visions Omnipotent Observer" is a headband-shaped Imperial Arm with an eye made of Ohari steel in the center of its forehead. It possesses five abilities: clasp vision, farsightedness, X-ray vision, precognitive vision, and hallucination vision.

As for the decapitated Zank, he had just used "Insight" to see through the child's inner thoughts and used "Vision" to make the child see the person he most wanted to see.

Seeing that Leone, who had always been very kind to them, now had a cruel expression on her face and raised her long sword, ready to kill them, the little boy's face also showed a look of utter despair.

But just as the sword that was about to behead Zank was about to fall on the little boy's neck, a figure appeared in front of Zank without warning and caught the sword that Zank was swinging with his bare hands.

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Zank the Decapitator looked bewildered.

Despite his considerable martial arts skills, he didn't see how Yang Cheng had appeared. Just as he instinctively wanted to retaliate, the Imperial Arm "Five Visions" on his forehead suddenly flashed with light.

At the very moment "Five Perspectives Omnipotence" flashed, Zanke, who had originally intended to retaliate against Yang Cheng, almost instantly released the slum brat in his hand and quickly retreated.

Almost at the same moment that Zank withdrew after beheading him, a cold light suddenly burst forth where he had just stood. Although the slash missed, it left a deep trench several meters deep in the ground.

Looking at the trenches left on the ground, Zank, who had just dodged the decapitation, now had a look of lingering fear on his face.

"I see. So this is the power of the Imperial Arms you possess?"

Yang Cheng, who had caught the falling boy with one hand and was holding a sword in one hand, looked at the decapitated Zank in front of him with a relaxed expression as he looked at the Imperial Arm on his forehead and spoke.

As Yang Cheng looked at the Teigu on the forehead of the decapitated Zank, the decapitated Zank was also sizing up Yang Cheng in front of him.

The man in front of him was someone he had just seen in the mind of that kid from the slums. The man seemed to be the second best person in his mind, second only to that big-breasted woman.

Zank, the decapitator, never expected that the man who appeared in that brat's heart would be such a formidable figure.

If it weren't for his "omnipotent" future vision ability, his best outcome would have been losing an arm.
