Chương 78: Yang Cheng: Hill, you almost got stabbed!

After dealing with the decapitated Zank and recovering the Imperial Arm "Five Visions," Yosei and his companion, having completed their mission, were originally planning to return to their base.

But on their way back, a beam of orange-yellow light swept across the sky.

As companions of "Night Raid," Yang Cheng and Tatsumi immediately recognized that this was an attack from Mine's Teigu "Romantic Turret."

Moreover, judging from the size of the beam of light shooting into the sky, Mine and the others are clearly still in considerable danger.

"Romantic Turret Pumpkin" is a gun-shaped Imperial Arms. Its previous user was Najenda, the current leader of Night Raid.

"Romantic Turret" is an Imperial Arm that is extremely difficult to control. The power it can unleash depends on whether the Imperial Arm user is in a dangerous situation.

Crisis is power! In other words, the more dangerous the user's situation, the stronger the power of the "Romantic Turret" will be!

The more reckless the user, the stronger this Imperial Arm becomes.

However, it is quite difficult to be reckless without dying, which is why it is said that this is the most difficult Teigu to control.

"Tatsumi, you take the recovered Teigu back to the base first. I'll go check on Mine and the others."

The night raid involved two small teams to assassinate and behead Zank.

Yang Cheng and his team were on one side, while the other team consisted of Mine and Hill.

After all, the capital city is neither too big nor too small. Although everyone knows that the decapitated Zank will be active on the streets of the capital at night, no one knows where he will appear in the capital.

Therefore, to prevent more people from dying at the hands of the enemy, Najenda ordered the two night raid teams to search separately.

Now that Zank, the decapitator, has been eliminated by their side, Mine's group should have returned empty-handed.

But now that they've gotten into a fight, it means they've been discovered by others.

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Tatsumi originally wanted to say that he also wanted to go along.

But Yang Cheng bluntly stated, "With your current injuries, forget about going to provide support; you'd be lucky if you didn't become a burden. Remember, in the assassin line of work, the mission objective is the top priority, followed by your own safety."

Only by ensuring one's own safety after completing the mission can one live a long life.

Our mission is now complete, so all you need to do is go back and report.

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Tatsumi wanted to say something, but Yang Cheng had already jumped onto the roof and was rushing towards the location where the "Romantic Turret" beam had dissipated at an extremely fast speed.

Watching Yang Cheng leave, Tatsumi secretly resolved to become stronger and not be like he was today, unable to help at all.

"When we get back, I'll have Brother Brand give me another good beating!"

After parting ways with Tatsumi, Yang Cheng leaped across the buildings of the Imperial Capital at an incredible speed under the cover of night.

Finally, in a park in the capital, Yang Cheng found his companions Mine and Hill, as well as the people they had fought.

Some of the people involved in the "Night Raid" whose appearances were revealed are wanted in the capital.

This includes Yang Cheng, Najenda, Brand, Akame, who betrayed the Empire, as well as Hill, who was an assassin before.

Leone has always been active in the capital and is responsible for gathering intelligence, partly because she is one of the few people who are not wanted by the authorities.

Mine and Hill were originally planning to return after their unsuccessful search for and execution of Zank in the capital.

But no one expected that on their way back to the base, they would run into Seryu Yubikitas of the Imperial Capital Garrison.

Seryu Ubiquitas is a young girl with a long orange ponytail. Although she has a sweet appearance, she is extremely twisted and crazy inside.

They advocate a distorted version of "justice" and believe that "justice" should never yield to "evil".

If I had to compare them, the other party is somewhat similar to Akainu from the One Piece world, but even more insane than Akainu.

Seryu's mentor was "Ogre the Demon," the unfortunate fellow who died in Tatsumi Killer's debut.

Because her mentor was killed by "Night Raid," Seryu harbored even deeper hatred for Night Raid and its members.

During this patrol, she encountered Mine and her companion, and recognized Hill, who was wanted by the authorities.

As the saying goes, enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile, so the two sides started fighting without saying a word.

Seryu believed that the "night raid" was evil, and she pinned all the blame on the two of them for the crimes committed by the Imperial Guard members who were killed by the beheaded Zank, as well as some innocent civilians.

Seryu is also a Teigu user, and her Teigu is an extremely rare biological Teigu, "Monster Transformation: Hundred-Armed Giant".

The Imperial Arms is shaped like a cute little dog, but it grows to enormous size and becomes incredibly powerful when it enters battle mode.

Furthermore, biological Imperial Arms share another common feature: in addition to possessing the ability to act independently, they continuously regenerate before their core is destroyed.

Faced with the "Hundred-Armed Giant" that can regenerate continuously, Mine's "Romantic Turret" always had limited damage, and in the end, Seryu even broke one of her arms, leaving her only able to hold the gun with one hand.

Although Seryu's arms were also severed by Sheele's "Severing All Things" during the battle.

However, in order to protect Mine, Hill was also shot in the chest by the modified gun that Seryu mentioned.

When Yang Cheng arrived at the scene, the "Hundred-Armed Giant," with its gaping maw, was already spinning, intending to use its sharp, spiraling teeth, like a meat grinder, to swallow Mine whole.

However, at the critical moment, Mine, who had already been shot in the chest, pushed Mine away, thus exposing herself to the beast's jaws.

Seeing the smile that the dying Hill gave her, Mine's eyes widened in horror, while Seryu slumped to the ground on the other side...

His face lit up with ecstatic joy.

"Shave it—!"

"Iron Block - Rock Splitter 1!"

Just as the Hundred-Handed Giant's sharp teeth were about to bite Hill, a figure suddenly appeared beside the Hundred-Handed Giant under the moonlight.

And just before the "Hundred-Handed Giant's" sharp teeth were about to bite into Hill's body, a whip kick struck him directly.

Yang Cheng, who kicked the "Hundred-Armed Giant" dog in the face, felt half of his body sink into the other's soft body.

But the next second, with the force of the impact, the "Hundred-Armed Giant," whose body was over three meters tall, was still reduced to a sonic boom.

It flew backwards and plowed a huge trench in the ground.

"Looks like I'm not too late."

Seeing Yang Cheng land smoothly from the air, Mine and Hill's faces immediately lit up with joy, while Seryu, not far away, had a gloomy expression and said, "Another evil person has arrived? But justice will never yield to evil!"

Little Bi immediately went berserk.
