I love time travel the most!

"Imperial Arms... Could it be that you're fighting me for the sake of [God's Hand]?!" the Doctor asked through gritted teeth.

"No, I think you misunderstood."

"Damn it! I'm not going to sit here and wait to die! Take this! This is the ultimate fashion! I'm going to turn myself into a dangerous species and then beat you all to a pulp!"

The battle between Teigu users is a fight to the death, so the Doctor did not beg for mercy.

He used his hidden skill, using drugs to instantly grow to enormous size, becoming a giant.

"...So everyone says you've misunderstood."

Although the intention was to have him make a scene and put on a show for the night raiders, it seems he went a bit too far.

Pick up the "One Cut in Two"—that's what Kobayashi was thanking for earlier.

"Hahaha? You're thinking of using the Imperial Arm that can cut through everything? Useless, useless! My physical strength is equal to that of the Imperial Arm, so [One Cut in Two] is useless against me! Besides, you can't even use [One Cut in Two]!"

When the professor saw Kobayashi pick up the "One Cut in Two" sword, he guessed what Kobayashi was planning to do, which is why he loudly mocked her.

He was very confident in his physical strength.

"However, you still have weaknesses."

As is well known, the giant's weak point is the back of his neck.

Even if the giant humanoid Gundam doesn't have a fleshy back of its neck, the pilot doctor's fleshy back of the neck is still a weak point, so just aim at it and attack.

"Then, I'll go!"

Kobayashi held the sword in two with a single stroke, charging forward at incredible speed.

The giant slap from the humanoid Gundam was powerful but too slow to stop it. Kobayashi continued to jump upwards, stepping on the muscles.

"Damn it! They're like bugs!"

The doctor released the syringes on his back in an attempt to intercept them, but Kobayashi dodged them all using [Future Vision].

In just one minute, he arrived in front of the doctor.

"This is your final chapter, Doctor."

——【Soul-stirring】

A dazzling light burst forth from the scissors, mingling with the afterglow of the setting sun and obscuring the doctor's vision.

"No, impossible... How could you use [One Cut in Two]?!"

click-

With the help of scissors capable of severing everything, Kobayashi successfully sliced ​​off the doctor's nape, causing his immediate death.

The out-of-control humanoid Gundam suddenly fell forward.

Amidst billowing dust, a tremendous, muffled thud resounded through the sky, startling countless birds in the forest, as well as the super-dangerous flying species circling overhead.

Xiaolin raised his head and looked deeply at the sky.

Then, picking up the Doctor's [God's Hand], and wielding [One Cut, Two Slashes], his figure disappeared into the dust-filled forest.

Chapter 68 Tatsumi: Oh no, I've become a substitute!

When Kobayashi returned to the Hunters, Will was being tortured, kneeling on the torture instruments, wincing in pain.

"Black eyes, bricks."

"receive."

Upon hearing Esdeath's order, Kurohime did not hesitate to throw a marble slab onto Will's legs.

"It hurts so much—!"

Will's legs were squeezed by the uneven torture instruments and the marble slab, and tears streamed down his face from the pain. But he was too ashamed to beg for mercy because he had made such a terrible mistake.

Of course, even if you beg for mercy, you won't be forgiven.

Kobayashi walked into the hall and was somewhat dazed by the scene before him. He asked curiously, "What's going on here?"

"Kobayashi, you're back."

Esdeath visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kobayashi return.

Kobayashi tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "I'm back... What's wrong?"

“Doctor…Doctor, we’ve lost contact with him. He’s probably dead.” Seryu hugged her dog-shaped Imperial Arm tightly, looking worried and forlorn.

That's right, young lady.

Your hunch was pretty accurate.

Esdeath asked again, "Kobayashi, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

"I'm going to hunt down the dangerous species," Kobayashi replied.

"But I did not give you the mission to hunt down dangerous species."

"Because the rampant dangerous species had already endangered the residents outside the city, I went to help."

Kobayashi remained calm and didn't reveal a single flaw.

Esdeath nodded. She didn't care what Kobayashi was doing; what she was afraid of was losing contact with Kobayashi, just like the Doctor.

We can't just lose two of the Imperial Arms users we've painstakingly gathered for no reason.

Esdeath instructed, "Slaying dangerous species is no problem, but next time you leave, make sure to let us know in advance, understand?"

"Yes, I remember."

Kobayashi nodded decisively, then looked at Will below the stage and asked in confusion, "And then... what happened to him? Why is he kneeling here?"

"Because he made a mistake."

As Black Eyes explained, he threw another marble slab at Will, causing him to howl in pain.

"No, no, no, it's obvious he made a mistake. I'm asking what mistake he made."

“Tatsumi has escaped,” Polus explained considerately.

"I see."

Kobayashi nodded in realization and said in utter shock, "So, it means 'the captain was dumped by Tatsumi,' right?"

"...Huh?" xN

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Is Kobayashi really that brave? Doesn't he know who's up there?

Esdeath's mood immediately soured.

"Black eyes, bricks."

"receive."

Black Eyes slammed another marble slab down, increasing the severity of the punishment.

"It hurts!!!"

Will cried out in pain, unable to hold back his protests, "This is not fair! Why am I the one being punished when Kobayashi said something wrong?!"

Esdeath explained, "The point is not that Tatsumi escaped, but that you let the Night Raid get away."

"But Kobayashi just said that the captain got dumped, and that's why the captain is angry!"

The intense pain had clouded Will's judgment.

Oops~

Xiaolin covered her face, unable to bear to look.

Esdeath's words just now were clearly an excuse to vent her anger, and he actually said them out loud. This idiot is completely hopeless.

"Black eyes, bricks."

"receive."

"It hurts so much—! Why?!"

It seems he doesn't know the reason for his punishment; his intelligence is truly appalling.

With a heavy heart, I patted him on the shoulder.

Will.

"Xiao Lin..."

Looking at Will's expectant eyes, he probably thought I was there to plead for him.

however--

"enjoy it."

"I don't enjoy it! I'm not a submissive!"

Will couldn't help but complain loudly.

Well, seeing that he's still full of energy, I know the punishment wasn't severe, so I won't speak up for him.

Tatsumi's escape is a foregone conclusion, and he is very likely to become an enemy.

Ran was also worried about this and asked, "Captain, if Tatsumi appears as an enemy, how should we deal with it?"

"Although I hope you can capture him alive, his men's lives are more important. If anything happens, there's no need to worry about life or death."

"Understood!"

Esdeath's words were somewhat cold; even though she liked someone, her subordinates were more important to her than she was to him.

However, this is also one of her strengths.

Although he may be influenced, he is by no means a simple romantic, but a leader deeply loved by his subordinates.

"Hush-huh-"

As everyone talked, Will's breathing became increasingly labored.

As the bricks piled up, the punishment became increasingly painful, his leg bones creaking and groaning as he neared his limit.
