Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

Akame tried to resist, but the mechanical hand directly unleashed a pinkish-purple circular electromagnetic field, imprisoning her firmly within the purple sphere, rendering her unable to move.

The girl gritted her teeth and desperately tried to swing the knife, but the electromagnetic force numbed every part of her body, making her unable to control her muscles and joints.

“Ah, Mr. Schwarz? She is…”

Clara was only just realizing what was happening when she looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared and was then taken control of by Mr. Schwarz, somewhat bewildered.

I don't understand what happened!

Chapter 24 Possessed by Evil Spirits!

Clara was originally here sorting out her spoils. Arya's family had a lot of valuables, but many things were useless to her and she needed to find time to sell them.

She had just finished tidying up and was about to tell Mr. Schwarz when a figure appeared nearby, and then Mr. Schwarz took control of the figure.

At this moment, Clara discovered that it was actually a very beautiful girl.

And it looks somewhat familiar...

She is the assassin who raids at night, Akame.

Swallow entered, but showed no intention of releasing Akame, who was being held captive. If the analysis is correct, the other life forms approaching this area are also Night Raid assassins.

He didn't intend to be enemies with Night Raid, but demonstrating his strength appropriately before cooperating with an assassin group was a necessary step.

Otherwise, they'll definitely be completely at your mercy.

He wouldn't treat them as easy to talk to just because they were the main characters and their assassinations were approved.

Although most members of Night Raid are idealists who want to end this cannibalistic era, they are ultimately assassins and the front line of the resistance.

They genuinely thought he was a good person, but he never knew how he died.

Okay, it seems like most of the Night Raid members ended up dead...

"Night raid... Akame..."

No wonder she looked so familiar; the woman in front of me is none other than the female lead, Akame.

but……

"If she is Akame, how come she is still..."

Clara was a little confused. Wasn't the reason they came here to wait for the night raid? Now that the night raiders had finally arrived, how did they end up facing off against each other?

Trust me, Clara.

Schwarz didn't explain much, because the other members of the Night Raid were already approaching.

"Yes, Clara trusts Mr. Schwarzro's calculations." Clara didn't ask any further questions; generally, Mr. Schwarzro's calculations were accurate.

Moreover, she wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was quite clever and quickly grasped some of Schwarz's thoughts. Offering herself up to cooperate with Night Raid, even setting aside any suspicion from the other side, was unlikely to garner much attention...

The saying goes, "No fight, no friendship," so it's better to first demonstrate your strength. This way, Night Raid will be eager to join you.

Another reason is that defeating Teigu users and famous figures also grants achievement rewards. The main characters are almost all Teigu users, making it practically free achievement points!

They didn't wait long; in just a few seconds, a man and a woman appeared.

It was Leone and Brand...

When the two noticed the situation before them and saw that Akame was trapped inside a purple electromagnetic sphere and unable to move, they immediately became tense.

Especially Leone, the Lion Girl, who seemed to have her fur standing on end.

"Red pupil!"

"Damn it, let go of Akame!"

Leone possesses a belt-type Teigu that transforms her into a beast girl, the Beast King [Lion King].

This Imperial Arm allows the user to transform into a beast, dramatically enhancing their physical abilities, including their sense of smell, and enabling them to locate enemies.

The ultimate technique, "The Lion Never Dies," can greatly enhance one's recovery ability.

Even if his hands and feet are cut off or his eyes are gouged out, he can stop the bleeding and reattach himself. He can enhance his half-beast transformation and the recovery effect is even better when combined with Lubbock's Imperial Arms.

At that moment, Leone, seeing her companion's plight, charged at Schwarz like a raging lion, trying to rescue Akame.

However, when faced with Leone, Swallow simply raised his left hand, and another huge mechanical hand suddenly appeared beside him.

"Wait, Leone!"

Noticing Swallow's actions and seeing Leone, he rushed forward without thinking. Brand tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Like an angry little lion, Leone was no longer listening to him and had already rushed in front of Schwarz.

However, the moment she made her move, the independent mechanical hand casually slapped her away. Then, before Leone could even stand up, the mechanical hand slightly opened, and a small black hole composed of electromagnetic waves appeared in its palm.

Everything around it, from furniture to walls, rocks, and bricks, was being absorbed frantically by this small black hole.

Even Clara was not spared; the protective force appeared to shield her from the black hole's pull.

Leone, who was the main target, did not fare so well. Even though her Teigu gave her superhuman strength, she was still pulled into the black hole before she could even stand firmly, and her body was uncontrollably sucked in front of the giant mechanical hand.

However, at this moment, Schwarz stopped absorbing the black hole and instead grabbed Leone, forming a purple electromagnetic sphere just like Akame's.

“Leone…”

Brand, struggling to control the suction force, hadn't even had time to react when he saw Leone also being controlled, and his expression instantly changed.

Now look what's happened; both of his companions are gone.

Lubbock and Mine rushed over, but it was to no avail.

Fortunately, the black hole's suction force is gone now, but he can only rely on himself to save the two of them. This mission is truly baffling.

He thought it was just another assassination attempt, nothing more, but he hadn't expected this turn of events. He didn't have time to think about the details; the most important thing now was to rescue his comrades…

"Alright, let's have a contest between the strong!"

Bran's gaze turned serious as he stared intently at the handsome mechanical creation in front of him.

He's getting serious now.

He twirled the gun in his hand, then Brand knelt on one knee, one hand on the ground, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Haunted by evil spirits!!!"

With a loud roar from Brand, an enormous mecha figure appeared behind him, followed by a burst of light.

Along with the light, something resembling living straps wrapped around his body, and he transformed into an armored warrior draped in a silver-white cloak.

This is his Imperial Arm, possessed by evil spirits!

An armor-type Imperial Arms made from the ferocious dragon-shaped Danger Species "Thailand".

It possesses an impenetrable defensive capability, but it places an immense burden on the wearer; an ordinary person would die if they wore it.

More importantly, the super-dangerous Tyrande that created the armor is not truly dead; it can adjust its size according to the user's body shape and continues to evolve.

Not only does it possess the ability to become invisible for a short period of time, but it also has the ability to enhance itself, evolving different defensive capabilities when encountering different enemies.

It is also equipped with the secondary weapon "Redback Shrike".

Chapter 25 The Will to Preserve

After transforming, Brand, wielding the Redback Shrike, instantly became much more imposing.

He raised his signature spear, pointed it at Schwarz, took a step that instantly shattered the ground, and then dashed over as if he had teleported.

[Target threat index has increased.]

Facing Brand after his transformation, Schwarz controlled the two purple electromagnetic spheres while meeting the attacker's attack.

Unseen by ordinary eyes, Brand appeared before Schwarz and hurled a shot.

However, as if he could anticipate his attack, Schwarzlo raised his hand to block it.

"Break it for me!"

Seeing his attack blocked, Brand gripped his weapon tightly and pressed down even harder. Even a mechanical shell couldn't withstand the Redback Shrike's attack; it was enough to shatter steel.

Seemingly sensing Brand's determination, his armor became even more terrifying, pressing down on Schwarz with even greater force.

However, things weren't so bad for Schwarzkopf. The ground beneath his feet couldn't withstand the force, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear.

Moreover, it grew larger and larger, and the surrounding buildings continued to crack under this pressure, with signs of collapse appearing on the houses.

Schwarz glanced at Clara and saw the protective power surging around her, unaffected even by the collapse of the buildings. Without further hesitation, he lifted Brand's spear aside and slammed his other iron fist heavily towards him.

Sensing the approaching danger, Brand, with his exceptional intuition, quickly raised his spear to defend himself, barely managing to block Schwarz's punch.

However, due to that terrifying force, it was directly blasted back more than ten meters and crashed into the mansion wall, causing the mansion wall to collapse.

However, this did not affect Brand, who was fully protected inside the armor. He swept away the surrounding bricks and dirt with a shot and continued to roar as he charged toward Schwarz.

With his determination and courage, he seemed to have completely merged with the Imperial Arms on his body, transforming into a super dangerous species that could constantly adapt to and evolve in the environment.

Compared to other Imperial Arms, this one, possessed by demons, is a living Imperial Arm. Its muscles are constantly alive and can even grow.

At this moment, in Schwarzrod's eyes, Brand was no longer human, but a terrifying, top-tier super-dangerous species.

Even so, he felt no fear or worry whatsoever!

[Preserve the will.]

Schwarz stepped onto the ground, and the protective force before him formed an invisible giant wall. In this world, he and Clara were companions on the three paths of destruction, preservation, and wisdom.

Although it's only just begun, it has already been very effective.

Brand, in his super-dangerous form, slammed his gun into the protective giant wall, only to feel a wave of dizziness.

Instead of breaking through the protective barrier, the force of the recoil paralyzed him!

Before Brand could react, Swallow had already appeared in front of him, his missile launchers appearing and locking onto him, but he didn't fire.

The battle is over. You have lost.

[The members of the night raid.]
