Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

"..."

"With me here, I can't let you do whatever you want."

Tatsumi made a very cool entrance, then blocked Daidas's attack with his sword. Although he hadn't trained as an assassin with Night Raid, Tatsumi's strength was still quite good.

However, feeling the pressure from the strength in the hands of the person in front of him, he was indeed no ordinary enemy. He was worthy of being one of Esdeath's three Beast Warriors.

Without what Clara gave him, Tatsumi really wouldn't have dared to step onto the field with such confidence.

"Oh? There are still people here."

Daidas was quite surprised to see the boy blocking his way; he hadn't even noticed that there was someone else besides his target.

"Where did you come from? Never mind, that's not important... You look much stronger than them. Killing you will definitely give me more combat experience points!"

Although he was surprised by Tatsumi's appearance, he quickly stopped caring about it.

That which stops you is the enemy.

Powerful enemies will provide him with even more experience points, which is something to be very excited about.

Daidas laughed loudly, and with a forceful thrust of his weapon, he sent Tatsumi flying.

"...What great strength."

Tatsumi took several steps back before regaining his footing.

"Hey, you guys step back a bit, they're not someone you can handle."

Steadying himself, Tatsumi quickly spoke to the minister's daughter and the former soldier standing beside him.

With the strength of the three people in front of them, each of them could easily kill these people instantly; they weren't even cannon fodder here.

"Um...who are you?"

Upon hearing this, the minister's daughter finally realized what was going on and asked the question that had been bothering her. These two groups of people who had suddenly appeared did not seem to be ordinary people.

"Now is not the time to talk about that."

Tatsumi gripped the black sword tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on Daidas, who was putting considerable pressure on him.

"Have you said enough?"

"Kid, obediently let me destroy you, and let me enjoy myself!"

Hearing these words, Daidas had no patience to wait for them to finish. He charged at Tatsumi again, slashing out his axe-shaped Imperial Arms with ferocity.

The boy quickly went to meet him, but after only a few exchanges, Tatsumi was starting to struggle and began to take hits.

As he quickly created distance, Daidas split the axe-wielding Imperial Arm in two, throwing one of them at the boy in front of him.

Tatsumi dodged the axe at the first moment, but little did he know that the axe was a spinning axe. After turning a corner, it flew towards Tatsumi as a streak of light at an even faster speed.

Even Tatsumi couldn't react in time!

"not good."

Feeling the spinning of the flying axe, Tatsumi had no time to dodge. Just as he was about to be struck, an invisible force appeared, and the space-time around Tatsumi suddenly became frozen.

The throwing axe came to a complete stop beside him, without making any further moves.

This situation startled Tatsumi, but he then realized that it seemed to be Clara's ability to grant the light cone power.

The light cone "Amber" can freeze the spacetime around the user when the user is about to be in danger.

Although the area was small, it was enough to save lives.

Having realized it was the light cone's effect, Tatsumi seized the opportunity to escape the flying axe's attack, and then confidently continued his charge towards Daidas.

With the power of the light cone protecting us, what is there to fear?

"What happened? It missed!"

Daidas was a little confused about what had happened. He had clearly seen the guy about to be hit by his spinning axe, but suddenly he was fine.

Despite his confusion, he didn't dwell on it when he saw Tatsumi take the initiative to attack, and he took up his Axe Imperial Arm to fight him again.

But the more he fought, the stranger he became. It seemed that there was an invisible force protecting Tatsumi, making it difficult for Daidas to take him down quickly.

This angered Daidas, who was eager to gain experience points.

"Hahaha, come again!"

In contrast to Daidas's displeasure, Tatsumi felt incredibly comfortable.

An invisible protective force shielded his entire body, and the overwhelming sense of security was simply amazing! He felt like he didn't need to pay much attention to the opponent's attacks; he could just focus on attacking.

Is this the power of preservation?!

awesome.

"Daidas, what's wrong with you... You can't even take down a boy?"

Seeing that Daidas was actually fighting a boy who had appeared out of nowhere and they were evenly matched, Niu and Riva on the side seemed a little confused.

Even if you want to toy with your prey, this isn't the way to do it.

"Is this any good, Daidas...?"

Despite being a cross-dresser, Niu spoke in a tone like a little devil.

This made Daidas, who was already feeling bad, even more upset.

It wasn't that he didn't want to resolve the situation quickly, but rather that the boy was too strange, and the invisible force protecting him made it difficult to defeat him effectively.

"What exactly is this power you're possessing?!"

As he spoke, Daidas once again hurled both of his axe-shaped Imperial Arms at Tatsumi. However, although they struck him, the latter still did not appear to be injured.

"You wouldn't understand, this is the power of preservation!"

Tatsumi responded with fervor, slashing forward with his sword.

"Protecting?"

What it is?

Daidas grabbed the returning flying axe, blocked Tatsumi's sword, and took a few steps back.

"Attack together! Quickly eliminate the target!"

Niu and Riva, who were standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer and decided to join the battle.

"Hey, are you trying to gang up on me? I'm your opponent."

Just as Riva and Neu took out their Teigu and prepared to fight Tatsumi together, another boy's voice rang out, followed by a tremor in the ground.

Chapter 47: All Three Beast Warriors Annihilated!

"what?"

Sensing the ground shaking, the three beast warriors and the others looked in that direction and discovered that a large number of mechanical creations had appeared around them at some point.

The sight of so many lumps of steel clustered together is a bit unsettling.

Before the three beast warriors could think further, Daidas and Sayo had already led their robot army over.

But the robots' main objective was to surround the three to prevent them from escaping.

Seeing this scene, Liva and his two companions realized that they had been targeted. It seemed that these people had been watching them for a long time and were waiting for them to walk into a trap.

But they were not afraid; after all, they were people who had seen big scenes with Esdeath.

Even though these robots look dangerous, they shouldn't lose their will to fight.

"It seems I have to go all out."

Liva surveyed his surroundings, his expression calm.

Although this place isn't suitable for him to fight, it doesn't matter... none of that matters.

He slowly took off his gloves, revealing a beautiful and stylish ring.

This is his Imperial Arm!

The water dragon possesses "Black Horse Forest"—the Imperial Arms of the Commandments.

Made from the organs of dangerous aquatic creatures that manipulate water, this device allows the user to freely manipulate the liquids in anything they come into contact with.

If there were water, this Imperial Arm could unleash extremely powerful force, but there was no water around now, but he didn't care.

The absence of water does not mean that this Imperial Arm is useless.

It can also manipulate any liquid, meaning that as long as it touches the enemy's blood, it can instantly control all the liquids in the enemy's body.

besides……

Liva cut his arm with his hand, controlled the flow of blood, and then drew his sword.

With his gaze fixed on Daidas who was approaching him, Riva flashed past and appeared in front of Daidas.

Then the weapon in his hand transformed into a sky full of sword shadows, attacking him wildly.

Daidas hurriedly defended, but still couldn't keep up with the pace and was forced to take hits on the back...

"Is this the strength of the former Imperial General? He's terrifyingly powerful!"

Only then did Daidas truly understand just how powerful the Imperial General was.

If it weren't for the protective light cones on his body, he would have been instantly killed by Riva in a single encounter.

"So that's why Daidas couldn't defeat that boy!"

Feeling the invisible force protecting Daidas, Riva finally understood what had happened to Daidas earlier.

This is what is meant by the power of preservation...

Because of this power, even Riva could hardly hurt his skin.

On the other side, Sayo also met Niu.

Sayo's strength is not bad. Although she is a girl, she is not much weaker than Tatsumi. However, after facing this cross-dresser, she found that his speed was actually far superior to hers.

"Big sister, your face is pretty too!"
