Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

With its body capable of shrinking at will, Thorn provided information that Akame had left immediately.

At the same time, Lu Ye also noticed that the more Thorn stretched its body, the thinner the stretched part became.

Akame dashed through the streets of the capital.

It's around 11 p.m. now, and there won't be any patrols along the road from Anning Road all the way out of the capital.

She sensed the figure approaching her from behind, but did not speed up.

Everything is going according to plan.

We can't be too fast; we need to shake off these people.

She can't be too slow either. If she gets caught up and faces four opponents at the same time, the best she can do is take down two of them.

The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind; it was from rows of black, sharp spikes.

Faced with the attack coming from behind, Akame simply leaped up, trying to dodge it.

Once she turns around or stops, the slowed speed will allow the four demons to catch up with her instantly.

Just then, a flash of silver light passed by Lu Ye. With his excellent dynamic vision, Lu Ye recognized it as a chain with barbs. At the end of the chain was a gleaming giant axe, and on the other side were curved barbs.

Lu Ye understood Zhu Tian's intention.

Akame has nowhere to hide in the air; once she's hooked, it's over.

This was a critical moment.

Even a fool could guess what kind of treatment Akame would receive after being captured.

But Lu Ye showed no intention of making a move.

Because they have already left Anning Road.

For safety reasons, people have been waiting here for quite some time.

Just as the chains were about to touch Akame, a beam of red light shot out.

It was a long spear with a somewhat bright red tip.

“That’s… a redback shrike?” Suzuka recognized the gun.

Redback Shrike is an accessory to the Imperial Arms "Demon's Embrace - Manipulation Armor".

In other words, the one who helped Akame block that hook was the former Imperial Capital soldier on the wanted list—Brad.

The chains snapped open, which surprised Zhu Tian.

Immediately, a person clad in white armor came into view.

The red spear spun in his hand, creating a sharp whistling sound.

"Are you alright?" Brad asked with concern.

"We were almost in trouble, thank you." Akame said.

“Hey, what’s the big deal?” Brad stared intently at the four Rakshasa demons in front of him. “Two against four, doesn’t look like we have much of a chance.”

"Oh, trying to run away?" Suzuka laughed. "Aren't you going to come and torment me a bit?"

Brad glanced at her, finding her somewhat familiar.

Then he remembered.

Suzuka used to be a soldier, and quite famous at that.

Because she has an extremely strong masochistic constitution, she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't get beaten up every day.

But she also has a strange quirk: she only wants to be abused by people stronger than herself. In other words, as long as someone beats her, she'll gladly accept whatever they do to her.

Her reason for joining the army was simple: she simply wanted to be tortured by Esdeath.

However, after being ruthlessly rejected by Esdeath, she left the army and unexpectedly became an "executioner" under the minister.

“No, I don’t have that kind of fetish.” Brad raised his spear. “Akame, you go first, I’ll cover your retreat.”

"Then be careful."

Without hesitation, Akame took off running.

The slender figure of the black-haired girl gradually disappeared into the distance.

Ji and Zhu Tian wanted to give chase, but Brad blocked their way.

"Don't even think about touching a finger of my teammate unless you step over my dead body," Brad sneered.

“You guys should save your breath,” Suzuka said. “This armor is fast and provides decent protection for the user. If you want to catch that girl, you’ll have to deal with this guy in front of you.”

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned their attention to Brad.

"One-on-one, or one-to-many?" Brad smiled confidently. "Whichever it is, I'll take it!"

Thirty seconds later.

Brad ran across the rooftops, leaping nimbly between them like a slender kangaroo.

And behind him,

He was defeated in just thirty seconds.

Although feigning defeat and then fleeing was part of the plan...

But Brad still realized how formidable the minister's "executioners" were.

This group of people has an exceptionally strong ability to cooperate.

Although his Imperial Arm "Demon Possession: Control Armor" possesses high defensive capabilities and the ability to conceal his form and presence, its supposedly formidable defensive power is significantly diminished in the face of this group.

The sweat from a woman with chocolate skin has the remarkable effect of softening objects and deflecting attacks.

The bearded man was a large, strong man with a physique as tough as steel and strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

That tall, thin, purple-haired freak could change his body posture at will, and even transform his entire body into a "line" the size of a palm.

Brad learned his lesson from this.

During the battle, he was surrounded by three people from the flank. First, his armor was softened by the horse's head, then he was trapped by thorns that turned into lines, and finally, he was almost beheaded by Zhu Tian with an axe.

Brad thought to himself that if he hadn't learned about these people's abilities from Lu Ye beforehand, and hadn't pretended to struggle while using his spear to sever the continuity of the liquid on the ground and undo the softening, he probably would have died there.

The executioners under the minister's command... were indeed quite capable.

After a chase of more than ten minutes, thanks to the high mobility and defensive capabilities of "Possessed by Evil Spirits," Brad successfully reached the forest on the outskirts of the city.

There was the sound of water not far away.

This is a waterfall, hidden in a dense forest.

It is about 20 meters tall, and the surrounding vegetation is very lush.

This is the battlefield for the final battle.

Everything done before was to lure the executioners here.

Meanwhile, the unsuspecting executioners continued to hunt down Brad.

"What, not running anymore?"

The terrain around the waterfall is circular, with the surrounding mountain walls damp and covered in moss. The waterfall is tens of meters high, making escape impossible unless Brad can fly. The only exit, which is also the entrance, is the narrow forest path behind them, which is only five meters wide.

Seeing that he had cornered Brad, Thorn couldn't help but feel smug.

Zhu Tian and Suzuka also walked forward, their shoes getting wet from the water on the riverbank.

But the horse's head didn't move; it just frowned.

She felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It's true that Brad was being hunted down to protect Akame.

However, as an assassin, he should be very familiar with the terrain around the capital, so it's impossible that he would rush to such a dead end in a panic.

This waterfall is indeed a suitable place for an ambush, because once you enter, there is no way to retreat.

A prey would deliberately come here...

Or maybe it's just not very bright.

Either... it wants to turn the tables and kill the hunter!

The woods at the entrance had some vegetation that could provide cover, but the riverbank was wide open, without even a large enough rock to serve as cover, and the surrounding terrain was quite high...

Looking at his three teammates walking on the riverbank, Ma Tou seemed to realize something, and his expression turned horrified.

"Wait! Get out of there!!"

Hearing the horse's call, the three of them turned around simultaneously, their faces filled with confusion.

We're about to catch the Night Raid members, what are you talking about?

leave?

Are you kidding me?

But at that very moment, gunshots pierced the night sky, startling flocks of birds into flight.

Thorn's head exploded instantly!

And a flower of blood mist bloomed in the air!

Zhu Tian and Suzuka realized they were ambushed almost before Thorn's body even fell.

Zhu Tian grabbed Thorn's headless corpse and held it up in front of him as a human shield, while Suzuka hid behind him.

The echoes of gunfire continued as Zhu Tian retreated, searching for the enemy's movements...

Suddenly he felt something hit the back of his head.

He turned around abruptly, swinging his giant axe, but there was nothing behind him.

But Zhu Tian remembered that he had indeed touched something very small, and he couldn't be wrong about the feeling.

Just then, he noticed something moving in front of him due to the angle and the light.

That's a thread, a very, very thin thread.

Wire?
