During the night raid, in order to help her integrate into the group more quickly, Mine told her many stories about the squad members, including Brad.
He was originally an elite soldier in the capital, highly skilled in martial arts, with promising prospects for promotion. However, after a certain war, his superior, Riva, refused to bribe the minister and was imprisoned. Riva himself tried to defend Riva but was framed and imprisoned, suffering torture from a deadly poison. Unable to endure the corruption of the empire any longer, Riva used his Imperial Arms to escape and join Night Raid.
Brad simply assumed a stance in response.
"In any other situation, I would definitely offer you a drink, but you are my enemy now, so... don't blame me for being ruthless, I must complete the mission!"
"Brad, if you are willing to hand over the identities and hiding places of all the members of the Night Raid organization, I can plead with General Esdeath to spare your life. She is a very capable person who appreciates talent, and you will definitely shine in her hands."
Liva did not give up on negotiations. The current situation was somewhat unfavorable, with only two people on his side and three on the other side.
“I have long since given up on serving this country. The reason I am standing here is for Lady Esdeath. The power that allows you to act with impunity and be feared by others is the power that all the bureaucrats involved in dirty political schemes have been currying favor with.”
“I refuse, General Leva, you’ve changed.” Brad wasn’t angry, but rather calm. “You, who are utterly disillusioned with bureaucracy, must feel quite at ease in your current position, but I intend to stand on the side of the people. The capital is a breeding ground for evil. To date, I have killed far more villains than the 126 I have killed on the battlefield.”
“For the people… So that’s how it is. This is the creed of Night Raid. No wonder you became one of them. But… it’s not me who’s changed, it’s your mind.” Brad slowly raised his right hand, revealing a black ring with strange patterns and a black gemstone. “Even so, I must complete the mission and repay that lord!”
"You old friends have finished chatting, shouldn't it be time to fight now?" Niu turned around with an innocent smile and glanced at Daidas's corpse inside the room. "This guy is really useless. He's clearly not that strong, but he still insisted on taking on three people at once. He deserves it."
Brad and Leone exchanged a glance.
After confirming that everything was correct, Brad charged forward, gun in hand.
The battle has officially begun!
Without any hesitation, Brad engaged in close combat with Riva.
Surprisingly, Bright, who possesses the armor-type Imperial Arm "Demon Possessed," was unable to suppress Rival for the time being. Instead, Rival gained a slight advantage, his punches and kicks moving with lightning speed.
The opponent's fighting ability was extremely strong, while Brad's "Redback Robert" was unable to exert its advantage.
Abandon your own advantages to confront your opponent's advantages.
This seems like a very foolish thing to do.
Koliva immediately understood Brad's intention.
He's trying to limit the effectiveness of his Imperial Arms.
As long as you remain in close combat, the chances of activating your Imperial Arms will be greatly reduced.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other two will deal with Niu, eventually creating a three-on-one situation.
"Violet, come with me!"
Leone bared her fangs and attacked Niu.
Violet picked up her sword and followed.
"Hehe, you two are both very beautiful. If I were to peel off your faces... they would definitely be some very precious collectibles for me!" With that, Niu used her flute as a sword and began to fight.
However, Leone's speed after transforming into a beast was even greater. She was like a lion on the savanna, and every strike was full of wildness and ferocity. Although Niu's movements were also very fast and he was a very good warrior, he began to suffer more injuries under the combined attack of Leone and Violet.
After countless exchanges of offense and defense, Violet slashed at Neu head-on with her sword. Although the sword was already broken and tattered, Neu still dared not be careless. In a short time, he had deeply realized that beneath the seemingly beautiful girl's skin lay a tremendous amount of monstrous strength.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leone sprinted on all fours, circled around to Niu's side, and delivered a powerful punch to his abdomen.
"Whoa!!"
Niu coughed up blood and flew backward. She was caught off guard and suffered internal bleeding. Her kidneys were probably also damaged.
He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, gripping the flute tightly in his hand...
He's not dead yet, he still has a chance!
Leone then realized something was wrong, because Niu had another secret technique.
That is, summoning a demon greatly enhances physical attributes and can even change one's body shape.
If that's the case, things might get complicated.
Because Brad's situation is very bad, he has now been reduced to a defensive position.
Hand-to-hand combat was never his forte; as a wounded soldier, he was used to fighting with weapons.
Although "Possessed by Evil Spirits" has high defensive capabilities, it will automatically dissipate after taking a certain amount of damage.
At that time, Brad will also become a normal human being with flesh and blood.
Leone originally intended to take the opportunity to kill Niu, but Niu reacted quickly and her right hand was already outstretched, so Leone had no choice but to settle for second best and inflict serious damage on her.
But Niu was unable to play the flute successfully.
Because a dagger had pierced his cheek, all the air was leaking out of the wound.
Leone glanced at Violet in surprise.
Even if Violet's throwing technique is excellent, how did she manage to do it from this positive angle?
Despite her doubts, Leone didn't hesitate and rushed forward, channeling all her strength into her right fist. Then, Niu's head exploded like a water-filled balloon.
Violet looked at her palms with a hint of sadness.
Because of the dagger that Lu Ye gave her, she used it up.
That's right, what she just threw was a short blade that Lu Ye bought from the store. Leaving aside its lethality, its accuracy was absolutely top-notch; it hit exactly where it was pointed. Lu Ye had once suspected that it was precisely because of its accuracy that it was so expensive in the store.
Meanwhile, upon seeing that Niu was dead, Riva unleashed his full power.
The situation has now become one against three. If he can't use his Imperial Arms, he'll probably die here today.
Brad was now nearing his limit. After a series of blows from Leva, the demonic possession was finally broken, and Brad staggered back several steps before collapsing to the ground.
Rival revealed the Imperial Arms in his hand.
“I won, Brad. Your tricks didn’t work in the end.”
“No, we won.” Brad smiled.
"Hmph, do you know what you're saying? My Imperial Arm can freely manipulate water, and I'm surrounded by the ocean, which means I have inexhaustible energy... I'm invincible, which is why Lady Esdeath sent me here."
“I know the power of your Imperial Arms…” Bright said, “That’s why I said…we won.”
"What……?"
Suddenly realizing something, Riva quickly activated the power of the ring in his hand.
The water in the ocean suddenly rippled and converged towards the sky.
Seeing this, Liva felt a little relieved, thinking that he was just bluffing.
But the next second, he was horrified to find that the water was pooling outside the boat but couldn't get in!
“Let me introduce you, this is our bookstore owner’s barrier,” Brad said. “This barrier has two uses. One is to facilitate escape and prevent pursuers, and the other is specifically designed to target you. The ability to freely manipulate water is quite troublesome, so I asked Lubbock in advance to use the most durable ‘Boundary Line’ to help create this barrier. Without water, you are no match for Leone and Violet…”
"You knew all along?!" Liva said in disbelief.
He couldn't believe this was a scheme Brad had prepared in advance!
To achieve this level of understanding, one must have a profound knowledge of the three beast warriors.
But where did they get their intelligence?
Liva couldn't understand it.
But seeing Leone and Violet approaching, he decided to fight to the death, took out a green test tube from his pocket, and injected the liquid inside into his neck.
Chapter 244 Killing Liva
The green, viscous liquid was instantly injected into Riva's body, causing the blood vessels beneath his skin to bulge out like a tangled spider web.
"Tsk, still not giving up?"
Leone clicked his tongue; now there were three of them on their side.
Two Teigu users, plus a girl whose strength is no less than that of a Teigu user, how could they possibly lose?
If you behave yourself, you might die a quicker death, instead of ending up like that arrogant Niu, whose brain was blown out!
However, having undergone beast transformation, her bestial nature naturally grows rapidly.
As a feline, Leone welcomes the dying counterattacks of its prey.
“Don’t be careless,” Brad said.
He looked rather disheveled, with bruises all over his body under his clothes, his heart-shaped steak head disheveled, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, a sign of internal injury.
"Brad, you should rest first. Violet and I will take care of this person."
After saying that, Leone rushed forward, and Violet was not idle either, breaking in from the side.
Leone's beastly fist aimed at Riva's head, while Violet attacked his lower body. This way, even if Leone failed to land a blow, she could at least sever Riva's legs with a single sword strike.
Faced with the combined offensive of the two, Liva made a move.
Surprisingly, he chose to retreat by getting close and charged directly at Leone, who was launching a frontal assault.
Their fists collided, and surprisingly, Riva did not lose ground!
At the same time, Violet arrived at Riva's side and unleashed a fierce sword strike.
Although Riva raised his leg to block immediately, Violet had anticipated this move. She looked at him, exhaled, and actually caught Riva's kick with her other hand, while her sword suddenly slashed down with increased speed.
In a flash, Liva severed his right leg, the cut as clean as a ham sliced by a chef in a high-end hotel with exquisite knife skills.
Koliva seemed unconcerned about his lost right foot, and his face showed no sign of pain. Only his reddened eyes were resolute, a testament to his will to survive.
He used his remaining left leg to generate power, lifting his toes off the ground, and then unleashed a spinning kick that struck from every angle.
Leone and Violet were caught off guard and were both kicked away. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and protected their chests with their hands. Otherwise, they would have suffered broken ribs at best, and if they were unlucky, the broken bones would have pierced their hearts and lungs, which would have been fatal.
Liva landed with his body ramrod straight, his only remaining leg also ramrod straight, despite being covered in blood.
Leone was deeply moved.
Even with her extraordinary regenerative abilities, it's impossible for her to remain unresponsive after having her limbs severed, and to be able to launch a counterattack with extreme composure.
But Keliva did it! Is this guy made of iron?!
“This is… glory,” Riva said calmly. “Everyone will die, but my death will become the glory of Lady Esdeath.”
Violet felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing this.
If Lu Ye were here, he would definitely say that you are not only about to die, but you also failed in your mission and have nothing but the glory of a chicken neck!
After thinking about it this way, the girl seemed to calm down a bit.
