Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Leone's fighting style is hand-to-hand combat, and her lion-like claws and strength are her greatest assets.

Lan knew that punching relied not only on arm strength but also on waist strength. In the air, a person's feet cannot touch the ground, so the waist strength that can be exerted is limited. This would allow him to kill or seriously injure Leone in the safest possible situation.

Just as Leone was about to cross the gap between the rooftops, she suddenly stomped on the ground to slow down, her body coming to a rapid stop as she slid, and then she swung a punch!

Lan had not expected this move at all and desperately tried to raise her wings to increase her altitude.

But he swooped down very fast, and despite his efforts, Leone's claws still managed to slash a deep wound across his abdomen, forcing him to clutch his stomach to prevent his internal organs from spilling out.

Chapter 270 Escape from Death

Leone's counterattack was something Lan hadn't expected at all.

She played the role of the prey fleeing for its life, but at the crucial moment, she revealed her true colors and delivered a fatal blow to Lan.

Leone had already calculated the distance.

Using her incredibly sensitive animal ears, she pinpointed Lan's location and quickly learned of his intentions.

The Night Raid's headquarters are located deep in the mountains. Leone and Akame often go out hunting, and thanks to this, she has learned a lot about the habits of animals.

For example, an eagle.

This animal always adopts a diving posture when hunting.

However, when adopting this posture, the eagle must initially descend at a gentle angle.

Because sometimes the prey is constantly moving, only in this way can the angle be adjusted in the air to facilitate hunting. Otherwise, due to inertia, it is very difficult to quickly increase one's altitude in a short time and distance.

Lan aimed for the moment when Leone crossed the gap between the buildings, so he set the angle from the beginning. Leone knew this, so he used the plan to lure him in.

It's not difficult to understand this.

If you think about it carefully, you'll understand. If a person's running speed is set at 10, then at the moment they jump, their speed will decrease to some extent—that's the key. It's like how eagles most often catch hares on the grassland not on a straight stretch, but at the moment the hare turns to escape.

"You seem to know a lot about animals. Did you grow up in the countryside?" Lan clutched her stomach with a forced smile. "I spent a lot of time practicing the dive attack, and not many people can escape it."

"It's alright, we often encounter eagles when we're hunting."

Leone panted, the beast ears on his head gradually disappeared, and his fists returned to their normal position.

Leone glanced at his hand.

On her right hand, where she had just thrown a punch, there was a horrifying knife wound, and blood dripped down like a leaky faucet, pooling into a small puddle on the ground.

Lan also has a wealth of combat experience.

When Leone countered, Lan's dagger pierced her palm. However, due to her beast form, the blood was absorbed by the fur on her claws. Now that she has returned to normal, the blood can no longer be stopped.

Leone stopped to chat with Ran not because she had eaten too much, but because she was completely exhausted. She didn't even have the strength to continue using her Imperial Arms. If she didn't stop to rest, she probably wouldn't be able to jump over the four-meter-wide gap between buildings.

She stared intently at Lan, retreating step by step to the edge of the rooftop, calculating whether she could jump over given her current situation.

But at that moment, several figures leaped out from the rooftop across the street.

Leone took a deep breath.

Those figures... were the remaining members of the hunter squad.

The incandescent light had disappeared about ten seconds ago, and Esdeath, Kurome, Will, and the others had already arrived.

After seeing Leone, Esdeath didn't intend to say anything more. She simply said, "Leave me alive," and then Kurome, Will, and the others summoned their Imperial Arms and rushed towards her.

Esdeath raised her hand and a thick ice spike flew towards Leone.

Faced with the onslaught of numerous enemies, Leone was now completely powerless.

The ice spike was incredibly fast, reaching Leone within three feet of him in almost two seconds.

Leone couldn't dodge in time, so she tried to raise her hand to block.

Just then, countless silver rays of light flashed across the sky, as beautiful as flowing light.

"What is this...?" Esdeath didn't have time to recognize it, but her instincts told her that it was not a good thing.

With a casual wave of her hand, an ice wall appeared out of thin air.

After it froze a portion of the silver light, Esdeath realized that it was actually made up of individual threads!

She seemed to sense something and quickly created a large ice spike in the sky, which fell towards Leone.

Leone was completely helpless against the coordinated ice-type attacks coming from above and in front.

But the next moment, several silver, fine lines fell beside her.

“Lubbock?” Leone whispered the name unconsciously.

The silver lines cannot speak, but they completely surround Leone, weaving together to form an extremely dense net around her, which even Esdeath's ice spikes cannot easily pierce.

Not only that, these threads began to spin rapidly, reflecting a dazzling light under the moonlight, obscuring what lay within. Leone was grateful to Lubbock, but this alone wouldn't suffice; these threads would eventually be frozen by Esdeath.

How can we escape?!

Just as she was deep in thought, a hand suddenly grabbed Leone's shoulder.

"Lu Ye!?" Leone was very surprised. "What are you doing here?"

However, she quickly realized what was going on.

She herself was positioned on the edge of the rooftop, while Lu Ye was climbing on the edge, dangling over the edge. Presumably, she arrived here by taking advantage of the hunter team's blind spot and the silver light reflected from Lubbock's lines.

"Come on, follow me... move aside."

Lu Ye plunged his entire upper body into the lines and hugged Leone's waist, and the lines obediently made room for him.

Of course, Lu Ye couldn't control Lubbock's wires; Lubbock himself was controlling them remotely.

The reason why the two were so in sync can be traced back to the thread that Lubbock tied to each of their wrists.

The wire was originally intended to transmit a message of retreat. However, Lu Ye knew that Lubbock's wires had an "eavesdropping" function, so he connected the wire on his wrist to the wires that Lubbock had laid out in advance within the Tranquil Road, which were the wires surrounding Leone at the moment, and thus made timely contact with Lubbock.

……

"Attack that net with all your might!" Esdeath shouted as she ran forward.

At the same time, a large ice pillar appeared behind her and suddenly stretched forward. Esdeath leaped lightly onto the ice pillar and used its rapid extension to approach Leone.

After witnessing the intense light emanating from Sheele's Teigu, she suspected that Leone's accomplices were trying to use the same trick again to deceive her and allow her to escape, but she would not let them achieve their goal.

Her ability is to manipulate ice, and she can even build huge ice walls or freeze targets in an instant.

However, to achieve precise control, one must get close to a certain distance.

So she was closing the distance between herself and Leone; once she got close, she could completely freeze that ball of wire and the person inside.

As she approached the tangled thread, just as she was about to freeze the target, the thread suddenly broke apart.

The people inside had naturally disappeared.

Chapter 271: They escaped, but not completely.

"The person...the person is gone!?"

Will, dressed in black armor, was somewhat dumbfounded.

His Imperial Arm is called [Asura Incarnation: Noble Chariot]. It is an armor-type Imperial Arm developed based on [Manipulated Armor: Demon Possession]. It does not have the transparency ability of Demon Possession, nor does it have the powerful explosive force of Demon Possession. However, in terms of overall performance, it is more advantageous than Demon Possession. Wearing it will also increase the sharpness of one's senses.

The thin thread had completely disappeared, and not only Will, but even Kurohime and the others did not know how Leone had escaped.

“It seems to be some kind of Imperial Arms…” Polus said at this moment. “I once read in a book that there seems to be an Imperial Arms that specifically controls strings.”

"Can this kind of thread also emit light?" Kuroko asked.

"No, but I think I've figured out how it works."

Borus's words caught Esdeath's attention.

“Have you noticed that these lines reflect light when viewed from a certain angle?” Polus explained. “Once these lines start spinning at high speed, they can reflect light with the help of moonlight, which is why they appear to glow. The manipulator must have mastered the use of the lines for a long time to be able to develop them to this extent.”

"How cunning! Are we just going to let them get away like this?" Will said, his tone full of resentment.

He came to the capital not only to make a name for himself, but also to punish evil and uphold justice. His first mission had already gone wrong, and now he couldn't accept watching the suspect who caused the explosion and riot escape.

“Don’t worry, look here.” Esdeath came to the edge of the platform. “There are bloodstains here. The woman was injured. She jumped from here and escaped from our blind spot. Ran is on another platform, so she had no choice but to jump down.”

“But her condition is very bad,” Kurome said. “It’s impossible for her to jump from such a height alone without the aid of a Teigu…”

"Could it be that besides the guy manipulating the wires, she has other accomplices?" Will asked in surprise. "Could it be that guy with the scissors who disappeared before?"

“Don’t worry, we’ll follow the trail of blood. We have an injured companion with us, and they’re definitely not as fast as us,” Esdeath said. “These people are armed with Imperial Arms, so if I’m not mistaken, they should be the assassin organization ‘Night Raid’.”

"Night raid..." Everyone's expression turned serious, especially Will's.

He had heard of this name long before he even arrived in the capital.

The assassins in the capital city are ruthless and commit all sorts of evil deeds.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Not only did they carry out the bombing a few days ago, but now they are also targeting these innocent citizens on Anning Road... It's simply unforgivable.

Esdeath gave the order.

"Dr. Fashion, go treat Lan's wounds. Black Eyes, you and Will go down and track the bloodstains. The rest of you, come with me!"

“Then I’ll stay here. Healing people on the rooftop, how fashionable…” Dr. Fashion casually made a delicate gesture with his fingers.

Will and Black Eyes leaped down from above and followed the trail of blood.

Esdeath waved her hand, creating a large area of ​​ice on the rooftop, which instantly covered the entire building area.

Will and Black Eyes have already gone down to follow the trail of blood, so she will stay upstairs.

This allows for a better observation of the situation below.

Now that they know the attackers are coming at night, they will have to use all their strength.

The "Hunter" squad was originally created to deal with assassin groups.

"A night raid, huh... Let me enjoy the feeling of the hunt." Esdeath licked her lips.

……

Meanwhile, Lu Ye was carrying Leone as they made their way through the alleyways, fleeing under Leone's direction.

However, with the added weight of another person on his back, Lu Ye couldn't run fast. Occasionally glancing at Leone in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh that everything has two sides. Her tall figure and towering height were indeed very attractive in normal times, but at this moment, they became a burden.
