Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

The incident happened in an instant. By the time the Tengu Party members on the nearby ships had reacted, the people on the leader's ship had all died.

"Attack! Attack! There are only a few of them, kill them!"

The Tengu Party members scattered on the surrounding boats raised their guns and opened fire. In an instant, gunfire erupted, and a dense barrage of bullets formed a volley, attempting to tear the small boat apart.

"Don't think about it!"

Cornelia, dressed as the King of Clothing Smash, leaped high from her ship and swung her fist toward the enemy vessel.

Like a cannonball, it pierced through the enemy's deck with a single punch, smashing the keel of the wooden ship and breaking it in two.

The Tengu Party members who fell into the water encountered two women, Akame and Kurome, underwater.

Several flashes of sword light appeared underwater in the stillness, and in a moment the surfaced remains of limbs stained the river red.

However, when facing this kind of group combat, the strongest is still Tsukushi, who provides rear support. Prometheus is already capable of zigzagging shots, so even if he hides behind cover, it won't help.

After the modifications made to Zhenxun, not only did multiple shots not affect the accuracy, but multiple bullets could also be fired in one go.

This kind of operation would normally put a great strain on the user's mind, but it was something that Chikushi, who had undergone physical enhancement, could do with ease.

"I really miss those days..."

Looking at Tsukushi's posture, Mahiro couldn't help but recall Mayumi's nickname "Fairy Archer" from the Nine Schools Tournament.

She's petite, just a bit busty, and has a bob haircut, quite different from Mayumi's loli-like figure and flowing long hair.

But it still manages to overlap with that magnificent figure.

Is it because I've been away from home for too long that I'm hallucinating...?

"No, we have no chance of winning on our own, but why didn't Barbara and those two women come to our aid!"

The mercenaries, their faces filled with terror, frantically jumped from the boat into the water in an attempt to escape.

The assassins in front of us may look like children, but their strength is terrifying!

Even the strongest leader of the group died at their hands!

"Where do you think you're going, you piece of trash!"

Nahshu, wielding the Water Dragon Sword, was like a cold grim reaper reaping lives. Just as the Tengu Party was about to jump into the river, he suddenly swung his longsword, creating a streak of sword light.

Before they even fell into the water, they were torn to pieces.

"It seems the Tengu Party is no match for them at all." Myoko frowned slightly as she looked at the firelight ahead.

"Hehe, of course. Our target is the high-ranking officials of the Empire, or even our own kind. It won't be that easy."

Barbara chuckled, completely unconcerned about the lives of the Tengu Party members.

Rather, the deaths of these Tengu Party members allowed her to discover many things, at least realizing that the other party was not simple.

"What do we do now? Should we go help?"

Miaozi stood on the bow of the small boat, instinctively wanting to rush into the battle.

"Wait a minute!"

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

Miao Zi's actions earned her a hard slap on the buttocks from her master.

"?!"

Miao Zi rubbed her bottom and looked at her master with a puzzled expression, only to see Barbara already standing on the edge of the boat.

"There's no need for that... The Tengu Party is beyond saving. We're actually lucky to be at the very back."

"well...?"

Miaozi turned around awkwardly, then fell silent upon seeing the corpses floating in the river and the water that had been stained deep red.

"Let's retreat before the enemy gets close! Abandon ship!"

Barbara said this and jumped straight into the water, seemingly unconcerned about the deaths of the Tengu Party members.

“I understand…” Myoko replied softly.

Although unwilling, now is indeed not the time to fight, after all, the enemy and ourselves are not clear, and we lack a lot of intelligence.

The rest is up to you, Chelsea. This is your job.

Barbara surfaced, thinking this, then glanced back at the raging fire on the river before turning back and diving into the dark waters with Taeko.

-------------------------------------

The screams on the river gradually subsided, leaving only the wrecked boats, torn apart by gunfire and burning fiercely.

"Captain, everything should be cleaned up. There's not a single survivor," Bonnie said, glancing at the severed head in Nahshu's hand.

Nahashu glanced at the corpses floating on the river and nodded calmly.

“No, actually we spotted a small boat following the big ship a few hundred meters behind. But I saw that it was empty, so I think they probably jumped overboard and escaped beforehand,” Cornelia said, shaking her head.

"Huh? Could there be some that slipped through the net?" Tsukushi asked in surprise.

Their actions were swift enough, and with Akame and Kurome guarding the water, no one should have been able to escape, right?

"Hehe, it's normal for some to slip through the net. Don't you think this is just a probing attack?"

At this moment, Mahiro stepped out of the large ship and stared at the corpses on the river without changing his expression.

However, his statement surprised the women.

Does someone really exist who would use so many lives for a feint attack or a test?

"Yes, it exists."

Shinji smiled slightly, then looked up at the night sky, or rather, gazed at a strange eagle circling above it.

Nahashu seemed to sense something as well, raising his head and looking in the same direction as Mahiro.

I saw that strangely behaving eagle.

As if noticing that they were watching them, the soaring eagle flapped its wings and flew away in fright.

"What's wrong, Yotsuba-sama?" Gin noticed that Mahiro and Nahashu seemed to be gazing at something on the horizon, but when she looked up, she couldn't see anything.

"Nothing, I just saw a delicious-looking big bird. If we plucked all its feathers and roasted it, it would taste really good, right?"

"Eh, really?! Since Lady Yotsuba wants to eat it, then let me do it!"

Tsukushi pulled out Prometheus and aimed it at the eagle fleeing in panic in the sky.

As a sniper, although her long-range shooting skills are far inferior to those of Mine and her mentor Tina, she can still easily shoot birds.

However, Mahiro stopped her.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare her life and deal with it next time."

"All right...."

Although Tsukushi didn't understand what he meant, since he had already said it, she chose to put away her pistol.

However, the eagle that Yotsuba Mahiro had spared his life landed in a secluded house a few kilometers outside the town.

Inside the house were two women, one old and one young, whose clothes were dripping wet.

Especially the young girl, because she was wearing a kimono, the wet fabric of which clung thinly to her flesh-colored skin, almost completely highlighting her graceful figure, making her a combination of beauty and sexiness.

"Luckily, we hid behind the Tengu Party and jumped ship and swam away in time. But it feels like we've let the Tengu Party down, since they're not entirely useless."

Old woman Barbara softly expressed her feelings.

"Who exactly is this person...?"

As Miaozi wrung out the moisture from her clothes, she was also deep in thought.

Their target was indeed the Minister of the Imperial Assassination Force, but the commotion just now was clearly not something that could be caused by one person alone. It seemed that many powerful individuals were hiding, but due to the cover of night, they couldn't see them clearly at all.

"If someone can easily wipe out the Tengu Clan, they're very likely at the level of the Four Demon Rakshasa..."

After muttering a few words to herself, Barbara turned her eyes to the eagle and asked, "How's it going, Chelsea? Did you see what the enemy looked like? If you dare say you didn't, I'll turn you into roast chicken!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the eagle burst out of a cloud of smoke and transformed into an adorable girl with headphones.

"Huff... It's really tiring to turn into a little bird. Luckily, I... I saw it." Chelsea immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Hmm, as expected of my disciple Barbara, you did very well. Get some rest, I'll draw their likenesses later," Barbara said approvingly.

It must be said that Chelsea's memory and eyesight are really good. She only glanced at two of them from the sky and memorized their appearances.

Then, he transformed into the appearance of those two people in front of Barbara.

"It's a kid younger than me, and the other one looks pretty young too..."

Miaozi looked at the recorded portrait and said in surprise.

The two portraits are of Nahashu, the team leader, and Yotsuba Mahiro, the team leader.

But what surprised Taeko the most was Yotsuba Mahiro's appearance. He was young and handsome, like a nobleman, and had nothing to do with an assassin. From the portrait, he looked just like Chelsea, harmless!

"Yes, that's right. These two men are putting a lot of pressure on me, especially this harmless guy! He makes me afraid to stay any longer! Even if I continue using Gaia Foundation, I'm not confident I can continue the investigation."

Chelsea pointed to the portrait of Yotsuba Mahiro and said with some annoyance.

Recalling that moment, even though the other person had a charmingly smiling face, the gaze in that smile seemed to strip her bare.

It was as if no secret could be hidden from the other person.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she even thought for a moment that she had been exposed!

Who exactly is this guy?!

"Good luck. It seems this young man is our target, the minister of the Imperial Assassination Force."

Barbara looked at the portrait Chelsea was pointing to and made a startling remark.

Both Chelsea, who was a bit loud and boisterous, and Taeko, who was the most composed, were shocked by Barbara's words.

"Huh?! Are you sure you're not seeing things? This young man is the head of the assassination squad?!"

Although Chelsea's question was very impolite, Taeko agreed with it this time.

"Instructor, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Hehe, of course I'm not mistaken. The Revolutionary Army didn't send us an accurate portrait, they only said our target is a young man around eighteen or nineteen years old. Besides this person, is there a second person on that ship who matches the target?"

"You know, ever since I was young and beautiful, my intuition has never been wrong..."

Ugh, here we go again...

However, there is some truth to what they said.

But the question is, how could the assassination minister be so young?

In Chelsea's mind, shouldn't the Minister of Assassination be a ferocious-looking guy who looks like he's not someone to mess with?

Or perhaps it should be those disgusting, bloated aristocrats.

How could he be so gentle and refined?

Or....

"Could this person be a stand-in?" Chelsea suddenly wondered.

"It's not impossible, but someone with an aura that can frighten you is definitely not an ordinary person. Remember that feeling; it's already quite good that you can see an opponent whose identity has been unknown all along."

Barbara said meaningfully.

"In that case, let's quickly tell the Revolutionary Army's spies what they look like, so they can investigate the surrounding towns thoroughly and keep a close eye on their every move."

Chelsea skillfully unwrapped the lollipop, picked it up, and said sweetly.

"...That's right, it'll be our turn to attack next time."

Miaozi stared sharply at the portrait.

Barbara, on the other hand, kept looking at her proud disciple.

To be honest, she felt uneasy, especially about Yotsuba Mahiro in the portrait, which gave her a bad feeling.

It's not just a matter of strength. You have to know that among the younger generation, no one is stronger than the girl she personally nurtured.

She didn't even take the Empire's General Esdeath seriously.
