Chapter 232: The Death of Fashion

"Clang, clang, clang!" Tobi used the sharp blade extending from his hand to block several of Akame's attacks in succession, after which a hint of an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

"So this is the trump card of Night Raid? Without the help of One Cut Killer, your strength is nothing more than this! I really find it hard to believe why this blade would acknowledge you!" Tobi said with a somewhat twisted face.

Akame did not answer him; she simply darted backward and slowly sheathed Murasame.

"What, are you afraid? You even put your blade away!" Tobi mocked loudly.

"You are already dead," Akame said calmly.

"Wh-what, when?" Tobi looked at his own body, which was falling apart, and said with an expression of disbelief, but unfortunately, no one would give him an answer.

On the other side, although Bulat had been suppressing Jia Sang, he was unable to inflict any effective damage on him. Sheele, who held Cross Tail, was blocked by a large number of infantry and could not provide support to Bulat.

"It's useless. My body has been modified by Mr. Stylish. Your Incursio is completely unable to cause me any harm!" Jia Sang laughed loudly.

"Don't get cocky too early!" Taking advantage of the moment when the enemies around her were cleared by Leone, Mine suddenly raised the Pumpkin in her hands, and yellow light continuously gathered at the muzzle. The moment Mine pulled the trigger, a beam of yellow light blasted toward Jia Sang. All the infantry who dared to block the path were instantly vaporized.

"Oh no, I can't block it!" Watching the light that instantly rushed before him, Jia Sang's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to dodge to the side. But it was already too late; the yellow light instantly engulfed him.

"Tch, is that all?" Mine rested the Pumpkin on her shoulder and gave a tsundere "tch."

"Ha, an opening!" At the moment Mine was distracted, a black figure suddenly darted out from the jungle, the dagger in his hand thrusting straight toward Mine.

Leone, who was beside Mine, suddenly appeared on the path of the assassin, intending to blast the assassin away. However, the moment the assassin's figure approached her, a flash of confusion crossed her eyes, then she took a deep breath, and after that, a violent roar suddenly erupted from her mouth. The terrifying sound wave swept Doroma's body away directly, even plowing a trench into the ground in front of Leone.

Leone's roar gave everyone present a huge fright. Looking at the deep trench in front of Leone, Lubbock couldn't help but quietly swallow his saliva; he was clearly scared out of his wits. Ear, who was beside Dr. Stylish, even lay directly on the ground, with faint traces of blood flowing from her ears.

"This is... Lion Roar!?" Akame looked at Leone with a shocked expression.

"Leone, why did you yell so loudly? You scared me so much I couldn't even stand!" Lubbock said with some dissatisfaction, then his body slumped directly to the ground.

"This is... poison?" Akame used Murasame to support her body, half-kneeling on the ground, barely managing not to collapse.

As for the others in Night Raid, except for Bulat who was wrapped in armor, everyone else fell to the ground, unable to move.

"The operation plan is a success. Now, we just need to capture them all!" A flash of surprise crossed Dr. Stylish's eyes.

Bulat looked at his companions who had fallen to the ground and then at the Fashion Squad surrounding them; a flash of difficulty crossed his eyes. Although his strength was great, relying on himself alone, he had no way to protect everyone in Night Raid from so many people!

Fortunately, at this moment, Najenda arrived just in time with reinforcements. As a humanoid Teigu who had lived for a thousand years, Susanoo's strength was unquestionable. He and Bulat joined forces and quickly wiped out Dr. Stylish's private squad. Coordinating with Najenda in the sky, they easily forced him into a desperate situation.

Under these circumstances, Stylish had to activate his final resort, injecting himself with a vial of strange blood. After devouring Eye, Nose, and Ear, he transformed into a giant humanoid artificial Danger Beast.

After transforming, Dr. Stylish, relying on his massive size, immense strength, and tough body, actually turned the tables and suppressed Bulat and Susanoo.

"This is a bit bad! If the commotion is too big, it might attract the others from the Jaegers. Fighting under these circumstances is very disadvantageous for us!" Najenda said with a frown.

Now that she had the new Teigu, Susanoo, she could not use other Teigu; otherwise, she could have used Mine's Pumpkin to provide long-range support to Bulat and Susanoo.

"Boss, I'll go help!" Akame, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up.

"Akame, you..." Leone looked at the rising Akame with disbelief.

"It's just some minor poison; I have already expelled it from my body." Akame gripped the Murasame in her hand. "I'll go over and check on Bulat and the others."

After speaking, Akame turned directly into an afterimage and darted toward the center of the battlefield.

"Ding, ding, ding!" Akame, having arrived at the battlefield, held Murasame and launched a series of attacks against Dr. Stylish, but they were all blocked by him.

"It's useless. Even with the One Cut Killer ability of Murasame, if you can't hit me, it won't have any effect!" Dr. Stylish said with a laugh, both large hands grabbing toward Akame simultaneously. "Let you, the number one trump card of Night Raid, become the nourishment for my evolution. This is true fashion!"

Akame's figure flickered, easily dodging Dr. Stylish's grab: "You're right. Even Murasame, if it doesn't cut someone, cannot exert any effect! So, I have never thought about relying on this Murasame forever!"

Akame flicked her hand and threw the Murasame in her hand away. Murasame spun in mid-air and stuck into a rock.

"Boss, what does Akame mean by this?" Seeing that Akame had actually abandoned the Murasame in her hand, Lubbock asked Najenda beside him with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know either, but Akame must have her reasons for doing this!" Najenda shook her head.

"No, look, at Akame's waist, there is another blade!" Leone suddenly said.

"Let me show you the ultimate technique I learned from my master!" Akame's body leaped upward violently and slowly drew the Samurai Sword from her waist.

When Akame leaped up, in the sky opposite her, a blood-red full moon was hanging high in the sky, and in her blood-red pupils, this blood moon was clearly reflected.

"Th-this is?" Looking at Akame in mid-air, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes. In their eyes, behind Akame, a blood moon identical to the moon in the sky had actually appeared.

"Blood Moon, Funeral!" Akame's hand gently brushed over the Samurai Sword in her hand, and then she slashed out. A blood-red blade aura swept out from her Samurai Sword, striking directly at Dr. Stylish, whose upper body was embedded in the head of the giant Danger Beast.

Dr. Stylish only felt an extremely sharp aura crushing down from the sky, and then it passed through his body. And what the members of Night Raid saw was the blood moon behind Akame, at the moment she slashed her blade, turning into a beam of light that merged into the blade aura, dyeing the entire blade aura blood-red. Dr. Stylish's tough body was like paper under the blade aura, directly pierced through by it.

"How could I, just die here like this? I, I still have many experiments that I haven't done, haven't finished..." Dr. Stylish coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his upper body and the head of the artificial Danger Beast slowly separated, his vision began to blur, and finally, he fell into total darkness.

"Akame, that move just now, what exactly was it?" As soon as Akame landed, Leone, who could barely move her body, leaned over to her side and asked curiously.

"My master taught it to me!" Akame reached out and pulled the Murasame from the rock, answering.

However, when her gaze swept over Leone's body, a flash of doubt crossed her eyes. She knew how powerful the paralysis toxin released by that weird scientist was; even she had used the special method Lingyun gave her to force the toxin out. But looking at Leone's state, and then looking at the others who were still unable to move, she always felt something was not quite right. Although Lionelle could greatly enhance the user's physical abilities, it shouldn't be this exaggerated!

"Boss, you're finally back! This is the helper you mentioned, right?" Lubbock looked curiously at Susanoo standing beside Najenda.

"Humanoid Teigu, Speed of Lightning—Susanoo. This is the Teigu that the headquarters assigned to me to protect my safety when I went to the Revolutionary Army headquarters." Najenda introduced. "In addition, we have another helper, but she is out on a temporary mission. However, with her abilities, she should be back very soon!"

"Boss, introduce me to this Teigu of yours!" Leone looked at Najenda with a smile.

"Let's go to the new base first. Since the enemy was able to find this place, it means it is no longer safe here!" Najenda turned and walked toward the direction of the base.

The members of Night Raid who could move helped those who could not, following Najenda as they walked deep into the jungle.
