Chapter 244: Scythe of the Reaper

"Master, why have you come to this place?" Akame asked Lingyun with some curiosity.

"At first, I just wanted to come over and see the clashes between you and the Jaegers, but after wandering around here, I discovered some rather interesting things. I plan to resolve them before leaving!" Lingyun said.

"There is something here that could make you, Master, take action yourself?" Akame looked surprised. "Could it be that some Super Danger Beast is hidden in this place?"

"In terms of strength, that guy should be on par with a Super Danger Beast, but if it isn't handled well, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome than a Super Danger Beast!" Lingyun said. "Forget it, you can't get involved in this kind of thing for now, so you don't need to worry. Come, let me introduce you; this is your senior sister, Luo Yexi."

"Hello there, Junior Sister Akame!" Luo Yexi stepped out from the shadows and arrived in front of Akame.

Akame felt the power within Luo Yexi, which was faintly even stronger than Esdeath's, and couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder. Afterward, she nodded toward Luo Yexi: "Hello, Senior Sister!"

"By the way, Master, come and take a look at Leone's arm; her arm was severed by Senior Sister!" Akame said to Lingyun.

"Hmm?" Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly, and he then looked toward Leone, who was preparing to sneak away not far off. "That big sister who owes me money, you, where are you going?"

"Uh, well, I remembered I have some business I need to attend to!" Leone's body stiffened, and she then rubbed the back of her head with her intact left hand, laughing dryly.

Lingyun's figure flickered slightly, and in an instant, he appeared before her. This scene made everyone present jump. This kind of speed was three parts faster than Susanoo when he activated the Yasakani no Magatama after going berserk; even their naked eyes failed to capture his movement trajectory. If they hadn't just seen Lingyun standing in front of them with their own eyes, they would have even thought he had been standing there from the beginning.

A glimmer of light flashed in Leone's eyes; she discovered that she had actually managed to capture a trace of Lingyun's movement just now, which was completely impossible in the past. Recently, Leone had also noticed that her body was undergoing some unknown changes; her constitution seemed to be developing in a non-human direction. She couldn't distinguish for a moment whether this change was good or bad, so she could only silently keep it in her heart.

Lingyun's right hand rested on Leone's severed arm, and Leone was startled, immediately wanting to swing her arm to shake off Lingyun's hand. But to her horror, the moment Lingyun's hand touched her arm, she lost control of her own body. At the same time, she felt as if a warm current was continuously flowing from Lingyun's right hand into her body, and after circulating through her body once, it continuously gathered toward her right arm.

Afterward, a scene that the members of Night Raid found hard to believe occurred: on Leone's severed arm, strands of golden light circulated, and that missing severed arm was actually growing back bit by bit. After a period of time, Leone's right arm had actually grown back completely.

Lingyun let go, and Leone regained control of her body. Leone looked at her newly grown right arm in astonishment, moving her fingers slightly, only to find there was not a hint of discomfort, as if this arm had never been lost. If it weren't for the fact that the skin color was a bit pale because the arm had just grown back, everyone present would have almost thought that Leone's right arm had never been severed by Esdeath at all.

"This, how is this possible!" Lubbock looked at Leone's right arm and couldn't help but exclaim.

Najenda looked at Leone curiously moving her right arm, and a glimmer of light also flashed in her eyes. One had to know, she had lost an arm and an eye. Although she had always acted as if she didn't take it to heart, as a woman, how could she not care about such things? If Lingyun could also heal her, that would absolutely be for the best. However, she also knew that this matter was not as simple as Leone's; Leone losing her right arm was only something that happened a short time ago, while her own hand and eye had been lost for a long time. The difficulty of repairing these two was not on the same level.

"So amazing, to be able to make Leone's grow back in such a short time!" Mine walked up to Leone and curiously poked Leone's arm.

"That's great, this way, our combat power won't have any losses." Najenda was also beaming with joy.

"Master, what was that guy you mentioned earlier who can be on par with a Super Danger Beast?" Seeing that Leone's arm had been repaired by Lingyun, Akame began to ask about what Lingyun had just said.

"You should have investigated it, right? By Bolic's side, there is a Teigu User who uses a scythe Teigu!" Lingyun said.

"That is indeed the case, but in our investigation, that Teigu User's strength is not particularly powerful; at least for Akame, he is the type to be killed in a second!" Leone moved her arm and spoke up.

"That guy named Holimaka is indeed not a troublesome guy; what's troublesome is that scythe-type Teigu in his hands!" Lingyun said.

"The scythe-type Teigu 'Adayus', because that scythe-type Teigu is one of the lost Teigu, we don't have much data, but from the intelligence we've collected, this Teigu doesn't have anything unusual!" Lubbock spread his hands.

"This Teigu has another name, called the Scythe of the Reaper!" Lingyun said indifferently.

"Reaper? Master, are you talking about the Reaper?" Akame's expression suddenly became tense.

Regarding these two words, she had a deep memory of them. When she was still in the Imperial Assassination Squad, she had once encountered a mission related to the Reaper; that was to go and wipe out a village that worshipped the Reaper. When the villagers in the village faced the encirclement and suppression by the Army, they summoned a Reaper. That battle could be described as incomparably tragic, and everyone who went with her was buried in that place. If Lingyun hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid there would be no her in this world.

In that battle, she truly experienced what Lingyun's fury was; the entire mountain village was completely razed to the ground under the exchange between Lingyun and that Reaper. After she was brought home by Lingyun, she lay in bed for a full half a year before recovering. Later, she also learned quite a bit from Lingyun's mouth about the Reaper and the Underworld King of the end. Now hearing Lingyun mention the two words "Reaper", she couldn't help but become tense.

"Reaper? Is he very powerful?" Mine asked with some confusion.

"Not very powerful, but terrifying! In this world, there are no more than five people who can contend with such a terrifying existence," Akame said.

"Are, are you kidding?" Mine's tone was full of disbelief.

"I am not kidding, you will know when the time comes!" Akame said indifferently. "Master, if it is really as you said, that weapon is the Scythe of the Reaper, then how are we going to eliminate that Teigu User when the time comes? If we fight inside the Town, the aftermath of the battle will likely affect the entire small town!"

"Eliminating the Teigu User is not a difficult task; that thing will only activate after that person named Holimaka dies. As long as you lure him out of the town, it will be fine!" Lingyun said.

"Lure him out of the town?" Najenda said with a frown. "Fine, this matter is not very difficult; leave it to me!"

"That's good, I will meet up with you outside the town when the time comes," Lingyun nodded and said.
