A gigantic pillar of lightning nearly requiring two people to wrap their arms around descended from the clouds and viciously smashed toward Bulat.
Bulat understood very well just how troublesome Budo's Teigu was.
From the very beginning, he had been on guard against the changes around him.
The moment he noticed the falling lightning, he kicked off the ground and prepared to dodge to the side.
Rip.
The sound of muscles tearing rang out as Bulat let out a muffled groan.
The wound that had only recently scabbed over was directly torn open again during the intense battle.
Intense pain struck him, causing Bulat's movements to slow by just a fraction.
His left leg was directly struck by the lightning.
Blinding lightning flashed as streams of smoke rose upward.
Mine, who was providing sniper support not far away, was immediately startled.
She instantly shifted her aim to stop Budo from continuing his assault.
Budo raised an arm to block the laser as he looked gloomily toward Mine's location.
"After dealing with one, you're next, you annoying rat!"
He lightly clapped his arms together and the thunderclouds above instantly lit up.
A massive lightning storm crashed down.
Mine gritted her teeth and hurriedly got up to dodge.
Demon Armor was already covered in damage, and the cape behind it had long since disappeared.
After enduring attacks beyond its limits, the armor deactivated.
Bulat coughed out a large mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee, leaning on his sword to barely keep himself from collapsing.
The muscles in his left leg were already covered in blood.
Residual electricity spread across his body. He had basically become an electrocuted muscle freak.
Budo had temporarily blocked Mine's interference as he looked at Bulat and said in a deep voice,
"Bulat, surrender. You've already lost the ability to fight."
"Serve the Empire once more and I can spare your life."
Bulat shook his head and forced himself to stand up, tightly gripping the sword in his hand.
A strange smile appeared on his face.
"I'll never serve the Empire again. Besides, who said I lost?"
A large amount of smoke suddenly rose from the arena ruins.
A hooded figure suddenly jumped down from the spectator stands nearby.
Budo's expression froze. Just as he was about to kill the other party.
The little Emperor's voice suddenly rang out.
"General Budo, save me!"
He wanted to immediately execute the rebel, but the Emperor's safety also couldn't be ignored.
Budo subconsciously looked toward the direction the voice came from.
The only thing he saw was Chelsea making a face at him.
With a loud bang from the heavens, the protagonist made his dazzling entrance.
Bulat suddenly threw out the key to Demon Armor and shouted with all his strength,
"Shout it, Tatsumi! Use your burning..."
Before he could finish speaking, the muscles throughout Bulat's body began trembling uncontrollably.
Just as his body weakened and he nearly collapsed to the ground, an icy mechanical arm firmly supported him.
Tatsumi landed on the ground in a cool pose.
He caught the key, then violently stabbed it into the ground.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Demon Armor!!"
The massive beast appeared, instantly dispersing all the smoke on the battlefield.
It was as if the Super Danger Beast Tyrant had reappeared. Its six crimson cross-shaped beast eyes were filled with life.
Seeing the scene before him, Budo's face became black as the bottom of a pot.
Swapping fighters and coming again. They were shamelessly underhanded!
After being toyed with repeatedly, his rage had already reached its peak.
After the transformation was complete, the armor's face vented out a long stream of white air.
Tatsumi raised the Red-backed Shrike in his hand and pointed the spear tip at Budo's head.
"I'll defeat you in Big Bro's place, Budo!"
Mine stood there blankly with Pumpkin on her shoulder while watching this scene.
A slight blush flashed across her face before she shouted,
"Don't forget about me, idiot Tatsumi!"
Tatsumi glanced at Mine from the corner of his eye and nodded.
"Yeah! This time I absolutely won't let anyone get hurt again!"
Budo didn't say a single word.
His body slowly floated into the air as lightning wrapped around every part of him.
Bright yellow and pale blue electricity spread throughout the entire space, blotting out the sky.
Just as its name implied, Thunder God's Wrath, Adramelech!
Kurome sat on the railing as she looked up at the scene in surprise.
"By the way, is it really okay for us to just stand here and watch?"
Lubbock glanced at Tatsumi. Beside him was Champ, who had been pierced into a hedgehog.
Champ still had a sliver of life left in him. Lubbock didn't want him to die that easily.
Lubbock withdrew his gaze and dragged Champ as he flew upward.
"This has nothing to do with us. Leave it to Uesugi-san. Let's back off first."
Dorothea had been tied up like a rice dumpling and thrown over Apeman's shoulder as she glared at Stylish with an ugly expression.
"What the hell, Stylish you bastard!"
Stylish played with the Teigu Blood Collection in his hand, which looked like a set of fake teeth and still had strands of sparkling saliva on it.
He had just yanked it out of Dorothea's mouth and hadn't even had time to wipe it clean yet.
Stylish pushed up his glasses and rubbed the Teigu against Dorothea's clothes.
"Don't be so angry. You should know I saved your life."
"If I hadn't strongly emphasized your value, you'd already be a dead little chicken right now~"
Dorothea opened her mouth to bite Stylish as she gritted her teeth and said,
"So I should be thanking you then?"
Stylish pulled his hand back and said modestly,
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. It's all for academic research. I hope you'll cooperate properly."
Dorothea panted heavily, her face bright red.
"I'll cooperate with your XXXXXXX"
Nobody cared about her rambling as the Jaegers began retreating.
Only Wave remained standing there, silently observing the distant battle.
Kurome walked to Wave's side and quietly looked at him with her dark eyes.
"Wave, aren't we leaving?"
Wave looked thoughtful, his expression somewhat grave.
"Demon Armor. That Teigu felt like it came alive!"
"I've never felt anything like that from Grand Chariot before."
"I think that boy is very strong!"
Kurome's expression became somewhat downcast. The Jaegers and Night Raid were currently cooperating without interfering with one another.
Could this seemingly beautiful cooperative relationship really continue?
Come to think of it, even though she had fought against Night Raid for a very long time, Kurome had never once seen Akame.
Their last meeting had been when Akame defected from the Empire. After that, she had only seen her on wanted posters.
"Can Sister really become our companion?"
Looking at the dejected Kurome, Wave reached out and gently patted her shoulder.
"If your sister is really like you say, then I think in the new Empire we can definitely become good companions!"
Kurome lightly nodded after hearing that.
BolS poked his fingers together and quietly reminded them,
"Um, sorry for interrupting your conversation."
"But the lightning storm is coming."
Wave instantly snapped back to reality. The piercing sound of thunder was already close at hand.
A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead as he put on Grand Chariot, picked up Kurome, and ran.
"Thanks, BolS-san, hurry and run!"
