"Kill!!" The people surrounding Kaede couldn't help but begin to growl, a dark red halo appearing in the depths of their eyes.
Even the seven people in the trees found it difficult to control the impulse in their hearts to rush in and slaughter everyone.
"Leave! Fall back!" Nahash fought down the impulse within him and issued his order.
"Yes." The others had already been struggling to endure it, and upon hearing their captain's order, they immediately agreed. As for Akame, she finally followed her teammates and retreated. Kaede was the strongest existence in her heart; she would definitely be fine, wouldn't she?
"What exactly was that?" Finally, once they were out of the range of that impulse, Pony patted her chest and asked.
"I'm afraid it's Akame's sister's 'Teigu'," Green said, adjusting his glasses.
"But what use is a Teigu like that? To strengthen the enemy's killing intent?" Cornelia frowned, a bit puzzled. Her long golden hair draped over her back, and she carried the air of a Big Sister.
"There must be a purpose to it. We should now..." Nahash hesitated, then looked at Akame and finally said, "Let's wait here for a while. I believe Akame's sister will take care of everyone."
"Hmm." The others nodded. Although it was their first time meeting Akame's sister, it was strange that they held absolute confidence that Kaede could handle those people.
Perhaps, in their subconscious, they had already been conquered by the aura Kaede was exposing at that moment.
In fact, the situation was not much different from what they imagined.
The group that had fallen into a frenzied killing intent did not slaughter each other, but instead rushed toward Kaede as if they had no regard for their own lives.
The smile on her face continued to widen.
"Kill!" Without the slightest intention of dodging, Kaede—no, it should be said, Kaede, controlled by the residual resentment of the Blood Demon Dragon King—charged straight ahead.
Instantly, the scene created the illusion of a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Kaede, as the tiger, hunted continuously; with every swing of her blade, fresh blood splattered as she struck.
And those people seemed to have no fear; even while being slaughtered like this, they didn't know how to run away. They seemed to only know how to rush forward and kill the person in front of them!
In fact, was Kaede uninjured? No. In reality, Kaede had already been struck by many blades, but strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed from those wounds, and the wounds were continuously healing.
As for the blood on Kaede, sorry, that was not Kaede's blood.
Time passed minute by minute, and here, the ground was already piled high with corpses.
Finally, someone seemed to wake up, and looking at the scene before them, they were stunned.
They saw corpses strewn everywhere, blood flowing across the ground, and in the middle of it all stood a smiling young girl. Her eyes seemed to radiate a glow, and beneath that glow were inhuman pupils.
"Demon, demon!" the remaining people muttered, their bodies trembling.
By this time, Kaede had regained consciousness, and naturally, the ability that incited impulses in others had vanished.
Watching the people fleeing in one direction, stumbling and crawling in their terror, Kaede chose not to pursue them.
At this moment, Kaede looked at the corpses surrounding her, then at her own hair matted with blood, her blood-soaked body, and finally settled her gaze on her own hand—the hand gripping the hilt of her blade.
"This shingu..."
"Heh!"
"This shingu!" Kaede did not pursue those people because she had no strength left; her bones felt as if they were melting.
This wasn't just a feeling, but a fact. If it had continued for a few more minutes, perhaps all of Kaede's bones would have started to melt, and then Kaede would have lost her life, and that shingu would have returned to that cup!
This shingu was just that overbearing. This was a blood sacrifice, a forced blood sacrifice—a forced blood sacrifice born from the resentment of the Blood Demon Dragon King.
After the first blood sacrifice was completed, Kaede suddenly understood this shingu—no, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a Teigu now—in her mind. She knew its effects.
"What a... disgusting effect." Yes, after knowing its abilities, Kaede came to loathe it.
In fact, its abilities had already appeared quite a bit in this battle: the ability that prevented blood from flowing out even when there were wounds on the body, and the ability where every time she eliminated someone with the blade in her hand, her wounds would heal even faster.
As for inciting killing intent in those nearby, this was not an ability Kaede could control; it activated automatically every time a blood sacrifice was performed.
Yes, this was merely the beginning; the appetite of the strongest species was not so small.
It could only be said that Kaede barely qualified; she persisted and completed the blood sacrifice. The people before had also initiated a blood sacrifice, but they hadn't even completed the first one, so naturally, they could not obtain its recognition.
However, it had to be said that that group's luck was terrible. Why say that? Because the direction they fled was where the Elite Group was located.
At that moment, the seven members of the Elite Group waiting there naturally wouldn't be polite when they saw them. Even with the previous formation, the seven of them could have handled it, let alone just these few people, who also looked like they had completely lost all will to fight and were only thinking of running away.
They didn't even look back when they saw the Elite Group draw their weapons, as if there were savage beasts behind them.
Nahash frowned, and then seeing that those people were already approaching, he didn't have time to think much and issued an order.
"Kill!!"
Soon, those people who had absolutely no intention of resisting were eliminated by the seven members of the Elite Group.
"No intention of resisting at all? What exactly happened over there?" Guy frowned and asked.
"It should be over there," Nahash said.
Just as Nahash's voice fell, Akame rushed quickly toward Kaede's direction.
"Follow her," Nahash frowned, and finally said.
"This is the scent of fresh blood." Before even approaching the area, the few of them had already caught the scent.
"Akame!" Finally, they saw Akame standing there, her body seemingly frozen, and they quickly arrived at her side.
They saw Akame staring blankly in that direction. The group followed Akame's gaze, and what came into view were those corpses, and a figure standing atop them.
This figure seemed to notice their arrival, turned her head, and a pair of inhuman, crimson eyes directly reflected into their minds.
"Akame?" Kaede's gaze finally settled on Akame.
"Yes, it's me, Kaede." As she said this, Akame rushed forward. To be honest, she was truly frightened, terrified by this scene of an Asura hell.
"Don't come over, it's dirty," Kaede said, looking at her own black clothes soaked through, her black hair matted together, and her body covered in blood.
As for Akame, how could she care about such things? The person before her was her sister, who had handed over the opportunity to join the Elite Group to her.
However, Kaede ultimately did not dodge, and after eight years of separation, the two sisters finally embraced each other once more.
"Whoa!" Seeing this scene, the six people over there also snapped back from the hell-like scene.
"Akame's sister, how nice~" Cornelia said.
"Mm-hmm, yeah." Chikushi also nodded, and that pair of massive assets actually jiggled with her movement, even though she had only nodded, moving slightly.
"Pervert!" Pony caught sight of this out of the corner of her eye, shook her head, puffed out her cheeks, turned her head away, and muttered.
And beside them, Green's glasses were constantly flashing with light, though no one knew what he was thinking. Next to him, Guy's eyes were already revealing lecherous light, his mouth constantly muttering about "sister flowers."
As for the captain, Nahash, he gripped his Water Dragon Sword tightly, his gaze filled with wariness as he looked at Kaede.
