"Hurry up!!"
After entering lion mode, Leone, whose physical fitness had increased significantly, took the lead in the attack.
"What a huge movement, the person there is expected to be Ron!"
"So we have to get him out before he's trapped!"
"Mine, support will be delivered by you."
Behind Leone, Bulat reminded, who was wearing armor.
"The number of enemies is large, and there are more than just a group of Teigu users."
"So after rescuing Ron, we will retreat immediately!"
"Understood!"
Mine's breath changed, who could barely keep up with everyone's speed, and she suffered a headache.
Two days have passed since the attack on night raid headquarters.
Because the attack was very sudden, they all fell into a toxic gas attack because it was unexpected.
Although in the end, thanks to Bulat, Akame, and others, they barely escaped the encirclement, their condition was still somewhat bad.
Especially, Lubbock and Sheele are still in a coma and have not recovered yet.
"Damn! How did that man Ron return at this time!"
"If he had returned after a day, I would have recovered completely!"
"Calm down, Mine."
Although she did not possess a Teigu, Najenda, who followed everyone and moved together, spoke.
"It's not a coincidence."
"It was supposed that the Imperial side received information about Ron's presence in the northern battlefield, so they chose this time to launch a surprise attack."
In fact, Ron's speed is already considered slow.
According to Najenda's calculations, under normal circumstances, Ron was supposed to return to the night raid headquarters a day or two earlier. At that time, they were still fleeing and being chased, and their combat strength was not present.
If Ron had returned hastily at that time, they might not even have enough strength to support.
"By the way, the enemies are fewer than expected."
Najenda looked around her, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"Did something happen? I didn't encounter any enemies on my way."
"Maybe they all went to trap Ron."
Mine guessed: "You also know the strength of that man."
"If it weren't for that strange toxic gas attack, these people wouldn't have..."
Boom!
Boom Boom!
Boom Boom Boom!
Before Mine finished her speech, loud explosions suddenly echoed from afar. Amid this terrifying roar, the entire forest ground began to shake slightly.
"What happened?!"
Mine, who almost fell due to the ground trembling, adjusted her position and raised her head to look in the direction of the sound. In the next moment, huge ice balls fell from the sky slowly, making her eyes widen.
"?"
What the hell is this!
"It is Esdeath!"
Compared to Mine, who showed no reaction, Najenda, who had seen this scene before, looked a little ugly.
"These huge ice balls are definitely made by her!"
"How is this possible?!"
Mine involuntarily denied.
"Aren't she in the northern battlefield?"
"She can't quickly return from that side to destroy us!"
"There's something wrong with that."
Without refuting Mine's words, Najenda was also confused at that moment.
After Ron's join, the night raid put a lot of pressure on the empire. But compared to the northern tribes, it is clear that the tribes are more important.
Unless Honest was seized by a brain spasm, it would be impossible to recapture Esdeath at this stage.
"Anyway, we have to go and take a look."
Najenda instinctively touched her mechanical arm, and made a decision.
"Even if Esdeath returns, we can't abandon Ron."
The huge ice ball that Najenda misunderstood was, of course, made by Ron.
Of course, he launched a powerful attack, and naturally, he wouldn't deal with Kurome and Dr. Stylish.
"Is this your last trump card?"
"A very dangerous type, this momentum is stronger than I thought."
Ron looked at the skeleton monster standing nearby, which was twenty or thirty meters tall, waved his hand, and dropped the ice ball into the sky.
"But only to this extent, this is not enough."
"Death Tagool!"
Kurome Ignoring Ron's provocation, she ordered Death Tagool, who was standing nearby her and Dr. Stylish.
"Crush it!"
Roar!
A loud growl echoed, and the blue energy ball gathered in Death Tagool's mouth.
In the next second, a beam of blue energy shot toward the sky and rushed toward the huge ice ball that was falling slowly.
Boom!
An intense roar continued from the sky.
Under the pressure of this extremely dangerous full attack, the huge ice ball began to constantly explode, turning into powder and floating in the air.
"It succeeded!"
She wiped the blood flowing from her mouth, and Kurome's tense expression relaxed slightly. Since the start of the battle, Ron had given her a strong feeling of oppression.
His movements' strange speed, as well as his silent stealth attacks, plus the huge ice ball he just summoned, made her feel on the verge of death.
So she had no choice but to summon her doll, Death Tagool, which was also her last trump card.
Therefore, if Death Tagool couldn't stop Ron, she was truly helpless.
