"Hey, father-in-law, you look so badly injured, do you want me to send you off?"
Just as Gozuki turned around and took two steps, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Even Gozuki, with his incredibly strong will, had a ghostly illusion at this moment. The extreme shock made this cold-blooded man, who would remain calm under any circumstances, stiffen all over. His face, still stained with blood and unshaven, turned mechanically.
"Why are you still alive! Impossible… impossible…"
With a look of horror and disbelief, Gozuki felt his mouth dry, and he subconsciously muttered to himself.
Looking at Sora, who was standing opposite him as if nothing had happened despite the curse poison having taken effect, Gozuki felt his worldview beginning to crumble.
Murasame's curse had failed, how could such a thing be possible!
But the facts were right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it!
"Why am I still alive? Since father-in-law, you want to know so badly, I'll tell you."
Looking at Gozuki, who seemed to be racking his brains, Sora grinned and continued:
"Because—"
"I am the strongest!!!"
Although he didn't release any aura, the unparalleled arrogance on Sora's body soared to the heavens, making Gozuki instinctively take a few steps back.
Murasame's curse was indeed strong, and almost no human could withstand it. But Sora was not just a human. Although most of his power was sealed, the fact that he was the ruler of a world meant that nothing in this world could curse him!
Although he occasionally acted foolishly, Sora was not brainless. If he didn't have some confidence, would he risk his life like this?
Under Gozuki's shocked expression, the curse symbols covering Sora's body gradually faded and disappeared…
No, not disappeared, but seeped into Sora's body, merging with him!
When he traveled the continent with Esdeath, Sora had collected a lot of information about curses, but this stuff had long been lost, and only the Teigu Murasame retained the last one. Previously, Sora said he was interested in Murasame, but what he was really interested in was the curse within Murasame.
Not only could it curse any enemy who was hit, but it also had another powerful ability. In the original story, Akame-chan relied on this ability to defeat the invincible super S queen Esdeath!
Such an interesting and powerful thing, with Sora's greedy nature, he naturally wanted to get his hands on it!
Obviously, his goal had been achieved now.
And Gozuki finally came back to his senses from the endless shock, took a deep breath, and his expression was extremely complex.
"Although they are just tools, they were cultivated with my countless efforts. If you wanted to take them away before, I wouldn't have agreed, even if you were the so-called strongest in the empire!"
"But now, you have that qualification!"
There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but more than that, it was admiration. When Gozuki said this, it meant he had completely acknowledged Sora.
"Hahaha, father-in-law, it's great that you can understand."
"Don't worry, I only want Akame-chan and Kurome, I have no interest in the other three kids."
Seeing that Gozuki had finally come around, Sora was quite happy. If he still wanted to fight with him, he would have to take some tough measures.
Well, for example, letting the little Mez at home assassinate Gozuki, the legendary father-daughter battle seems like a great idea!
Well, this guy's evilness is endless…
"Hmph!"
A cold snort, just when he had started to feel a bit of awe for this guy, it was all ruined by that "father-in-law."
Not in the mood to stay here any longer, Gozuki turned around and prepared to leave.
However, after taking two steps, Gozuki stopped again, with a look of hesitation and uncertainty, but he seemed to have finally made up his mind and said:
"Kid, don't let Mez down, take good care of her!"
Without waiting for Sora's answer, Gozuki left without looking back.
Looking at the desolate back of the king of the dark world at this moment, a strange light flashed in Sora's eyes.
"Hehe… Mez is living a very 'happy' life every day now…"
Muttering to himself, fortunately, Gozuki had already walked away, otherwise, he might have risked his life to perish together with this bastard!
The troublesome matters have finally come to an end, and it seems that things are about to begin over there. Cute little Akame, let me properly appreciate your grace and charm…
Watching the boys and girls at the foot of the mountain finding their respective targets, Sora's lips curled into a wicked smile…
…
Following the instructions in the letter, the beautiful long-haired leader, Cornelia, was the first to arrive at the small lake an find her target. Surprisingly, it was a middle-aged man who looked very much like Gozuki!
"Target confirmed, he somewhat resembles Father…"
With a hint of seriousness in her expression, Cornelia murmured to herself.
"Don't come any closer, even if you're a woman, I'll cut you down!"
In contrast to Cornelia's calmness, the man was extremely nervous, holding a large machete in front of him, fearfully shouting to stop her.
"Change, Crushing King!!"
As the leader of the girls, trained by Gozuki for many years, Cornelia's abilities were naturally outstanding.
Without much hesitation, she extended her right hand and activated the ability of her Shingu, Crushing King. Instantly, her slender right hand was covered by a peculiar gauntlet. Her long legs sprang into action, and her body shot towards the man like a cannonball.
Crack!!! Splat!!!
Under the immense strength of her right hand, the man's machete shattered and her fair hand plunged into his chest, directly crushing his heart…
"Mission accomplished, it was simpler than I imagined, that's great."
"Everyone, do your best!"
Naked, her beautiful body immersed in the lake, with a man's head placed on the shore, Cornelia washed the blood off herself while praying for her companions.
Unbeknownst to the girl, the unintended "benefits" she was giving were being greedily received a shameless guy in the distance…
…
As Cornelia dressed again, Sora reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Looking in other directions, the perverted bespectacled guy, Green, successfully lured his target into a trap by throwing a gold coin on the ground, then used his whip-like Shingu, "Sidewinder," to strangle the target to death and hang him on a tree, leaving Sora speechless.
The lustful big guy, Guy, without his usual carefree demeanor, crouched on the ground, grabbed a handful of soil, and sniffed it. Seemingly discovering something, he activated his Shingu, Rare Suit, and gradually merged into the earth, disappearing.
The most exaggerated was the cool and artistic youth, Najasho. As the No.1 leader among the seven, Gozuki's trial for him was also quite brutal and direct—dozens of vicious criminals armed with swords, just kill them all!
With absolute confidence in his strength and his inherently aloof and cold personality, Najasho had no intention of using any strategy from the start. He directly activated his Shingu, "Water-Dragon Sword," and his already sharp aura surged several times, even surprising Sora, who was watching from afar.
The result was predictable. Najasho, pumped up, slaughtered all around him. His elegant movements and cold demeanor—thank goodness the girls didn't see this, or they might have been swayed from Sora's market!
Three minutes later, all the criminals were sent to meet the great Marx. As the time limit arrived, Najasho became listless, looking pale and overexerted.
Sora breathed a small sigh of relief and cast a disdainful glance at the guy. So, he's only good for three minutes, huh…
