Chapter 453
But that being said.
But facing death, Esdeath was still a little unwilling, after all, she had not yet had a love affair with Ajuromaru.
But things have come to this point.
Everything is over!
The reason is just because she is not strong enough...
The previous words were like a farewell.
The flaming blade continued to enlarge in her sight, and through the firelight she seemed to foresee her own death...
But in the next moment.
A sharp blade suddenly blocked in front of her, and a dazzling sky-blue light blade bloomed on the blade, blocking this fatal blow for her!
When the blades collided, a clanging sound came, accompanied by the swaying firelight reflected in Esdeath's eyes.
And she instinctively stopped her body, jumped back to a relatively safe area, and stood firm and looked at her original position.
Until this moment.
She saw the person clearly.
In her sight, she saw a figure that she had not expected to appear after a space distortion.
The person who came was the mysterious masked man!
Even Esdeath was a little surprised to see the person coming, "I didn't expect that in the end, it would be you who saved me..."
But to this.
The masked man did not respond at all, but just held the blade tightly, stepped back a step, and turned on the virtualization again.
This sudden change made Akame frown, and she couldn't help but ask coldly, "Uchiha Madara, why did you stop me?"
Even Tatsumi, who was not far away, was also a little puzzled when he saw this.
But the masked man answered calmly with a low and magnetic voice, "Because of interests.
If you let you kill Esdeath, then the balance will be broken, which is not the situation I want to see."
Hearing this, Esdeath also realized something.
If she died, it would be almost impossible for the masked man to take away the divine tool, which means that Night Raid would have three divine tools!
He will have absolute power then.
The masked man is alone, and even if he gets the only remaining divine tool, it will be useless...
Only if he lives can he maintain balance.
But to be precise.
Now he is alive, it is better for the masked man than dead!
Although he understood this, it still did not prevent Esdeath from grinning and saying with a smile, "Uchiha Madara?
This time I owe you a favor, and I will pay you back if I have a chance."
As he spoke, he held the blade in his hand again.
Staring at the current situation.
On the other side, Tatsumi looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help but tighten the blade in his hand.
As for Akahime's mind, Ajuromaru's reminder rang out, "You don't have much time left. You will be burned to ashes in the flames in five minutes at most!"
Hearing this reminder.
Akahime also frowned visibly.
She still remembered the fate of the evil ghost, but she was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of meaningless death.
Continuing the fight now was obviously disadvantageous.
Even Esdeath had no intention of continuing the fight. If they really had to continue the fight, then the masked man who was in the best condition and did not know the real details would undoubtedly be the final winner.
The atmosphere at the moment fell into a brief silence.
Until a moment later.
It was the masked man who broke the silence first, and only the low voice came from under his mask.
"Let's stop the battle this time, but don't dream of killing Esdeath in the night raid if you attack her.
Then I will choose to ally with her temporarily."
The voice fell.
No one refuted.
Only Esdeath followed closely and said, "It seems that we can only stop here for now."
Although Tatsumi and the others did not speak, silence was a silent compromise.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, the space around the masked man twisted, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, Esdeath also turned around and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
Watching the two people leaving one after another.
Akahime breathed a sigh of relief and directly released the Shikai. The flames on the blade in her hand gradually extinguished and she put it into the scabbard.
Sighed.
"It's a pity that I couldn't kill Esdeath directly."
However, Tatsumi, who came over from the side, comforted her, "That's also unavoidable, and you can get the divine tool, which is already the best result."
Akahime did not deny this.
As for Tatsumi, he was more concerned about the other people in the night raid, and immediately asked in his heart, "Ajuromaru, can you help me sense the location of other companions?"Facing the inquiry, after a simple perception, the Ajuromaru in the sword calmly replied, "There are several nearby..."
After a simple explanation, the location of the night raiders was truthfully informed.
Tatsumi turned around and said, "Leone is fighting with someone to the west of you, Akahime, so I'll ask you to go over and support him.
As for me, I'll go to the north to support my brother and the others first!"
"Then be careful." Akahime didn't say much, just gave a warning, and turned to the west.
Seeing this, Tatsumi also turned around and quickly chased in the direction of Brand and the others under the guidance of Ajuromaru.
...
At the same time.
In the depths of the forest, a fierce battle broke out.
Shi Shang was not far behind, and in his sight, his only three remaining experimental subjects were fighting with the night raid killers who attacked.
And the three surviving experimental subjects.
They were also strengthened, the nose, eyes, and ears.
Among them, Brand held the servant tool and fought with the eye, but he seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
But even so.
The experimental subject with enhanced eyes was almost killed several times, and Rab and Mayin, who were not far away, were constantly suppressed by the experimental subjects as opponents.
Feeling the changes in the body.
Brand also noticed the changes in the body and hurriedly reminded, "Leave here quickly, my body is beginning to be paralyzed, this may be poison..."
And Rab and the other two behind him also began to react, and Rab was even controlling the imperial tool.
While releasing the silk thread to resist the attack, he responded with some confusion.
"My right hand is also beginning to be a little numb... But the question is, when did the poison come in? Is it mixed in the air?"
Hearing this, Shishang, who was standing not far away with his hands folded on his chest and looking at everything in front of him elegantly, grinned and proudly told several people the answer.
"That's right. This is one of my special skills. It's a super-powerful paralysis poison prepared in a fashionable way. It's colorless and odorless, and can spread through the air... If we hadn't been running away to disperse the paralysis poison, you would have been paralyzed and lying on the ground by the time you noticed it."
