Chapter 31: Night Raid Vs The Jaegers - Part 2
Wave, who was still fighting against two assassins, saw the sight of his teammate falling from beginning to end. He shouted angrily as his body exploded with alarming strength, he instantly struck at the two assassins, who were shocked by the sudden increase in power and speed. Wave managed to throw the two assassins away from him then charged toward the injured Dr Stylish.
Susanoo landed near Stylish preparing to land the finishing blow when he suddenly sensed danger approaching him, Susanoo turned around and saw Wave near him. Wave punched Susanoo right in the face, shooting him into the rocks. He then proceeded to carry Dr Stylish away.
At the same time, The three assassins fighting against the giant worked together to take down the beast. Sai used the water to distract the creature, while Kenshi used his flute to enhance Lubbock's physical strength. Lubbock used his trump card and weaved his wires around the beast body and with the addition of the physical enhancement, he pulled the wires with all of his strength, cutting the beast into pieces.
The three assassins were about to celebrate their victory. When suddenly, a blade stabbed through Kenshi's neck, the other two were shocked by the sight of their friend. Kurome stood right behind him when no one noticed her. She sneaked near the one who seemed an easy target for her.
Kurome pulled her sword out and smiled at the other two assassins. She then immediately started running away. The two assassins froze only for a second before shouting angrily before sending their projectile attacks toward her.
Bols, in the distance, saw Kurome's sneak attack and retreat, he immediately pointed his weapon toward the two assassins' attacks and fired. His fire bullets accurately travelled and intercepted the attacks. Akame saw Bols ignoring her, so she made use of the opportunity and stabbed toward him, but to her surprise, Bols blocked her stab with a metal guard in his palm. He then retreated and pointed his weapon at her before firing again.
This commotion didn't go unnoticed by the others, Tatsumi and Gato who just recovered from Wave blow saw the death of Kenshi. Gato's eyes turned red, seeing his brother dying. He angrily shouted as he threw his axes toward Kurome.
Meanwhile, Natala, who was fighting against Leone, managed to chop off her arm cleanly, when he saw Kurome getting attacked, he immediately threw Leone to the side and moved toward his master. And just when the axes were about to hit Kurome, he appeared in front of her and blocked both of them.
Kurome, seeing things play like this, turned around and raised her katana with an evil smile on her face. Kenshi's corpse didn't have the chance to become cold before it turned into another corpse doll.
The sight of their teammate dying then turning into a corpse doll enraged the Nightraid to no end. Kurome made use of this chance to move toward Bols with Natala, while at the same time sending a signal for her gunner to come back. Similarly, Wave carried dr Stylish and moved closer to Bols.
Akame, who was angry and still grieving the loss of her teammate, saw all the Jaegers charging toward her, cursed internally and retreated. She couldn't afford to be surrounded by all the remaining enemies at the same time.
Lubbock didn't want to allow the enemy to use their friend's corpse to fight them. He used his wires to cut the body to pieces avoiding an unnecessary and painful fight. He then stared angrily at the Jaegers.
Mine, who was busy with the gunner so far, didn't know what happened, but when the gunner escaped, she came closer and realized what was going on. She pointed her rifle at Kurome and shot a powerful beam of energy.
Bols noticed the incoming beam of energy, he moved in front of Kurome and shot at the beam with his flame weapon. An explosion rang, pushing all the Jaegers back. When the dust cleared the Jaegers, all were fine, but Bols's weapon got destroyed.
The Night Raid glared murderously at the Jaegers who were beaten up. Currently, only Wave and Kurome were still able to fight. The fight has been going on for nearly twenty minutes. The Night Raid lost one of their members, and another one lost an arm. Aside from these two casualties, their members were still okay. As for Jaegers, no one died, but they were already exhausted, and two of them were not able to continue fighting.
The situation was grim looking for the Jaegers, and they had no chance of winning. Bols thought about it a little then whispered to his friends "Guys, do you still remember what my trump card is? I explained it when general Esdeath formed our team."
The other three Jaegers nodded; they understood what Bols wanted to do. Bols continued "Wave-san, please carry Dr Stylish with you, Kurome still strong enough to run. We will run in a different direction, and no matter what happens. No one will turn back."
A sad look appeared on the Jaegers' faces. They understood what Bols wanted to do. He will activate his trump card, which will self-destroy the remnant of his weapon. The explosion will be huge enough to cover them for some time as long as they run as hard as they can. They will have a good chance of survival. If Night Raid tracked them down, then only the slowest will be hunted down giving more time for the others to get as far as possible.
In this case, the slowest would be Bols, so if they went with this plan, his death was almost inevitable. But this was the best way to ensure the survival of some of them if not all the three.
Nightraid members were preparing to attack again and finish them for good. The Jaegers didn't have time to speak or object Bols plan. They lowered their heads toward him, making preparations for their escape. On the other hand, Bols stood and stepped forward, he took the weapon off his back and threw it toward the Nightraid.
Bols pulled out the trigger from his pocket when a voice interrupted him.
"Hope I didn't miss anything important."
Hearing the voice, Bols stopped in his tracks and turned his head to where the source came from. The owner of the voice strolled toward the middle. He kept walking until he reached the middle and stood there, between the two sides as if he was taking a walk in a park. The faces of the Jaegers brightened as the hope ignited in their eyes while the Night raid faces darkened.
The man turned toward the Night raid and spoke with a smirk "Oh... I see familiar faces here. So all of you have been part of Nightraid all along? No wonder I thought Esdeath's description seemed familiar."
Nightraid members gripped their weapons harder than ever. Before them stood a monster more dangerous than even Esdeath and her team combined.
Garou has finally arrived.
