"what!"
"Help!!"
"There's a monster!!"
The cries of anguish echoed through the village as the people who had been taken away screamed.
"Tsk!"
"I really want to eat these guys up."
"That sir said to take him back and examine him first, and it would be best not to take any action."
The ghosts huddled together, watching the people locked in cages and exchanging words.
"Tch, anyway, not many guys can become qualified ghosts."
"It will become our food sooner or later."
"Yeah, hahaha!!"
Having almost sealed their fate, they let out a mocking laugh.
"Ok?"
Was there something just now?
One of the ghosts felt a dark shadow flash before its eyes and became puzzled.
"Illusion?"
"I didn't detect anything strange."
"Hey! Look, what's that?!"
At first, the other ghosts thought it was just being paranoid, but then they witnessed strange black "words" appearing on their bodies.
"Burial!"
"Zheng!"
With those cold words and the sound of the sword being sheathed, the group of ghosts lost their lives almost simultaneously, without even seeing who had attacked them.
Breath Concealment (A+)
That was the ability Akame acquired after becoming a Heroic Spirit.
If she wanted to, almost no one would be able to detect her presence.
"You are the one from the village during the day."
"Crack!"
Akame opened the wooden cage, and the villagers inside were all rescued. Among them, some recognized Akame and were overjoyed.
This "expert" had bought some rice and flour in the village during the day, but he never expected to be rescued tonight.
"Take your belongings and leave this village as soon as possible."
Looking at the "monsters" she had just killed, Akame had also overheard their conversation.
Those who call themselves "ghosts" are not individual beings, but rather a group ruled by someone.
Such a group cannot be dealt with simply by killing its henchmen.
Since they came here on orders to capture humans, their long absence from returning to carry out their missions will surely attract the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Akame cannot stay here for long. If the villagers face retaliation, they will surely die.
Therefore, she advised the villagers to pack their things and leave, and find another place to settle down.
"But."
However, some villagers couldn't make a decision so quickly. After all, some of them had lived here since their ancestors' time, and they would definitely have reservations about leaving like this.
"Next time you encounter such evil spirits, there may not be someone like me to save you again."
Without offering any further advice, Akame simply said those words and left.
But just as she reached the village entrance, she found a young man in white blocking her way.
"!"
A strange, discordant feeling stirred within her, and Akame immediately drew her Murasame sword, on guard.
"You killed those ghosts in an instant; you're no ordinary person."
Looking at the human before him with his white eyes, Shirodoji offered a word of praise.
Fortunately, he hadn't gone too far, so he noticed the ghost that had disappeared immediately.
"Not a sorcerer, not a witch, and certainly not a monster."
"But these abilities don't seem to be something that ordinary humans could possess."
"You're a Servant, aren't you?"
Knowing full well that Muzan was an existence like this, Hakudoshi took out his long naginata.
"If we can bring you back, you're worth at least 100 humans... no, 500."
The naginata was covered in emerald green dragon scales, which Shirodoji wielded.
"."
Without saying a word, Akame simply assumed a fighting stance, and then her figure vanished.
"Has your aura been completely concealed?"
His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, but he couldn't find any clues.
"boom!!"
As the naginata was turned, a burst of demonic energy erupted; it was no ordinary demon.
After being transformed by Muzan, Hakudoshi has become a "demon" and possesses powers he never had before.
A deafening roar erupted as demonic power materialized into solid black slashes that hurtled outwards.
That is Hakudouji's Blood Demon Technique.
"Crack!"
The trees along the road were all swallowed up and reduced to wood chips, leaving behind several deep gullies on the ground.
"Whoosh!"
With a backward slash, Hakudoji caught sight of the approaching figure.
"Wow!"
(So fast!)
The naginata passed through without any real sensation; it was just an afterimage.
"Pfft!!"
Both of his shoulders had been slashed, and only then did Bai Tongzi realize that the other person was standing sideways in front of him.
"That human not only dodged all of Hakudoshi's attacks, but even used them to counterattack."
Kagura, carrying Kanna, was hiding high in the sky in the distance when she saw this scene and was stunned.
"But that alone is not enough to kill Hakudoshi."
Upon arriving, Kagura did not witness the previous scene, but she knew very well that Hakudoshi, as an incarnation of Naraku, possessed a troublesome regenerative ability.
Merely inflicting wounds with swords and knives is not enough to heal the wounds.
Moreover, the current Hakudoshi has gained new power.
"Crack!"
But then, Kagura saw Hakudoji suddenly break off his own shoulder.
That decisive attitude was truly astounding.
"Did you find it?"
Akame turned to look at Shirodoji's actions and murmured to herself.
Was that knife originally cursed?
"I knew you could easily kill those ghosts, so that's how it is."
Having lost both arms and unable to grip the sword, Shiro retreated a short distance.
He looked calmly at his arms, which were now covered in runes.
Although it possesses strong regenerative abilities and immortality, it is not absolute.
Poison, if strong enough, can kill him.
Even Naraku would find it difficult to avoid this.
"Hmph, what a pity, you couldn't kill me with two strikes."
