Despite having the upper hand for 1 minute the second team Balluck, Womyn, Green, Tsukushi find that Esdeath manages to trace their location and almost reaching them after 10 minutes. She uses magic creating ice under her feet to skate to them
Tsukushi while running try to shoot at her, but that didn't slow Esdeath down as she dances through all the bullets while Balluck trying to cast a curse to slow Esdeath down but she struggles it out very quickly thanks to her natural talent for magic. Womyn didn't dare to throw her Bo-Shuriken as Esdeath definitely will catch it and use it to throw back at them.
"Got any plan Green she will catch up with us soon," Balluck said as she fires a giant fireball at Esdeath but it froze midway.
Green takes out four sunglasses and throws the three to the rest "Balluck I knew you have light magic used it now"
To his command Balluck hand shine light that completely lights up the forest making Esdeath cover her eyes.
Using this chance Green throws out multiples smoke bombs to escape but when they got out they lost one member is Tatsuki. While escaping her feet suddenly become cold as ice cover all of her lower body, she tries to use the handgun to break the ice but Esdeath already standing in front of her. That was when she received a neck chop and was carried back to the prison fainted
The first team Akame, Kurome, Loris, and Meela ain't better as Katsu is behind their tail. Looking at his leisure smile like walking in the park chasing them leaves them a cold sweat.
"Go now we will keep him at bay" Seeing no chance to outrun him Meela and Loris take out their dual dagger knives and comfort him directly
Despite this, is a game they act like they will sacrifice in battle the look in Akame and Kurome eyes like they have sacrifice a friend for the greater good.
When Akame and Kurome have run away Loris and Meela immediately attack him. The four dagger dances in the air while attacking him they exchange weapons with each other combine their movement to perfectly attack him leaving no chance for any assassin to defend themselves, if anyone tries to catch their weapon to stop their rhythm this will create a big flaw that let the twin attack but Katsu is not any orginal assassin his speed is way too fast for the two to even keep up the moment they apply this tactic his movement suppress their reaction holding all their knives in his hand
"So want to go the hard way or the easy way" the two shake their head and obediently go with him, but this didn't stop their playfulness as the two ask Katsu to carry them. Knowing they want to buy time for Akame and Kurome to run farther he agrees to their request and carried Loris onto his back while princess hugging Meela.
While walking back he doesn't know what they are thinking as their face are smoking hugging tight his body.
The fourth team Kylie, Natala, Cornella, Taeko are being chased but they didn't realize and just keep going only Kylie's instinct from many hours of training with Katsu realizes it. He immediately took out Dual wield sword and attacks behind him but is greeted by Merraid Beetle Shield blocking the attack her hand then squeeze tight to Kylie's neck choking him
A person that should be the future clan leader of Oarburgh Clan, Merriad inherited the clan Teigu like insect weapons, Wrigglers but is rob by Katsu. This is simply implanted as a memory that a strange old woman taught Merriad all of this and died leaving all the legacy to her. She never uses this in the arena since this makes her lost the thrill from fighting but this is a hunt so she is going all out.
Natala immediately reacts using Naginata to help Kylie but midway his body paralyzes as Merriad Bee Wriggler string him, he can only shout run to the two before even his mouth paralyzes.
Cornella, Taeko having no chance to save them they immediately run leaving the two.
Looking at her escaped prey she sent out Wriggler Flies to track them then proceed to bring the two back to prison.
"You really did a number on them Merraid" Chelsea said as she helps her load the prisoner in.
There are now a total of 5 prisoners Tsukushi whose whole lower body is cover in ice, Natala who is paralyzed by insect, Kylie who has a sore on his throat after being choke, and Loris, and Meela who is normal with no injury.
"Truly teacher is gentlest why didn't he catch me first" Tsukushi sighs looking at her fate compare to Loris and Meela
