"Koro!"
Seryu climbed up from the ground, gasping in shock as she saw Koro reduced to pieces in the distance. Then she turned her gaze to Kaguya, her eyes filled with burning hatred, her teeth clenched tightly.
Suddenly, she raised her arms, and guns unexpectedly appeared on them. She gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger.
Ratatatat!
Flames burst from the barrels, and amid the billowing smoke, bullets shot forth like a torrential storm.
These were Seryu's modified mechanical arms. After joining the imperial police force, her father was killed by Night Raid, and she underwent a drastic change in personality, becoming twisted and obsessed with justice, doing whatever it took to eliminate so-called evil. In pursuit of power and revenge, Seryu willingly underwent various modifications, with these firearms being one of them.
The bullets rained down in an endless barrage, like a torrent of steel pouring forth, akin to pearls falling on a jade plate and raindrops striking banana leaves.
"Die! Hahaha!" Seryu's once-delicate face twisted as her eyes lit up with excitement, laughing maniacally.
But when the acrid smoke in the air dissipated, Seryu's laughter abruptly halted.
Emerging unscathed was the silver-haired girl, her luxurious attire entirely untouched, as pristine as new.
"How is this possible?" Seryu's eyes widened, and she stepped back, gritting her teeth and pulling the trigger once more.
Ratatatat!
The flames burst again.
Yet, Kaguya remained unfazed. Amidst the hail of bullets, she moved with ease, her long sword glistening like a moonbeam. The bullets shattered in mid-air, sliced in half by her delicate blade before they could reach her.
"Daring to act recklessly in my territory, I must admire your courage," Kaguya chuckled softly, "but that's as far as it goes."
"Oh, really?" Seryu muttered, suddenly looking up with a twisted grin. "You're a strong opponent indeed. How about trying this?"
Suddenly, numerous barrels emerged from her arms, filled with cylindrical objects—over a dozen missiles.
Kaguya's eyelids twitched, and she smirked.
Wait a minute, Director, this isn't the right script.
In the world of Akame ga Kill!, there are missiles? That's a bit too far-fetched.
"Take this!" Aiming the launchers at Kaguya, Seryu's face twisted into a sinister grin.
Before she could pull the trigger, however, a blinding flash of light appeared before her eyes. Seryu instinctively shut her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was enveloped in a mist of blood.
Her arms, laden with weapons, had been severed at the base, flying through the air amidst spraying blood.
Seryu's pupils shrank sharply.
Before she could scream, a white leg slammed into her abdomen with brutal force. The unexpected pain wrenched her mouth open, spewing a mixture of blood and saliva.
Her body was kicked into the air, flung like a broken kite, and crashed heavily to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop against a distant tree, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Kaguya sauntered over gracefully, gazing down at Seryu, who sat slumped against the tree trunk, motionless. She chuckled softly, "Overestimating your abilities."
At that moment, Seryu suddenly lifted her head, opening her mouth, and a tongue of fire shot out.
"Hahaha, justice executed!" Seryu's face lit up with a victorious smile, laughing heartily. "Didn't expect this, did you? I've even modified my mouth."
Inside Seryu's gaping mouth was a gun barrel, still smoking. She had become so deranged that she had even altered her own mouth.
Before she could finish speaking, a hand smacked across her face, twisting her already contorted features even more. The tremendous force lifted her body, flipping her over several times before she crashed against a distant rock wall.
"What?"
"A defeated dog dares to bark?" Kaguya chuckled, pinching a golden bullet between her fingers. "You think you can ambush me with such petty tricks?"
With a light squeeze of her fingers, the bullet crumpled into a flat metal disk. Casually tossing it aside, it landed with a clink on the ground.
Seryu propped herself up with difficulty, coughing as blood trickled through her fingers. Her once-ferocious face now showed fear as her legs shuffled backward, trying to distance herself from Kaguya.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"It's too late for begging now, isn't it?" Kaguya mocked with a light snort.
Seryu, her face a mask of terror, gazed at Kaguya approaching her like an innocent girl, tears welling in her eyes, looking utterly pitiful.
As Kaguya neared, Seryu suddenly lifted her head, her eyes brightening, a wicked smile playing on her lips.
"Koro, berserk!"
Unbeknownst to Kaguya, Koro had stealthily crept behind her, its body swelling with bulging muscles turning crimson, eyes glowing with a blood-red hue, as if they might bleed. Its teeth and claws elongated, resembling sharp blades, glinting with cold light.
"Crush her!"
Seryu wore a cruel smile, appearing to have descended into madness. Her previous innocent demeanor was just an act, her current behavior a stark contrast.
Her deranged appearance was bone-chilling; she was undoubtedly a twisted lunatic.
"Your Highness!" Sayo shouted anxiously, running toward Kaguya. However, her arrows were useless against Koro, and the distance was too great, making it impossible to reach in time.
Amid the looming danger, Kaguya remained composed and unaware, even as the beast loomed behind her, mouth agape, baring sharp fangs, and claws descending upon her.
If the blow landed, Kaguya would surely be crushed.
