A Warrior's Path 223 Chapter 223. Found You

Night Raid went about with their assassinations. Ryu finally understood the cruel reality of the empire, he knew that the empire was corrupted but not to such extend. He now really considered whether he should personally wipe out everyone or not.

Ryu was leisurely spending his time when he sensed Tatsumi come in his direction.

" What is it Tatsumi? "

Tatsumi " Um, Ryu san..... can't you help us? The empire's evil run deep, for a better tomorrow we need to destroy it so please, can't you help us? "

Ryu " Ok."

Tatsumi " Please think again, I know this isn't your battle but please help... wait!!! You agree!?! "

Ryu " Huh? That's what I said just now unless you don't want to."

Tatsumi was overjoyed " Hahaha, of course I do! Haha! I will go and tell this to the others!"

Ryu shook his head seeing Tatsumi's excitement. He really liked this bunch, they treasured each moment with their friends since they don't know when one would leave them.

Back in Night Raid base.....

Najenda was excited " Tatsumi, what you said is real? "

Tatsumi vowed solemnly " Yes boss! Ryu san agreed to help us! "

Najenda laughed loudly " Hahaha, that's good!! Guys prepare! I will inform the headquarters, in two days we will attack the Capital!! "

Akame and the rest nodded. A hope was ignited within them, they finally saw their goal. Najenda was busy the past few days, she was discussing with headquarters about her plan to attack the Capital with their full force.

At first noone agreed but hearing that the one who defeated Esdeath will lead the attack they quickly changed their stand. Every single capable men was mobilised and equipped.

Initially Madara wasn't interested in it but Ryu baited him by saying

" Some interesting weapons will be among the enemies."

Madara was intrigued by those weapons they used and since he had nothing to do he decided to stroll along.

Two days passed by in a flash.

*********

Empire Capital.....

The guards above the city walls were lazily strolling when they saw two figures walk leisurely towards the city gate. At first they didn't mind it but when they clearly saw who these two were all of them panicked.

After Madara and Ryu did a number on the guards their portraits were distributed everywhere with the highest bounty.

One of the guards " Inform Great General Budo!!! Now!! "

Two guards ran with everything they had to report this. The guards took up their weapon to try and fight these intruders.

Ryu saw this and said " Don't throw away your lives for nothing."

He didn't stop and kept walking, the guards were now in a dilemma. Noone wants to die but they can't let their enemy enter like that. All of them didn't hesitate anymore and attacked.

Ryu shook his head " Idiots."

He flicked his finger. A ball of light shot out from his hand and hovered above them. Before the guards could react all of them were impaled by ice spikes and nailed to the wall.

Ryu and Madara stepped inside. They slaughtered everyone who came to stop them, there were Teigu users as well but the outcome was the same.... death.

Ryu could have killed every single corrupted official easily but the new government who comes after won't have a steady footing that's why he agreed to Najenda's request and decided to go the hard way.

As they neared the palace Ryu and Madara was stopped by several people. All of them showed considerable power than the others before.

Ryu recognised one of them, it was the girl that was attacking Mine and Sheele that night. He stroked his chin and tried to remember who these guys were.

' Ah.... I seem to recall they were Jeagurs.'

There were six of them. Two woman and four males. They were Wave, Kurome, Bols, Run, Seryu and Stylist. Kurome and Seryu were the women among them. All of them didn't bother with any words and attacked straight away.

Wave, Kurome and Run attacked Ryu while Bols, Seryu and Stylist attacked Madara.

Ryu and Madara didn't immediately finish them off. They wanted to see their Teigus.

Wave released his Teigu, his body was completely covered in armour. Run had a Winged Teigu, he attacked from above while Kurome used her sword and summoned several dead.

Seryu released Kuro, an absurdly huge dog and attacked Madara. Bols took out an incinerator and threw out flames. Stylist also summoned several of his personal army which he made using human corpses.

Ryu and Madara were intrigued by these weapons. They analysed how these worked and found a strange energy flow through these weapons. They quickly understood how these weapons were so special.

' Using beast bloodlines and forging them as weapons.... remarkable.'

While they were lazily standing there getting hit by their enemies attack and analysing their Teigus, their attackers were drenched in sweat. Their hearts were clenched as they saw how they weren't even able to put a scratch on Ryu and Madara.

Wave ' How is this possible!? What kind of Teigu is it!? '

Stylist ' What powerful specimen! If I can experiment on them..... but first I have to live past today.'

All of them had different thoughts but most of it revolved around how to defeat Ryu and Madara.

Ryu " That's enough."

He grabbed Kurome's puppets and burned them to ashes. Wave who attacked Ryu from behind suffered a reverse kick to his chest and was nailed to the ground, his armour was broken and he spat out blood.

Ryu shot a look at Run who was in the sky, the next moment Run fell down. He had a dazed expression on his face.

Kurome who had her puppets burned to nothing got her powers back and attacked Ryu. He grabbed her sword and pinched it lightly, like glass it was shattered.

He backhanded her and send her crashing through a house.

Madara was also done with playing. He destroyed Stylist's puppets and burned him down. Seryu who raged over his death attacked Madara crazily, but everyone of her attacks felt like she was striking an iron wall.

One shouldn't lose cool during a battle especially against Madara. Seeing his opponent like that Madara got bored and pointed his finger.

A red light flashed. Bols witnessed as Seryu was shot through her head by a red beam of light. Her body started to burn from her head until she was burned to nothing.

Bols used his Teigu to its max and tried to burn down Madara but as he did so he heard Madara's disdainful words

" You are using flames against me? Laughable! "

Madara waves his hand and the flames diverged. Bols was shocked to find the flames he fired pave way for Madara. It like these flames were giving way for a king. Madara walked lazily upto Bols and punched his gut.

Bols fell down spitting blood.

Madara " Those things are interesting. To forge using Bloodlines, quite remarkable."

Ryu nodded. Just as they were about to move further both of them sensed a figure move towards their direction.

Esdeath was currently running as fast as she can. The moment she received report about Ryu and Madara's attack she went out. Her heart would start beating like crazy remembering that domineering figure of Madara, his cool and calm face was so clear every time she closed her eyes.

Finally she saw both Ryu and Madara. Her eyes ignored Ryu and focused on Madara.

Madara was standing there with his hands folded above his chest. His figure gave off a superior vibe, she felt her heart beat even faster seeing this. She stood Infront of Madara and said

" Found You....
