Feeling the sudden surge of power emanating from Sora, the girls were all startled. Even Poney-chan, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, was left speechless, her mouth hanging open.
"Sisters, don't back down!"
Cornelia, regaining her composure, shouted firmly. This battle was about their fate, and even if this man was the empire's strongest, they had to fight!
"Yes, Cornelia!"
The girls responded in unison, their expressions serious.
But at that moment—
"Cornelia, how could we miss out on a fight like this?"
"Ah, the so-called empire's strongest, who even destroyed father's Teigu—I'd like to test him too!"
Two figures stepped out from the side, positioning themselves in front of the girls. It was the perverted giant Guy and the brooding Green.
"Guy, Green…"
They had always thought these two were hopeless idiots, but seeing them standing protectively in front of them now, the girls felt a wave of gratitude.
"We are men!"
Exchanging a glance, Guy and Green both wore slight smirks. As they said those words, they felt an unprecedented sense of pride and satisfaction.
"Idiots."
Najasho, standing to the side, remained unmoved, merely uttering those two words coolly.
"Hey, are you guys ready? If you don't start, I will."
Sora couldn't help but find it amusing. These two poor guys were trying to impress Cornelia and the others, but in a couple of days, the girls probably wouldn't even remember them!
"Hmph, old man, don't get cocky. We'll show you what we're made of!" "Hehe, the empire's strongest, huh? If I beat you, maybe I'll take your place!"
Although they knew this guy was undoubtedly strong, they had absolute confidence in their own abilities.
Besides, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win over Cornelia and the others. They couldn't afford to lose!
"Hahaha, Green, Guy, you guys are awesome! If you really beat this guy, I'll help you chase after Akame and Cornelia."
Poney-chan, ever the impulsive one, blurted out whatever came to mind.
Normally, Akame and Cornelia would have scolded the girl for her loose lips, but with a formidable enemy before them, they could only glare at her.
Hearing Poney-chan's words, Guy and Green were instantly energized, their eyes gleaming as if they could already see their bright futures.
Sora, feeling utterly exasperated, turned to Gozuki, his expression clearly conveying his thoughts: Are these really the kids you raised?
Gozuki, his face slightly red, turned his head away. For the first time in his life, he felt truly embarrassed!
You brats, the man standing before you is the empire's strongest, someone even I can't defeat. Could you be any more arrogant?!
He thought, "Whatever, it's fine. It seems that under my guidance, these kids have become a bit too confident. Let them learn a lesson. According to our previous agreement, that bastard Sora probably won't take their lives."
"Guy."
Pushing up his glasses, Green turned to the tall guy, Guy, beside him.
Understandingly nodding, the two of them exerted force with their feet, and their figures shot towards Sora.
A glint flashed in his black pupils. Although he didn't have much expectation, just based on the earlier "uncle" remark, he decided to play along with these two kids.
"Rare Suit: Earth Spike!"
Guy was the first to activate the power of his Shingu. Instantly, the ground began to squirm, and a sharp earth spike shot out with a fierce momentum, aiming straight for Sora's back from behind.
With a slight sidestep, Sora let the earth spike pass by his side. Such a petty trick wouldn't be enough to deal with him.
Not showing much surprise, Guy continued to manipulate the earth, wrapping it around his fist. In an instant, a massive black fist appeared before everyone's eyes.
With a faint smile, Sora also threw a punch.
Boom!!!
The sound waves vibrated, and the air currents surged. Crack, crack—the massive black fist made of earth began to shatter, eventually turning into a pile of dust.
Finally, the always confident Guy showed a look of astonishment.
"It's over!"
At this moment, Green's voice rang out from the side, bringing a sudden joy to the shocked Guy.
Watching the whip that slithered out like a snake from the earth spike beside him, continuously wrapping around his body, Sora frowned. So, the big guy's first attack was just a cover for his companion's move.
"Farewell, the Empire's strongest…"
With a bloodthirsty smile, Green placed one hand on Sora's shoulder, leaning close to his ear and whispering softly. At the same time, Sora's neck and limbs were completely bound by the whip that resembled a venomous snake.
"Sidewinder: Strangle!"
As if receiving a command, the whip binding Sora suddenly contracted, continuously into his body…
…
"How is this possible! Guy and Green, they were defeated so easily…"
With a look of shock and awe, Cornelia's face turned pale as she muttered, watching the two who were now lying at Sora's feet, battered and twitching, clearly unconscious.
"Those two are too useless…"
Whispering softly, but at this moment, looking at the black-haired, black-eyed man, Poney couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and dread.
To be honest, Guy and Green's rankings were slightly higher than hers. But only slightly!
"Please… please let go of Guy and Green!"
Holding her silver pistol aimed at Sora, Tsukushi tried her best to shout loudly. However, her trembling hands revealed how nervous the girl was at this moment.
On the side, Akame didn't say anything, but her crimson eyes were unprecedentedly serious, and her right hand gripping the sword was already sweating…
He's too strong. We're not on the same level!
We thought even if Guy and Green couldn't win, they could hold out for a while. But the result was that they used all their strength, and he wasn't even scratched, while he defeated them with just one move!
As for the rest of the time, it was just a scene of them being tortured…
"Well, since Tsukushi asked so nicely, I'll return these two to you. I've had enough fun anyway."
Shrugging, Sora kicked, and the bodies of Green and Guy fell with a thud in front of the four girls.
Although they wanted to check on their companions' injuries, the four of them didn't dare to move, fearing that this terrifying guy might suddenly attack them.
If Sora knew what these girls were thinking, he would probably burst out laughing. Do I really need to sneak attack you little girls?
"Self-inflicted pain, these small fries."
With a cool voice, Najasho stepped forward calmly, dragging the bodies of Guy and Green like dead dogs to the side, leaving Sora speechless. He really wondered if they were still companions.
"Now, it's your turn!"
Looking at the four shocked girls, Sora's lips curled into an evil smile…
