"Bad! Bad!" Tatsumi's heart screamed.
He knew from Nahash that the Night Raid people were all Teigu Users, and the girl beside him—looking at that constantly growing dog, he knew for sure that it was also a Teigu, and a biological-type Teigu at that.
And as for Tatsumi himself, not to mention a Teigu User, he didn't even have a shingu. How was he supposed to fight?
"Must be careful." Tatsumi also understood that if he was careless from now on, his life would likely end here.
However, what Tatsumi had to be grateful for was that there was a crazy person here who didn't have the awareness to prioritize attacking the weak to clear the field, so the Capital Guard attacked the two Night Raid members first.
Seeing this scene, Tatsumi wanted to take advantage of Seryu attacking them to sneak away, but his thought was quickly shattered.
"Want to escape? Koro!!" Following Seryu's words, a giant dog that had enlarged, possessing arms as thick as water buckets, punched toward Tatsumi.
"Crazy!" Tatsumi gritted his teeth. Seeing that punch, it was obviously not something he could take head-on, so he could only dodge to the side.
And as an assassin, would Sheele let go of this distracted person, Seryu? Actually paying attention to people over there while rushing toward them—she really didn't take them seriously.
So, naturally, Sheele rushed up directly. Her speed was so fast that by the time Seryu had just reacted, she was already in front of her.
"Crap!" No matter how big-hearted Seryu was, she knew how dangerous her current situation was. Koro was attacking Tatsumi and couldn't protect her, and her attention had just been on Tatsumi, who was trying to escape; she couldn't dodge anything in this situation.
In the end, Seryu could only block in front of herself with her arms.
"Ughhh!!" Following Seryu's scream, two bloody arms were seen flying into the sky and crashing onto the ground.
"Hehe~ As expected of Sheele." Mine, who was behind, said, her movements not sloppy at all; the Pumpkin in her hand had already gathered firepower.
At this time, Sheele's figure also moved slightly aside.
"Boom!" A thin beam of light shot out from Mine's Pumpkin. After all, the degree of danger Mine was facing at this moment was still very small, so the power of the Pumpkin naturally couldn't be too great.
Even so, if it had hit Seryu, it would have been enough.
"Roar!!"
However, at that moment, a giant arm descended from the sky and blocked Seryu's path—it was the Teigu Hundred-Armed Giant!
"Damn it, how are the imperial rakshasa's subordinates so useless? They can't even stop a single Teigu!" Mine said with some annoyance. If that shot had landed, it definitely would have taken care of Seryu. Damn that Tatsumi!
The Hundred-Armed Giant's arm only had a few dents, but they soon began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Tch! That damn biological Teigu. As long as you don't destroy the core, it can recover infinitely." Mine gritted her teeth at this sight, feeling a bit helpless.
By this time, Sheele had already returned to stand in front of Mine; compared to anything else, her most important task was to protect Mine.
Mine smiled as well. "Good thing I have a good partner. If it had been that good-for-nothing, I would have been in trouble." Mine was still holding a grudge about failing to take Seryu down.
If Tatsumi had heard that, he would definitely have retorted, "What was I supposed to do?"
"Heh heh! Hahahaha!"
Seryu suddenly started laughing.
"Is she crazy?" Sheele asked, blinking.
"She's always been a lunatic, hasn't she?" Mine remarked from the side.
"Oh!"
"Looks like a big fish~" Seryu looked at Mine and Sheele. As for Tatsumi, she had already ignored him; with such weak strength, he was probably just an ordinary member and had absolutely no value compared to the two in front of her.
"Koro, go berserk!" Seryu roared after she finished laughing.
"Roar!!"
Suddenly, the Hundred-Armed Giant's white fur turned back to a dark red, and its entire body became even more ferocious. At this moment, the Hundred-Armed Giant seemed unable to control the power within it, constantly roaring at the sky, its voice resounding through the heavens!
Tatsumi blinked, watching the three people in a tense standoff. How did it suddenly seem like none of this involved him anymore?
However, that was fine. Tatsumi breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed his life was saved.
But if Tatsumi knew that he was a "good-for-nothing" in Mine's heart and an insignificant character without value in Seryu's eyes, how would he feel? Perhaps he really would have picked up his sword and charged in recklessly?
By the best choice, he should have run away, but strangely, Tatsumi remained there, acting as a spectator.
Watching the battle between the three Teigu Users, a flash of amazement crossed his eyes. Is this the power of a Teigu User? Tatsumi could clearly realize that he was not on their level.
However, that girl didn't seem like much. Tatsumi looked at Mine in the distance, the girl who kept using artillery fire while relying on Sheele's cover.
Tatsumi had his own judgment: the power of the artillery was stronger than Chikushi's gun, but it was far less threatening than Chikushi's gun.
After all, Chikushi's gun could change its trajectory, making it impossible to guard against.
Then, Mine was labeled as "not much of a threat" in Tatsumi's mind.
However, looking at it like this, Seryu probably wouldn't last long. Being attacked by two Teigu Users, she was already slowly showing fatigue and an undeniable disadvantage.
"Hmm, I should probably retreat." Tatsumi finally remembered that he should leave. After the battle ended, whoever won would probably kill him first. Tatsumi didn't hold much hope that they would both be defeated and he would reap the benefits.
However, the next moment, a gunshot rang out. This kind of gunshot was definitely not from Mine's Teigu. Tatsumi couldn't help but look over, only to see that Seryu had actually grown a gun barrel from her mouth, and two more gun barrels had grown from her severed arms!
"This... what on earth is this?" Tatsumi opened his eyes wide at this sight.
"Sheele!!" At that moment, only Mine's roar was heard. Sheele was seen standing in front of Mine, her body pierced by the sudden gunshot, blood continuously flowing from the hole.
No one had expected that, just when the battle was about to end, such an unexpected turn of events would occur.
"Koro!!" Seryu roared while laughing maniacally.
"Roar!!!"
However, the next moment, another person appeared on the scene.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to this person who had suddenly intervened, and even Koro's attack stopped.
Only Tatsumi opened his eyes wide and asked involuntarily.
"General? Why are you here?"
