Chapter 7

We stand on a field with sun shining at us as we look at Gozuki

"Because of your recent activity, many revel spies and Revolutionaries have ben taken care of, but... Their response was more fierce than we expected.

"Now that we are deep in the mountains we don`t have to worry about being found."

"Now take a good break we`ll get more Jobs around towns soon enough" says Gozuki calm as he looked at us just then he turns to Guy and said

"Use this time to reflect and get your head back in game." Then he turns around and walks away to be for himself as he thinks about Cornelia.

I walked away from the others as I want to train alone.

As I run around I heard some noice as it was coming closer to my position I looked at it with excitement as I rush forward to meet the Beast I summon my knifes as I noticed it was a pack of Ground Dragons

"STOMP"

With a provocate smile I looked at them as I saw its appearance of a giant cockroach-like beast. it has long antennae, giant claw-like hands and red eyes. Its color is dark brown.

"GRWW"

I rush forward and instantly I appeared and jumped on the Head as I cut through the head Instantly I appeared to another Ground Dragon and hit it with my Feet on his head as he smashed on the Ground I threw the Monster Knife in his head and teleported to the Knife as that was a Technique that I created as I can summon the knifes I can teleport myself to the Knifes.

The last 3 Ground Dragon rush forward and try to punch me as I looked at them with a disgusting look "Come on you ants let me smash you to pieces" and hit one of them with my Fist one of them falls back as the other 2 Ground Dragons wants to hit me I throw my Monster knife in the air and Teleport to it and throw my Knifes in the head to both of them and teleport to each of them and stomp them to the ground.

*BOOM*

"That was a boring fight.. meh I need to find more Beasts"

I continued to absorb and hunt more Danger Beasts till late at night and came back to sleep as I didn`t want to talk to the members because I need to sort myself if I distance myself from them or not. Because I know that many of them will die cause just Akame was left as she left the Empire.

----

2 weeks later

"This time you are going out of the Empire to Putolu says Gozuki with a calm face.

Putolu throughout history, it has been a place for traders to resuplly during their journey. It lies in the North-West regions of the Empire. It was one occupied by the Northern tribes, and hold many unique cultures.

"Putolu is an Arid Region unsuitable for farming, it`s simply a land not worth having but that place is full of History. The Tombs of the past Emperor is located there. The Residents of the area hold great reverence to that Emperor and willingly offer up Gold and Jewerly hard earned by themselves." Explaines Gozuki

"It´s lucky the Graves haven`t been robbed..." says Green with a calm look.

There are "Gravekeepers" there."

"The Empire sent an investigation team to verify the Rumors but they were all horrifically killed."

"The corpses were left with a warning,"STAY AWAY FROM THE TOMBS"

"and that`s not all.. A few weeks later, the families of the Investigators were also killed in the same manner within the Empire. Explains Gozuki with a cold smile

Gozuki stands up with a calm face "All Members of the team are to head over to Potulu to deal with the Gravekeepers and take back all the treasures while you`re at it this is your mission, another step in Improving the Empire`s starte, this is a very important Job"

As I heard that I just look at it with a calm face as I looked at the others as they discussed the Mission as Akame heard that another assassination Squad was send and that the Empire got an SOS Signal Akame couldn`t be calm anymore.

"Kurome...." nearly shouted Akame as she was in worry.

---------Timeskip to Potulu

We sat in silence in a tent as I thought about the Mission itself but I can`t remember much anymore ... I don`t know if somebody died in there im just trying my best to kill the Enemy.

"Hiro is everything okay?" asked Akame with a concerned look

"Yep everything is fine just thought about the mission" as I sendet her a smile I couldn`t help but notice that everyone was looking at me.

"Guys whats wrong?" I asked as they watched me with concern

"Hiro you didn`t talk to us much anymore after Cornelia died so we have to worry about you" says Akame

"Just talk to us more"

"Dont distance yourself from us"

"haha sorry guys I just wasn`t myself in the last Month sorry guys as I stand up and give them a apologic smile

*HUST* *HUST*

Gozuki looked around with a smile as he explains "There may be guards around the town, but they normalle would not approach the tombs themselves. The Tomb's Location is quite a distance."

"In other words, if we get rid of the gravekeepers, we can get our hands on the treasure" says Najasho with a calm look.

"But right now, we lack intelligence without a map of the Tomb, I doubt we will make much progress no matter how many lives we throw in." says Green as he looked at the paper

"The map we got from the town only showed the first level of the Tombs, i`m surprised they thought about this." says Gozuki in a calm look as he sighs.

"The other groups are also busy collecting Information, let`s make our move when we know more about what we`re up against." says Gozuki

Akame with a excited look says "In- In order to gather more Intelligence, lets make our move first and draw their attention, let me enter the Tombs to distract them. How is that?"

"under the current circumstances, we can`t take the risk of losing you guys and attack first. But, it seems like we dont have a choice understand?" says Gozuki as he glances at me and Green you 2 are perfect for the Mission you go with Akame and catch some Gravekeepers."

Timeskip to the Tomb

As we walked there Green tried to calm Akame down but instead achieved it that she is nearly running now.. Not a very good Idea as I think I say to Akame

"Akame calm down! It won`t bring anything if you are in anxiety" as she turns around and looks at me she sighs.. and says

"Hiro but I can`t just think not about Kurome.."

Green looks at us and says "We can speed up but be careful Akame and watch your steps."

As we stand in front of the Tomb we saw one girl and 3 mans coming out

Instantly they rush to us as the girl says

"Don`t get overconfident. Once we circle them, kill them"

"Secret Art...!"

Before she could continue I appeared in front of them and cut the 3 of them open and cut the limbs away to keep them barely alive I just "tzk smallfrie" and watched the last one as Green engaged him

"You seem different from the others I`ve fought so far." as he said that he transformed in some kind of bird and flies into the air.

"It`s actually more trouble that you only knocked out my teammates."

So you`re planning on taking them back alive to get information out of them..."

"Then i`ll just have to finish you off and collect you."

As he says that he flies straight to Green

Green gets his Shingo his whip ready to attack, as the Bird was in reach Green tried to hit him with Speed of wind but just couldn`t hit him just before the Man reaches Green Akame gets before him and says in a calm look

"Not on my watch" and cut at him as he tried to fly away Green had him already in his whip and smashes him on the ground as I appeared behind the bird-man I kicked him out.

"Nice sync work Green and Akame" with a smile I walk to them with the 4 knocked out.

"You too Hiro" smiles Akame at me as Green looked at her armpit and gets nosebleed I just sigh at Green and say : "

Green really now? Control yourself.. hahahaha"

Akame just looks at him with concern

"Is everything all right Green? Did he hit you somewhere?"

Before Green could respond I just smile and say

"Akame he is fine lets go back to Father and lets interogate them"
