Outside the Imperial Palace.
Ryota and his party stopped in front of a grand gate.
The surrounding area had been controlled by the imperial guards, and crowds of guards surrounded them.
The atmosphere gradually became tense. However, none come close to Ryota. Everyone stayed within about 50 meters, ready to fight.
As a result, there was an extremely large area around Ryota and the others, like a large square surrounded by a sea of people.
Akame, Bulat and the others were a bit nervous, tightly gripping the weapons in their hands.
There were too many guards gathered, and the soldiers trained by Budo were also surrounding. They had no way out, and they would die if they failed!
Even Mine swallowed her saliva, pulled Ryota's clothes back from behind, and asked a bit nervously: "It really doesn't matter, right?"
"Show confidence, hold your head high, and have a relaxed, natural demeanor. It's better to be arrogant." Ryota advised without looking back: "With me supporting you, what are you afraid of?"
"This is the first time I've been surrounded by so many enemies."
A look of emotion appeared on Hayasaka's face.
Like Misaki, she trusts Ryota unconditionally, so she shows no shame.
Shinobu who had not spoken the entire time, also walked over to Ryota's side.
"Shiro-chan..."
"Call me captain now."
"...Captain, do we need to take action too?"
When Shinobu asked that question, she subconsciously touched Nichirin's Sword.
The blade was no longer slender, but a normal blade shape.
She who had been promoted to the second stage of psyker was not a weak woman, she naturally didn't need to compromise to wield a light sword.
Moreover, the Nichirin Sword that had been strengthened by points was much stronger than before.
"Just watch, you don't need to act. What Inaho needs to collect now is my battle data."
After the fighting spirit increased, Ryota's attitude of speech changed slightly. There is an undeniable sense of toughness.
"Captain, you just used the ability to manipulate time?"
Inaho asked while operating the unknown equipment in his hand: "Not only did the physical speed of the enemies approaching us gradually slow down, I observed their expressions and found that their thought speed also fell into a synchronous deceleration."
"That's right," Ryota nodded and said, "It is indeed the domain that controls time, from the 'Bridge of Sorrow'."
"Bridge of Sorrow... that is to say, there are three other domains?"
Inaho thought. Ryota mentions to him some specific details of the Military Commander System.
Once the Military Commander System reaches the Fourth Bridge, thoughts can interfere with the outside world, forming a spiritual domain like a "different world".
The emotional power of the bridge will become a kind of rule, relying on the power of the soul to continue operating. Because soul power flows through the heart, it is limitless. Therefore, the domain always exists and applies.
Bridge of Fear corresponds to ice and snow.
Bridge of Rage corresponds to Scorched Hell.
Bridge of Sorrow slows down the time of all things.
Bridge of Evil symbolizes destruction.
Originally, Inaho thought that this kind of scattered domain would not be very powerful, but would only have a small amount of combat auxiliary effect. Now it looked like he had guessed wrong.
From the gates of the imperial capital to the front gates of the palace, during the entire process, not even a speck of dust approached them.
If the other three domains were also very powerful, then they couldn't be considered pure combat support.
"There are indeed three more, but when the rules of the other world are manipulated, there is no time to slow down such freedom." Ryota took the initiative to remind: "There is a risk of hurting one's own party."
"Hah?" Ishtar was stunned for a moment: "Your own ability, can't you freely control it?"
"Ishtar, have you misunderstood freedom of manipulation?" Ryota said speechlessly.
"Could it be that after you fire a Noble Phantasm, the attack can automatically identify the enemy, and only deal damage to the enemy?"
"Of course not, my Noble Phantasm is a large scale impact."
"It's the same on my side." Ryota shrugged and said: "It's okay to release it normally, but once I increase the consumption of soul power and increase the power of ordinary discharge, it's hard to say it will hurt one's own party."
"Uh... You shouldn't suddenly lose control and throw a tantrum?" Ishtar asked carefully. She had to admit that Ryota's domain was a bit terrifying, as if a Noble Phantasm was continuously being released.
In case of escaping, she is so close, isn't it impossible to escape?
Ryota glanced at Ishtar, and only said one word: "Maybe."
Ishtar: "..."
She didn't know if Ryota was purposely joking and scolding her, or...
At this time, the palace gate was opened.
Everyone's attention was attracted and they looked forward.
Inside the gate, 13 people came out slowly.
They were divided into two teams, far from each other, and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.
The team of 6 is led by a man with an "X" shaped scar on his face. Everyone displayed an unrestrained aura, and they weren't palace guards like a bunch of thugs.
The remaining 7 people are much more formal. They were led by a beautiful woman with long blue hair. The delicate face beneath the military cap showed an expression of interest.
Ryota guessed that this woman should be Esdeath. Judging from perception, she is rather weak.
"Finally can start work." Ryota grinned.
"The team on the right is the 'Jaegers' formed by one of the strongest in the empire, Esdeath, and the team on the left is a group of famous people brought over by the minister's son from outside the empire."
Bulat took a few steps forward, approached Ryota and said: "They call themselves Wild Hunt."
"Wild Hunt?" After hearing this, Hayasaka couldn't help but complain: "Isn't the name too ugly?"
After complainiHuntshe suddenly reacted, looked at Bulat, and suddenly said: "Wait! You said the man on the left walking in front is a Syura!?"
"Yes, he is Syura, what's wrong?" Bulat asked.
"Did he lead the band of criminals under him to torture and kill people in the imperial capital?" Hayasaka asked in a low voice.
"That's right," said Bulat in surprise, "It seems you already know the relevant information, but I said too much."
"Captain," Hayasaka looked at Ryota again: "Is that person you mentioned?"
"Um," Ryota nodded "That's what I mentioned when I gave you an example."
"His gaze is disgusting..."
Misaki also frowned, with a hint of anger on her face.
She felt swept away by the extremely disgusting gaze.
The source is coming directly across the street, from the team leader on the left.
"What a detestable man…"
Not only Misaki and Hayasaka, but even Ishtar couldn't help showing the disgust in her eyes: "Fortunately, I listened to you earlier and put on an extra coat. Otherwise, I don't want to be seen by lesser humans, it's disgusting to think about."
"...Didn't you say that your clothes were that of a goddess, so people couldn't see them with dirty eyes?" Ryota pouted: "Why, now you know it doesn't fit?"
Ishtar explained: "If it were my retainers, they naturally wouldn't look at me with eyes of disrespect, but you keep mentioning this matter, are you disrespecting the goddess?"
"This is Tohsaka Rin's body, not yours." Ryota corrected.
"Tohsaka Rin?"
"You do not know? Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Ryota didn't continue to explain, but approached Mine and tapped her on the shoulder. After attracting the girl's attention, he reminded:
"Later on, I will resist their attacks first and maximize the effect of the program. The stronger the balance of power I display in all aspects, the more status you will gain in the Revolutionary Army…"
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly interrupted him.
"I thought that a strong person broke into the imperial capital. It turns out you are rats hiding."
The speaker was Syura, as if to show off his aura, he deliberately raised his voice: "Night Raid... A bunch of arrogant idiots! I will take your head!"
"Hey, Syura, you have to take care of that beauty for me."
Chhamp behind Syura, smiled and licked his lips: "There are no beauties abroad... Hehehe, I enjoyed it after that."
"You need to remind me of this?" Syura let out the same vulgar laugh: "Kill all the men and keep the women. I will make them regret coming to this world."
Ryota: "..."
The unbearable words made Hayasaka and the others frown.
"Damn it...! I will kill him!"
Ishtar nearly exploded with rage.
"That is none of your business."
Ryota stopped the angry Ishtar and pulled her back, while he took a step forward.
With a flash of red light, Ming Hong Sword appeared in his hand. But soon, he kept back Ming Hong Sword.
"What is wrong?"
Misaki was the first to notice the oddity.
"The soul killed by Ming Hong Sword will be sent to reincarnation." Ryota shook his head "It's not their turn to do such a good thing."
"What is it? Don't drag the show effect?"
Misaki suddenly asked with a smile. She could see that Ryota was angry. She didn't know why, but her heart jumped with joy.
"I will kill him!!"
Ryota suddenly swore.
Explosion-!
A huge flame with a diameter of more than ten meters exploded in his right hand.
The surging flames continued to gather and condense, and finally formed a sword in his hand that was exactly the same shape as the Ming Hong Sword.
Ryota materializes his weapon with fire, completely denying the enemy the chance to be reincarnated.
He released a terrifying pressure.
Wild Hunt members on the opposite side suddenly felt as if they were being targeted by some kind of wild beast, and felt a suffocating feeling that life was no longer under their control.
Heavy footsteps sounded.
Ryota walked forward, towards the Wild Hunt group. His figure gave people a natural sense of oppression.
On the Jaegers' side, Will wants to make a move. But he was immediately stopped by Esdeath who reached out.
"Team leader?"
"Watch their fight first, to add to the excitement."
Esdeth's fighting spirit was stoked: "Interesting! Let's see how strong you are."
At this moment, Syura seemed to have a premonition of crisis, and hurriedly shouted: "Kill him!"
Wild Hunt members spring into action.
Izou rushed towards Ryota first. He is a swordsman who loves swords more than anyone and constantly sacrifices blood for his sword, Kousetsu.
Even though he doesn't use a Teigu, his swordsmanship is exceptional, and his strength is second to none among Wild Hunt.
"Kousetsu, the enemy is really strong..."
Staring at Ryota who was wielding a sword, Izou's fighting spirit grew high.
The opponent is of the same melee type as him, so should be able to give him a good workout.
He gently caressed the hilt of his beloved sword, as if caring for his beloved wife: "It seems that you can eat well this time."
The next second.
The two come closer.
Izou saw the right moment and immediately drew his sword. With a swift slash, he slashed at Ryota from a strange angle.
Puff--!
Ryota randomly slashed, and the second strike came first.
Izou immediately split in two.
The flames exploded, and the two parts of his body each flew to both sides, and were roasted into coke before landing.
"Idiots." Ryota spoke disdainfully.
Bang –
Both halves of Izou's body fell to the ground at the same time.
The sound of the impact was not loud, but struck the hearts of every Wild Hunt member.
They get scared.
"Not good! Back off!"
Dunno who shouted. The melee personnel that were attacking Ryota immediately backed away, wanting to grow a few more legs.
Too fast!
Before they could even react, Izou was killed.
It's simply not on the same level!
"Chaos Throw: Big Leaguers!"
At this time, Champ, who is dressed as a clown, activates his Teigu, Chaos Throw: Big Leaguer.
Six balls, each with a different attribute, hit the enemy after being thrown, and will carry out a special attribute attack.
However, the six orb-shaped treasures were suspended in the air just after they flew less than a meter.
Pooh!
Champ's head flew up, and Ryota who was over ten meters a second ago, grabbed Champ's hair and held it in his hand.
Champ's fat body was reduced to ashes in the fire.
"Escape!"
"This person is a monster!"
The Wild Hunt members suddenly lost their fighting spirit and frantically approached Ryota. It seemed they intended to drag everyone into the water, then take advantage of the chaos to escape.
But after they took a few steps, they turned into debris flying in the sky.
Ryota put down the hand holding the sword.
A wave of air swept over the enemy's charred flesh and flew into the palace.
At this time, the Syura who saw this scene had no blood on his face.
Monsters!
He immediately took out his space-type Teigu, intending to get away from this place.
"Ah...!"
However, before Shambala activated, he felt a severe pain in his arm, and couldn't hold back his screams. Subconsciously turning his head to look, his right arm disappeared, and Shambala flew into the air.
Ryota appeared beside him, and the blade rested on his severed arm.
"D-Don't kill me!"
"My father is the Minister of the Empire! Anything you want, he will give you!" Syura screamed in horror.
Ryota ignored him directly and stomped his foot. In an instant, a huge icicle appeared from the ground.
Spikes emerged from the ice, piercing Syura's body right from behind.
The stab avoided his vitals, and in his wailing, took away his ability to move.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Ryota smiled with a bit of sadism: "There are many people in the imperial capital who want to kill you, and I'm not the only one missing. You should have fun.."
Suddenly, there was a whistling sound behind him.
Ryota turned his head slightly, and saw a dozen large ice thorns flying towards him.
The results speak for themselves.
The ice thorns slowed before they drew near, and stopped not far away, unable to advance an inch.
"Oh? What a strange ability…"
Esdeath pulled out the sword at her waist and walked ten meters away from Ryota.
