Code: Infinity [Reboot]

Chapter 37 - Status Processing... (II)

Ignoring Kurome, Leone, and Bulat who were still fighting the Klaxosaurs and were trying to retreat, Zero Two quickly entered the base and rushed past the security as a passage opened for her.

The base was after all a Klaxosaur.

As soon as she rushed in, she quickly commanded the 'sleeping' Klaxosaur to finally wake up.

*Crack~!* *Bang!*

*Screech*

The ground cracked as the Klaxosaur started to transform into a dragon-like creature. Its scream caused the air to vibrate and caused all the living creatures to feel a sense of oppression.

As soon as the Klaxosaur woke up, a wing formed over its body, and its body started to change. The original long tunnels started to transform smaller, as the cuboid body slowly started to transform into that of a reptile.

*Flap* *Flap* *Flap*

As soon as it started to flap its wings, the surrounding Klaxosaur suddenly ceased their offensive. They slowly started to transform and disappear into the sky, leaving behind Kurome, Leone, and Bulat in fear and anger.

They could only watch the 'creatures' disappear into the cloud.

With that, Leone and Bulat's eyes finally fell on Kurome. They were ready to kill her, but they were also not in the best of condition to care. Just as they were about to engage, they saw a faint outline of two people walking toward the battlefield.

As soon as Najenda learned about the people walking toward the remaining Night Raid, her eyes became heavy as she quickly calculated the probability of winning. '30 to 40%.', With that thought she decided that all the sides had suffered too much damage.

Fighting against Esdeath and the additional ally of Jeagers, who have no injury, was nothing more than a gamble.

With a heavy heart, Najenda sighed and ordered Mine to let Leone and Bulat retreat while retrieving the Teigu left over at the battlefield.

"...", As soon as both of them received the order, they silently picked up their commemorate's Teigus and left. They were not dumb enough to continue fighting a match that could result in another death. And they were tired, both mentally and physically.

This, but was not the main reason. It was because they knew two people were walking toward them. If they fight now, they may be confident in winning the battle, but it could result in the death of any of them.

Looking at them retreating, Kurome also didn't chase back after them. Her eyes slowly wandered off to the red tie left on the battlefield. "...", With weak legs, she reached her sister's mashed body.

*Bam*

Her knees gave out as she kneeled in front of what remained of her sister's body. Clutching the red tie in her hands, she looked at it with dull eyes. Memories began to play in her mind. Her childhood, how Akame took care of her, how they joined the Empire, how Akame betrayed the Empire and escaped.

Her body began to tremble as she clutched her chest.

Her symptoms began to show themselves. Unlike her sister's talent, her body was not comparable at all. The only reason she survived was her Teigu, which allowed her to use other people's bodies as a form of necromancy.

But even with that. Even with the dead bodies she used to supplement her inferiority, Akame was just... Better.

This caused her to take drugs to strengthen herself.

*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* *Huff* *Huff*

Her body started to tremble at an alarming rate as her hollow eyes held the red tie of her sister.
