章節 27: Boss Fight 2
The flames were spewed towards Zero who just dodged to the side, still, a few of his snakes were burnt in the process, however just as they were killed, a few more appeared at his side.
'Go!' Zero pointed towards the Gravekeeper and most of the snakes lunged forward while the rest moved to encircle him.
The Gravekeeper used flames once again to get rid of the snakes coming at him from the front but when he was done with them, he had to swing his staff behind him to kill other snakes trying to ambush him. This left his back completely open to Zero who used the chance to lock his arms with the enemy's arms while locking his legs around the enemy's waist.
"Wha?!" The Gravekeeper certainly didn't expect Zero to attack himself since he threw all of his weapons down.
"Surprised? But I am not causing you any damage" Zero said with a cold smile which only looked more terrifying combined with his paler face. Before The Gravekeeper could shake him off, several snakes bit him into his heels, releasing toxins inside his body. Maybe it wasn't enough to kill him but it was enough to make him feel dizzy and kneel down on one knee.
Zero's grasp on him only strengthened due to this.
"Enjoy your meal" Zero ordered and around 20 quite large snakes lunged towards their prey.
"AGH! Don't look down on me! I am Weneg, the boss of all Gravekeepers and bearer of royal blood!" As all the snakes bit him and released their toxins, The Gravekeeper named Weneg shouted at the top of his lungs.
'Hm?' Zero noticed that Weneg opened his mouth while facing the ground so he quickly let go of him and ordered his snakes to completely entangle around his entire body as he jumped back.
As Zero predicted, Weneg spewed flames right below him which caused them to spread all around, even catching up to Zero but his snakes completely protected him.
*gasp* "My injuries are already in the process of healing, with such small injuries, you can't possibly expect to defeat me." Weneg said with his face covered in sweat.
"You sure are unfortunate..." Zero muttered while brushing the dust off his shoulders.
"What?" Weneg frowned at his words.
"Your ability to quickly heal is certainly nice but this is not a game. You have limited stamina so how can your stamina keep up with your accelerated healing? You are passively tough which only makes it for you hard to die. Your body is quite resistant to poisons but it will still sap your stamina to resist them. You will die slowly, suffering thousands after thousands bites from my snakes." Zero said before once again ordering his new snakes to attack Weneg from all sides.
"Y-You- cocky brat!" Weneg shouted with a bit panicked expression, showing that Zero's words had an effect on him.

On the side, Tsukushi and 3 other prisoners were watching the fight going on with shocked expressions, especially Tsukushi.
"Why the hell did you look so disappointed when he arrived?!" A girl whose shirt was completely torn asked Tsukushi with a confused expression.
"I-... He hasn't been part of the select team for that long, we still don't know how exactly strong he is." Tsukushi replied weakly.
"Gin, it's not like he is stronger than the previous guy. The way he uses his brain during the fight is the frightening factor." A blond guy said towards the girl who first asked.
"Yeah, G-Guy has never been the one to use his brain during the fights, ha-ha." Tsukushi said with a depressed laugh at the end.
"Natala is right. His way of fighting gives off a mysterious feeling. I have been watching their fight for several good minutes and I still couldn't get a good read on his movements and patterns. It's as if he doesn't have any preferred way of fighting." A black-haired girl noted while intensively watching Zero fight with Weneg.
"Seriously? Even you can't read his movements after such a long time, Kurome?!" Natala asked with a surprised expression and Gin had a similar reaction.
Kurome just nodded her head with a firm expression.

"Zero!" Cornelia, Green, and Akame arrived at the hall when the fight between Zero and Weneg was coming to an end.
"Don't attack him, he can return the physical damage you cause him to you!" Zero glanced at them and said with an indifferent expression. It wasn't even like Zero had an influence on his expression, in general, his pale face combined with a calm expression made him look cold-blooded.
"Sis!" Kurome shouted with a happy expression the moment she saw the group enter the hall.
"Kurome! Wait a second, we will get you out of here!" Akame's face brightened when she noticed her sister.
The "fight" between Zero and Weneg continued for a few more minutes without any interruptions before Weneg's entire body was covered in snake bites and his own blood. Calling it a fight would be an exaggeration, it was more like Weneg trying his best to stay alive.
*Bam* Weneg finally dropped down face first, completely exhausted, slowly dying from poisoning and blood loss.
Akame quickly run to her sister to free her from chains while Green and Cornelia went to check on Guy just to find out that he wasn't breathing anymore. Cornelia looked like she wanted to start crying but she was biting her lips, trying her best to look strong.
Zero glanced at Cornelia kneeling over Guy's body and shook his head with a disappointed expression. He joined Akame's side to free the prisoners but when he approached them, he just noticed something.
'Damn, those are some jugs. I can't believe they have been hanging there without me even noticing them. Well, I should stop staring considering that Guy's body lies in the same room, though, I bet he would encourage me if he was still here, heh' Zero thought with a slightly sad smile, he threw his coat over the girl's chest before freeing her.
"T-Thanks..." She pressed the coat to her chest to make sure it doesn't fall. Zero nodded his head and then freed Tsukushi who was missing her pants. Akame freed Kurome and one guy.
'It doesn't look like anything drastic happened here maybe except for groping...' Zero assumed from the girl's reaction.
"Thank you but what exactly happened to you, Zero?" Tsukushi asked with a concerned expression which finally caused the group of 3 to pay attention to Zero's changes.
Akame who was standing close to him seemed particularly curious as she was studying his face.
"I will explain everything later once we are outside. We just need to finish clearing up these tombs of the Gravekeepers so the Empire can retrieve the treasures. We managed to rescue the prisoners so let's move on, most of the strong Gravekeepers should be dead by now." Zero said and a small and short snake wrapped itself around his neck before nipping him and his pale face has regained its former tone, however, his black tear lines didn't disappear.
