Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Chapter 20 - Garou Displaying His Might

Esdeath eyed Garou with caution, the ice still covering his feet to prevent him from moving, but her instincts told her that he was as free as before. Her face took a serious look as she asked " Is this some kind of a martial art stance? "

Garou kept his grin as she spoke " Yes, it is called 'rock smashing water stream fist'. Be proud, you are the first one to be at the receiving end of this art since my arrival. I guarantee you won't be disappointed "

Esdeath didn't know what was coming and she didn't want to find out. She raised her hand preparing to shoot ice spears toward Garou, but to her and everyone shock, Garou punched the arena ground.

The arena itself cracked like biscuits under the terrifying blow, the part where Esdeath was standing rose in the air causing her lose balance, even the stadium wasn't spared, the cracks extended toward it covering it completely.

Garou didn't stop there, he jumped toward Esdeath at alarming speed. Esdeath didn't hesitate to create an ice wall with thickness of 2 meters between her and Garou. But It was not even remotely close to stopping him. He punched again causing the ice and the ground chunk floating under her to shatter while she herself was sent crashing amongst the audience.

Screams filled the stadium at the horrifying display of power, people started to run out of the stadium in fear for their lives. Even Himiko forced the children to leave, this was not a simple matches anymore. Just the collateral damage alone might kill them if they stayed. When the strong fight, the weak wails. It was as simple as that.

Wave who was the closest to the arena and the one who suffered the most. Esdeath might be the direct target of Garou's attack, but she still have a thick ice wall saving her life not mention she was far stronger than him physically. He was currently planted in the wall just like Hans earlier but luckily he didn't have any broken teeth or bones just pain and bruises at most.

Wave gathered his strength to move forward freeing himself, he looked at Garou with terror but hearing the screams around him, he steeled himself to fight stop Garou. He took out his taigu and planted it in the ground as he screamed < Grand Chariot >

Steel and chains came from the ground surrounding him and taking the form of an armor. His imperial arm took the shape of a body armor. It increased his strength and speed greatly in addition to the protection provided by the armor.

Wave jumped toward Garou who was looking at the downed general with his scary grin. When he was close to Garou he was about to punch him as he screamed " Stop right …..."

But before he could finish his words or hit, Garou like a ghost turned around and took a few steps closer to him then sent dozens of punches toward Wave sending him along with his armor crashing through the stadium. Wave's body pierced through the stadium and came out of the other side falling on the street outside. All of that happened in a mere instant, not allowing Wave to react at all.

Wave could feel the blood in his mouth and the pain in his c.h.e.s.t, if not for the armor he would have definitely died just now !!! He looked down at his armor and saw the armor was bent in different places. Garou's punches bent his armor !!!

Wave stood up preparing to go in again, he wasn't going to give up like this even if it meant to pay his life !!!

" Wave!!! Are you okay?? " A blond man came flying from the sky with wings on his back

" Rin !! What are you doing here??? We have to go back and help general Esdeath!!!" Wave screamed hurriedly

" Our priority is to evacuate the civilians!! The general can hold her own, we need to make sure the people are safe as fast as possible so we could go back to help her " Rin spoke rationally.

Wave hated to admit it but Rin was right, he started to help people evacuate when he heard another explosion from his behind.

He turned around and saw huge spikes of ice coming out of the stadium, the general was going all out inside there !!! But he felt the ground shaking again, he knew the guy inside was going on a rampage. Wave felt cold sensation washing all over him. Similarly the people who were still escaping felt fear, was this the strength of a human ?

Inside the arena, Garou was like an ice crushing machine, he kept destroying Esdeath's ice waves and spears, while the latter didn't stop shooting ice at him doing her best to keep him away from her. But despite all of her efforts, each time she used a move or skill, Garou would crush it with sheer force, but the next time she uses it again, he will dodge it or redirect the attack toward her with minimal effort. The fight was becoming harder and harder for her. The worst of all, Garou wasn't slowing down nor showing signs of getting tired anytime soon.

Seeing Garou getting closer and closer to her, Esdeath had no choice but to create an ice tower under her feet to create some distance with Garou. She made sure to fill the tower body with ice spikes to slow him down.

The tower was so huge that even those who were dozens of kilometers away could see it clearly. The people closer to the stadium where the fight was going on, gaped at the sight before them. Even the assassins and the jaegers two members were shocked. The strength these two were displaying was right down inhumane.

______________________________________________________________________________

In the imperial palace, The prime minister was walking with the young emperor in the palace halls, behind them was the great commander Bodou.

" Thanks for your worries general, but his majesty knows how to handle it " The prime minister said mockingly

Again this foolish general objecting the actions of his people, but it all fell to a deaf ear. The young emperor would only listen to him. If not for the man being useful to protect the palace, he would have long since got rid of him.

" What is that ??" the young emperor asked

The prime minister and the general looked from the window where the young emperor was looking and widened their eyes. A huge majestic tower of ice in the middle of the city.

" It must be general Esdeath, what does she think herself doing " General bodou said angrily. To use such a power in the middle of the city was not something he would approve.

" She must be facing a strong enemy " The prime minister said as he frowned a little. Which idiot with attack that woman in the middle of the day and inside the imperial capital.

Similar to the three of them, the rest of the jaegers watched the sight from other locations. All of them had the same thought, to go there and check the situation.

Moments later, The tower started breaking down and shattering. But the next thing they saw made their eyes widen. Even the prime minister was shocked by what was going.

" This f.u.c.k.i.n.g bitch went crazy !!! Where does she think herself ??" Bodou cursed in rage despite the presence of the emperor, he really couldn't tolerate what was going on.

The emperor and the minister didn't even care what he was saying as they were watching the sight in front of them.

But no one was more shocked than the people near the battle location, to these people all of a sudden a huge shadow covered them. When they looked up, they saw a huge mountain of ice descending from the sky in a grand and terrifying manner.

" RUN!!!!" Wave and Rin Screamed waking people from their trance. If they stayed here, they all will be killed. This fight was going out of the hand.

People were running faster than ever for their lives, everyone was running away. When they heard the sound of explosions ringing above them again. They didn't dare to look up and continued running. Only the two jaegers and the 3 assassins looked up and were shocked yet again.

The huge mountain of ice was breaking to pieces in the middle of air. They didn't know what was going on. But whatever it was, it was not something they could mess with. These two are real monsters!!!

Huge ice chunks fill down from the sky destroying the close buildings. Luckily, thanks to the fear induced adrenaline rush and the two jaegers fast reactions no one of the people was killed or harmed.

The two jaegers were about to head back to check the state of their general when they were called " WAVE !! RIN !!!"

Wave and Rin turned around and saw the rest of their teammates coming their way. They were glad to see them here.

" What is going on here ??" Dr stylish asked

" No time for explanation, we have to help general Esdeath" Wave shouted as he ran in. The rest of the jaegers followed closely behind him

Unknown to them three assassins were right behind them keeping distance but seeing everything was happening.

The 6 jaegers ran pass huge boulders and chunks of ice. The dust was covering the area and when it was finally thinned a little, they saw their general nearing on the ground with her rapier broken next to her, she saw using a sword made of ice to keep herself from completely falling on the ground, she was breathing heavily, and her body was covered with wounds.

Blood oozed from her wounds. Blood coming out from a wound on her head stained her blue hair and part of her face in red, she coughed some blood as her hands, shoulders and even her legs had cuts covering them. Their proud and strong general was reduced to such a miserable state was beyond their expectations.

More and more dust cleared out showing Garou's body. The man responsible for Esdeath's injuries stood there calmly not showing any signs of being tired, his body had no visible wounds or bruises. The only thing that showed he was in a fierce battle was the dust on his clothes if that could even be considered as proof considering the surrounding state.

There was no doubt, the empire's strongest and undefeated general has just tasted defeat at the hands of this man. A thorough and crushing one.

" Not bad blue, You proved to be a decent warmup indeed hehehe " Garou laughed casually.

The jaegers and the assassins hidden in the back shivered hearing his words. All of this destruction considered a warm up? How could they possibly know the battles and destruction Garou witnessed in his original World.
