Chapter 69 First Hearing of Imperial Arms
Floating in mid-air, Broly blew on the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
I feel that I am becoming more and more proficient in controlling the power of the energy blasts transformed from qi.
This energy blast was perfect; it didn't blast through the mountain below, but only hit the areas that needed to be hit.
"Uncle Batu Nan, I've finished digging. Go and see if it can be used as a spring."
He descended from the sky, landing in front of the stunned crowd, and addressed Batu Nandao.
"Who exactly are you?"
Batu Nan asked the question.
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you. Um, my name is Broly, and I'm a Saiyan."
Batu Nan: "..."
Forget it, let's go see if the huge gap created by the blast can actually become a spring.
A group of well diggers, filled with awe for Broly, followed Batunan to investigate.
"You've probably found a god-like investor..."
These words could be faintly heard from the departing crowd.
Clearly, Broly's ability to destroy mountains at will exceeded their understanding as ordinary people.
Things beyond our comprehension are easily associated with theology, and some well diggers doubted whether the Oasis God was real.
Broly's energy blasts are green, and the word "green" also appears in the name of the Oasis God, so the two can definitely be linked together.
"How did you do that?"
This question seemed familiar; Akame and the others had asked him the same question, only now it was Esdeath asking it.
The girl from the north blushed slightly and looked at him expectantly, her face practically screaming, "I want to learn this trick too!"
"Did you use some kind of Imperial Arms?"
Merad was calmer, and the only power she could think of that could destroy half a small mountain in an instant was the power of the Imperial Arms.
"Teigan, what's that?"
Broly looked puzzled, and a faint green light appeared at his fingertips. A small energy ball condensed at his fingertips. He was demonstrating the process of condensing an energy ball to Esdeath and the curious Mine.
"Merard, watch closely, your brother did this with his bare hands, without using any tools."
The other child, who already knew this, said with a hint of pride, hands on hips.
"Can I touch it?"
Esdeath asked.
"This won't do; it's dangerous for you."
Broly casually pointed and tossed the energy ball on his fingertip toward a large rock not far away.
The big rock hadn't offended anyone, but it was still reduced to ashes.
Esdeath's eyes sparkled as she asked Broly for guidance and began doing something similar to what Akame and the others had done before: holding her breath, waving her fingers, and trying to unleash a wave.
Merad stared wide-eyed, finding it unbelievable. But instead of trying to release the energy blast she didn't understand, she took Broly's hand and began to examine it, seemingly trying to find some mechanism. Even when she put the boy's finger in her mouth and sucked on it, she couldn't taste anything other than salt.
"Could you please stop licking my fingers? They're a little itchy."
Broly moved his fingers and clamped down on Merard's nimble tongue, preventing the other from exploring between his fingers.
"Really no traps?!"
Having personally verified it, Merard had no choice but to accept the result.
"Merard, what was that Imperial Arm you mentioned earlier?"
After washing the sticky saliva off his hands, Broly asked out of curiosity.
He has never met anyone in this world who can generate waves like him.
The golden-haired guy I met in the last world could actually unleash energy blasts.
"The Imperial Arms are forty-eight weapons and tools that were developed by the first emperor who founded the empire a thousand years ago, using super dangerous materials, rare metals such as Orichalcos, and secret techniques that were collected from various places at the time and are now mostly lost. They are now difficult to replicate."
Merad introduced the Imperial Arms, pointing to the knife that Akame and Kurome were currently using as a kitchen knife: "Each Imperial Arm has a different function. The knife that Akame and Kurome are holding should be the Imperial Arms cursed sword [Murasame]. That cursed sword is said to have the ability to curse and kill those it cuts."
"Hey, this knife is actually poisoned?"
Upon hearing this, Akame immediately threw away the kitchen knife in her hand.
"It's not poison, but a curse technique, a lost secret art from a small island in the East."
Melard shook his head and explained.
"Furthermore, Imperial Arms are living weapons; they possess some kind of consciousness. If you throw it away like that, be careful that it might turn on you later."
The demon sword Murasame has a legend of devouring its master, and it is said that no one who obtains it has a good ending. However, this is probably just hearsay.
When Akame picked up the knife, she didn't find anything wrong with it. Even when Akame apologized and said she shouldn't have thrown it away, the demon kitchen knife made from the broken knife didn't respond.
"Perhaps because the sword broke, the consciousness of this Imperial Arm died."
This is the only explanation Melard could offer.
"Some Imperial Arms possess even greater destructive power. For example, the Pumpkin Turret, which has been active on some battlefields, can fire energy beams similar to the one Broly just fired."
As Merad was saying this, a pink head suddenly appeared. Who else could it be but Mine, who had failed to train with Esdeath on the energy blast?
Where is that thing?
The girl asked.
"The previous owner was assassinated by our assassin society, but there were other Imperial Arms users present at the time, so we were unable to seize the weapon from the Empire."
As for where that Imperial Arms is now, it's probably in the armory in the center of the Empire, which is located in the Imperial Palace and is heavily guarded.
In the past, the assassin society sent people to steal it, but none of them returned alive. After several failed attempts, we gave up.
Merad shared the information he knew, while Mine grew somewhat disappointed.
"Mine, do you want that thing?"
Seeing her disappointment, Broly couldn't help but ask.
"If you want it, I can go and buy that thing called Imperial Arms for you."
"The Empire will not sell Imperial Arms. Apart from the Imperial Arms that the Empire lost four hundred years ago and the Imperial Arms that were stolen by defeated Imperial Arms users, there are no other Imperial Arms outside."
Melard reminded him.
"I will offer them a deal they can't refuse."
Broly blurted it out without thinking.
"Are Imperial Arms really as good as you say? If so, I want one too."
Esdeath, realizing she couldn't unleash her energy blast, joined in and said something.
"Big brother, we want some too."
The other children all said they wanted one too.
"no problem."
Broly readily agreed.
"Hey, don't agree like you're going to the Empire to buy goods!"
These guys are now eyeing the Imperial Arms, which is far more dangerous than opening a spring in Katasi's territory.
