"Night Raid, looks like the main players have arrived." Dorthea mumbled.
Her eyes landed on Shobu, who tensed up.
"Shobu, nice to see you again~"
"Tch."
Leone gripped her fists. I don't like the way she said that.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter who's here, Cosmina's gotten even stronger." Dorthea stated, snapping her fingers.
Cosmina suddenly rose back up from the ground, the curse of Murasame gathering around the crystal on her chest, before the crystal shattered, so too did the curse vanish.
"Woah Woah! But didn't Murasame cut that thing!?" Leone shouted, confused.
"A substitute?" Akame asked.
Dorthea grinned, and Cosmina suddenly lashed one of her large scythe-like arms at them, slamming it hard into the ground, the members of Night Raid dodging the heavy blow, which left a deep crater in the ground.
"What the? What's going on here?" Leone asked, landing back on her feet.
"It's the Philosopher's stone, though I doubt you're familiar with it." Dorthea responded. "Just think of it as an omnipotent super item, which was used to make your Teigu." She added, addressing Akame.
"It's incredibly rare, so I only had one, but it's enough for me that it withstood Murasame once." She commented, smirking.
Akame rushed forward, intending on cutting Cosmina again, only for Izou to stand in the way, stopping her.
Akame let out a calm breath as she held out her drawn blade. I can do this!
"As a fellow blade wielder, I shall be your opponent." Izou stated.
"GWAAAAAAAH!" Cosmina shouted out.
Tatsumi gripped onto his blade. I've got four left. He thought, they're strong, don't let that hold you back!
"INCURSIOOOOO!"
Transforming, he jumped up at Cosmina, sending a kick out at her, she rose both her scythe arms to block the attack, but it still knocked her back.
"Leave her to me!" He shouted out. "Looks like this thing has a few tricks up it's sleeves, if we're going to do this right, it'll be too dangerous unequipped!"
"Hell yeah! I'll help out then, besides, that thing looks like a good punching bag!" Leone shouted, jumping after the two.
"Well well, they caught on." Dorthea mumbled, watching from a distance.
Some wind was kicked up behind her, and she glanced back to see Shobu coming to a stand, holding his hands out in preparation. "I've got a bone to pick with you, so thanks for being my opponent." He stated, smirking.
"...guess I don't have a choice." She responded, before licking her lips. "I can't wait to taste your blood again."
"Just try it."
Izou and Akame stared each other down, Izou's eyes traveling down to the unsheathed Murasame.
"So that's the legendary cursed blade, I see, it's almost eerily beautiful." He stated. "But, the brilliance of my own Kousetsu, is leagues above it!" He added, drawing his beloved blade.
"Allow me, to demonstrate."
He held the blade out, and suddenly blushed, speaking as though the blade had spoken to him, before smirking. "It seems your blood was special, Night Raid, Kousetsu is anxious to drink it again."
