Garou Ga Kill

Chapter 32: Garou vs Nightraid - Part 1

"I was slightly looking to meet Nightraid and see what their weapons can do. But it didn't cross my mind I already met you. Honestly, I thought you were a group of barbarian bandits with flashy weapons. After all, you didn't strike me as elite assassins" Garou said with all honesty.

Garou was brutally honest with them to the point they, especially the one he met previously, were surprised. The surprise faces quickly changed into twitching ones, then to angry. They thought Garou was insulting them, he might be stronger than them but to think they were just a group of bandits, that was simply too much, they were still a group of proud assassins.

"It is great you are here, now we can fight them together" Wave said with excitement. He still didn't forget Garou beating the shit out of them. Now, having the chance to fight on his side and watch his enemies be at the receiving side instead of him gave him a sense of twisted satisfaction. The rest of his friends didn't speak, but they all had similar thoughts, fighting Garou so many times alongside their general could be said to change the way of their thinking to a certain degree.

Nightraid's assassins tensed while Garou turned around as his eyes narrowed dangerously and said " care to repeat? It seems I didn't hear you correctly"

If Wave was not wearing his armour, then everyone could see his excited face distorting into a scared one. He was familiar with Garou enough to know when the guy was annoyed. The face he was making is the same one when his general goes overboard with flirting. Wave gulped and stuttered " I-I said ..."

"If you are going to say, we will fight together then I will break your legs and feed you to Seryu's dog" Garou interrupted Wave. His words made Wave go silent, and his face, under the armour, went pale. Wave took a step to the back and said "I'm sorry sir, I will not do it again, I swear"

"Wave, Dr Stylish needs help, he lost a lot of blood already! We need to retreat now. Garou doesn't need our help" Bols spoke with a low voice from the back. Wave turned around and looked at his teammate and nodded. He and the rest retreated alongside Bols and Kurome, leaving Garou to face Nightraid alone.

Kurome was the last to move, she stared at Garou's back then at her sister. She wanted to be the one to take down her sister, she wanted to object and ask Garou to let her fight Akame one-on-one. But deep down, she knew she was going to lose. Summoning and controlling all of these dolls took a considerable amount of her stamina. She didn't have much of her strength left to fight against Akame, let alone kill her. Kurome could only retreat with a reluctant face, but she didn't give her sister a last sad look.

Truthfully, no one among them thought Nightraid stood a chance. Garou was undisputedly the strongest. Also, they knew his strength to a certain extent, he was someone capable of fighting two great generals alongside six elite Teigues users and win. They were only a little disappointed because losing the chance of seeing Nightraid's painful demise.

Nightraid's assassins watched the four Jaegers retreat without making any move. They weren't fools if they attacked the Jaegers, they would have to fight Garou alongside Wave and Kurome which will not bode well for them. Garou alone was enough to keep their hands full, not to mention they will have a higher chance of beating him. They had the number advantage and the fact he didn't know what they could do boosted their confidence. Unfortunately for them, they didn't see Garou sparing before if they did, then they wouldn't have been so optimistic about their chances.

"So you are Garou, I wanted to meet you since I heard about your encounter with my subordinates" Najenda spoke.

"Hoh... So you are the leader, your name was Najenda, right? Esdeath spoke about you" Garou replied casually.
