Chapter 13
The Outsider, Lin Xuan

“Esdeath! You dare kill Minister Onest! Are you going to betray the Empire?!”

Shira looked up, her crimson eyes fixed on Esdeath.

Esdeath continued to leisurely wipe the blood off her blade with Onest's corpse, completely unfazed by Shira's words.

“Empire? Hmph, what if I, Esdeath, betray the Empire?”

“Good! Very good! Attack! Kill Esdeath!”

Following Shira's orders, the Wild Hunt members rushed forward, as if to completely tear Lin Xuan and the others to shreds.

【Kocho Shinobu: What's going on? Why are there so many enemies again, and they all look so powerful?】

【Yotsuya Mitsuko: Could it be that Kocho Shinobu is worried about Lin Xuan? If you're worried about Lin Xuan, you might as well worry about those who call themselves the Wild Hunt. With Lin Xuan there, they're all going to die.】

【Kocho Shinobu: You're right, I forgot Lin Xuan was here because he hasn't made a move in a while. So, Lin Xuan, what's your use? I haven't seen you make a move yet, it's always Esdeath and Akame killing people. Could it be that our God Slayer is just pretending?】

【Lin Xuan: Heh, I'm a little annoyed with them too. Since you want to see, I'll let you see my strength. When I go back to my world, dare you let me visit yours?】

【Kocho Shinobu: Is our God Slayer angry? I'm so scared, hurry to my world, just in time for the appearance of Douma.】

【Asuna: Okay, okay, Shinobu-nee, just say a few less words.】

Snapping out of the chat group, Lin Xuan's cold eyes stared at the few people in front of him. His tasks had just been completed, but a few flies had popped up, so annoying…!

“You're like a bunch of flies, so annoying! White Horse!”

Lin Xuan looked at the few people in front of him as if they were already dead. He raised his right hand, pointing his index finger forward, a dazzling light bursting from his fingertips.

“You dare point at the adults, I'll chop off your fingers…”

Before Yan Xin finished speaking, the white light at Lin Xuan's fingertips grew even stronger, detaching from his finger in an instant and spewing out towards the group.

If anyone had exceptionally good eyesight, they would definitely see the white horse galloping within that dazzling white light.

“No! Ah!”

Kosmiya let out a scream of panic, pressing the Imperial Arm Earth Sound against her lips. Almost instantly, a wave of ultrasound spread out.

But such a mere ultrasonic wave couldn't stop the white horse released by Lin Xuan. Seeing this, Shira decisively activated her Imperial Arm, Shangri-La.

The terrifying white light instantly enveloped the group, and scorching flames devoured their figures completely.

When the white light disappeared, the Wild Hunt members were nowhere to be seen.

No! The entire ministerial mansion had vanished! Only the floor beneath Lin Xuan and the others remained.

They were surrounded by a huge pit, and the floor they were standing on was suspended in the air.

“All… dead?”

Akame's expression was somewhat stunned. Although they, Night Raid, had killed many people, they were only killing the wicked nobles, not a single innocent civilian was harmed.

How many civilians were in the entire ministerial mansion? They were all instantly evaporated!

【Asuna: It's… done? The power is so great! Is this the strength of a Fourth-Rank? You can kill so many people with just a flick of your finger!】

【Yotsuya Mitsuko: !!!】

【Kocho Shinobu: !!!】

【Yotsuya Mitsuko: I thought Lin Xuan would just kill those in front of him, I didn't expect him to even spare the entire mansion!】

【Kocho Shinobu: It's really a bit cruel, there must have been many civilians in such a big mansion!】

【Lin Xuan: Cruel? That's how the world is. You guys live in a relatively peaceful world, you haven't experienced it. But for Akame, is this cruel? The existence of the Empire, how many ordinary people have been killed? The demons in Kocho Shinobu's world, how many ordinary people have been killed? The Heretical Gods who descended in my world, how many ordinary people die each time they descend? Countless!】

【Lin Xuan: To achieve lasting peace, occasional pain is bearable. So I killed all the Heretical Gods and God Slayers, killing them until the Heretical Gods dared not descend, killing them until all the God Slayers are under my control.】

【Lin Xuan: The same goes for Akame's world. Minister Onest is dead, but his minions are still alive. Can you be sure there are no people from the minister in this mansion?】

【Lin Xuan: Actually, I don't agree with Akame's way of handling this. If it were me, I would make the entire capital disappear from the map, but this is Akame's world, so let's follow her wishes.】

Lin Xuan's words had a huge impact on them. They lived in a peaceful world and had never thought about these issues.

Even Kocho Shinobu, her opponents were not her own kind, but demons, creatures that were not human.

Kocho Shinobu's expression became calm. She was in the most difficult position, and the one who could most easily understand Lin Xuan's actions.

If it were her, if she could eliminate all the demons, she wouldn't hesitate.

The people in the ministerial mansion were essentially no different from demons. If they were allowed to live, they would also lurk in the shadows, accumulate power, and then disrupt the country.

Although her heart ached, there was no doubt that for enemies, the most reliable method was to kill them all!

“How about it? Akame, should we continue?”

Lin Xuan lowered his head and looked at the stunned Akame.

He knew that this matter was a bit of a blow to Akame.

For Akame, her mission was assassination, but she only assassinated princes and nobles, never civilians.

Najenda would never let her hurt civilians.

But she also felt that there was some truth to Lin Xuan's words. If they wanted the Empire to move in a better direction, then the minister absolutely could not be spared.

Who could guarantee that there were no loyalists of the minister in the ministerial mansion?

For a moment, Akame even wanted to follow Lin Xuan's words and let him directly destroy the entire capital, and then let Najenda rebuild a new capital.

But ultimately, she gave up.

Not all the citizens in the capital were bad people. Among them were people like her, people who had been ruined and couldn't afford food because of the minister.

She didn't have the right to make such a rash decision about their lives.

So Akame shook her head, and her eyes were filled with determination.

“Lin Xuan, let's go to the palace. The young emperor, although he was manipulated by the minister during this period, he is no longer suitable to manage this entire country. Najenda won't let him manage it either.”

Lin Xuan's time in this world was limited. She needed to accomplish everything within that limited time.
