The intense battle unfolded in the dimly lit park, with both sides fighting fiercely.
If this were according to the original plot, Sheele would very likely perish in this battle.
However, now, an irresistible force had been drawn into the plot's destiny, and things would certainly no longer develop in that manner.
The battle between the two sides had entered a white-hot stage. Overall, Mine and Sheele of Night Raid seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Sheele, wielding the massive scissor Imperial Arm, Extinction, was locked in an inextricable battle with the Imperial Arm, Beast, Little Bill.
She had already lost count of how many times she had cut and injured the body of the Imperial Arm, Beast, Little Bill. Yet, after so long and so many rounds, she still hadn't found the beast's core weakness, nor had she been able to land a fatal blow on it.
The enemy was a biological-type Imperial Arm with astonishing regenerative abilities and seemingly inexhaustible stamina. If this continued, Sheele would be in deep trouble.
Although Sheele's attacks remained fierce, after such a prolonged engagement, her stamina was significantly depleted, and her movements had slowed. Several times, she barely managed to evade Little Bill's gaping, bloodied maw by the narrowest of margins.
Mine's situation was no more optimistic than Sheele's.
While the laser power unleashed by her Imperial Arm, Roman Artillery: Pumpkin, was certainly impressive, it was incredibly difficult to land a hit on Seryu, who darted and shifted around erratically.
If it didn't hit, it was utterly useless!
Mine, holding her Imperial Arm and continuously firing lasers, frowned, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
This woman was absolutely insane; she dared to constantly charge forward and fight her to the death with just a single sword, even though she had already...
...repelled her many times, this person simply grew braver with each setback!
Looking closely at Seryu, her shoulders, waist, and thighs were gushing with fresh blood, injuries sustained from not dodging Mine's lasers in time.
Seryu utterly ignored these wounds on her body, her face contorted in a ferocious, mad grin as she relentlessly attacked.
Mine hastily counterattacked with long-range lasers.
This couldn't continue. Mine also expended stamina to fire lasers from Pumpkin. If this went on, Mine's stamina might very well be depleted first, and then disaster would strike.
Stamina! It had now become a massive problem plaguing the two members of Night Raid.
The battle raged on, growing increasingly fraught, developing in a direction highly unfavorable to the two members of Night Raid.
If they dragged this out any longer, it would inevitably attract the attention of high-level forces in the Imperial Capital. When the army eventually cornered them, Sheele and Mine would find it incredibly difficult to escape.
Tonight, only the two of them from Night Raid had been deployed. It would be incredibly difficult for Sheele and Mine to wait for backup from their comrades.
Both of them clearly recognized that they had to quickly defeat this madwoman and her biological-type Imperial Arm.
Just as the battle grew desperate, a series of calm footsteps sounded from beside the park battlefield. The footsteps went from distant to near, clearly approaching them.
Mine, Sheele, and Seryu, all well-trained combatants, quickly heard and identified these footsteps amidst the various loud noises of battle, despite the intensity.
Someone was coming? Who was it? From the Imperial Capital, or Night Raid?
Such anxious questions immediately arose in all three of their hearts.
As if by tacit understanding, both sides simultaneously paused their battle.
Sheele and Mine quickly retreated to one side, while Seryu also summoned her Imperial Arm, Beast, Little Bill, to withdraw to the other. Both sides faced each other, yet simultaneously focused on the direction of the approaching footsteps.
The temporarily halted battle instantly returned the park battlefield to the night's stillness, a deathly silence that only highlighted the approaching footsteps, making them increasingly clear, louder, and closer.
Presumably, everyone can imagine, late at night...
...in the Imperial Capital, upon hearing such fierce battle sounds, not only would one not hide far away, but instead approach with great interest to join the commotion? Who else could this person be but Uchiha Madara?
With unhurried steps, Uchiha Madara walked into the park, standing beneath the light of a streetlamp, and appeared before the three individuals from both factions.
In that instant, Sheele, Mine, and Seryu simultaneously fixed their sharp gazes on Uchiha Madara!
Seryu was relatively calm, as she had never seen Uchiha Madara before and didn't recognize him.
But Sheele and Mine were a different story.
The two of them had seen portraits of Uchiha Madara before, and instantly recognized him. Their bodies stiffened, their expressions tense, as if facing a formidable foe!
Seryu observed the change in Sheele and Mine's demeanor. He looked strangely at the two Night Raid members, then turned his gaze to Uchiha Madara standing nearby, frowning slightly.
Now, the situation on site had shifted again, turning into three factions with four formidable individuals.
On Night Raid's side, Sheele and Mine inwardly groaned in despair. That madwoman was already hard enough to handle, but now this scourge, who would destroy the Revolutionary Army, had appeared! Was it their absolute misfortune today?
Seryu, on her side, didn't understand who Uchiha Madara was, but seeing the sudden apprehension the two Night Raid assassins felt towards this person, she felt both wary and confused.
Uchiha Madara, on his side... was probably the calmest of them all.
He looked at Sheele and Mine until their hair stood on end, only then did Uchiha Madara cease his gaze, which seemed to penetrate everything, and turned towards Seryu.
He finally spoke, breaking the heavy silence between the three factions:
"Seryu, I know you. You're a little girl from the Imperial Capital Police Force. To be frank, my target tonight is these two girls from Night Raid. How about you give me some face?"
Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Seryu's expression instantly turned vicious, her tone cruel as a malevolent spirit:
"Huh? You want to save them?! Since you're colluding with Night Raid and are an enemy of justice, then I have one more target to eliminate tonight!"
Cruel killing intent permeated Seryu's body, her target clear and pointed directly at Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow, and shook his head:
"No, you misunderstand. I'm not trying to save them. It's just that I'm short on grunts, so I'm thinking of recruiting them both to work for me."
