Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

Leone dealt with the nearby guards and returned to find Akame confronting Tatsumi. She teased him.

"mission completed!"

A burly, dark figure clad in armor appeared, speaking in a powerful voice.

"Do you need me to hang him for you, Akame?"

Lubbock stood in mid-air, his feet on silken threads, looking down at Tatsumi.

Akame did not respond.

He gripped the demon sword and charged at Tatsumi, the blade flashing, but all his consecutive slashes were blocked by Tatsumi.

"What am I...?"

Although Tatsumi retreated repeatedly, his steel short sword kept crashing into the demon sword, and Akame was unable to break through his defenses.

Even he was stunned.

When did I become so strong?

Even ignoring physical attributes, judging from the fighting skills of the black-haired, red-eyed girl when she killed, he was definitely no match for her.

"Not bad at all, you were actually able to fight Akame to a standstill!"

Brand, who was watching the game, was also surprised.

Is he a newly hired bodyguard for the wealthy family? He's quite capable; even most imperial soldiers don't have that kind of strength.

His control over the fine steel short sword clearly indicates he was taught by a master.

"Who is he? His name is not in the wealthy merchant's records."

"It seems they were deceived by a wealthy businessman. They are newcomers to the capital and are still in the dark."

Leone thought for a moment, and it seemed that he had seen this kid at the Imperial Army recruitment office during the day.

The other party seemed to have just arrived in the capital, but because they didn't know the rules and didn't give the imperial soldiers any money, they were kicked out.

I originally intended to extort money from the other party.

He tried to discourage her from leaving the capital, but she was attracted by Fang Yi, who seemed to be even richer, so she didn't commit a crime.

"Red Eyes, don't kill him yet!"

Chapter 405 The Blessed Short Sword, Imperial Arms?

Brand's imposing figure appeared behind Akame, his hands pressing down on Akame's shoulders.

If it weren't for his intervention...

Even if Tatsumi suddenly becomes stronger, he will be stabbed through the heart with the next blow.

Akame remained silent.

If it weren't for his capricious and terrible personality, Brand would have been the acting captain of Night Raid long ago, and he wouldn't have to worry about those troublesome trivial matters.

And now he's even trying to spare the enemy during the fight.

Brand asked curiously, "Are you a young person who has just arrived in the capital?"

to be frank,

Brand couldn't bear to let such a young man with ideals, ambitions, and considerable potential die.

Recruiting them into the revolutionary army is the best option.

"You cold-blooded bastards, for money you actually killed Miss Arya's entire family. Aren't you afraid of the curse of the dead?"

Tatsumi wasn't happy about surviving the ordeal; he just glared at them angrily.

"curse?"

The Night Raid members wore mocking expressions, while Brand said in a deep voice, "You blinded boy, I will show you who will be cursed and who will be punished by the undead!"

No further explanation is needed.

Brand turned and walked toward the warehouse, preparing to break it down and expose the truth.

at this time,

Tatsumi moved, wielding a steel short sword that knocked away Akame's demon sword with a single strike, and then charged towards Brand, who was trapped behind him by a large gap.

"You guy?!"

Akame's expression changed slightly as she felt the throbbing pain and numbness in her hand, and she quickly chased after him.

But found that

Tatsumi, who was originally only able to barely hold his own against him, suddenly unleashed an astonishing speed, rushing behind Brand in just two seconds.

stab...

The steel short sword slashed through the Imperial Arms [Demon Possessed], emitting a piercing shriek.

Brand didn't even turn his head. He grabbed Tatsumi, who was attacking him, and snatched the steel short sword from his wrist.

"Brand!"

Brand heard his companions calling and turned his head in confusion.

Seeing their expressions of surprise and uncertainty, he waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, my [Demon Possession] is an armor-type Imperial Arm, even Akame's demon sword can't..."

He was halfway through his sentence when...

Following his companions' gaze, Brand saw a thumb-sized scratch on his armor.

It wasn't deep; it didn't penetrate the armor, and Brand was unharmed.

but……

This is the Imperial Arm [Demon Possessed]!

The Imperial Arms are made from ferocious and dangerous dragon species.

Its impenetrable defensive capabilities are not a boast of the Teigu users, but a reputation bestowed upon the Teigu by countless slain enemies.

"Possessed by an evil spirit...?"

Mine couldn't help but cover her mouth.

During a night raid training test, it was found that even his Imperial Arm [Pumpkin Turret] could not penetrate Brand's armor.

It was actually pierced by a seemingly unremarkable fine steel short sword?

"Is it an Imperial Arms?"

"I didn't expect you to possess a sword-type Imperial Arms. This is quite an unexpected bonus."

Brand was initially shocked, but then burst into laughter.

He didn't care that the Imperial Arm was destroyed. The characteristic of being possessed by evil spirits is that it can evolve infinitely. With just a little training, the broken parts can be repaired.

the most important is,

Not only does Tatsumi have a warm heart, but he also possesses outstanding combat skills and potential, and he even comes with a sword-type Imperial Arm.

If they become members of the Night Raid, they are more likely to kill the minister.

"Teigan, what's that?"

Tatsumi had never heard of anything related to the Imperial Arms.

Forty-eight Imperial Arms sounds like a lot, but they are scattered across the entire continent and are pitifully few in number. Ordinary people have never even heard of them.

"A powerful device made from super-dangerous species, possessing various abilities."

Brand raised his steel short sword and explained, "Just like your short sword, which can pierce through my demonic possession, it's definitely an Imperial Arm..."

suddenly,

His pupils trembled slightly as black game text appeared in his vision.

【Blessed Steel Short Sword (Purple)】: A blessed steel short sword. Hold it tight and you will be a battle-hardened warrior.

"Word?"

Brand shook his head, trying to dispel the hallucinatory words before him.

But no matter what I do, I can't do it.

As long as he grips the fine steel short sword, the text will automatically pop up after his gaze lingers for a few seconds.

It's like a written description.

He shared the information about this fine steel dagger with himself.

"A 10-point increase in all four attributes, [Short Sword Mastery Lv.5], and the active skill [Power Burst] can briefly boost all attributes?"

Brand mumbled as he spoke about the information on the fine steel short sword.

then,

He felt that he seemed to have become stronger?

Just like the description of this fine steel short sword, it embodies strength, agility, spirit, physique...

A complex short sword technique even came to mind.

Shaking off the struggling Tatsumi,

Brand planted the Redback Shrike, the secondary weapon of [Possessed], into the ground, gripped the steel short sword, and charged toward Akame.

boom!

As the sword blade continued to strike, Akame retaliated decisively, gripping the demon sword with both hands and holding it beside her. She felt the immense force emanating from the short sword, causing her to repeatedly retreat to dissipate the force.

Brand was once an Imperial soldier, and even after becoming a Night Raid assassin, his attack methods remained wide open and powerful.

Especially when paired with [Possessed by Evil Spirits], it becomes as tough and resilient as a tank in battle.

but,

Now, his battle with Akame is like that of a nimble swordsman wielding a short sword with effortless skill.
