Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

"Am I dazzled?"

"Is Brand's short sword skill really that good?"

"And his physical abilities, have they gotten even stronger?"

Akame retreated steadily, eventually widening the distance between them, no longer wanting to be Brand's guinea pig.

The people who participated in the night raid were all filled with confusion and shock.

The usually kind-hearted and guileless older brother had secretly practiced short sword skills, a fact they had kept hidden until now.

"It's a short sword?!"

Akame was the first to notice the key point, and looking at Brand with a solemn expression, she asked.

She had a brief battle with Tatsumi.

Brand's short sword technique was very similar to Tatsumi's, but due to their different physical abilities, the two used it very differently.

Brand, whose fighting skills have always been rough, was able to overwhelm the Night Raid members with his sturdy armor and immense strength, becoming the strongest in Night Raid.

And now,

Brand, having mastered the art of the short sword, is like a savage beast that has learned the skill.

Akame had no doubt that if the two were to fight to the death, she would be killed by the short sword Brand within minutes.

"That's right, what an amazing Imperial Arm! It actually grants me the short sword skills I've honed over decades, and it can also enhance my strength, speed, and reflexes..."

Brand was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something.

Even though he hadn't taken off [Demon Possessed] and had already activated one of the Ferocious Dragon-type Imperial Arms, he was still able to use a second Imperial Arm.

There was no mental or physical breakdown?

Furthermore, because the [spirit] and [physical] attributes were enhanced, the burden of being possessed by evil spirits was not as great as before.

Chapter 406 Tatsumi: Who can save my comrades!?

"This situation is unlike any other Imperial Arms. It's so strange?"

Brand frowned and shared his doubts with the Night Raid members.

Before anyone else could react,

Leone's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Being able to wield two Imperial Arms at the same time, and do so with ease, is just like the game merchant I met!"

Fang Yi displayed two completely different abilities back then, which seemed very easy for him.

Brand's current situation is remarkably similar.

Brand walked up to Tatsumi and asked with a serious expression, "Kid, do you know where this sword came from?"

"This fine steel short sword was forged for me with money pooled together by the entire village. Give it back to me!"

Even Akame, who almost killed him, was easily defeated by Brand.

Tatsumi understood the opponent's strength, but his gaze remained indifferent, like a red-backed shrike stuck in the ground, guarding the warehouse door tightly.

"No way."

Brand shook his head and said, "A blessed short sword, such a special weapon, not only has the strength of an Imperial Arms, but can also get rid of the side effects of an Imperial Arms. How could it be a weapon that an ordinary blacksmith could forge?"

Judging from Tatsumi's clothes, the village is probably not wealthy.

Let alone him, even if the ministers of the capital wanted to gather the resources of the whole country, it would be difficult to forge such a special product.

After all, an emperor had tried it before, but he only managed to forge the tools for his subjects.

Tatsumi said coldly, "I am not a Night Raid who indiscriminately kills innocent people. I don't lie. This short sword is worth nine gold coins, which is the money that everyone has saved up for half a year!"

He had just finished speaking when he noticed two words Brand had said.

bless?

Suddenly, I recalled that when I parted ways with Mr. Fang Yi, he seemed to pick up a short sword and say it was a blessing for me.

Immediately afterwards, I felt as if my body had become stronger.

There's also the swordsmanship he displayed while fighting Akame, and the immense power he unleashed when he broke free from Akame's sneak attack on the armored man...

Clearly, the fact that this short sword attracted Night Raid's attention is most likely related to Mr. Fang Yi.

no,

We cannot admit it, and we certainly cannot implicate Mr. Fang Yi, otherwise these bloodthirsty killers will definitely kill us to silence us.

Thinking of this, Tatsumi turned his head away nonchalantly.

just,

The simple and naive country boy, Tatsumi, with his sly and obsequious demeanor, seemed to be saying, "I've got some crucial information, come and torture me."

"If you don't talk, I'll kill you!"

Akame approached, holding the demon sword to Tatsumi's neck.

Tatsumi was pale.

The cold touch of the blade against his skin made his breathing quicken, but he remained silent.

Brand grabbed Akame's arm and shook his head slightly, signaling her to put down the demon sword and not frighten Tatsumi.

The demonic blade is deadly, capable of killing on sight.

If he accidentally killed Tatsumi, that kind-hearted fool, he would really have a guilty conscience.

"Young man, the darkness of the capital is often disguised by a layer of brilliance."

Brand's expression turned serious. He grabbed the redback shrike, gripped the spear shaft tightly, leaned back slightly, and then hurled it.

Boom.

The warehouse door, constructed of thick steel plates and rivets, was pierced by a thrown redback shrike.

A panicked scream came from inside the warehouse.

Before Tatsumi could react,

Brand walked up to the hole pierced by the redback shrike, grabbed the edge of the curled steel plate with both arms, and, like a brown bear tearing apart a beehive, easily ripped open a crack in the steel gate, allowing a person to pass through.

goooo...

Tazumi swallowed hard.

To be honest, the villagers wouldn't take out their savings to forge a short sword for no reason. The reason they were willing was because he was considered a swordsman that the village had only seen once in a century.

They bear the hopes of the villagers to escape poverty.

Tatsumi was also very confident in his strength, and along the way, he easily hunted down several dangerous species.

However, compared to the armored man who tore apart the steel door with his bare hands, he felt like an immature wolf cub encountering the wolf king.

With such abilities, he chose to become an assassin instead of thinking about serving his country.

what a pity.

Thinking about this, Brand's impression on Tatsumi became even worse.

"Come in. I hate to say it, but... welcome to the real capital!"

Brand sighed, went into the warehouse, and gestured for Tatsumi to follow.

Tatsumi couldn't figure out what the other person wanted to say, but seeing Akame's menacing gaze behind him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the warehouse.

As soon as I stepped inside, a putrid stench hit me.

Inside the sweltering, dimly lit warehouse, blood-soaked shadows hung upside down.

Tatsumi's first reaction

This was Arya's family's meat storage warehouse, but as his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, he suddenly froze.

"This is...a person?"

Tatsumi's eyes widened, and he felt dizzy.

Hundreds of dark figures were hanging up, all of them people who had died in various gruesome ways. Horrifying iron instruments were placed on the iron table, clearly used to torture them.

"The Aria family appears to be kind and wealthy, but their hearts are twisted and dark. They often abduct young people who have just arrived in the capital and lock them in a warehouse for abuse..."

Mine looked at Tatsumi with pity.

If the night raid hadn't struck early, Tatsumi would probably have become one of these traitors.

"Tatsumi, quick...stop them!"

Hiding in the corner, Aria looked terrified and kept looking for something to cover herself.

Tatsumi did not speak.

He just stared blankly at the dark figure in the center of the warehouse, whose hands were bound by wooden shackles and who was hanging from the ceiling.

She was a girl about the same age as Tatsumi.

Now it's a corpse, covered in knife wounds, burns, bruises from being hit by a heavy hammer, and severed limbs.

"Sayu?!"

Tatsumi's voice trembled, and he unconsciously knelt down on the ground.

The girl's corpse before him was his childhood sweetheart from the same village, his companion whom he had been separated from for many days.

The girl's once proud long black hair was now covered in all sorts of filthy liquids, corroded and looking like a bird's nest, with large chunks of scalp peeled off...

Mine said disdainfully, "This is the person you want to protect? Just a dark corner of the capital, a sadistic family!"

"No...they're talking nonsense!"

Aria also knew that all the guards had been killed, and now only Tatsumi was left. She couldn't let the other side discover the truth.

She put on a weak and pitiful look and argued, "I have no idea what's going on here. It has nothing to do with me. Have you forgotten that I'm the one who took you in, Brother Tatsumi?"

“Tatsumi…”
