A weak voice came from inside the dark cage.

Tatsumi pushed open the steel gate, and moonlight streamed in, illuminating the figure speaking.

"As?!"

Tatsumi's throat tightened as he stared in disbelief at his companion locked in the cage.

As was covered in wounds, unlike Shayou's.

His injuries resembled some kind of viral infection, with festering skin and a pungent stench emanating from it.

Tatsumi showed no disgust, kicked open the cell door, and carried As to the moonlight so he could breathe fresh air.

"It's Arya, she...she's a demon!"

"She tortured Sayu, plucking out Sayu's hair strand by strand and cutting off Sayu's scalp..."

“I was also injected with the virus and treated like livestock, so that they could observe the virus’s reaction in my body.”

“It hurts so much…”

"Thank goodness you're alright, Tatsumi."

His companion gasped for breath, inhaling the long-awaited fresh air. The virus had completely erupted within him, relentlessly tormenting his nerves.

Mine grabbed the devilish young lady by the collar, threw her outside the warehouse, and sneered, "Still trying to lie?"

Seeing that things had come to this point,

Desperate, Aria tore off her disguise and roared, "I did nothing wrong! You lowly people are no better than livestock. I only killed two animals, and even the officials in the capital didn't punish me. What right do you have to do this?!"

Tatsumi remained silent, walked to Brand's side, and took his fine steel short sword.

puff!

With a single slash,

The knife wound started from her shoulder and extended all the way to her abdomen, cutting Aria in half at the waist while she was still cursing wildly.

Bangdang...

The fine steel dagger fell to the ground.

Tatsumi held his companion's hand, feeling the other's body gradually cooling down and the body convulsing from the torment of the virus.

Tears rolled down like raindrops.

"Yas, don't die, Yas!"

"Who...who can save Yass?!"

Tatsumi held his companion, letting out a hoarse, mournful cry.

The night raiders stood silently to the side.

No one said a word.

There is no antidote for the virus injected by Arya, and the person will experience an extremely painful process before dying.

Healing-type Imperial Arms are extremely rare.

Moreover, given the current state of Tatsumi's companion, his bodily functions have completely failed, and he is on his last breath.

Even if there were a healing Imperial Arm, it definitely wouldn't be able to save him.

Life and death separation

Night Raid has been through too much; all we can do is wish the young man can recover from his grief soon.

"Tatsumi."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Chapter 407 Tatsumi's Game Invitation

The night raiders were on high alert.

Lubbock, in particular, exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible!?"

The area around Aria's house was sealed off by the Imperial Arms [Cross Tail]. These threads were extremely strong and had an extremely sensitive touch.

Legend has it that it was made from the fur of a super dangerous species hunted in the Eastern Cloud Sea.

Any slight movement will be noticed by the Teigu user.

but,

The owner of this voice was able to appear silently next to the Night Raid members without touching the Cross Tail.

The others looked at Lubbock with equal surprise.

I only felt that he was underestimating his opponent and letting his guard down, rather than thinking that the Imperial Arms [Cross Tail] would fail.

"Don't let your guard down, he can perfectly dodge the cross tail's silken barrier."

Lubbock, who was encountering this situation for the first time, broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you kidding me, Lubbock?"

Mine frowned, gripped the pumpkin-shaped cannon tightly, and pointed the gun at the approaching person.

Hill pushed up her glasses. Naturally naive, she didn't think much before rushing forward at the first command from her companions.

Leone's expression remained unchanged as he unconsciously touched the gold coin pattern on the back of his right hand, stopping the crowd from making a move. He said, "Don't make a move yet, he is the mysterious merchant I was talking about!"

Brand reacted the fastest, transforming into his demon-possessed form, the fully armored man taking a step forward.

He stepped to the front of the night raiders, subtly protecting his companions.

"Are you the game merchant Leone mentioned?"

Brand looked at the panicked Lubbock and revealed a knowing expression.

The barrier of the Imperial Arm [Cross Tail] is composed of countless threads invisible to the naked eye. Although powerful, it is impossible for the mysterious merchant, who is suspected of possessing an Imperial Arm with spatial attributes, to detect the other party's presence.

"Mr. Fang Yi..."

Tatsumi's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with pain.

Seeing this wandering merchant, the only one who had been kind to him since he arrived in the capital, he finally couldn't hold back his emotions any longer and said hoarsely, "My companions are all going to die!"

Bearing the responsibility of helping villagers escape poverty,

Arriving in the capital with dreams in mind, only to encounter such a horrific scene, anyone would be devastated.

"Don't rush to cry, he's not dead yet, is he?"

Holding the white-haired Afu's hand, Fang Yi ignored the Night Raid members and approached Tatsumi.

The raiders remained vigilant throughout the night raid, their Imperial Arms stirring restlessly, ready to swarm at the slightest sign of trouble.

This is the battle of the Imperial Arms users.

All the extraordinary abilities are contained within the Imperial Arms, while the human body is as fragile as paper. If one is careless or underestimates the enemy, the opponent will seize the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Therefore,

Lubbock only panicked after discovering that the Cross Tail had failed.

Because the fact that the opponent was able to cross the barrier of the Cross Tail to get near Night Raid means that if Fang Yi really wanted to make a move, he could directly ambush and kill at least one Night Raid member.

Lubbock did not want to cause casualties during the night raid because of his own actions.

"However, As has already been poisoned and will soon..."

Although Tatsumi was in pain, his mind was clear.

The companions who had already lost consciousness had long been corroded by the deadly poison, their internal organs, bones, and flesh. The fact that they had been able to hold on until now was entirely due to their willpower.

According to Brand, a former elite of the Empire, As would die completely in two hours at most.

"Tatsumi, never give up hope. Now, only you can save As."

The moonlight fell on Fang Yi's shoulders, like a hazy glow of dawn.

These were clearly nonsensical words, yet they made everyone, including those from Night Raid, willing to believe them.

It's like an affirmation of some kind of knowledge.

Streams and rivers rush into the sea, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and flames can burn everything...

It's like the rules themselves, an understanding that cannot be distorted.

If Fang Yi says that Tatsumi has a chance to save Yas, then the whole world will not doubt the truth of this matter.

"Hallucination?!"

Brand's shocked voice came from inside the armor.

They could detect changes in mindset; even Brand had never seen such a method of inexplicably altering perceptions.

The scariest thing is,

They had clearly realized that it was the mysterious merchant in front of them who possessed the power, but they were powerless to change it.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Fang Yi's eyes as he smiled and said, "It's not an illusion; what I said is the truth."

This has nothing to do with me.

He had no interest in making his words law.

It was because the [Teigu World Consciousness] was too enthusiastic, or rather, wanted to please Fang Yi, this [Second Tier], so it took the initiative to create convenience for Fang Yi.

"I've heard that there's an Imperial Arm called [Observer] that has the ability to see through illusions."

Akame's expression was serious as she recounted the information she had found in the documents.

However, the person who possesses this Imperial Arms is the notorious criminal Zank, who is also Night Raid's next hunting target.

Could it be that the other party has already killed Zank and stolen his Imperial Arms?

wrong……

Based on the information, [Observer] does not have the ability to control multiple people simultaneously, so is it a new Imperial Arm?
