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 youth, I will show you who will be cursed and who will suffer the wrath of the undead!"

No further explanation is needed.

Brand turned and walked toward the warehouse, ready 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 bastard?!"

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 surprised and uncertain expressions, he waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, my [Demon Possession] is an armor-type Imperial Armor, 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]!

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, capable of piercing my demonic possession, it's undoubtedly an Imperial Arms..."

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.

"Increased four-dimensional attributes by ten points, [Short Sword Mastery Lv.5], 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...

Even a complex short sword technique 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.

Am I seeing things?

"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 also enhances 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.
