Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

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 simultaneously with ease, just like the game merchant I met!"

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

Brand's current situation is remarkably similar.

Brand walked up to Tatsumi and asked sternly, "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.

"Absolutely impossible."

Brand shook his head and said, "A blessed short sword, such a special weapon, not only possesses 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'm not a night raider who indiscriminately kills innocent people. I don't lie. This short sword is worth nine gold coins—half a year's worth of savings from everyone!"

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 for people 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.

"Is this...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 frequently 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, stop them...stop them!"

Hiding in the corner, Aria looked terrified, constantly searching 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.

"Sayoo?!"

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 resembling a bird's nest, with large patches 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 protested, "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..."

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, used to observe how the virus reacted 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 pretense 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?!"

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.

Clang...

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.

"As, don't die, As!"

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

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 a speedy recovery from his grief.

"Tatsumi".

A voice suddenly rang out.
