Chapter 405: The blessed dagger, an imperial weapon?
Brand's burly body appeared behind Akagi, and he pressed down on Akagi's shoulders with both hands.

If he hadn't taken action,

Even if Tatsumi suddenly became stronger, he would be stabbed through the heart by the next sword.

Chi Tong was speechless.

If it weren't for this bad character of doing whatever he wants, Brand would have been the acting captain of the night raid long ago, and he wouldn't have to worry about all those annoying trivial matters.

Now he still wants to spare the enemy in battle.

Brand asked curiously, "Are you a young man who just came to the imperial capital?"

to be frank,
Brand was reluctant to let this young man with ideals, ambitions and great potential die.

Recruiting them into the revolutionary army is the best option.

"You cold-blooded fellows, for the sake of money, actually killed Miss Alia's entire family. Aren't you afraid of the curse of the undead?"

Tatsumi was not happy about surviving the disaster, but just looked at them angrily.

"curse?"

Everyone in the night raid showed a playful look, and Brand said in a deep voice: "My deceived young man, who will be cursed and who will be avenged by the undead? I will show you!"

No extra explanation.

Brand turned and walked towards the warehouse, ready to break it open and expose the truth.

at this time,

Tatsumi moved, swinging his steel dagger to knock away Akame's demon sword with one strike, then rushed towards Brand who was trapped behind him.

"You guy?!"

Chi Tong's face changed slightly. Feeling the pain and numbness coming from his palm, he hurriedly chased after him.

But found that
Tatsumi, who had been able to barely fight with him, suddenly burst out with astonishing speed and rushed behind Brand in two seconds.

stab...

The fine steel dagger slashed through the imperial weapon [Evil Ghost Haunted], making a piercing scream.

Without even turning his head, Brand grabbed Tatsumi who was attacking him, grabbed his wrist, and snatched the steel dagger.

"Brand!"

Brand heard his companions' shouts and turned his head in confusion.
Seeing that they all showed doubtful expressions, he waved his hands and smiled: "It doesn't matter. My [Evil Ghost Haunting] is an armor-type imperial weapon. Even Akame's demon sword can't even be used against it..."

Halfway through the conversation,
Following his companions' gaze, Brand saw a thumb-long scratch on his armor.

It wasn't deep, didn't penetrate the armor, and Brand was intact.

but……

This is the imperial weapon [Haunted by Evil Spirits]!

An imperial weapon made from dangerous and ferocious dragon species.

The iron-wall-like defensive capability is not a boast of the imperial weapon user, but a title bestowed upon the imperial weapon by the countless enemies killed.

"Being haunted by an evil spirit...?"

Mayin couldn't help covering her mouth.
During the night raid training, he conducted a test and found that his imperial weapon [Pumpkin Turret] was unable to penetrate Brand's armor.

It was actually pierced by an inconspicuous-looking steel dagger?

"Is it a Teigu?"

"I didn't expect you to possess a sword-type imperial weapon. This is truly an unexpected bonus."

After his initial shock, Brand burst into laughter.

He didn't care about the destruction of the imperial weapon. The characteristic of being possessed by evil spirits is that it can evolve infinitely. With just a little practice, the broken parts will be repaired.

the most important is,

Tatsumi not only has a warm-blooded heart, but also has outstanding combat skills and potential, and even has his own sword-like imperial weapon.

If they become members of the night raid, they will have a greater chance of killing the minister.

"Teigu, what is that?"

Tatsumi had never heard of any news about the Imperial Instruments. Forty-eight Imperial Instruments sounded like a lot, but they were scattered all over the continent and the number was pitifully small. Ordinary people had never even heard of them.

"A powerful tool made from extremely dangerous species, with various abilities."

Brand raised his fine steel dagger and explained, "Just like your dagger, it can penetrate my evil spirits. It is definitely an imperial weapon..."

suddenly,

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

[Blessed Steel Dagger (Purple)]: A blessed steel dagger. Hold it tightly and you will become a warrior who has experienced many battles.

"Word?"

Brand shook his head, trying to dispel the illusory words in front of him.

But I can't do it no matter what.

As long as he held the stainless steel dagger and kept his eyes on it for a few seconds, the text would pop up automatically.

It's like some kind of text introduction.
Remind yourself of the information about this fine steel dagger.

"The four-dimensional attributes are enhanced by ten points, [Dagger Mastery Lv. 5], and the active skill [Strength Burst] can temporarily increase all attributes?"

Brand muttered the information about the fine steel dagger.

then,

He felt that he seemed to have become stronger?
Just like what this fine steel dagger describes, strength, agility, spirit, physique...

Even a complex short sword technique emerged in his mind.

He shook off the struggling Tatsumi,

Brand stuck the Red-backed Shrike, the auxiliary weapon of [Haunted by Evil Spirits], into the ground, gripped the steel dagger tightly, and rushed towards Red Eyes.

boom!
The sword kept chopping down, and Akagi fought back decisively, holding the demon sword with both hands at her side. She felt the huge force coming from the dagger, which made her release it by retreating repeatedly.

Brand used to be an imperial soldier, and even after becoming a night raider, his attack methods were very aggressive.

Especially when combined with [Haunted by Evil Spirits], it fights as tough as a tank.

but,

Now, the battle with Akame is like that of a nimble swordsman, swinging the dagger with ease.

"Am I dazzled?"

"Is Brand's short sword skills really that strong?"

"And his physical fitness, has it become stronger again?"

Chi Tong was defeated step by step, and finally kept his distance, not wanting to be Brand's test subject anymore.

Everyone in the night raid was also confused and shocked.

The big brother, who is usually kind-hearted and simple-minded, actually secretly practiced dagger skills and kept it secret from them until now.

"Is it a dagger?!"

Chi Tong was the first to realize the key point. She looked at Brand with a serious face and asked.

She and Tatsumi had a brief battle,

Brand's dagger skills just now were very similar to Tatsumi's, but due to their physical fitness, the two people's performances were very different.

Brand, who had always had rough fighting skills, was able to crush everyone in the Night Raid and become the strongest in the Night Raid thanks to his sturdy armor and tremendous strength.

And now,
Brand, who has mastered the technique of dagger, is like a wild beast that has learned the skill.

Akahime had no doubt that if the two of them fought a life-and-death duel, she would be killed by Dagger Brand within minutes.

"Yes, what a magical imperial weapon. It can actually give me the short sword skills I have practiced for decades, and it can also enhance my strength, speed and nerve reaction..."

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

He hadn't even taken off [Evil Ghost Haunting], and had already activated a Tyrannosaurus-type imperial weapon, but he was still able to use a second imperial weapon.

No mental and physical breakdown?
Moreover, because the [Spirit] and [Physical] attributes have been enhanced, the burden of being haunted by evil spirits is not as great as before.
