The Night Raid members were on high alert, especially Lubbock, who exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?!"
The area around Aria's house was sealed off by the Teigu Cross Tail. These threads were incredibly strong and possessed extremely keen senses.
Legend has it that they were made from the fur of a super dangerous species hunted in the Eastern Cloud Sea.
Any slight disturbance would be detected by the Teigu User.
However, the owner of this voice was able to appear silently beside the Night Raid members without touching the Cross Tail.
The others also looked at Lubbock in surprise, feeling that he had been careless and let his guard down, rather than thinking the Teigu Cross Tail could fail.
"He can perfectly avoid the Cross Tail's thread barrier. Don't let your guard down, everyone."
Lubbock, encountering such a situation for the first time, felt a cold sweat trickle down his forehead.
"Are you kidding me, Lubbock?"
Mine frowned, gripping her Pumpkin cannon, aiming the muzzle at the newcomer.
Sheele pushed up her glasses. Being naturally spacey, she didn't overthink things; once a companion gave an order, she would instantly rush forward.
Leone's expression remained unchanged. She unconsciously touched the coin pattern on the back of her right hand, stopping the others who were about to act, and said, "Don't act yet. He's the Mysterious Merchant I told you about!"
Brand reacted the fastest, transforming into his [Demon Armor: Incursio] state. The fully armored figure stepped forward, moving to the very front of the Night Raid members, subtly shielding his companions.
"Are you the Game Merchant Leone spoke of, sir?"
Brand looked at the flustered Lubbock, a knowing expression on his face.
The Teigu Cross Tail's barrier was composed of countless threads barely visible to the naked eye. Although powerful, it was naturally impossible to detect the presence of the Mysterious Merchant, who seemingly possessed a space-attribute Teigu.
"Mr. Fang Yi..."
Tatsumi's eyes were bloodshot, his face full of pain.
Seeing this wandering Merchant, the only one who had been kind to him after he arrived in the Imperial Capital, his emotions finally erupted. He hoarsely said, "My companions are going to die!"
Bearing the responsibility of helping his villagers escape poverty, and arriving in the Imperial Capital with dreams, only to encounter such a tragic scene—anyone would break down.
"Don't be so quick to cry. He's not dead yet, is he?"
Leading the white-haired Akame, Fang Yi ignored the Night Raid members and approached Tatsumi.
The Night Raid members remained vigilant, their Teigu stirring, ready to swarm forward at the slightest anomaly.
This was the battle of Teigu Users.
All extraordinary power was contained within the Teigu, yet the human body was as fragile as paper. A slight mistake or underestimation of the opponent could lead to them seizing an opening and utterly defeating them.
Therefore, when Lubbock discovered the Cross Tail had failed, he appeared flustered.
Because the fact that the opponent could pass through the Cross Tail's barrier and appear near Night Raid meant that if Fang Yi truly wanted to act, he could directly sneak attack and kill at least one Night Raid member.
Lubbock didn't want Night Raid to suffer casualties because of him.
"But Yas has already been poisoned and will soon..."
Although Tatsumi was in pain, his mind was clear.
His unconscious companion had already had his internal organs, bones, and flesh corroded by the poison. The fact that he had held on until now was purely due to sheer willpower.
According to the former Imperial elite Brand's judgment, Yas would completely die in at most two more hours.
"Tatsumi, never give up hope. Right now, only you can save Yas."
The moonlight fell on Fang Yi's shoulders like a hazy glow.
Though his words were very inexplicable, they made everyone, including the Night Raid members, unconsciously willing to believe them.
It was like a certain cognitive affirmation.
Streams and rivers would flow into the sea, the sun would rise in the east and set in the west, fire could burn everything...
It was like a rule-level cognition that could not be twisted.
When Fang Yi said Tatsumi had a chance to save Yas, the entire world would not doubt the truth of this matter.
"Illusion?!"
Brand's shocked voice came from within the armor.
They could sense the change in their mindset. This inexplicable method of altering cognition was something even Brand had never seen.
The most terrifying thing was that even though they had detected it was the ability of the Mysterious Merchant before them, they were powerless to change it.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Fang Yi's eyes. He smiled and said, "It's not an illusion. It's that what I say is reality."
This had nothing to do with him.
He had no interest in doing such things where his words became reality.
It was because the Teigu World Consciousness was too enthusiastic, or rather, wanted to curry favor with Fang Yi, a Rank 2, so it very proactively created convenience for Fang Yi.
"I heard there's a Teigu called [Observer] that has the ability of illusory vision."
Akame's expression was serious as she spoke of the information she had read.
However, the person who held that Teigu was the notorious criminal Zank, who was also Night Raid's next hunting target.
Could it be that the other party had already killed Zank and taken his Teigu?
No...
According to the information, [Observer] didn't have the ability to control multiple people simultaneously. Was this a new Teigu?
"Mr. Fang Yi, I believe you!"
Tatsumi quickly got up, picked up the steel short sword, and said, "This short sword has magical power because of your blessing, right? I believe you have a way to save Yas..."
The Night Raid members had various expressions.
Especially Brand and Akame, as the wielder and combatant, they clearly understood the power contained within this steel short sword.
It was no different from a Teigu.
This magical power actually originated from this Mysterious Merchant?!
How many abilities did he possess?!
"It's not me, but you..."
Fang Yi looked at Tatsumi, who had re-energized, shook his head, and explained, "Whether you can save your companion has nothing to do with me. It depends entirely on your own will. If your will is firm enough, not only Yas, but even Sayo, who has already died, might have a chance to be revived."
Though Revival Coins were rare, if one was lucky, it wasn't impossible to obtain one.
Tatsumi was stunned, constantly waving his hands, saying, "How is that possible, Mr. Fang Yi...? I'm just an ordinary country person, I can't do anything but fight."
"Everyone present should already know my identity, but allow me to introduce myself again."
Fang Yi bowed slightly, revealing a polite smile, and said, "I am a Merchant from the Otherworld, selling various game items. As long as you have enough will and a little luck, any wish can be realized in the game."
"Game...?"
Tatsumi didn't understand, as the general environment of this world was still in the Middle Ages.
The Night Raid members had strange expressions.
Especially Leone, she had heard Fang Yi's explanation once before and only regarded it as a means to conceal his true identity. She didn't expect him to say it again so openly.
"Hey, perverted Merchant, stop deceiving the kid who lost his companion. That's really infuriating behavior."
Leone didn't believe him at all. Her gleaming fangs rubbed together as she said, "I've never heard of a Teigu that can bring people back from the dead. Otherwise..."
The Night Raid organization wouldn't have had countless companions die.
Every now and then, Night Raid would recruit new members, but the overall number always remained in the single digits.
Separation and death—the Night Raid members were long accustomed to it. If there were a healing-type Teigu that could bring people back to life, the Revolutionary Army would have long ago issued a mission for Night Raid to seize it.
"If the Night Raid members are willing, they can also realize their wishes by their will."
Without anger or displeasure at being questioned, Fang Yi finished speaking, then looked at the expectant Tatsumi and handed him a black trial invitation letter.
