Tatsumi didn't give up, his gaze firm as he said, "It's okay, Yas. You should be able to hold on for a few more days in your current state. Once the death cooldown refreshes, I'll go hunt Pollution Monsters again!"
Compared to despair, watching a companion die helplessly.
Now, at least there was bright hope.
Fang Yi spoke up to remind him, "Thousand Spider Myriad Poison Hand is a cultivation method from a martial arts world. It requires training with highly venomous spiders… Of course, it can also absorb other poisons."
As a favored one of destiny in the Teigu World, second only to Akame,
Tatsumi was incredibly lucky.
A Lv.5 blue treasure chest could drop a powerful poison-based skill like [Thousand Spider Myriad Poison Hand].
If Tatsumi was willing, he could completely absorb the virus within Yas's body and cultivate the Thousand Spider Myriad Poison Hand.
"Cultivation method?"
Najenda's face was full of curiosity as she asked, "Does that mean a method to train the body?"
With the healing potion as a precedent, she looked at the Mysterious Merchant with great anticipation.
The Teigu World had no concept of cultivation methods. To her, she could only think of ways to train the body.
In this world, although all extraordinary energy was concentrated in Teigu,
humans could still achieve physical qualities slightly superior to ordinary people through physical training.
Just like Tatsumi, who could chop down Danger Beasts several meters tall.
Este's, even before drinking [Demon's Extract], could overpower ordinary soldiers with her physical prowess.
Brand was the same.
The Imperial Fist Temple was a place that taught methods of physical training. The pugilists there could easily defeat several, or even dozens, of ordinary people.
Although it couldn't compare to Teigu,
Teigu Users were rare, after all, and couldn't be popularized. If tens of thousands of Revolutionary Army soldiers could have excellent body-forging methods, it would even be stronger than acquiring a single Teigu.
"That's right."
Fang Yi nodded. Although it wasn't the same type of training method Najenda was thinking of,
they were indeed both training methods.
He didn't explain, because Najenda would soon see how the cultivation methods of the martial arts world differed from those of the Teigu World.
Clap.
Tatsumi helped Yas up, their palms pressed together, and they sat cross-legged.
Yas looked confused and hadn't had time to ask when he suddenly felt a searing pain throughout his body.
The toxins in his body, which had been suppressed and inactive by the life potion, seemed to come alive again, converging along his arms towards his palms.
A moment later,
Tatsumi's face turned pale, and he lay on the ground as if exhausted.
Everyone in Night Raid felt strange.
Didn't they say it was physical training? Could it be done just by pressing palms together?
Those who could become Teigu Users were not ordinary people. Even the seemingly naive Sheele, the bespectacled girl, was capable of easily erupting in anger and killing grown men before joining Night Raid.
In their impression,
true methods of physical training should be like Brand's or Akame's, constantly refining the body and skills.
Tatsumi's actions even looked comical.
"Is this… a method of physical training?"
Najenda's mouth twitched, feeling a sense of being tricked.
According to Leone, the Mysterious Merchant was very lecherous. She had even considered sacrificing her beauty to gain benefits for the Revolutionary Army.
The result was…
Most importantly, Tatsumi, who seemed like a simpleton, actually believed it?
No wonder later intelligence suggested the Mysterious Merchant possibly possessed a third Teigu related to illusions.
"Tatsumi, a real man should be strong like me, not frail… Wait, something's not right!"
Brand wanted to help Tatsumi, who was covered in cold sweat, up.
He had clearly already treated Tatsumi as a new member of Night Raid.
Just as his arm touched Tatsumi's finger, a burning pain instantly assaulted him.
In just one second,
Brand moved his arm away, avoiding contact with Tatsumi's finger.
He looked down,
and saw that the part of his arm that had just touched the finger looked as if it had been bitten by a poisonous snake. A dark purple mark continuously spread, quickly covering half of his arm.
"Don't move! This is the Erbola poison absorbed by the Thousand Spider Myriad Poison Hand!"
Tatsumi swayed his body, gathering his strength, and touched Brand's forearm with his finger.
He absorbed all the spreading toxins.
Then, he tore a strip from his linen pants and wrapped it around his palm.
"Cultivation methods are indeed ways to train the body, but they are somewhat different…"
Watching Yas gradually recover, Tatsumi finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained to the Night Raid members, "The cultivation methods of the martial arts world can allow people to develop all sorts of abilities!"
…
This was the text prompt from the Reincarnation Game after Tatsumi cultivated the Thousand Spider Myriad Poison Hand.
He wasn't entirely clear on it either, but he had no problem giving Night Raid a general explanation.
"Martial arts?!"
All of Night Raid were stunned.
The Otherworld martial arts Tatsumi spoke of could actually allow ordinary people who cultivated them to possess extraordinary power without the aid of Teigu.
It was simply unbelievable.
It was like overturning the most fundamental rules of this world.
So… he really was an Otherworld Merchant?
The gazes of the Night Raid members all fell on Fang Yi, their emotions complex.
At any rate, they had never heard of a way for ordinary people in the Teigu World to develop superpowers.
Tatsumi's recent display of the Thousand Spider Myriad Poison Hand was a fact before their eyes. If they had to explain it, the most unreliable explanation, [Otherworld Game Merchant], was ironically the most reliable.
Najenda spoke up, asking, "Mr. Fang Yi, are you really not a Teigu User?"
The Mysterious Merchant's actions had already exceeded the scope of a Teigu User.
"No."
"I see. Please forgive Night Raid's skepticism towards you. We have never seen an Otherworld, so… if possible, can I become a player?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Najenda's expression became serious as she pleaded with the Mysterious Merchant.
Whether everything was real or fake,
Tatsumi alone couldn't determine.
If she, like Tatsumi, personally went to the Otherworld to hunt the things called Pollution Monsters, everything would become clear.
"Captain!"
Even the usually expressionless Akame showed a hint of worry.
Not knowing whether the Mysterious Merchant was friend or foe, not knowing his background, Najenda wanting to put herself in danger in such a situation was too risky.
"It's alright, Akame."
Najenda ruffled her black hair, showing no hesitation or retreat.
Fang Yi spread his five fingers, smiling politely, "Five thousand reward points can buy a game invitation letter to become a player."
He wasn't a philanthropist.
He was willing to give Tatsumi a game invitation letter because Tatsumi trusted him unconditionally. Although it was also related to being forced into a desperate situation, this was destiny.
Facing the doubts of the Night Raid members, the price of the game invitation letter would naturally rise.
"Alright."
Najenda quickly made a decision, not acting rashly.
She had tallied the missing assets from the Night Raid base and understood the value of five hundred reward points. The five thousand reward points offered by the Mysterious Merchant was undoubtedly an exorbitant price.
However, facing the unknown and the mysterious, she could still bear the loss of some assets.
"As you wish."
Fang Yi politely bowed slightly, and a black game invitation letter materialized in his palm, which he handed over.
Najenda received the invitation letter with a serious expression, her eyes widening suddenly.
Under the tense gazes of the Night Raid members,
she disappeared just as Tatsumi had.
