Chapter 413 Tatsumi: It Turns Out that I Took All the Responsibility

Chapter 413 Tatsumi: It turns out that I took all the responsibility...

"If this continues, it may be quite disadvantageous to Wood." Akahime, who had been watching the battle in silence, suddenly said this while looking at the battle on the field.

And what Akahime said also caused Tatsumi to be puzzled, and he asked: "Why? Wood obviously defended all the attacks of Brother Brand."

Tatsumi really couldn't understand. In his opinion, the battle on the field was obviously evenly matched, and the strength that Wood had shown before was obvious to all. Why did Akahime say that the situation was not favorable to Wood?

"Although Wood is very strong, and it seems that he has not shown any weakness even when facing the invisible Brand.

But Tatsumi, if you observe carefully, you will find that compared with Wood who had a strong desire to attack at the beginning, has he taken the initiative to attack now?

Obviously, the invisible Brand made Wood lose his target. Even if Wood is stronger than Brand, he can only be in a passive situation now.

For Brand's attack, he can only passively defend and counterattack, but it is difficult to take the initiative to attack, because he cannot judge Brand's position. If he attacks rashly, he will make himself vulnerable and give Brand an opportunity to take advantage."

The person who answered Tatsumi's question was not Akahime, but Leone who was also standing next to him.

"But even so, Wood can still be invincible. Why did Akahime say that the situation is not good for Wood?"

Tatsumi showed the good quality of asking questions when he doesn't understand, and continued to ask.

"Are you stupid? Can the two states of waiting for the opportunity and being frightened be compared?

Brand, who is in the invisible state, can rest when he wants and attack when he wants because his breath is completely hidden.

But for Wood, who is in the passive state, he needs to be alert all the time and be prepared for possible attacks from Brand at any time.

It seems that they are evenly matched, but the mental consumption of the two is different. Even the strongest tiger has a nap. This is what Akame said about disadvantages."

The person who spoke was Marin. Because of the special nature of "Romantic Fort Pumpkin", Marin has the deepest experience of this kind of mental tension.

If a person has a weak psychological endurance, facing this high-pressure state, he will soon reveal flaws or lose his composure because of collapse.

After hearing what Marin said, Tatsumi instantly understood that the demon Ouka he dealt with in his first assassination mission was in a similar state.

"Your analysis is correct, but there is one thing I disagree with.

You said the situation is not favorable to Wood? Open your eyes and watch carefully. This problem is nothing to that guy.

That guy is a natural warrior. He is not just a pure fighting maniac. He will soon find a way to crack it. Brand is about to lose!"

Unlike other companions in the night raid who think the situation is not favorable to Wood, Lubbock is very clear that the unfavorable situation is only temporary for Wood. Based on his understanding of Wood, Wood is about to exert his strength, and Brand, who seems to be as stable as an old dog, is obviously about to lose.

Generally speaking, in the battle with Wood, it seems that he is unilaterally crushing, but in fact the battle can continue for a while, because a guy likes to show off.

And the battle that seems to be unfavorable to Wood is about to end soon, because it seems that Wood is not favorable, but in fact he is just enjoying the battle and collecting information about the opponent's strength.

When Wood thinks that the information is enough and finds the battle boring, he will end the battle at the speed of light.

Don't ask why Lubbock knew so clearly, because he was abused by Wood more than once when he was a child.

Every time he thought he was about to catch up with Wood and persisted longer and longer, he finally found sadly that he could never catch up with that gap.

And through the experience of being abused many times, Lubbock was also familiar with Wood's extremely bad character.

As if to verify that what Lubbock said was true, almost not long after he finished speaking, the battle on the field suddenly changed dramatically.

With the continuous drop in the surrounding temperature, a thick layer of frost suddenly appeared under the feet of Wood standing on the field, and it spread rapidly to the surroundings at a very fast speed.

It was clearly noon, but the people who attacked at night felt a chill in their bodies. The sudden drop in temperature made them feel as if they had entered the cold winter directly.

The floor tiles of the training ground were covered with frost and quickly froze into a thick layer of ice, and even snowflakes fell from the sky.

"It's a pity that there is no magic element in this world. Is this the only extent that can be achieved with the power of the imperial equipment?

Well, but if it is only this extent, it is enough now.

Brand, I have found you, and the time is almost up. It's almost time to end the battle."

As soon as the voice fell, Wood's feet had already broken the ice surface, and his body shot out at supersonic speed.

What surprised Brand was that what Wood just said was not just bragging, the other party really shot in the direction where he was.

"Hundred Demons Sword Style·One Sword Style-Snow Woman!"

In the icy and snowy environment, the power of Wood's sword was increased by the imperial equipment. Although there was no increase in magic power, it also achieved half the level of magic sword skills.

Along with the continuous cracking of the ice surface, a huge blue crescent sword energy wrapped in cold wind blew out. Although Brand used the spear "Red-backed Shrike" in his hand to resist with all his strength, his body was finally bounced out like a cannonball at the moment when the spear was bent.

Brand, who was blown away, directly knocked down a building of the night raid base, and after the impact, his body also revealed his previously hidden figure.

Because the battle ended too quickly, Tatsumi and others who were watching the battle were still in a state of confusion. Only Lubbock showed an expression of "I knew it would be like this".

Brand, who had released the imperial weapon "Evil Ghost Haunting", was not seriously ill. After realizing that he had lost, he did not feel unwilling, but laughed heartily and took the initiative to shake hands with Wood, who had also released the imperial weapon.

"Sure enough, even if I violated my own principles and used such a despicable method, I still couldn't beat you."

Brand admitted defeat quite straightforwardly. After all, he even used the invisibility method that he disliked the most, but he still couldn't beat Wood in the end.

"Brand, what happened just now? Why did Wood finally find you who was invisible?"

This is not only a question in Tatsumi's mind, but also a question in the minds of other people in the night raid. The battle just now changed rapidly. They didn't even have time to observe anything before the battle suddenly ended.

"I think it should be my exhaled breath, just like you now. Didn't you notice that there was something extra when you were talking?"

After Brand's reminder, Tatsumi and the other people in the night raid also understood it instantly.

Humans need to breathe, and because the body has its own temperature, in a cold environment, the gas exhaled by humans will be accompanied by white mist.

"Evil Ghost Haunting" can make the body invisible, and even completely cover up its own breath, but it cannot cover up the exhaled gas.

Wood used the power of the imperial weapon to create an ice field, not only to show off and increase the power of his swordsmanship, but also to create a low-temperature environment.

"But if you are conscious, you can control the white mist produced by breathing like this.

If Brand didn't give up immediately, there should be a fight, right?"

Leone tried to control the intensity of his breathing and found that as long as he didn't breathe hard, the white mist he exhaled was not obvious, and Wood might not be able to observe it.

"It doesn't matter even if that's the case. The snowflakes falling all over the sky and the ice under my feet are all my eyes."

Hearing Leone's words, Wood reached out to catch a falling snowflake, and stomped his feet to step on the ice under his feet. Everyone also understood what Wood meant.

In addition to the white mist exhaled in a low-temperature environment, the small snowflakes floating in the sky are also a fatal weakness when they fall on Brand. After all, Brand is just invisible, not disappeared.

Moreover, the snowflakes pile up into snow when they fall to the ground. People leave their names when they pass by, and wild geese leave their feathers when they pass by. Brand can't fly. As long as one of them moves, footprints will be left on the snow.

Before, the people of Night Raid only knew that Wood was very strong, but they didn't have much specific knowledge. However, through this competition, they clearly understood how strong Wood was.

"So even if Wood is so strong, he is still not the opponent of Esdeath!"

What Tatsumi asked was also curious in the hearts of everyone present. They had heard Najeshitan say that Wood was the only one who had fought with Esdeath and was still in good health.

And they also heard from Rabbock and Akame that after the battle with Esdeath, Wood was unconscious for a whole day because of exhaustion.

If it was before, it would be fine, but after today's competition, it was really hard for the people of Night Raid to imagine that Wood, a person who was so comprehensive in terms of combat skills, combat experience, physical fitness, and IQ, actually suffered at the hands of someone.

Is the general named Esdeath really so outrageously strong?

"Esdeath is very powerful. Her imperial equipment is much stronger than that of ordinary imperial equipment users. Her own strength is also far beyond that of ordinary people. She is a very comprehensive guy with no obvious shortcomings.

When I fought with her, although I still had some means reserved, I could also feel that she should have other killers that she had not used."

Hearing what Wood said, the people of the Night Raid also showed a solemn look on their faces.

According to what Wood said, it is no wonder that Najeshitan hoped that they would not act rashly. After all, with their strength, it would be really dangerous to meet Esdeath alone.

That evening, when Najeshitan returned to the base from the Revolutionary Army headquarters again, she looked at the ruins of the base and even the cigarette in her mouth fell directly to the ground.

Feeling the cold air that had not completely dissipated in the air, Najeshitan instantly recalled Esdeath's imperial equipment. She thought that the base of the Night Raid was exposed, and Esdeath attacked here directly.

With a look of trepidation and anxiety, Najeshitan jumped off the dangerous flying device like a manta ray without stopping, and then hurriedly entered the night attack base.

However, when she saw that Wood and his men were all gathered in the living room, doing their own things and talking and laughing, Najeshitan was stunned again.

"Who can tell me what happened here during the time I was away from the base?"

Seeing that Wood and the others were all there, Najeshitan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then she slowly lit a cigarette for herself and stared at everyone and said.

"It's all Leone's fault. After hearing that Esdeath was very strong, he always wanted to challenge her.

In order to let her understand the difference in strength between herself and Esdeath, I just had to fight with her in person.

And when they heard that they were going to fight, Brand and Akame were determined to join in, and then the base became like this."

Hearing what Wood said, Leone and the others who were originally talking and laughing were dumbfounded on the spot. Didn't they say before that everyone was a good companion and they had to share the blame even if there was a blame? What the hell is this skillful blame-shifting technique now?

"It's all Tatsumi's fault. He was curious about what Wood's imperial weapon was, so he asked me to test it."

"Tatsumi always asked me who was the strongest person in the night raid..."

"It's all the newcomers' fault..."

Looking at what everyone was saying, Najeshitan's expression became darker and darker, and a certain boy who was the only one injured in the sparring was still lying on his bed in his room, feeling that it was good to have a group of companions who could rely on each other.

Unfortunately, this guy didn't know that his group of trustworthy companions had now stabbed him in the back.

Poor Tatsumi, who had only recovered from his injuries for a few days, was ordered by Najeshitan to repair the house. Although Tatsumi didn't know where he had offended the boss, he felt that during this period of time, his companions in the night raid were more friendly to him.

Even Main, who always liked to be sharp-tongued, rarely sneered at him recently.

"This time I went back to the Revolutionary Army headquarters specifically to get the news about Esdeath.

According to reliable information, the aliens in the north have been almost suppressed, and the ministers in the capital are pressing for action, so Esdeath first sent back her capable generals, the 'Three Beast Warriors'."

"Obviously Esdeath only knew from the ministers' words that a tricky assassination organization had appeared in the capital, but she treated us as minor characters.

But this is also a good opportunity for us. The 'Three Beast Warriors' have followed Esdeath for many years, and their methods are equally brutal.

And as imperial weapon users, they also have good strength. If we can kill the 'Three Beast Warriors' before Esdeath returns to the capital, it will be no less than breaking one of Esdeath's arms, and it will undoubtedly be much easier to deal with Esdeath afterwards."
