Chapter ten: Bandits

...

Wow, said as I began to re-examine everything I purchased. Right now, I was on my way home and I had bought seven low-level healing pills and a katana with a very powerful core stone.

With this, I should be powerful enough to defeat anyone within levels one to twenty.

Presently, I was walking home as no transport service was currently available. Suddenly, I saw some people wearing a hooded shirts and they were also covering their faces with a mask.

Tsk, I clicked my tongue. I knew there were after me. After seeing an ordinary kid purchase a katana of three hundred and fifty gold coins, most people would kidnap them and then charge a huge run some from their parents.

Suddenly, I heard a husky voice roar in laughter. To think that the sons of those wealthy households would be left unprotected.

Beating him up should be very easy, another member exclaimed.

These fools, I thought inwardly. Anyway, I finally found test subjects that I can try my time first on, I said with a sly grin.

Kid, don't get too cocky, another member said angrily when he saw me smiling.

Why don't we show him the true meaning of despair, another person said while activating his daggers.

Let's see, I said while bringing out my new katana.

So arrogant, he said tinged with rage.

Demonic slash, he shouted as he dashed towards me. Unawares, he appeared behind me with his daggers covered with dark energy while trying to stab me from my blind spot.

Time barrier, I said before I vanished.

What, he said in shock.

Time fist, I said while reappearing behind his blind spot.

Gah, the man mumbled as blood began to drip from his nose.

How is that possible, the man said as he struggle to stand up.

Who is next? I said as I turned to the rest.

What, the leader said in surprise. Anyway, that was just pure luck besides, you can't continue to have good luck forever, he said while looking at me scornfully before sending more of his teammates to attack me.

Time fist, I muttered as I shot more attacks at the other group members.

Shit, most of the other members yelled as I shot over forty fists at them.

After confusing the members, I decided to start my killing spree.

"Slash", my sword echoed as I slashed the neck of one of the members.

Immediately, fear flashed through the other's faces. Although I could not see all their faces properly, I could see a sign of fear.

Now, you have one last chance, I said as I began to release my magical energy across the region before continuing you better leave now or I will do the same thing I did to him to all of you here.

Don't mind him, the bandit leader shouted. He is probably afraid and afraid is trying to scare us.

Sure, another member replied while trying to regain his composure.

Since all of you decided to stay behind, I have no choice but to kill you.

Suddenly, a purple and blue color gust began to envelope the katana as I activated its core stone.

Right now, the bandit team are only left with six members so with my time fist and time barrier, it should be easy to handle them.

What is that strange energy? One of the bandits asked looking terrified.

It is the energy from the katana, the leader replied them. Now, we do not have to get the kid. The katana is our main target, he added while grinning from ear to ear like he just won a million gold coin.

"whoa", I never knew a katana could be this powerful but what if I used the katana to create a destructive slash then, I will use my time fist to send the blow a few seconds into the future.

Besides, if I work on this principle properly, I should be able to use teleportation.

Anyway, I will have to do that later because right now, I still had to deal with the bandits.

Attack him and this time, do not give him any breathing space, the leader of the bandits yelled.

Unexpectedly, two bodies dropped to ground right beside their leader lifeless.

Right now, their number had reduced to four so handling the rest from now on should not be a big problem, I thought.

Without giving them any chance to rest, I began to attack them mercilessly. After a some time, I managed to kill another person, reducing the bandits number to three.

Boss, I think you should retreat, one of the bandits said as tears began to well up in his eyes.

"wha-", but before her could continue his sentence another bandit member interrupted him. Sir, you are the only person that can bring progress to our clan so your survival is our priority.

Sure, he replied before turning his gaze to me. I am going to make sure that you pay for killing all of my friends, he cried out with his face tinged with rage.

Although I wanted to kill all of them before resuming my journey, I decide to let him go.

Turning my gaze towards the last two members, I immediately attacked them. Due to their excessive bleeding and damages, their movement became dull making it easy for me to kill them.

Now, what is this? I asked my self as I saw a file poking out of one of the corpses pocket.

The file contained information about the organization that came to kidnap me.

This should be useful, I said as I tossed it into my backpack.

Besides, I need to inform Miss Tasha as well as my parents about my current situation, I worried as I continued my journey.
