Fight

When the guards heard that the man was the one the second prince was waiting for. They couldn't help but feel a little bit suspicious and vigilant about the man. Because just base on Crocodile's appearance, it looks like someone you couldn't trust.

However, the guards lowered their weapons and let Crocodile approach and enter the carriage.

"Let's go" Lori's voice sounded again from the carriage and the group starts moving.

Looking at Crocodile sitting in front of him, Lori still couldn't believe that he could summon him. Furthermore, he could also summon different people and characters from different animes or games. All of this was thanks to the system inside his body.

The Otherworldly Summon System that just suddenly appeared inside his body was a great help to him. Because he can't practice normally like any other people in this world. Lori needs something that will give him strength or power. And that is what the system can give him.

"Crocodile, how is the mission I gave to you. Is everything alright?" he asked Crocodile who was silent.

"Young Master everything is running very smoothly. I have already recruited over a hundred people and all of them were waiting in our base" Crocodile answered respectfully.

When Lori asked the system in the past wheater the summons was loyal to him. The system tells him that the summon will be very loyal to him. They would treat him as their creator and will never betray him. Also, the summons will retain their memories in the past, however, they will never remember anyone from that.

At this time while the group was peacefully moving forward. A group of arrows whistles through the air towards the group.

"Ambush! Protect the second prince!" the guard captain's reaction was fast and he already deflected the arrows heading straight towards the carriage.

The guards around all pull out their weapons and surround the carriage. They were the loyal guards of Lori's mother who were tasked to protect her son. Each and every one of these guards is a seasoned fighter and were not afraid to die.

Shua!

Shua!

A group of people wearing leather armors appeared from the side of the road. From their untidy appearance and unkempt hair, they all look like a group of bandit.

"Attacking a member of the royal family, all of you deserve death!" the guard's captain said coldly. His sharp eyes were glaring at the bandits like a ferocious wolf.

"Member of the royal family? So what, this daddy here will attack as long as I can get money" a burly man who seems to be the leader of the bandits said. His eyes turned towards the carriage and roared, "Men! Attack! Kill them all!"

"Uooohh!" the people around the bandit all shouted and charged forward.

"Protect His Highness!"

"Yes!"

The two sides then clashed against each other. At first, the fight was even as the guards kill everyone who was in the reach of their swords. But the bandits have a huge number advantage and they just keep coming forward.

'This is bad if this continues we will be overrun by this bastards' the guard's captain said under his breath. His eyes then focused on the bandit leader and charge forward. He knew that if he could kill the bandit leader, the moral of the bandits will significantly drop.

"Sweeping slash!"

The guard's captain sword suddenly emitted light and went straight towards the bandit leader. The bandits who were on the way of the light have their bodies cut and fall to the ground.

"Hmm!" the bandit leader felt all the hair at the back of his neck stood up and a dangerous feeling appeared in his heart. When he turned his head, he saw a sharp sword light coming towards him.

"Damn! There's a warrior expert in the enemies!" the bandit leader cursed as he raised his own sword to block the attack.

Seeing the light coming from the bandit leader's sword, the guard captain's expression turned gloomy. He knew this battle just got even more dangerous. He turned to the other guards and shouted, "All of you, protect the carriage! We can't let the enemies surround us completely! We will break through them!"

"There is no need for that" a voice came and Crocodile went out of the carriage, "You ants delays the Young Master's travel. And because of that, all of you needs to disappear"

"You are?" when the guard captain saw that the man earlier came out of the carriage, he stops his horse.

"Big words for a man who's about to die!" the bandit leader sneered at Crocodile's words.

Crocodile narrowed his eyes in displeasure when he heard the words of the bandit. But he didn't reply and his tall figure suddenly moves. The bottom half of his body transformed into sand as his figure flew towards the bandits.

"This... Is this magic?" the guard captain said.

Not only him, but the other guards and the bandits were also surprised when they saw that part of Crocodile's body turned into sands.

One must know that mages or magicians were a noble existence of this world. They were the ones constantly pursuing knowledge trying to best themselves again and again. That's why when they saw Crocodile's ability they couldn't believe that he was a mage. Because his appearance didn't make him look like a mage, especially with a hook in his left hand. He even looks more like a bandit compared to the bandits in front of them.

Aaahh!

A miserable shout from a bandit woke up everyone from their surprise. There they saw multiple bandits already lying on the ground, dying. The bandit leader turns to his people and what he saw horrifies him. His people were already dead, and they all look like a dried-up tree.

"Don't worry you will follow them shortly"

The bandit leader's figure trembled and his head immediately turns behind him. The man with a golden hook for his left hand was standing there casually with a cigar in his mouth.

"You bastard!" seeing that the man who killed his men was standing behind him with a mocking smile on his face. The bandit leader's expression turned dark and his muscle started to swell up. "I'm gonna f*cking kill you!"

Swish!

The sword of the bandit leader shines in dangerous light as he exhibits his most powerful attack. The blade of the sword effortlessly cut through Crocodile's head decapitating him.

Everyone watched as a head flew in the sky with surprised expression in their faces. Meanwhile, a cruel smile formed in the lips of the bandit leader and he mockingly said, "You overestimate yourself too much. This is what you get for killing my men"

Puchi!

But before he could even have a chance to turn a pain suddenly came from his abdomen. When he looks down, a golden hook has pierced his abdomen and lifting him up.

"W...hat the f*ck are you?!" the voice of the bandit leader was full of unwillingness as he felt his body getting dried. He stares at the standing headless body in front of him with a gaze that tells he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
