C14

(Narrator's Pov)

In a western border farthest distance away from a village, a man with a blindfold arrived at the camp were there are some people resting.

They were alerted already when the scouts reported, saying there is a adventurer walking towards their camp.

Oliver can sense 18 people that is part of a bandit and a girl who's age was at 15yo lying outside the tent unconscious with some ropes on her feet and arms at her back.

They gathered quickly as when they heard a news only to watch what about to happen. A man breaks the crowd saying..

"Boss let me handle this, those 2 weakling back in the village ain't a warm up to me" a man holding a greatsword but stopped as he see's the tag on him.

"Eh, A low rank obsidian dare to walk in our camp? Hey you scouts why didn't you kill him?" he continued.

"We are scouts, and we didn't have proper armour" the 2 scouts said annoyed.

"Just hurry it up Muscle Head, we got to regroup from others" a man with a staff in his left hand said waving him off and goes back inside the tent.

"Okay, boss" the greatsword warrior replied. "Well, I'll make this quick for you adventurer, Hiyaaah!" as he continued.

Dashing at Oliver with his greatsword slashing. But for Oliver, were his perception of time were slow dodging it easily as he mumbled..

"Slow" with Oliver's nonchalant expression while ignoring the greatsword warrior and walking towards the ones watching.

The bandits were shock that the approaching huge sword should cut the adventurer in half but dodges it barely cut his hair. He was walking towards them with his hand at its grip.

They didn't know what happen but everytime he passed by, there were red lines appearing at one of their companions neck. They only see the motion of his hand returning his sword and walks again.

The leader of the bandits notice some silence after his loudest companion shouted, he gets out of the tent and seeing some of his companion slowly lying down lifelessly. His expression turned grim and begins to run away.

'That is a monster in disguise, not an adventurer. Even if it is, they can't walk nonchalantly facing an enemies that overwhelmed them.' he thought and noticed that the man already arrived at front. He point's his staff at Oliver chanting, knowing that he's not going to escape today.

The girl lying beside the tent also woken up noticing the bodies of bandits and looking at their leader while the greatsword warrior already dashing at the man wearing blindfold.

"Fir--!" The bandit leader didn't even Finnish his chant as his vocal chord was cut, his hands falls down with stabs filling his body. He slump down on the ground as he sees the motion of Oliver's sword getting back to its sheath.

"BOSS!" the greatsword warrior shouted while slashing at Oliver again, seeing his boss lying down with pool of blood.

Being distracted by looking at his boss's body and looking at Oliver again seeing the same motion of his sword getting back at its sheath.

His vision begins to darken, as he feels a pain at his neck. Knowing some blood began to oozing out he blocks it with his hand, though useless as he lose consciousness dying slowly.

Oliver goes to the seat and removing his blindfold with his eyes closed as tears comes out. "I didn't expect that I worried about monsters attacking them... I'm so sorry" he said while clenching his fist hard.

As he contemplated, he didn't notice that the girl were already untied looking at him thinking 'He should be the husband with his beautiful wife that moved at the village months ago. So many people died and my parents too...'

Hour's later and Oliver began to sober up when he heard a rumbling looking at the direction of the girl sitting, looking at him shyly. He smiled at her while closing his eyes and puts the blindfold back.

Oliver stands up and walks to the girl, scratching his head and saying "Let's go and I'm sorry if you're waiting" while offering his hand.

The girl seeing his eyes and both of his iris and pupil were Silver, she thought about 'he's blind but the colours of it are beautiful' and snaps out of it when she heard him and offering his hand.

She accepted it and smiled. They began to find their way to the Town. Hour's later they arrived and bringing her to the guild to help her. After answering some questions of the guild girl of what happened, he leaves and goes to the pub drowning himself in sorrow.

In the pub when Oliver was drinking nonstop, some people looked at him confused and mumbling, seeing the owner of the pub gets down they were silent. The owner of the pub walks to Oliver's table and ask what happened.

After Oliver's wife and him were living together they become friends talking about something. Oliver wife's boss is a bulky old man with a look that was grumpy but not.

As Oliver begins to tell him and finished it, he was grabbed by his collar gripping it tightly with some shed tears.

But the Old Man Holding Oliver got his feelings hold back and didn't say anything as he throws him to the table destroying it. He blocks his eyes wiping his tears with his arms and punching the wall with all of his strength.

"Good thing you killed the one's who did it, or I might kill you if you didn't" the old man said walking away.
