First Hunting (2)

-krukh

Before the archer could even make a sound, an unbearable amount of force was exerted from the figure's hand as the archer's head was crushed right that very moment.

-Splash

-Spurt

-Spurt

The blood and part of the brain that was being crushed were scattered throughout the place, falling piece by piece.

It was a gruesome scene that even make the bandits stop attacking the guard and freeze at their spot.

The figure raised his hand that still holding the corpse of the Archer and throw it like it was nothing more than garbage.

"Enemy!! there wa-"

before the other archer could finish his word. A sword that had the same size as a human start flying towards him.

-Bang

"Aaaaaghh"

he tried to avoid it but it was too late. It has penetrated his body. The sword was stuck in the archer's body like he was being skewered. Everyone look at the scene as the two of the archer died.

Some of the bandits tried to look at the unknown figure's face but because of the night, the only thing that they could see is his silver-white hair.

The big sword was stuck at the body of the archer and just in a second the figure appear in front of the corpse and raised its sword with the corpse.

he swing his sword and the body that was stuck fall to the ground.

-Takk

-Pakk

the moment the corpse fall. He raised his sword again as he leans it on his shoulder. A light came in from the moon, shine on the figure and reveal the face of a pale youth, as the wind rustle his chronic white hair, the pair of golden eyes were glowing as it was showing no sign of emotion but just pure excitement.

"Don't worry Ladies causes I am here."

'Now that I had said it. It comes out more cringe than I thought.'

Damn! now I look like a fucking chunibiyo who just hit puberty. It was so cheesy, that I feel like it was better to just take this sword and slash my head with it.

'Mmm'

Or should I just start a mass massacre? That was one way to do it. Like every old saying.

'No one will notice,

if there's no one to notice.'

let's just think about it later...

A few minutes ago, I decided that it was about time I interfered because of the situations where merchants and their bodyguards who were close to cross the threshold of life to death.

I don't actually care about the bodyguard because they had no use. But I will need the merchant to make money and connection.

'Why be poor and weak when you can become more than that. right?'

I want an exciting life, but not as useless trash who leach on his mother's money.

"Kill him!! Don't let him survive."

The middle-aged man screams as his face crumples while looking at me. He grips on his weapon more tightly as he sees a new obstacle has appeared in their plan.

As I heard the bandits were screaming and yelling like a fucking retard while moving toward me. I start making my move again.

I move towards the rear where the healers were treating the injured. I approach them with my skill 'fog walk' and appear behind the healers.

When he looked at me.

He reach for the knife on his waist and tried to attack me.

'wind splitter'

I activated the new skills that I got and swing my huge sword horizontally.

It cut his body into two. The clear cut makes the body dissect from its leg and fall.

'This new skill is not that impressive. It can strengthen a slash or any attack that uses a sword but it will drain the host stamina.'

This skill also can grow but the skill tree of this kind doesn't really worth putting effort into as it was only an attack skill and it needs a sword to activate. Not very flexible, I would say.

But, I still can use it for things like this.

I will be putting some demonic energy that I had left. Because I still need to settle this as fast as I can and go back to my room because I don't want some commotion about a wanker trying to find her lost son.

Meanwhile, a scruff, middle-aged man wielding a machete lunged towards Me, hoping to disrupt my attack. Although the wind splitter skill didn't even seem all too powerful. They were scared.

I control the demonic energy, lead it to the sword, and wrapped it around the tip of the blade as I activated the skill again.

I swing the sword horizontally again from the spot where I had killed the healer.

-Slash

The moment the sword slashed. A gust of winds with dark particles started to move in the direction of the slash.

As the wind moves. All of the bandits that were already injured, died. Their body was dissected and crushed like they were hit by a tornado same goes for the man who hold the machete that tried to close his distance.

-crash

The end of the slash hit a tree near the merchant carriages, leaving nothing but a few broken woods and a fallen tree.

[ New skill learned. Demonic Control (A)]

[New skill branch open. Demonic wind splitter (B)]

As I ignored the system notification because the skill was mine from the beginning. The system just listed it, in the record. So there was not much to celebrate about.

'Anyway Damn, That was a good slash. It quite long since I released some stress. But it consumes more demonic energy than I thought.'

Including the time I kill the Big guy. I only use the demonic energy 6 times and I was nearly drained.

Let's finish this.

...

Sarah's POV :

We were surrounded. There was 1 noble and 2 merchants were hiding inside the carriage. They had no combat capabilities. All the other guards were already dead except the 5 of us.

Even with our perfect formation. It was not looking good as we were outnumbered. Our tank and swordsman had already lost a lot of stamina on defense and the enemy was triple of our number.

The bandits were still pushing our tank. The moment that our tank fall. I can see the formation break. The bandits start to move to the rear and targeting me because I was the healer.

This is the worst situation. I can't even do anything right now.

'what should I do? I can't heal the tank my mana is already depleted.'

My mind goes blank, I was sweating, my leg was trembling. I hold my hands together hoping for someone or anyone to save me.

'Because of m- Because of me, this people gonna die. Please if there is anyone god or anything safe me and these people.'

My eyes were in tears as I see Emma. Emma was so amazing she can calmly analyze the situation and act on it. She throws his bow and reaches for his knife because she already lost the advantage of distance. She tried to fight till the end.

'why can't I be like her?'

As I accept this failure of life as my faith. I closed my eyes.

-Krukh

A sound was heard. It was the sound of bone cracking. I was in despair thinking one of my comrades had a broken bone or something worse.

After that, I opened my eyes slowly. I glanced to the right and my left as I see all five of us still standing.

'If it not from my team. Than where was that sound coming from?'

As I look in the distance where the bandit's healer and archer are located. There was a figure with his silver-white hair he was holding a huge sword as he massacre the bandits without mercy.

He stopped for a bit and muttered something but I can't hear it as our distance was like 10 meters away.

He also uses a super crazy skill where it just blows everything to pieces. He was like a hero in a fairy tale.

'Someone actually came to rescue us?'

A new hope had appeared while I was falling into despair.

As he finished killing the people in the rear. He moves toward our group. There were like 10 bandits with us and our tank and swordsman holding 3 each, Emma was fighting 2, and remains were held by our mage with her air chain magic.

While my team was struggling so hard trying to survive. I can see the figure was making an expression of excitement. There was a smile on that man's face. He was actually enjoying the sight.

Suddenly I felt my body shiver uncontrollably. Not just me but everyone was shaking as they saw the man approaching us. He was using 'Killing Intent' it was so potent that it envelop the entire place like a dark energy surrounding us.

'How many people do you need to kill, to get this much 'killing intent'?'

Killing Intent is more like a technique based on emotion. It is a skill that can be learned by anyone but need an excessive amount of training and experience. To even get this much Killing intent means that, he had gone to many battlefields by killing many living beings and had a hellish amount of training.

"You had two options. Live in a cage or die with freedom."

The figure was giving us choice but no one answer as they were frozen and terrified by the figure. All of us understand the situation that we were in, that man had the ability to kill all of us without breaking a sweat, and if we make a wrong choice we might die or worse suffer.

"Liv-, Live we choose to live"

All of us look at the person who answered the question. As I look to my left. The one who answer the question was Emma.

"Ye- Yes, We choose to live"

Someone else answered it too. It was Eli she was the mage of our group. She was nodding while looking straight at the figure. I can't help myself but nod with her because the situation was so tense it was making me anxious, that I can't even raise my voice to answer.

The figure glance at every single one of us.

He smiled while opening his mouth.

"Than, live you shall."

In just a second after that, The man disappeared. We didn't understand what was the purpose of that man, why was he asking this kind of question and how can he just leave like that. We glance at our left and right but he wasn't there. It was like he vanished like a fog disappeared in night.

Then one of the bandits falls unconscious. It was just a second after that, Emma and Eli fall to the ground too.

"aaahhh-"

"run! Ru-!"

Everyone started to panic. Some of the bandits tried to run and some were screaming but before they could react to anything they fall to the ground.

-snap

I was scared. My leg gave out and I fall to the ground.

'what was his purpose? why us? what was actually going on here?'

As I was thinking. I felt something or someone actually moving behind me.

-snap

Before I could even turn around I felt my neck being slapped. It seem, I was no exception. As I felt like my consciousness fading and my sight become blurry. I fell unconscious.
