CHAPTER 82

After my unfortunate incident with the Bolton soldiers, I went to Hornwood and stopped to train with the familiars in the training space, where I took a break. Now Poe, Erebus, Berus, and I were fighting dummy with no restraint, and occasionally when we swallowed more than we could chew, we were dying. Berus' cowardice disappeared when he became an adult dog, and his personality became more protective and possessive.

As time passed, all my familiars were getting stronger than normal animals. Berus could hardly bend steel at this time, but he could bend armor made of plain iron with his teeth.

Poe, on the other hand, started to get much better at using the air element; now, she could cast the dive bombing spell within about 6 meters of height and learned a new spell. She was able to cast the eludo jelmio (Warding Wind) spell on herself.

Erebus, like Berus, was getting physically strong. His talons and beak were so sharp they could bend and scratch iron armor, and he kept getting bigger. He was now 1.6 meters (5.2 ft) from head to talons, and Berus was 1.1 meters from head to paw.

Imu didn't get bigger than 1 meter, but he manifested his magical ability. He could use earth elements, poison spit, and spray. He wasn't able to use any earth element attack spells, but he could dive into rocks or soil like it was water. as for his poison, he could send a concentrated poison for 6 meters or spray it in a 2-meter cone.

The Sith and Lyka are about 60 cm tall and love to fight as they are already wild animals, but I only have them fight with defensive dummies. While we were continuing our training in training space, we heard from Poe and Erebus Murders and learned that people were fighting about 2 kilometers away.

We left the training space immediately, and I used Promodynes ( locate animals ). About 80 people were fighting. Since I was able to connect to the dominated ravens at this distance, I looked at what was happening and saw that a caravan on the main road had been attacked. Since I thought it was an excellent opportunity to increase Squire Aermir's reputation, I used all the buffs and started running in that direction.

When I arrived at the scene, I understood what was going on. Fifty-three of the eighty people were civilians, and the number of bandits was 27. It was total pandemonium; there wasn't even one real warrior among the civilians. They all tried to defend themselves with farm implements and sticks, and many died.

Without wasting time, I started shooting arrows for those with the highest stats among the bandits. I had killed ten of them before the bandits realized what had happened, and out of the approximately 40 remaining villagers, only ten were able to fight. The other 30 were children, the elderly, or men and women who were too scared to fight.

Two of the fighting villagers, in particular, caught my attention. A man 1.8 meters tall was swinging a massive wooden club in his hand like a stick. The man had 8.5 str, the other was a 12-14-year-old boy, and he was moving fluidly around everyone like oil and stabbing everything that came close with the dagger in his hand.

What caught my attention in this kid was how fast he was; he has 8.9 spd. The fastest bandit had 7.4 spd, so they couldn't catch him, but it was clear that the boy didn't know how to fight or use the dagger. Ten of the remaining 17 bandits had begun to surround them, and the other ten were coming towards me.

I couldn't destroy them with spells as I did in bandits' hideouts because there were many people around, so I could only use spells undetectable in this crowd. I was also throwing knives as I approached bandits. Of the five knives I threw, 3 of them stabbed the bandits at deadly points, and the other two caused minor cuts, but seeing three more of their friends die added to their hesitation.

So, I immediately took advantage of the gap and attacked the farthest bandit. He was able to parry my first move, but my following move caught him by surprise. I was able to make a deep cut in the inside of his calf. Meanwhile, while the other seven were trying to surround me, I made a small hole in the ground using Formotegon ( mold earth ), and the bandit at the front tripped and fell.

The other three bandits following him tripped over him and fell. This way, I disabled 4 of the remaining six bandits for a while. I cast the letagon (snare) on the bandit, who fell on top of the other two when they fell, causing it to freeze for a few seconds. Meanwhile, I did a quick work out of the two standing bandits.

Of the four bandits that had fallen to the ground, only one was able to get up, and others were still trying to shake off their paralyzed friends. I threw another knife at one of those struggling on the ground and hit him in the back.

Seeing this, the other bandit attacked me, but thanks to my buffs, I had 8 str and 9 spd. So, none of the bandits could stand in front of me. It took me a few minutes to kill the remaining bandits. The bandits fighting the villagers saw this and began to flee. Of the ten villagers who fought, only four remained.

-kids, kill the fleeing bandits when they're out of sight-

My familiars all happily agreed in unison. Each and every one of them was turning into a battle junkie.
