Chapter 162 - Preemptive Strike!

It did not matter to Randy whether he was simply paranoid because of his current environment or not because it was still better to safe than sorry later.

After all, who knows if this screaming voice was not some creature pretending to be a human with that human voice to lure him over to its location and then catch him completely off guard when he tries to pursue the voice in concern? 

Moreover, although, it may sound bizarre, there were indeed some monsters out there with such frightening abilities and cunningness. Randy had briefly learned about them back in the academy, so he was especially vigilant when he came to this unknown world. 

After all, with the situation being this way, the possibility that there might be monsters that he had never heard about or seen in this world is very high. Furthermore, as a stranger to this place, he needed to exercise the most. Otherwise, with the least amount of mistakes, he could end up losing his life. 

With that thought in mind, he carefully but cautiously approached the location where the voice was coming from, and the more he approached, the more he thought that the screaming voice belonged to a female, specifically a young one. 

Even so, he did not rush and took his time getting there. Eventually, he was standing about 10 meters away as he observed the situation from atop a huge tree that he climbed for better view. 

But what he saw down there caused him to frown in disgust shortly after.

After peering in the distance, Randy saw a blonde man who looked to be in his twenties, standing there in an open space within the forest. There was also a young girl with both hands tied up against a tree while lying there. 

However, the blonde man had his pants down, his armor taken off and placed to the side, and the young girl, on the other hand, was struggling to break free from her restraints as she screamed in strange words, but it seemed like she was calling for help.

The next moment, the blond man said something in some language and then slapped the girl in her face. 

When the young girl was slapped by the blonde man just now, the young girl was momentarily shocked, and she then began crying afterward while still struggling to get out of her restraints.   

The blonde man got on top of her and held her two hands backward, seemingly trying to force himself on the young girl, and the young girl kept wailing and struggling, but she could not move around much this time. 

The grip of the blonde man was too strong, so she could move arms that were gripped tightly by him. The young girl displayed a look of fear when she noticed this. Meanwhile, the blonde man showed a lecherously wide grin as he licked his lips as he muttered something to the young girl, causing her face to turn grim.

Upon further observation, Randy noticed that there seemed to be other people besides the blonde man and the screaming young girl within the forest. As he looked in the distance away from where the blonde man and the young girl were, he saw two other armed men walking away from them.

But judging from the identical armors of the two men, which were somewhat similar to the blonde man's armor that he had taken off, Randy could confirm that they belong to the same organization.

Then afterward, he turned his gaze back to the situation below him. 

Seeing the situation once again, Randy scowled with a displeased expression on his complexion. But he did not plan on intervening in something without knowing the whole story. 

Not to mention, he did not know how strong the other parties were. That was the reason why he did not act right away. But even if he knew how strong they were, why would he get involved in something this troublesome which would without a doubt bring him trouble afterward? Unless he plans on killing the other parties, he will not get involved in this matter.

But after observing the situation for a while and then looking at the young girl's appearance. He noticed that she was about the same age as his little sister. Realizing this, he felt annoyed for some reason. 

However, he still did not do anything right away and then pondered his decisions before realizing something. 

He realized that he only came to this world recently and did not know anyone in this place. He could choose to help the men take advantage o the helpless little girl and then ask them to help him out of this place, but there was a possibility that they would kill to silence him to cover their deed. 

Either that, or he could choose to kill this disgusting man and thereby get the little girl to trust him. Afterward, he would enlist her to show him the way out or tell him how to get out of this place. 

After contemplating for a few more moments, he decided on his next course of action and quickly acted by activating his skill and technique. 

[[Ancestral Regression Skill Activated]]

[[Traceless Form Technique Activated]]

With this skill and technique, he was now prepared. The next moment, he quickly but lightly climbed down from the tree and then stealthily approached the two people. 

At this point, the blonde man was still on top of the weeping and wailing little girl. And after forcefully opening her two legs, holding them to both sides, and when he was about to do the deed with his tongue stuck out and drooling, he suddenly stopped in his movement.

He instantly froze as if he was some statue but could still move his countenance despite his frozen state.

A moment later, he frowned with a cautious expression and immediately exuded blinding holy energy from his body to protect himself from what prevented his movement with the intention to resist against it. 

Unfortunately, he was still motionless even after that. It was then that he realized that his skill was not working on this attack on his body and was quickly left in bewilderment. 

Randy took this chance and then immediately threw out a preemptive strike at the back of the other party's head before they had the opportunity to attempt something else besides the yellow light from just now. 

BAM! 

[Void Rippling Punch]

"Arghh!" 

The blonde man screamed in pain but started shouting something a moment later, seemingly cursing out loud in an incomprehensible language, causing Randy to be surprised once again by their strange language that he had never heard before. 

However, Randy was surprised by something else; this person was still unscathed even after his surprise attack just now.

'Is this because of something that he carries with him or his ability? When I hit him, it felt like my punch lost some of its strength, and it felt like I had used 'Void Wave Punch' instead of 'Void Rippling Punch' just now.' 

But Randy quickly dismissed this thought, as he did not want to bother or waste any time pondering about this matter. Thus, he continued to throw another attack at the back of the blonde man's head, and then another one without stopping to take a break.

Starting from this moment, he kept on throwing out punches in succession against the blonde man's head.

Randy believed that if the other party had the means to protect themself, he only needed to keep punching them until those protective means eventually lose their effects.
