104 Chapter - 103

"Okay!"

"Gasp!"

The bandits groaned everywhere.

"Don't try to force yourself. It's painful."

The eyes of the kneeling bandits gathered to me.

"You did it!"

"Yes."

It's hard to mistake someone else.

After admitting that it was me, he turned to Lofus.

"Lofus."

"…...uh,uh,what's wrong?"

"You're on our side. What are you looking at?"

"I did... but I don't even know your name. Why did you decide to be on your side?"

"My name is Decal.

Help the bandit strike. Then I'll let you go."

"Okay, I'm a partner of a warrior candidate. I'll help you with anything."

The story's over.

I looked around the chief and the frightened virgins and said.

"Go back home.

Lock the door and don't come outside."

"Dear Decal, I hope you're safe."

Chief said with a tightening of his head.

"Everything will be fine. Let's go, Lofus."

"Yes."

"You motherf*cker!"

"Lofus, you traitor!"

"Where are you going after making us like this?"

"Oh, shit! I can't move!"

Me and Lopus passed the roaring bandits and left the village.

When I come out, I can see a forest with thick grass.

Except for Ava, the other three were already gathered.

"What do you think?"

"I thought you'd be okay...…!"

Karen spoke in a bright voice.

"I can't believe it."

"Is this possible? There were eight of us, but I can't believe we're overpowering them in such a short time."

Stia is surprised,

Diana's eyes are filled with intense curiosity.

"What the hell did you do?"

"Already questioning?

Let's finish the work properly first. I can't go back now."

"Who's next to you?"

"Partners.

Don't be too wary. Because he betrayed us. It's too much to get along with the bandits again already."

"That's what I'm saying.

My name is Lofus. You've been guaranteed your life in exchange for helping you destroy the bandit."

Everyone looked at Lofus with a shameless face.

It wasn't far enough for me to hear you talk, but I was so excitedly persecuting the townspeople until now, and then I suddenly turned around with a straight face.

It's natural to think it's weird.

However, no one argued about it.

Things are already past that stage.

All that's left is to solve the problem. Everyone would be nervous with just that.

"Dekal, are you okay?"

Ava, who was in charge of the contact, ran late.

Ava was hiding separately because Ava had agreed to signal if anything happened to my personal safety.

But nothing happened.

Hypnosis is frighteningly effective. It was the moment when the fact was proved again.

"Lofus, tell me. How many people are in the bandit?"

"There's more than ten. I don't remember all the faces either."

Diana frowned.

"Can you really believe what he says?"

"You'll find out soon."

I calmly questioned Lofus in the place where everyone was listening.

The location of the base, how to get there, how many people are on alert in the middle, how many are armed,

Where are the traps, what kinds of traps, and how they can cope?

I say whatever comes to my mind as if I were typing in a machine.

Lofus told us everything without even the moment he thought about whether he could release the information.

Diana, who was watching suspiciously, gradually changed to a convincing atmosphere as the amount of information increased.

"Not all of them, but there's some information that might help.

There's no way he could have made up so many of these lies."

"So, I'm not lying. I'm a partner of a candidate for a warrior. It's all true."

Lofus was rather angry with Diana, who doubted him.

"Shut up! I'm the judge of that. I'm grateful just to listen carefully to trash talk like you."

"Which house girl are you? Man, you look like you're pissed off. Dekal must have had a hard time."

"You, you! Do you want to die?"

Lofus raised his hand in surprise.

"Wo, wo, wo. Calm down. That would be a breach of contract, right?"

"Diana would've stayed."

When I was next to him, Lofus shrugged his shoulders.

"Information is real."

"……umm."

Stia, who was lost in thought, opened her mouth.

"I didn't see anyone approaching the entrance of the forest while Decal brought Lofus in.

The opponent doesn't know what happened yet. Surprise strikes are valid. If the information he's saying is correct, it's decisive."There's a side road between us.

If you go that way, you'll have to kill two birds with one stone, because there's no annoying trap and you'll hit the back of the guard."

Everyone is looking at the brazen Lofus as absurd.

Was hypnosis too strong...….

It may not have been necessary until "If necessary, I will devote myself to protecting the candidates for the brave."

"If necessary" is also a part of relying on individual judgment.

In this case, it is effective in dealing with bandits.

Lofus became a complete collaborator as if he had forgotten what he was doing a while ago.

There is no sense of vigilance toward us.

Only then might Diana have noticed the existence of hypnosis.

But it doesn't matter if it's just a guess.

There is little evidence that I manipulated it to be like this.

There is a possibility that someone who believes that Lofus is a shallow human being.

"Lofus, last question.

How many people in your bandit are in bad shape?

It's a human who absorbs the Red Soul Stone."

"……Red Soul Stone?"

Lofus hesitated for the first time.

Like I've never heard of the Red Soul Stone.

"I don't know about that.

There was a weird guy. We don't care about each other, so we leave it alone without asking why."

"How many people were there?"

"Two. I thought I'd keep acting like I'm not good enough, but when I was fighting, I was fighting like crazy.

He seemed tireless when he raped a woman. I really liked the boss, so I decided to keep him by my side by his side."

"Do you have any idea when they've been weird?"

"Well, as I said, we're close friends. I'm not close to him.

They don't even ask me if I'm from. What do you want from the bandit?"

"……."

It's two people.

Will hypnosis work for humans who absorb red soul stones?

There was a high possibility that it would not work. The two men have no choice but to fight.

I've got all the information I can dig out.

I looked around everyone.

There was no one with a face that wanted to go back.

"Let's go to the side road."

I spoke calmly.

"Lofus, lead the way."

"Okay."

We took the side road he said with Lofus at the forefront.

I took out the lantern I prepared and handed it to Ava, and I held one.

"Stia, did you say that a man who absorbed the red spirit stone cannot be stopped by any means?"

"I feel like I'm forgetting my pain."

Do you feel like a criminal who took drugs?

"That's not really all I'm saying, but...…. It's definitely getting a lot stronger."

It's a little harder than that.

Considering the fact that a criminal who's drugged up and forgotten his pain has to be shot multiple times in order to subdue him at once,

Our prosecutors may be burdened.

"It's no big deal to think complicatedly in combat, so let's make it simple.

Ava, Stia, Karen, buy me some time when the Red Soul Stone is absorbed."

"Like when we used to fight together in the black woods?"

"Yeah, just like when Hope got Goblin."

"Leave it to me, I'll protect you."

Karen is trustworthy.

How many times have we fought together?

Come to think of it, I think we've been fighting ever since we met.

It was a hypnotized party, but...….

That's not the time to think. I was alert and focused.

Don't panic no matter what happens.

"I'll be there soon."

said Lofus.

Ava lowered the lantern she was holding.

"Shall I turn off the lights?"

"No, it's okay. Let's go with this. It's even more suspicious to turn off the lights if this is the path used by bandits."

"As Decal said."

I got the consent of Lofus, and my argument was strengthened.

We were able to easily enter the bandit base.

The base was an abandoned building surrounded by a simple wooden fence.

It was a luxurious place for bandits to live in, perhaps even if it was a villa of Buho who used to live here.

"From now on, let's turn off the lights and approach."

"Yes."

I put the lantern in my personal locker.

"Ouch, the patrol will be here in a little while."

Lofus lowered himself and talked confidently.

"……."

Now, all we have to do is check with both eyes if the information that Lofus has released is correct.

I don't have any particular doubts, but the process of everyone checking together is important.

Then without hesitation, I'll shake off the hideout.

I can go back in a good mood.

But...

Something unexpected happened to me, too.

I was sitting to the point where my legs were numb, but no one is coming."Huh? That's weird...…."

"……."

At that time, Stia pointed a knife at Lofus with a fierce look.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, no! I can't leave at this hour.

That means you broke the boss's order, but if you get caught, you'll be beaten to death."

"……."

"Stia, put the knife down."

I spoke quietly.

"You can't be talking here. I have to check it myself."

If this happens, we have no choice but to check it ourselves.

"Karen, come with me."

"Yes!"

"You wait here. We'll check the patrols."

"…...okay."

Stia got a sword.

Diana was staring at Lopus to get through the back of his head.

"Dekal, if he tries to do something suspicious, I'll kill him."

"Magic is too loud, so leave it to Stiana Ava."

I hid myself in a tent with Karen and came out as a patrol route for the bandits.

Walk straight outside the hideout along the road.

"Uh…."

Karen shrugged her shoulders creepy.

I was surprised and held my breath, too.

There was something not supposed to be in the patrol route.

a dead body

The mutilated body of the bandit lay in the middle of the forest road.

It is no wonder that the thief died.

It's like we're here to kill the bandits.

But it's strange if someone killed us before we did.

What happened?

I managed to suppress the feeling of vomiting.

"Let's get a closer look."

"……yes."

I'm glad there's someone around.

I thought so from the bottom of my heart.

I held Karen's hand. Karen squeezed my hand, too.

It doesn't matter who teases you as a coward. My body trembled at will, and so did Karen.

"……."

I calmly took a deep breath and approached the body.

to be much

It's just too much.

No matter who did this, I think I can never go out with one of these babies.

Even if the opponent is a criminal who deserves to die.

I heard there's a team of two on patrol.

I looked around.

We didn't say a word to each other because we were afraid that the person who made the body like this would notice.

There was another body nearby.

He was brutally murdered.

If a thief on the road feels like he's been attacked without knowing he's going to be beaten, this man is lying on his back...….

I think I died trying to run away.

I don't know if he's human, but...have no mercy

Even those who showed their backs to escape were torn to pieces.

"……."

Karen's breath is getting rough.

I took Karen's hand and moved away from the spread of the body.

"Whoa…."

We kept breathing deeply without talking to each other.

"What was that?"

"I don't know. ……I don't think it's human."

"Yes…."

A bear wouldn't know.

He couldn't have done that by human power.

However, when I first saw him, I was confident that he would have done it.

Because the body looked as if it had been abused.

"Let's go back to where everyone is."

"Yes."

I went back with Karen.

"……both of you.

What happened? You don't look good."

Stia asked anxiously if she could see it in the dark.

"The patrol boat is dead. After he was murdered by something."

Stia opened her eyes fiercely.

"The condition of the body...…how was it?"

"It was terrible. It was so horribly messed up that's hard to say."

"It's the beginning of the soul rush."

"……."

I thought I led the party well until now.

Let's take advantage of hypnosis actively to reduce risks and increase benefits.

I moved with that thought, and so far it has been effective.

But I don't have anything when there's a real crisis.

I don't have the courage or the guts to get through this.

"Lofus, did you see the patrol before you left?"

Lofus nodded.

"Before we got out here, we exchanged nasty stories.

……I was alive until then."

"Then…."

What's going on inside?

I heard a desperate scream when I was crazy there.

I'm completely stiff.

I couldn't ask you to run away or not to run away.

Everyone was terrified.

One exception.

"……let's go."

Stia grabbed the sword and said in a low voice.

We hid in a bandit hideout following Stia, who had stepped off first.
