Chapter 39: 3 vs 1

I turned to Kat and whispered. "Disable this man's moves, then you help Pif!"

Kat pulled two arrows out of the quiver, then stabbed them into Theo's calves.

"Arrrrgggggghhhh!!!" Theo screamed in pain again.

The girl got to her feet, but Theo caught her ankle.

The enemy shook his head. "We really need to bring Pif to our tribe."

Kat took out another arrow, then stuck it into Theo's hand that was holding her leg. Theo screamed even louder, and Kat was finally able to free herself.

Meanwhile, Egan was already strangling Pif's neck and glaring at the skinny man. "I really want to beat you to death right now, but I don't want the consequences."

"Please, I'll come with you, but don't hurt my friends." Pif pleaded with trembling lips and a frightened face.

Egan shook his head and laughed. "You know, that's impossible, right? I will kill the boys and I will torture the two girls until they really choose to die…. Arrrggghhhhh!!!"

One of Kat's arrows had pierced the ponytailed man's back. Kat wasn't done yet, she shot her second arrow and this time hit the enemy's mid-chest.

"Bastard!!! I will burn your pussy later!!!" The man had already turned and was coming at Kat, but he was pierced by an arrow again. This time on his waist. "Shiiiiitttt!!!"

I've ordered Kat to shoot arrows at the man's heart, but Kat's ranged attack stat isn't even 60 yet. She can shoot at the target, but not always precisely.

Even the next arrow only hit the enemy's shoulder. With an increasingly fierce face, the lead attacker limped towards Kat.

Kat checked her quiver, which was now empty.

"Run, Kat! Run!!!" I screamed as loud as I could, then pressed the pause button.

I checked my surroundings for a moment, then whispered something to Pif. After that, I went to Manu and Leva, who had started to get up, giving them instructions.

And finally, I took a position to watch them, took a breath, then pressed the play button.

Egan pulled an arrow from his thigh while groaning ferociously. It seemed he was about to run after Kat, who had run away. However, Pif was already standing close behind him, carrying a stone the size of three human fists.

Instead of hitting the stone on Egam's head, Pif threw it. Yes, Pif's ranged attack stats are higher than melee attacks. It would be more effective if Pif threw the stone.

The stone hit the back of Egam's head. Not too hard, but enough to make him stagger. Then, came Manu, who ran towards him, tackled his body until he was knocked down. Manu then starts hitting the ponytailed man in the face.

"Bastard!!!" Egan pressed Manu's left eye with his thumb, causing the bearded man to scream in pain. The lead attacker pushed Manu away, then tried to get up.

"Heaah!!!"

Not yet fully standing, Egan turned his head to the side, which was the source of the scream. Leva was already there, swinging Manu's ax.

Thwack!

The ax plunged into Egam's neck, causing him to freeze instantly. His mouth was oozing fresh blood, and his hands were drooping down.

Leva looked into her enemy's eyes with a heavy breath, which now had no light of life. The woman spat at him, then released her grip from the ax, leaving the chopper stuck in the enemy's neck.

The man's corpse then fell to the side with his eyes opened. Kat, who had run quite a distance, stopped in an instant as she looked back.

Leva, Manu, and Pif threw themselves into the grass, catching their breath.

"Nooo!!!" Theo, who was crawling on the ground to escape, screamed hysterically when he saw the incident from a distance. He crawled faster, but Kat stopped him. I did ask the girl to restrain Theo again.

"Drag his body and then tie his hands." I gave another order to the girl.

Kat then grabbed Theo's leg and dragged him from there. Theo tried to free himself, but his legs were practically paralyzed. He couldn't do much but scream and cry.

"Stop it, Manu!"

Leva's scream startled me. As soon as I looked at the three people, I found that Manu had already occupied Pif's body. The bearded man had strangled the skinny man.

"It's all because of you!" Manu snapped in Pif's face. "If you didn't join us, they wouldn't come here! You should just be killed, so they don't bother coming here! And you deserve to die! You used to raid this place too, right!?"

"Your words make no sense, Manu! If Pif is killed, they'll get even angrier!" Leva tried to get up, but she stumbled and fell again. "Please, stop it, Manu!"

"Shut up!" Manu's face looked even more violent. "I will avenge us!"

I panicked, trying to give orders to Manu to stop this. But it was no use, even though Pif's mouth was already gasping for air and her face was turning blue. The skinny young man was helpless.

No. I don't want to lose any of my colonists, even though he is weak and can only treat the injured.

Just as I was about to hit the pause button and wanted to ask Kat to stop this, Leva finally got up. The red-haired girl ran and punched Manu in the face as hard as possible, even though it also knocked her down.

Manu's choke slipped, but Pif was already unconscious. Fortunately, the young man was still breathing, and there was no in-game warning that his life was in danger.

"You can change, Manu!" Still slumped to the ground, Leva screamed in a hoarse, teary voice. "I know, it's not really you who wants to always seek revenge! Fight the devil within you, Manu! If I can change so as not to harm others, I'm sure you can too!"

Manu kneels down and squeezes his head. His tears also started to fall. "God, why would I do something like this again?"

"We still have to take care of each other, Manu." Leva's eyes filled with tears. "So, please."

I couldn't help but stare at the scene. This is really just a game, right?
