Chapter 832 - Turning the tables

Chapter 832

(Unedited)

…

While the battle is happening, the villagers watching this scene from behind their walls were all astonished. How could those mages be that powerful? According to the norms in this kingdom, the rank of a mage can be judge according to the size of the fireball or spell they can cast, the speed of casting, and the mana fluctuation as they cast the spell.

So judging from the way those mages cast the fireball, along with the color and the size, they could only judge them as 3rd level mages. However, upon seeing the devastation those spells caused, everyone could tell that they are already at the level of a High Mage.

And so everyone who saw this battle was all in awe of the power of those mages in the merchant ship.

They now have a new opinion towards the mages in that ship and especially their leader, Master Shin.

Shin Jiao could actually take out some advanced weaponry or gears, but that would be a waste. Since this is a nice way to exhibit his strength without being too overbearing, then this way is already enough to scare these people.

Yein Han who saw the battle on the side could not help but tremble a bit. She could not even close her dainty little mouth while gawking at the chaos in the forest.

"Well… What do you think of the power of our Mystique shop?" Shin Jiao asked casually while also watching the battle.

"…"

Yein Han could not say anything. In her mind, she already knew that she has underestimated this merchant. She thought that he would not be able to fight back, and would just rely on the strong protective barrier of the ship.

But who would have known that this man is hiding this kind of strong offensive might?

From the speed of those casted spells, Yein Han is afraid that she herself would not have time to put up a defensive barrier before being blasted apart.

The speed of those projectiles is truly terrifying. And added to that the devastation they caused, one could tell that this is because of those weird-shaped wands.

She then regained her composure and asked.

"What… What kind of wands are those?" Yein Han asked with curiosity in her eyes.

Shin Jiao gave a faint smile and shifted his gaze to the beautiful young lady standing on the side with her little brother.

"You know Im Jae, right? She is the one who invented those things. You can ask her that question." Shin Jiao said prompting Im Jae to nod her head.

Im Jae then began explaining about the staff and its function.

…

Meanwhile, on the battleground, Xiamen Gong and Axle Long are fighting against two women with burly features. The two women have attractive features, but their strength and muscle build are like that of a burly man. If they did not have those twin peaks covered in armor, the two men would think that those two are men.

But not only is their body but also their strength is comparable to men, they are even stronger than the bandits the two have faced so far.

After exchanging more than 20 times, they knew that those two women are not that simple.

At this time, the bandit chief has already retreated and left his men to die on that battlefield.

"I never expected those people to be this powerful… Huff… huff… huff…" the Bandit Chief muttered while catching his breath.

From where he is standing he could see and hear the battle still going on the loud explosions. Some of the cowardly bandits are also following him from behind.

"Chief, what should we do?" one of the people following him asked.

"What should we do? You are asking me this? We are bandits! If we face foes stronger than us, then we retreat, simple as that!" he shouted in annoyance.

The group continues escaping and left their comrades to die. But the group suddenly stopped as they sense that something is wrong with their surroundings.

Shin Jiao who is leisurely talking with Yein Han suddenly stood up and politely gesture.

"Village head, may I excuse myself… I have to take care of some business for a second…" after saying this, Shin Jiao's figure blurred and disappear from his spot.

Yein Han was a bit dumbfounded as she did not know what is happening now.

In front of the Bandit Chief stood a tall female wearing a hood and half of her face is covered with a mask and some strands of hair.

"You shall not pass…" she said in a low voice as she stood without fear in front of the bandits.

"Hahaha… How dare a mere woman stop this me! I am the Bandit Chief of the Bandits of the West, what do you count for?" the burly Bandit chief said with a scowl.

"You are a mere Bandit Chief, I don't' even want to know your name. Your previous Bandit Chief was killed by me, what do you count for?"

The cold tone from the woman and her words made the bandits feel shivers running down their spine. This is because they recognize who this person is. She is the hidden expert of the Arjing Village. The assassin who has killed their previous bandit chief and the reason why they dare not invade the village for a long time.

At that time, this woman is still young and weak and it has been many years since then. Now this woman might even be stronger than before, so how could they not fear her?

"She is alone why do you fear her?" the Bandit Chief shouted as he wields his large battle-ax.

Everyone was riled up and also took out their weapons ready to fight.

The surrounding suddenly turned silent, and a single dry tree leaf glided slowly to the ground.

When the left touches the forest ground, it was as if a signal that made the bandits and the woman made their move.

When they were about to clash with the woman, she suddenly disappears like a cloud of smoke.

"Where… Where is she?"

"Oh, no… I guess the legends are true. She is really the Ghost Assassin."

"Don't panic! She is around here somewhere; we should keep our guards…"

The man did not finish his words as a dagger suddenly appear stabbing his throat. Then the woman appears out of the black smoke holding the dagger.

Yemei Yin did not hesitate to pull the dagger out and immediately cast the invisibility spell to make her body disappear.

This is already a routine for her to vanish in thin air in just a few seconds. But of course, it still takes a toll on her mana. But ever since she reached the 5th level, she could do this around 20 times at the maximum.

And that is already enough to kill everyone in this place.

The battle became a mix of panic and terror as the bandit fall one by one in her dagger.

Soon only three were left, the Bandit Chief, and two other bandits beside him.

"She is already weak! Let's get her!" shouted the Bandit Chief as he rushed towards Yemei Yin.

The large ax sweep towards her neck and she bend her body to dodge the attack. Who would have known that upon doing this, her consciousness would suddenly become blurry?

"Enchanted weapon!" she muttered as she staggered.

Then the two bandits grab this chance to attack her on both sides. They are planning to disable her ability to fight.

They knew that the woman is already tired, so they plan to play with her. This is the common trait of these bandits. Though not all of them are like this, these three remaining ones have this kind of attitude.

The Bandit Chief already has his eyes glowing in excitement upon knowing that the woman could not fight back anymore. His battle-ax is enchanted with lethargy and fatigue effect making his opponent become weaker as the fight goes on.

And not the effect is evident and they knew that the woman has fallen in their hands.

Yemei Yin helplessly fell on her knees as she felt her body becoming weaker.

"Hehehe… Boss, let's unmask her, many said that the Ghost Assassin is a great beauty. Judging from her hot body, I can't wait to see her face." one of the bandits said.

Although their companions died, they did not care. What they care about right now is the prize they are going to have.

"Hehe… Let's see it then…" the Bandit Chief said signaling for one of them to take her mask off.

Yemei Yin was helpless as she could not even defend herself as her mask was taken off.

Then in front of the three bandits, her half disfigured face was exposed making the three almost jump in horror.

Half of her face looks normal, in fact, she is a beauty. However, the other half looks scary. In the half part of her face, her nose is missing, her teeth are exposed, and a large scary scar distorted her appearance.

It was truly horrifying that it made these bandits suddenly feel afraid.

"Damn! This is…" The Bandit Chief was now angered.

"Boss… boss… I.. I still want her!" one of the bandits hurriedly said.

"Alright, just hurry it up!" the Bandit Chief said in annoyance.

Then he turns around in disgust.
