Chapter 30 Eliminating The Bandits
At the shout of their angry bandit leader, several bandits attacked Roger with their big swords.
Roger looked at the bandits who were attacking him and sneered. He waved his hand and released a wind blade, cutting several bandits in half.
When the bandit leader saw Roger kill several of his underlings so easily, he instantly knew that he had encountered a tough opponent.
However, in order to complete the mission and confirm the elimination of Kasri’s group of three, even if he encountered a tough opponent, he would have to grit his teeth and swallow it down to kill Roger.
Then, he took out the big sword from his waist, pointed it at Roger, and roared angrily, “A pretty boy like you actually dared to kill my people. You must be really tired of living. Brothers, whoever hurts this pretty boy, I’ll reward you with five gold coins. If you kill this pretty boy, I’ll reward you with an advanced breathing technique!”
With high risks came high rewards. As soon as the bandit leader made his announcement,
his underlings quickly disregarded Roger’s show of strength.
They all shouted and charged at Roger, waving their big swords and attacking him.
As all the Second-rank bandits charged at him, Roger remained calm.
He jumped off the Silver Wolf and walked to Kasri’s prone body. He then cast a layer of protective magic array on the three of them.
A bloodthirsty look gradually appeared on his face. After he slowly pulled out a long sword from his back. He waved it a few times, and several sharp crescent blades of wind instantly shot out, cutting off the limbs of all the bandits ‘mounts that were charging at him.
Dozens of bandits who had come to kill him fell off their horses. The moment the lucky bandits fell off their horses, they rolled to the side and only suffered minor injuries.
As for the unlucky bandits, the moment they fell off the horses, they were directly struck and crushed to death by their crippled
mounts.
Looking at the bandits who couldn’t even take his attack, Roger had a mocking expression on his face. He provoked the bandit leader
with a cold tone,
“Just a motley crew, no order in their tactics,
only relying on numbers.
Dozens of dead Second-ranks against a Second-rank kid like me. What a bunch of trash.”
In the face of Roger’s ridicule, the bandit leader’s face instantly became extremely gloomy. The anger that was ignited by Roger’s provocation just now instantly increased by 30%. He roared at Roger,
“Pretty boy, don’t think that you can force me to retreat by cutting off a few horse legs and
making me lose a few men.
When I started doing this, you were still suckling milk!
Brothers, let this self-righteous gigolo see
how powerful we are. Let him know why the Empire has still let us run free for so many
years.
“Yes, boss. We must let this pretty boy see our
power.”
Upon hearing the bandit leader’s words, Roger was suddenly interested. He wanted to
see what the bandit leader’s trump cards
were.
Then, he shouted to the bandit leader in a
teasing tone,
“Then you’d better be quick. If you take too
long, I’m leaving with the ladies!”
The bandit leader’s face turned red with anger
at Roger’s teasing.
Although he didn’t know what Roger meant about leaving, Roger’s teasing tone made him
feel very uncomfortable.
Then, all the bandits formed a triangular-square formation with the bandit leader at the top. They formed an energy-gathering formation and gathered all the power in their bodies into the bandit leader, rapidly increasing his strength. Roger looked at the formation, which was
similar to what he once seen in a series. He
was interested. He wanted to see how powerful this energy-gathering formation
was.
Then, while the bandit leader was gathering
energy, he added several layers of defensive magic arrays to himself, ready to resist their attack and see if there was anything he could learn from the other party’s magic arrays. A few seconds later, all the bandits ‘energy had gathered into the bandit leader’s body. Lava-like patterns appeared all over the bandit leader’s body, and his pupils had disappeared. His eyeballs had become two empty holes that emitted a white light.
Roger who had the inheritance of the Arcane World, instantly understood that the bandit leader had turned into such a terrifying state
because he could not withstand the influx of
energy.
Roger’s blood started rushing. He wasn’t afraid at all, only excited.
Then, he made an insulting gesture to the
bandit leader, which was common in the other world, and asked the bandit leader to come at him.
The bandit leader looked at Roger’s insulting hand gesture and aloofness. He was overwhelmed by anger. He raised the long sword in his hand and attacked Roger. Roger looked at the bandit leader, who was
running towards him at a high speed, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer. After enhancing himself with all the spells he knew, he met his charge.
In an instant, the two of them collided. As the
sound of their swords clashing continued, the surrounding ground was also damaged by the aftershocks of their battle, causing it to be covered in nicks and craters.
After fighting with the bandit leader for a few
minutes, Roger also saw through the bandit leader’s background.
The enhanced bandit leader had to be around
the Fifth-rank, but his range of movement
was also limited. When they strayed further from the energy-gathering array’s range of 100 meters, his strength would begin to
weaken.
After figuring out the strength of the bandit boss and the situation of the energy-gathering array, Roger did not have the intention to continue probing.
Then, he struck with all his might and sent
the bandit leader flying back to the energy-gathering formation. He brandished
hundreds of wind blades and attacked the bandit leader and the others. While the bandit leader and the others were
busy fending off the gale blades, Roger used some earth magic that he had learned from
the Arcane World. It had both attack power and terrain-controlling abilities, the earth swamp, to trap the bandit leader and all his
men.
After the bandit leader and the others were dealt with, Roger released hundreds of wind
blades.
Roger didn’t give the bandits a chance to
catch their breath. He directly activated the earth swamp magic array and turned the ground under the bandits’ feet into a pool of
mud.
As the bandits realized that something was wrong with the ground, they started
to
struggle, and the speed at which they were swallowed by the mud only accelerated. In just a few moments, all the bandits were
swallowed by the mud while they cursed and begged for mercy. They were buried deep underground, never to come out again to harm others.
