The four new bandits slowly walked into the prison, chatting with themselves, while the other two bandits remained standing near the door, confused about the disappearance of their partners.
"Huh, where did they go?", one of them muttered and walked deeper into the prison.
The other bandit too followed as both of them reached the dark corner of the prison.
Suddenly, both of them widened their eyes the moment they caught sight of their partners.
"N-No...they wouldn't...., right?", one of them stuttered with a strange expression.
The other bandit also gulped as he took a step back nervously.
"L-Leave them be, it's their choice. We'd better not involve ourselves with them....."
In the dark corner of the prison, they could see their two partners lying intimately atop each other.
And even though only their lower bodies were visible in the dark, it wouldn't take a genius to guess what activity they were doing.
The two of them turned their backs to their 'partners' and waited patiently for them to finish.
"But still.....aren't they being a bit too silent?", the first bandit asked awkwardly while scratching his head.
The other bandit twisted his face and replied with a sour tone.
"What do I know they're doing? It must be some weird fetish they may have. So just be silent and don't ask me all these strange questions, cuz I for one, am straight as hell."
The four bandits at the door were confused when they saw the two bandits acting strangely and covering the dark corner of the prison, but they didn't mind and gave them some time.
Meanwhile, Felix had swam his way to the prison's door and was slowly emerging out from behind the four bandits.
Nobody noticed when he surfaced on the ground, so he slowly closed the door tightly and locked it from inside.
Turning around, he raised his lips and used his recently made skill.
'Dust Blast!'
He quickly created a mini storm of rocks and sand, starting from the door, and blasted it towards the direction of the four bandits.
"Wait- Do you hear that?"
"Huh, where's this dust coming from?"
Suddenly, a torrent of dust particles rushed towards them, catching them off their guard, and hitting them before they could react.
"Aaahhh!!"
"W-What's this?!"
The four bandits were attacked by rocks and sand that inflected minor wounds on their bodies and pushed them a few meters backwards.
One of the bandits even fell down as he struggled and painfully blocked the violent mini-storm.
The other two bandits standing in the dark corner jumped up when they heard the loud noise at the door and hurriedly walked over to check out what was happening.
All they could see when they arrived at the scene were sharp rocky spikes emerging out from the ground and piercing into the bodies of the four bandits without any interference.
"W-What-!?"
'Alright! This looks enough.'
After creating a hole large enough for the two of them to escape from the ceiling of the prison, Felix swam back to the ground and extended both of his hands out from the earth.
While the rest of his body remained submerged in the ground, his hands that were out caught Eric by the clothes and pulled him upwards when Felix swam back towards the ceiling.
Using the hole he had made in the ceiling, he extracted himself and Eric from the prison room, emerging onto the surface land.
"Haa finally out..."
Taking a deep breath, Felix stretched his body in exhaustion from all the fighting and glanced around at his surroundings.
"As I calculated, the prison was situated beneath an empty land.", he smiled as rescuing Eric openly from the building would have put him in a dangerous position.
'Sigh even though I want to steal the bandit's treasures, I guess there's no time for that now....'
He had come across a secured room while he was swimming beneath the building searching for Eric and had decided to come back and steal some treasure from there, but he couldn't put his friends at risk for some material wealth, so he rejected that idea.
'Whatever.....it's not like only the bandits have treasures.', he grinned evilly remembering the ones sitting above these bandits.
Carrying Eric on his back, Felix escaped from that place and rushed back towards the inn to find the other two of his teammates.
But before he ran away, he sneaked back to the backyard of the building and left behind a surprise for the bandits, and then dashed away before the they could chase after them four of them.
Luckily for the boys, the Rank 2 bandit was selfish and had not yet informed his leader of their arrival in the town, so except for the mess the boys had caused, there would be no evidence of their presence here.
Finding his way back to the inn proved to be a lot difficult for Felix, but he eventually reached there after using a dozen flashbacks on the nearby objects.
Outside the inn's building, Roven was anxiously walking around in circles beside their carriage, and when he saw that Felix had arrived, he quickly checked upon the both of them and sighed in relief when he saw that they didn't have any injuries.
"Thank god you both are fine, I was so worried you wouldn't be able to escape from there.", he smiled.
"Roven, we have to hurry and leave the town now. There's no guarantee when the bandits may come looking for us."
Felix nodded at him and warned as he placed Eric on their carriage beside Steve who was already resting unconscious there.
"You're right, I've already informed the inn's boss about the situation and he has given me another letter to deliver to the guild. We'll be officially discontinuing this mission and returning back to the guild now."
Roven turned serious and jumped onto the carriage, tending to the horses before giving them a whipping.
"Neighh.."
Felix also climbed onto the carriage from the behind as Roven gave the horses the order to move.
Their carriage left the inn's conpound, and moved its way to the gate of the town where they had entered from.
The eery and silent town remained as it was as the four boys failed their mission of saving it from the bandits.
When the carriage reached the gates, the two of them saw that it was closed and the guard was standing before it.
Felix moved forward inside the carriage and raised his hands outwards before using his skill.
'Earth Spikes!'
The spikes emerged out from the ground and broke apart the gates, including stabbing into the cunning guard and throwing him away.
Their carriage then easily escaped out from Wuller Town, moving at a quick speed back to Edenmont City.
