Chapter 170: Bombs
Standing before the bandit group was a man that was almost 7 feet tall. Even the leader of the bandits felt so small upon looking at him. Together with him were fourteen other people.
“You, bastard!” The bandit leader gnashed his teeth. These people were blocking their path after throwing boulders on them. He looked above, but he could not spot any other enemies. He wondered what kind of spell they were using that caused those boulders to fall at the right time that they passed by.
The bandit leader returned his eyes to the front and noticed that few enemies were blocking their path. The bandit leader laughed inwardly. ‘These people are asking for death. What a mere 15 people can do against our number. At the moment, about 100+ of my men are capable of fighting. Hehe!’ The bandit leader thought. Then he opened his mouth.
“Kill them!” The bandit leader immediately ordered his people to attack those people ahead of them.
The bandits and beasts swaggered towards their enemies upon hearing their leader’s order. A moment later, they charged forward in haste which caused the ground to vibrate from their stomping.
Yet the bandit lord noticed something unbelievable from those people. It was strange that even after seeing the charging numerous beasts and bandits racing towards those enemies, those 15 people remained on their feet without showing a change in their emotions!
Most humans would have a subtle change on their faces upon seeing the disadvantage in number no matter how overconfident they were in their power. But these people, the bandit boss, could not see any changes in their expression! It seemed like these people were not human at all.
.....
Alas, after a few seconds, when the charging group finally crossed the middle, the leader noticed a change on those people’s faces, but. It wasn’t a change that he expected! All of them were grinning instead of frowning!?!
The bandit leader felt a foreboding feeling. “Wai-!” He was about to call back his men, but it was too late.
BOOOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion erupted that shook the area. The power of the explosion caused the bandit leader to back step and used his arms to cover his face.
“Wha-!”
“Aaarrrggh!”
“Gwaaarrr!”
A tree-shaped smoke took a form. It was followed by pained cries from the bandits and beasts. That one explosion was the signal, it was followed by another. Until some random explosions exploded everywhere.
It caused panic to the bandits. They couldn’t understand. Why did the ground explode? Those people in front of them, none of them were moving. No one among them was casting a spell. So, how come?
Every second, many of his men bloomed into pieces of flesh together with the beast they mounted. The area was pouring with blood, both from the bandits and the beasts, mixed and turned the whole area very unsightly.
The pungent smell was carried by the smoke towards their noses. Everyone was twitching their noses and face. Even the bandit leader who was used to smelling rotten blood and flesh could not help but twitch a little. It was human nature, after all. No matter how used one was to it.
Yet, he was surprised once again when those fifteen people had no reaction. Regardless, the bandit leader was exploding with anger. He must kill them. No, he would definitely kill them no matter what happened.
He sneered at the tall person who was at the center of the fifteen people. The person was crossing his arms across his broad torso. Although he was tall, his body wasn’t so large. Perhaps the bandit leader was much larger than him.
Nonetheless, when the explosion had finally calmed, only the wailing of agony from his men remained. The bandit leader stepped forward while unstrapping the giant ax that was fastened behind him.
Without a warning, he swung it down, directly decapitating the wailing bandit that already lost half of his body.
There was no use healing that person, the leader ended his suffering. It was the only choice he could come up with.
Well, even though he ended his men, there was no sign of pity on his face. They were criminals after all. Killing was their profession.
In front of him, the fire caused by the explosion already was currently devouring his men. The cries and wail were all over the place. But soon it slowly died, until only stillness remained.
He was in the dark about what kind of wizardry these people did. However, there was only death awaiting them.
About half of his men died just now. It was a painful loss. He wasn’t lamenting the loss of his men; he feared the punishment that the bandit lord would bestow him afterward. The leader was staring in front of him with unblinking, cold eyes. He strengthened his grip on the ax handle.
Plok!
Suddenly, a droplet of rain fell to the ground. Then a moment later, more and more droplets came pouring, immediately dissipating the scattered fires.
Both sides were looking at each other. Who knows what each of them was thinking. But it was apparent that both sides were exuding a killing aura towards each other.
After a snake-like streak of lightning, “ATTAAAACK!!!”
The bandit leader shouted. Although he lost many of his men, their number was still more than the enemy.
Water from the rain splattered everywhere when their angry feet forcefully stomped the ground.
Seeing the angry opponents coming after them, the tall man at the center, who was Uno, from one of Eman’s fifteen captains, raised his hand.
Uno had a grin on his mouth. These people had no idea about those bombs. His lord was truly a being above everyone.
After throwing away the switch, they heard an incantation. It was coming from behind them. There, a young girl wearing a dress came out from the fog. The next moment, Uno and the others were enveloped by magical energies.
“Thank you, Little Sky,” said Uno.
The bandit leader narrowed his eyes. Then he saw the fifteen people rushing towards them. He was quite surprised that none of them escaped even though they were clearly at the disadvantage in number.
