Chapter 330 - Invading the Great Swift Bandits' Hideout
Chapter 330 - Invading the Great Swift Bandits' Hideout
Dense mana coated the blade of the vajra sword. It glows dimly as Souta slowly pulled it out of its sheath.
The bandits tried to move their body but Souta's mana pressed down on their body. It brought heavy pressure on them and it scared them.
"W-What is this...?!"
"N-No!!"
The people who were watching this scene also felt pressure from Souta's enormous amount of mana.
"I already planned to sit down and do nothing but you people still decided to provoke me," Souta said in a cold tone.
He then swung his sword. It looked like it was slow but the bandits couldn't avoid this slash.
Swoosh!
In an instant, the head of the bandits flew in the air spewing blood all over the place.
Tans and Jocklen opened their mouth widely at the scene. Some of the blood splattered on their cheeks.
The audience was stunned. They couldn't believe what they just saw. A single slash of sword killed a group of D-rank bandits.
After a few moments, the bodies of the bandits fell down on the floor with a loud "thud" sound.
Souta placed back the vajra sword in its sheath. These third-rates D-rank couldn't challenge him. The D-rank in Ladros City was still stronger than these people who didn't receive proper training.
He glanced at Tans and Jocklen before he asked, "I'm sure that you did some research. So I'm going to ask where's the base of the Great Swift Bandit in this city?"
"Block 22, Building A, Street 12 of Cloud District." Tans answered him absentmindedly. He still couldn't get over by what Souta did.
"I see..." Souta nodded and he walked out of the pub after tossing a platinum coin at the owner.
Lynn quietly followed him as she didn't dare to look at the corpses of the bandits.
Everyone returned to their senses after Souta and Lynn left the pub. A commotion exploded as they talked about Souta and the Great Swift Bandits.
"That man is too strong!!"
"He easily killed all the bandits!!"
"I'm sure that man will go to the base of the Great Swift Bandits!!"
"It will be a great scene to watch!! A lone man will fight a first-grade group of the Cloud City!!"
"That man will certainly die! The leader of the Great Swift Bandits isn't someone to be underestimated!"
A first-grade group in this city means that they have more than a hundred people. The name of the group was quite famous in this city as the leader of the group was a powerful individual that possessed the power of a B-rank.
Tans glanced at Jocklen with a shocked expression. "That man, Jocklen..."
"There's no doubt about it. That man is a B-rank powerhouse. Even a high-level C-rank couldn't bring that much pressure. Also, the girl is surprisingly powerful too. Much stronger than the two of us." Jocklen said in a serious tone.
...
Souta and Lynn were standing in front of the address that Tans gave to him. He was sure that this was the base of the famed Great Swift Bandits.
Jocklen and Tans came here to get their revenge on the Great Swift Bandits so they must've done their investigation. He also didn't need to know where's the Cloud District.
The bandits quickly came to the pub so their base must be close. In other words, this place was the Cloud District. With further investigation, all the answers led him to this place.
"We're really going to do it, Souta?" Lumilia asked him with a worried expression.
"Yes, I thought that you're angry at them." Souta then realized that's just how Lynn is. She was kind so he should've expected this reaction.
He shrugged his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Just don't think about it. Leave everything to me."
"O-Okay." Lynn nodded at him.
Souta stepped forward as he lifted his feet and kicked the metal gate of the building.
Bang!
The metal gate was blown away as it flew inside the building.
It gathered the attention of all the people in the surrounding.
Souta and Lynn stepped forward and entered the building. Inside it, a lot of people were looking at them with widely opened eyes.
After a few moments, the bandits shouted at them.
"Who are you, people?!"
"You dare to barge in the base of the Great Swift Bandits!!"
"Do you know what it means to make us your enemies?!"
The bandits stood up and pulled out their weapons.
"Tsk! So noisy..." Souta frowned as he said while lifting his left hand. His tattoo shone in crimson light as an image of a fierce and angry bear materialized above his tattoo.
"Come and let them have a taste fear, Yuko!"
His tattoo glows brightly as it illuminated the entire floor.
The bandits couldn't help but covered their eyes with their hands.
"What's happening?!"
"I don't know!!"
"Is he going to attack us?!"
After a few seconds, the light disappeared and a bear with red color fur was beside Souta.
"Yuko, I'll leave them to you..." Souta said while patting Yuko's body. He then glanced at Lynn and said, "I'll go upstairs. I'm sure that you've already sensed that a strong person is residing on the top floor of the building."
"Y-Yes... I'm going to stay here." Lynn remembered something and added, "I'm going to support Yuko here."
"Hahaha, it's overkill if you support her. She can already handle all these people. Well, if you want to make the fight faster then do it your way." Souta smiled at her. He looked up as his expression turned serious.
He slightly bent his knees and launched himself on the top floor. The floor of each floor couldn't stop Souta at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lynn sighed as she glanced upward. She then shook her head and focused her attention on Yuko. She didn't have to worry about Souta. She could sense that Souta's mana was several times larger than the person on the top floor.
Roar!!
Yuko roared as she charged at the bandits. She activated the [Cat's Speed] and [Triple Muscle Strengthening]. She could use Souta's skill since he bestowed her some of his skills.
...
Souta was on the top floor of the building. This building was ten storey so it was quite high.
In front of him was a huge man with a thick beard and mustache. The man was sitting on a chair with his back facing Souta.
'I thought that your plan is to stay low-profile.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.
'Yeah but I changed my mind. I will not get anything by staying at the sideline. I need to gather the attention of the upper echelons of this city. That way I can meet the people who had information.' Souta replied to her.
The man turned around and looked at Souta with a serious expression. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you intruding the base of the Great Swift Bandits?"
"Well, I found it unpleasant every time I hear the name of your group. Nothing more, nothing less." Souta replied nonchalantly as he walked towards the window.
"That's your reason for barging inside my base...?" The man frowned as he found Souta's reason for barging inside ridiculous. He didn't believe it at all so he asked, "Tell me, who ordered you to disturb me? If you tell me their names then I will not do anything to you."
Souta looked down and saw a lot of people gathering at the entrance of the building. "This is not a show..." He muttered as he activated the [Pet Resonance] skill.
'Yuko, go all out and destroy everything.' He told her through their connection.
After a few seconds, a loud explosion occurred on the first floor. The whole building trembled and it slowly tilts over.
Boom!
The leader of the Great Swift Bandits was shocked at this. "Y-You!! You have comrades below and your destroying my building!! I will not forgive you!!"
His energy exploded out of his body as he bent his knees. The floor cracked as he launched himself at Souta.
Swoosh!
He opened his palm as he wanted to grab Souta's face.
"Ehe~" Souta smirked as the leader's palm was just an inch away from his face.
[Shadow Step]! [Cat's Speed]! [Agility Boost]!
His speed increased by several times in an instant. Souta moved his head to the side and avoided the hand of the leader.
He examined the equipment of the leader. He looked closely and was disappointed by what he found. The leader's equipment was just a high-quality blue-grade equipment.
Boom!
The window and the floor in Souta's previous position exploded because of the leader's attack.
"Your group is going to become a sacrifice for my plan. Those people will hear my name after I annihilated your group..." Souta said as he clenched his fist. After concentrating his mana on his fist, he delivered a blow to the leader's side.
Bang!
