Legend

Ray and Marina, aboard Seto, leave the village lightly.

Rather than the main gate... there are guards at the regular entrance and exit, but you don't have to go through that kind of place like the bandits who broke into the village.

Even with Ray and Marina on board, it's not hard to jump over the wooden planks that cover the village with Set's leaping power.

It was possible because this area is a set with very high physical abilities, and it was not that easy to do normally.

The village is late at night, and most people are already asleep, and there is no house with lights.

If this is a little bigger village or town, maybe some of them are still awake.

Only in such a small village, Ray and the others succeed in leaving the village unnoticed.

A few minutes after I left the village, I could see where I was going.

That's right.

That's what Marina, lying on Set's back behind Ray, says as she hugs Ray's back.

The marina also has a good night vision, so it's quick to find a forest far away.

"Yeah. Looks like the guards... aren't there, though."

Even though it's small, it's a bandit's asshole.

Not to mention that I've sent one of my bandits to the village as a reconnaissance, so it's not strange that there's only one guard to deal with them as soon as they find out.

Or, if you were planning to attack the village as soon as the scout man comes back, it wouldn't be strange if you were preparing to attack.

Even so, there were no guards anywhere in the forest that gradually approached.

That seems doubtful to Ray.

"I don't think it's strange that there's at least one guard."

It's possible that you're hiding so well that you can't see through me, Ray, or Set.

"I don't think so."

Ray immediately denied Marina's opinion.

I don't think the little bandits are that good.

If the scouts who came to the village were good, Ray might have felt differently.

However, the bandits who came to the village, of course, had the skill to be scouts, but as fighters, they could only be described as amateurs.

More than sending such a man as a scout, it was unlikely that the bandits were actually the elite few.

It's not absolutely impossible, but you don't have to think about it as a possibility.

"Probably because the village is small, I don't think we'll ever find ourselves." Or do you think you can deal with it however you find it? "

"Then there's no problem." That kind of bandit can only be defeated quickly.... if you're an adventurer of the Gilm, you won't have much chance to crush the bandits. "

Marina murmured like that when she remembered when she was a guild master.

The voice that came from behind reminded Ray of his previous rank-up exams.

I remember you crushed a bandit in a rank-up test?

"At that time, the bandits weren't near Gilm, were they?" No, sometimes there are bandits around Gilm..... "

So it was a marina that cut the words, but Ray could easily understand the continuation of the words.

Some bandits overestimate their strength and come to the area around Gilm.

However, I suspected that such people would be attacked by high-ranking monsters and destroyed.

At first, you may not encounter high ranked monsters by chance, but if you still camp without entering the Gilm at the edge, you will encounter high ranked monsters inevitably.

If that happens, they'll all be wiped out.

If this is truly a strong bandit, we may be able to operate around Gilm.

But then, of course, Gilm's adventurers would be asked to crusade.

The bandits might be able to win against the monsters, but if they encountered an adventurer, it was difficult for them to survive.

In general, it's difficult for bandits to survive and continue their activities around Gilm unless they have some special skill or magic item.

"If we leave the Gilm bandit situation here, we will first defeat the bandits in the forest." Marina needs backup.... I don't think it's that much of an opponent. "

From Ray's point of view, the bandits to attack from now on are by no means strong.

Ray, a rank-A adventurer with a different name, and Set, a Griffon, attacked.

Rather than supporting Marina, either Ray or Set will be able to deal with it.

Ray and Set weren't there, and the backup marina alone was enough to defeat the bandits.

Just by dealing with such people, Ray thinks that Marina's cover is excessive, but if she doesn't, why did she come here?

... as for the marina, it was like having a date with Ray at night.

"Well then, let's get this over with." I want to leave the village early tomorrow. "

Nodding to Marina's words, Ray opened his mouth while stroking Set.

Set doesn't have to work so hard, but try to keep the bandits out of the woods.

Grrrr!

Leaving Ray to his word, Set throated.

So Ray and the others got closer to the forest.....

Are there any guards there?

I knew from a distance that there were no guards.

I knew it, but I was still thinking of the possibility that...

However, when I approached the forest, I was surprised that there were really no guards, and I was shocked and even laughed.

Even though the bandits are the ones who will attack others and be attacked by adventurers, they are not alert at all.

Ray stepped out of Set's back and into the woods as he laughed seizureally.

Marina was always ready to use spirit magic outside the forest, and Set entered the forest from a different direction than Rey.

Normally, Ray fights his enemies with a Death Size and Dusk Spear.

However, this time I was convinced that I wasn't that much of an opponent, so I used my bare hands.

With Ray's prowess, it won't be difficult to use a long weapon in the woods.

In the worst case scenario, you can attack the surrounding trees while cutting them with a death size or dusk spear.

However, this forest is a children's playground for the village, and a place to get food and medicinal herbs such as wild vegetables, tree fruits, and fruits.

The size of the forest does not mean that there is plenty of food, but this forest is still a necessary place for the village.

That's why Ray wanted to avoid imitating the trees in this forest in vain.

Look for the bandits as they move through the trees.

The forest was small, and Ray's five senses were sharp enough, if not set.

Less than a few minutes after entering the woods, he hears his voice, the voice of the marina, and the voice of those other than Set.

What I heard was a laugh.

(Laughing?... hey, no way...)

With a subtle unpleasant feeling, as I proceeded towards the direction where I could hear my voice... there were five men playing liquor.

You're kidding.

It was the miscellaneous fish that came to scout us.

There is not a single sentinel in the forest that I use as a guard.

On top of that, the bandits were doing booze.

For the bandits, why are you so unmotivated?

It's not strange that Ray has such questions.

Even though I was shocked by the bandits in the booze, I still couldn't get out of here.

Since the bandits were ahead of me, I had no choice but to defeat them here.

(That said, if you're not so vigilant, I don't know how to kill you. But even if we capture them, we'll end up killing them.... Actually, these guys aren't bandits, are they?)

Looking at the opponent with a pile of liquor without even being vigilant around them...... I really wondered if they were not bandits, but rather adventurers or merchants.

Knowing that it was close to escaping from reality, I thought so, but I walked in anticipation of a contingency.

In winter, most of the trees are withered, but there are some bushes that are still growing.

While making a sound of withered trees, Ray continued, but the men were obsessed with the booze, so they didn't notice Ray's presence at all.

Isn't this really a bandit?

Ray thought so, but when he saw the axe on the side of the men in the booze, he decided that it was a bandit.

Even though it was a short-circuit judgment to be a bandit because I had an axe, given the situation... there was also the axe that the man who came to the village to scout for it, so I thought it was definitely a bandit.

Can I have a minute?

Even though he was very close to the place where he was drinking, the men did not notice him at all, so Ray called out reluctantly.

"What the fuck, man?"

One of the men in the booze returned a threatening voice to Ray as he approached.

If you were a man, you'd be dissatisfied with Ray who interrupted the booze.

While staring at Ray, he reached for an axe nearby.

While watching the movement, Ray didn't notice anything in particular... and opened his mouth without noticing anything at all.

I just wanted to ask you a few questions.

"... who the hell are you?"

The man said while exuding some vigilance toward Ray, who didn't look particularly nervous when he looked at himself with an axe in his hand.

In the words of such a man, the other four also reached for their axes.

"It's an adventurer who passes by." So, are you bandits? "

Adventurer?

The word "adventurer" increased the alertness of the men.

If I was a bandit, I'd be wary of adventurers.

However, Ray's appearance never seemed strong enough.

... if the bandits could see through the strength of their opponents, they could see how powerful Ray was.

However, Ray is not very strong without his eyes to see through such strength.

Still, Ray was an adventurer, so it was probably because he was a bandit who was somewhat wary.

"Oh, an adventurer." So? I've answered your questions. Next time, can you answer my question? "

As he asked Ray again, the men stood up, waking him up.

(Ah, this is no good.)

Ray anticipates the situation of the men.

As if to support their predictions, the men approached Ray... and swung their axes at once.

We're bandits!

An axe swung down with the words.

However, despite the number of five people, they did not imitate such things as surrounding Ray.

As a result, only three people were able to attack Ray properly.

Ray avoids the blow by jumping backwards.

None of the swung axes are quick.

If this is the right person, I would have fired a faster blow.

Simply wielding his skill, the axe can't produce that much power or velocity.

Seeing that the man's attack had passed in front of him, Ray immediately kicked the ground and walked forward, diving into the nostrils of the nearest of the axe-wielding men and waving his fists.

Whether it was a pile of liquor or a pile of liquor, the bandits were wearing fur clothes, not armor.

It's not armor, it's just clothes.

With such clothes, Ray could not bear the blow, and the man who was beaten with his heart spit blood out of his mouth and fell to the ground.

Ray moves on to the next move before the other four understand that their people are dead.

He kicks at the neck of one of the bandits, who is surprised and doesn't understand what happened.

The blow easily broke the neck bone, and then started Nebula's pupils on her waist with her right hand, throwing a throw toward one of the other three.

Giggle!

The man screamed reflexively as he pierced his eyeballs.

The damage itself wasn't a fatal wound, but the bandits who weren't ready for it took damage like they were being pierced through the eyeballs. You can't imitate fighting properly anymore.

(There are only two left....... That's more than enough room.)

While thinking like that, Ray's body never stopped moving.

I jumped lightly kicking the ground and kicked the head of one of the other two who could not understand what had happened to the sight of their companions being knocked down one after the other.

The crushed feel of the skull, transmitted through Sleipnir's shoes.

And now that he was the last one, it must have been decided that Ray wasn't the last person on the street.

even if you abandon the axe and try to escape in a flash.....

"Wow!"

The spirits of the marina tangled in the soil and fell on the spot.

Then Set appeared to keep the man from escaping... and the blow to his forefoot took the man's life.
