Record of a Thousand Lives

The Cross Bandits.

Like most bandits, they were no different.

Plunder and murder, theft and rape.

They were criminals who lived in the shadows of the mountains, encompassing all their crimes.

Among many and many bandits, these were particularly bad.

They were vicious enough to gather in the remote mountains, so there were some who killed some people, basically, and some who killed my family because of the legacy.

A large man enters the tent covered in buffalo hide.

“Sir, good news. ”

Arkan, the leader of the Cross Bandits, gives you a grim look.

He was the biggest and most grumpy thief in the Bandits.

The Arkan puts the luxury drink he was about to drink on the table and faces the bandits.

“What is it? Acorn. ”

“A scout in the mountains saw two women. ”

“A woman? In these remote mountains? ”

“You, too. Why, because of the bandits last time, didn't the Siniland Trade Route get shut down? That's why they often come across unintended kites. ”

“Where did you find it? ”

“In the lower lung. It used to be a black bear colony, but they all took naps, so they're fine. ”

“So are the girls pretty? ”

“It's so far away, I couldn't see it. ”

“Well, it doesn't matter if it's a girl. ”

“Of course.”

“It was good that the bottom was empty these days. ”

The Arkan grabs a bundle of swords, closes the bottle cap, and ties it to his waist.

They came out of the tent.

Outside, there were bandits who lit fires and drank alcohol or gambled.

The man called Acorn walked beside his boss with a excited look on his face.

“It's been a while since I've seen anything but smelly men. We lost our revenue when we lost our trade routes. Heheh. I want to taste it soon. ”

The Karl Cross Bandits were a large group.

Thieves and navies were different from bandits when it came to poverty.

If the bandits usually turn on the Merchant Wagon or the Merchant Guild, they rob the town or the Merchant Guild itself.

On a per capita basis, it was almost 300.

They were like a small army of murderers, robbers, and thieves.

There were more criminals who made it easier than catching rats, and they slashed their swords lighter than forks.

In addition, there are those who steal and use rare weapons, some who learn magic language and use it for crime.

Their crime figures were also at least 30.

The investigators could never underestimate them.

Their home was the tallest hill in the mountains.

Above the hill, you can see the bank holding the lake.

“I hope you've tied the place up tight again today. ”

“You, too. What are you so worried about? Don't worry, we tied the kids up tight and set up a surveillance. ”

“The empire is our weapon, but it can be poisoned. ”

“Who knows? ”

Acorn grumbles.

It was an embassy that had been set up for intrusion by investigators or Imperial forces.

When the train crashed, it caused a massive landslide and wiped out the surroundings.

“It's been a long time since we rooted in the mountains, by the way. ”

“That's right. Isn't it time to move? We don't even have any trade routes, so we don't like it here anymore. ”

The Arkan strokes his dark-grown beard.

“Let's go to the capital next time. ”

“Huh? Capital? Can we, like us, survive the eye of an investigator? ”

Akron raises questions, but Arkan shakes his head.

“There is a Black Horn Clan. ”

“Oh, is it a popular place these days? ”

“I heard he recently held hands with a large merchant guild and was promoted to drug trafficking. ”

The acorn scratches the crown, which has not been washed for long.

“I don't like it there. I'll admit, I'm powerful, I'm branched out, and I'm very good at my job. But you said the captain was a traveler. ”

“Is it because you're a traveler? ”

“Not that it's a problem, but it's a little awkward. ”

Acorn drops the dirt from the blade.

“I hate the Travelers. There are people who appear out of nowhere and want to treat us like we're some kind of puppeteer, and there are people who are crazy looking for monsters. They seem anxious to live because they're not very busy. ”

“That, too. ”

The Arkan nods softly.

He was cruel and violent, but at the same time a ruthless leader.

His leadership was based on the survivors of the Karl Cross bandits who avoided the eyes of the investigator.

Acorn adds.

“Well, that doesn't mean I'm particularly dissatisfied with the Black Hawk Clan. We're running out of food and liquor. The mountains are safer than anything, but I'm so bored because I don't have to kill people and see women. ”

“Agreed. Lots of work to do in the capital. ”

Reaching the center of the residence, Arkan cries out loudly.

“Gather round! ”

The rowdy bandits stood up and gathered in front of the arena.

On their cheeks were all cross-shaped scars.

It wasn't a battle wound, but a scar from a shortsword that was inflicted by the Karl Cross Bandits.

Arkan picks up his backpack and says,

“I'm going after the bitch. Hands where I can see them. ”

Almost all the bandits raise their hands together.

Arkan selected about 10 volunteers.

Some bandits have become sadistic hobbyists who kill women during their abductions because there are so many rough ones.

Those guys had to be picked first.

Those who were not elected returned to their positions with a look of regret.

It was when I went down the mountain to form a group.

“Shhh!"

You hear a faint scream.

It was heard from their dwelling place.

It was when the bandits, including Arkan and Acorn, made a curious look.

Red blood flows down the boulder.

Acorn disappears and says:

“Was there a red spring in the world? ”

“Not that I know of. ”

“So some pompous bastard ambushed our place. ”

I'd be embarrassed if an ally was killed, but none of them did.

They were not as compassionate in the first place.

The Arkan grips the broad blade firmly.

“I'm going to need a cross-shaped scar on my face. ”

* * *

Kang Yoon-soo entered the stables' stronghold and saw the bandits gambling dice around the unavailable area.

He breaks the back of the nearest man's head.

The bandits fall in front of them without screaming.

The other bandits stared blankly at Kang Yoon-soo without lowering their cards.

Before anyone could grab a weapon, Kang Yunsoo's grip quickly grabs the lightning storm staff.

“Epileptic discharge.”

Phage job -!

Manga, gathered on the staff, explodes and scatters a blazing thunderbolt.

The 20 bandits around him almost burned up.

After hearing a strange rupture, the other bandits grip their weapons with a ferocious look.

“Who are you? ”

Kang Yoon-soo did not answer.

Bandits are about 300 in size.

Kang Yoon-soo alone was almost impossible to deal with.

You can fight the undead with them, but this reduces your EXP gains.

Moreover, I did not know the course of the attack because I had never dealt with them alone.

However, Kang Yoon-soo recalled his tenth life when he was a murderer.

He once single-handedly killed a large army.

Bandits rush in with their weapons drawn.

In fact, it was dozens of people who ran because 300 people could not aim for Kang Yoon-soo in all of the narrow terrain.

Kang Yoon-soo dodged the leading bandit's blade and then stabbed him in the face.

His Longsword fractures the Bandit's skull.

Kang Yoon-soo immediately swung his staff to the left to block the approaching window blade.

Then five weapons entered his back at the same time.

“Epileptic discharge.”

Phage job -!

The thunder surges and damages the area.

However, the swift bandits quickly retreated and avoided the powerful currents.

Epilepsy was a skill that could be used 4 times a day.

I already used it twice, so I didn't have enough time.

A bandit slaughtered me.

“I don't know where he came from, but do you think you're the only one who can do magic? ”

The bandit holds a long staff.

The bandits shouted, pointing to Kang Yoon-soo.

“Fireworks reverse!”

A blaze flew towards Kang Yoon-soo.

Kang Yoon-soo lowered his body, avoiding the fire and swinging his sword.

You stab a nearby bandit in the back of the neck in succession, and then the bandit pierces through his mouth.

An arrow shot by a bandit grabs Kang Yoon-soo's ear.

A stream of blood flows down with burning pain.

However, Kang Yoon-soo continuously wielded his sword without fainting.

Five bandits were slain by Kang Yun-soo's sword.

In a short amount of time, 44 felons were killed.

Veteran assassins have made remarkable achievements.

Creates a new skill, Carnage Smoke.

[Carnage Smoke]

Skill Level-LV1 (00.00%)

Technology designed solely to kill life. Increases power against a large number of solo enemies, but a few individuals have less attack power.

I've killed so many people, even Hidden skills.

Carnage Smoke.

It was an individual's skill to deal with many.

Killing Smoke is a technique that was also used frequently during the life predatory period.

It was the best skill in the current situation.

Kang Yoon-soo activated a new skill.

“Homicide.”

Kang Yoon-soo's blade moved quickly.

It looked unbalanced at first glance, but it was an orderly movement.

He slashes the face of the seven bandits.

The skill level of the Carnage Smoke has increased.

When you have a murder, you hit the ground quite often.

The skill level of the Carnage Smoke has increased.

Blade moves more agile when targeting multiple enemies.

“Shhh!"

“Dammit -!”

Kang Yoon-soo killed over 120 people in an instant.

No matter how many bandits you kill, they keep coming back and forth.

Kang Yoon-soo scattered the lightning with a lightning storm staff and stabbed the knife, but he was unable to overcome the aggression of the bandits.

The moment I smashed the eyes of a bandit, an elongated spear pierced through the corpse's abdomen and stabbed Yunsu Kang.

Phew!

Blood erupted around Kang Yoon-soo's ship.

The bandits grin, piercing the corpses of their allies.

However, Kang Yoon-soo's sword pierced his mouth.

“Ugh!"

“Bioresorption.”

"You absorbed a small amount of bandit Liqueur's health.

Receive a small inheritance of the traits of Bandit Classes to reduce your chances of being discovered during Looting for 2 hours.

A small amount of health has been restored, but the pain remains.

At best, the lacerations on the abdomen healed slightly and stopped bleeding.

A stalk of cold sweat flowed over Kang Yoon-soo's forehead.

He regained his mind.

Fierce.

More desperately.

* * *

The Arkans and the bandits stop going down and climb back up the ridge.

I knew the geography, so it didn't take me long to get to my place.

However, the screams of the bandits erupted in the process.

“Ahhhh!"

“Sa, save me-! ”

Then the bandits realized something was wrong.

You hear too many screams from the Bandits at home than you expected.

Even criminals are thick skulls.

They wouldn't be so pleasant.

Acorn chews his lips.

“Dammit, isn't this the Imperial Army? ”

“I don't know. I have to go. ”

They hurried back to their homes.

At last, when all the way up the mountain path, their dwellings were filled with the smell of blood.

You find yourself surrounded by thunderstruck corpses and claws full of bandits.

Three hundred bandits were killed.

There was only one person alive.

A man soaked in blood sits in the center of his residence.

Blood drops were clearly young on short black hair, and his face was cold and parched like a statue.

The bandits felt fearful for a moment.

Even though they were accustomed to murder, they couldn't face it without killing people.

There was no change in his expression, as if he had killed something that was not human.

But most of all, there's only one person who's afraid.

One man destroyed the Cross Bandits.

Acorn asked with a trembling voice.

“Who are you? ”

“Liquor.”

“What?"

Kang Yoon-soo pointed to the Arkan waist dance.

A bottle of fine wine hangs over it that has never been drunk.

He said in a dry tone.

“Give me the drink. ”
