Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The sounds of whipping and screams mingled together, bringing a sense of satisfaction to the bandits, while those imprisoned in the cave were terrified. Each lash felt as if it were striking their hearts as well.
Two girls mingled among the detainees.
"Zul, I thought my luck was about to change, but it turns out this is just my last meal before I die." The pink-haired girl hugged her best friend Eina and cried bitterly.
Misha Flott, also a student in the same school district, but unlike the top student Eina, her grades were average. She received a very low rating in the guild's mock exam, but to everyone's surprise, she was also accepted by the guild.
I thought I was going to live a high-paying and happy life.
As a result, on their way to Orario, they were kidnapped by this group of vicious bandits.
The key point is that these bandits weren't after money, but lives. Yesterday at dusk, they watched as more than a dozen people were burned alive, claiming it was a sacrifice to the gods. They were nothing short of a group of fanatical believers.
Next, it will be their turn.
"Don't think like that, we'll survive," Eina reassured her, patting her friend's back. Her pretty face was pale, but even she herself didn't quite believe what she was saying.
She chose the high-paying job at the guild to supplement the family income for her frail and sickly mother.
Unexpectedly, he died before he could even begin his mission.
More than her own life, she was worried about the family's financial situation after her death.
Having gone two days without a decent meal, Eina's rosy lips turned pale and cracked, and a clear sign of weakness and haggardness appeared on her face.
At that moment, Eina sensed something was amiss.
Although she doesn't have the keen senses of an adventurer, the half-elf inherited her obsessive-compulsive disorder and is exceptionally sensitive to the gazes of others.
"That is?"
Eina looked in the direction of the strange sight and saw a boy staring at her. She remembered that he had just come in with the fleeing soldiers.
The boy looked at her and asked something to the weasel-faced man beside him.
The man with the pointed face and monkey-like features was considered a minor leader among the gang of bandits. He was said to be a remnant of a dark faction, and the other side was partly responsible for their capture.
To her surprise, the junior leader showed a hint of awe in front of the boy.
At that moment, the two made eye contact.
The handsome young man grinned at her, then turned away to continue talking to the other bandits.
The boy mingled among the bandits, chatting and laughing, but Eina noticed something different. The boy's eyes maintained a clear calmness throughout, unlike the bandits who were so violent and hateful.
Roy frowned as he listened to the sound of the whipping. "That's enough. Make him stop."
The "Groundhog Man" dared not refuse and quickly stepped forward. However, he did not take any forceful measures. Instead, he affectionately put his arm around the shoulders of the bandits and said, "The sacrifice is about to take place. He's going to die anyway. Let's go have a drink."
The ordinary bandits naturally had to give face to the remnant of the Rudraksha clan, a level 1 member.
"Hey bro, let's go for a drink!"
A group of people left happily, spending their days robbing caravans, and the mountain stronghold had no shortage of wine.
About an hour later, as dusk fell and the air of twilight filled the air, it seemed to stain the bandits' fierce eyes with a hint of blood, accompanied by the despair of those who had been captured.
Three ordinary-looking men emerged from the cave, their aura completely different from that of the bandits; they were all LV.2 adventurers.
No one knows their real names, they are only called by nicknames: "Black Hawk," "Night Demon," and "River Demon." They were all LV.2 members of the former Rudraksha clan, who committed many evil deeds. The guild has a bounty of 35 to 50 Fali.
Roy recognized the three men, and a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"For the great Rudraksha!"
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh—"
Three Level 2 men stood on the high platform, shouting loudly. The villainous thief who worshipped the evil god looked frantic and awe-inspiring, and let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
Immediately, someone rushed to the cave with iron bars and dragged out more than a dozen people, including Eina and her friend Michael Flott.
"She's a half-elf, what a pity. She's such a beautiful woman, and I heard she's still a virgin."
"Before burning it for Rudraksha, we should really let the brothers enjoy it."
"You've gone mad! The gods will punish you!"
Looking at the beautiful Eina, the bandits whispered among themselves. In this world, when it comes to overall looks, gods are definitely number one, and elves are number two.
The gods wouldn't even dare to dream of it; they could only harbor a sliver of evil fantasy about the elves.
The dozen or so people who were brought out were pale-faced, their eyes seemed to have lost their color, revealing a sense of despair, as they walked towards the large pit where hundreds of people had been burned to death.
Everyone's attention was focused on the ritual, and no one noticed that Roy had already headed towards the platform.
Three Level 2 remnants of the Rudraksha clan appeared. The "Goblin" was no longer of any use. Roy lowered his voice and said,
"Alright, you can go now."
Thank you!
The "Goblin" was moved to tears and quietly crept towards the back of the mountain, knowing that a massacre was about to begin!
Although they were all from the Rudraksha clan, he didn't care about their lives or deaths. To use a proverb from the East...
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
Roy glanced at the other person's back, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Did he really think he could survive?
As the other party acted as his guide, leading him through the forest for over half an hour, Roy continuously used magic, sending tiny electric currents into the other party's body.
He had already messed up the other person's electrolyte and electrical signal conduction systems.
He will suffer cardiac arrest within three hours.
That was already a dead man, not worth paying attention to. Roy shifted his gaze to the high platform, where the three LV.2 villains were the real big fish.
Roy stepped back and slipped away from the crowd.
Hiding in a corner where the dim sunlight couldn't reach, his figure blended perfectly into the shadows, suppressing his aura, and silently walked towards the high platform.
When Roy appeared on the elevated staircase, he was still thirty meters away from the remnant trio, but if he took one more step forward, he would be exposed to the sunlight.
At this moment, "Black Hawk," one of the trio, seemed to sense something. His brows furrowed, and he scanned his surroundings with a slightly puzzled and wary look.
Ride with the wind!
At that very moment, Roy activated the special effect of his Wind Chaser Boots, his legs wrapped in a whirlwind, increasing his agility attribute by 80%, instantly jumping from B-rank to SS-rank.
The change in the direction of the breeze instantly alerted the three Level 2 remnants.
However, they discovered it too late.
At a distance of thirty meters, if Roy couldn't kill an enemy with lower stats in one hit, he might as well just smash his head against a block of tofu and die.
Roy's figure shot out like a whirlwind, appearing in front of the trio, and the Half-Cut Village Sword pierced into the body of the person nicknamed "
The man's heart was filled with the "Night Demon".
