31 Masked Vigilante (2/2)
____
After the tournament, Guren and Tianli both left to go on journeys to the Sect's dismay. Not only was the Sword Saintess gone but also 2 Sword Sages. Zhuye and Hexiu were still recovering along with the Sword Saint who also fought Guren. Tianli was tasked to investigate the insignia left by the two intruders while he would go hone his skills through battles. He would have asked the others to help instead of Tianli as he kind of wanted to explore but the others were busy reforming their realm that had been defiled by the Diabolic One and were not that familiar with this world. He then a.s.sumed the ident.i.ty of a vicious vigilante to get more points.
”Men, that b.i.t.c.h looks quite nice! Take her before the others do!”
”Hah! That's what you get for not paying protection fees!”
”We already paid for 2 years”, the female complained. She was furious as she knew that they should never have trusted bandits to keep their word but her husband just had to insist. Now, look where he had ended up. Dead and fed to dogs.
”You paid the previous leader. We have a new leader now”, one of the lackeys exclaimed before letting the bandit leader through. The rugged-looking bandit leader then went up to her and lifted her chin. He then ogled her thoroughly and stated, ”She will be good compensation. Count her as the protection fee”
Before he could return, he saw somebody else occupying his horse.
”Which a.s.shole took my horse!?”
Guren turned and stared at the indignant bandit leader for a moment before sneering, ”The one collecting protection fees. Only heads count as payment”
The female watched in awe as her surroundings became seeped with the color of red due to one man's actions.
Many people also recounted similar stories where they were at a dead end and about to be wronged by wicked people. Then an incredible being apparated out of nowhere and dyed the world in crimson.

A previously unfortunate couple stated, ”The man wore a peculiar mask and killed without even lifting a finger”
A merchant then stated, ”He also wore a mask but he never unsheathed his sword”
A Swordwielder praised him incessantly, ”I wonder if he is accepting disciples”
They were then interrupted by a soldier who was drinking away his sorrows.
”I hope not. He wiped out an entire army by himself”
”...Are you sure we are talking about the same person?”, the merchant asked as he was sure his savior was extremely righteous.
”Yeah, he also had a weird mask and this really scary sword. He had 2 swords sheathed right?”

As Guren's exploits were told throughout the land, he was interacting with a forest nymph.
”Please forgive me, great one”
”Why should I?”, Guren stated in a disgusted tone. So nymphs were just short for nymphomaniacs... I'm beginning to question the origin of tree sap and morning dew.
”I-I can accept a request”
”Then do you know where I can find more swords?”, Guren said. To hide the Steel Slayer which allowed people to identify him, he had been picking up and using the weapons of bandits, merchants, and raiders. Out of all of them, the Steel Slayer was the only decent one and he could not use Dark Revelation as it was too ethereal to use when incognito.
”H-how about the Kingdom of Smiths?”
”You can take me there?”
The forest nymph nodded emphatically. The nymph then led Guren to a hollowed tree. To his surprise, the trunk shone radiantly and then felt the floor disappear.
They have teleportation?!
He then fell into a shallow lake and saw the silhouette of a female.
f.u.c.k! A cliche, Atlas thought.
