24 A Minor Skirmish (1/2)
The Cat-folk Warrior could only widen his slit yellow eyes upon witnessing five blasts of violet magical energy slamming forth violently on the backs of his four Bandit adversaries, with the added misfortune of one of them receiving two blasts instead of one.
As the Cat-folk looks to where the source of the attack is, he was able to see that an Elf of all people has lent his unexpected aid.
”Fuck!!” One of the Bandits screamed in rage at the sudden ambush as they all turn their backs and found an Elven Mage at a cliff above them, smirking arrogantly.
Turning their back is the greatest mistake that they ever made as the Cat-folk wasted no time in stabbing one of them in the back, blood staining the blade of his Greatsword, dealing massive critical damage due to how the blow was delivered, thus resulting in the Bandit's pixelated death.
”A little bit of advice before I send all your insignificant souls to the planes of Hellas.” The Cat-folk announced as he finally finished off the unfortunate one out of the group of brigands. ”Never show your vulnerable back on the heat of combat.”
Now down at three, the Bandits could not help but be distressed, especially by the newcomer who possesses magic in his arsenal.
Thus, the fight resumes with the Cat-folk holding out his own very well against the two Bandits while the other one attempts to draw out a crossbow from his Inventory to take the Mage down in long-range combat.
Of course, emphasis on the word ”attempt” as Gray did not spare the crossbow-wielding Bandit a moment of breathing space.
Taking advantage of the vantage point, Gray instantly casts on the Bandit, sending the magic projectile flying at high speed as the Bandit fails to react at the fast incoming attack, sending him down into the ground like the weakling he is.
Gray wastes no time as he mercilessly dispatches the unlucky Bandit with basic Arcane attacks from his staff, showcasing his continuous onslaught as the Bandit scream in utmost agony, each blast of powerful Arcane Energy being aimed all over the man's dying body on the ground before eventually succumbing to death's cruel end.
'Strange.' Gray thought darkly as he garnered his first murder of a human being in this fantasy world, now setting his gazes warily on his palm. 'The rabbits, I can probably understand, but why do I feel no qualms in killing that guy? Sure, this world may be based on an RPG but this the world that I live in, it's all too real now. He may be a Bandit, a criminal, but am I really supposed to feel this way? Is the System might be the cause of this state of tranquility that I'm currently feeling in the face of killing?'
The mere thought genuinely scares but mostly excites him altogether.
Too many questions but all unanswered.
Hopefully, it will all be cleared up in the future.
In all honesty though, Gray just wants to enjoy every opportunity that this fantasy-driven world has to offer, so he will be embracing at whatever his conscience dictates him to do since he is no longer bound by some of the constricting mindset of his original world.
Anyways, Gray decided that it's no use dwelling on that train of thought too much as he got more important matters to attend to.
”Hehe, it seems that the tides of battle have officially turned on my favor.” The Cat-folk grins, baring his sharp fangs for the Bandits to see. ”Not that this changes anything though, you pitiful rascals were doomed the moment you dare to cross me and my blade!!”
With a vigorous shout, the battlefield erupted by the bellow of the Cat-folk Warrior, causing the remaining Bandits to be demoralized by such intimidating act.
The same can't be said about Gray though as he suddenly felt empowered by the Cat-folk's amazing feat.
BUFF RECEIVED:
- Damage output is increased by 10% for Allies and decreased by 10% for Enemies. It lasts for 35 seconds.
'Wow, that's one sick move.' Gray was definitely impressed by the Cat-folk's awe-deserving action on the skirmish below. 'Looks to be a support skill in my opinion. Is he perhaps a Warrior of that nature?'
The Cat-folk proves himself to be a capable fighter of his own. Despite having to deal with two armed opponents, he's able to manage himself quite well, blocking every blow and returning every attack with intense ferocity as fit to his Beastly ancestry.
If an opening presented itself, the Warrior assumes no wasted movement, brutally striking the Bandits at where they stand with the heavy swing of his Greatsword.
The Bandits themselves are rather clumsy in their movements, evident by their lack of proper combat training. The Cat-folk however only displays himself with nothing but the vigor and discipline of an esteemed Warrior, akin to a well-trained soldier in the army.
Gray himself does not find the need anymore to assist him, seeing how proficient the Cat-folk is in handling himself in combat as the Elf opted to take a sit leisurely on his spot while merely observing the events unfolding.

The Cat-folk in a quick motion hits one of the wretched Bandits with the pommel of his Greatsword. With the said Bandit now being disoriented by the hard blow, the Cat-folk seized the chance and effortlessly decapitated the man, sending him to a pixelated demise.
His beheaded corpse then forms into a crystal, just like the rest of his dead outlaw brethren.
