Chapter 115 Leaving the empire 5 (1/2)
”that's it you're doing better now”
”ha... ha... r-really?”
”yeah as I see it you'll be walking on your own in no time”
Mars and Varvei was currently walking through a forest following a dirt road, Mars was lending his arm to Varvei as support while they slowly walked forwards
”...but”
”no but's I know you can do this”
”okay...”
as the two of them walked Varvei gradually reached her limit so Mars picked her up again and carried her in his arms when suddenly Victoria jumped out of a nearby shadow with her horns glowing
”Mars... there's bad... people... ahead”
”bad people..? you mean bandits?”
”yes bandits... they are attacking... a carriage”
”hmm... let's go take a look, you don't mind me killing bandits do you Varvei?”
Varvei looked a little pale but still slowly shook her head
”...no I don't”
”great then let's go take a look”
Mars speed up and soon he reached the place were the bandit's where and just like Victoria said they were attacking a carriage that was guarded by what looked like mercenaries although they were on their last leg with only 2 of them left fighting back against the 20+ bandits
”...sure looks like bandits”
”aren't you going to help them?”
”well sure then let's do this, Victoria make sure none of them get away”
”okay...”
Mars put down Varvei and gave her a pat on the shoulder
”don't start crawling away this time princess”
Varvei face lit up before she turned it to the side and mumbled
”...I won't”
”good then I'll be right back”
Mars activated [Instant movement] and disappeared from Varvei's view
”...idiot”
Mars appeared next to what looked like the bandit leader that was standing in the back and mercilessly slashed at him without warning severing both his legs
”AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!”
the bandit's scream drew the attention of the rest of the bandits
”who's that!?”
”he hurt the leader!”
”kill him!”
”surround him!”
the bandits changed Mars that just stood there leisurely with sword drawn and a casual smile on his face as he calmly said while he pulled out his steel mercenary tag
”I'm here to assist”
”he's a merch, kill him!”
a bandit charged forward and sashed at Mars with his sword, Mars just took half a step back and then he kicked the bandit in his family jewels with all his strength
”AAAAGGGHHHH!!!”
the second agonising howl sounded out as the bandit fell over clutching his family jewels, this seemed to dampen the bandits lust for battle as they just surrounded Mars and looked on as the family jewel less bandit rolled around in agony on the ground
”not coming..? then here I come!”
Mars kicked off the ground and sent out a slash that spilt another bandit at his waist sending the 2 parts of him to the ground as the smell of blood got thick in the surrounding area, Mars quickly sent out another slash sending the head of another bandit flying into the air
”he's a monster!”
”run!”
the bandit's scattered and begun running into the forest, one of them ran towards Varvei but right before he reached her did a fire lance hit him and set him ablaze right before Mars suddenly appeared in front of the burning bandit and cut his head cleanly off sending it flying into the air
”nobody touches Varvei”
Mars walked over to Varvei and asked
”you okay?”
”...y-yeah I'm fine”
”that's good”
Mars picked up Varvei and walked over to the 2 surviving mercenaries, one man and one woman both humans both of them bowed their heads to Mars
”thanks for saving us sword master!”
”thank you sword master”
”it's nothing, I'm sorry for not getting here sooner”
”please dont be sorry we're just glad you showed up at all sword master”
”okay...”
”erm... what about the rest of the bandits, should we pressure them?”
”my magic beast Victoria is taking care of the ones that ran”
”okay...”
the man walked over to the carriage and knocked on the door before he loudly said
”mister Baker it's clear now, the bandits have run away”
the door of the carriage opened and a human man dressed in expensive looking clothes stepped out and looked around, seeing all the bloodshed he frowned lightly before he turned and asked the merch
