Chapter 142 To kill an emperor 4 (1/2)
Mars gradually recovered from his mana shortage and by the time the mercenaries was done cleaning the battlefield Mars stood up from his spot and walked over and used a fire spell to burn the bodies of the bandits to ashes, after he set the bodies alight someone poked him on the shoulder, so Mars turned around and saw Mary with fresh bandages around her arm and an awkward look on her face, Mars gave a sigh and asked her
”what did I tell you not even 15 minutes ago?”
”...not to chase too far?”
Mars grabbed her head with a deathclaw of doom
”so you do remember”
”ouch, ouch! p-please forgive me mister Shady!”
”what do you mean forgive you, have you done anything wrong~?”
”ouch! y-yes I was wrong, I should not have chased so far!”
”oh I see, well in that case I forgive you”
Mars released Mary from his death claw of doom and quickly grabbed her arm and pulled the bandages off
”let's see here...”
Mary turned quiet with a light blush on her face as Mars peered into her wound
”hold still...”
”okay”
Mars reached out and carefully removed a small piece of lose bandage that was stuck in her wound before he activated his [Energy: healing] skill, as the wound closed Mars held her hand as Mary's face gradually got more and more flushed
”and there you are, good as new”
Mars gave Mary a pat on the arm which woke her from her daze
”t-thanks mister Shady”
Mary attempted to run off and find a place to cool her face but Mars held on to her arm
”before you leave why don't you tell me what you have learned once more?”
”....not to chase too far?”
”good girl”
Mars gave Mary a pat on the head before he turned and walked back to his spot in the formation as the caravan slowly started moving again...
”WIPED OUT!?”
the man trembled as the hysterically voice hit him in the face like a truck before he lowered his head even more and spoke with a shaky voice
”y-yes b-big sis, t-they w-w-were w-w-w-wiped out”
if the man was a mage he would be able to feel the odd in the air tremble as the redheaded beauty with pure white skin in front of him almost formed a spell fuelled by pure rage instead of mana, her expression on her pretty face had contracted and she looked like a wraith out for blood as she trembled in rage for a few moments before she began raining causes at the poor man
”the 13 be damned, you bunch of ignorant, week, cowardly, poor excuses for men can't even do something as simple as take one fucking carriage from a bunch of spineless sell swords! Your task is not even the hard one! do you understand that!?”
the man trembled as he lowered his head even more, by now his body had been covered by cold sweat and he half expected to be killed at any time
”y-yes big sis we understand”
”damn it!”
after cursing once more the redheaded beauty suddenly seemed to calm down and asked the man
”you know what the problem is?”
the man trembled like a small dog, at this point his clothes was drenched in cold sweat, but he knew he could not remain silent so he answered the question
”no I don't big---”
*SNAP*
'huh that's weird... why can I see the ceiling?'
those were the last thought that went through the man's head as his body and head had been twisted apart by a strong suddenly appearing vacuum, the redheaded beauty gave a sigh and spoke out in the tent
”the problem is that I let you useless people handle it... I have to get darling back myself”
Mars let out a yawn, the last few days had been calm with no sudden and bloody attacks from bandits, besides the bear that wandered within 200 meters of the caravan and was hunted down in secret by Victoria Mars had not detected anything that posed a threat to the caravan and was naturally starting to feel bored
”hey mister Shady that's bad manners, you have to be alert during the job!”
bloody Mary that walked next to him reminded him to keep alert but Mars just waved his hand and dismissed her
”yeah, yeah.... I'm always alert anyways Mary”
”if you say so, but man it's really been quiet the last couple of days...”
”yeah... almost to quiet, just kidding”
