Chapter 248 - The field trip (5) (1/2)

The bandit leader walked through the forest along with her two female vice leaders, they were in a good mood chatting and laughing along the way when suddenly 'something' flew right past them and crashed into a tree followed by a loud boom as the tree splintered into pieces

”Go check it out!”

”Y-Yes boss!”

One of the vice leaders quickly ran over and investigated what exactly it was that had crashed into the tree and after a few seconds she let out a scream before she yelled to the bandit leader

”Boss it's Kenny, they killed Kenny!”

The other vice leader covered her mouth, she had been in a very good relationship with the beastman vice leader, soon fury lit up in her eyes as she yelled

”Those bastards!”

The vice leader drew her swords and was about to rush forward when suddenly she received a slap to her face as the bandit leader appeared right in front of her

”Calm down!”

”But they killed---”

”I know that's why you have to calm down, we can only avenge Kenny if we work together and are calm and collected!”

”... I understand”

”Good, now let's go find the son of bitch that killed Kenny, along with our new recruit”

””Yes boss!””

The bandit leader gave a sigh, she faintly felt that their new recruit and the one that killed Kenny were the same person, she of course didn't say this out loud

'Well with that kind of skill he should be worth two of my vice leaders if not more... This works out too'

The group of three calmly walked forwards and soon they reached a clearing where a single person sat holding a beastwoman in his embrace, the person had long pale horns and the boss knew immediately that this was their new recruit, the one that was able to condense his blood l.u.s.t. Next she turned her gaze to the beastwoman that laid in his embrace and when she saw the amount of blood that was on her clothes she gave a slight smile, she knew the beastwoman had died or was about to

”You! Where you the bastard that killed Kenny!?”

The youth raised his head and looked at the three women before he raised a finger in front of his lips indicating for them to be silent, this of course pissed off the vice leader even more as she once again yelled

”You bastard, I asked you a question, were you the one that killed Ken---”

”Annoying, I told you to be quiet mortal, 78 is sleeping”

Mars waved his hand at the same time the vice leader clutched her head before she suddenly began bleeding out of her eyes and nose before she collapsed onto the ground, the remaining vice leader and bandit leader both sucked in a breath of cold air, from their numerous experiences with death they were able to tell that she was dead. Moments passed until the bandit leader began speaking with a slightly shaking voice

”Hey you're the one right? The one among the teachers that can condense bloodl.u.s.t right? Just like this...”

The bandit leader raised her hand and soon a vermilion armor shard formed floating on top of her hand, Mars looked on undisturbed, this caused the bandit leader to panic somewhat as she quickly spoke

”You're a killer right? since you can condense blood l.u.s.t your thirst for blood must be enormous like mine right?”

Mars closed his eyes, the bandit leader took this as him admitting it and grew even more excited as she began yelling

”In that case why stay a teacher, join us instead! That way you can kill to your heart's content! Now swear loyalty to me and I'll set you free! Come, what are you waiting fo---”

”You're loud”

Without a sound the bandit leader also fell over, bleeding from her eyes, nose and mouth, she was dead too. Mars turned his eyes to the remaining bandit vice leader that shrunk back with fear visible in her eyes

”... If you manage to leave the forest before 78 wakes I'll let you live”

The vice leader nodded her head and then she turned and ran, leaving Mars alone with 78 in the clearing, he had long since healed her now he was just waiting for her to regain consciousness while he held her in his arms

'...'

Mars' head was clear, like a clear lake, completely undisturbed but under the surface a storm raced violently as his sword hand trembled slightly. Slowly the lake of his mind began showing faint ripples and soon he couldn't help but whisper

”I almost lost you...”
