4 You reap what you sow (1/2)
Bandit leader shuddered when he heard Don and he saw Don as the Devil reincarnated. This youngster just killed his comrades like chopping vegetables, what sort of maniac or person could do that he thought. If gods could hear his thoughts, they would smite his butt because he was just going to kill Arwen and some elves moments ago.
On the other hand, the elves seemed to quite lighten up and their previously pale face started to return to normal as their body was slightly loosened up.
After a few moments without getting attacked by the bandit leader, Arwen's senses slowly came back to him and Amaryll watched this scene without even batting an eyelid, her eyes held a mix of tension and excitement and fear.
Bandit leader cast away all his doubts, shortcomings, and prepared to battle with Don as he clutched his fists so tightly while the nails started to penetrate his palms.
”I do not know what powers you hold to kill my Lisa and others easily but I'm not them, I will kill you and avenge them with your blood” as he said, the bandit leader took his daggers out of his armor and started to inject magic in them, the daggers shone with light green color like sunlight reflecting on a jade stone.
”Take out your sword brat I don't want to kill you with a single attack” the bandit leader shouted threateningly.
”No need you are just a bigger ant” Don replied, his voice was still cold.
Hearing this bandit leader almost coughed up blood in anger, he was a leader of a ferocious bandit group, he killed countless other beings and never in his life, felt humiliated like this.
A young brat who is not even half of his age was comparing him with an ant, how ridiculous is that but he felt that this brat can back his words.
”Come on then, you don't want to make your friends wait for you in hell”.
”Ahhhhhhh bastard!” The bandit leader couldn't hold his anger anymore as he leaped towards Don, veins on his eyes already started to crack, and turned his eyes into blood red. The bandit leader was going all out in this fight and this was a fight to the death for him.
The bandit leader swung his daggers at Don like a madman, there was no finesse or technique in his moments, just fury and anger.
Unlike Arwen who was weak in close-combat, Don was an expert so he simply dodged the bandit leader's attacks. It was like a perfectly choreographed dance as every time the bandit leader swung his daggers at him, Don would simply evade like he already knows what's going to happen.
This made the bandit leader more furious and his moves became more and more disoriented.
He was a peak level master magi and just a little bit under the great master level.
Just like he was toying with Arwen now Don is toying with the bandit leader.
”Hmm, how does it feel to be toyed with huh?”Don asked while evading the bandit leader's attacks.
”Bastard stop running, fight me head-on if you dare” the bandit leader screamed as he was getting more inflamed, the veins on his head hands were bulged out.
”I just take this as your final wish” as he said Don stopped evading and raised his right hand like he was going to strangle the leader's neck, the leader was confused seeing what is his opponent doing
However soon he got the answer to his question when the air around him started to thicken and the ground beneath him came to life as the mud turned into hands to grab his legs firmly.
”Wha what sorcery is this? why can't I see any magic fluctuations around you?” the bandit leader shouted and struggled to free himself from the ground.
Magic fluctuation would appear when a magi cast or use magic, no matter the levels, a magi was no exception for magic fluctuation, the stronger the magi or the spell, the stronger the fluctuation that would appear around him/her.
Magi could determine other magi's power and level noticing the magical fluctuations but the bandit leader could not see a single particle around Don is fluctuating, in fact, he was not wrong since this is one of the many secrets that Don holds.
Don didn't mind the bandit leader's words as he started to clench his fist to force the bandit leader to fall to his knees while the daggers in his hands hit the ground with a sound of 'clink'.
”Are you feeling powerless? Not like when you beat innocent people huh?
Now I will give you two choices, the first choice is you answer my questions and I'll kill you instantly without causing pain” Don paused for a moment before continuing
”The second one is, you don't answer and I'll torture you slowly till you die or answer my question, so which one do you prefer?”
