14 – Why the hell do bandits have this?(3)

“You, what are you!”

“Students.”

“f*ck the bullsh*t!”

The bandit put the antidote into his clothes and showed his hostility.

“Because I am a student.”

Yujin answered roughly and immediately swung her sword. It was good to see the match before the other bandits woke up.

However, the bandit’s inaction with the antidote was quite high.

Puffer Pung!

The guy quickly spread his magic and distanced himself from Eugene and shouted with all his magic.

“Wake up you bastards! It’s an intruder!”

“…… An intruder?”

“It’s real!”

“Kill!”

Four bandits who had been soundly asleep woke up at the same time and rushed at them.

In an instant, a melee broke out.

Eugene continued the battle, blocking and dodging the attacks of the bandits.

“Take care of yourself… ….”

The bandit with the antidote let out a fishy smile and drained his mana straight from the danteon. The long chant ended while the bandits were wasting time with Eugene.

A huge flame shot from his outstretched hand and hit Eugene.

Hwaaah!

The bandits’ quarters were set on fire.

‘But it doesn’t matter.’

The items that made money were stored in magic-protected chests.

‘The guy who just attacked me is definitely a strong guy… ….’

If you fight one-on-one, you can’t guarantee victory.

It would have been a cheap deal if I had just burnt down the dwelling and subdued him.

The fire died down before I knew it and thick smoke came out.

‘I can’t survive an attack like this.’

The bandit grinned and walked into the quarters.

Paaa!

At that moment, the strong wind that bloomed in the smoke cleared the smoke.

‘What!’

From noble mtl dot com

I couldn’t recognize it with the wizard’s eyes. It was a strong wind generated by the wind attribute magic of a higher planet.

‘None of my subordinates have mastered wind magic!’

I had an ominous feeling. That intuition turned out to be true.

“No matter how much a bandit has no morals, is it true if he casts magic where his subordinates are?”

Eugene, unscathed and unscathed, was standing with a sword. Around it, four bandits stretched out amicably.

“Are you planning to kill all your men?”

In the recent fire, Eugene protected himself with defense-type magic, sparing no magic power into the sword, and instantly rendering the four bandits unable to fight.

‘It didn’t matter if I killed them because they were bandits.’

It was pitiful to see such a person taken care of, so I let him live.

“Yes, you bastard! Whose order did you come from! How did you know this place!”

“That’s none of your business, I’m looking for an antidote. Will you give it right? Just give it to me.”

“The antidote? Did you come with the instructions from the upper ranks? I killed them all on the spot, but you managed to find me!”

“You don’t answer, you just talk nonsense.”

As expected, let’s think about losing.

Eugene jumped out of his place and swung his sword.

I just had 30% of my magic power left because I was quickly suppressing the bandits. He had no time to relax.

“Do you think I can lose to you!”

The bandits also tried their best.

The battle continued as magic and sword collided.

It was Eugene who had the upper hand in the fight.

‘Isn’t this sparring?’

The gift brought by the spirit of the sword was infinite realization of the sword and the speed of rising to a different level.

A greater gift than that was the mental and physical stability and composure given in a life-and-death battle, and a sense of real combat that transcended the human realm.

When the opponent’s order was not to be harmed, the sword spirit lowered its voice.

When I didn’t have to, I just said my opinion.

If you stab it this way, it threatens the enemy’s throat, and if you swing it that way, you can slash the enemy’s throat.

Each of Eugene’s swords sent chills down the bandit’s spine.

The bandit retreated and fired magic to block the attack, but he couldn’t use his skills due to the constant threat to his life.

“aaa!”

Pervert!

The bandit’s composure is disturbed, and the accuracy of his spells has dropped. Out of ten shots, only one flew to Eugene.

‘This, what the hell is this nonsense!’

The swordsman’s movement to kill himself was like that of a ghost.

He hid himself in the smoke from the collision of magic and sword, and charged like a beast and swung his sword.

So, when he cast magic on the smoke, he flew out of sight and swung his sword.

‘How can a kid who can’t even sign a contract do this!’

You are young compared to yourself.

The total amount of magical power that guy possesses must be meager compared to his own.

However, my attacks were never right, and every attack by the young swordsman was putting my life at risk.

As the soul-stricken battle neared its end, the bandit screamed and stretched out his hand.

The magic didn’t work. The bandit’s magic power has all gone.

“Is it over now?”

Yujin walked over holding a sword.

The bandit knew he was defeated.

If you were your past self, that is.

‘It’s not over yet… ….’

The bandit smiled sinisterly.

A few months ago, he picked up a book that had fallen on the ground and learned a strange magic.

Even if that magic did not have magical power, it was able to emit black magic with unknown power. Thanks to the power gained from that magic, he even annihilated a group of upper ranks with an escort.

‘With this, I can take my breath away in one shot.’

It would be regrettable if a talented swordsman who was not even in the terms of the contract died like this, but he was a wicked man and his life was more important.

He stretched out his magic and chanted his magic. An unknown black aura spread out. The power that swayed unpleasantly was emitting a terrible aura as if it was greedy for living beings.

The moment that black energy was confirmed in Eugene’s eyes.

“No, you crazy bastard!”

Eugene’s relaxed face hardened. He spurred the advance and flew in, unbelievably swift sword strikes.

Puaagh!

The bandit’s magical beast flew through the air.

“aaagh!”

He grabbed the amputated arm and rolled on the ground. However, Eugene had erased all leisure.

He growled as he thrust his sword into the bandit’s stomach.

“You bastard, where did you learn that!”

“aaah! Ah, it hurts! Sick!”

“If you don’t talk, the heart is next.”

Eugene drew his sword and aimed it at his heart. The bandit, who was distracted by the terrible pain, barely came to his senses at the thought that he could really die.

“My, I will tell you everything! I will tell you everything!”

“Tell me quickly, if you don’t want to be left behind. Where did you learn that dark magic!”

The black magic Eugene talked about.

It was a dark magic devised by the Black Flower Blood Demon, an anti-humanity organization and the axis of evil in this world.

They pursued power by any means and methods, and committed acts against humanity such as genocide casually.

What they wanted was to bring the true meaning of the god of war, the divine being ‘Heukhwahyeol Daeje’, to lead them back to this world.

It was also a group of madmen who casually sacrificed their lives for that.

‘It makes no sense for those guys to show up now!’

It was clear that we would start full-fledged activities someday, but now it was just the beginning of the story in the game.

It remained for a long time until the black blood demon devours the world.

‘It’s been a while, why did this bandit use black magic?’

Eugene’s head was on the verge of bursting.

I had to polish my sword every single day because of my body’s previous owner, but I was even looking at the fragments of a crazy group called the Black Blood Demons.

‘If this guy is a member, it’s going to get really serious.’

This bandit was too weak to be a member of the Black Blood Demon. If it was a real member, it was just a small piece that would be thrown away after being used moderately and offered as a sacrifice for human sacrifice.

However, there was some possibility. I had to check once.

“Tell me quickly!”

I poked a little blade into the bandit’s heart and tried to find an answer. The bandit, whose complexion was pale from excessive bleeding, trembled and opened his mouth.

“Tta, I learned from a book I picked up from the ground.”

“Do you want to bullsh*t? Will you come to your senses if you get hit more?”

“Gee, it’s real. Please believe me! Why would you lie when I’m all dying!”

Yujin stared into the bandit’s eyes.

I didn’t see the black energy unique to humans who received the ritual of joining the Dark Blood Demon.

‘First of all, I’m not a member… ….’

Eugene swept his chest and drew the sword from his heart.

If this guy is not a member, but a bandit who learned black magic by accident by reading the book of the Black Blood Demon, it meant that the Black Blood Demon had not started its activities yet.

“So, did you really learn from the book you picked up?”

“Yes. I really mean it!”

“Then give me the book.”

“No!”

Yujin opened her eyes fiercely.

“No no! It’s real! Please trust me! I thought it was a dangerous magic if someone caught me, so I only learned it and burned it so no one could learn it!”

“How long has it been since you learned it?”

“It’s been a little over three months. Keugh…….”

Before he knew it, the bandit was in pain as he stopped the bleeding on his severed arm.

‘I’m sure he will live too… ….’

Yujin sighed.

“So, how much black magic did you spend in three months?”

“My strength…… I wrote whenever I felt inadequate. It must have been used in about five fights…….”

“Did you use it even after the mana ran out?”

“If mana is not depleted, there is no reason to use it. Of course, I spent a lot even after my mana was depleted. I felt like something was coming out of my body, but I didn’t spare it because I could continue to use it.”

“This, you crazy bastard… ….”

Yujin smiled dejectedly.

“You said you felt something coming out of your body? Have you ever wondered what kind of power it is? The black magic you wrote uses the life force of the body when there is no mana. Assuming that it is used non-stop in a single battle, roughly 10 years of lifespan is gone.”

“What, what…… ?”

“I said I wrote it five times, so 50 years have passed. Oh, you crazy bastard…….”

“Don’t lie! What’s the point of tricking me into saying that?”

“You said it yourself. What would I gain by lying?”

The bandit’s complexion turned pale.

It was not due to bleeding. It was because of the miserable reality that there were only a few years left to live in the future.

‘I thought the blood that came out when I coughed recently was just an internal injury sustained in a fight… ….’

The bandit let out an absurd laugh.

He found the book a few months ago and said it was a chance for him, but I never thought it would have been a misfortune that hastened his life.

“Then let’s do what we were doing.”

Yujin approached with a sword.

“Wait a minute! I told you everything! I said everything, but does it make sense to kill me!”

“Did you make sense and kill people? Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

A sword was applied to the bandit’s lower abdomen.

“This is crazy… …. Are you trying to abolish the Danjeon?”

I’d rather die than lose my Danjeon. Eugene was doing this because he knew that too.

A person who loses Danjeon loses all his magic power, and can never gain magic power again. A person who has had power all his life is degraded to a person without any power.

“Please, please, don’t break down the electricity supply! I will give you everything I have! No, I will!”

“No. How much more will the cub, who lived by killing people, harass people for a few more years left in its lifespan? Even seeing the people who died because of you, I have no choice.”

Yujin thrust his sword into the bandit’s short circuit.

The bandit fainted from the terrible pain that came from the destruction of the Danjeon.

Eugene took the antidote out of the boy’s arms and put it in his pocket, then proceeded to destroy the other bandits who had passed out.

“They are all similar.”

Wicked men who have lived by stealing people’s lives and property. The world was not so beautiful to be merciful to them.

If I leave these guys alone, I won’t be able to see the innocent people who will be killed and injured by them later.

After the not-so-pleasant destruction of the Danjeon, Eugene headed for the bandit’s dwelling, where only ashes remained after being burned.

A little while ago, my stamina and mana had been depleted, and walking around was to death in itself, but I had to check the wealth of the bandits. Thanks to the mental strength that the Sword Spirit encouraged, he was able to endure at least.

“Looks like you just saw a magically protected chest.”

A shiny chest that stood out openly while fighting bandits. Everything turned to ashes and it was an empty field, so I found it right away.

‘I wonder what’s inside.’

Yujin opened the chest.

I saw dozens of silver coins and a few gold coins.

‘As for plundering the top…… Wealth isn’t that great.’

I’m just inferring the story of the bandits from before.

I opened it with high expectations, but it was a bit disappointing.

Yujin rummaged through the chest a little more.

‘What is this? A piece of cloth?’

A black cloth was wrapped around it as if to hide something.

What are you hiding?

Yujin carefully removed the cloth. What had been hiding underneath was revealed.

‘This is…… !’

Eugene’s eyes widened as if he had seen a jar of honey.
