Chapter 123: Battling Against the Bandits “Fool, if you take his younger sister, you need to kill him, or he will want to revenge later.”
One of the two 3-star Novice bandits rushed towards Yale to attack him after his companion said that he wanted Yale’s sister, but he was too late.
“The user successfully created the Battle Skill [Limb Splitter]”
After the 1-star Novice bandit had said that Wyba belonged to him, Yale executed the skill he had devised in the previous bandit assault but never had a chance to use as it required a humanoid target.
It was a skill with four slashes that aimed at the four limbs, a skill created to deal with a higher number of opponents.
Yale had seen that when someone is in a great disadvantage of numbers, killing all the opponents is difficult, so he needed to injure them enough to avoid them continue battling and when no one had the strength to battle then kill them.
As long one of the four hits succeeded in cutting a limb, the battle prowess of the other party would diminish without any doubt; especially if the other party didn’t have any healer.
Furthermore, it was extremely good as a surprise attack as that type of attacks were usually directed at vital points and when someone detected such attack, the instinct was protecting the vitals making easier to cut at least one of the limbs. Even if the cut would have failed, if the opponent would have suffered a great injury it would be already enough to reduce the opponent’s threat greatly.
The bandit didn’t expect the attack and Yale didn’t hesitate to use the Space-time Judgment Sword, so the result was that the bandit had their four limbs sliced without any difficulty.
The bandit was too dumb; he never expected that Yale would attack him, he thought that only a fool would refuse to leave alive leaving his sister behind. That bandit was selfish and never cared about anyone else, he thought that everyone was like him and as long their own life wasn’t threatened anything else didn’t matter.
The bandit was still alive, but he had lost any power of battle, and his blood loss was life-threatening. Even Yale hadn’t expected that the attack would really succeed in the four slashes, any cautious opponent would avoid that easily.
“Limb Splitter Level 1: Four consecutive strikes with the sword aiming at the limbs. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 20.”
Yale was extremely quick to attack; the injured bandit cry sounded when Yale had already rushed towards the 3-star bandit who was also rushing towards him.
Yale intercepted the bandit attack and made him went backward, Yale didn’t fear a 3-star Novice, but he wouldn’t be able to finish the battle quickly either.
Excluding Wyba, everyone else was shocked by Yale’s performance against the first bandit. Yale was ruthless and crippled his opponent without a second thought, in the midst of a battle without any healing magic that was the same as being dead. After that, no one dared to think that Yale was an inexperienced youngster with a powerful bloodline.
The other bandit at the 3-star Novice Rank also arrived at the plaza soon after the first bandit was defeated by Yale and then, he started to battle with the tiger girl’s father.
Initially, the bandits had an advantage with people at the Novice Rank, but Yale managed to eliminate one of them quickly erasing that advantage. Moreover, the 3-star Novice Rank bandit wasn’t able to obtain any advantage in the battle against Yale who was at the 2-star.
The battles among the Novice Rank fighters were the most important as any of them could change the outcome of the assault. Both sides couldn’t let the other ran from the battle as that would give that person a chance to eradicate the other side completely.
However, the other bandits were attacking the people in the town, and most of the assaulted half-beasts were unable to fight back due to their low realms.
Wyba and the tiger girl were also being targeted as they could serve to distract Yale’s party if they were caught, but Wyba didn’t hesitate and started to fly picking the tiger girl with her, there were too many people to fight alone in the floor.
The bandits didn’t have pure bloodlines, with their paw-like hands using a bow wasn’t possible, so they had no means to attack at long-range.
Then, Wyba started to throw Ice Spears to the bandits who were unable to hit her in any way as they lacked long-range attacks and Wyba was flying high.
The tiger girl was surprised that Wyba was able to fly because if she had flown in their battle, the result would have been decided without battling because she didn’t have any mean of hitting someone who was flying. Her father was also surprised because he was able to recognize Wyba’s bloodline due to the wings; a Frost Winged Wolf had a far better bloodline than a Fire-wood Tiger, he couldn’t avoid thinking how his foolish wife had considered that Wyba’s bloodline was inferior to them.
On another part of the town, the 9-star blood elitist had awakened after being knocked out and was in a bad mood when the bandits attacked.
When she saw the bandits attacking she shouted at them without hesitation.
“Lowly beings with trash bloodlines, how do you dare to attack a town governed by the exalted Fire-wood Tiger bloodline, get out of our town right now!”
The bandits were pissed by her words because all of them had a complex with their bad quality bloodlines.
Even if the woman was at the 9-star, there were a lot of bandits at the same level, so they replied by attacking her in mass while shouting some things to her in reply. Their bloodlines were worst than her bloodline, but their strength wasn’t weaker than her, and their experience in battle was far superior.
“Cut her tongue!”
“It doesn’t matter if she is a woman, kill her!”
The woman was unable to understand most of the words the bandits said, but she started to battle them thinking killing all of them would be easy with her exalted bloodline. She lived for one minute before she was killed.
The only reason she remained alive a whole minute was that the bandits killed her rather slowly to make her suffer, she hadn’t battle experience against such a great number of opponents, she wouldn’t have lasted even five seconds if they wanted to kill her quickly.
The woman lost her consciousness due to the pain after one minute, so the bandits killed her as torturing someone unconscious didn’t have any sense.
There were a lot of people near that woman when she shouted, but her words had made that all the bandits had focused on her; if she hadn’t opened her mouth, given her realm and the fact the bandits wanted to capture women alive, she would have had chances to survive.
She died due to her pride, and at the same time, some other people managed to hide well in that minute the bandits were distracted.
At Yale’s side, no one had time to think about other people; they were all battling with all their strength.
Yale was already using his Water Battle Armor. He was already restricting himself from using any skill which wasn’t from the water element, he even changed the shape of the armor to a wolf-like appearance, making that the skill seemed one obtained from his bloodline.
Even with that handicap, Yale was still battling at the same level that the bandit who was a star higher than him.
The other battle was also in a stalemate, but the tiger man was suffering as he knew that if he lost too much time all the people in the town would be killed by the bandits.
Wyba was beating some bandits from the sky, but there were too many bandits, and Wyba wasn’t able to use enough Ice Spears to hit all of them. Furthermore, she remained near the area where Yale was battling; she didn’t want that any bandit made a sneak attack towards Yale while he was in the midst of a battle.
If Yale were the one flying, he would be able to defeat all the Mortal Rank bandits easily, but he couldn’t do it until his current opponent was defeated.
“You are all dead, our boss will come soon, and he will kill you all!”
Yale’s opponent was the one who said that, but Yale didn’t react to those words.
To Yale it didn’t matter if that was true or false, he still needed to beat his opponent who was an experienced fighter.
The main reason for him uttering those words was that the first bandit who had lost all his limbs at the start of the battle had died due to the blood loss.
The bandits truly had a boss, and he valued the three bandits at the Novice Rank a lot, with one of them dead the boss would want revenge.
