A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 48: Standby - 3

Inside the forest, the rumbling sounds of fighting rang out as the sword technique unleashed by one of the bandits clashed against Dany's empty-handed technique.

Bam Bam Bam Bam

Loud noises continued to be produced as the two balanced, their energy breaking apart from each other, disappearing without leaving much trace of anything.

“You will we slaughter the base bandit curse!” yelled Dany who immediately lunged at them.

“Wait for Dany! Don't act rashly!”

Simon felt a little worried about Dany's behavior who likes to act arbitrarily now. He could see that the enemy was not a random bandit that could be seen from the installation of traps, the enemy was clearly a trained and experienced person especially in the fight in this kind of situation.

Other than because of the detection magic that their comrades had performed they were unable to find these hiding bandits, either, Simon also realized that the bandits had started the fight using ‘pakan cannon’ which eventually made their guard down. Waiting for the right moment, the bandits finally attacked them! And even showing the confidence of successfully catching them off guard, made these bandits have a high chance of overcoming their squads.

The bandit group took over one person each to face separately, making Simon and his partner unable to help each other because they were preoccupied by the bandits they were fighting. Moreover, the strength of these bandits was above them!

A bandit holding a large axe in his hand advanced and became Dany's opponent. Strength against strength, perhaps that could describe the fight between the two of them. The sparks continued to fly as the two forces clashed, both of which tended to be evenly matched even though Dany looked superior because she was more agile because she only had a body than her opponent who had to lift a large, heavy axe.

As the fight continues, the trees around are destroyed, although Dany can excel from her opponent, but the overall situation is not so. It could be seen that the bandits were superior to the squads from Reutania Kingdom. The average level of strength that the bandits had was not far from the opponent that Dany faced, meaning that the strength of the bandits was in the range of gold level 2-3! Above the strength of this team.

Simon and his colleagues managed to survive the fight until now with great difficulty, so that it can make the death toll has not fallen. However, this situation was the same for both camps, be it from the bandit group or the squad from Reutania Kingdom, and they knew that it would not last long.

Dany continued to try to separate herself from her opponent, wanting to help Simon and the others who were increasingly desperate. However, the opponent did not let himself escape from his entrapment.

One of the bandits separated himself from the opponent, retreating for a moment he raised his hand as a pale brown light began to shine. “Magic: Pillars!”

Magic was unleashed and the ground surged, rising high forming towering stone pillars one by one, changing the battleground.

The bandit smiled with satisfaction, these stone pillars will greatly obstruct the movement of Dany as well as her other opponents.

“Sial!” shout Dany.

The stone pillars were not only to make his movements blocked, but also to make the attacks coming towards him become as impossible for him to avoid as easily as before.

Thump!

Dany fell down after the big axe attacked her from a blind spot, although she could shift her body to make the attack recognize no vital parts. However, the attack still left a wound on his left hand.

The bandits laughed, not only was Dany in a desperate condition of her other teammates the same, with the teamwork these bandits had done to overcome the squad sent by Reutania Kingdom. Although the fight is one-on-one, but the bandits can get an advantage other than because of the cooperation done also because the bandits get the advantage of strength.

“Good friend,” other sahut.

A man with a great sword fighting Simon now began to exert more power on his attacks, making the heavy pressure even more felt as slash after slash continued to be unleashed.

Simon and the man's swords clashed with each other and sparks in the air were produced, although Simon knew the other's condition was not good, nor was he in a condition to help. He did not even have the slightest leeway on his fight.

“Hahahaha!” The man laughed out loud, I don't know what he was laughing at. However, Simon felt a bad premonition, a premonition that had been honed in the repeated fights he had experienced.

Suddenly the pressure that Simon felt was increasing, every movement that his opponent took contained a heavy burden that was increasing and increasing.

“Haevy Strike!”

Seeing a heavy blow being thrown at him, Simon raised his sword. “Ward Angle!”

Moving his teeth, Simon tried to defend against the attack. However, the sword in his hand shattered shortly after hitting the greatsword that his opponent swung, unable to withstand the force that the opponent released causing him to bounce back after receiving the attack.

“Uhuk, uhuk,” Blood was mixed in Simon's cough, but even before he could stand again the attack had come before his eyes.

The huge sword was raised, but in the hands of the executioner who was about to finish off Simon's life the sword was as if it was extremely light as the trajectory of the attack formed rapidly.

“Now the dogs will die!”

Zratts

Simon's head flew into the air, detached from his body and a fountain of blood formed from the headless neck.

The morale of fighting the whole team goes out, seeing Simon, their leader dead. Although not the strongest but Simon is a figure that means to this squad. The bandits smiled cynically before killing even more people, taking advantage of the morale of their descending enemy.

The fishy smell of blood filled the air, the ground was red after absorbing the scattered blood.

“Aaahhh!”

Dany's face was flushed red, she launched a haphazard attack forming an energy storm that raged wildly all around. Making the bandits choose to stay away from him, every blow was launched with anger, frustration, and sadness.

His comrades had been killed, although sometimes they quarreled but it was only a commonplace and only a joke. Simon, the leader has been killed, for Dany the figure of Simon is not only a squad leader, but also a figure who has replaced the role of a father for him.

The bandits who found it difficult to cope with Dany in her current state chose to retreat, leaving Dany's figure still full of negative emotions alone.
