Book 2: Surviving In Another World From Zero

Chapter 11: The Fight In The Underground City Part Three

I jumped in the air to give a flying kick for the sake of taking down the two people who were currently blocking us. Either because we often fought against strong monsters for ourselves these bandits were not a threat.

I zigzagged in front of the enemies and with a slight slash they fell to the ground.

"It's safe, forward."

I gave everyone a hand code to continue the journey. Mery was still holding the foreign woman, while beside her Latifa and Purin were constantly on guard.

Just half the way back then we'll be out, I hope that this becomes an easy journey unfortunately a man has been blocking us with a group of women who are similar to the women who are carried on Mery's back now.

More specifically, just the clothes.

"You can't leave before you hand the girl over."

He pointed at Purin with lewd eyes on his face.

"The money you make for me is huge, I can't wait to get it."

"He is the leader of Skull Darkness, Lufidol," over Purin's statement we finally know who the brains of his abduction are.

Mery cut.

"There are six foreign women, do I have to fight as well."

"Looks like that, just put him down."

"I understand."

Purin and the previous woman were left behind while we lunged forward. Lufidol also gave directions to send his men forward and the impact was inevitable.

As usual our formation relied on Mery as a forward attacker, me and Latifa were hiding behind Mery as a shuriken flew at us.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, we should honestly have a mage to attack far away."

"It's not the time to say that" Latifa immediately denied my words.

Tung, hung.

The foreign women ran sideways past the shield and together they dropped smoke bombs under our feet.

And my hunch is right.

It exploded so that in that puff of smoke we scattered.

Mery forward, I to the right and Latifa to the left while carrying a stick in her hand. We beat as many as we could and received the minimum possible reply.

I used the Double Slash skill followed by the Back Stab, it was a pity that one of the women I attacked was able to read my movements so well that we banged each other's weapons before jumping back, after all, one more person attacked me after sneaking in from behind.

"Don't underestimate the ninja clan, we're superior to a thief."

The ninja clan.

That reminds me, they are known as assassins obviously they are experts in this kind of fight, I turn back to dodge while keeping my distance.

With the three of us then the fight that happened now became two against one.

Mery fought his enemy and Latifa did too, we always felt guilty about making Latifa on the front lines when in fact she had a job that always worked at the back.

"How much money you received from the man, if the money then we will pay double," I said.

"We have the principle that who first rents is the first person to be served, money matters are useless."

They're professional killers.

It's difficult.

I silently glanced towards Mery who had to hold back with his shield as well as the short sword in the other hand, whereas Latifa had to go to great lengths to use light magic as an attack.

"It's not time to think of other people, you're also in the trouble of a little cat."

I held down someone who jumped in front of me, one person took a crack to kick my stomach until I rolled around before crashing into a burning building.

"Whoaaa, my tail's on fire."

I ran to and fro in panic, before finally using water magic to extinguish it.
