The Seven World Of Fantasy

Chapter 24: The ambush

"Is their base still far away?" I asked slowly.

"Sst! We're close." Clem walked back slowly behind the shadow of the trees.

We walked in this forest for almost 1 hour. All around us was a tree and a tree again. The sound of night bugs accompanying us during the trip, at least it can distract me from anything else.

Momo's not far behind me. He didn't look tired at all even though he had walked very far. He can't wait to see his friends again.

The sky has become dark. Maybe if in my world it's now around 7pm, because when we set off we still see the sunlight around.

"We're almost there. Prepare your magic, Momo." Clem whispered.

"Good." Answer Momo.

I also prepared my weapon. The gun in my right hand and the dagger in my left. For now I will be more concerned with accuracy and precision than intensity and quantity.

Our job is to infiltrate and defeat those bandits as quickly as possible, not as much as possible. We have to race against time before any of them find us.

Clem stopped walking. We should have reached their headquarters by now.

Bam!

"Damn!" Shouting Clem.

A flare exploded above us. The light he made was very bright and made it difficult for me to see.

"Suit! We're busted!" 

My head became dizzy and aching from that light. The explosion was like an effect caused by the Flashbang.

"They're there!"

"Catch them and catch them! Don't let them escape!"

"Catch 'em!"

Shit, they're gonna come after us!

As a result of that light I can clearly see the bandits who are in front of there. They were carrying full armaments and were running towards us.

"Come on, Riel, Momo! Go back into the woods!"

The three of us rushed over from the pursuit of the bandits. The road we walked was too difficult to use to run. The roots of trees and shrubs prevent us from moving.

"We take them off one by one while running! I'm sure a group of men are on the move to save us!" Clem instantly cast his magic and directed it towards the bandit troupe.

Momo also stopped and began to chant.

"Riel, cover us!" Clam.

"Good!"

I prepared my weapon and aimed at the bandits. The light from the flare was still helping my vision to aim at them.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

All my shots missed the target. The bandits were moving agilely among the trees to avoid my bullets.

Siaall!!

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

Quick Change's.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

I don't know if my shots were going bad, or if those bandits were really good. Since then none of my bullets have hit them.

"Go away, Riel!" Clem yelling.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

After finishing all my bullets, I immediately ran behind them while changing the magazine.

"Shock's Bolt!"

"Wind Cutter!"

A bolt of lightning exploded from behind Momo's hand, and was followed by Clem's wind slashes.

"Ghyaaaaa!!"

Several bandits were successfully incapacitated due to Momo's magic attack. Then the attack from Clem cut the trees and blocked their movement to chase us.

"There are witches and gun users among them! Drag them from all directions!"

"Keep running! I haven't been able to find our other group!"

We ran back through the woods and occasionally I fired a gun at them. The new gun is very powerful but the impact of the shot reduces the accuracy of the bullet.

Jem! Jem! Jem!

"Revelation!" My yelling.

Some arrows stuck in the tree. The bandits tried every way they could to catch us.

Clem and Momo hide behind a tree to take cover from the next shot.

Jem! Jem!

"Yeah!!"

I also took refuge after one of the arrows struck me in front of my eyes.

"What should we do?" My toot.

"Riel, go find our other group." Clem started chanting. "I'll hold them as I can. Hurry along!"

"But, there's no way I'm leaving you alone!"

"There's no more time. We have to prepare for the worst, and that's why we dare to do this job!"

Not likely. I really should have left him alone. A Sorcerer would obviously not be able to hold those bandits alone.

"Trust me." Clem convinced me.

Jem! Jem!

Some arrows rained back down on our zither area.

"Good! Leave it to me!" I managed to convince myself.

"I'll help Clem." Momo.

"Please, Momo. I'll be right back." After that I left them both. 

I ran through the forest to find the group of men who had departed first from us. So I tried to go around the place where the two of them were being a distraction, so that I could go to the men's place.

"Wind Cutter!"

"Lightning Spear!"

I can still hear them unleash their magic. The sound of lightning strikes was heard again along with several fallen trees. I'm sure the two Sorcerers were able to hold back the bandits for quite a long time.

The ground in front of me began to mix with the roots of the large tree. I had to stay focused on me so as not to stumble over the roots. I can't get caught and make both of their efforts go to waste.

"Who's there?"

The gawat!!

It turned out that in front of me there were some bandits, and they were aware of my existence.

"Did you see anything?" Ask one of the bandits.

"I heard something from the forest, but the intruders were supposed to be there."

"Yes already. Let's hurry up and get them."

They both did not realize my existence. My choice now is to either continue unbeknownst to them, or subvert him as the bandits while they're out of focus.

Up ahead it turns out that it is not the headquarters of the bandits as I thought, rather like a camp or post to guard their territory. I'm sure there will be more bandits in there.

If I get back on the move, I can more quickly find the group of men and come back to help Momo and Clem. But if I subvert them, I can help Momo and Clem to reduce the amount they have to endure.

All right, just two guys anyway. Within this close distance my two bullets were enough to overcome them with a flash. I took both of my pistols and prepared a position for the lightning strike.

Piercing Shots.

I jumped up and pointed the muzzle of my gun at them.

Dor's! Dor's!

The two bandits collapsed without even speaking a word.

"There's gunfire coming from there!"

"Everyone, get there!"

Oh, naw. I forgot that my gun doesn't have a silencer.

"That's it! Chase it!"

Gawat, now I'm the bait for them.

I can't go into the forest anymore, because it'll make it hard for me to move and make them catch me faster. There is no choice but to finish them off quickly.

The dzing! The dzing! The dzing!

Some bandits shot their arrows at me. Because there were many trees around me, I immediately took refuge behind them from the arrows.

"He was hiding behind the tree! Quickly chase before he goes deep into the forest!"

Five bandits chased me into the forest. The archers were three and were still far ahead of me. I should have dealt with the archers first, because it was very dangerous if they fired the arrows again.

"Where is he?"

"Be careful, he can make an attack very quickly."

The five bandits started looking for me into the forest. But I'm sorry, I've moved first and I'm near the archers now.

The three of them stood behind several large wooden boxes. I can use the box to scrape them while performing melee attacks.

Meanwhile, the bandits who were chasing me still continued to enter the forest. Just let them come later so I don't take care of too many people.

I changed my gun bullets and saved one of them to replace with a dagger. The archers were still focused on where I was without realizing I was next to them.

Alright, is my knife throwing technique still the best as in the previous game? 

I threw the dagger and directly advanced towards the three of them.

Jem!

My throw hit the right shoulder of one of them.

Dor's! Dor's!

Buk up! Dor's!

I directly fired at them while using a few kicks to attack. After that, I took another dagger and resisted the attacks of the archer who used his bow to block me.

Dor's! Dor's!

You can't shoot while resisting the enemy's attack, right? Unfortunately my gun can.

Three men I've subverted, then came again some bandits from behind. They weren't the ones chasing me into the forest, they were coming from the direction Momo and Clem were.

Jem!

Slow. I quickly threw a dagger at one of them.

"Quick Change!" I went back to using both of my guns and started shooting.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

"Shielded!"

They tried to get protection from my bullets, but one of them got hit by my bullet before it could move any further. One person fell, the remaining two were still hiding behind their wooden boxes and tents.

Piercing Shots.

I ran towards them on my tiptoes to minimize the sound of my steps. After that I did a sliding and found the two of them still hiding there.

Dor's! Dor's!

Tang!

One of the bandits managed to fend off my bullet with his sword.

"Yeah!!"

Buk up! Buk up! Tubs!

I twisted my body like I was doing a break dance move, but aiming to attack the enemy. It's like the Capoeira movement.

The bandit staggered as a result of my attack. As I moved closer to him...

"Point Blank."

DOR'S!

Another thing I can do is to donate.

A total of eight bandits I managed to crush, and five of them were still in the forest.

"Riel!" Someone shouted to me.

As I looked, I saw Clem running from behind the trees. I waved his hand so that he would not hesitate to approach me.

Wait, where's Momo?

Jem!

"Yeah!!"

An arrow stuck in my right thigh, and made me fall to the ground as a result of losing the strength to stand.

"Riel, are you okay? God, can you kill that many bandits alone? How great are you."

What'd he say? I was trapped by someone!

"There's archers around here. Careful, Clem!"

"Woman? Oh, that's Hugo. He's one of my group friends."

Wait, his groupmate? You mean the male adventurer with the crossbow?

"Well, well, I'm so scared to see you slaughter them all so fast. That big shield didn't even dare to come out before I crippled you." Someone came back from behind the trees. It was the man with the crossbow I meant. Was he the one who shot me?

"What does this mean? Where's Momo?" 

"Momo's? We've given them to the bandits." Clem replied with a cheerful tone as usual.

"Give it to the bandits? Whatchu mean?"

"You got into our trap, Riel. We are working with the bandits to kidnap the girls in the city, then we will be rewarded according to their number and quality. Profitable, right?" Obviously the spear is squeaky.

What the fuck? I was framed by them? I was tricked into working together to raid the bandit headquarters, and instead got into their plans?

They disguised themselves as a group of adventurers, but they kidnapped the girls in the city for the bandits.

No, this is not according to my plan. What are they gonna do to me now?

"Well, finally caught up with you. I didn't expect this girl to have killed my friends so easily." Some bandits approached us. They were the five people who chased me into the forest.

"Oh, how is this, bandit master. You've suffered a lot of losses because your people are dead, is our transaction still viable?" Ask Hugo.

"Just calm. Your catch is a magical cat girl and a great human girl. They would definitely be very expensive if sold."

Sold?

Me and Momo are going to be sold by them?

No, this can't happen to me. I need to get out of this place immediately.

"Gyaaah!!" 

Clem pulled out the arrow that pierced my thigh violently. Blood poured out from the arrow wound on my thigh.

"Congratulations, Riel. It turns out your price will be very high on the market." Whisper Clem.

You're insolent... Be sweet in front just to cheat and sell us to the bandits. Aakkhh.

"This is your pay, two million Nira." The bandit handed Hugo two bags of money, and he accepted them with great happiness.

"Wait, this isn't in accordance with the agreement?"

"Of course there's compensation for my fallen people. Next time you have to quickly hand over the catch without needing that kind of drama again."

"Yes, how else. Capturing rare prey needs more struggle."

"Bodo time. Now go and find the next one."

"All right." Hugo handed over his money bag to the others to carry. They started leaving me with the bandits here.

"See you, Riel. I hope you get a rich buyer." Clem waved at me.

They've all left and left me with these bandits.

No, please don't leave me. What will these bandits do to me? I fear they did something evil to me.

"Well, let's see the catch."

Hii!!

The bandit grabbed my neck and brought my face closer to her. The breath of smell from his mouth was very smelling and torturing my nose

"I beg you, let me go..."

"HAA!!"

Buk up!

"Geek!!"

"You just shut up and come with us to the base. In the near future we will send you to another kingdom for sale. HAHAAHA!!!"

No, someone help me.

Shin, where are you? I'm sorry for not following your words.

Clara, please save me. I fear being treated badly by them. Anyone, help me.

Older brother...

Buk up!
