Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On this trip, Zoro and Charles had also wanted very much to find this group of bandits to take revenge for Lily’s parents. They could not find them no matter how hard they searched on the first night, and they had not gone out to search for them on the second night. They did not expect to find them so easily

after having searched high and low for them. The other party had delivered themselves to their door.

Zoro had thought that they were just a group of ordinary bandits, but unexpectedly, these bandits had also been infected with the strange disease like those wild beasts.

Zoro took a closer look and realized that the tall and well-built bandit, who had just spoken, was covered in boils on the right side of his face; the skin had completely rotted, and even the gums and teeth could be seen. He looked very scary.

The other bandits were also full of boils on their faces and bodies. Their skin had varying degrees of decay. What puzzled Zoro was that they actually had the aura of a Mage on them.

From what Aaron had said previously, if they were infected with the disease, it would be impossible for them to survive. How could they still become a Mage in these two years?

Could all this have been premeditated? After all, the crazy wild beasts, the suddenly infected village, and this group of abnormal banditsa€} All this could be more dangerous than he had thought.

“Catch them!” Before Zoro and the others could make the first move, the bandit gave the order and more than ten bandits rushed towards them.

Furthermore, the leader of the bandits had actually wanted to capture them, not kill them. They had not used their bows and arrows, and it seemed that he wanted to capture them alive.

At this moment, when Charles saw how arrogant the bandits were, he could not wait any longer to kill them. Before the bandits charged over, Charles planned to dash to the leader of the bandits and kill him in one strike.

But before Charles could get there, a large man had blocked his path, and was chopping down on him with a large machete.

Charles’ expression was grave, but there seemed to be wind beneath his feet. He dodged the attack of the machete, swinging his longsword in his hand concurrently. Within a second, the head of the bandit hit the ground and rolled several meters away.

After he had killed a bandit, Charles dashed directly to the front of the bandit leader, intending to kill him directly.

However, the alertness of the bandit leader surpassed Charles’ expectations. The two of them fought for a few rounds, but despite this, the bandit leader was far from being Charles’s match.

Charles did not have much time to fight him. Seeing the situation of Kathleen and Zoro, he got ready to end the battle quickly.

Actually, Charles had already sensed that this bandit’s cultivation base was much higher than the other bandits. He had already reached level-5 of the innate realm, much higher than him.

However, the bandit leader had one thing in common with the other bandits, which was that he did not know how to utilize his cultivation base at all.

Charles dodged and went swiftly behind the bandit leader. Before the other party had time to react, he was already split into two.

‘When the other bandits saw that their leader had been killed, they all seemed to have gone berserk. Their eyes became even redder than before, and their behavior became even crazier.

They surrounded Charles and Zoro and kept attacking.

Looking at all this, Kathleen kept her guard up as she protected Lily from being frightened by the sight.

suddenly, a few bandits gave up on Zoro and Charles. They probably saw that they were too strong, and they were not a match for them, so they turned their attention to a woman and a child.

However, Kathleen was not to be trifled with. Although this was her first outing and also her first kill, Kathleen did not hesitate at all, especially after she had recalled how they had killed Lily’s parents.

‘Lily, hide quietly in the tent. Don’t come out no matter what sounds come from outside. When I’m done with these bandits and have avenged you, you can come out again, alright?” Kathleen quickly settled Lily down, afraid that she would be harmed by the bandits.

Lily was also very sensible. She quickly got into the tent and sat on the ground, hugging her knees tightly.

There were not many bandits on Kathleen’s side, so it was resolved in a few minutes.

On the other side, Zoro kept holding back the bandits who were trying to attack Kathleen. He fought against many bandits alone, but he was not at a disadvantage at all.

It did not take long before he killed five to six bandits.

The other bandits realized that it was impossible to attack by brute force, so they got ready to use their wits to shoot arrows in Charles’s direction. However, how could mere arrows stump Charles?

Charles had been known for his speed all along, Not only had he dodged the many arrows that had been shot at him with ease, he had also killed those who fired them before they could react.

As for Zoro, there was naturally no need to even say more. With his strength, he could treat dealing with these puny bandits as a form of practice. He definitely had the upper hand.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!” The enemy’s screams could be heard constantly between the flashes of the blade and the shadows of the sword. With the screams and the bloodshot eyes, they looked completely different from their earlier arrogance.

Soon after the battle started, Charles had discovered the weakness of the bandits. They were most vulnerable at the parts of their bodies that had the boils.

After discovering this unique characteristic, Charles used his swift footwork to attack the boils on their bodies continuously. The screams of the bandits became more frequent. They would lose the prowess of their attack the moment they were struck at the parts of their bodies with the boils. In just a few

rounds, four to five bandits had been killed.

However, everything changed after Zoro cut off one of the enemy’s arms. Not only did the danger not decrease, it increased instead.

After the severed arm fell to the ground, it instantly exploded, generating a ball of energy which erupted in the air and hit Zoro, who had been unprepared.

Zoro was instantly sent flying more than ten meters away. When Zoro was in the air, he tried hard to gain control. After he plunged his longsword into the ground, he managed to stabilize himself, but he still slid along the ground for a few meters before coming to a stop. From this, it could be seen how

powerful the arm was.

Not only that, when he landed on the ground, a splash of red appeared on his face, and blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Thereafter, Charles discovered that those before him were completely different from before. They had become like zombies, with no sense of pain. The energy generated by their bodies was also dozens of times stronger than before.

The person missing an arm did not seem to have any reaction at all. It was as if the severed arm was not his. He stood up and walked unsteadily toward Charles. As he walked, he said, “What a useless bunch of things. In the end, I still have to do this myself.”
