Chapter 119 Brutal


    Understanding Aleshia''s intention to learn the adventurer''s skill, Lucia cut off the mana supplying the spell without saying anything, and returned to observing the battle.


    Moments later, the bandit released the arrow from his bow. As it whizzed through the air, the adventurer dodged it by dashing to the side. He looked to where the arrow landed and quickly swiveled his head in the opposing direction, scanning the area for the bowman.


    The adventurer''s mouth curved into a smirk, and his eyes gleamed as if he had found his prey. He casually rotated the dagger in his hand, gripping the blade instead of the handle, and flung it toward where he presumed the bowman to be.


    With a thunk and a cry, the adventurer knew he had struck his mark. The wails of the bowman bandit echoed through the forest, masking the rustling and hurried footsteps that fled the scene. The adventurer picked up the remaining dagger on the ground and threw it at the fleeing bandit. However, since he didn''t know the bandit''s exact location, the dagger struck the bandit''s leg instead of its intended target. The bandit''s cry of pain betrayed his position, making it clear to the adventurer where he was hiding.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    The adventurer picked up his fallen sword, casually slung it onto his belt, and ran toward the bushes where the bowman was, and the fleeing bandit had been. He passed the bowman without a second glance.


    As the adventurer ran deeper into the forest, Aleshia remarked, "That was brutal, wasn''t it?" She timidly backed away from him, even though she was hiding in a tree and cloaked in camouflage.


    "I suppose the man has his stance on bandits or at least those who seek to attack him," Lucia said grimly.


    "Maybe I should adopt that perspective, or you could assist me in making such a judgment if the need arises," Aleshia suggested, watching the bowman bandit struggle to pull the dagger from his chest.


    A minute later, Aleshia heard the screams of the bandit being chased by the adventurer, and she chose not to look in that direction for a while. The bowman bandit, upon hearing his companion''s screams, quickly picked up speed and managed to dislodge the dagger from his chest, muffling his cries of pain.


    Just as the bandit thought he had escaped the adventurer, he heard the adventurer''s voice behind him. "Who sent you? I might spare you if you answer."
