As I walked through the forest, I thought about the 4 exercises from my dream. 'They seed easy at first but when I actually tried them out, those things were not only difficult but also dangerous' I thought. Although I could die as many tis as I wanted in that dream, there was a price to pay for that as well.
I was lost in my thoughts as I walked. After a while, I arrived at the camp and placed my bag down. I then heard a familiar voice speaking to from behind. "We et again, friend". When I turned around, I noticed it was the group of people that I encountered a while back.
I said "Is there anything you need?" and the guy smiled while saying "Your information was really useful to us this ti. It's a sha you lied to us". I looked at the guy who spoke and said "I didn't lie, if you found those creatures, then that ans I told the truth". The guy just laughed and said "I'm not talking about the creatures, I'm talking about the man we were searching for". He then continued "We found him and he also told us everything. He didn't even budge when we asked him about you. He told us what you guys did and even went to extend to tell us about your skills".
I wasn't impressed. The guy I t that day was a coward. I covered for his ass to give him so ti to escape, I wasn't expecting loyalty from him. I said slowly to the guy "And? I did try to cover for his sorry ass. Does that change anything? You are a pile of bones walking around, if you want to die so badly… make your move".
The guy obviously didn't expect that as he seed a bit shocked. I added "I'm just curious. How did you manage to track ? You should have a special thod to do so, I assu". I didn't hear an answer but I heard so movents from behind . I said to him "Even if you try to surround , you will all die". The guy in front of was now visibly shocked. He asked "Who are you?"
I smirked and said "Soone you should not ss with. I don't know stuff like rcy. When half of you die and you would like to surrender, I will still kill you". Before the guy could say anything else I asked "Should I show you?". I didn't wait for an answer as my hand flashed. The guy behind that was trying to sneak attack, got two new holes in his body. I said "This is an example of what I can do and now? All of you die" as the lifeless corpse fell down behind .
The guy in front of was not only shocked, there was fear in his eyes. I didn't have many daggers left therefore I opted to use close combat as the ans to kill. I sprinted forwards to attack the leader standing in front of . He didn't expect my acceleration and because he was quite close to , I caught up to him in an instant. I passed right next to him and stopped. He tried to rotate his head backwards but his neck was already cut.
I said to him "I told you, you will all die". I then sprinted towards my next target. In overall there were 5 people there. Two already died and other 3 were nearby, also trying to ambush . Of course due to the situation, things changed a bit. One of them was not stupid enough to just sit there staring, he begun to run. I caught up to him and slashed his back. The strength I possesed was not sothing to be toyed with. That slash alone almost separated the guy in half. 'If I used a sword instead of a dagger, there would be two halves laying on the ground instead of intact corpse' I thought and speed towards my other targets.
They finally woke up from their shock and started to run. It was still useless. My speed was much better than theirs and it didn't matter what skills they had. My strength alone allowed to dispose of them very easily. When I arrived in front of a woman this ti, she pleaded to spare her life but as I already said "No one will survive" and killed her. The last guy was actually quite crafty and hid himself. Good thinking but he forgot that I also knew the Art of Stealth. If soone wanted to hide in front of , they would have to be at a similar level that Nick was.
I found him and killed him as well. All was done. The middle aged man I t while traveling north died because he was a coward. These people died because they thought being a part of so large organisation ans they are invincible. 'I avoided conflict whenever possible, yet these people still looked for their doom. I wonder why? Maybe that is why Nick forbade to go into cities and villages?' I thought.
I searched for my daggers that I threw at the guy trying to ambush and then looted the corpses. They had loads of stuff on them. Each had at least one bag that functioned the sa way as mine did. 'No wonder they gave one, They had loads of them'. The leader guy had 3 of them alone. I didn't find anything concerning the Flaming Silver Wolf or the Flaming Grey Bear. 'They must've lied about finding those beasts, they wouldn't be alive if they did try to fight them. Even I would have difficulties fighting one of them' I thought.
They did indeed find the man that carried a large sword, they did kill him as well. To prove it, they had his head in the bag as well as his sword. I took out the sword, it was quite heavy but with my current strength, it was nothing major. I swingged it couple of tis 'It's nothing amazing, it does weight a bit. They must've been as strong as him in order to kill him but I'm much stronger than I was in the past' I thought and placed the sword down while taking a look at other things.
There were no books or manuals of any sort. I was a bit disappointed, I wanted to find out how were they able to track but it didn't matter, they died anyway. I also found sothing familiar. 'So they also have those emblems of so sort. I wonder what type of thing this represents. All of them had the sa emblem, except the leader guy' I thought. The emblems depicted an eye half closed on a grey background. It was probably the sign of the group that was chasing the guy with the heavy sword.
The leader's badge was a bit different. Besides showing the eye, it also showed a tear drop coming from the eye. The badge was still grey. This probably ant he was a mber with better position compared to the others. I took the leaders badge and threw the rest of them into a bag that I emptied. 'I don't want to carry all that clutter with for no apparent reason. I will use one of those bags to store all those useless objects and throw it away sowhere' I thought.
I started sorting through all the things that seed useless and threw them into the bag, one after the other.
