"Hmm...they said the enemies we were going to face were going to be strong adventurers but...this? this is disappointing" A two-headed ogre walked out of the bushes, he was 10 feet high and wielded a wooden club.
"You're right boss, these are just small fries, they're not even worth the dirt underneath your feet" a troll arrived beside the ogre
"Hehehe, they've got fine women though...hehe, boss mind if I take the elf? I've always wanted to know how far my tongue will reach inside of her hehe" a half man half dog beastman laughed while shamelessly showing his long tongue that reaches up to his chest.
It was only three enemies, I was confident but Rick and the others have tense faces.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked, it would be bad if they're not confident on winning
"Those guys are well-known bandits, I don't know why they joined the demon alliance though" Rick replied while forcing his shaking arm to calm down
"What are they called?" I was a bit curious so I asked
"Bandito Triad" Ricard forced to say those words
Bandito Triad? what kind of name is that? anyway, I have to boost their confidence
"Who is your leader?" I took a step forward and asked with my nose pointed at the sky
"Huh? this human is quite arrogant" the troll sized me up
"Lyan, what are you doing?" Rick tried to stop me
"I am their boss!" The two-headed ogre pointed at himself
"Then, why don't we have a one-on-one match?" I replied as I looked him as if he was a clown
"Yes, why don't we have a one-on-one match" The ogre didn't like my stare and replied with anger
"Well, your move, ogre" I took a stance with my postured lowered and with my hands on Azazel if I'm not mistaken, it's a stance called Iai
"Don't mind if I do!" The ogre started running towards me, each step he took made the ground thud
I didn't move from my spot as I patiently anticipated the next move he will make, the ogre entered my striking range but I didn't move. He swung his heavy club downwards but I moved to the side to dodge it and unleashed a quick strike on his waist. Contrary to my expectations, he managed to move to the side to evade it. My blade made a small cut on his waist, I understood why he managed to evade it, the other head concentrates on attack while the other concentrates on defense. They got good teamwork but can they beat my speed?
'Lilith, what are my available modes?' I forgot to check the abilities DK can use
'Rush mode, Strength mode, Stealth mode, Armor mode, Energy Absorption mode'
Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
I can use all of DK's enhancements, this is good.
'Lilith, activate Armor mode'
'Request acknowledged' After Lilith's voice fell, I felt DK harden as a notification popped up on my screen
'Each hit taken will decrease DK's energy depending on the strength of the attack, please remember that this will only reduce the damage taken by 85%'
The notification disappeared as the Ogre swung down his club on my head but I only raised my hand to take the block the attack.
DK's energy went down from 69% to 68.9%, the ogre's attack is quite weak...
The ogre did not expect this and tried to yank his club back but failed to do so, he was annoyed so he used both hands. I released the club which made to ogre to land on his butt, I didn't miss this chance and beheaded the ogre's two head. The troll and the beastman were surprised by the death of their leader, they tried to flee but Fujo and Rick blocked their paths.
"These guys seem less scary now..." Rick laughed as he played with the ogre's head that I tossed
"Are these even the Bandito Triad?" Fujo pondered
"What did you say earlier?" Liralei had a blooming smile as she aimed her bow at the beastman
Cynthia was quiet but she mockingly stared at the troll and beastman.
"W-We give up!" the Troll was first to speak
"Nope" Fujo punched the Troll's face, the Troll's face caved in while Fujo checked his knuckles.
"That thing's face is thick..." seems like Fujo also took damage from that punch
"FUCK IT" seeing his friend get punched unconscious, the beastman took out a small knife and ran towards Rick.
Rick anticipated his next move and quickly took out his rapier, Liralei also knew what the beastman would do so before the beastman could reach Rick, an arrow already impaled his knee. Rick didn't miss this chance and kept stabbing the beastman with his rapier, Liralei sent the killing blow by shooting an arrow at the mouth of the beastman. The Troll, on the other hand, was turned into a punching bag by Fujo, the exp bubbles from the Bandito Triad came out and was evenly distributed.
"I'll hide their heads, you guys take care of the bodies" Rick started beheading the Troll and the beastman
"Got it, Fujo carried the headless body of the Ogre and the Troll while I dragged the beastman by his foot
"Why did Rick take the heads of these guys?" I asked Fujo who was making a deep pit with his bare hands
"These guys actually have a bounty of 10 gold coins and the guild that presents their head receives 10 guild points" Fujo explained
"Guild points?" I didn't read any of these in the booklet that Lea handed out
"Guild points are like a grading system for guilds, the more guild points the guild has, the higher their rank is.
100 guild points = E class guild, the lowest
150 guild points = D class
250 guild points = C class
500 guild points = B class
1000 guild points = A class
2000 guild points = S class
Most of the missions posted only award money but subjugation some subjugation quests actually reward you with guild points, but these quests must be approved by the United Guild Association. The United Guild Association or UGA is an Alliance of the top 10 Guilds, all of them are S class Guilds" Fujo scribbled on the ground
"But what if there are no missions with guild points posted?" I asked as I shoved the bodies in the pit
"There's another way, it's called 'Guild Clash'. It's like a Guild vs. Guild kind of thing where there are three choices :
1: Representative vs. Representative, the guild must choose their representative wherein they fight on the Arena
2: All out: The guild will send out all of their members in an all-out clash, however, if one guild has more members, then they must reduce their numbers in order to match the other guild's number
3: Guild Master vs. Guild Master: It's like the first choice but this time the Guild master's must fight
The Guild points that the guild receives will depend on a prior agreement wherein the Guild will stake in their own guild points, remember your last match with that Rolo? you could've received some points for the win but you didn't have any agreement on how much so it doesn't count"
"Oh! thanks for explaining" I thanked Fujo as he buried the bodies
"It's nothing" Fujo waved his hands as we walked back to camp
