On their way back. Leo is thinking how should he deal with those adventurers. He knew that they will come back here for revenge.
[Hmmm... How can I deal with them? I'm still weak. Should I just sneak attacked them while their resting?]
Leo's thought are running wild and before he knew it. He was already carried by his father back to their house. It still noon and his father still need to hunt some wild animals for the whole village.
"I hope they won't come back." (Nelia)
"Don't worry. With me here they won't be able to do anything!" (Ark)
Ark said with strong voice.
"I know you can defeat them, Ark. But what will we do if they attacked us while you're not here?" (Nelia)
"Don't worry. The village chief should have already know what to do. Okay. I'm off! I'll be back as fast as I could!" (Ark)
Ark assured Nelia that nothing will happen then left.
Nelia watch his back till he got out of her sight then looked at Leo.
"Don't worry Leo. Mama will protect you" (Nelia)
Nelia smiled at Leo then started her work too.
Leo was left again inside of his crib alone. Stil thinking how to eliminate the adventurers.
[Okay. I will hunt them tonight then kill them. It would be easy to track them down with my knowledge and search magic. The problem is, how? I'm no match to them, after all I'm just a 1 year old brat.]
Leo was still brainstorming when he noticed what he just said.
[Search magic? Oh yeah! I could still use the magic I knew in my previous life! Even though. I'm not good in other attributed magic, search magic is one of the basics. Then that's mean, I can enhance my body with magic, right?]
Magic body enhancement.
It's a basic spell that can be used by everyone. It's an attributeless magic and easy to use. One just need to cast the spell to enhance their muscles with magic. Then the mana used on magic body enhancement will force the muscle to exert a strength beyond their original capacity. But only a few adventurers use this because of its side effects. Once the magic body enhancement effects dissipate. The user will experience extreme muscle pain.
[Yeah. I should put that in consideration too. Or maybe...]
Leo thought of something and tried it immediately.
He cast the magic body enhancement, then feel his mana go through every muscles in his body. Because he was depleting his mana since he is one month old. His mana capacity is already beyond the norm. His mana is much more thicker than the regular mana should an adult magician should possess too. So the effect of his magic is much more intense than his previous life.
While the magic was still enhancing his body, he casted his healing magic and try to fuse it to the attributeless mana of the magic body enhancement.
But when his healing attribute mana and attributeless mana met in his veins and muscles. They didn't fuse or mixed with each other, but at the same time the two attributes didn't reject or accept each other. Like the yin and yang.
Now, coursing through his veins and muscles are two mana of different attributes complementing each other.
The attributeless mana was forcing his muscle to exert strength beyond its capabilities, causing some of his muscle tissue to ripped, while the healing attribute mana was healing those injuries.
[Oh, a new discovery! Who would have thought thisbis plausible! I hope, with this. I can negate the side effects of the body enhancement.]
Leo maintain his magic body enhancement for 5 minutes then cancelled it. Readying himself for the side effects. But, after sometime he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.
[Hahahaha! It worked!]
Leo laugh evilly hard after this experiment. If someone saw him right now. They will see a cute baby laughing happily.
[Hey. Can you just... Hah~ nevermind. Now I can totally fight evenly with them I hope. But now. We wait.]
---
In the middle of the night in the middle of forest. 4 people and 1 beast sitting around of a campfire.
"Fuck! After my hand heal's. I will fucking kill that bastard! No! I won't kill him! I will cut his limbs and rape his wife in front of him!" (Bald man)
"What's wrong with that village! Haaa... I just want to sleep in a bed. This is your fault, you two. If you just used your head and not your dicks we probably lying in some comfy bed! Not here in the middle of evil forest!" (Elf man)
"Hmp. I know you want to taste a woman too! So don't like you're not interested!" (Magician guy)
"Shut up you fools. Just focus on healing Hageshi's hand. Then we will back to that village. Cast an area sleeping spell, then kill them! They thought they can just embarrass us just like that?! Hehehe. Let's see." (Scar face)
While they are talking and planning on how to destroy the village that humiliated them. They heard a rustle on some nearby bushes.
They immediately got on their guards and stare at the bush. After sometime, a scared 1 year old baby emerge within the bushes.
"Eh? What the hell a kid doing here?" (Bald man)
"Did he get lost?" (Magician guy)
"Hey, Ain't he the one beside that girl? Its her child right?" (Elf guy)
"Lucky! Hehehe~ hey there kid. Come with us. Its dangerous there. There might be monster there!" (Scar face)
The 'scared' baby just looked at them as if he was stiffened scared and can't move.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
"Oh. Are you scared? Don't worry. We will protect you and guide you back to your house! Don't be scared, we're good guys." (Bald man)
The bald man slowly approach the kid with caring smile. As if the baby was convinced that their not a bad guy. He allowed himself to be picked by the bald man.
"Ohh.. what a cute baby. Hehehe" (Bald Man)
"Hehehe... We should revise our plan. Hehehe.. I wonder what they will looked like if they see their kid is in our hands. Mihihiji...hehehehe..hahahahahaha! (Scar face)
The scar face man laugh evilly. The magician and the elf just looked at him, not caring what will he do to the baby.
But when the scar face man while still laughing. A round object was thrown at his direction. He catched it and fiercely looked at the direction where the round object came from.
What he saw dumbfounded him.
There, a headless body was still holding a baby on his arm. Blood splurting on its neck where the head should be. The baby is also holding a bloody dagger on his hands. This dagger is big for him and looked like a sword when he hold it.
Scar face looked at his hand and he realized what he was holding right now.
It's the hairless head of his companion!
While still dimbfounded. The baby suddenly use the headless body who's still holding him as a platform to jump directly to the dumbfounded magician. When he arrived in front of the magician, he directly stabbed the dagger on the center of the magician's forehead, then he swipe it up with great force.
Thump.
Thump.
Two bodies fall at the same time.
The elf man still can't comprehend what happened. It just happened so fast, and it was done by a kid. He couldn't believe it. But what he know, is he need to run right now!
"Aaaahhhhh!!! Ruun!" (Elf man)
He turned and run while screaming as if it could power up his legs to run more faster.
"Pleashe don'tsh rwun. Jusht shtay here and shleep forever." (Leo)
But before he could leave, a cute voice of a child rang to his ear. The baby, Leo, suddenly throw the dagger on his hands with great force to the elf guy.
The elf guy suddenly felt a huge force suddenly struck his back. He was about to go down but managed to stomp his feet to stop falling. But even though he successfuly stopped himself from falling. He noticed that his chest now has a gapping hole where his heart is. Then he heard something struck the tree several meters in front of him.
There, a bloody dagger got stucked in the tree. After he realized he fucked up. He fell down.
"Wha.. what the hell? What are you! Fuck im gonna kill you!" (Scar face)
Scar face took out his whip and attacked Leo with it while commanding his wolf to attack the Leo too. The wolf charge to Leo with a jump.
"Whoa.. I didn't think that my throw is that powerful!" (Leo)
While amazed by himself, he still didn't fail to notice what the scar face is doing. He dodge the whip then took out another dagger from his back while charging to the wolf.
While the wolf was still on the aqir, Leo charge through below it, then point his dagger upward where the heart of the wolf is located, then he jumped!
The wolf and Leo fly upward. Then before falling, Leo, took out his dagger then throw it with all his strength toward scar face. But the moment he throw the dagger to scar face.
Snap!
He heard his right shoulder dislocated because.
[Ow! The hell! I dislocated my shoulder!]
As for scar face. He already saw Leo throw his dagger towards him and ready to dodge. But the moment the dagger leave Leo's hand.
It vanished.
Then...
BANG!!!!
He heard a loud bang just behind him and great a wind blow's from his back with some debris in it.
"What was that? Was that the dagger?! He missed? What's wrong with this kid! I need to run!" (Scar face)
Thud..
Scar face was about to run. But after the loud bang he heard behind him. It followed with a sound of light thud beside him. Curious what it is, he slowly turn his head to the side. There, he saw his entire right limb on the ground!
"Eh?" (Scar face)
Not expecting to see his limb in the ground. He stiffened and couldn't process to his brain what happened.
Thud.
Another thud resounded in front of him and saw his wolf lying in the pool of blood, dead. Atop of its body is Leo, who used it as a cushion.
"Hi there bwig bwother!" (Leo)
Leo called scar face with a refreshing smile. A refreshing smile just like a good will kid saying hi to his neighbors.
But when scar face saw this smile, he started shaking.
"De-de-demon!" (Scar face)
Scar face thought. In his point of view. The one smiling at him is a large shadow demon with sinister smile on its face.
Bullets of sweat started to appear all over his body. Then-
Step.. step.. step...
Leo walk slowly towards scar face while keeping his smile.
"Hey, bwig bwother. Aren't chu hurt? Should I heal you?" (Leo)
"Hiieeeieieieieierie!" (Scar face)
Scar face screamed stumbled then fall to his butt. Trying to crawl backwards just to put some distance to this demon child!
"Go awaaay! Demooon!! Go awaaay!!" (Scar face)
Scar face started screaming. When his back hit a tree. He use his left hand to grab some rocks lying besides him to throw to Leo.
"Hey. Bwig bwither. Aren't chu mean! Who are you calling demon?! Can't chu shee I'm a kid with a nicshe ssmile?!" (Leo)
"Demon! Demon! Demon! Hhiieeee!!!!!" (Scar face)
"Eh.... Try to call me demon again, I'll kill you immediately!" (Leo)
Leo said with cold tone. Being called a demon, this got on his nerves.
Hearing his voice as if it came from the abyss, scar face shut his mouth with his remaining hand.
[Damn. Don't you know I'm sensitive toward that word!]
In his previous life. Having a nickname in battlefield is like an honor. As for Leo, even though his skill as a mercenary is average that won't deserve him a nickname. Still, everyone in his mercenary group still gave him a nickname 'demon' because not of his skill. But because of his face!
Whenever he walked to the streets, all people who saw his face got immediately scared then run. Others will directly faint. Even the guards tried to avoid him!
As for the reason he got this nickname? His face is always stern and full of scar! He is the true scar face!
[OY! Shut the fuck up punk! Don't fucking talk about it again!]
Leo angrily said.
"Haaah~ hey, big brother. I won't kill you today. But, I have a favor to ask you. If you satisfy me with your answer. Maybe, I'll let you off. Okay?" (Leo)
Seeing this. Scar face still didn't remove his hand to his mouth but vigorously nodded.
"Oh. You're easy to talk. Well then. Can you teach me beast taming?" (Leo)
Scar face still nodded vigorously.
"Okay! Then teach me now!" (Leo)
As if not hearing Leo, scar face just sill nod his head vigorously. Seeing this, Leo walked to the dagger that got stucked to the tree then pulled it out. Then he walked back towards scar face.
"I'm sorry big brother. But you won't be able to teach me if you don't remove your hand to your mouth... Let me help you!" (Leo)
Leo suddenly raised his dagger then slashed it vertically towards scar face shoulder!
Thud.
Scar face remaining arm got severed with a single slash.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" (Scar face)
"Hahaha. Don't worry big brother! You won't die! I know healing magic! I'll stop the blood! Though It won't be able regrow your arm~" (Leo)
Leo cast his healing magic to scar face, and both severed shoulder of scarface stopped bleeding. He can't feel any pain at all.
"Now talk" (Leo)
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Beast taming right?! I know! I know! I'll teach you! Don't kill meeee!!!" (Scar face)
"Good!" (Leo)
Scar face started to talk. But he talked so fast and while screaming too, that Leo can't even understand what he was saying.
"I can't understand you, if you talk fast like that you know? Good thing you still have a pair of legs!" (Leo)
Leo suddenly severed scar face left leg then healed him immediately.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I'm sorry!!! Let me go!!!!! I haven't done anything wrong to you!!!!!!!! Why are you doing this to me!!!!!!!" (Scar face)
"You say that but I heard you planning doing something not nice to my village you know? And you even put your perverted eyes in my mother you know? So be glad I haven't killed you even though you did all of that you know? As of why I'm doing this? Because you talk to fast I cant understand a thing!" (Leo)
Gulp!
Scar face gulped loudly and stared at Leo with disbelieve. After staring at Leo. He managed to calm down a bit and try his best to maintain it.
"O-okay. I'm sorry! I'll teach you what I know but please don't kill me and escort me back to other village! Please!" (Scar face)
"Oh. You still have guts for negotiation. What? You think if I don't agree to you you won't teach me and commit suicide?" (Leo)
"Yes! Please!" (Scar face)
"Ho ho ho. You can't kill yourself. I can heal you whenever I want to. And I have hundred ways to torture you, you know? Want to try it? Big brother?" (Leo)
Leo said while smiling and at the same time, not smiling.
After seeing this. Scar face gave up and tell Leo everything he knows. He already know even Leo spared him. He won't be able to survive here in this evil forest with his 3 limbs gone. But he also knew he won't be able to commit suicide in front of Leo. So he just accepted his fate and prayed that Leo will kill him after this. It's better for him to die immediately, than to experience the torture Leo's talking about.
