Rin left smiling from the last tent, it seems that the loot had been quite good, anyway cultivating with her would open the acupuncture points in a few months.
"This time we were lucky enough, we got 12 silver coins, and 40 bronze coins, they also had several cores from beasts that we can use to grow, there are some cultivation manuals that we can sell when we are in the city, I have already recorded everything in your badge, along with part of the fight, so we should have no problem claiming the rewards. " Rin informed.
"Perfect, we'll use the cores when we get to the point of the next mission, we should take the tent and move quickly, the smell of blood is quite strong," I said with a worried tone, I was afraid that we were in danger because of our overconfidence.
"Let's move quickly, our next point is 2 days on foot, if we have enough money we should buy a saddle ..." Rin sighed as she ran towards the tent, her speed as a wolf was incredible.
We spent two days, although I absorbed Qi when I walked, I could only open another 2 acupuncture points, the speed could not be compared to the dedicated training. We did not have any incident, all the way was very quiet, when we camped I could not resist asking Rin about the objective of extermination this time.
"The objective of extermination this time is not dangerous, but maybe it can affect you emotionally ..." Rin sighed.
"Do not worry, I'm more mature than you think, I look like a 10-year-old boy, but I've lived two lives ..." I hit my chest with confidence, I could not curl up, I'm Rin's only support, and I must be as reliable as possible.
"You have to massacre a village of human bandits, and this includes women and children who are not imprisoned, those who are imprisoned can free them or take them to the city to get more money, but it will be a problem to take them, I prefer to release them. " Finally Rin said.
"How many are they, and when will we attack?" I asked curiously, I did not feel sorry for murdering humans, on Earth humans constantly killed animals, and among themselves, maybe killing a woman or a child, if it was a big shock in my mind, but I knew that they were guilty for being allies of the bandits, or at least I wanted to lean on that thought to not feel guilty.
"In the mission report said that there were 20 bandits, maybe there could be some more, but because of the size of his village, the information should be correct, we will attack in the evening, they will have less energy and their night vision is null," Rin replied she seemed sure it was going to be easy.
"Then tomorrow we will cultivate throughout the day?" I asked excitedly, in one day concentrating on absorbing Qi I was confident to open several points.
"Yes, I need to advance in my cultivation, the more acupuncture points I fill with elemental energy, the quicker I can cast my spells, and its power will improve. I am confident in opening 60 acupuncture points if you attract your maximum capacity," replied Rin.
I was stunned for a moment, damn it 60 acupuncture points. I'm useless and I did not know?
"My acupuncture points are not as big as yours, it also does not increase the difficulty as more points I have open, those are the differences, let's go to sleep, tomorrow will be a very interesting day," Rin replied again, it seems that she had detected my frustration.
I never imagined that I could absorb so much energy, throughout the day I managed to open 5 acupuncture points, incredible, the more acupuncture points Rin opened, the more pure energy was around me, she managed to open 52 acupuncture points, incredible, had 145 in total. Little by little we were restored until our peak condition, we expected a bloody battle.
"It's time to leave, this time we're going to go in immediately, annihilate first all the people who have a weapon in their hands, start channeling all the Qi that you can, I will use the matrix of 5 elements, the tactic is the same, kill and I will support you if we can do it in stealth will be safer, I will add a night vision matrix, it will help you see better, but it is not a great advantage. " Rin said, her blue eyes in the night gave me chills.
It seems that Rin has received a fairly deep training in the Imperial City, maybe she knows everything thanks to the legacy, well anyway, I can always ask her. When Rin put both matrices in my back I had the feeling of overflowing with energy, we ran wildly towards the village, it had no walls so getting in was easy.
Oh, I do not hear my own footsteps, it must be Rin, it's amazing everything I can do, I should first kill the guards, so I can save myself from being surrounded, the guards all had a fairly basic steel sword, they did not use armor, So the spear pierced their bodies quickly, I preferred to choose to pierce their head, they would not make noise and it would be less painful.
"We've already killed 6 guards, there should not be too many warriors ..." I muttered I did not know where to go now.
"Go to the biggest tent, if we can kill the boss the mission is already done, there should be a few guards too .." Rin ordered
When we got to the largest tent we could only hear moans, it seems that we arrived at a delicate moment, but the result was not going to change, I killed the two guards that were in the entrance, and I went inside, Rin approached.
Inside the tent, there was a stocky man next to two women in bed, it seems that he was not wasting his time, I made a diagonal blow, this depraved one did not deserve to keep his head, it flew and fell on top of one of the Girls, they were screaming loudly, but Rin managed to silence them using wind magic.
"If you keep on shouting, you will follow the same fate, how many warriors there are in the camp and what your identities are if I notice a lie I will torture you," I said decisively, maybe I had seen too many movies, but the boss's head on the bed terrified them too much, Rin stopped silencing their voices.
"Young master we ask for mercy, we are slaves who picked up these bandits in the last looting." One of the girls said.
"What did the bandits plunder and how many prisoners did they get?" I asked without giving him time to continue talking.
Immediately I cut her head, I knew that she was lying, her eyes doubted and she was slow to respond. She was cooperating with the bandit to rape the girl lying on the bed.
"Your turn, do not lie or you know your destiny," I said shortly.
"I am a slave who was kidnapped from a caravan of merchants, only women were taken away, the others killed them all, they brought 12 women, but only 2 remain alive, there are 32 warriors in this village, but perhaps I have counted badly ... "The girl said as she put up with the urge to throw up.
"Rin, tie her up, I think she's telling the truth," I said, I did not want to kill innocents.
"Silly, if you tell the truth I was just testing if you're as trustworthy as you said, you do not need to tie her up, just tell her not to move from here, and let's finish the job, the most effective is to go from tent to tent. " Rin proposed, she always did an intelligent analysis, so I had no reason to follow another plan.
And the massacre ended, there were really 34 warriors, 20 women and 5 children who lost their lives tonight, I knew that my hands were stained with blood, but it was the only thing that awaited me on this road, at least we managed to save 18 men who They were chained, 24 women, and two children. We all meet them in the boss's tent.
"You are all free, I hope you have better luck this time, you can take everything, except money or valuable items, if you help us loot the entire camp, we will give you some money so you can make a living when you arrive in a city Your destiny belongs again. " I said out loud, I was becoming quite fond of saying the typical movie phrases.
"Young Knight, can we know the name of who has saved us?" A man asked.
"My name is Rhig, and she's my partner Rin, I'm just a 1-star Mortal Knight, so you do not need that much respect if you want to ask for something just say it," I said I did not want to waste my time, besides the smell of blood made me in a bad mood.
"I just wanted to know the name of our savior, I hope destiny can pay my gratitude." the man replied hurriedly.
And so the night passed, with the help of the freed prisoners, the looting took 2 hours, but the biggest loot of this night was at dawn. All the prisoners before leaving wished us good luck and made a bow in gratitude. I could not help but feel proud to save someone, maybe it was not such a bad job.
"Sometimes, staining your hands with blood can be an act of justice ..." I muttered.
