The Holy Priestess mouth were open wide, she couldn't believe what she witness in front of her eyes. There was nothing but bloods and lumps of body, scattered here and there was the body parts of bandits who had threatened and almost deprive her honor.
Now, they were lifeless, bound with nothing as their souls has been reap by the fine blade which were in the hands of the crazed young man who suddenly came for her aid.
At first, there were seven of them, but one life perished when his heads flew off from a light swing of swords in the young man grip. His strength was overwhelming, it was something obvious, those muscle of his are the results of being a Farmer for years and even though he didn't know how to properly use a sword, he had handle many sharp object because of his job in the past so he had no problem to familiarize himself with the sword.
The second bandit to taste his sharp and cold swords was the one who hurled himself toward him without any second thought after the bandit leader made them regained their confidence, both of his hands gripped a pair of axe and in wild motions as he was trying to slash half of Adonia body.
But the foolish bandit would never expected that his target would backs away the second he got closer, that was a simple move and it's still caught the bandit in surprise, and the fact that untrained lad could pull of that kind of move without panicking a single bit is what make him more surprised.
"You bastard—!" screams the bandit as his eyes were open wide when he saw that the lad rush toward him and prepared his swords, taken aback by this he wanted to pull himself away but fate wasn't so kind. The lad moves bit faster than him and his sword pierces through the leather that gave the bandit so little protection. And blood spilt from the axe-bandit chest, the swords stabs right through his heart, effectively killed him in the process.
Losing his power, the bandit the fell forward and the swords pierced through even further. Nobodies there could even let out any snappy comment about what's going on.
Even the Holy Priestess who supposed to be feeling safe as she was the one who the young man trying to save, in fact, is scared nonetheless by the spectacles of gore fest and the anger of the young man.
He roars while trying to pulls his sword from the body of the bandit he had killed, another bandit who saw that it was his chance, decided to move forward and attacking him. Adonia quickly dodge to the side with a roll, leaving his sword behind and the bandit who attacked him let out a grin.
"Now you're weaponless boy! What you could do?"
It supposes to be a psychological attack, a move to make his foe run away or at the very least shaken a bit, yet it doesn't have any effect on Adonia as he glare his golden eyes toward the bandit who just attacked him.
"You're using a knife?"
"You blind? I am using Knives, there are two of them on my hand!"
"I didn't ask, but you know what? I'll gouge your eyes out by using them."
"Huh? How? By seize it outta my hand?"
But Adonia speaks no more, instead he ran straight to the knives-bandit. He only ran, and ran like there was nothing could stop him. Even though they were only few step apart from each other, Adonia pays it no mind and still ran.
"You're crazy!"
The bandit prepare himself, any kind of attack should be able to be anticipated by him. The young lad in front of him is just desperate, he couldn't possibly have any plan—at least that's what he thought to himself.
Once again, another expectation was destroyed by how unpredictable Adonia decisions to move is.
Instead of straight away charging toward the knives-bandit, he did something that turns the table entirely. He leaped above the bandit who is dumbstruck by the sudden act that Adonia pulled.
It was too late, when he realized that his opponent were already behind him and turn back, what greets him was a fist that fly upon his face magnificently and landed perfectly. When he received the blow straight on, he thought that this kind of fist would only put him off balance for few second at least, but no, he was sent straight flying.
All of the bandit become the witness of this, they could only think of one thing; "How?!"
Yes, the lad had a muscle, but what drives him so much that gives him this kind of power?
They couldn't understand it, they couldn't even began to guess the reasons on the anger-driven lad reasoning on helping the Holy Priestess when he was clearly in disadvantages when it comes to number. Still, he keeps fighting, struggling, and he keeps the killing goes like it will never end.
These kind of anger was nothing to what they have ever seen, an anger that turns man into something wild and full of instinct. There was nothing inside him except one thing, the desire to kill them all.
The bandits knew this, and they fear for their life. Their leader wasn't any exception, he could only gulped down his saliva when he saw Adonia truly does what he just said, the young man in rags grabs one of the knives then gouged both of the bandit eyes just like he was toying with them.
Screams of agony could be heard, but they disappated quickly when a blade burst open his throat and slit off the larynx, blood once again spurted and paint Adonia faces red.
With his eyes becoming wide-open, he was more like incarnation of Demon than any sorts Ally of Justice he spoke before this fight begun.
'This kid is dangerous!' that's what his instinct screamed out, yet he couldn't easily escape as they were actually here for the Holy Priestess, they had some sorts of business that could only be dealt if they could bring the Holy Priestess.
'I thought this will be an easy job, but this kid messed everything up by killing my men! I need to do something!' as he had already decided, the bandit leader steps forward and draw his slightly curved sword, it was a Sabre, then point it toward Adonia who just trying to get back up.
"Hold it right there, kiddo. I am the leader of this bandit group, I challenge you to a du—," even before he could finished his words, the young man suddenly leap toward him and grips the knives so strongly that the handle starting to cracks.
"Woah!"
The bandit leader didn't expect that at all, he had made some calculation which should be right, and then he just realizes that he also made some miscalculation. His opponent is something that acts by his desire to kill, words couldn't reach him as he already abandon all of his logic when this fight starts.
Adonia who is leaping in the air then land with both of his hand gripped the knife and point it at the head of the bandit leader, but his knife pierce or stabs nothing at all as the bandit leader disappear from the place he lands.
"Magic!" shouted the Holy Priestess, she who had grasped the situation then gave Adonia a warning.
"He could use Magic which make him able to traverse using the shades of shadow."
"That's right."
The bandit leader then appear from beneath of Adonia feet, he was coming out from the young man shadow. Of course, this's surprises Adonia then he took step back but it didn't stop the young man movement.
He came out from the shadow, which means he linked toward the shadow itself and he had the ability to move freely using them too.
"This is the end boy!"
The Sabre then emerges from the shadow and it was flying straight to Adonia.
Thus the sounds of a meat being stabbed on could be heard.
Wide smile of victory prevail on the bandit leader face, he thought that finally he could get rid of the young man who messed up all of his plan.
"It's my win!"
"Too bad."
"Huh?"
When he looked up toward the place where Adonia should have been stabbed, what he find was not the slumping lifeless body of the young lad, it was something entirely different from what the bandit leader had hoped.
"What the Hell?!"
"As you can see, I am not dead yet."
The bandits, the bandit leader, and even, the Holy Priestess, they couldn't believe what they just had witnessed.
"You… you!—How could you uses your palm as a shield against my Sabre?!"
Just as what the bandit leader said, that's what currently happening. The pointy edge of the Sabre didn't pierce anywhere fatal on Adonia body, except the palm of his left hand.
Everybody was jaw-dropped.
"What did you mean how could I?" then Adonia ask back while putting a smile on his face. It wasn't the smile of a saint, in contrary it was a wicked smile that could even rival the Demon Lord himself.
"I just move my hand when you just about to stab my face, that's it. No tricks or anything, nothing."
He explains it so casually which made it more shivering to be heard. The bandit leader spine felt to be frozen in the place, he never see this sorts of tenacity on his whole career as a bandit.
No one has ever compared toward this young man, anyone who he had fought before was not this unpredictable. Even if there are Assassins, Mercenary, and many sorts of people he had fought before, but this young man is something else.
This young man—no this 'thing', he is not a human! He is a monster!!—the bandit leader just realized the mistakes he had done.
But it was too late, the knife on Adonia hand were already swung down and falling toward him.
"Wait, wait! Do you didn't want to know why we attack the Holy Priestess in the first place?!"
"It's none of my business."
The bandit leader who was half stuck on the shadow could uses his Magic to traverse toward another shades, yet he didn't do so. For fear has already taken over him, and make him believes that he could only beg for mercy, when it doesn't work then that's it.
As how Adonia just responded, it was clear that the young man doesn't have any inclination to hear anything he wanted to say.
Death is the punishment that Adonia bring toward the bandit leader who was screaming in terror.
Then the sounds of a sacks of human body being stabbed repeatedly filled the ears of everyone who was there.
