Vvulf was visibly enraged by the audacity of someone stopping his killing spree but his rationality got the better of him as he has confusion written all over his face not knowing who could've flung him aside like nothing. Outraged by the humiliation, Vvulf sprung up and screeches at the new arrival.
Vvulf: HOW DARE YOU WEAKLING STAND IN MY WAY! I'LL ANNIHILATE YOU [Skull breaker]!
Vvulf dashes in at blinding speed and delivers a devastating uppercut to Yosif's helmet launching it 5 feet into the air before landing with a thud. Vvulf thought he decapitated the nuisance that annoyed him, waits for the shower of blood but only felt the chilling breeze. Bandits and defenders gasp at the scene before them. Vvulf looks up and all the boiling rage with fighting spirit leave him completely as he stares into the two empty eye sockets devoid of life whose gaze pierces his very soul.
That didn't hurt in the slightest whatsoever. Time to scare the shit out of these bandits, theatrics classes don't fail me now.
Me: pathetic! to think that the so called bandit king couldn't even scratch me.
Vvulf: what are you!
Me: a pissed off Gopnik... and your ticket to damnation.
Before Vvulf could utter another word, I crushed his right hand making him squeal in pain before roundhouse kicking him in the abdomen sending him flying back to the bandits yet again.
Me: YOU DARE TO INVADE MY HOME, DARE TO HARM MY PEOPLE? I WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF PAIN! RIP AND TEAR THEM APART KNIGHTS!
At my command, the skeleton knights who were mixed with the crowd of defenders with Sergei jump into action, both sides were too distracted by Vvulf trying to kill Lana before to notice them. The sudden appearance of the knights greatly frightens the defenders and make some of the bandits wet themselves. The only reason that the bandits were victorious so far is because their force's quantity beats the defender's force's quality as the average bandit is at most silver rank with some barely reaching gold. Imagine the battle is a scale where the defenders and bandits are on each side, the knights appearing is the equivalent of an anvil being tossed to the defender's side of the scale. I watch the slaughter as the knights slice through bandits like a hot knife through butter while Sergei is having his own fun playing human cricket with his warhammer. The bandits quicklg recuperate forming a shield wall, realizing that their only hope is defense.
The wall would've stopped my knights but i had a crazy idead so stupid that it might work. I mentally order the knights to go in formation. 4 knights on the sides 2 knights on each facing the one standing with them holding their arms up while leaning forward to form triangles. Then, 2 more knights jump up and lie horizontally so that their legs and heads are held by the knights on the side. Another 2 knights will jump on the ones laying down latching their legs on the others torso and bending backwards with their arms outstretched holding the final 2 knights who are curled up into a big ball.
The bandits look horrified ag the abomination that is the skeleton knight catapult. Their life flash before their eyes as the thing activates and yeet a skeleton knight straight to their shield at an incredible speed. *CRASH*. STRIKE! The knight knocks the entirety of the bandits formation down like bowling pins and i think i can see Sergei giving an applause to the display. Now only 73 bandits remain, 72% of them got absolutely destroyed by the knights while a small 3% managed to flee the battle. The main issue i have left is Vvulf who i was about to execute with maximum brutality.
It's time for the wulfamania combo. I charge at Vvulf who panics and raise his shield and defense. Right when i'm in arms reach of him i did dropkick aimed for his balls which you can probaly guess how painful that would be. He howled in agony dropping spike shield and i grab him by the ankles and slam him left and right 4 times into the ground. After that, i hold his entire torso and leap into the air slamming down on both sides. For the finisher, i uppercut him into the air and flip him around before doing a brainbuster which i follow up with another uppercut launching him into the air yet again and bodyslam his beaten body into the ground then i grab what's left of him at that point and suplex him so hard his head got caved in. With the final nail in the coffin done, i turn around to see that the knights have also finished up with Sergei lining them up by the sides. Oh right the spike shield, Vvulf won't need it where he's going.
{Brigand's greatshield}
rarity: rare
Description: a massive shield that used to belong to bandit king Vvulf, capable of withstanding massive physical damage but is extremely vulnerable to magic. The spikes can easily inflict heavy bleeding to opponents making them lose 4% current hp per second for 2.5 seconds each time the effect is successfully activated.
This shield is pretty damn strong for a rare, maybe i'll have to use it for offense, it may be a shield but this is better than stabbing people with the warp dagger, the thing was made purely for utillity. Welp enough daydreaming, Sergei, you and the knights will go clean up the rubbles and bodies. Oh right can't forget about Lana now can i? I strolls towards Lana who is still frozen in place with wide eyes when she saw me block the attack and i have to snap my finger a couple of times before she goes out of her daze.
Me: Hey Lana are you ok, did you hit your head? You spaced out for a bit there.
Lana: i-i-i yo-u HOW ARE YOU SO FREAKING STRONG! (Lana isn't cursing because of Luna being present)
Me: *shrugs* dungeons and bosses you know? Ehh don't ask about Sergei and the knights, the closest explanation i can give you is that they're my familiars.
Lana: BUT SUCH A THING ISN'T POSSIBLE, NO ONE HAS ACHIEVED MORE THAN 2 FAMILIARS!
Me: beats me i guess, now are you going to keep screaming or are you going to help me clean this mess up?
Lana just gives reasoning at this point and start considering the whole ordeal to be a fever dream from having too many shrooms. I was about to join the knights in cleaning up but before i could do so, i heard someone clears their throat behind me. It was the mayor Osmond and the remaining guards and adventurers looking at me, some fearful while others curious.
Osmond: Mr Yosif, i believe we have a more pressing matter concerning your condition.
Oh right, i have just mercilessly torn bandits apart in front of them while revealing the fact that i'm a skeleton. It's been a good run at least, i'll just have to pack up and look for dungeon to set up as a base for a revolution in the shadows now that i'm no longer welcomed in the town or politics for that matter. On the bright side though, it would be pretty interesting to be a dungeon master.
Osmond: As the mayor of Gobi representing its people, i hereby nominates you for the position of mayor.
Well at least they didn't forcefully give me the boot out of here..... Wait a fucking minute! Excuse me wtf did you just say?
Me and the rest the people there: huh?
Everybody there was dumbfounded at the sudden declaration including the knights on the side who have their heads tilted. The ones most affected were Matt and Maria probaly thinking that Osmond has gone senile. I couldn't believe the sheer luck for this to happen, if i'm in a position that can directly manages Gobi and the other towns that i will add to the alliance against the king, not only would i ensure the safety of the people but also eliminates the corruption in the system. And i would be lying if i say i didn't want a chance to start a vodka distillery.
Matt: You can't be serious sir how could he be the mayor?
Osmond: He's not a criminal now is he? Wasn't he just an adventurer among the guild?
Maria: But sir Osmond, is it really legal for him to take the position?
Osmond: Of course he is my dear. The law just states that the mayor of a town need to be capable of protecting their land and making their people happy. He has already done both of those things and no doubt would further improve as time goes by. As far as i'm concern, there's nothing in the law mentioning race because the judges of the candidates are all bigoted and flat out deny elves and beast people but not me. If the law doesn't say anything about it then i can nominate whoever i want but in the end the decision is up to him.
Osmond: So Yosif my boy, are you ready to take responsibilities for our humble town and lead it to prosperity?
Me: Of course, i would be a fool to miss such an opporturnity.
Osmond: Then with the defenders and the townsfolks as witnesses, Yosif will now officially be the next mayor of Gobi!
