The bandits were killed brutally. They did not get the chance to fight back at all because they were already exhausted because of the earlier fight with Elena's team.
With only two people it became even more harder to fight three people who are already as strong as them and not tired at all. But they still tried to put up their best fight in order to live. But they failed and, were killed brutally as a result.
Now, the entire bandit group is dead. I am speechless by this development if I am being honest. What I thought was a robbery going on turned out to be a pre-planned murder attempt. Then, more enemy reinforcement came and they, in stead of working together with the bandits, they started killing them for their failed task. Were they so confident that they could kill all the members in Elena's party without letting anyone escape?
But, after seeing them fight, Arthur could tell that they are really strong. Without cheating, Arthur can't win against all of them if they fought. So, Arthur thought of the best way to defeat them. He had a lot of things in the system which can help him get out of this predicament. But they are all costly and he doesn't want to use too many points.
After fighting the bandits, the black-clothed assassins made their way to us. They suffered some minor injuries in the fight. We had only two people who can fight currently. Me and the female elven mage. Although she is exhausted, she had enough time to rest and regain some of her lost mana.
I was thinking if I should give her a [mana regeneration] potion to completely restore her mana. But I don't know what kind of effect it has or if she will be willing. She seems to hold a grudge against devil's, and she didn't seem like she believed my words about me not being a devil.
"hello, beautiful mage, I don't know your name but now I don't have the time for introduction. I see that your mana is not completely restored yet. I have a mana regeneration potion which will restore your mana completely, do you want it?", I asked her as politely as possible.
"I don't need help from a devil", the female elven mage replied in a disgusted tone.
"but I am not a devil, I am a human.", Arthur stated in a helpless tone.
"same to me if you mingle with a devil.", said the female elven mage in a tone that implied that she does not like to talk with me.
I am speechless at her words. Here we are almost at the verge of annihilation and she is acting stubborn. Her stubbornness at this time irritated me very much but I didn't say anything.'hmph, if you are so stubborn, then why not fight them alone?', Arthur mocked her in his mind.
Arthur didn't disturb her anymore but he decided that she must be taught a lesson for her over-inflated haughtiness'. In the meantime, the black-clothed assassins' trio also arrived.
"hehehe…, three beauty from three different races. I don't know how can someone be so heartless to order us to kill them?"
"we can take turns before killing them, what do you say guys?"
"Agreed"
The trio continued to talk shamelessly, completely disregarding that Arthur is here. They were ogling the girl's body lecherously. This snapped a wire in Arthur's brain. For some unknown reasons, he didn't like when they stared at the girl lecherously.
He immediately bought a paralysing potion from system. He then used his time stop skill and stopped the time. Everything freezed as if the world was in an ice age. Arthur begin to count time. He quickly began his dirty work.
He had a solid plan. Paralyse them and kill them in front of the girl's heroically. But he didn't have enough potion for three. So, he played a trick here.
He divided the potion in two part and feed it to two black-clothed assassins. He didn't give the last one any. Then, he moved around and stabbed the last one from behind. He stabbed his heart with all the strength in his body. He also mutilated his body very much. He slashed him a lot of times all over his body, punched him, kicked him. He did every torture he could come up with within this sixty second.
Then, when it was finally sixty seconds, he standed in front of the last one who didn't get any potion and stabbed him with his sword from the front. He made sure to push his sword through his body so that it came out the other side. He thought that sight will be very intimidating.
Then, right at this time, Time started flowing again. Everyone saw Arthur standing in front of one of the black-clothed man. Arthur's body was blocking the view of Elena and the female elven mage so they couldn't see what happened. But the other two black-clothed man saw everything very clearly as they were just beside Arthur.
The scene they saw widened their eyes so wide that they looked like flying saucers. For them, they saw Arthur suddenly appeared and stabbed their companion to death. He didn't even get the time to scream before he died. But what they didn't know is that their companion died even before they noticed it.
The two-remaining black-clothed men became genuinely afraid seeing this scene. They tried to quickly make distance between them and Arthur. But their steps became slow and their feet started shaking.
Arthur also pulled out his sword out of the dead black-clothed man.
'THUD', sounded the falling body of dead black-clothed man. It also attracted the two girl's attention and they finally saw what happened. After Arthur let go of the body and moved, they so the dead body of black-clothed man fall in full view. He was bleeding from the various wound in his body. He also had a big stabbing wound in his chest which indicates that he was stabbed very hard.
