Joan was on his high horse as he felt very agitated about what they've done. Landing on the ground, he stomped his feet that made the ground shook.
Setting aside his own life for revenge was what made him do selfish things at that point. To the point of killing the enemies.
If he will ask himself why he will kill those bandits, it was of pure hatred. These bandits will more or less slaughter them one way or another. Just to make sure that they will not reach the villagers first, Joan confronted them head-on.
Taking mercy on the enemies was pure foolishness for his part. If he will ask himself, he doesn't need a merciful heart at this point. These bandits were just doing what they could to live and feed their families. But sadly, Joan was not in the mood to listen to such excuses.
He needs to do what he can and save the villagers of Begonia village. Armed with his wooden sword, he paved the road towards the enemies, solitarily.
Whether he will be alive or not, it will be a bloodbath before he will calm himself.
Dashing while his sword was sheathed on the scabbard, he dashed with speed towards them. Hurling the dirt as he steps on the ground. Propelling himself with all his strength to dash towards them. He imagined that the enemies were not newbie also so letting his guard down will only make himself in grave danger.
Dashing towards them, he was seen by the enemies approaching them.
"Look! A kid! Hahaha! You will be dead soon! Come here!" Shouted one of the bandits who was carrying an axe in his hands.
They charged at him laughing and excited to butcher him to pieces. Licking their lips in pure excitement.
Joan can only curse at their reactions, one thing that he hates was his being laughed upon and underestimated. Thinking it was long ago since he was pissed off like that.
Imagining what job class he will use, he chose the Paladin Job Class. It was what he needed for his weapon wooden sword.
He cast his skill [Iron defence] and [Durability] to have a small buff on his self and his weapon. Not wanting his weapon to break as he carefully crafted it with patience.
Well, not for that moment of course but as a practice weapon. He can only pray that his weapon will hold out for long.
[Iron defence]–a buff skill making his body as hard as iron.
[Durable]–increasing the durability of the item that was cast upon.
Upon their laughs, he clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on his sword. He launched his self towards them and have a brawl with them.
The enemies attacked him with their weapons. Three already surrounded him, all were wielding axes. Swinging at him with all their might. Joan evaded their attacks with all he got and their attacks were all hasty. Not wanting him to evade their strikes.
"We three got this kid! Go to the village and pillage everything!" Shouted the one who made Joan occupied.
The three who occupied him were distracted a bit and when they stared where Joan was. He disappeared without a trace. Joan propelled in the air and they saw him up above them.
He landed on their backs and so Joan smashed the three of them in just a second in the nape. Not wanting them to have their way. They all went down to the ground slamming their head in the dirt.
The other Bandits were now getting away so Joan dashed towards them.
"Kill everything that moves! Except for women! We will enjoy first before ending their lives! Hahaha!" Shouted their leader.
Having a crown of a skull and a deer's horn signified that he was their leader. They charged at the village entrance which has a tower of solitary guard within it.
"Bandits! They are approaching!" He screamed to alert the villagers which were panicking.
Further sounding the alarm bells with all his might. The villagers who were putting out the fire were split. Not knowing what to prioritise, they armed themselves with pitchforks and the others were carrying buckets of water.
Joan dashed towards the enemies with all his might. Stepping harder each time he gets closer and closer. Some stones were hurled and dirt accompanied with dust. It was thrown every time he steps.
He cast his Paladin skill [Elemental damages] and [Physical and Elemental Shield] then jumped towards the fray.
[Elemental Damages]–imbuing the weapon with Fire, Ice, Poison, and, Electric damages. While the Earth damage makes the weapon harder and heavier, the wind damage makes the sword release wind as he swings it. The elemental damages were triggered at random chance.
[Physical and Elemental Shield]–his skill that blocks the physical and elemental damages to a certain degree.
Bang!
He smashed his wooden sword to the ground and dirt was all over the place. The Elemental damage was triggered and it chosen the Earth element. Due to the effects of the Earth damage that caused the weapon to he heavier than normal, the bandits were in disarray and jolted in their surprise.
They surrounded the place where they were attacked. Wanting to show that they were not afraid of it.
From the dust, emerged a boy who was carrying a wooden sword in his hands. Blue haired and fierce, it was what they can only utter in their minds.
"A kid! The kid that we met recently!" Their leader can only shout in utter disbelief.
Joan then didn't waste their time looking at him and initiated his attack. He launched forward in the nearest enemy and smashed their faces with his sword without mercy.
Teeth were flung from their mouths as he battered them without reserve. He also rotated and kicked the enemy in his front with a roundhouse kick. Making him flung towards the others.
"You! What are you!? How can a village like this has a strong kid like you?" Shouted their leader.
"It was just a coincidence, bad news for all of you," Joan spoke and then dashed towards them.
Some of them launched their attack towards him. Throwing their axes at him. A throwing axe that can be very deadly when it successfully hits you.
He saw three axes were propelled towards him and he prepared his sword.
Swatting them with his sword and successfully redirected one to them. One was hit in the forehead and went limp afterwards.
The others jolted and were infuriated by what he has done. They became more fierce and so they all flooded him. Wanting him to end his life in pure anger.
