Before I was about to shoot their boss, an arrow suddenly flew from the back and to one of the bodyguards.
"AMBUSH!" one of the bodyguard screamed in alert.
"Watch out! Get them quick!" the boss shouted his orders with a pissed off tone in his voice.
*Sigh*
"I don't think I will interfere as it is. I'll just wait it out a bit and see what happens…"
I decided to stay hidden where I was, using the camouflage of my ghillie suit. While I was watching, I thought more about the situation and my assessment of it.
"I can kill their boss while the underlings are distracted very easily. These guys are not trained properly."
I zoomed in with my scope, the crosshair focused on the boss' head. I was perfectly ready to wait until the other bodyguard strayed his sight away from target. The second he does, I can…
"Boss! I can see the guy that shot the arrow. He's in the tree!!"
"Hehe. Too bad for him" the boss focused his two hands together. "Let me show him the power of this Bandit King!"
*Wind cutter*
After that bandit boss said that, a sudden form of wind flew into the tree and hit the archer.
"Capture him alive. I want to see which idiot dared to ambush us."
10 minutes passed and the bandits lost 3 people in the encounter. Maybe I should start attacking? But what was that wind which blew out the tree… Is that what magic is? I mean I can't be surprised if there's any magic in this world when I've just saw a dragon!
"Oh, the bandit is back" I focused my aim on him to check the situation. "And he's dragging someone tied i-"
My head went blank as soon as I saw the ambusher. The one at the end of the bounds was not an adult. They were capturing a child…
"Oh? A child dares to kill my underlings!"
*Spits*
"Fuck you!" the boy cursed loudly. "You killed my whole family you damn monster. I-I'm here to take my revenge…"
The boy managed to free himself as he said that and jumped at the bandit boss with a small knife in attempt to kill him.
"Aahh!!! Die!! You monster!!"
But the situation was quickly turned around. Faced with so many bandits, it was easy to disarm him since he's a small child,
"How dare you try to attack me? Quickly tie him up. He's an elf and I'll bet my left ear that he'll fetch us a good price."
Elf? What's an elf? The boy looks human to me. Is an elf some kind of ethnicity or something? But anyway, in order to save this child, I must come up with quick and efficient plan.
So the plan was, as I thought it up quickly, to shoot the boss with my sniper rifle and kill the remaining ones with my pistol since none of them use a bow. I should be fine.
Well that would be a good plan, but how would I shoot the bandit boss if he's in my damn shelter.
"AGH! I'm frustrated."
"Whatever. I'll take all of them down using my pistol."
I saw an opportunity for a sneak attack when one of them came this way. He was probably finding a good place to pee.
"Phew. Thanks to him I'll at least be saving one bullet."
He came my way and pulled his pants down. Before he could produce anything, I pounced out of my bush and quickly snapped his neck. His body stopped moving and felt his pulse fade. I made sure he was dead and hid his body where I crouched. If u asked me how I felt right now, I might tell you that I felt like a hitman.
I proceeded further into the camp. I quickly attached a suppressor to my pistol's muzzle because I don't think it's a good idea to get any attention from a dragon or something possibly worse. That would literally be the worst case scenario.
I shot one guard straight ahead of me in the head. Another one to my right dropped. But well, if I kill this much, the rest would be alerted.
"Sir!!" one perceptively late guards screamed nervously. "We're being ambushed again. We already lost 2 people!"
"AGH! How dare they?!"
I quickly stand up from the bushes still wearing my Ghillie suit
"What is that???" one of the bandit tripped and fell.
"It's a forest spirit!! Run!!!!!!"
Most of them ran into the forest. I'm not going to waste my bullets on people who might die from the forest's predators.
Now…There were 3 people left. Two of the bodyguards and the boss huh, this will be tough.
I shot 2 bullets to kill the 2 bodyguard. Though I only managed to kill one,
"Don't let your guard down, he's strong" the boss said to the only bodyguard left.
I took out my knife and prepared to fight.
*Wind Cutter*
*Sigh*
Another one of those wind thingies, I don't think it can hur-
"Arghh!"
Motherfucker that hurt so much. I looked down to my vest and it almost pierced through my armor. It even left quite a mark. So, I cannot just look down on their attacks huh?!?
"Damn. You got some nerve attacking me, I, the forest spirit!!" I said while looking so menacingly in my camo suit.
Well I said those thing to intimidate him. It did work on the few that deserted when they saw me. But what I didn't expect was this…
Suddenly, a thing that looked like hologram popped up in front of my face.
*Skill Unlocked: Intimidate Lvl. 1*
*Skill Unlocked: Sharpshooter Lvl. 1*
*Skill Unlocked: Survival Guide Lvl. 1*
*Skill Unlocked: Stealth Lvl. 1*
I was confused about what just happened… Skill? Huh? What was that?
*Tremble*
"Don't you dare look down on us, freak. We're the Tiger Bandits."
"AAAAAH!!!!!"
He screamed and ran into me while pointing his sword.
I fired one shot through the sword's blade and hit him square in the head.
Another of these hologram things popped up into my face.
*User level has been upgraded: 1 => 2*
Eh…a level upgrade? From killing people? That's a weird method. I'll probably check that out later. I'm gonna finish this guy first.
"How dare you kill my loyal servant!!"
Without any care to what he was saying, I picked up my rifle and shot at his head. He managed to act before I fired though.
*wind cutter*
"Ahh, no way!! This wind, can't stop th…agh…"
And once again another popup came up.
*User has earned a title: The One Who Slaughters…
Every physical attack are buffed +5 Damage*
*User has earned a title: Bandit Killer…
Every attack you make against an enemy with a bandit title, will have a 30% chance of it landing as a critical hit*
Eh… what kinda weird title is that? This feels like some game. No matter how I looked at it, isn't it pretty weird to have a title with the word slaughter in it. And what's this? Bandit Killer...
"Blehh. I don't think it'll be useful anyway."
After I finished blabbering to myself about this hologram thing, I quickly went to the place where they tied up the kid.
"Hey kid! Are you okay?"
