Gathering the ethereal mana in the Veren sword I threw the next end blade.
"Another"
*Fsheeen!
The wind blade cut through the soft earth and through the air in the direction of the slaver boss.
But unfortunately, the guy used a secret technic called 'moving away...
"Of course it's too slow ..." Well of course it was too slow.
Considering the distance between us and the obvious projectile that was lightly glowing with my dark green light. I should even have realized that it was bound to miss...
"Tch, waste of mana."
Although I knew I still did it...
Why you ask?
Well...since I got one, wouldn't the second be on free?
"I guess a close confrontation is needed..." Digging my boots to the soft ground, I dashed towards the guy in front of me with caution.
It would even suck if that guy was to show to be similar to the Rapha guy which had long-distance attacks.
But even after moving no further than 5 meters away from him, I saw no hint of magic or the like.
'He shouldn't be a magic caster...maybe a swordman?'
At the 4 meter mark, I accelerated with the use of [Sprint] and jumped at him to hank him at one go.
*Thiiid!
Our blades met with me winning the contest of strength and slowly pushing this blade away.
"You brute! Why the heck is someone like you in such a punny village?"
"You talk too much..."
Breaking the standoff, I guided the mana in my sword.
"The same trick again? You think I am stup-"
"Shut up..."
"You..!"
Swinging my sword, another wind blade appeared out of the runed blade.
The man has already anticipated it and moved to the side before the blade even came out.
Looking at the gaze of the knight in front of him he got a feeling that something was wrong.
And the moment he saw the direction that the blade was pointing it was too late.
'This bastard! It can't be...!'
"Mr. Oliver! Take cover!"
*Fsheeen!
As he was awakened from a deep slumber. The poor slave merchant saw the ever-closing mass of mana and wind.
This face imminently turned pale and cold sweat runner through this back.
"Seriously!?"
The merchant quickly fell from this seat face forward before crawling inside the wagon.
Fortunately for him, he just got away right of time before the violent wind blade cut through a massive piece of wood at the place where this seat was.
"I even missed that one...It sure isn't my day..."
"..."
Although nothing has happened, Bent was still shocked at what just happened.
What would have happened if Mr.Oliver, his employer had died?
Where would he get his pay!?
Considering that this guy killed most of my subordinates, this business model that had been built by sweat and tears would overnight collapse!
He couldn't let that happen!
"Bastard...you asked for it!"
Suddenly, the violent mana that was inside of him busted out of this body, governing both this whole body in mana before vanishing.
"Be blood to my sight! [Sprout wounds]!"
After the same violent mana went inside the man's sword, he accelerated towards me.
"And here I thought that magic was rare..." I murmured.
'It's obvious that he is using the skill [Sprint], but this guy chanted something just now...'
*Thiik!
Like the previews clash with our swords, I still hold on to the strength superiority.
As I were to push forward to end this pathetic life, my sword was suddenly pushed back out of nowhere.
"Huh?"
"You feel for it! [Slash]!"
With a slight glow in this arms, the speed that he swung greatly hasten.
With no time to block the incoming blade, I quickly took a step back to avoid saying goodbye to my shiny head mine.
Which resulted in the flamberge to dig deep inside my armor and break 2 of my left ribs.
Fortunately, he didn't hit the rib that held the self-made bag that was made out of cloth that I was so proud of.
Even though I avoided the items that were inside of me falling off, the attack still did around 450 damage in total.
The damage I receive was quite big but it didn't hinder my movements a bit.
'Hmm? Why does the armor glow so suddenly...? Mana'
Just before I could touch this strange mana, it suddenly brightened up and the holes grew by half as much
*Krggh
I blankly looked at them together pressed metal and the expanded hole that happened in the spend of fewer than 2 seconds...
"Bhahahsha! You idiot! That's what you get off under-" As Bent, we're about to laugh at the monstrous knight, these words stuck to this throat when he saw the knight blankly watching him.
Taking a better look at the knight the sight became even more blizzard.
'Why is he still standing there looking at me as he was fine? I surely hit him at this vitals but why isn't he screaming of pain and beg to spare him...?'
"Huh? Why isn't blood coming out of you?" Looking at this flamberge he still saw no hints of blood in this blade!
No matter how the gears turned inside this head, only further confusion overwhelmed him.
But this brainstorming came to a halt when he saw the mana of the knight flowing through this blade.
"Dammit!"
He quickly used [Sprint], stepping aside from the incoming wind blade.
But this relief was short-lived when he saw the long sword of this knight coming crushing towards this head.
"You-!"
*Thiiikk!
The loud sound of metal echoed through the whole village.
The strength behind the long sword was nowhere as strong as the one of before!
These knees were starting to bend slowly and shock was written all over this face.
"How did yo-!"
"Didn't I tell you..."
Using the skill [Sprint] I kicked him with immense speed to this thigh.
As if my leg dug through this flesh, sounds of bones cracking could be hurt and the 'Boss' of those guys was blown away and rolling to the ground.
"That you talk too much?"
*Cracked
"Ahhhhhhh! Bastard! My leg...!"
Even though he felt immense pain coming from this leg, he still tried to stand up and fight.
But in short, the runed blade pierced this shoulder, rooting him to the ground.
Stepping the hand that held this sword, I coldly stared at this sword.
After making sure that he couldn't move this other hand I lightly tapped this mana engulfed sword.
Every time I tapped it with the Veren sword I felt some weird resistance.
"So that was the trick you used on me...sadly it isn't suited against me..."
"You! Let go! Do you know who I am!? You aren't going to get away with hurting me!"
Ignoring the rumbling of the scarface. I read through this skimmed through this status.

'Other than 3 things and him being an idiot. nothing else is noteworthy...'
[Sprout Wounds]: Comming from the blood and dark magic school is a weapon-based enchantment. The enchanted weapon in question that will cause a wound lets some mana in the target and soon forcibly expands the wound of the target. Since the mana flow resembles the one of a heart, there is a small possibility of disrupting the enemy's weapon.
[Cruel]: Those who are under fear will unconsciously fear you!
[Slash]: Through the use of mana you are capable of simulating seeing your arms with your mana and physical strength without burdening your body.Can only be used on swinging motions.
'There is a thing like blood magic? Well, I can image this [Sprout Wounds] to be amazing to use but against an opponent without blood is kinda...'
As for the talent [Cruell] and the skill [Slash] I wasn't much impressed with the magic enchantment that the guy used.
"Well, I guess it's time to kill you."
As if a clap of thunder strikes down inside Bents's mind, he began to sweat from all over this body.
"W-W-Wait! Didn't you hear what I said!? I-If die you wouldn't be to..."
Without any hesitation, I pierced this stomach with the Veren sword.
"Kyaahhhh! P-Please! I even got money! I got connections! S-"
Pulling the sword out I pierced him again at a different location.
"Ahhhh! Why!? Please show mercy!"
The longer I continued this painful torture, the burning feeling inside of me turned even cooler and at some point, I didn't feel as unpleasant as before.
With this throat having lost this strength, Bent murmured.
"You...will regret this."
Hearing that I could only scoff at him.
"Dead men tell no tales"
After ending the man life the heat in my body slowly dissolved.
[You received 5800 XP]
"Sigh...although it always feels unpleasant..."
'This time it wasn't as bad.'
After activating Verens rune and draw some blood I walked towards where the 3 wagons was.
