Vincent was standing at the bottom of the river for 8 minutes, his current limit is only 9 minutes. Newcomers arrived just 5 minutes ago, so he didn't know anything.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and swam upwards to take a few breaths. His absorption here is very good compared to the surface one.
Vincent began to emerge at the river bank.
*Haa… Haa!*
'9 minutes is my limit. If I could use the wind element, it would be extended to around 20 minutes. Need to find some high ground like a mountain with a strong wind in the future and start absorption of wind particles that will allow me to step on the road of the so-called 'Magus'. What I'm doing right now is only creating a strong foundation before becoming a magus.' Vincent thinks to himself. He was fully naked right now.
"Huh? Kid? What the hell is a little kid doing here?" One of the bandits noticed a person emerge from the river on the nearby ground and called.
'I'm not alone here? 4 people, 3 adults and 1 child around 10 years old. What is going on here? Looking at their outfit they should be… bandits, right? Judging from that boy's shouts, it's something I better not involve myself, but will they leave behind just because I kid? Hehe. I'm fucking cursed, I'm almost sure of it. This is such a remote place and I just came here not long ago, and now this out of nowhere? It's a curse. I guess that 'God's' gift has some side effects that lower my luck.' Vincent laughed at himself and his 'good' luck, then looked at the bandit that was confidently walking towards him.
"Kid, I don't know who you are or how you arrived here, but… it's your bad day. Blame your bad luck." The man arrived in front of Vincent and with the dagger in his hand, struck Vincent's chest.
Right at this moment, a girl emerged from the water. Shocked, she began to heavily take breaths.
When she was down deep in the water, she saw a naked boy standing unmoving with closed eyes 2 meters away from her. Bella almost got a heart attack. But after that, the boy opened his eyes and began to swim to the surface.
She knew that it was very unlikely that those bandits will ignore the river, especially after that boy would show up. She can only pray that she will be untouched in the bandits' arms. She too began to emerge.
Vincent looked at the man who was attacking him with a knife and cursed inwardly.
'That 'God' wants to test me or something? But, do I have a choice now? Die and go to hell, bastard.' Vincent was calmly standing there as if waiting for the bandit's hand with the knife to hit him.
'He is scared to the point that can't even move? Well, a kid is still a kid after all. Let's finish this fast and find a girl.' the man grinned as he mistook Vincent's calm state as fear.
Bella's head had just emerged from the river. She saw a bandit attacking Vincent who was still unmoving even after seeing the upcoming attack. She cursed. 'Stupid idiot, for some reason I even thought that he is something special, but he is just…" when Bella was about to finish her thought, she heard a scream.
Vincent slightly arched his hand as he looked at every move of the man in front of him. When the knife was about to hit his chest, Vincent turned his body to the right making the attack miss him. The moment he turned, he sent a strong kick toward the man's crotch.
"Aaaa!… aghhhg!"
When man bent a bit from pain, Vincent sent an arched hand as a blade towards man's Adam's apple, instantly sending this retard to the hell where he belongs too.
This scene shocked people around. The most shocked was Bella. She thought that Vincent was scared silly, but now… her heart gives girth to some hope.
Vincent pulled out his bloody hand from the man's neck and grabbed the knife nearby.
'I guess I can call this an extremely unexpected training.' Vincent give a glance at the knife, then at the other two bandits, and stepped forward.
The other two bandits narrowed their eyes and also took out their knives.
"I don't know who you are but go to hell already. That place is still missing two people." Vincent looked at the two men with his red eyes. There was no fear at all, only contempt.
Vincent sped up and arrived in front of another bandit who was already prepared. Bandit attacked with his right hand holding a knife. Vincent saw every little movement the man was doing. He immediately bends down and with the knife in his right hand sliced the man's thigh deeply. Not allowing the man to react, he sends another attack towards the backside of the knee. When the man fall to one knee, Vincent fastly pulled out the knife from ma's leg and sent 3rd attack towards the man's neck from behind, piercing it completely, killing him on the spot.
"Are you even fighting properly in your life before, huh, retarted trash? You… 20+ years old fucking scum that can't even resist for a few seconds!! Worthless creature!" Vincent cursed with a cold stare and grabbed his head from behind and began to cut his head off. Blood started to squirt 1-2 meters in front of him. The man was already dead when his neck was pierced from behind, and now his head was cut off completely.
Vincent threw the head to the side and looked towards the last one who holded Ron in his arms.
The man just saw two of his comrades die in around 10 seconds from a naked kid. This was something he never would believe if someone told him. Not that he saw those two brutally killed and one was even cut the head off. Fear arose in his heart as he looked at a somewhat 9 years old naked kid painted in blood grabbing the 2nd dagger and walking towards him.
He instantly dropped Ron to the ground and tried to run into the forest, but before he did even a single step, a sharp pain arose in his right leg. He screamed and looked down. He saw a knife in his thigh deeply. He turned his head and look at that little devil thing that just threw the knife.
"I don't remember that I said you can leave, no?" Vincent arrived in front of a bleeding man on the ground near a tree.
"There soon come others, you will die a horrible death!" The man cursed and tried to look strong, but inside he already knew that he was as good as dead.
"Others? I don't think there would be more than the 10 of you here. If all of you are at the same quality then it doesn't matter, I will not die, but you will." Vincent glanced down at the man and pulled out the dagger from the man's leg
"Scums like you raped my Alina and even Anna almost ended the same! Hate you." Vincent with two daggers began to cut off the man's right leg.
"Hate you, bitches. *Slice!*
"AAaa!! Enough, stop!" The man was facing the ground while his right leg's flesh was sliced and only bone was still connecting it.
"Scums. *Crack!*" Vincent stood up and broke that bone with one hit of his leg.
"AAAaah!!!" The man screamed in horror as he felt his right leg being ripped from his body.
Vincent ripped his leg and threw it aside.
He looked at the heavily bleeding man and said.
"Soon I will send your fucking friends' to accompany you in hell. *Hit!* *Crack!* *Hit!* *Hit!* *Hit!*" Vincent come closer to his head and began to smash it with his right fist. The first hit broke his nose, teeth, and slightly his skull. His 2nd hit was enough to break his skull, his eyes popped out as his brain was smashed and the man died, but Vincent didn't stop hitting. The blood, flesh, teeth, eyes, bones, and brain matter were all around Vincent's fist.
Only after the 5th hit did he stop and stand up and take a deep breath.
He placed his hands on his face and slowly slid them up towards his hair, painting it red.
He turned around and walked towards the river.
Ron was nearby lying on the ground. He fainted after the man's leg was sliced and ripped. It was too much for a 10-year-old boy.
Bella on the other hand already left the water. She looked at cruelly killed corpses and then glanced at Vincent and his body which was painted in blood. Her heart was already beating so fast that she might receive a heart attack if it didn't calm down. When her gaze accidentally falls on his lower body which was in a half-erect state, it makes things even worse. Fear painted her heart, but there was also something she didn't notice yet. Heavy blush emerged on her young and beautiful face.
As she looked at his dick and then forced herself to look up, she noticed his red eyes. Suddenly, Bella remembered the hooded guy with the same red eyes when she was still in the Imperial Capital. Their build was also the same and he also was leaving the Capital.
"It was you," Bella said without thinking.
Vincent heard her voice and turned to look at her.
"You know me? You really know me?" Vincent curiously asked, if she knows him, then he will kill her and that guy not far away.
"Ah… I saw you in the Capital, I was in the carriage beside you. You wore the hood." Bella's clear voice was quite charming. She was still shivering slightly each time Vincent looked at her.
'Oh, I guess she doesn't know me. Good for her.'
"Judging from your robe, you should be from the Teren family, right?"
"Yes, I am. C-Can you protect me before my uncle's arrival? We will pay you handsomely!" Bella said as she continued to look at his eyes and time at his lower sword. The fear in her heart had already mostly vanished and was replaced by hope and something else. Something that she never felt before.
Vincent looked at her and was about to answer when he heard a voice.
"Huh? What is this? Where are those 3 idiots?"
