The cabin was filled with laughter. His wife making tea, training his son, teaching his son to read and his wife giving birth to his son, all those memories came rushing back to him.
Watching his son's neck gushing with blood petrified him, he was gurgling with blood and only the white of his eyes could be seen as he was covered with by his own blood from head to toe. Dravi's mouth was agape as he was so pained and terrified that his voice could not escape from his throat. He must be living in hell right now, perhaps dying for him might be greater compared now.
Looking at Dravi's expression the bandits could not contain their laughter.
""HAHAHAHAHA"" The bandits laugh together. The bandit lets go of Dave's hair as Dave's kneeling body went down forward hitting the blooded ground with a thud.
"Welp, its your turn old man" said the captain as he looked at his subordinates.
"Give me a rusty sword, we'll impale him with a rusty sword!" the captain added with a smirk.
After receiving the rusty sword without any unnecessary dialogues the captain suddenly struck Dravi's back impaling him with the sword, the entire blade of the sword went down to the soil completely impaling him.
Dravi who was impaled kept staring at the body of his son trying to reach his hands onto him before the life in eyes left his body.
"Plunder, lets go plunder!" The captain roared waving his sword at the sky.
""Plunder!!"" The entire bandit followed. They ransacked the entire house fortunately they were not able to find the trap door below the bed. Milia who was inside was covering his mouth with both hands after noticing that the one who entered his house were the bandits and after hearing them talk about his two beloved.
They killed a few livestock and they had set a camp fire nearby the cabin. After cooking the livestock they enjoyed a delicious meal. The bandits that came here were 30 including the captain but now they only consisted of 10 members left luckily they got a few silver jewels which would cost hefty amount of silver coins and many livestocks that cold be sold for around 50 gold coins after all 3 months amount of livestock is very very much expensive.
"Enjoying the meal, huh" A unfamiliar voice echoed behind them as a man standing to be around 7ft tall covered by darkness yet his eyes were glaring at them. His black coat was fluttering, he stood menacingly.
"Motherf-" before the bandit could finish his sentence he was choked and was lift up by the tall man. The bandit tried to punch the man but he could not reach him so he hit his arms.
The bandit woke up from the shock, all of them grabbed their respective weapons as they pointed it at the man.
"State your name and affiliation, you son of bitch!" The captain roared as he pointed his sword at him. Although he looked tough his entire body is sweating profusely.
Custos gave a glimpse to the captain before showing a smile at him, this sent shivers to the captain and his legs almost turned limp and jelly. A snap was heard before he removes his arms from the bandit's neck. With a loud thud the body hit to the ground.
"I was watching your battle. I must say I was quite entertained." Custos grinned. He was watching them fight yet he did not do anything to help so they thought he must not be a law officer from the southern region.
"Do you want the things we've got?!" The captain said nervously. He would be more willing to sacrifice his people inside of him than giving the treasures he ransacked.
"Nahh, I'm here to kill you all. You see I was once a part of a large army and I must proudly say I have slaughtered many more than you all would combine and I have killed them in a very brutal way than you guys could imagine." Custos said smiling. He was once a protector a person who helps but he was also a hypocrite who kills brutally. A very hypocrite at that.
He rushed forward grabbing the captains face, lifting the captains body before pounding it to the ground several times. The scene shocked them. Imagine a tall man grabbing a burly man and smashing the burly man's body several times to the ground making the ground crack resulting the burly mans body to splash blood.
The sound of flesh banging to the ground continued for some time before Custos let go. He stood looking at the stunned bandits, he felt nothing but fear from them.
"Oh, no. Im surrounded by 9 people. No let me rephrase that, all i'm surrounded is dead man" Custos laugh then he lift his foot stomping the captains chest which in result it caved in.
Later that night the entire bandit was wiped out. The bandit captain's chest was caved in, another bandits eyes and ears were gone, some bandits lost their both arms and legs and fear was imprinted in their faces they were butchered like some kind of swine, some died less painfully by being stabbed at their skull.
