Chapter 7 - Looks like I won't sleep out tonight

While the other man looked at his dead brother on the ground like a dead dog, he said angrily with a look of sadness on his face

"How... how could you do this to my brother... you bastard?"

The man suddenly raised his hand and a small fireball shot towards Amazaki at great speed

"Damn"

When Amazaki saw that fireball heading towards him at high speed, all he could think of was to retreat back as quickly as he could, but it disappeared very quickly and then appeared 10 meters away, leaving traces of electrical charges on the ground.

"Shhhh"

While Amazaki looked at his body, which began to emit light electric sparks, and tried to understand what was happening, he said in astonishment

"What? What's going on here? How did you do this? I was just trying to retreat, but my body... on its own, as if it had been accustomed to this movement for years. Is this because of that skill I heard... but this skill is not the same as the other man's, the only difference is that this one is much faster."

As he saw that man, Amazaki avoided his movement, his face turned black with anger and said

"You bastard… and you use… my brother's move… too… I will kill you."

He drew an ordinary-looking sword, but as soon as he held it, the sword began to shake very quickly, giving the sword a mirage appearance of two swords stacked together. They began to move away from each other, making it appear as if he was holding two swords instead of one.

"Zzzzzzz"

Then he started running towards Amazaki, screaming

"I died"

But how could he be able to touch him after he had now learned that ability, but Amazaki did not attack, but rather began to avoid

They hit him one after the other while he analyzed the opponent's skills because he simply wanted to make sure that he was able to control this skill that he had just learned and he also wanted to check if that ability could copy what he saw, but unfortunately nothing happened and he began to say to himself with a sigh.

"So vision and movement are not the cause, so there must be a cause..."

As soon as he attacked that man with his sword, aiming for Amazaki's head, his hand moved quickly to suddenly grab the man's hand, and then...

Spin it back using the burst of light, then

"Crack"

"Ahhh… my hand… you crazy fucker."

The man fell screaming to the ground while holding his broken hand, with signs of hatred and fear mixed in his heart

He looked desperately at Amazaki, who saw him stop as if he was thinking about something else and did not care about him, and even his expression did not change.

She remained calm, as if he had done nothing, and even as if he had not seen anything, even as if that man was nothing more than an insect that he stepped on.

Midway

"Hmm.. What's going on? I don't have to touch him to get his skills. This is what I read in one of the manga.. No wait."

"Hehehehe"

"Let's try something else."

Amazaki turned and suddenly turned towards the man with an evil smile on his face while his eyes shone an ominous yellow color as if he had realized something good for him, but it would be bad for that man.

As soon as that man saw Amazaki's smile, goosebumps erupted like acupuncture needles all over his body because

He realized that this smile was not a smile of victory, nor even the smile of an avenger who had achieved his revenge, and even in his entire life and the powerful half-beasts he encountered, and it was not like that, because this smile would only be found on a monster about to devour its prey.

He fell into extreme despair, as if all he had left was to cry out of extreme despair. All he sees in front of him now is death. Who cares about his brother now, or whatever his name is? The important thing is his survival. This is the only idea this man is thinking about.

As Amazaki approaches slowly with a smile still plastered on his face, the man tries to escape

But his feet fail him due to the intense trembling, and he falls to the ground again. What he sees in front of him is not an 18-year-old boy, but rather a monster who enjoys torturing his victims.

"Wh-what do you want? Go away, do you want money?

Amazaki suddenly stopped while he was close to the man, as if he was thinking about his offer

That man finds some hope of salvation, so he said

"…If money is what you want, my brother over there has 100 gold coins and I will give you 150 gold coins."

Amazaki interrupted that man by saying:

Well, in a normal situation, I would have accepted your offer... but unfortunately I am doing this now because I want to try something important that I may not be able to do even if I had the money... so just take your luck."

The man replied desperately

"what?"

Amazaki continued his words

"But on the other hand, I'm lucky this time... It doesn't matter if I accept or reject your offer because I will take that money in the end... from your corpses."

"No..no..please stop."

"Crack"

The man's neck was broken while a look of despair was still plastered on his face

Amazaki hears that voice again

"Little Fireball

"Multi-Sword Mirage

Then his evil smile appeared again, as if he could not suppress his joy and said:

"Hahahaha… So this is how this ability works. It's really amazing."

"Although it may cause some problems in the future, it is for the best."

Then he turned to the two dead men near him and sighed

Now I have to find a way to get rid of these bodies, because I don't want even the slightest suspicion against me, at least not now... but first, let's see what they have."

"So he started searching in their pockets, and it was natural for him, as if he was searching in his own pocket with a calm expression and did not appear to be

"I'm concerned that these two people are dead."

Finally, he found a total of approximately 250 gold coins, in addition to a strange gem of a dark black color

Amazaki held the black jewel while checking it

"This jewel is strange... and it also seems precious, and it does not seem to be the kind that a highwayman would carry with him. Anyway, it is mine now and it does not matter who its original owner was."

His face turned into joy as he looked at the money and said

"Looks like I won't be sleeping outside tonight hehehe..."

............….

And elsewhere... a girl with silver hair, a charming face, green eyes, and rather long ears

Yes, she is one of the fairies, one of the other races from this world. She looks angrily at an old man and says

"What? How did this happen? Who stole that jewel?

The old man responded with confusion

"I don't know... they were fast... yes, and they were wearing black clothes. I tried to resist, but they were strong."

The girl responded angrily

"Useless old man"

The old man replied while he did not dare to raise his head

"...I...I'm sorry..."

The girl responds again

Damn it, even though I shadowed them with fake vehicles and even sent the jewel with an old human like you, they found out. How is this possible? I thought my plan was perfect.

Also, why would they attack the fake vehicles as well if they knew where the real one was, would they also do that to deceive me? Are they making fun of me?

While the old man did not utter a word, but remained silent, trembling with fear, waiting for this matter to pass well because he does not know what would happen if this young lady knew that the jewel was stolen by just some bandits."

Suddenly the girl calmed down and began to think calmly, then said:

"Okay, show me where it was stolen... Maybe there is still a trace for us to follow."

The old man responded with a surprised look

"what? Place?"

The girl responds

"Yes, we must see the location of the theft first before we take any action."

The old man replied as if he was awaiting his death sentence

"H-Okay..."
