Zephyr checked his storage and marveled at the amount of coins and items it now contained.
The storage was heaven-defying for Zephyr, because it's limitless in what could be placed inside, and most impressively, he could carry it with him through his regress.
Zephyr continued his journey, determined to fulfill his promise of eliminating all bandits in the world.
And just like that, days passed, then months, and finally years.
It had been five years since Zephyr's first attack on the initial bandit he had eradicated.
Over the five years, news spread throughout the entire Alvaran Empire about a person hunting down all bandits.
To the Empire, bandits were pests, so the officials were pleased with this hunter. They took no action to capture Zephyr and instead allowed him to eliminate all the bandits, which also benefited them greatly.
For the bandits, he was a nightmare. Most bandit leaders were at most 2-Star Knights, while Zephyr they estimated to was atleast a 3-Star Knight.
There were hardly any 3-Star Knight leaders among the bandits, and those who were, were very few. If someone reached the level of a 3-Star Knight, they typically chose to work for the empire, where they could gain significant benefits and high status among the people.
However, the bandits survived because their bases were well-hidden and their numbers were large.
High-star knights had no interest in them because their priority was to fight demons.

By the side of a river, a man was seen with one hand buried in the water.
The entire river was now steaming due to the heat, and underneath, electricity was visible, wrapped around many fish and pulling them towards the man like a rope.
This man was none other than Zephyr. He had recently reached the rank of 4-Star Knight and was testing out new abilities he gained from his increased strength.
In his previous life, his appearance could be considered average like just an average passerby person that you would easily forget.
Now, it could be said that his looks are now above average, though many scary scars on his hands could be seen.
Zephyr liked these scars because they represented his struggles and progress.
Zephyr prepared the fish he caught and ate them.
He had a target, a nearby bandit base by the river, so after eating, he immediately headed there.
Upon arriving at the bandit base, Zephyr immediately saw other bandits who had just arrived.
They had captives—two bound women who were crying.
Zephyr remained calm, his face showing no emotion, as he had seen such scenes many times and had grown numb to them.
Zephyr leaped towards them and released electricity from his sword, striking the bandits.
"Who?!" A bandit in front quickly looked to see who had attacked.
But his face instantly paled upon seeing who it was.
They knew nothing about the hunter attacking bandits—the name, the star knight level.
They knew almost nothing about him, except for one thing—the attribute of the Bandits killer: lightning.
Before the bandit could speak again, he was already dead.
