Chapter 55 - Training
The leader of the thirteen n was dumbfounded at how nonchalant Ren was being. This was then followed by rage. The leader pulled out a sword that was hidden at the back of his clothes. It was a pretty sturdy short sword, which he pointed at Ren. The others also took out their weapons and surrounded Ren.
Seeing that he was being surrounded Ren smiled his vicious smile and took a branch from a nearby tree. He then suppressed his mana to the utmost limit and only focused a bit of mana to the branch so it won't break. Once he was ready he took a stance. The thirteen n surrounding him felt like they were being smacked in their faces.
What was this? Was he making fun of them? He thinks that a tree branch is enough to fend them off. The thirteen n couldn't take it anymore and attacked Ren.
The first thing they did was throw so knives at him. Ren using the branch he was holding deflected all the incoming knives. Aside from using his mana to enhance the branch Ren didn't use it on anything else. So right now Ren was just using his actual physical strength to react and deflect the incoming knives.
Seeing Ren masterfully deflect the knives, the n weren't surprised since Alastair an advanced Rank swordsman was easily defeated by him. Ren's estimated strength was at Master rank nearing Saint rank. Those knives that they threw serve another purpose, there were so strings attached to them, so the n pulled on the strings and tried to bind Ren.
Of course, Ren already noticed the strings and when he saw the n pulled on them, he quickly slashed downwards cutting the strings apart. The n were shocked to see this, since those strings were made from the web of the sand spider an A rank monster. It is said that their webs were stronger than steel. Now they saw soone actually cut them using a tree branch that wasn't even sharp. This scene wasn't sothing their mind could comprehend.
Still, they already started the fight so they must end it. No matter how strong Ren was he was still only one person as long as they cooperate properly and attack him together then they would still be able to overwhelm him and win. Well, that's what they believe.
Ren heard sothing heading his way and using the tree branch he deflected it. The thing that ca was an arrow covered with poison. It seems like the two hidden people couldn't wait anymore and started attacking him with arrows.
Ren who was able to deflect all the incomings attack without the use of mana felt bored. This wasn't even good as a warm-up, these people that ca to take his life didn't even have one magician.
Whoever sent them to kill him had underestimated him too much. Ren then decided to close his eyes and simply feel the movents of his opponents. He sharpened his senses and continued to deflect all attacks while his eyes were closed.
...
After a few seconds of attacking Ren, the thirteen n finally noticed what was happening. Ren had closed his eyes and not only that he hasn't moved from the spot he was standing on since the beginning. He hasn't even attack them yet he only did it once and that was to cut the strings attached to the knives. Aside from that ti all Ren has done was deflect their attacks.
It was at this mont, they knew what kind of monster they actually provoked. To him, they weren't even opponents to take seriously. So that's why he was so nonchalant about being targeted.
The thirteen n decided to flee while they have a chance. It doesn't matter if they won't be able to kill Ren now, as long as they have there lives they can try again, with a better plan.
"Huh? Where do you think you guys are going?" The mont they heard Ren said this, they felt a suffocating killing intent directed at them. It was at this mont they truly understood how much Ren was holding back against them.
This soul-shaking killing intent was enough to stop their movents. The thirteen were gritting their teeth as they tried to make their legs move. They then heard the agonizing scream of two of their companions.
They looked behind them and saw that the who hid themselves atop the trees were burnt into charcoal. Ren had used a [fireball] spell at the two.
Ren then sighed as he spoke to the remaining eleven. "I didn't want to use magic for this whole bout, but you guys were fleeing so I had no choice. So now I'm going to give you guys two choices. Choice number one you flee and I will kill you or you stay and fight until the end. Decide now, how do you guys want to die? Shafully or with honor."
Once Ren was done speaking, the eleven remaining n looked at each other, and as if they were talking telephonically, they all decided to run in different directions. Ren who saw the eleven n fleeing once again sighed.
"Shafully it is." The mont they heard Ren say this, the felt a gust of wind pass them by. In the next second, they saw Ren was already right in front of them. Seeing this they were about to run in a different direction.
"You guys weren't even good enough to be my training dummies." These were the last words the n heard, as they lost consciousness.
...
Sohow the leader of the group was spared as he watched the heads of his companions fly off their heads. A rain of blood fell down from the sky as he saw the monster who did this slowly approach him with a smile on his face.
"So tell , who is it that ordered you to kill ? I want to personally express my gratitude for sending so training dummies, but I need to give a complaint as well since the training dummies weren't even good enough to give a warm-up."
