Many more vulgar comnts followed by the other seven bandits. Axel did not interrupt them; instead only studied them with a curious glint, almost amused by their conversation. Surprisingly, all ten of them were 2nd phase Seekers.
Especially, the leader and the wild-revealing won were both peak 2nd-phase Seekers and quite strong for their level.
They were hiding their true power and presenting themselves as re 1st-phase beings. So random artifacts could not conceal the truth of their strength from his eyes. Axel was naturally suspicious; they couldn’t be re bandits, and he was interested as well.
He sighed as he asked, becoming irritated, "Are you gentlen and won done chattering?"
The wild won smiled seductively, "Hehe, little boy, quietly co with , I will show you true pleasure that the grood, delicate maids of your house could never give you."
She glanced over to the multiple large tree trunks which Axel casually threw away, and her voice intensified, "With your strength and charm, you might be able to satisfy , finally...."
From behind, the buff and tall leader snickered, "Damn bitch, are you saying I didn’t do you properly?"
The woman sneered, "Do you think I enjoy your dirty body?"
The leader only laughed, "Fair enough, and there’s probably so pretty little won inside the carriage, I will have fun with that."
Axel ignored the leader, gazing towards the won, his face showed a barely concealed trace of disgust as he spoke haughtily, "With all due respect. I don’t put my thing into dirty swamps. Let alone a whore like you."
The woman was stunned, her grinning face instantly fell, and a dark laughter grew on her lips. She gave Axel a nacing stare filled with killing intent.
The woman was about to say sothing, but Axel’s eyes turned to the Leader as he stated in a commanding tone, "Why don’t you tell who you people are? I reckon you are all escaped criminals, and criminals of such strength as well. It’s pretty rare."
"Then, I might consider taking you dogs under my wing. How about it?" he asked the leader expressionlessly.
This ti, all ten of the figures joined in the laughter of the wild won. Their evil smiles synchronizing and creating an ominous sight that would scare the souls of anyone walking through this dreadful forest.
Until their laughter froze all at once, in a single mont, this ti the leader and the Wild won both walked forward, in slow but asured steps. The leader drew a large machete-like sword, and the won pulled a thin but sharp spear.
Axel also walked forward, a slight smile on his lips, not a hint of fear in his eyes. The leader released his killing intent, combining with the wild won, both of their bloodlust pressed onto Axel. He had to admit, these thugs had pretty darn good killing intent. At least for their level, aning they must have killed many other influential people over the course of their lives.
Axel stopped in his tracks, only a distance of three ters between them, he revealed, "You’re not from Suncrest, I presu? Criminals of the other two great kingdoms, perhaps?"
Axel, with his sharp gaze, witnessed their slight change of expression and added another comnt, "Then from the minor kingdoms perhaps?"
An almost imperceptible tremor ran through the eyes of the Wild woman, and the other man, who looked similar to her, considering the contents of their conversation, must be her brother. His smile widened, tilting his head, he conferred, "So you two siblings are from the minor kingdoms, eh? Which minor kingdom might I ask?"
The woman growled, in unprecedented fury, "Fucking Brat, do you think you’re invincible just because you’re a 2nd phase Seeker? Why do you think we are still standing around, despite knowing your strength?"
The leader of the bandits spat venomously, "We don’t care who you are, wretch, you will suffer a fate worse than death, beyond your wildest dreams. I can promise that. The number of arrogant wretches we have killed surpasses your imagination, boy."
This ti, the brother of the wild won stepped forth, his eyes burning in a long forgotten vengeance of the past, "In the end, you noble-arrogant bastards are all the sa, you start groveling and begging the mont you realize that you are powerless and are nothing without the backing of your family."
But Axel had already stopped listening to their useless proclamations after the wild won’s statent. He asked, his voice frost cold, "You know my strength????"
Cold wind blew, making his blue hair flutter, and the world went into an ominous silence. Then Axel put a hand on his face and laughed; his laughter was unlike the bandits’, instead it was bright and crisp... almost lodious for his exceptionally high charm.
And yet, the wild birds in the vicinity cried out in fear; thousands and thousands of birds within almost the entire forest flew away in terror.
The bandits watched on this unusual sight in shock; they had traversed through every corner of this dangerous forest so many tis that they had lost count, but never once had they witnessed such a phenonon occur at any ti of the year.
But they ignored it and surrounded the laughing fool; the remaining ones readied their weapons, charging up with their mana.
They knew for a fact that this young man was sowhat strong; they were no fools after all. It was evident from how casually this noble heir threw away those large tree trunks with his bare hand, despite being just a second-phase Seeker, and how calm and collected the boy was in this situation.
The bandits thought of multiple possibilities: the bastard could be hiding his strength, but even if he was a 3rd phase Seeker, it would not be a problem, or maybe the bastard had powerful artifacts in his arsenal. Depending on his aspect.
The leader flared his mana, showing peak 1st phase strength, still hiding his true power. The man had killed countless stronger, arrogant opponents just through that thod alone, using shrewdness to overpower arrogant bastards who thought themselves invincible against a lower-phase opponent.
He dashed forward with a sharp killing intent, and so did the wild won and her brother. In contrast, the others stayed slightly behind, ready to deliver a follow-up attack if necessary. Still, they already believed that the noble brat was as good as dead, as the true strength of their leader and the wild won both were already at the third phase if they went all out for a short few minutes.
Axel only smiled. He glanced sideways for a mont, his perception remaining active in the entire surrounding area. His magic circuit was still active, greatly amplifying his physical prowess and senses as a passive free booster of almost his whole being, while in the runecaster aspect.
Maneuvering his body with great ease, Axel dodged the decisive blow from all three figures, using an unknown movent technique he had been experinting with, though only sotis if he had free ti in his hands.
With movents as graceful as a dancer, almost similar to the valkyrie herself, he first delivered a loud slap on the face of the wild won, then, clenching his fists, he threw two powerful punches on the stomach of the two n.
All three figures were forced backwards, the cheek of the woman had turned bright red, burning in pain, and the two n felt their internal organs rattle, making them want to vomit.
Axel smiled charmingly, rubbing his fingers; he was wearing gloves; otherwise, he would not dare slap that dirty woman. He sighed, "Co on now. I don’t have ti for this nonsense. All of you are in the 2nd phase. And you two are in the peak 2nd phase. Co at with all of your strength; otherwise, it’s too boring."
Axel brought out a rare grade 1st-tier rune sword, engraved with the rune of tal, granting the ability of sharpness, the very tool he had used to cut off the head of Morin Drake.
A terrifying power spread forth from the sword Axel was holding, and holding a rune sword automatically gave a boost to Axel’s attributes passively without doing anything.
The bandits were all shocked, first by the fact that he had casually dodged the blows of the three strongest among them, and then by the fact that this young noble seed to know their true power all this ti. Now bringing out such a profound rune tool in his hand.
How could they not have the brains to realize that this noble heir was anything but normal?
The unruly bandit leader sneered, his eyes greedily locked onto the rune sword. "Heh, such a good quality rune tool you have there, brat. I will make good use of it."
"Oh, this little thing, it’s my creation, and this is rely a low-quality one. I have many more powerful tools with ," Axel chuckled,
"I’m a runecaster after all," he stated with a proud smile.
