One-Sided Slaughter!
Chapter 88: One-Sided Slaughter!
As the four members of Loki Familia departed, Ethan's expression changed rapidly.
Haruhime, who had been observing him, combined with his previous unusual behavior, instantly understood that something was amiss.
However, she remained unaware of the specifics.
"Haruhime, stay here and don't wander off. I'll leave the snow wolves to protect you," Ethan instructed.
"Understood," Haruhime replied obediently.
She knew that if something were to happen, she would only hinder the boy, so she readily complied.
Ethan, with full strength in his legs, swiftly dashed into the distance.
"Damn it, we've been discovered!"
From atop the canopy, the bald man immediately realized that Ethan had detected their presence.
His three companions were also surprised but were unconcerned about this situation.
After all, they had slain countless adventurers over the years, including not only Lv1 but also Lv2 and even Lv3 adventurers.
In their eyes, Ethan was merely a talented rookie, a mere Lv1 adventurer who posed no threat whatsoever.
"Since we've been discovered, let's just take action directly. It was bound to happen sooner or later," One of them suggested.
"Right, but keep an eye on that fox-eared girl. I want to 'savor' her taste carefully," another added with a lecherous grin.
"Hmm? This guy's fast. Looks like the boy isn't a simple rookie," The bald man observed as Ethan swiftly weaved through the undergrowth below.
His speed was far beyond that of an ordinary Lv1 newbie.
"Remember, we need both of them alive. If you kill them, don't blame me for taking your heads to apologize to the boss," He didn't forget to warn.
"Got it, don't worry," One of the companions replied nonchalantly, before leaping down from the canopy, followed by the other two.
Ethan, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but smirk.
They truly underestimated him.
Whether they had planned this for a long time or simply intended to rob him, their fate was already sealed.
"[Mana Burst——]"
With the flow of magic, Ethan's physical abilities surged significantly.
Since these malicious guys had reached the 22nd floor, they were obviously no ordinary small fries.
They were at least Lv2, possibly even Lv3, so Ethan didn't dare to be careless.
"[Ratio Technique!]"
In Ethan's 'eyes,' the bodies of the three men before him were divided into 'tenth segments,' and the points belonging to '3/7' were clearly visible.
"Boy, you—"
'Pfft——'
With a sudden burst of speed, Ethan accelerated once more before the trio could react.
His black sword slashed down, severing both of the first man's legs in one smooth motion, as if the man had no bones and his legs were made of sponge.
'Thud——'
"Argh!!!"
Deprived of his legs, the man collapsed, his agonizing screams echoing through the forest.
'Pfft——'
At that moment, a snow wolf, which had been lying in wait, launched a surprise attack from behind.
It sank its teeth into the neck of another man, delivering a fatal blow.
Under the snow wolf's sharp fangs, his neck was torn apart.
'Slash——'
The remaining man, before he could even react, was pierced through the body by the black sword.
Three men, all Lv2 adventurers who had roamed the Dungeon for over a decade, known for their ruthlessness, were now eliminated within a mere dozen seconds.
Well, not all of them died.
The man with severed legs remained alive, though the excruciating pain would make his life worse than death.
However, the other two weren't so lucky, one killed by the snow wolf and the other by Ethan.
"Impossible!"
The bald man on the canopy stared at the scene below in disbelief.
His three subordinates had been wiped out just like that?
"Hmm?"
After dealing with the three underlings, Ethan looked up towards the canopy.
Although he didn't know the exact number of malicious guys he sensed, the malicious intent hadn't vanished yet.
It still lingered, indicating the presence of others besides the crippled man at his feet.
"Damn it, he's spotted me, I need to run away—"
Instinctively, the bald man prepared to flee.
The instantaneous death of three of his underlings had left him utterly shaken.
Moreover, he needed to report this matter to his boss.
This deal was turning out to be quite troublesome; their target was no mere rookie, his strength was formidable.
'Whoosh——'
The bald man leaped down from the canopy.
Since this was the Large Tree Labyrinth, with towering trees and branches everywhere, chasing him here wouldn't be easy.
"Trying to run away, huh?"
Beside Ethan, several 'cracks' slowly tore open the space.
From within, numerous swords emerged.
This was his Reality Marble version of Gate of Babylon.
Ethan had merely refrained from using it, not because he couldn't.
In fact, he had been stockpiling weapons precisely for situations like this.
'Swoosh swoosh swoosh——'
Sharp swords, like arrows, shot out continuously from the cracks in the Reality Marble.
"What?"
'Clang——Clang——'
The bald man was startled by this unexpected turn of events.
He had never encountered such a fighting style before.
However, despite his initial shock, his instinct as a Lv3 adventurer was not to be underestimated.
He brandished his large sword, deflecting the incoming swords.
"Trace on—"
In Ethan's hand, a 'bow' gradually materialized.
This bow was one he had seen in Tsubaki's workshop, a high-quality weapon.
While not considered a 'first-class armament,' it definitely ranked among the top 'second-class armaments.'
'Whoosh——'
He released an arrow the next second.
The bald man, whose attention was fully occupied by the swords, failed to notice the apparent 'arrow' hurtling towards him.
'Pfft——'
"Argh!"
The arrow successfully pierced his shoulder.
'Pfft——Pfft——'
His shoulder and right arm were injured, rendering him unable to continue deflecting the incoming swords.
One after another, the summoned swords pierced his body.
'Thud——'
Struck by multiple swords, he collapsed, unable to escape any further.
"Boy, who the hell are you!"
The fallen bald man, despite his severe injuries, looked even more menacing with his already fierce features.
"You tried to attack me without even knowing who I am?" Ethan didn't know what to say.
"Boy, I admit defeat this time. Name your price," The bald man pleaded.
"Sorry, I'm not a generous person. The best outcome for those who wanted to harm me is to be buried six feet under the ground," Ethan replied coldly.
"You—"
'Pfft——'
Without hesitation, Ethan swung his sword, slicing through the bald man's throat and ending his sinful life.
