Bab 29: Chapter 28 - Fated Encounter (1)
Both Noir and Polpo scattered themself. Polpo sneak around the trees and found 2 bandits near one another, he prepare himself and taken a stance of stabbing someone. As Polpo dashes forward quickly to try and stab one of the bandits. One of the bandit got surprise as Polpo manage to stab him in the heart.
The other bandit got startle as he start to screamed out and draw his weapon.
"YOU LITTLE BASTARD!"
Before the bandit manage to draw his sword completely a brown magic circle appear on the ground just below the man weapon. Polpo focused his magic on that spell as the ground start to shake, a sword like shape came out of it as it hit the man weapon and flung it away.
[Tier 1 Earth Magic : Earth Re-shape]
Polpo take out his sword from the bandit heart and went for the other bandit. Polpo manage to stab the bandit in the heart just the same as the first bandit he stabbed. As more scream can be heard, the bandit leader became startled.
In the same moment as Polpo charge in, Noir also charge in with some spell. A green magic circle appear below him as Noir angle it, and a red magic circle appear on both of his knuckles as a flame start to spark from it.
[Tier 1 Wind Magic : Leap of Magic]
[Tier 1 Fire Magic : Ignite]
Noir proceed to dash quickly to the other bandits as he sees 2 bandit are near each other. Noir suddently appear in front of the bandit as he got startle. Noir punch him in the head as the man got slammed on the ground his face a bit burned off and the ground shattered a little bit. The other bandit got startle as they instinctively draw their weapon but before the other bandit could swing his sword Noir swing his left arm and does a left hook on the bandit stomach.
The impact with the ignited flame on the brass knuckle made the bandit lose it's consciousness and fall to the ground. As the other 6 bandits got startle by the scream and noises, the bandit leader shouted at them.
"OI! KILL THESE DAMN BRATS! THEY DARE TO KILLED SOME OF US!"
4 Bandits start to approach both Noir and Polpo, as the other 2 bandits keep on trying to bust down the door of the carriage. Polpo and Noir grouped up as they bump into one another back. From the tree, Sheila observing on the kids while staying hidden.
"Hmmm, interesting.. They both regroup so they can watch one another back since they are outnumbered... Only Noir would think of this, for Polpo.. It seems it's because his animal instinct that people said Anima has..."
2 men come from Polpo side while the other 2 come from Noir side. As all 4 bandits draw their weapon and charge at Noir and Polpo. Noir taken a stance similar to Polpo, while Polpo taken a stance similar to Noir.
"Let's do this Polpo!" Noir said as they both dashes forward to the bandits in front of them.
Polpo dashes forward to the 2 men in front of him as they manage to hold off Polpo slashes. Although they seems to have difficulties blocking and parrying Polpo slashes, it seems his strength is much stronger than average adults. Polpo viciously keep on attacking with his sword without stopping while the 2 bandit struggling to keep blocking Polpo attacks.
While on the other side Noir manage to hold both bandit with his ignite spell and made them hesitate to attack. Noir focus his ether as he start to use the flow of ether he made while doing the 2nd test Solean give to Noir. It seems the roun barrier has made Noir figure out a more effective way to flow his ether.
He flow his ether similar to a spider making it's web. Noir understood every fiber of his body, every way to flow his ether effectively. It seems with this way of using ether made Noir physical capability almost similar to Polpo. Noir became faster and faster almost outspeed the bandits that swing their sword onto him. Noir just keep on dodging their attack as he wait for oppurtunity.
One of the bandit get their sword high up and tries to swing down onto Noir. That's when Noir proceed to do a right hook on the man stomach completely knocking him out of the battle, while the other bandit start to became anxious and scared of Noir.
While Polpo manage to overpower one of the bandit and keep on clashing his sword downward on the bandit. As the bandit fall to the ground on his back trying to hold Polpo ferocious attacks. The other bandit became scared of Polpo savagery and back away for a moment. Polpo keeps on attacking downward with his sword as slowly the bandit weapon break into 2 pieces. Polpo taken the change as raise his sword to the sky and aim the blade to the man. Polpo swing it downward as the blade hit the bandit heart as blood start to gushing out from his heart and mouth.
Polpo stare at the other bandit while they backed away, it seems Polpo animal instinct wanted more blood. As Polpo pupils became smaller and sharper, he lock his next prey. But before Polpo could go for the other bandit who is in fear, Noir out of nowhere stop him by standing right in front of him.
"That's enough Polpo!" Noir shouted to calmed down Polpo.
The bandits became fearful of the two kids that attacked them. While the bandit leader just laugh loudly.
"HAHAHAH! YOU FUCKERS! YOU ALL FEAR A DAMN LITTLE BRAT?! SO STUPID HAH!"
The bandit leader seems to be quite confident with his ability as he draw a greatsword from his back. The bandits leader start to approach Noir and Polpo.
"You two!" he pointed at the 2 bandits trying to break in "Get it done faster!"
The bandit leader gotten closer and closer each step to Noir and Polpo. As the closer he gets, the bandit leader seems to be very tall and huge, similar to how tall Noir father is. Noir gets nervous for a second, as he prepare himself. Polpo ears perk up as he lift his sword again and dashes forward to stab the man.
The bandit leader raise his sword to the sky, as he swing downward. Polpo manage to get close enough to stab him, but they would trade blow with one another. With Noir quick thinking, he dashes himself forward with the tier 1 wind spell and appear right in front of the man face. Noir swing his arm upward and uppercut the bandit leader making his greatsword swing wobbled and missed Polpo.
But before Polpo could stab the man in it's vital area, a blast of fire appear all of the sudden from the man chest blowing away Polpo and Noir. Noir crash himself to the carriage as it start to shaken the carriage and a girl scream can be heard from the inside.
Polpo manage to stand up again after the blast, but it seems Noir gets most of the blast and got injured the most. The bandit leader just laugh loudly and confidently.
"HAHAHAH! HOW DID YOU LIKE THAT YOU BRATS! IT'S A MAGIC ARMOR THAT I BUY WITH ALL MY GOLDS! THIS MAGIC ARMOR WILL ACTIVATE A TIER 3 FIRE MAGIC AND BLASTED IT OFF TO WHERE THE ATTACK CAME FROM! YOU BRATS ARE NOTHING AGAINST ME! HAHAHAH!"
Polpo became angrier as his eyes sharpen and he grit his teeth. Polpo growl at the bandit leader like a bear. The bandit leader just laugh louder and louder, as Noir tries his hardest to get back up. Noir focused his ether on the part of his body that hurt the most. As it seems to ease the pain, but it seems the ether cannot heal the wound.
Noir manage to stand up with his hand holding onto the carriage to help him get up. His right head start to bleed out, as he feels that some of his ribs are broken. scratches all over his body and a lot of burned mark on his clothes and him body.
Sheila became more and more impatient to kill the leader, as she sees Noir and Polpo is quite roughed up. But Sheila calmed herself down and just wait how the situation plays out.
"Ugh... This is quite a predicament.. If I knew the leader had Magical armor I would've taken care of it myself... But those kids need to learn how to fight against someone like that..."
But all of the sudden Sheila could hear a horse steps not far from their location. As Sheila taken a higher position to see, a horse can be seen slowly approaching the bandits location. There seems to be someone riding on the horse. A hooded figure can be seen slowly approaching...
