Throne

Chapter 27

Third Person's POV

"Mahusay talaga ang boss natin. Siguradong marami tayong makukuhang mamahalin na gamit at pera dito." One of the bandits joyfully said.

"Paano kung malalakas ang adventurers na yon? Siguradong mamatay tayo dito." May pag-aalinlangan na komento naman ulit ng isa pa.

"Leader, sigurado ka ba na hindi tayo aatakihin ng demonyong monster na 'yon? Nakita nyo naman kung gaano kalaki at agresibo ang nilalang na'yon. Ni hindi nga natin alam kung anong klaseng halimaw iyon." Another bandit commented.

Aside from the monster, these bandits are also trying to invade the place where the merchants are currently camping, with the intention of robbing them and killing them if they insist on not giving what they want.

"Tahimik! Kung naduduwag kayo bumalik na kayo sa kampo at kayo mismo ang magsabi sa boss na hindi nyo kaya ang mga walang kwentang merchants na ito." Asik ng kinikilalang leader ng group of bandits na ito.

Nanahimik naman ang lahat at nagsimula nang ilabas ng leader ang mga botelya na naglalaman ng maiitim na usok.

"Ah, Leader?" Mahinang tawag ng pinakabata sa samahan ngunit sapat na para makarating sa tainga ng leader.

The leader being annoyed, look for the one who's calling him.

"Ano!? Magrereklamo ka rin!?" Sigaw nito. Nakangiwi naman na sumagot ang tumawag dito.

"Hindi po, lalabas na po kasi. Magpapaalam lang sana ako." Namilipit na ito habang animo'y may sinasalo sa kanyang pwetan. Pinagpapawisan narin ito kaya't agad na nakuha ng Leader ang ibig sabihin ng paalam nito.

"Bakit ka kasi kumain ng marami!? Bilisan mo bago ka pa may makasalubong na adventurer dyan! Ano sino pa ang dudumi sa inyo!?" Inis na sigaw ng leader pagkatapos ay bumulong pa ito ng 'mga walang kwenta'. The youngest bandit who asked for permission immediately run away to let his dump out.

"Maghanda na kayong lahat. Siguraduhin ninyo na nainom nyo ang antidote dahil ilang minuto na lang babasagin na natin ang botelya na ito." Anunsyo ng leader sa labindalawa nyang kasamahan. Tumango naman ang lahat.

"Leader, kailangan ba talaga nating gamitin yan? Hindi ba pwedeng intayin na lang natin na mapatay ng halimaw na yon ang mga adventurers para manakaw na natin ang mga kayamanan?" Tanong naman ng isa sa mga bandido.

"Wala na bang ibang laman yang mga utak nyo? Kapag iintayin pa natin na maubos ang mga adventurers at merchants na yon, madadamay tayo sa magiging hapunan ng halimaw na yon. At saka pinainom tayo ng antidote ng boss natin siguradong di natin ikamamatay ang usok na ito." Sagot ng leader.

"Tama. Tama." At nagtanguan naman ang lahat.

"Ano may magrereklamo pa ba sa inyo? Lumapit na dito sa harapan kung gusto nyo ng ako na mismo ang pumatay sa inyo! Mga walang utak akala mo ngayon pa lang magnanakaw!" Sermon ng leader habang dinuduro ang mga kasamahan nito.

Lahat ay nagsi-iling na at wala ng nagreklamo.

Meanwhile, at a nearby location, Yveria, who was attempting to relax for a few moments, became annoyed by the noise. She can hear the adventurers and merchants bickering, the monster roaring, and even the bottles cracking as the bandit leader throws them to the ground one by one.

"Damn it! Can't these people shut their f*cking mouth up even just for a second?" Yveria sat, staring coldly into the air. She never had a chance to rest properly before being transported into this world, and she is attempting to do so even if only for a short period of time.

"It appears that they are presenting their heads to me." Yveria murmured, stretching her neck as though preparing for something.

Yveria's POV

Let's see what weapon I can come up with...

I can't use my valuable firearms here since I don't want anyone coming after me at Satie. Because magic exists in this world, the manner this world investigates should not be overlooked. When I reach Dukedom, I have to focus on my plans; no one is allowed to intrude and squander my time.

I suppose the weapons that exist in this world would be appropriate.

I stepped out of the carriage after deciding what I was going to use to put an end to these nuisances.

"Hmmm... which direction should I go first?" I grinned.

Why am I so enthralled by this?

I think I'll have some fun first in this direction. I turned to my left and began walking in that direction.

This is where the sound of the bottles being smashed came from. I stopped for a moment when I spotted a strange smoke being carried by the wind in my direction as if someone had purposefully generated this smoke because they knew the wind would carry it to the camp's direction.

It's rather clever of them to exploit nature to attain their goals, isn't it? I keep walking till I notice the silhouettes of 12 men.

As I got closer, I began to wonder who these people were, but judging by their old-fashioned hauberk and brigandine, there's no doubt that they're bandits.

None of them appear to be sophisticated enough to understand alchemy and produce this toxic smoke...

"Who made this poisonous smoke?" I asked. Looks can be deceiving, I could just ask them to make sure.

I waited for an answer but no one wants to open their mouth. Bingi ba ang mga ito o ang ginamit kong lenggwahe ay wala sa kanilang bokabolaryo?

Third Person's POV

Yveria wouldn't know how terrifying her presence is for the bandits.

Naguguluhang nakatingin lang sa dalaga ang mga bandido, hindi makapaniwala na buhay pa ang dalaga kahit kanina pa nito nalalanghap ang nakakalasong usok sa paligid.

'Marahil ay isa sya sa mga adventurers pero bakit parang walang epekto sa kanya ang usok sa paligid? May traydor ba sa samahan na nagbigay ng antidote sa adventurers? Hindi pwede to, kapag wala kaming naiuwi na yaman paparusahan kami ng boss.' The leader thought at this time.

"No one will answer?" Yveria's cold voice echoes in their ears.

"Bakit namin sasabihin sayo? Hindi kami tanga para mauto mo." Matapang na sagot ng leader.

"Marahil ay nagtitigas tigasan ka lang ngayon kaya't nakakaya mo ang lason sa paligid pero mamaya lang ay tutumba ka rin dahil ang lason ng usok na ito ay hindi kakayanin ng ordinaryong adventurer na katulad mo." Segunda ng Isa pang bandido.

"Hahaha leader hindi yata naiintindihan ng babaeng adventurer na ito ang kinalalagyan nya ngayon. Madami tayo at Isa lang sya, siguradong mahinang mahika lang ang alam nito dahil nasa capital palagi ang magagaling na babaeng adventurer." Mayabang na komento naman ng Isa pang bandido.

Tunay nga na mas lamang sa dami ang mga bandido at lamang din sa lakas kung ikukumpara sa ordinaryong adventurer. Bandits aren't just bandits by name, they know how to fight and their strength shouldn't be underestimated since like adventurers some of them also know magic and some have unbelievable strength.

Now, their confidence has been boosted since they believe Yveria is just an ordinary adventurer that they can defeat. But too bad Yveria isn't an ordinary being they can kill however they want.

"Simply state what is requested of you." Yveria stated calmly while drawing her blade.

'I never expected my sword collection would be useful because I just collect them for entertainment.' Yveria thought.

Bandits position themselves as Yveria draws her blade. They each have their own weaponry, such as daggers, swords, one-handed axes, and maces, as well as a few short polearms with a bow or a crossbow. Despite the fact that none of the bandits in this gang have mana, they assume they are stronger than the lady adventurer in front of them.

Yveria will use a claymore sword, a two-handed blade that, when paired with the might of a two-handed swing, will easily separate heads.
