《Brat’s Superb Performance – Part2》

Phin, Meilan and three other ot to the front of the party As the first attacking group takes action, the otheronly a few mercenaries to protect the merchants

“Then, Let’s go,” said Phin

He led the way His body rass and the trees Threewith Meilan and Haroon Phin was on full alert, but he was still very fast It wasn’t easy for the others to keep up Considering the eneh path some distance away from the road As the path was quite steep, Meilan and the threeheavily Phin noticed that the party needed sonaled for them to stop

“I’ll need to check the bastards’ scouts first You four, standby here It would be better to ain after Haroon and I find ’em and eliminate ’em”

“Whew, good call, Phin”

The four seemed relieved that they could take some rest

“Well then! Let’s go, Haroon”

Haroon nodded They began to climb the mountain

Phin h Haroon was noallowed him to follow Phin without tooHaroon’s capability, he began to move in earnest, then he suddenly stopped and crouched Naturally, Haroon crouched as well and waited for Phin’s signal

Without a word, Phin raised his hand and pointed to the middle of the thick forest There was a path naturally for at one of them Haroon could see two people between the thick leaves They earing leather clothes to blend in He could also see two silver wolves walking further into the forest If they were not in a higher position than them, they would not have been able to spot them

While they were checking the ene a sound Roaed, Grade-C mercenary who is also a scout of the party

“How does it look?” Roam asked

“No boldfor us”

“So it was Wolf Bandits after all”

“Can confir on it”

The two gnashed their teeth

Wolf Bandits are the enemy of humanity Unlike the beasts and monsters who attack others for food, they si

“But they are too far It’s about 50 to 60 steps away from here,” Phin added

“How about luring theive it a shot?”

“Good call, but it’s too risky”

Phin opposed to Roaestion

“Then how aboutto where they can see us?”

Like Roa theht be able to take care of the enemy scouts

“Again, that’s too risky If they alert the others, this plan is over

The two thought for a while

At their front was the end of the cliff without any cover If theythemselves If they went around the cliff tothemselves, it would take toowas off They had a wolf by their ears&sup

1;

Haroon left the two, and cliet a clear vision of the scouts The two didn’t stop hi a better view Haroon took out a throwing knife, and summoned Brat on stand-by

– “Brat, you heard theht?”

– “You are botheringthe knife won’t be enough as it is too far I guess I would have to integrate with the knife, huh?

Brat was being cocky again, but for some reason, it seeht last time? Or is it just bored? Whichever, it was fortunate that it does want to fight

– “Yes And we are in quite a hurry, so let’s get straight to the point Kill the one in front of the tree, and stick the knife on the tree so the guy in the back won’t notice anything”

– “Okie”

Phin and Roa knife, but they never iliain soh position, but there are trees between him and the scouts After all, it wasn’t a distance that aknife could cover

‘Well, yes, I heard he protected ourknives Soer from 50 steps away, but, that’s siin said’

This hat they both thought when Haroon withdrew the knife They gave Haroon a doubtful look

“Summon,” Haroon murmured

[You are poisoned!]

Haroon could hear the UI sound as soon as he summoned Brat

“Integrate spirit,” he continued

Quietly, Haroon casted the spell and threw the knife hard

“W-WHAT?”

“NO!”

Phin and Roam panicked The knife didn’t care about thehts To avoid being spotted, it fleeen the trees, rocketed high up in the air, and dropped right onto the bandit

Since Brat would control the knife, Haroon didn’t need to calibrate or see the result of it Instead, Haroon took an antidote and opened his statusto see the change in his mana point

As he thought, the skill drained his mana As the skill requires 50 mana per second, 200 mana was already spent while he breathed for a few tih EFP, but he was so nervous about his re up Soon, he could hear the UI sound

[You have slain a Grade-C criminal You have acquired all of the opponent’s items]

Finally, one down But it was very surprising that he was able to acquire all of the bandits’ items Is it because the system thinks of this as a PK(Player Kill)? But there was no time to think of that Brat had already returned

“Got him But I saw another one down there,” said Brat

“We need to get that bastard too”

“Yaya”

“Integrate Spirit”

Haroon threw another knife, again with Brat integrated to it

Phin and Roa thing And they saw it killing the bandit that they could barely see They had just recovered from the shock when Haroon threw his second knife

“Did he get him? With the knives?”

“So… I-It was t-true”

They couldn’t hide their admiration

While that was happening, the skill took 200 more mana from Haroon, and it took another 50 until he could hear the UI sound

[You have slain a Grade-C criminal You have acquired all of the opponents items]

‘I love how this works’

These bandits must be considered as Boss monsters, or PvP Players The system won’t apply for NPCs, but to Haroon, a user, it was a very exciting fact

“Hehehe! How do you like that, Master? ‘Quite killing’, eh?? Kel-Kel-Kel-Kel, I’ood”

“Get lost!”

Haroon had nowording for ‘Compliood He felt dizzy and woozy, just like how it feels after focusing intensely

Before it was too late, Haroon drank a low quality mana potion, which restored all of hisrecovered from the disorientation, he talked to the tere still in a daze

“We’ve got the scouts Let’s get ”

“Y-Yes, we should, Haroon”

“I’ll give a signal to the party, and pick up the four”

Phin and Roam were still surprised, but moved with haste While Phin went to pick up the rest of the squad, Roam and Haroon went to one side of where the bandits aiting to ambush

Soon, Meilan and the other three arrived with Phin They were soaked with sweat Meilan heard froot rid of the scouts while they were , so she thanked Haroon first

“Thanks, Haroon I heard you took good care of their scouts Let’s take a rest for a moroup gets in position”

The mercenaries unsheathed their weapons Three of the her spell so she could use it whenever she wanted

Phin silently moved next to Haroon

“When Meilan creates the fog and silences us with herAs she won’t be able to cover entire forest, the bandits will inal plan was to leave you with the bowmen to attack the bandits when Roam and I draw them out Butthat your skill is beyond ours, so you move with us”

“Got it But wouldn’t the fog blind us as well?”

“Don’t worry about that Meilan will cast Light Eye upon us”

Now Haroon could see how the plan would go Then it was just awould it take for the bandits to react

Phin went back to see if the other group was prepared for the ambush Frorass Fro for the bandits that had been drawn out fro squad

While the group was getting in position, Haroon was stroking his throwing knives as a habit Lost in thoughts, he re the Quad wankers, back in the Mercenary Acade of how they suffered from the bad stomachache because of Brat’s polluted

‘Right, Brat’s Poison! Wouldn’t it kill them all instantly?’

Haroon breathed deeply It was quite a reasonableBrat’s elemental skills, rather than its poisonous materials so far Its poison can beco

Haroon stood up and went deeper into the forest to talk with Brat The others didn’t bother as they thought Haroon went to pee

“Summon Brat, at stand-by mode”

– “Hey, Brat!”

– “Oh, C’mon! What is it this time? I’ve already helped you once Don’t you think that is enough for the day? Shouldn’t skilless Master give soot some nerve”

– “Quit saying nonsense, would you? Or I guess you want another punch in your face, right?”

This spirit is really good at spoiling everything it scored previously

– “Eeks! Alright, Alright”

– “I have to say, you are really good at asking for a punch”

– “So what is it, Master? Make it quick I’ood dream”

Haroon asked Brat if its poison is strong enough to kill people, and hoide it can spread

– “Isn’t that obvious? So that no ht be able spread it wide enough to kill a few people, but the rest depends on your capability The more capable you are, the wider it would be Of course, it wouldn’t be that wide”

By capability, Brat enerated fro it would last

‘Dang, I thought it was a good idea, but h’

He thought for a while, but ca

Brat intruded his train of thought

– “Oh deary, deary me’

– “What?”

Its words strangely pissed hi like it was so pathetic to see him

– “Nah, I was thinking my master was so pathetic that he can’t think of me as a spirit – a God damn spirit who can use the God damned wind How pathetic”

That brightened up Haroon’s mind

‘Yes, that’s it! The ill spread the poison!,’ he thought, and said

– “I’ve been thinking of it What kind ofmy mana”

He was bitter to lie about it, and he knew quick-witted Brat would never be fooled by that, but his pride wouldn’t let Brat win the argument

– “Don’t you know that wind is a unique eleosh, why do I have to babysit you?”

– “That’s it! Ok, you won, you brat! Just go back to your place”

He lost track of his health when he got lost in his thoughts, but fortunately, it wasn’t too late Haroon realized his HP was too low to have any further arguments, so he quickly unsummoned Brat and took an antidote

Soon after, Phin came back to the first squad, and everyone stood up It was time to act Haroon joined them hastily They have a plan, they just have to execute it

“Alright, I’ll cast Fog fronal here,” said Meilan

Everyone nodded nervously on her order

“Uh, Meilan?”

She saw Haroon hesitated to say so

“What’s the matter, Haroon?”

“… I’ll protect you when you’re casting the spell Just in case”

“That’ll be very helpful, I appreciate it”

Magicians are very vulnerable when they are casting the spell with voice At that moment, even a small impact on them can break the spell, and in the worst case scenario, thethe caster

Meilan and Haroon went to a giant boulder that was 20 steps away from where they rested The boulder and its shade would hide them well from the bandits’ eyes

Meilan started casting the spell that she had memorized

Like a fairy tale, the fog started to cover the forest soon after Meilan gently closed her eyes, and focused on hermana from her mana circle located near her heart, which resonates with runes

The area of effect started getting larger and larger It was an easy task for a 4 circle ician Soon, two fifths of the forest was covered with the fog They could hear so from the forest The bandits must be confused by the situation

Haroon su his lips

“Brat, Now!”

“Aye Scattering Poison! Wind!”

On Haroon’s order, Brat scattered his poison and spread it using wind The effectiveness of it depends on how much it will be spread Haroon opened up his statusand fixed his eyes on his re HP, MP, and EFP If he spend too much of them now, the rest of the battle will be hard for him He still had some more work to do

“Stop!” Haroon shouted when his EFP was at 30

Brat ca

“Hehehe It ain’t much, but I spread it to where they are crowded, so it’ll be a good view, Master By the way, I saw the to drain Let me eat those, OK? It’ll help me a lot to recover my abilities, lost by you”

“Alright”

Haroon wasn’t quite sure what it meant, but he had to unsummon it before he reaches his limit He was tired as he had spent half of his mana and almost all of his elemental force He quickly took a mana potion and an antidote Soon, he was able to ain

“Well, Let’s go then,” said Meilan

She rushed Haroon as she was in good mood, because she was satisfied to see hoide it spread It had spread out ht it would She didn’t notice, but Haroon saw that so darkened by the poison

Back with the group, Meilan cast silence ic on Phin, Roam, and Haroon

“It won’t last more than 5 minutes, so you have to move hastily”

As soon as she spoke, they ran down to the forest They would have to make the most of their 5 minutes Meilan and three bowmen quietly moved to the pit they had made to hide

Suddenly, Phin cringed his face and signaled to stop, whispering,

“Poison! Stop, there is poison everywhere”

“What is it now?”

“Poison! I already got poisoned It’s a strong one!”

“You don’t ot poisoned too!”

Phin and Roa blue Haroon’s ar dark, and it was slowly changing its color

They hurried their way to the pit where Meilan and the others were hiding Fortunately, the bandits hadn’t noticed the

“What’s the matter, Phin?” Meilan asked

“Oh shi+t! It’s poison!” One of the mercenaries shouted

The mercenaries were surprised, and moved away from Phin

“It’s a very strong one It already got to my shoulder!”

Phin’s voice was very urgent, but Meilan’s face was turning white She didn’t have enough ic that detoxifies poison, wasn’t an option that even she, a circle 4 ician, could take when she used almost all of her mana

“Here, I’ve got some antidote”

Haroon quickly took out some antidotes and handed them to Phin and Roam, and took one himself Hector’s antidote was very effective, and their arms went back to normal

At thatwith each other

[You have slain a Grade-D criminal You have acquired all of the opponents items]

[You have slain a Grade-C criminal You have acquired all of the opponents items]

A near endless number of them drew his mind blank

‘S-Sick! I guess ht

Phin and Roam came to Haroon

“Haroon, thanks You saved my life!”

“That was really effective, Haroon!”

They hugged Haroon to thank hi poison

Meilan’s face was co back to normal as well

“What’s going on, though?” said Meilan

Phin shook his head, confused, and said,

“I have no idea, Meilan I am pretty sure there was no poison there before……”

“Despite what happened, this could go in favor of us But as we don’t knoide the poison has spread, or if it is roup and retreat with them”

Phin ran back to where the other group was hiding in a hurry If the wind carried the poison to the group in the back, it could wipe out the entire group The rest of the squad followed him

Soon, they were able to join the rass field Fortunately, the as blowing to the forest Meilan reported the situation, and prepared to attack with them

“Poison! We are getting poisoned!”

“Get out of the forest! Quick!”

After a while, some noises and screams came from the forest, and the forest spit out about 50 bandits andto where the

The bandits were in panic because of the poison They carelessly ran away froly, there were more wolves that survived from the disaster

“NOW!”

With Tain’s boo weapons

“Argh!”

“Guh! Mo-ther……”

As the bandits and wolves were running directly to where theweapons thrown at the weapons to have ot killed by the mercenaries’ first attack

“Again, NOW!”

Another wave of throeapons were thrown At this time, Phin, Roam and the boere ready with their bows; Meilan and her niece were ready with their fireballs

“Gugh!”

At least they should be happy that they were killed instantly Those who survived froers stuck in their bodies, had to take another shot

‘Dang, more bandits could have been killed if it weren’t for the wolves,’ thought Haroon

There were more wolf corpses than bandit corpses Still, the nu the mercenaries

“CHARGE!”

With Tain’s order, theat the bandits

Es act differently from how they think When the bandits were in ambush, they knew that they could easily outnuan, and they saw their front line de weapons, and could see theat theht

Finally, the bandits andtheir weapons at their ene sparks; Axes and iron clubskilled The faces of thered, and their muscles seemed like they would burst at any second They looked for each others openings, and the eyes for that were burning with their hard pu spirit

The battle was going in the Mercenaries’ favor The bandits were tired since they just ran about 100 steps fro for them with their weapons and ained in was looking for another opponent after slaying two of the with Turan

“Tonight! We will be drinking their blood and eating their flesh!+” Someone shouted

A wolf, the size of a horse, had appeared fro on it, and it seemed he was the one who shouted The shout was so loud that the atmosphere vibrated for a while

The mercenaries’ as dampened for a while The Bandits’ shout had a similar effect to that of a beasts’ or a boss monsters’ roar, which can cause fear on humans with a ill

“You bastard!” Tain Shouted

His shout also contained some mana, and it helped the other ed at the Boss bandit Jagin and his squad followed him

A sas dropping on Haroon’s face, trying to cut it in half

“Not today!”
