Chapter 235: Battle With The Bandits
"So this is an island filled with bandit tribes and you think you have caught us?" asked Lex with a smile.
He was a Golden Mortal and seemed to have come from further out in the Lower Plains, meaning for him to be able to be that powerful and cross the sea, he must have a lot of treasures and resources with him.
Along with that, he had two beauties travelling with him, multiple units of obedient and intelligent fox beasts and wore elegant, white robes that gave off a profound aura.
"Yes, that I exactly what I am saying. You poor weaklings were unlikely to stumble upon this island first and it is mostly covered in forest and within that forest are multiple small and large bandit tribes. Even if you do manage to get away from us, it is impossible to escape death or our Boss, and getting away from us is also impossible" answered the leader of the bandit group.
"That means you have no choice but to surrender and if you do, maybe we might let you be our servant" he continued as all the bandits that surrounded them began to laugh, while Lex smiled and was still calm, but was starting to get annoyed by their arrogant behaviour and threats.
[I won't even need to use any of my trump cards. This bunch of waste will pay for daring to underestimate me and intend to jess with me and my companions]
He could see lust, greed and all their horrible intentions through their eyes and was disgusted by them.
"I will handle the leader and half of the bandits, I will leave the other half to you two. Let's see who can finish their side first" said Lex, loud enough for all the bandits to hear.
Angela and Ella nodded their heads in understanding and were ready to battle, while all the bandits armed themselves and were shocked to hear that they were planning to fight despite being greatly outnumbered and surrounded.
"If you don't want to surrender, then we will use force. The boss has told us to capture you all, but has allowed us to injure you and kill you if you resist, so we will eliminate you and then take your two girls for....." said the leader of the bandit group, but he was unable to finish his words before Lex appeared before him and punched his face with all his might.
Lex hated it when others would speak so crudely about Angela and Ella and didn't hold back his strength, completely crushing the man's face and launching him flying dozens of metres away and smashing through multiple trees.
"It is not us that should have surrendered, it should have been you. But now you have angered me, and none of you will leave to get away from me" declared Lex.
With a flick of his wrist, Lex flung multiple throwing knives at once and each of them pierced the forehead of one of the bandits who were all dazed in shock after witnessing their leader be taken down with such ease.
Lex then went on to using the weapons around him from all the bandits he killed, using the Telekinetic Control Eye to bring them over to him, before slaughtering every single one of the bandits in the blink of an eye.
With the Telekinetic Control Eye, he controlled every item around him and used them to slash or hit the bandits, while he would use his Spacial Eye to teleport around and take down any of the bandits that were attempting to escape.
It was as if he was a unstoppable killing machine and within a minute all of the bandits had been taken down and Angela and Ella didn't even need to lift a finger.
"It seems I forgot to hold back," said Lex with a wry smile as he appeared beside Ella and Angela.
He was covered in blood, but an instant later, the blood all disappeared and it happened so quickly that they could barely see how he had been able to do so.
Lex drenched himself in water that he was easily able to produce using his energy, and after it washed off all his blood, released some heat off his body and evaporated all the water.
His energy wielding speed and control were incredible to witness and he had done that so quickly that there was barely any trace of it occurring apart from the smoke that the evaporated water caused.
"Lex, did you let the leader of this bandit group leave on purpose?" asked Angela.
"Of course I did, how else were we going to quickly find their leader and tribe" answered Lex before following after the bandit leader.
Despite his face being crushed and suffering from grave internal injures, the bandit leader still managed to get up and ran for his life back towards the tribe, knowing that he had no chance against Lex after experiencing his power.
Lex, Ella and Angela followed after the bandit, curious to see what the tribe and its boss was like, meanwhile, the fox beast units had all fought defensively and wisely against the group of bandits that they were faced against.
They split up so that they couldn't all be hit by wide range attacks and the advantages they had was their numbers, speed, agility and the fact that they were able to understand the bandits and what they were saying,
The bandits were openly speaking to each other and planning their next moves, believing that the mere fox beasts were unable to understand what they were saying.
Little did they know that the fox beasts were more capable than they could ever imagine and were not only able to understand what they were saying, but were also holding back their power.
They did so to make sure that their attacks and defence were organised and to make it so that there weren't any casualties, which went exactly as they had planned and all the fox beasts units had been able to take down the bandit groups that attempted to capture them.
