63: Overpowered

Overpowered

As Rean's Team advanced, the deeper they got into the Forest. At first, the bandits found it weird that those guys were bringing the kids to such a place. But in the end, that wasn't their problem. If anything, it should be easier to deal with the two adults by making the kids hostage.2

Roan then sent a Spiritual Sense message to everyone, including Malaka.

"They are still following us. Inna, they will probably target us because they think we are weak. Don't forget, you should not hold back. They want to rob your Staff, so give them a good beating."

Inna showed an angry expression. She had just got that Staff from Rean a few days ago, so how could she let someone steal it from here?

Rean, Diakar, and Opril also had their guards high. Still, they pretended to not know anything and kept walking forward.

Suddenly, they found a Stage One Demon Beast. Seeing their group, it didn't waste time and immediately attacked.

Roan faintly smiled, though.

'It's here.'

Diakar went forward to block the beast while Opril stayed with Rean and the others. Roan was very clear about his plan. Once they found a demon beast, Diakar would step forward to deal with it. Seeing the protection around the kids getting smaller, the bandits would probably take this chance.

Sure enough, as soon as Diakar started to fight the demon beast in front, the bandits rushed out of their hiding places and attacked Rean and his Group.

"Rean, there are six of them. Three of them are going to Opril while there is one for me, you, and Malaka. Let's get rid of the two in front of us straight away."

Rean nodded.

Malaka took her Staff out of the clothes and got ready too. The bandits' fatal mistake was to think that the kids weren't anything to be concerned about. They were utterly looking down on them.

Rean and Roan raised their Sword at the same time. Spiritual Energy started to gather on them, and Light Element was drawn from the surroundings. The two also exchanged Dark and Light Element through the connection, and their hairs once again changed color. The two bandits moving against Rean and Roan were taken aback. It was evident that those two were in the Energy Gathering Realm, just like them.

However, because the two were still kids, they didn't back up. The only difference is that they changed their plan. At first, they intended to capture Rean and Roan, but with the strength that they were showing, such a thing would be too risky. That being said, they also attacked to kill.

The twins smiled. Just as the two reached each other, they struck.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Dark and Light Element came slashing down—a total of three swords against each of the bandits. The enemies couldn't tell which was real or fake. They tried to defend, but their own weapons could only block one of the Swords. Rean's opponent was lucky and tried to block the real one. However, it was meaningless. A slash came from the flank and another aimed at his head. As for the Real Sword that was about to be blocked... it passed slashed through the bandit's weapon as if it was made of paper!

In a moment, Rean's opponent's head was pierced through, his waist was almost slashed in half, and the Real Sword cut through the opponent's heart.

Roan's opponent became an even more gruesome view. The guy was literally cut in three parts together with his weapon. Roan didn't show any mercy at all! Rean and Roan's opponents died as fast as they arrived. It couldn't be helped, though. They were just in the Initial Stage of the energy Gathering Realm. Even without the Spiritual Swords, the results would still be the same.

Boom! Shatter!

Beside Rean and Roan, Malaka just destroyed her enemy's weapon. Taking that chance and the enemy's surprise, she hit his head. The guy was sent flying and crashed against a tree. He immediately lost consciousness, it was hard to tell if he was dead or alive. If Malaka hadn't held herself back, his head would have burst apart instead.

Roan, of course, got angry after seeing it. He told her to not hold back, so he will definitely scold her after this is over.

The other three bandits had barely started to suppress Opril when they noticed that half of their team was already out. They couldn't help but feel frightened by that vision. It was evident that they had hit a Steel Wall. They immediately stopped their assault on Opril and began to run.

"Retreat!"

Roan snorted when he saw that.

"Since you already came, why don't we play a little more?"

Using Rean's Light Element on his legs, Roan shot forward like a cannonball. He was simply much faster than the bandits. Even their leader, a guy at the peak of the Energy Gathering Realm, palled in comparison.

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

Using his speed, Roan thrust his Sword forward three times. Spiritual Energy with Dark and Light Elements shot forward as if they were arrows. Two of them pierced right through the two weaker bandits' hearts, killing them on the spot. Only the leader managed to barely turn his body and parry the Sword Energy, making it hit his left shoulder instead.

The pressure of the Stellar Piercer made him stumble. He fell on the ground and rolled for quite a few meters too. Just as he was about to get up, a sword appeared on his throat. Cold sweat appeared on his head, and he didn't dare to move. Right in front of him, Roan showed a disdainful smile. It was evident that his group didn't have a chance against them from the very start.

Rean, Opril, Malaka, and Diakar quickly arrived as well, completely surrounding this guy.

Diakar already got rid of the Demon Beast. It was only a Stage one. Not to mention that he now had a Spiritual Sword, so it was an easy job.

"Now, then, how should we deal with you?"
