John then conveyed his thoughts to Alex, in turn Alex wanted to save Iza's family even more than John himself.
— John, it is our duty as future warriors to save the oppressed and those who do not
can be a defender. In his youth, Mr. Fernando committed considerable acts of bravery and heroism. If we successfully save Iza's family, a bright future will await us later, but if we ignore this, we will not be able to live in peace.
John looked at Alex who had a sparkle in his eyes, this guy must have seen too many cartoons of heroes and knights, how would a normal person risk his life for virtue and other nonsense? Doesn't he know that greed is a precious asset that can't be dismissed? Well, so be it, if we succeed I'll have the management of this lolita and I'll be able to brag in front of my parents later. John thought up to this point he's not anymore.
— We need weapons, is there anything around here we can use?
John said, Iza shook her head, then they looked for something to use as a weapon, after searching a little they found two stakes that delimited the land in the favelas, the stakes had the diameter of a base taco, but their weight was greater, weighing about 10 kilos.
The two of them each took a stake, then they swung it a few times to get used to the weight, when they were used to it John presented his plan.
— Since they are waiting for Iza to get home to capture her, we are going to make a little noise, they sent someone to arrive, at that time Alex and I are going to hide and we will use Iza as bait, when whoever comes out tries to capture you we will hit them with the stakes in the head.
—What if they all go out to check? They asked.
— They already have two captured in there, they won't take risks and will be ambushed, at most they sent two out here.
— Okay, everyone in their places.
John reassured Iza a little.
— Iza, don't worry since they are waiting for you, at most they will capture you and we won't let that happen, you can trust us.
Little Isa nodded, a resolute look flashed across her blue eyes. After that John and Alex hid behind some old buildings. Little Isa picked up a fist-sized rock and threw it at the hut. After a while nothing happened, she then threw two rocks in succession.
At the same time inside the wooden cabin.
The men were each in their place waiting for the girl to arrive, but then a noise sounded outside.
.
— What was that? The boss said.
One of them woke up on the bench by the door but saw nothing outside.
— There's no one there, boss. The other man replied.
After a moment, two sons originated from the same source sounded again. The boss looked at one of his subordinates and said coldly.
— Go see what it is, if it's the same capture and bring it here.
The man walked out of the cabin and the door closed behind him. He scanned the surroundings with his eyes while tightly gripping his old sword. He was very cautious. Suddenly, he saw the silhouette of a little girl. He was overjoyed and ran towards her. As he got closer, the silhouette became so big that he could clearly see the wolf girl.
In his mind he was very happy it would be a great merit to capture the guarantee, but when the man reached the four meter line he wondered why the girl didn't run away, he didn't care much about that, when he approached the two meter mark a wind blew on the back of his neck, before he even turned around he felt a sledgehammer hitting the back of his neck with a force greater than his own, it felt like a mountain was thrown on the back of his neck.
**—
After little Isa threw two stones in a row, the door opened and a man with a drawn sword came out, the man seemed very cautious, John signaled for little Iza to show herself, she came out of her hiding place and the man saw her and without editing the man ran towards her, Iza was scared but she remained calm.
6 meters
5 meters
3 meters
When the man reached the 2 meter mark John used all his speed and got behind the man, he had nothing, he used all his strength, his arm muscles inflated and with one swing the stake hit the man right in the back of the neck.
Beng .
A sound of metal colliding rang out and the man fell to the ground, the three approached the man on the ground, John used his stake to poke the man who was writhing, little Iza asked in fright.
— Did you kill him?
John examined the body and saw the symptoms, the man was foaming at the mouth and Tavares had bloodshot eyes then a word that Iza and Alex had never heard came out of John's mouth with a sigh.
— Stroke.
He realized that both of them most likely didn't know this word he spoke again.
— He's dead, I think you used too much force with this blow.
John was calm as if nothing had happened, after all it wasn't the first time he had killed someone. In Asia on Earth, although he worked in intelligence, he still had mandatory field missions and sometimes these missions required him to kill someone to protect his life as well as that of his companions. Asia would offer psychological counseling before any mission, so he was calm, the only difference is that he never killed using a bladed weapon. Alex was a little disturbed but he composed himself when he saw John's calmness, little Isa on the other hand was even more scared and her heart was beating fast, but John managed to calm her down.
John's concern was that the guy who was going to provide information was now dead, she now had to think of another plan.
Omniverse Back to the abysmal throne.
Chapter 12-Life or Death? The Mysterious Baby Inside the Egg Appears Again
Now that the bandit was dead, John's plan to get information went down the drain , now they had to be quick in making a decision, the bandits inside the cabin must have surely noticed that something must be wrong outside.
John had something in mind, first escape as quickly as possible and call someone in the castle to deal with the situation, second enter the cabin launch a surprise attack and rescue the prisoners. In the first case it would not be possible, this is because since one of them is dead as soon as discovered they would not wait but, the Bandits would leave immediately, in the second case it would be very dangerous but they would have a chance .
***
Inside the cabin.
A while passed and the bandit that was sent still hadn't returned, the boss's brow was furrowed, he could feel something strange in the air.
— You three , go take a look.
The three bandits obeyed and left the hut, one was holding a sword and the other two each had a spear. The chief gathered the two prisoners, preparing to leave at any moment, if something unexpected happened he would abandon his bandits and leave with the two women, after all for the chief honor was for idiots.
***
John made his decision, they face the bandits together, even if the two of them couldn't win, they would still be able to escape relying on their speed, Alex agreed to face them, but when John mentioned running away, he made a bad face, but in the end he still agreed, Alex didn't fear for his life, but the life of his young lord must be preserved no matter what .
John looked around, he knew that going into a fight where the opponents' strength was unknown, it was best to be able to count on the terrain at his disposal, this would be an advantage both in the fight and when fleeing. It only took him a moment to familiarize himself with the terrain, he saw some old barrels filled with water that were everywhere, he could also see a bald tree, he could use his speed and agility to move between the barrels, the tree and also use the alley of the other cabin to restrict his opponent's movement.
John asked Isa to hide in an empty barrel.
— Iza, you stay here and don't leave for anything. Unless I call you, you must not leave. They still don't know where you are, the only one who knew is dead.
Iza nodded, stepped into the barrel and said.
— John, Alex , be careful.
— Don't worry, we'll be careful. John spoke, and almost at the same time Alex spoke too.
— You don't need to worry.
The two hid behind the tree, Alex remained with the stake, John took for himself the old sword of the bandit who was lying dead, they left the bandit's corpse to be discovered at first sight.
John saw the cabin door open and three bandits came out of it, he tightly held the sword in his hand, his heart was beating faster and faster, he forced himself to calm down by taking a deep breath, he looked at Alex and saw the anxiety in his eyes, but there was no fear in them.
John fixed his eyes on the three bandits, they didn't look impressive at all, they just seemed a little stronger than the bandit he killed, the bandits saw the body of their companion lying on the ground, they approached, the bandit holding the sword bent down and felt his companion's pulse and came to the conclusion that he was dead, John heard him saying.
— He's dead, Chip will inform Chief Cancer and I will try to find who did this. If..
The bandit had his back turned to the tree, before the bandit finished his words, Alex with his stake firmly held jumped towards the bandit who was holding the sword, the bandit was crouched, Alex aimed at the bandit's head, he wanted to knock him down with just one blow, just like John did with the previous bandit. Alex didn't hold back anything, he used all his strength in this blow, the bandit felt a cold wind coming from behind, without thinking he raised his sword.
Beng .
The sound of metal clashing rang out. Alex hit the bandit's sword with the stake. Because he received the blow in a half- raised position, the bandit lost his balance and fell backwards, almost dropping his sword. The bandit's hand was numb, the stake was heavy. Alex saw his opportunity and was about to attack again, but the two bandits charged at him with their spears.
Alex blocked a spear with his stake and when the other spear was about to hit him he dodged it and jumped back away from the two, but they didn't want to give Alex room to breathe, they chased and shot again.
The bandit with the sword who was knocked down by Alex got up and tried to join his companions, when again he felt something behind him, he turned quickly and saw a sword coming towards his head, he jumped back. The downward blow with the sword that aimed at the bandit's head only slightly injured his left arm, a light and superficial cut on his shoulder.
— Who the hell are you?
The bandit asked, he couldn't understand why two children were aiming for his head, he had almost been killed twice today, the bandit was angry but, he was also cautious, he had felt the strength of the two children from the previous exchange, no matter the stake or the sword, both of them had strength compared to him, how is this possible? They are just children, how can they be so strong?
John saw that his surprise attack didn't work as it should, he felt discouraged, he tried again, using all his strength John launched two blows aimed at the neck and chest, but both were easily blocked, the bandit was more experienced using the sword compared to John, he saw the bandit smiling coldly.
— Hahaha hahaha , you children will meet your deaths. You must be the children of some nobles preparing for your first evolution, very well since you only have strength and no experience, it will be fitting for you to die in my hands today.
John felt a chill at the bandit's sinister laughter. A v-shaped sword flew towards John, he didn't try to block it, he just dodged to the left and the sword hit a barrel full of water, the bandit's sword got stuck, John saw his chance to take his opponent's life. John struck with the sword towards the bandit's head who struggled to remove his stuck sword, when the sword was about to hit the bandit's neck.
Beng
Jon 's sword hit another sword, he stepped back after the blow and saw another burly bandit, it wasn't any of the three.
— How come you can't deal with mere children.
The bandit chief spoke to his men.
— Boss, these kids are strong.
The bandits who were fighting Alex ran back to stand side by side with their comrades. Alex also stood next to John. The head bandit asked again, but this time to Alex and John.
— Who are you children?
John replied with a smile on his face, although it was four against two he was not worried, after the previous exchanges he could estimate the strength of the opponents.
— Who we are doesn't matter.
John pointed to the wooden cabin.
— I want them. If you give them to us I considered letting you live.
John was still scared, but he felt his adrenaline rising with tension, he was confident that he could take care of the four of them with Alex's help.
— Hahaha , hahahahahahahaha .
— Hahahahahahahaha
— Hahahahahahahaha
Four bursts of laughter sounded at the same time. The bandit leader spoke with a distorted smile on his face.
— You are good seeds, how about you become my servants and who knows, in the future you will be powerful mercenaries under my flag.
John found it a total joke, that he, the son of a lord, had become the servant of a mere mercenary, he pointed his sword and spoke coldly.
—Leave or die, you will not lead the wolf family while I am here. You are not qualified to become my servants, as I could be yours.
- Foolish, arrogant children. I only spoke to you to see if there was anyone else hiding, since there isn't, but no one is going to finish you off and get you out of here any time soon. I don't think I caught the little girl either, but they were satisfied with both of them.
John's heart sank, there was still someone hiding behind the scenes, his smile and confidence disappeared, with a look full of fear apparent on his face, he asked.
— Who are they? Who will be satisfied?
The boss's laughter became even more sinister and a murderous intent filled the air, he must have killed countless people to have such murderous intent. The boss spoke
— Scared now? Arrogant child, since you're going to die anyway, it doesn't matter, I'll tell you everything.
The boss laughed but a bit like a typical villain and spilled the beans.
— We are the right servants of the mercenaries, thick vein. They have two gold mercenaries.
Alex who had been silent the whole time until now finally spoke with a serious look.
— The thick-veined mercenaries were expelled from Novo Redondo. What are they doing here? And what do they want with this werewolf family?
The boss spoke as if he were talking to a corpse.
— Yes, this sector, but they have sent three representatives to deal with these wolves. The wolf family will be sent to the headquarters in Evans territory.
The boss continued his laughter. John looked at Alex and asked softly.
— What's with the thick-veined mercenaries?
Alex replied quietly.
— I'll explain later that we have to get rid of them as soon as possible. If we wait any longer, they'll send a primal being and it will be the end of us .
certainty .
John nodded, he then shouted.
— ISA , run, go help your family, we will take care of them.
Isa, who had been hiding in a barrel the whole time, heard John's words and got out of the barrel and started running towards the cabin. The bandit chief was startled, but when he saw that it was only the girl he had been waiting for, joy welled up in his heart. He quickly tried to run after the girl, but John stopped him by positioning himself in front of him.
— Where do you think you're going? Your opponent is me. John spoke.
- Child , I'm curious, what gives you so much confidence? If even before I joined the battle you couldn't beat my men. Now with me do you think you'd have any chance ?
John and Alex looked at each other and burst out laughing.
— You idiot, do you really think your gang of bandits are equals to us?
The boss and his thugs got into a fight, they clearly had the upper hand, they thought it was a trick, that's right he's bluffing, the boss thought. John continued speaking showing his disdain.
— At first I was worried that you, the boss, wouldn't come out, but now that you're here outside we can fight without worrying about hostages.
John acted like the villain and revealed his entire plan. He was worried about two things in particular. First, if the bandits were much stronger than the two of them, then they would use their speed to escape, so they hid Isa in the barrel, so she would be safe until they returned with reinforcements. Second, if they were similar in strength to the bandits, they had to put themselves in a disadvantageous position in order to lure out the person responsible.
John knew from the beginning that the boss would stay inside the cabin, in his past life he had seen countless bandit bosses use their subordinates to test the waters, if the opponent was weak the boss would appear and take care of the intruders personally, but if the intruder was strong the boss would use his subordinates to buy time so he could escape.
That was why John and Alex used all their strength but did not use their speed and agility, between them and the Bandits they practically had the same level, but because of the difference in race, the iron tails had the senses and innate strength above humans, this was apparent before evolution.
Alex and John had the upper hand, but they stalled until the boss showed up so Isa could go free her family while they defeated the bandits. John was scared and would run away if he wasn't able to handle the bandits, but since he was able to handle these scum he didn't hesitate to attack.
Although this takes a few lines to describe, in reality all of this only took a few moments. ISA had by this time reached the door and successfully entered the cabin. John looked at Alex beside him and spoke.
— Let's finish them off
.
Alex smiled and said.
— Let's go.
So the two of them launched a joint attack.
John stayed with the chief and the bandit holding the sword, Alex stayed with the two bandits with spears, the fight resumed again. Now both Alex and John both used everything at their disposal, speed, strength and agility all their strengths were on display. John used his speed to dodge the swords and launched his counterattacks, Alex used his speed to dodge his opponents' attacks, he stayed behind the barrels to shorten the range of the spears so he could approach safely and counterattack.
John parried a sword blow from his opponent and stepped away.
- Where do you think you're going? The boss growled angrily.
After moving away for a while, John closed his eyes and vaguely remembered the mandatory body training from his past life. In Asia, their agents had their own martial arts for defense. Even though he was an agent in intelligence, John was still required to learn it to the basic level.
John opened his eyes just as two swords headed, one towards his neck and the other towards his abdomen.
Woxim
Woxim
With precise yet simple movements John dodged the two swords, the two bandits were stunned, until a moment ago John had not used any technique, he had only relied on his speed to escape the attacks, but now he dodged with such ease that they could not understand. The two attacked a few more times but the result was the same.
In Asia, the art of compound movement was mandatory for all agents and John was no exception. In his view, the bandits' movements were slow, he just needed to move at the right time to be able to dodge their attacks. The trick was in the moment of reaction, which is why he easily dodged the swords that aimed at his life.
The chief, furious at not being able to land a blow, threw his head back and disregarding his defense, attacked with the sword towards John's heart. The sword was going towards the heart, but John did not move, he waited until there were only a few centimeters left to pierce his skin, then he moved his body slightly to the right, the sword pierced the clothes, but there was no scratch on his skin.
crescent- shaped blow . Jon 's sword made a deep cut from his left shoulder, passed through his chest and only stopped when the sword reached his abdomen. When the other bandit tried to stop John's attack, it was too late. The other bandit's sword almost hit him, but John used his size to his advantage to dodge the attack.
Now John is fighting two wounded men, his advantage has grown even more after the two's movements have become less fluid as time passes. John lures the two to the tree, that's where he hid his stake, he runs up to the stake and grabs it with his left hand, he then throws it with all his strength, the bandit leader is behind him and he is not the target of the stake, the target is the other opponent who is slightly wounded in the shoulder.
The bandit saw the stake coming, he used his sword to defend himself, he was going to dodge but as it was coming very fast he preferred to use the sword to block the attack, big mistake John thought, he used all his speed at the exact moment the bandit defended himself from the stake a sword passed through his neck.
Swim
John was so fast that he cut in and stopped behind the bandit.
The bandit turned to look straight at John's back before taking any steps, he grabbed his neck and as if someone had opened a faucet, coagulated blood leaked from the wound, he knelt down and dropped his sword, he tried to cover the wound with both hands, a look of disbelief was on his face
eyes .
Bake
The bandit fell to the ground dead. The chief saw this and tried to run away with all his might, he tried to run, he knew he was no match for the child in front of him. John saw the bandit running, but he did not chase him, he bent down and picked up the sword of his dead opponent and threw it with all his strength, the sword flew and pierced the chief's neck.
Croft
The sword entered from the back and got stuck in the neck, the bandit fell to the ground dead.
Yes, the mournful sigh came from John, relief and remorse.
John was feeling remorse for himself, he had just killed people, he was psychologically depressed, he knew it was kill or be killed, but even so, he was feeling bad, he didn't know why he was feeling this way, he had killed before in his past life. He came to the conclusion that it was because of the blood that was gushing from the bodies, in his past life he just pointed and pulled the trigger.
Lex also handled her opponents well, when John saw Alex's opponents dead on the ground he sighed and tried to compose himself, but when he saw Alex John transmitted, this was because Alex was vomiting his face was pale and tears were streaming down his face, John laughed but it didn't bother him for Alex it was his first time.
This world is cruel, here children learn to kill before they even lose their virginity, John felt sorry for him and Alex, although he lost his virginity in his past life this body is still virgin.
After a while Alex calmed down, they wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. Even before going to see Iza and her family.
Pa pa shovel shovel
Pa pa shovel shovel shovel shovel shovel
Applause echoed, John and Alexam looked around but they couldn't identify where the applause was coming from. Suddenly, beyond the applause, footsteps sounded.
A bandit appeared in front of the two Alex and John, the bandit stopped applauding, looked coldly and asked.
— Did you kill my servants?
With just these words, both Alex and John felt a chill, their hearts started beating faster, sweat dripped down their faces, they trembled with fear, it wasn't cowardice, it was instinctive, it was due to their life status.
The bandit in front of them is an evolved being, a level 2 primary being. John and Alex are normal in front of someone like that, they feel like ants in front of an elephant.
***
Not sea of the soul.
In John's soul a calm sea expanded everywhere, a clear sea with waters reflecting the blue sky, there was no sense of direction in this sea, the blue sky was even stranger, there was no sun but it was as if there was. Above the waters a giant egg was floating, looking inside could be seen a baby with closed eyes.
As John's emotions turned into pure instinctive fear, the eyes of the baby inside the egg opened, strangely the baby could see all the surroundings of John's body, but unlike everyone else who could see the colorful world, the baby could only see three colors white, black and gray.
