Chapter 129: 129

As I walked through the forest, I thought about the 4 exercises from my dream . 'They seemed easy at first but when I actually tried them out, those things were not only difficult but also dangerous' I thought . Although I could die as many times as I wanted in that dream, there was a price to pay for that as well .

I was lost in my thoughts as I walked . After a while, I arrived at the camp and placed my bag down . I then heard a familiar voice speaking to me from behind . "We meet again, friend" . When I turned around, I noticed it was the group of people that I encountered a while back .

I said "Is there anything you need?" and the guy smiled while saying "Your information was really useful to us this time . It's a shame you lied to us" . I looked at the guy who spoke and said "I didn't lie, if you found those creatures, then that means I told the truth" . The guy just laughed and said "I'm not talking about the creatures, I'm talking about the man we were searching for" . He then continued "We found him and he also told us everything . He didn't even budge when we asked him about you . He told us what you guys did and even went to extend to tell us about your skills" .

I wasn't impressed . The guy I met that day was a coward . I covered for his a.s.s to give him some time to escape, I wasn't expecting loyalty from him . I said slowly to the guy "And? I did try to cover for his sorry a.s.s . Does that change anything? You are a pile of bones walking around, if you want to die so badly… make your move" .

The guy obviously didn't expect that as he seemed a bit shocked . I added "I'm just curious . How did you manage to track me? You should have a special method to do so, I a.s.sume" . I didn't hear an answer but I heard some movements from behind me . I said to him "Even if you try to surround me, you will all die" . The guy in front of me was now visibly shocked . He asked "Who are you?"

I smirked and said "Someone you should not mess with . I don't know stuff like mercy . When half of you die and you would like to surrender, I will still kill you" . Before the guy could say anything else I asked "Should I show you?" . I didn't wait for an answer as my hand flashed . The guy behind me that was trying to sneak attack, got two new holes in his body . I said "This is an example of what I can do and now? All of you die" as the lifeless corpse fell down behind me .

Before the guy could say anything else I asked "Should I show you?" . I didn't wait for an answer as my hand flashed . The guy behind me that was trying to sneak attack, got two new holes in his body . I said "This is an example of what I can do and now? All of you die" as the lifeless corpse fell down behind me .

The guy in front of me was not only shocked, there was fear in his eyes . I didn't have many daggers left therefore I opted to use close combat as the means to kill . I sprinted forwards to attack the leader standing in front of me . He didn't expect my acceleration and because he was quite close to me, I caught up to him in an instant . I pa.s.sed right next to him and stopped . He tried to rotate his head backwards but his neck was already cut .

I said to him "I told you, you will all die" . I then sprinted towards my next target . In overall there were 5 people there . Two already died and other 3 were nearby, also trying to ambush me . Of course due to the situation, things changed a bit . One of them was not stupid enough to just sit there staring, he begun to run . I caught up to him and slashed his back . The strength I possesed was not something to be toyed with . That slash alone almost separated the guy in half . 'If I used a sword instead of a dagger, there would be two halves laying on the ground instead of intact corpse' I thought and speed towards my other targets .

They finally woke up from their shock and started to run . It was still useless . My speed was much better than theirs and it didn't matter what skills they had . My strength alone allowed me to dispose of them very easily . When I arrived in front of a woman this time, she pleaded me to spare her life but as I already said "No one will survive" and killed her . The last guy was actually quite crafty and hid himself . Good thinking but he forgot that I also knew the Art of Stealth . If someone wanted to hide in front of me, they would have to be at a similar level that Nick was .

Good thinking but he forgot that I also knew the Art of Stealth . If someone wanted to hide in front of me, they would have to be at a similar level that Nick was .

I found him and killed him as well . All was done . The middle aged man I met while traveling north died because he was a coward . These people died because they thought being a part of some large organisation means they are invincible . 'I avoided conflict whenever possible, yet these people still looked for their doom . I wonder why? Maybe that is why Nick forbade me to go into cities and villages?' I thought .

I searched for my daggers that I threw at the guy trying to ambush me and then looted the corpses . They had loads of stuff on them . Each had at least one bag that functioned the same way as mine did . 'No wonder they gave me one, They had loads of them' . The leader guy had 3 of them alone . I didn't find anything concerning the Flaming Silver Wolf or the Flaming Grey Bear . 'They must've lied about finding those beasts, they wouldn't be alive if they did try to fight them . Even I would have difficulties fighting one of them' I thought .

They did indeed find the man that carried a large sword, they did kill him as well . To prove it, they had his head in the bag as well as his sword . I took out the sword, it was quite heavy but with my current strength, it was nothing major . I swingged it couple of times 'It's nothing amazing, it does weight a bit . They must've been as strong as him in order to kill him but I'm much stronger than I was in the past' I thought and placed the sword down while taking a look at other things .

There were no books or manuals of any sort . I was a bit disappointed, I wanted to find out how were they able to track me but it didn't matter, they died anyway . I also found something familiar . 'So they also have those emblems of some sort . I wonder what type of thing this represents . All of them had the same emblem, except the leader guy' I thought . The emblems depicted an eye half closed on a grey background . It was probably the sign of the group that was chasing the guy with the heavy sword .

The leader's badge was a bit different . Besides showing the eye, it also showed a tear drop coming from the eye . The badge was still grey . This probably meant he was a member with better position compared to the others . I took the leaders badge and threw the rest of them into a bag that I emptied . 'I don't want to carry all that clutter with me for no apparent reason . I will use one of those bags to store all those useless objects and throw it away somewhere' I thought .

I started sorting through all the things that seemed useless and threw them into the bag, one after the other .
