Chapter 146: Slaughter
-----
Out of nowhere, a large ice blade pierced the stomach of one of the bandits trying to take the innocent explorer mother away.
He immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, as he fell to his knees and glanced at the blade.
It came out of nowhere.
The other bandits glanced at the man as he tried to take away the blade out of his stomach.
However…
SLASH!
"EH?!"
Another blade pierced the ice giant's head, slicing it open as brain matter began to splatter outside of the horrendous wound, the ice giant was killed.
Even the slaves were terrified, as everyone slowly glanced at the source of these blades…
An enormous monster, coated in black and azure scales, alongside large crystals, the size of around three meters emerged, slowly walking towards them…
Its head was enormous and covered by what looked like a skull of its same species, but it was actually part of the scales that covered its body.
"W-What is that?!"
"R-Run!"
"A giant lizard with wings?!"
"You, slaves, buy us some time!"
The bandit leader was a quick thinker, as he ordered the slaves to run towards the furious beast charging at them and sacrifice their lives so they could buy them some time!
However, the monster wasn't a mindless creature.
It quickly jumped away from the slaves charging at him as he reached the camp, clashing over a large tent and crushing the two bandits inside!
CLAAASH!
"GGRYAARR…!"
The two bandits inside were quickly turned into minced meat, as several other figures rushed out of the forests around the camp, reaching the screaming and terrified bandits!
"ROOOAARRR!"
The dragon roared, intimidating everyone with a roar that made some of them instantly paralyzed in terror!
"Unnghh…!"
"Gyaaaggh…!"
Alongside that, it exuded a deadly black and azure aura that unleashed an even terrifying aura of fear!
The figures that emerged, a giant wolf, a beast-kin girl, an old ice giant woman, and a young ice giant woman rushed towards the bandits, chasing those that managed to not get paralyzed.
The bandit boss was not paralyzed, somehow, as he ran away for his life.
However, one of the assailants, a young ice giant woman rushed towards him as she suddenly conjured a strange type of magic!
An enormous spear made of black and oozy slime emerged out of thin air, as she launched it towards the man!
FLASH!
"W-What kind of magic is that?!" cried the boss, as he conjured a large boulder and launched it at the spear attack, both projectiles impacted one another, but the girl's attack splattered over the boulder and then threw it through the air!
"EHH?!"
The woman smiled a bit as she controlled the black of oozy mold, which entangled the giant boulder, and threw the boulder back to the bandit boss!
The bandit boss screamed in surprise as he tried to generate a barrier stone wall to protect himself, but the boulder was incredibly fast, reaching him and clashing against his head!
CLAAASH!
"GGUEUEGH…!"
The power of the boulder was enough to crack his resilient head and splatter all the head into pieces, painting the white snow into crimson-red.
SPLAT!
The girl glanced at the corpse with a bit of surprise.
"Oh… It wasn't so hard…" she said, as she quickly ran towards her next prey.
Meanwhile, the old grandma was laughing maliciously as she conjured large spears of ice and fired them at the bandits, impaling three of them with them and covering them with holes across their entire bodies, seeing them slowly die agonizing deaths…
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"UUUGGRRAAAGGH…!"
"IT HURTS…!"
"STOOP!"
"Gyahahahaha! Suffer! Suffer, you damn bastards! By Ymir, I love to slaughter bandits!" laughed the grandma, as her party got to know more about her "hidden side".
Meanwhile, the wolf and the fluffy white beast-girl rushed over the bandits, as the wolf easily leaped over them and bit their necks, tearing apart their heads of their bodies, while the small beast-kin girl jumped over their torsos and slashed their bodies into pieces with her sharp claws…
The dragon continued to kill as well, mostly firing projectiles of ice with amazing precision, slaughtering a bunch of bandits with utmost ease...
The slaughter continued for
few minutes, until every single bandit was killed…
-----
We quickly jumped into action. I started by slaughtering that one guy that was about to do something shady to that woman, and then I jumped over a camp and crushed two guys beneath my feet (I had no idea they were there, I swear).
After that, the rest of the party rushed inside the camp as we slaughtered the bandits running away. Fear-inducing aura came into handy today, as I was able to use it to inflict a lot of fear to the point that most of these guys got paralyzed out of fear.
Benladann quickly killed the Bandit Boss by using her mold and grabbing the boulder he threw at her with his magic, she crushed him with his same boulder… what a letdown.
Well, at the very least it was an easy kill for Benladann, and she got a bit accustomed to killing after she killed three more bandits with a provisional axe I made for her alongside her mold magic.
Draugann slaughtered the bandits while laughing maliciously and she really scared the shit out of me right there…
Afterward, Frost ad Yuki slaughtered their own bandits and after a bit… we were done!
Ah, the slaves… well, they all fell unconscious in the middle of the fight, so we brought them back to Fuyu alongside all of the bandit's things, they had some interesting stuff I haven't seen before.
No one was into cannibalism, but the meat of the bandits might be food for the wolves or the other tamed pets, so I froze them into cubes of ice for later. Oh, and I decided to eat their mana cores, of course, alongside some of the corpses. I ate the Boss and five other bandits, I think that was more than enough.
Huh? I wonder if I should have left some remorse by eating people mildly similar to human beings… But nope, no remorse at all, I guess I am just as bloodthirsty as I look.
Anyways, their meat wasn't the best, it was pretty bland, but nothing too bad either… decent at most, I would give them that.
Ding!
<You learned the following Skills>
[Acrobatics: Level 1]
[Plunder: Level 1]
[Axe Technique: Level 1]
[Mace Technique: Level 1]
..
Oh, even this trash gave me some useful skills! Who would have guessed?
Acrobatics is a Skill that most of those that practice a lot of slim movements or fighting techniques learn, it enhances dexterity and movement flexibility.
And Plunder… it seems to be a Skill that enhances the chances of successfully stealing something from another person without them realizing it! Wow, did they had this as an Ability? They were so trash I didn't even check their stats.
Axe and Mace techniques are interesting ones, but like all the other technique abilities, they enhance my ability to use these weapon types.
Sadly I didn't get anything like Earth Magic from the bandit boss… But well, that's how life is anyway.
After this, it seems that I was finally able to see if I could shapeshift into an ice giant form… At long last!
Please, don't look like those ugly guys…
