Chapter 4: [Quest Complete!]
-BOOM!
-BOOM!
-Slash! x ???
The attacks continued for another 10 minutes or so, as those bandits kept attacking without any pause. From the looks in their eyes, it seems they could see me…
The crossbow bandit was glaring at me rather intensely. He positioned his crossbow at me as I took a step back.
-Thak!
The arrow hit the barrier formed by the caravan before shattering into pieces.
I looked at the crossbow guy for a moment before a smirk formed on my face,
"Heh!" I mumbled, making him fume even more as he attacked a couple of times more before he was stopped by his comrades.
"Now we wait, huh?" I questioned, as I saw those men doing the same. Rather than leaving me behind all by myself, they were now talking to each other while keeping an eye on me.
Since I had nothing to do, I observed them for the time being. Unlike before, when they killed me on sight, this time I had the chance to analyze them much more clearly.
40 minutes passed as I saw them still waiting for me, while the mages among them tried many things to open the gate of the caravan using magic. One of them even tried to use knives as a key.
I was kind of afraid at first, but after their repeated failure, I started watching them intently. Looking at the precise magic made me rather in awe of the mage as I looked at him with slight envy.
'One day I'll use magic too!' I vowed inside before I heard a notification.

"Chotto matte kudasai! I have good command on English, okay? What do you mean I don't even understand my first language completely?!!"
That was rather rude of the System!
"Asbesto sne lieanr treu!" One of the bandits with the long sword spoke as he looked at his partner, while the others were busy doing their own things.
[New Language Found: Livian Language!]
[Proficiency: 1%!]
"Oh! So I could comprehend it just by listening to it, huh?" I thought as I understood how the skill worked.
While I was amazed by the skill, the two men started arguing more and more, gathering the attention of not only me but the other bandits.
I looked at them, trying to understand the language a bit more. While 1% would probably do nothing, it should increase if I try right?
And just as I predicted!

The argument continued for another 5 to 10 minutes before it was finally resolved by the other members.

"Are we escaed him? Ire linae kill! Dead will inresa!!" Hearing their words, I could understand them a little.
'But even if I understood them, what should I do? Strike a deal with them?' I questioned, as I didn't find any other quest popping.
Fighting with them was a no-no. It's basically suicide to be blunt.
"ESPCADAA!!!!" One of the bandits, probably a female member, shouted attracting my attention.
Looking at the girl through the window, I saw her shivering in fear as she pointed in the direction where I went first.
'If I am not wrong, wasn't the nasilisk monster there?' I questioned as I observed the area…
And on point, the basilisk came running through the desert as he moved towards us with heavy steps.
-Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sound of the monster's heavy footsteps sent chills down my spine as I recalled the first time I ran to that point.
"Fire!!" one of the bandits shouted as the mages began chanting spells, one after another. I focused on their attacks towards the monster.
The blue-coloured bolt reached the Basilisk, harming him a little.
-SCREEECCCHHH!!!
Though it only enraged him even more as it increased its speed towards here.
"Lerge the caravan!" the bandit leader shouted as the others ran behind the caravan immediately.
"Gulp!!"
The Basilisk ran towards the caravan with all power.
'It should be fine, right?' I questioned before
-BAMM!!!
[You Have Died!]
[Game Over!]
[Restarting from Last Save Point!]
[Error! No Save Point Found!]
[Restarting from Start!]
I stood back where I was before. In the desert about a hundred meters away from the caravan.
[Quest: Survive!]
The quest was once again there with the same requirements and same rewards. I sighed as I moved into the caravan again.
"Do I need to comprehend the entire language thingy again?" I groaned as I laid on my back. My eyes closed as I was glad that I could relax for an hour before something could happen. Enough time to find a way out of this mess.
The bandits came like before. Attacked for sometime before starting to talk among themselves. And 60 minutes later…
[You have gained a new Skill: Language Comprehension!]

My eyes opened wide as I looked at the proficiency that still didn't reduce… even one bit.
