Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 121 Crow Gang (5)

?

This was a rough voice that sounded like gravel being scraped.

Hearing this kind of voice was very uncomfortable for people, but when the boss of the Crow Gang heard this, his expression lit up. It was as if he had heard the voice of his saviour.

There was a large cloaked figure that had been hidden by the thugs before that stood up and walked over to where the boss was.

The boss looked at this cloaked figure with narrowed eyes before asking, "Are you sure? If you do this, you won't be able to stay here anymore."

Though he said this, there was a part of him deep down that still wanted the cloaked figure to do this. He knew how much money they would earn from this job, so he didn't want to give it up if he didn't have to.

Even if he was a smart man that understood the risks of killing a noble, he was also greedy in that he couldn't let go of the large amount of money that came with this if he had a choice.

"Ga, ba, ba, ba." The laugh from this cloaked figure was like the sound of rocks falling down a cliff before they said, "It's not a problem for me to kill a noble. You don't have to worry about me at all."

As he said this, I couldn't help feeling a chill run down my spine.

It was because I could tell that he was serious about this.

This was a conviction and confidence that these thugs didn't have, this was real conviction and confidence that couldn't be defeated.

I never thought that I would meet this kind of person here.

But at the same time, I couldn't help feeling that this kind of voice seemed familiar…There was something about it that made me feel like I had heard a voice like this before.

Seeing that he was so confident, the boss said, "Alright, then do it."

The cloaked figure gave a nod before saying, "Make sure you add a bit extra to our severance pay."

The boss gave a strong nod as he said, "No problem."

These two weren't subordinates of the Crow Gang, these two were mercenaries that the boss had hired for a certain job.

The reason that they were still in the Crow Gang now was because of the skills and power that they had demonstrated. They far surpassed any of the subordinates that the Crow Gang had, so the boss had spent quite a bit of money to keep them here.

It seemed like his investment had really paid off in the end.

So the boss said, "Clear out the rest and leave the noble to Rock and Bat."

Rock and Bat was the nickname that these two had given him. Rock was the large cloaked figure and Bat was the smaller and thinner cloaked figure that used daggers.

With this order, the battle began.

Since they knew that they didn't have to fight the noble themselves, the gangsters were filled with enthusiasm.

They knew how much this job would bring them, so their greed filled them with excitement.

Seeing that they weren't willing to back down, Shaka and Jessica pulled out their weapons to face them. As they moved forward, they made sure that I was behind them so that they could protect me.

This made me feel awkward since I was part of the group that was being protected, but I knew that there was no other choice since I really wasn't a fighter.

So I moved over to where Haley and her father were to help untie them while the rest fought.

There was nothing to say about Jessica's ability to fight since she was a knight who had been specially trained by Cecilia. She was someone who could even fight middle class monsters at a slight disadvantage, so she had no problem fighting these thugs.

Shaka on the other hand was surprisingly a powerful fighter that didn't lose to Jessica in battle strength.

He focused more on speed than power, but his speed was at a level that the thugs just couldn't keep up with. By the time that they reacted, he was already behind them and his daggers were at their throats.

So the gangsters weren't able to make any progress forward with the two of them keeping guard.

That is until the two cloaked figures made their way forward.

The one called Bats came forward with his dagger raised and he stopped Shaka in his tracks. The speed that he demonstrated was more than enough to keep up with Shaka, so the two of them entered a stalemate.

As for the one called Rock, he pulled out a large sword that was almost as big as Jessica.

With a single sweep of this sword, Jessica who tried to block it was sent flying. 

She was able to block it and she wasn't hurt by this attack, but the force behind it was far more than she could negate, so she was sent flying through the air.

The large cloaked figure didn't follow up on this after sending Jessica flying. Instead, he continued charging forward towards me.

Jessica saw this and with a skilled flip in the air, she landed on her feet before charging at the tall cloaked figure.

·??m But before she could take more than two steps, there was a dagger that flew through the air towards her. She was barely able to twist herself in time so that the dagger landed on her sword and not her neck.

This dagger had come from Bats who had been fighting Shaka.

He had two daggers in his hand, one that he was using to fend off Shaka's attack and the other that he had thrown at Jessica.

Seeing that he didn't have another dagger, Jessica turned back to the large cloaked figure.

But she was wrong about this as Bats pulled out a dagger from an unknown place that he threw at her again. She had no choice but to dodge this dagger and stay where she was since she knew that she would be stabbed in the back if she charged at the large cloaked figure.

Just like this, Bats was able to keep the two best fighters on our side occupied by himself.

It didn't even look like he was breaking a sweat with the way that he was fighting.

So the large cloaked figure was given an open path to me that he took.

As he ran at me, the large sword in his hand came up above his head and it was clear that he was going to smash it down at me.

Since this sword was even bigger than Jessica, this sword was considered massive for me who was shorter than her. It was so big that it looked like it could crush me just by falling on me.

Not to mention someone swinging it down on my head with all the force that they could muster.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like I was about to die.

But I didn't panic at all when I saw the large cloaked figure running at me.
