Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 490 All I Have To Do Is Kill (IV)

"She developed quite a lot of trauma due to that and it made her really cautious in many ways and if she ever goes near a place that will remind her of the place she was brought in, she will have panic attacks and she will turn into something like what she is right now which is quite troublesome and a bit concerning as she will start hurting herself."

A bit concerning indeed. It would attract a lot of attention from everyone if she started to make the same panic attacks and it will make the NPCs with hostile traits get attracted to us and will cause trouble which will be a big nuance for us to search for the target.

"Fine, fine. Let's do this instead, you guys will stay near but I will have to let you all hide and you all will be staying above the ground to keep up with what is happening below."

"Huh? Aren't we gonna give out more attention to them if we do that?"

"Not really. Tina."

"Yes, Master."

The sudden appearance of Tina caused the four to be shocked again. This time, it was understandable as Tina appeared behind them.

"You have an ability that will allow someone to remain invisible right?"

"Yes, Master. It's one of my common abilities, [Cloaking Dust]"

"How long will they be able to remain invisible?"

"I can keep them remain invisible as long as they are not detected by anyone using any detection magic or instruments that can erase any kind of stealth magic. It will also depend on how much mana I have left as it will continue to reduce my mana the longer my target stays invisible."

"Then that's good. Leona."

Leona appeared before us and since the four had already seen Leona before, they are no longer shocked at her appearance. after I called though I looked forward to their reactions every time. Looks like once is just enough.

"Go and ride on Leona. Lucia, and Tina, you guys should also join on Leona's back. Leona, just hover above us but don't go too low that will cause them to detect you guys out. Tina, cast your [Cloaking Dust] once everyone has already been on Leona's back. You too should join in to ride on Leona so that you can maintain the magic spell. Here are some bottles of potions in case you run out of mana. As for you guys just observe from above."

"No, I am gonna be coming with you. It wouldn't feel right for us if we are just the ones who are left to be safe from enemies. At least bring me along with you."

"But you won't be fighting here, are you still gonna join? It will be pretty much a hard task to remain alive there."

"Yes, no worries. Don't worry about me and I know how to deal matters with, easily."

"Well then. If that is what you want, then go ahead. How about Koji and Shana, are you two gonna stay too or you will be boarding Leona? Either is fine by me."

"Ah, I would rather stay beside Yna in case she tends to go have a panic attack. I know how to calm her down if that ever happens," Koji immediately answered.

"Since Koji is there, I don't think I need to stay with them this time. I will be joining you alongside Gin to enter the village."

"Is that so? Well then, let's get into it."

Leona started flying after Koji, Yna, Lucia and Tina have climbed behind her. Before they fly high up in the sky, Tina cast her [Cloaking Dust ] to themselves, allowing them to remain invisible. If not for the fact that Tina is my follower and the others are my party members, I wouldn't even notice that they are currently up above.

With them high up in the sky, we started walking on foot towards the village. We aren't far from the village just yet when a few thugs have appeared with menacing looks on their faces. As much as they look menacing to me, they don't seem to be one at all that their provocating looks just look like a punchable face.

I have been here in the past timeline and I know one of their motto and rule in this place.

"Only the strongest will survive."

It sounds simple but it is enough for the outlaw town to be known as a dangerous place for people who are noncombatant.

"Should I deal with them, Master?" Atlas asked.

"No need. I will take care of them myself."

As we continue to walk, I pulled out my Versatile Weapon and changed its form causing Shana and Gin to be confused and shocked seeing that it changed form. As we continue to move forward, I aimed the two pistols before me before I started blasting as I pull the trigger of the gun.

BANG BANG BANG

Once the sound of the gun resounded, the NPC bandits died. Killing these guys serves no penalty which is why I can kill them without any problem for me.

"There, all clean again." as I return the form of the Versatile Weapon back into a gun.

I can tell that Shana and Gin are so ready to ask some questions but they didn't have time to ask when the guys have started to appear before us.

"Ha! How dare you step into..."

BANG!

Before the bandit can finish what he is talking about, I shot him with a gun in the head, killing him instantly.

"You guys keep doing some dialogues that are too long to keep listening into. You guys should at least learn something new instead of doing something again and again like that."

The remaining bandits were now hesitant to fight to see as I don't even hesitate to shoot someone even though they have yet to show aggression toward us.  Even if they are bandits, that doesn't mean they don't fear anything that can kill them.

"You guys think that only you guys can do what you want? Well, that also applies to us."
