Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 12: Double Sword Mask
The Pyroxene Tavern at night is a place for the lower class to have fun.
Diafis has strict management, and every entrance of the tavern is guarded by special gang members.
Anyone entering is not allowed to bring weapons. But at the same time, the Akron gang members are responsible for protecting their lives .
That's fair.
Except for a few low-level adventurers who don't know whether to live or die, most people will abide by this rule which is not too excessive. As for the former, people will basically see their bodies in the sewer the next day.
Never provoke the local bullies; this is the survival rule for adventurers.
However, for Marvin, he had to make an exception tonight.
Marvin's principle is "I won't offend others unless they offend me." If the Akron gang dares to assassinate him, they should be prepared for revenge.
As early as nightfall, he had made all preparations, holding two swords, with two daggers and a spare scimitar hanging on his waist. This was the limit of his load. Any more would affect his dexterity.
He was wearing a black mask that covered half of his face. It wasn't that he wanted to hide his identity, but his experience had taught him that the more mysterious something was, the more frightening it would cause.
Today he is going to unleash fear on the Akron gang's territory!
…
The guards of the Pyroxene Tavern were no match for him. He knew that in taverns like this, there was usually one place that was the weakest.
kitchen.
He had already heard from the slums that someone would regularly transport supplies such as vegetables, fruits, and wine barrels to the storage room every day, and they would enter and exit from the kitchen.
The guards here are also the most lax.
At 7:30 in the evening, the cart carrying vegetables and fruits arrived as scheduled. Two guards immediately stepped forward and began to check the items on the cart.
At this moment, Marvin, who had turned on stealth, successfully broke in.
The kitchen was filled with a fishy smell. The two chefs were making side dishes cautiously, not daring to even glance at the food.
In the corner, there were bursts of low sobbing.
Marvin frowned slightly.
There were two common members of the Akron gang, beating up a poor little girl!
The little girl was very strong and stubborn. She looked only five or six years old, but when faced with the beating from two adults, she could only sob involuntarily but refused to beg for mercy or cry loudly.
"Your mother is dead! Remember, get away from me! Damn it, the daughter of a bitch is so stubborn!"
A thin man cursed, "How dare she ask us for money? She took on all kinds of clients and finally got sick and died. She deserved it!"
"Swindler!" The little girl whose hair was grabbed shouted angrily, "She still has a lot of money from you! She's not dead yet! She needs that money, I can go find a pastor to save her! Give me the money quickly!"
"Fuck you!" The other man slapped the little girl hard in the face.
The latter was almost knocked unconscious. A large swelling appeared on his face, and blood was flowing from the corner of his eye!
"Give me money!" The refusing to surrender little girl gritted her teeth and yelled desperately.
The two looked at each other, the thin man clenched his fists and nodded.
Marvin knew they were going to kill her.
throat!
A machete was pulled out, and the two chefs were so frightened that their hands trembled and their faces turned pale.
"Do your job well!" The thin man sneered, "You didn't see anything."
One of the young chefs had white knuckles holding the kitchen knife. He gritted his teeth, and in addition to fear, there was also anger in his eyes.
"Don't be impulsive." Another older chef held him back, revealing a trace of sadness: "This is not something we can control."
The thin man grabbed the little girl's shoulder with a machete in his hand .
The latter was too weak to struggle and just stared at him with a fearless look.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, as if he was being stared at by a ghost.
"Little bitch, go to hell!" the thin man cursed.
A cold light flashed.
Blood spurted out and splashed on the little girl's face.
The thin man's head fell to the ground with a thud, and his expression was actually a little stunned.
A figure suddenly appeared behind him!
[Skill Throat Cutting was activated successfully! ]
[Bonus of surprise... effect*2]
[Target dies! Gain 22 kill experience points]
Marvin's full-strength attack, coupled with the bonus of the throat-slitting skill, actually had the effect of the super skill [Headfall] of the third-level profession [Red Road Hunter]!
Marvin's sudden appearance caught the thin man's companion off guard. He was about to take out a weapon to defend himself, but unfortunately Marvin swung his left hand and chopped his head with incredible precision!
Humans are the most fragile creatures. Although they have health points, once they are hit in a fatal part, they will definitely die!
The poor guy's brain suddenly exploded, his body twitched violently, and then he collapsed.
The two chefs were terrified.
The little girl raised her head with difficulty and looked at Marvin.
Her eyes were bright, and deep in her pupils there was a hint of crimson that was unusual for normal people.
"What's your name?" Marvin asked softly, ignoring the two chefs who had quietly hidden under the table.
The little girl looked at Marvin, who was wearing a mask and holding two swords, and she was not afraid at all. She just said weakly: "Isabelle."
"It's a noble name," said Marvin.
"My father gave it to me," said Isabel.
"Tell me, they beat you so badly, why didn't you beg for mercy or run away?" Marvin looked at her.
The little girl gritted her teeth and said, "This is the only way I have."
This was the only way out. Otherwise, her seriously ill mother would surely die. She had no choice but to be beaten to death by gang members before giving it a try.
"what happened?"
The two guards who were checking the cargo rushed into the kitchen in surprise. They smelled blood.
Marvin turned quickly and crossed the shelves silently.
The two guards only saw the little girl in the corner and the two bodies.
Just as they were in great shock, Marvin stepped out of their blind spot, jumped high, and chopped down with both swords in his left and right hands!
With this momentum, the two guards had their heads blown open before they even had time to draw their weapons.
This is the power of dual blades! The left and right hands are very balanced, and you can even use them at the same time and attack two targets at the same time!
The bloody smell in the kitchen became stronger, but it was not a big problem for the time being, as the people in the tavern would just think it was a slaughter.
Seeing this horrific and bloody scene, Isabel took a step forward and whispered, "You are an enemy of the Akron gang, right?"
"I'm going to kill them all tonight," Marvin replied.
He did not treat her lightly just because she was a little girl. Her stubbornness won his respect.
"Do you need a guide?" The little girl staggered over, her eyes bright. "I know every member of the Akron gang and what bad things they have done."
"I know their boss is hiding in the basement in the backyard. I know the way."
Marvin smiled and rubbed Isabel's head: "You are very courageous."
Then he threw a dagger to her.
"Here, Miss Isabel, tonight, we have a common enemy."
The little girl held the dagger in her hand, and her whole body seemed to have undergone a transformation. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where should we start? Assassination?"
"No." Marvin kicked open the kitchen door, held up his two swords, and said calmly: "We will charge in head-on."
…
Once he entered the tavern, Marvin didn't plan to hide anymore.
Although he was very good at this in his previous life, now he is a ranger, not a thief.
His ability in direct combat was much stronger than in his previous life. His footwork, knife skills, and even experience were far better than those gang members. Now that his level had been raised to level 3, he was basically on par with those gang members. One against ten was no joke.
Just a mob.
When Marvin kicked open the kitchen door, a gangster immediately drew out a machete and rushed over.
Gangster knifeman. Level 3. 78 health points!
Unfortunately, they were all clothed and not wearing armor. The life value of human beings was empty before they had armor. Especially in front of a super master like Marvin who was good at lethal attacks.
Clang! When the blades of both sides touched, Marvin was slightly inferior in strength.
But he shook his wrist, and the scimitar slid down along the opponent's blade. Suddenly, with a strange reversal, the blade cut the opponent's wrist!
"ah!"
A scream attracted everyone's attention!
The whole pub suddenly became noisy and bustling!
Someone is looking for trouble! And it looks like they are going to cause trouble until death.
The spectators stepped aside and watched the scene excitedly. The Akron Mafia was a newly rising force, and some people must have disliked him for a long time.
I wonder which gang is behind this attack?
But when they saw that the person who came was only a masked swordsman and a little girl with a bruised face, they immediately showed disappointment.
"So he is an adventurer who doesn't know how to live or die."
"He looks like a dual-blade ranger with some skills, but going alone is like courting death."
"Yeah, this excitement won't last long."
After all, this is the territory of the Akron gang, they have the home advantage, and they have more than 20 strong men. Two of the teams are real professionals, and they are Diafis's trusted members.
In their eyes, this low-level adventurer was dead.
While people were talking, Marvin had already killed the member.
The little girl cleverly found an opportunity and squeezed into the gap between the crowd. She didn't want to be a burden to Marvin.
"Kill him!" a dull voice sounded.
Six professionals dressed in the same attire stepped out from the crowd and surrounded Marvin in the center of the venue.
Two thieves, three knifemen, and one whose occupation is unknown, probably a gangster.
Marvin took a quick glance and got the result without any reconnaissance.
Fighting one against six seems a bit tricky, especially when being surrounded.
"This guy is dead!" someone in the audience said gloatingly.
Three swordsmen rushed over with roars.
Marvin smiled coldly, suddenly rushed to the bar beside him, and then jumped up!
He jumped onto the beam!
18 points of agility allows him to do many things that ordinary people cannot do.
"It's a pity that I haven't yet mastered the art of climbing walls and flying over rooftops, otherwise there wouldn't be much trouble!"
Ma Wen said this in his heart, but his steps were extremely agile. He quickly jumped over several beams and kicked the pillar.
In an instant, he came behind a gangster knifeman!
With the force of falling, the scimitar in his hand flipped over and crossed into a scissors shape!
Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, the gangster knifeman instinctively raised his machete and tried to block the attack.
With a clang, the machete was cut off, leaving a deep wound on the left side of the knifeman's neck that was so deep that the bone could be seen!
"Ah!" screams echoed throughout the tavern. Marvin stabbed him again with an expressionless face, sending him to the west.
"Damn it!" The other five people were almost going crazy.
They rushed forward in one breath.
Marvin kicked a table, which flew away and hit two gangster knifemen.
He moved quickly and pounced on one of the thieves!
