I, the Sacrifice, Somehow Killed the Evil God - CH 68

Chapter title: Bandit Attack

Serena’s voice made us look out the carriage window.

There were dozens of bandits there.

They were blocking our path with their carriages, and surrounding my carriage in a circle to prevent it from escaping.

It seems that they were waiting for me here.

Bandit Leader: 「Heh heh heh. Be quiet.」

A man carrying a scimitar on his shoulder warned us.

Bandit A: 「There are four of them, by the looks of it. There are a lot of beautiful girls here. There’s even an elf here.」

Serena embraces her body under the lustful gaze. Her face was filled with disgust.

Bandit Leader: 「And this is an Ethereal Carriage, isn’t it? It’s an artifact that can be sold for a fortune. It’s my lucky day when something like this comes along.」

Bandit B: 「Hey, boss! Let’s take it away as quickly as possible!」

Before I knew it, the bandits had closed the distance between us. It would be impossible to move the wagon from here.

Bandit Leader: 「Wait a minute. It’s a shame if he resisted and got hurt. Hey there, man. I’ll let you off the hook and you can leave this place!」

They must have no doubt about their superiority. The man smiles a lowly smile.

Elt:「Of course I’m going to say no.」

I let out a sigh and replied in a mocking tone.

Bandit Leader: 「That’s your attitude in front of all these people. Are you really that stupid?」

The bandit’s leader raised his scimitar.

Bandit Leader: 「Enough! Kill the man. I’ll take the women back to my hideout, so don’t hurt them!」

With that order, the bandits began to move. I followed their movements with my eyes…….

Elt: 「Serena. Take the left side.」

Serena: 「All right.」

I decided to leave Serena, who had the means to attack from a distance, the left side, where she was farther away from the enemy, and I would deal with the leader of the bandits in front.

Elt: 「Alice. Can I ask you fight as well?」

Alicia: 「Of course. I’d rather not be asked to sit around like this.」

Elt: 「Well, Alice, you’re on the right side. I’m sure you’ll be fine, but just don’t overdo it.」

This would leave the right side unattended, but I’ll ask Alice to take care of that.

Alice: 「Fufufu, it’s not bad to be recognized by Elt. As you requested, I will not let you touch a single finger.」

I was able to rely on her as she had said she would help as long as she followed me.

Alice jumped out of the carriage, drew her sword and slashed at the bandits.

Alicia: 「Elt. What about me?」

Alicia clutched her staff and looked worried.

She seemed to be nervous, as if she wasn’t used to the rough stuff.

I told her.

Elt: 「Alicia, you stay here. Stay put until I come back.」

With that, I jumped out of the carriage.

Bandit C: 「Guh! You elf! You’re a spirit wizard!」

Bandit D: 「Burn it down!」

On the left side, Serena is ordering the fire spirits to shoot out fireballs and attack the bandits.

Bandit E: 「What the hell is this woman doing!? I can’t follow her with my eyes!」

On the right side, Alice was running around in all directions, toying with the bandits.

Bandit Leader: 「Tch! They’re just a couple of girls and a pathetic boy. I’m going to kill them and get rid of them myself.」

The head of the bandits took his scimitar, swung it over his head and rushed at me. He must be planning to use his huge body to subdue it with force. But I held my sword above my head, ready to catch it.

Bandit Leader: 「You idiot! You can’t catch my sword, because your thin arms can’t handle it! I’ll blow your brains out!」

The leader swung the scimitar down. The next moment. I can feel the impact on my arm…….

–Guyin–

Bandit Leader: 「I, impossible. You’ve caught my sword?」

It’s not as powerful or intimidating as the High Demon or the Arc Demon.

I put on a cool face and…….

Elt: 「Um. Can I fight back?」

After confirming this, he jumped up on his sword.

Bandit Leader: 「What are you?」

The leader opens his eyes in astonishment. I answer the question while looking at his face, which is covered with fear.

Elt:「I’m just civilian.」

The next moment, I move with blinding speed to his blind spot――

Bandit Leader: 「Wh!?」

―― And he lost consciousness.

TL: 26/26 – And done!
