Chapter 119 - Three Versus Many
"That\'s him. I saw it with my own eyes. He\'s the one who attracted those mutated animals and zombies."
Nile was forced to stop in his tracks hearing the man who popped out of nowhere shout.
\'Aren\'t they happy I attracted the enemy\'s attention?\' Nile thought.
If he didn\'t attract and kill some of the zombie pets, with their number, can they cope up with the endless stream of zombie pets? Would they still be here if he didn\'t do it?
\'What\'s wrong with these guys?\' Nile thought bewildered.
"What? That\'s him?" Desmon said after seeing Nile\'s scrawny appearance. He scanned Nile\'s body up and down before looking at the man who just shouted. "Are you fucking kidding with me?"
"No no, that\'s really him. I saw it with my own eyes. He was the one who made those small explosions earlier. He attracted those mutated animals and zombies." The man said while retreating backward in fear of Desmon\'s deathly stare.
The people around them then started murmuring, cursing Nile, and his whole ancestors in the process. All the people stared at Nile with a death glare. If glares are sword slashes, then Nile might have already experienced a thousand cuts by now.
"What the fuck is wrong with that man?" Said one of them angrily while gripping the thick baton in his hand more tightly.
"Yeah, how could he do that?"
"Do we have a conflict with him? No? Then why did he do that?"
"Fuck him!"
"Fuck him. Let\'s just kill him and get our revenge!"
"Yeah. No matter if he did it or not? Killing him is not a problem. Right? Chief?" Said a fat man while looking expectantly at Raymon.
"Chief, let\'s kill that man and roast the carabao and the croc-"
Cough! Cough! Cough!
The man who spoke last couldn\'t finish his speech as a sword was now embedded on his throat. Blood kept on dripping from the wound as the man struggled to get some air to breathe. His eyes were still wide open when he fell back to the ground, dead.
"Attack!" Raymon said after seeing the scene unfold in front of his eyes.
He originally wanted to observe their enemy first. He saw how tattered the man\'s clothes were. He also noticed that the carabao and the crocodile were also donning tattered clothes. Besides that, it seems that the clothes were bloody too.
Raymon felt suspicious, and he thought that something was amiss.
However, seeing his crew getting killed in front of his eyes, Raymon snapped and instantly ordered to kill the man who disrespected him.
Nile, Croco, and Max arrived in front of the gathering in an instant. He retrieves the thrown Kriegsmesser of Agony from the man\'s throat before swinging it to the side to deflect an attack.
The Nile didn\'t know why the people in front of him keeps on giving him a deathly glare. However, his mind went red after hearing someone talk about roasting a carabao.
Nile didn\'t think anymore and instantly threw the Kriegsmesser of Agony towards the man who spoke. In the process, Nile also turned the pain enhancing the function of the sword to the fullest to let the man experience a more than death pain experience.
Unfortunately, it seems the man was quite lucky as he died a few seconds after the sword struck his throat.
Nile didn\'t wait for the man\'s comrades to attack him. He dashed in and retrieved the Kriegsmesser of Agony, Nile then twisted his body and deflected an incoming attack.
The man who made the attack has the body of a hulk. He\'s holding a sword on his right hand, the one Nile just deflected. The man is Raymon.
The enemy troops had now recovered from their thoughts. Instantly, they threw themselves towards Nile holding a weapon each.
Nile saw this and he instantly knew they were at a disadvantage. The enemy this time were dozens of thinking men. Unlike the zombies, their attacks are not monotonous and repetitive.
Not to mention, the village entrance was pretty narrow and is not a good place to battle. It was alright if it\'s only him as he could even take advantage of the narrow place to not get swarmed by the enemy\'s attacks. However, he has two pets fighting alongside him.
The Nile somersaulted away from Maximo\'s back while piercing a man\'s stomach in the process. He instructed his two pets to make a distance from him so they won\'t get in each other\'s way. He also told them to go past the village\'s entrance, the area where there is an open space.
The two listened and instantly dashed away from him.
A battle of three versus many then unfolded on this very night. The very night when a zombie pet horde had just finished wreaking havoc on the village.
"Retreat, you can\'t beat him. Focus on killing the two mutated animals first." Raymon said after seeing that more and more of his crew were getting killed in every move that the enemy made.
Reluctant as he was, he must admit that the enemy was stronger than him and his brother combined.
His crew retreated to the back to focus on attacking the two mutated animals, who were also wreaking havoc towards his other crew.
Raymon and Desmon stared warily at Nile.
Raymon had now switched his broken scimitar from before to the short sword he was holding now. A bulky man like him holding such a small sword was definitely off, but Raymon didn\'t mind it a bit. As right now, his mind churned just to think of how to defeat the man in front of him.
Desmon held a two thick club in his two hands. The two thick clubs just fit right with his orc-like appearance and body. He was now standing right beside Raymon, waiting for his brother\'s instructions.
Nile was now backed in a corner, multiple bodies were piled in front of him as he stared at the duo who had yet to initiate an attack. He held two swords that were dripping with blood in his two hands, waiting for the right moment to attack.
He inspected the \'stats\' of the two men in front of him and he couldn\'t help but feel surprised. The one holding a sword had a strength of 13.8 while the one holding two clubs had a stats of 12.3.
Pretty strong, he must say. However, this kind of stats no longer mattered to Nile. As currently, nobody in the same Level could
contend with him, who already has peak stats as well as peak swords at his disposal.
Seeing that the duo hadn\'t still made a move. Nile decided to strike first and end the duo\'s life instantly to help Maximo and Croco who were also having a hard battle on their own at the distance.
Swoosh!
In the eyes of the two, it looks like Nile had disappeared all of a sudden.
"Dodge!" Raymon hastily shouted after a moment of daze.
Desmon heard the frantic shout of his older brother and instantly twisted his body to the side. Unfortunately, he was still late by a second. A blade appeared all of a sudden and sliced off a part of his protruding chest, making it into a flat surface.
"Arghh nooo!" Desmon roared in agony after seeing his chest getting cut off.
The reason for his agonistic scream was still undecided, as Nile didn\'t know if he was screaming due to the Kriegsmesser\'s extra function or because his hard-earned chest muscles had just been sliced off just like that.
"Y-you... I kill you now?" Raymon shouted in rage after seeing the bloody chest of his younger brother.
He swung his short sword towards Nile which the latter evaded easily due to the sword having just a small range.
Nile twisted his body to the side and kicked Desmon who was still screaming in pain beside him.
Desmon\'s body flew for a few meters before it got stopped by a fence. Blood drips from his chest as he clutches it with his left hand, trying to stop the flow of blood.
As he was kicking, Nile didn\'t notice a fist-size rock was flying towards him. The rock struck his shoulder making it a little numb.
Nile\'s grip on his Katana loosened a little due to the sudden pain he felt. Fortunately, he recovered it fast as a short sword was now about to hit his stomach.
Nile did his best to raise the Katana and deflect the short sword, a short moment later, Nile raised the Kriegsmesser all of a sudden, and the sound of something hitting metal echoed in the area. Nile just successfully deflected another fist-size rock thrown towards him.
Another rock was coming and Nile knew where it was coming from. Hurriedly, Nile spun his body while punching Raymon\'s head in the process. Raymon tilted his head to dodge but it was still grazed by the fist, causing his bulky body to spin in a full circle.
After the spin, Nile was now facing the area where a rock had just come from. In fact, at the moment, another fist-sized rock was also coming towards him trying to hit his face.
Nile duck successfully evading the incoming rock. The rock flew past above his head without touching any hair.
However, someone seems to be having a bad day as the rock that flew past Nile\'s head, had now struck the still lying Desmon squarely in the face.
As he was ducking, Nile made a sprint pose all of sudden. His calf and legs tightened at the same time as Nile\'s body dashed like a lightning towards the area where the flying rocks were coming from.
