--- Chapter 55 ---

"Hello There," Yunlong said with a katana in his hand, which made the bandit in the cave alerted by his abrupt entrance.

"Who-!" The nearest bandit shouted, but he didn't even finish his words since Yunlong already kicked him on the stomach.

Bam! Cough!

The bandit coughed a mouthful of blood before getting launched away by Yunlong's kick.

Yunlong flicked a needle toward the launched bandit, which pass through his heart and instantly kill him.

[You have killed a mountain bandit]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have gained a piece of bandit's soul]

[Objective: Eliminated Bandits(1/111)

The remaining bandits are staring at this scene with a shocked expression on their faces.

"One defeated. One hundred and ten to go." Yunlong's quiet voice echoed in their ears.

"Are you sure that you all want to daze at this moment? You'll die... You know?" He stated while unsheathing his katana, making a cold breeze brushed their neck.

"A-Attack him! As long we restrain him back until the leader comes, W-We'll survive!" One bandit shouted while raising his blade to Yunlong, even though we can see that his legs were trembling because of fear.

"Oh, Good! Let's see how much you guys can restrain(entertain) me, starting from you." Yunlong grinned while pointing his sword toward the bandit, who previously shouted not to give up.

"N-No!" The bandit tried to run, but he can clearly hear Yunlong's voice in his head, like a death sentence from a death god itself.

"Early Summer Rain, Pierce." Yunlong thrust his katana forward, which launched a sword intent straight to the bandit's head.

"I-I don't wanna die-." The bandit's head exploded before he could even finish his words.

[You have gained a piece of bandit's soul]

[Objective: Eliminated Bandit(2/111)

"R-Run! Call the leader!!!" The bandits instantly panicked when they saw their comrade's head explode and his blood splattered on their faces.

Yunlong activated his sharingan, which makes him more menacing because his eyes turned crimson with three rotated tomoes.

"D-Demon. He's a demon!" one bandit said while looking at Yunlong's sharingan, which makes him looks like an evil demon in the bandit's view.

'Demon, huh. I'm okay with it. A menacing nickname that can strike my enemy in fear can be helpful for me.' Yunlong thought while observing the bandits.

'No one will know about it, except my sides, though.' He inwardly added.

The bandits ran away toward a door near a small pond and most likely led to the bandit leader room.

"Thanks for showing me the way." Yunlong appeared in front of the door, using his movement technique, which caught them off guard.

"Now, die..." He coldly stated while swinging his sword in the air, forming a ray of lights that struck the bandit's heads.

"Unison Season Arts: Third Sword, Scattering Thunder Lights."

Yunlong calmly pulled his katana back since bandits' lifeless bodies start to fell to the ground.

[You have killed a mountain bandit]

[You have killed...]

[You have gained a piece of bandit's soul]

[You have gained...]

[Your proficiency in soul manipulation have significantly increased]

Yunlong can hear hundreds of notifications inside of his head. Still, he calmly listened to it until it stopped while closing his eyes.

"As always, Yunlong's strength is absurd." Qian Renxue quietly commented while looking at her brother.

"He's different." Chu Xiaoyu suddenly commented, which puts a wry smile on Renxue's face.

"You're not wrong." Qian Renxue responded with a weak chuckle while shifting her gaze at the iron cage.

"Strong..." Yu Ning'er whispered with widened eyes because she doesn't expect Yunlong to be this strong.

"He's strong, so you don't have to worry about his safety excessively." Chu Xiaoyu responded while staring at her junior, who is nodding her head at her.

"But, young master most likely worried about us." She abruptly added, making Yu Ning'er confused.

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Ning'er asked while intently staring at Xiaoyu.

"What Xiaoyu wants to say is that Yunlong worried about your safety because you're weak." Qian Renxue interjected while looking at the two maids.

"Well, I know your feeling. Yunlong is strong, but it motivated me to become stronger, so I can stand beside him." She added with a smile on her face, making the Yu Ning'er somewhat better in her heart.

'Strong so that I can stand beside him.' Yu Ning'er repeated Renxue's word in her heart while looking at Yunlong.

"I think we should begin to rescue those hostages now." The driver suddenly said, which makes the girls nodding their heads.

"Let's go." Qian Renxue stated before moving toward the iron cage, followed by the maids and the driver.

Meanwhile, on Yunlong's side, we can see that he's knocking on the door.

Knock! Knock!

"Well, I tried," Yunlong said while shrugging off his shoulder.

He stared at the door for a moment and then decided to use force, and it was to punch the door with his fist.

'Ten percent should be enough?' Yunlong thought while pulling his right arms and then launched a powerful punch on the door.

BAM!

"Surprise motherfu-?" Yunlong said with a grin on his face, but surprisingly, what he saw in front of him now wasn't what he expected.

Before his eyes, Yunlong can see two men surrounded by many un-dressed women as a scent of alcohol reeking from them.

"Who are you? How did you get into my room?!" One of the men said while frowning at Yunlong because he never saw this brat before.

"My subordinates should be guarding the door. What happened to them?" He added while making eye contact with Yunlong's sharingan.

"Uh... I'm sorry. They're dead." Yunlong innocently responded with a smile on his face, which caught the man off guard.

"Well, see you later." He stated while using an illusion on the man, making the other man panicked because his business partner suddenly becomes quiet.

"What are you doing to him?!" The other man asked while shifting his gaze at Yunlong, who already appeared in front of him.

"Stare at my eyes," Yunlong said to him and making him fall into his illusion.

--- Illusion Time ---

In the illusion, we can see two of them being tied into a pole as a manly voice echoed in the area.

"Hmm? Do you guys want to become a magical girl too, Nyo?"

"Who's there? Show yourself!" The bandit leader shouted while looking around.

A muscular man with twin-tailed black hair suddenly appeared in front of them. He wore a weird outfit, which makes both of them shivering for an unknown reason.

"Do you want to become a magical girl, nyo?" The muscular man asked while staring closely at the bandit leader.

"You want to become a magical girl, right nyo?" He added while squeezing his shoulder.

"W-Who are you..." The bandit leader suddenly becomes afraid when he saw the muscular man smiled at him.

"Me? I'm your magical girl, Mil-tan, nyo!" The muscular man responded while doing a cute pose.

"Well, you'll know more later, nyo" Mil-tan girlishly laughed while staring at them, "Let's start..."

--- One hour later ---

"No! Free me, Free me from this place" The bandit leader is struggling to free himself from the pole.

"Help! Help!!" The other man shouted in panic.

"Hmph, It seems that you two need more education from me, nyo." Mil-tan said with a wide grin on his face, which makes them shivered in cold sweats.

"NOOO!"

--- In the real world ---

"Uhh, that should be worse than I thought," Yunlong commented while looking at them in pity.

The two men were lying in the puddle of yellow liquid while shedding blood from their eyes because experiencing something more horrible than death in the illusion.

"Well, let's finish my quest first," Yunlong said while stabbing his katana on the bandit leader's head.
