Chapter 14
{ The Bandit Leader 2 }
The sounds continued rising—louder and louder.
The screams of the bandits…
The screams of the wolves…
Powerful explosions…
The group standing behind Ian swallowed nervously.
Soon, the noises began to quiet down.
From inside the cave, a body started to emerge…
It walked with difficulty, its body covered in wounds and flowing blood…
The wolf king.
He was coming out—but not as he had entered.
He looked on the verge of death.
“Hold your breath,” Ian ordered.
“Where are you going?”
A powerful shout echoed.
Behind him, a woman stepped out of the cave—wearing a full silver armor, with sparks of lightning flickering across her body every now and then.
But she, too, was injured.
-Both preys arrived-. Ian smiled in thought…
“Lightning Torrent!”
The woman commanded, and lightning rained down on the wolf king.
Howl.
The wolf king released a loud shockwave, but he was faint and powerless before such strength…
Whoosh.
The wolf king flashed away, retreating into the distance…
“You damned wolf! You think you can escape after killing my men and destroying my camp?” the woman shouted.
In her rage, she didn’t care to notice if there were others around…
And those others… were… behind her… yes, directly behind her.
“General’s Sword…”
Two powerful sword flashes appeared at the exact same moment—from Chris and Liu.
The woman turned defensively, shocked…
She hadn’t expected such a scene…
A group of men emerging from behind her…
No—how…
In her final moment, she understood…
They had used the wolves’ corpses and their followers as cover, hiding beneath them, then ambushing her from behind.
Night Arrow.
Shadow Blade.
From the front—before the wolf king—Tory and Porto stepped out and launched their attacks.

A swift arrow and a powerful blade.
As for Noa—he was the one who executed this trick.
Boban was Noa’s assistant, the one who handled all the physical labor.
And finally, Ian—the one who conceived the idea and executed it brilliantly.
“Nooooooooooo!” the woman screamed, but it was too late.
The attack was strong and decisive…
Leaving no room for mistakes…
Ian knew that the price of a mistake here was the death of everyone…
He himself would not die—his true body wasn’t in this world, only his consciousness. For humans, this was a game… but he understood his soul was here, and his real body was elsewhere, so he wouldn’t truly die. However… death for him meant losing his position as a Lord and becoming a wanderer…He would have to wander the world with no power to support him.
Boom—
A powerful explosion thundered.
**You have killed a Wolf King. Congratulations, you have obtained a Special Weapon!**
Ian heard the voice and smiled, but his expression darkened when he saw the camp leader still alive.
“So you’re the one behind all of this?”
The woman’s expression was cold, her eyes burning with fury.
Her armor was torn in several places, blood flowing from her entire body, yet her expression showed no pain… only pure rage.
“I’ll tear you apart,” she said icily.
“Kill her,” Ian ordered.
Night Arrow…
General’s Sword.
General’s Sword.
Shadow Blade.
The attacks launched toward her again.
“Lightning Cobra!” she commanded, and the lightning around her transformed into a silver cobra that shot toward the group.
Boooooooom—
The surrounding scene tore apart, and the four fighters were blasted backward.
Ian was shocked.
What level of strength was this…? Was she really at the second level? Damn their luck. I have to help
On Ian’s back—an entire bundle of arrows…
Ian drew and fired—
“You’re weak.”
The lightning bolts stopped Ian’s attacks with absurd ease.
His arrows didn’t reach her at all.
Meanwhile, Chris and the others frowned, becoming cautious…
Their opponent was no ordinary woman but a powerful Second-Level mage…
And not even an ordinary mage… but a battle-mage.
“Who are you?” Chris said coldly. “Someone like you wouldn’t be a mere bandit.”
“Tsk… A little ant dares question this queen,” the leader scoffed. “You’ll find out once you get to hell.”
“Don’t stop attacking… she’s at the end of her rope,” Ian said firmly.
Immediately, everyone obeyed.
The attacks launched once more, and a fierce battle began—but the outcome stalled right here.
Ian frowned.
He knew this woman was a strong variable… but not to this extent…
She would kill them all, and then everything would end for him.
Ian would never give up being a Lord—especially at the legendary level. The benefits and expected future were enormous… and more importantly, because of what he had learned…
The dangerous secret about the destruction of Earth…
How could he secure a foothold in this world after losing his Lord status?
What nonsense was this!!!
Ian’s expression hardened. He gripped the bow and made a different decision…
“Moment of Glory. “At the very moment he activated his skill, something astonishing happened…
A tremendous force erupted from the arrows, shattering bow and arrow into pieces, while the arrow itself transformed into a beam of light that shot like lightning toward the woman…
This!!!!
This skill…
Impossible… one of the Seven…
It’s him… it’s him… but…
There were dozens of thoughts racing through the camp leader’s mind, overwhelming her to the point where she couldn’t use her skills or channel her power…
The arrow pierced her heart and killed her.
**You have killed someone above your level… You have earned the title: Weakness Legend.**
Weakness Legend:
Effect: When fighting an enemy stronger than you, their suppression has no effect on you.
The title seemed simple, but from his knowledge, Ian understood its significance and smiled after a deep sigh…
“We did it,” Boban said, looking at Ian with awe.
Courage… humility… wisdom… now there was another trait… strength.
Even Noa and the others were stunned…
They hadn’t expected this level of power from Ian.
“We’ve won,” Liu exhaled and fell to the ground.
The battle had already placed immense pressure on him.
“Let’s gather the loot,” Ian said.
A common Genesis Stone.
423 swords
35 bows
12 axes
(Only 30 were at the normal level; the rest were common.)
As for money, there was a large amount:
3012 bronze coins
257 silver coins
No gold coins.
A collection of meat and water vials.
And finally, the two most important things:
The Wolf King’s loot.
The camp leader’s loot.
A rare sword.
A set of rare armor.
Additionally:
Profession Stone.
Warrior Mage (Ancient).
Lightning Element.
Limit of change: 1
Ian smiled and looked at the Wolf King’s loot.
There was a pile of coins, two Normal weapons, and finally the two most important items… the special weapon mentioned in the world message, and a red seed resembling blood.
The weapon was a small banner.
Formation Banner.
Special Attributes: Combine the strength of ten people into one man and unleash a powerful attack.
Beastly Blood Seed.
Give it to another monster to enhance its lineage and power.
Warning: Only works on monsters… and must have a strong lineage to withstand the aura of the Beast King.
“Awesooooome!” Ian shouted.
