Chapter 37: A Smile That Exudes Betrayal

While Athena and Brittany were raging, Alexandria remained as cold and emotionless as ever with her unreadable expressions.

Blade only thought of the benefits that would come after killing these sinners who most likely defiled many innocent women, and finally Dolion...

Hidden away in the leaves of one of the trees, was the figure of Dolion who observed the figures of these bandits who were drinking and dancing around what seemed to be a campfire. The screams of females coming from the tents would sometimes echo out.

He who observed all this, Dolion, this one had a wide and demonic smirk on his face...

...

In the hour that had gone by, the group had seen things that they had never seen in their whole life. It was things that would leave an ordinary person with mental scars for the rest of their life.

And, even though they had all agreed to observe this large group of bandits for at least a few days, before going in to exterminate them, some members of Blade's group found it hard to resist the temptation of downright going for a mass slaughter even though only a mere hour had just gone by.

To be fair to Athena and Brittany, not many could watch as innocent women are taken to the center of the campfire and then defiled by soo many men. What was even more disgusting, was the fact that these women seemed to have already been defiled before...

'I must admit, these people truly have quite the stamina. To continuously do these actions for days on end...' Blade thought with his eyes closed as he had already reached the limit of what he could watch.

Seeing as those lustful bandits weren't planning to stop their profane actions anytime soon, Blade would go take a sleep on the branch he stood on, while the screams of the women would only work as a reminder of why he should always strive to grow stronger.

But, even though he could somehow be uncaring enough to fall asleep under the ever-present screams of despair, not all the members in his group were as skillful as him. The appearance of a woman with long ink-black hair and a pair of emotionless black eyes, oddly similar to the boy they had previously met, startled the already emotionally unstable duo.

'T-The r-river... T-They're up there, by the waterfall... T-They took mother... please, save mother...!'

The words of the boy drummed in Brittany's mind as she, without hesitation, unsheathed her sword and jumped down from the tree where she was situated.

With no time to even react or prevent this from happening, Athena could only follow this woman who she had grown fond of over the past month, as she, would hope to prevent the death of this woman whose child's voice also drummed in her mind nonstop.

Seeing them suddenly rush toward the entrance to the camp filled with tens of bandits, Dolion's wide grin grew wider and more demonic as he jumped down. He also hurriedly rushed toward the duo who was some meters ahead as the excitement from what he assumed to be an inevitable bloodbath, made it so that the corners of his mouth twisted to accommodate for an even more devilish smirk.

"Well, it seems that I've no choice in the matter," Alexandria uttered in an emotionless tone as she followed the actions of the others. Her figure disappeared as she jumped from the highest branch of the tree she was hidden away in and landed on the ground. Her eyes honed in on the targets as she dashed toward them with the intent to kill.

'Huh!?'

Unlike the others, Blade, who was now about to get comfortable, and fall asleep, was startled by the words spoken by Alexandria, as he shut his eyes open while observing his now empty surroundings. Besides the trees that were always present, the people who were located on the branches in the trees were nowhere to be found, causing Blade to shoot to his feet in alarm.

Calming his mind, Blade properly assessed his surroundings as he was able to discern the four figures running through the bushes down below as they quickly approached the camp filled with bandits.

"Those idiots!!"

Blade shouted in alarm as his face morphed to utter shock and fear. Yes, fear, because he knew of the fact that if his group were to appear in plain sight, only certain death awaited them.

"If they are to die, my chances of getting back to the Heavenly Demon Sect and more importantly, ridding myself of this poison pill, all these things, the chances of it succeeding would decrease immensely," Blade said while clicking his tongue, "We were supposed to observe then sneak into the camp, right after sneaking into the camp of the leader and stealing the Life Stones, we would immediately retreat..!

Dammit!! Fuck!!"

Blade shouted in anger while jumping down from the trees. Landing on the ground, his feet sunk into the ground as he then powerfully blasted off with shocking speeds.

If his team would die now, the chances of him surviving would be extremely low, and even though the chance of him changing the outcome is also low, it is still higher, after all, he had yet to know the limits of his power as a Level 4 Meridian Opening Realm Expert!

Unlike the others, Blade reached a level where he traveled at 30 shocking meters per second, as with a few seconds, he had caught up to them, he then shouted with wrath.

"What the fuck are you people thinking!!"

But, the distance they were traveling had already been made, as mere fractions of seconds after shouting those words, Blade and the others had already appeared in front of a ring of men who danced around a campfire as naked women lay powerlessly on the ground.

This was a scene that worked as a trigger for Brittany, as even though she and the other's sudden appearance had already alarmed the group of bandits, she immediately dashed toward a random man with her sword in hand...

SLICE!!

PUCHI!!!

Well, at least, she intended to dash toward a random bandit and send him to hell, but before even realizing it, her world turned upside down as the last thing she saw, was a smile.

It was a smile that exuded betrayal...

...

The water from the mountain above splashed rhythmically, a sudden moment later, a figure surfaced from the water with long hair reaching to his thin waist. If not for his dong which was left freely hanging, one would mistake him for a female.

Well, that would be until he turned around, as this was when one would be startled by the levels of unattractiveness, one being was capable of exuding. His lips were big and wide and his face was filled with pimples that seemed ready to spurt out pus anytime.

His eyes darted toward the figure outside the pool who stood respectfully while bowing his head, as this figure said.

"Master Zale, The person who the Great Master ordered us to..." But, before this bowing figure could finish, a wide smirk appeared on the rather hideous-looking man name Zale as he said.

"Hehe, okay, I understand. Has she done what was needed of her?" Zale asked while a lustful gaze appeared on his face when thinking of this female who had short black hair and hazel-colored eyes.

"Yes, she has. Two of this boy's companions have been killed by 'her'. The other companion of his though..." The bowing figure muttered as his words shrank softer.

"What?! What is the situation with the other companion.?" Zale asked as an annoyed expression appeared on his face. Once more, he was left angered by the uselessness of his subordinates, if not for his Lord Adrian's orders, he would have long killed these garbage.

"Well, we lost a lot more members than what we previously assumed. It seemed those two were a lot stronger than what we once thought!..." The bowed figure said. Soon, his life would be ended, but this would only be the beginning of Zale's anger, as it would very much turn to fear, but that would be sometime in the future far from now...

...

"ALEXANDRIA!!!!"

Blade shouted in anger as even the previously smiling Dolion needed to halt his movements after seeing the actions of this female member of their group.

She had a wicked smile on her face as both of her blades had blood stains on them. The bodies of Athena and Brittany lifelessly lay on the ground, a result of her unexpected betrayal!

"Why shout soo loud? You'll scare me!" Alexandria berated Blade who stood a few meters away from her.

Along with Dolion next to him who was adorned in a pair of red gauntlets he previously tied to his lower back, they both angrily glared toward Alexandria, who had just made their situation almost impossible to escape from alive...!

The duo who now were surrounded by multiple tens of bandits were in striking distance to Alexandria, but they both knew if they were to make a risky move, death was the only thing coming their way.

Blade...

He has finally seen one of humanity's greatest sins... Betrayal!
