Chapter 29: Mountain Fiends

'Frost arrows'

'Fireblast'

.

.

After receiving the orders from their vice lord, all the mountain bandits rushed towards Leo.

"You are very eager to die."

Leo revealed a cold smile on his face as he looked at the hundred mountain bandits rushing towards him.

'Teleportation'

With a single thought, Leo disappeared from his place.

"Huh? Where did he go?"

Leo's sudden teleportation surprised all the mountain bandits as they hurriedly looked for Leo.

"Are you looking for me?"

Leo's cold voice came from the center of the rushing mountain bandits as he continued speaking, "Since you are very eager to die, I will not waste your time."

'Combustion'

After finishing those words, he activated his destructive talent to burn them into ashes.

'Aargh'

'Save me.'

'Please, someone help me.'

The cries and groans of the mountain bandits resounded in the entire bandit mountain.

It only took a few moments before all the mountain bandits fell to the ground with their half-burned bodies.

The mountain bandits trying to dig the ground to help the mountain bandit buried alive were also no exception as they burnt alive.

"Who…are you exactly."

Finally, the vice lord of the mountain bandits had a shocked look on his face when he looked at Leo.

"Who am I? I am Leo."

Leo slowly walked towards the vice lord of the mountain bandits as he introduced himself with an emotionless look in his eyes.

'He is more powerful than me. I need to inform the lord about him.'

Even though the vice lord was a rank 6 hero, looking at Leo, he didn't have the confidence to fight against him.

'Smoke screen'

After witnessing the display of 'Teleportation', 'Combustion' and 'Earth manipulation', the vice lord didn't hesitate and used his talent to run away.

The entire place was surrounded by black smoke as the vice lord had already rushed towards the leader of the Mountain bandits.

"Brother Leo, that rank 6 bandit, he was escaping."

Julia was very far from the smokescreen. So, she was able to see the running away Vice lord in the distance and hurriedly informed Leo.

"Don't worry. He is not going anywhere; instead, he will be leading us to the treasure these mountain bandits had accumulated over the years."

This was Leo's true goal because he knew that as long as he got his hands on the treasures, these mountain bandits were hiding, buying a few things in the premium auction won't be a problem for him anymore.

'However, from the looks of it, they must have accumulated so much more than I initially guessed.'

Leo revealed a cold smile as he started walking towards the mountain top along with Julia and the injured griffin followed them silently.

After witnessing Leo's strength, there was a spark in its eyes; however, at the same time, its eyes were filled with despair.

As for what it was thinking, no one other than the griffin itself knows about it.

"Brother Leo, shall I place the mission paper on the ground to collect the information?"

Suddenly, Julia thought about the enchanted mission paper because they needed to show the data of the mountain bandits they killed to receive the rewards for the mission.

"Don't bother about it. It will do no good if we collect the data as the mission hall was never intended to pay us for this mission."

Leo shook his head and asked her not to record the data of the mountain bandits.

"What…"

"Let's catch the leader of the mountain bandits and let's find out the real truth behind this mission."

Before Julia could ask him a question, Leo shared his thoughts with her before resuming his walk to the top of the mountain.

'I wonder where went wrong in this mission.'

Leo sensed s a conspiracy behind this mission and wanted to learn more about it.

...

On the mountain top,

"Lord…lord…emergency. A young man killed all our mountain bandits in a single attack."

The vice lord rushed to a cave, kneeled in front of it, and shouted as loudly as possible.

"Huh? Who dares to do that?"

Soon, a muscular old man in beast clothing walked out of the cave with a furious look.

"He is a monster in human clothing. Not only he has three talents and all of them were either rare or powerful."

The vice lord informed everything he had witnessed at the mountain base to the old man in beast clothing.

"It's been a while since I saw someone with three talents. Good…good."

The leader of the mountain bandits was no longer furious or sad at the death of his followers; instead, he was happy to find someone with three talents.

"If my guess is right, he might be coming here anytime soon. Why don't you sit aside and watch a good show."

The leader of the mountain bandits knew that even though his vice leader was a rank 6 hero, he was not strong physically; instead, he was clever and quick-witted.

And that's how he was able to become the vice leader of the mountain bandits.

"Yes, leader."

The vice leader nodded his head as he hurriedly rushed to a side and waited to see the good show.

'Even though that young man has three talents, he is no match for the leader.'

He revealed a lot of anticipation on his face as he started guessing how long Leo would last against the leader of the mountain bandits.

"So, you are the one who killed my followers….Haha. You are quite young but so powerful already."

It didn't take much time for Leo to reach the top of the mountain along with Julia. Seeing him, the leader of the mountain bandits asked with a burst of huge laughter.

"So, you are the leader of the mountain bandits. You are quite old but still very weak. I wonder what you are doing all these years without increasing your strength."

Leo countered the leader of the mountain bandits with his usual carefree look.

"Haha…you think it's funny to counter me? You are wrong…It's not funny at all."

The old man's laughter disappeared as his face contorted with anger and shouted, "Mountain fiends, kill those bastards."

'Crr'

'Gurr'

As soon as he finished his words, ten ugly-looking creatures rushed out of the cave, and their target was Leo.

'Huh? Rank 7 mountain fiends?'
