"Kid, you've got guts. You offended me this morning, and you still dare to leave town this afternoon!"
Harry saw that Adrian wasn't running away, so he and his men surrounded Adrian .
Adrian glanced at the several people holding weapons and asked, "Harry, are you going to deal with me?"
"Haha, I'm going to deal with you?" Harry laughed as if he had heard a funny joke, and his subordinates joined in.
"You left town to hunt Slimes, and ended up surrounded by Slimes. Isn't it normal for a non-Professional to be surrounded and killed by Slimes? What does that have to do with me, Harry?"
Hearing Harry's words, Adrian sneered and said, "You were in the wrong this morning. Now you want to kill me?"
Perhaps because Adrian 's expression was too calm, Harry became annoyed and said viciously, "Even in Valkam, others give me some face.
You, a person with no background and no strength, why do you dare to challenge me!
You were lucky this morning; I was tricked by you.
Now that I've caught you, you can't escape even if you had wings!
All of you, go together! I'll break his legs first and make him beg for mercy on his knees.
Then I'll throw him into a pile of Slimes and let him slowly feel his body being Devoured by Slimes, bit by bit!"
After hearing Harry's words, Adrian immediately put Harry on his kill list.
"Well, I was mentally prepared when I came to this other world. Especially after seeing those older brothers die tragically at the hands of Goblins, I understood one thing.
In this other world, human lives might not be worth much.
There won't be the same civilized laws and moral constraints as in my previous life.
If I don't have enough strength to protect myself, I might die in some corner one day.
But I didn't expect to encounter something like this just a few days after arriving!
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Once the battle begins, everyone must be prepared to die!"
Shouting the last sentence in his heart, Adrian reversed his grip on his short sword and instantly rushed in front of Tommy.
Tommy was startled and quickly swung his big saber towards Adrian .
But unexpectedly, Adrian only made a feint.
Before Tommy's big saber could come down, Adrian 's short sword turned and stabbed towards Barke, who was beside him.
"Eh~!"
Barke was so scared that he quickly jumped aside.
"You bastard kid, die for me!" Harry and Burton's attacks arrived almost simultaneously.
Before their blades fell, Harry already felt that the battle was over.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands.
Adrian , caught in the encirclement, even if he could quickly take down one or two people, there were still three more!
Just one cut from each person, and Adrian would be finished.
But what Harry didn't expect was that Adrian seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he simply shifted his body and dodged both his and Burton's attacks.
Adrian didn't even make any large movements!
"Bang!"
Adrian kicked Harry away, then raised his sword to stab Burton!
However, Ford rushed up and blocked Adrian 's attack with his saber.
"Well done, Ford!" Burton quickly thanked him.
Ford grinned, but the next moment he saw Adrian 's mouth also curve into a smile, right in front of him.
A sense of unease Ruth in Ford's heart.
Seeing Adrian raise his left hand, Ford wanted to turn and run, but it was too late!
"[Acid Spray!]"
Adrian raised his left hand, aimed at Ford's face, and sprayed a stream of acid, drenching Ford's face.
"Ah~!"
Ford let out a scream, dropped the big saber in his hand, and put his hands in front of his face, wanting to touch it but not daring to; the intense pain almost made him faint.
But soon, he no longer needed to endure the pain.
Because Adrian 's short sword had slit his throat!
"Ford!"
Burton saw Ford fall, clutching his neck, and quickly slashed at Adrian , but the agile Adrian dodged.
"Thud!"
Ford fell to the ground, his body twitching uncontrollably.
There was a moment of stagnation.
Harry and the others were somewhat disbelieving.
All of this happened almost in an instant.
Their side had already lost one person!
Adrian lowered his body, holding his short sword horizontally in front of him, silent.
"Although it's my first time killing a person, it feels no different from killing a Goblin."
"Bastard!"
Harry saw Ford's throat slit and knew he wouldn't survive.
He roared and charged at Adrian , continuously swinging his big saber.
Harry was, after all, a Level 4 Trainee Warrior who had undergone systematic training, with Basic Swordsmanship to rely on.
Although Adrian had risen to Level 5, his combat skills were basically just the two tricks his father, the inspector, had taught him.
Facing Harry's fierce attacks, Adrian could only struggle to parry.
Harry also had Burton and Tommy assisting him.
Immediately upon contact, Adrian was cut twice on his back.
"[Sweep]!"
Seeing Adrian injured, Harry immediately used his warrior skill!
"Swish!"
The big saber swept past, leaving a blur.
However, Harry's face showed no joy.
Because Adrian seemed to have known Harry was going to use a skill, he had predicted it and dodged in advance.
"Sir, it's Slime acid!"
Barke's voice came, beside him was Ford, who was already a corpse.
Barke had just gone to check Ford's injuries.
When he saw Ford's corroded face, Barke immediately remembered Harry's hand, which had been corroded by Slime acid this afternoon.
"It's Slime acid again!" Harry was so angry his teeth were almost shattered, but his subsequent fighting became much more cautious.
He hadn't seen how Adrian had sprayed the Slime acid this afternoon, and now Adrian had used Slime acid to kill one of his lackeys!
If he got hit, he could very well die!
"Burton, Tommy, Barke, all of you go together. I'll cover your backs!"
Harry didn't want to die, so he told the three to go forward and wear Adrian down.
Hearing Harry's command, the three's expressions changed, but they still stepped forward and surrounded Adrian .
Adrian used this time to catch his breath. When he saw no white soul rising from Ford's corpse, he understood that Spirit Offering only worked on magical beasts.
After exhaling a breath of stale air, Adrian focused his gaze on Barke.
From their skirmish this morning, Adrian knew that Harry was the strongest, followed by Burton and Tommy, and Ford was the weakest!
Ford was already dealt with, next was Barke.
When Adrian looked at Barke, all the hairs on Barke's body stood on end, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Where did Adrian hide the acid? He clearly had no place on his body to hide anything.
The unknown is what causes fear.
No one wanted to suddenly be doused in Slime acid!
Harry saw this and kicked Barke, angrily saying, "What are you afraid of? He's just one person. All three of you attack together and see who he uses the acid on! Go!"
"Argh~!"
Burton gritted his teeth and was the first to attack, with Tommy and the recovered Barke following close behind.
Harry was on the outer circle, looking for an opportunity.
"When you use the acid again, that's when I'll finish you off!"
While Harry was looking for an opportunity, Adrian sneered inwardly.
"Just as I expected, this guy doesn't dare to risk fighting me!"
Harry was originally the strongest one, but now he was circling on the outside due to his fear of being ambushed by Adrian 's acid, greatly reducing Adrian 's burden.
Burton and the others were only Level 3 Trainee Warriors, while Adrian was Level 5!
The two-level difference was already evident in their strength and speed.
Even with three people attacking Adrian simultaneously, Adrian could barely resist.
This surprised Burton and the other two, and they increased the intensity of their attacks.
"Bang!"
Adrian bent down, swept Burton's legs, kicking him down, then used his short sword to parry Tommy's attack, and delivered a heavy punch with his left hand to the opponent's stomach, sending him staggering back several steps.
Seeing this, Harry quickly stepped in to apply pressure.
Unexpectedly, Adrian ignored him completely and rushed towards Barke with his short sword.
"Good opportunity!"
Harry's eyes lit up, he hadn't expected Adrian to completely disregard attacks from behind.
Just as he was about to raise his saber for a [Sweep], four Slimes, half a meter in diameter, suddenly appeared in mid-air.
"Pfft!"
As soon as the Slimes were Summoned, they all sprayed acid towards Harry.
In a hurry, Harry raised his arm to shield his face.
The acid splashed on his arm and scalp, and Harry immediately let out a pig-like shriek.
Barke, facing Adrian alone, was already terrified.
Hearing Harry's scream, his body trembled violently, and his movements revealed a flaw.
Adrian seized the opportunity, stabbed Barke twice in the heart with his short sword, and then immediately turned to face Burton and Tommy, who were stunned in place.
