(From MC's Perspective)
Mr. Jonathan made up his mind to confront the bandit boss, Soren. Before doing that, he waited for Zack to finish his fight. Right now, Zack is fighting against the new team of bandits.
Time Progresses,
CLANG
As time went on, Zack began to overwhelm others. Soon he eliminated the weakest link of them all. followed by the next strongest warriors.
One by one, he begins to eliminate others, finally gaining victory by defeating the leader, a Mid-Trainee Warrior.
When he finished collecting their heads and loot, he saw another figure appear in front of me.
"Mr. Jonathan!" I exclaimed in surprise.
I never expected him to appear in front of me all of a sudden. I saw him sizing me up from top to bottom.
Mr. Jonathan said, "Zack, I'm totally impressed by your performance." In particular, your survival skills are top notch; I have updated the report about your improvement back to master. I'm sure he is very much pleased with you. "
Finally, I let go of my hanging heart.
Hearing his appreciation, it swept away all of my worries. I don't need to be wary about my actions any more.
But his next words completely stunned me.
"Well, I want you to end your training session right now and go back to the Red Stone City," Mr. Jonathan stated in a solemn tone.
On the other hand, I felt I heard something wrong. I blurted out words in confusion, "Come again,"
Hearing that, a small smile rose on Mr. Jonathan's face. Then he said, without hiding anything, "Zack, I'm going to take action against the bandit boss. I have already got clearance for this. So this place won't be safe anymore."
He added, "I want you to leave the city. In this way, I can focus on dealing with the aftermath without worrying about you anymore. "
It took me some time to digest his words. I knew there was going to be a clash between the bandit boss and the city lord. But I hadn't expected such a day to come sooner.
A hint of appreciation rose in my heart after hearing his words. I guess he didn't plan it earlier. It's because of me that he came to know about Iron Post City.
Recalling the past events, my expression turned a bit solemn. Then I said, "Mr. Jonathan, I have to say, it's very kind of you to lend your helping hands to others."
Hearing that, Mr. Jonathan simply shakes his head in denial. Then he asked, "So, what's your decision?"
I looked at him before pondering for a moment. Summarizing my experience in this insect forest, it's very gratifying. I used a very calculative approach to deal with danger.
Thanks to perception, which has saved my life a number of times.
Right now, under Peak Trainee Warrior, I can beat everyone. When it comes to Peak Trainee Warrior, it's impossible for me to contend against them at my current level.
After calculating all those things, I made my decision. Unless I get an immediate breakthrough, my experience won't change that much.
So it's better to listen to him and leave this place now. Later, I'll ask him about monster zones for further training.
Then, looking at Mr. Jonathan, I replied, "Well, I'm ready to leave this place now."
Mr. Jonathan nodded and said, "You've got plenty of time on your hands. As long as you get a breakthrough before the competition, it's fine. So, don't rush yourself now. "
In response, I simply nodded.
Next Second,
WHIZZZ
I felt my head spinning for a moment. Due to dizziness, I lost track of time and direction. A few minutes later, my feet landed on the ground near the exit of the insect forest.
It took me some seconds to stabilise my body. Then I looked around to find Mr. Jonathan. But he is nowhere to be seen. I realised he must have gone after dropping me.
"What a terrible flight ability!" A gleam flashes in my eyes. This shows just a fraction of his terrible power. Earlier, I was somewhat worried about the situation. In particular, the bandit boss is a person who had previously injured the city lord.
But after knowing the means of Mr. Jonathan, my worries were swept away.
So it will be a matter of time before the good news reaches everyone.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
I need to collect the rewards before leaving the city. "The City Lord Mansion, here I come," I muttered to myself.
Then my eyes focused on the narrow path that leads to the exit. Without further ado, I walked down the path.
Alternatively,
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG.
"Damn it!"
"How come there are so many trainee warriors in this little area?" Morgan Buck screamed out loud.
After coming across the first wave of the bandits, the igneous earth team effortlessly gained their victory.
Yet they soon came across another team of bandits. After a long and fierce fight, the igneous earth team emerged victorious.
But as time goes on, they begin to encounter the bandit teams very frequently. It was at this moment that the leader, Morgan Buck, felt something was wrong.
He knew the health condition of his team. The injuries begin to worsen due to the continuous fight. Even for small injuries, it takes some time to recover.
Morgan made a hasty decision to enter the inner area now that he was aware.It feels good as long as they win.
But it can't be the same in the future. Who knows? If his team comes across two bandit groups at the same time, It will be horrifying.
After understanding the seriousness of this situation, Morgan made the decision to retreat.
Soon, the igneous earth team retreated back to the safe place. After finding some sort of resting spot, they all begin to recuperate.
Morgan Buck tried to contact his friend Caleb. In the inner areas, it's difficult to establish good connections. After trying it out many times, Morgan gave up and chose to hatch his plan.
He decided to keep an eye on things from the outskirts. It will give them ample time to prepare for the next fight.
BUZZ
When everyone was recuperating under the shade tree, the sudden buzzing sound alarmed everyone.
When Morgan got up from the ground, he had a bad premonition about this. Even if it's a normal poisonous bug, in their situation it could become even more deadly.
They have yet to recover from their injuries. Injection of slight venom at this point may lead to their death.
Then Morgan quickly thought of something. He takes out the bug repellent power from his storage ring. He hoped that whatever was coming would be repelled by this powder.
Morgan then begins to spread bug repellent power around them. While they were doing it, the buzzing sound continued to increase.
Morgan knew it would be a matter of time before the swarm of bugs reached here. His teammates' expressions become pale with fright.
Soon the dark black clouds will fly above them. Morgan's pupil constricts before his expression turns into complete horror.
"Carnivore bugs," his team members exclaimed in horror.
For a moment, Morgan's mind went blank.
He had heard about the bugs. But this is the first time he has come across such a deadly bug.
The black clouds didn't go past them. Instead, the clouds came to a complete halt. Seeing that, Morgan began to lose strength in his leg.
His senses screamed at him to run away from this place as soon as possible. Morgan knew he couldn't waste time any more.
So he used the last ounce of his strength to scream at his team members, "Quickly, follow me!" His teammates broke up from fear and immediately chose to run behind him.
At the same time, watch the movements of prey. The black clouds are beginning to act. The swarm of carnivore bugs quickly arrived at the first warrior at a breakneck speed.
The warrior was immediately swallowed by the sea of carnivore bugs. This scene caused terror to other ignoble team members. They quickly increase their speed to escape. None of them want to look back at the situation of fallen team members.
Other team members who knew enough about carnivore bugs knew their teammates had no chance of survival.
Morgan Buck is quickly dashing towards the narrow path. He is literally fleeing for his life. which he almost forgot that his teammates were behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the first warrior was reduced to bones. The black clouds of bugs quickly chase after the next target.
AAAHHHH
An agonising scream resonated throughout the area. His scream sent chills down everyone's spine.
Morgan Buck cursed at his bad luck. First it was a continuous wave of bandits. Now, it's clouds of carnivorous bugs.
At this moment, his eyes caught on a safe spot. In Front of him, there is a shade tree, which has a wide hollow space in its trunk.
Seeing that, Morgan's eyes gleamed with surprise. "Finally, there is some hope," he mumbled under his breath.
Then, without thinking further, he quickly dashed toward the tree. After arriving at the tree, he hid in the hollowed space to escape from the swarm of carnivore bugs.
