NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Chapter 3 time travel
Suddenly, he sees a group of bandits while trying to find a river and jumps to the tree to observe them. They have 40 members. Most have melee weapons, but five have range weapons, with four pistols and a rifle. Considering only the rich have guns in this world, these bandits may have robbed a lot of rich merchants or been working for them. He only cares if they want to start a fight. He doesn't mind having a free gun, but looking at their sneaky actions and the direction they are going, he bets they are trying to rob his place.
[Mission: eliminate all bandits]
[reward: 1 randomly selected spell card]
[Failure: 1 random card is lost]
Seeing the system notification, he becomes serious and he throws the two trap cards, Magic Cylinder and Negate Attack, to the ground, hoping it doesn't have any range distance.
He summons the Dark Magician Girl. When she appears, she yawns while rubbing her eyes waking up from her sleep.
"I wonder what is it like in the card," Katsu asked, he was a bit curious about how a monster card feels inside of their card.
"I can't say is bad but it is also not that good. A monster that is not Rush Card will be sleeping without any feeling to the surroundings ready to be summoned if needed while Rush Card is connected to Master so we have our own living space and can appear directly if Master is in danger"
"Please clear out any hidden danger while I fight" he wants to explore more about his cards but seeing the situation is dangerous he can only leave it in his heart.
He took out a spell card Raigeki held in his hand, waiting for them to surround the tent so that not only would the lighting kill the enemies but also alert three of them to wake up.
Seeing the chance, he throws out the spell card. A dark cloud suddenly appears and thunder strikes, turning five people into burning corpses, and waking the group up.
He then jumps out at the one with the rifle, knocking him to the ground and dropping his gun. The ones with the pistol reacted first and fired at him. He picks up the rifle to shoot the bandit that he steps on dead and activates the trap card. During the Negate attack, a wormhole appears in front of him, sucking all the bullets and shooting back a stunning beam, paralyzing the four gunners and causing them to drop their weapons.
A bandit tried to sneak attack Katsu but received an arrow to the head from Sayo and died instantly.
Ieyasu and Tatsumi, holding their swords, rush to battle, splitting any bandit that comes near them in half while Sayo repeatedly fires her bow at them.
When they see a comrade die, they become more ferocious and rush to them without hesitation.Another uses a hand knife to slash him, but Katsu is faster, sending a powerful strike to the throat, dropping his knife and gagging for breath.
Katsu used all of his rounds on him and the four paralyzed people. Throwing the gun, he picks up the hand knife and rushes to the one holding an axe. He panics and throws the axe at Katsu, but he catches the axe in mid-air and throws back the knife, hitting the bandit's eye. Before he even had a chance to scream, he slammed the cheek of the axe into the knife, making the knife go deeper and killing him.
In the chaos, Katsu saw one pick up the dropped handgun and aim at Sayo's head. pulling the knife from the bandit's eye. Katsu throws the axe and knife at the same time, the axe blade traveling fast enough to block the bullet, making it bounce to another bandit's head, earning it a headshot, while the knife plugs into the bandit's hand, dropping the gun. He then rushes to the bandit, pulls out the knife in his hand, and stabs it into his heart.
From the forest, 4 arrows each aimed at different people. He activates another trap card: Magic Cylinder. A giant cylinder floats in the air and sucks all of the arrows. Another cylinder appears to fire back to the bandit hiding in the forest.
Their bodies become paralyzed and receive an arrow. Still, that is not enough to kill them. A dark magician girl floating nearby fires a beam at them, disintegrating them into ash.
Seeing the mission ding, he knows that the bandits are all dead. Even if he didn't kill them all himself, he at least got more than half of them [700 points].
[Obtain a quick spell card Time travel: Activating this card has the following effect:
Travel back in time for a duration of one month to a specific timeline and banish it after use.
If your monster or you are the target of an attack, the opponent's range attack will be completely swallowed by time, and if it is a melee attack, it will make the attack have no effect (quick effect: can be activated like a trap card).
If your opponent uses a skill that affects mental health, it will reflect back to the attacker].
Satisfied with the reward, he picks up the two handguns with all the magazines in his bag, even all the knives, because in the future, he may have some use for them.
"How did the bandit have this kind of weapon" Tatsumi with a weird look in his eyes, said the doubt he had in his heart.
"I did hear some trafficker is working for the nobles so they dress as bandits to steal and capture people" Sayo the most knowledgeable of the three quickly gave out the most likely answer.
"Does bastard if I meet them, I will punch the shit out of them" Ieyasu almost burst out in anger he is disgusted about this kind of people.
Katsu didn't care much about the bandit's origin but was interested in the loot more.
"This world is kill or be killed since they attack us first. Then this is fair loot, so search all the bodies. Your village is in need after all". After cleaning up all the bodies, they are impressed to see almost 10 bags of golden coins. It seems the thieves didn't have trust among them, so they carried their money with them.
He only took 2 bags and the rest he gave to them, considering it thanks for nursing him.
It seems his kindness touches them, so Tatsumi takes out his lucky charm and gives it to him.
Holding the charm suddenly, he receives a notification from the system.
[Detect plot change device: a charm having the hope of Tatsumi village, an item that has no use but is also an item that changes Tatsumi's destiny].
[Can be exchanged for points or a card]
{Wait, if I have this, does that mean I just destroy Tatsumi's plot armor and Akame will kill him?}
Looking at the happy expression of Tatsumi giving his charm now, he thinks he has to be there or Tatsumi will die, but because of him now, Sayo and Ieyasu didn't separate from Tatsumi, so maybe something will change.
After converting the charm into a card, he received a monster card from the system.
Ansatsu (5 stars): 1700 atk, 1200 def.A silent and deadly warrior specializing in assassinations.
Looking at the new card stats, he feels disappointed that this card is weaker than the monster card Vorse Raider, and it has five stats, which he needs a monster to sacrifice.
He didn't see the warning like last time, so he consumed the card. It didn't make him stronger, but it did make him master the Assassin weapons and techniques. Maybe if he meets those bandits again, he can quickly take them out one by one without them even resisting.
