The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

Chapter 370: Chapter 370 – The First Bandit Base [ Part 2 ]

Inside the bandit’s base.

“Arghh!” Both sides screamed at each other.

“You’re going to pay for all the troubles you have caused onto others!”

“We’re going to bring you to justice!” The soldiers said as they went in to attack.

Meanwhile the Bandits didn’t stop to retort either.

“What crimes? If they’re just waiting defenselessly, then they are asking to get robbed!”

“If the lords and kings can forcefully take whatever lands they want and enact tax upon it, then so can we take others peoples stuff and do whatever we want with them!” And went to attack each other.

A bandit dropped his head down to avoid the slash and thrust his dagger at the soldier’s stomach.

“Kling!”

Yet it stopped just an inch above the cracked ice that formed to protect the soldier’s life.

“Shit!” The bandit exclaimed and tried to back away but the soldier’s sword was already coming at his head, just inches above.

“Slash!”

The soldier saw the bandit’s head split and splatter. Then he turned to his stomach and sighed seeing that he was able to quickly block the fatal attack.

“Whoo, just one more second an- Kagrh!” The soldier couldn’t finish his sentence as another knife, similar to the previous bandit’s pierced through his neck and came out his mouth, ending him.

“Hehe… you should have checked your surroundings before taking a break.” The bandit said and then felt something amiss.

“Hah?… why did everything suddenly go upside down? Wait… is that my body… but where’s my hea- Oh.” The bandit said as his eyes lost their luster.

The soldier that had cut off the second bandit’s head with an air slash didn’t wait and continued to fight other bandits.

Such bizarre and quick anime like fights were going on everywhere inside the base. The soldiers from Whitedon all were equipped with a sigmat ring.

All of those Sigmat Rings weren’t the soldiers own rings. They were given by the Religias family to them.

The rings they have weren’t of high quality. Almost all of them were red colored crystals. There was some yellow too, but they were only given to some Staff Sergeant or Lieutenants.

The current time was that of Sigmat rings and without a ring, soldiers were mostly cannon fodder. The Lords and Ladies knew of this and made sure to equip their soldiers with a ring.

Each ring no matter the rank had a good value to them. That’s why most of the soldiers were equipped with Red sigmat rings and the hierarchy got the better ones.

But the soldiers weren’t the only ones that had sigmat rings. The bandits wore theirs too. Except theirs was either stolen or bought by blood money.

The difference was that, some bandits had better rings then most soldiers and the rings were of their preferred affinity.

So that may seem like disadvantage to the soldiers. But after years of practice with their ring, they were experienced enough to take down these bandits… considering they also had the numbers advantage.

“Hagh!” Calvin sliced off another of the bandit’s head with ease. He raised his spear and swiped it down, spraying the blood and giving the surrounding bandits something to fear.

Yet easily cutting off bandits while sitting didn’t sit well with him.

‘Damn! This people are dying like fucking rodents… nah this isn’t doing it for me.’

He got off his horse and slapped its butt hard and it took command and ran away. Leaving him vulnerable before the bandits that suddenly smiled excitedly at the change.

Yet, among the vicious hyena’s inching slowly towards him, Calvin looked up, his eyes having their own hunger that waved towards the bandits.

The corner of his lips curve, “Let’s have a bite.”

The bandits felt something was off and stood in their place but didn’t freeze. They all conjured their own sigmat attacks. Fire, Ice, Air, Rock, Lightning and Lava, all readying themselves to attack the man ahead.

Calvin’s reply was his own sigmat usage. His body quickly become redder and redder like he was heating up. The red on his body was so deep, the bandits wondered whether he was about to blow up or not.

But Calvin’s answer was to run. He burst towards them with such speed that the bandits couldn’t realize it until he was beside them.

They aimed their attacks on him but Calvin with one clean strike, cut off all of the bandits heads that had surrounded him.

The other bandits who witnessed that scene felt as if Calvin was a harbinger of death and they weren’t wrong to think of so.

For his reputation made him a harbinger and he chose to accept it.

“You… I know you.” One of the bandits, a guy as tall as Calvin with a spear of his own spoke. He walked ahead slowly and looked down at his subordinates while not feeling the fear others had, “You’re Calvin Mongain.”

Calvin smiled, “And you seem like you’re about to give me a good fight, or am I wrong?”

“No no… fighting you, That’ll be stupid of me.” The guy shook his head, confusing Calvin, “You are a harbinger. Those who know you, know that unless they are confidently strong enough to beat you, shouldn’t mess with you.”

“Thank you, I didn’t know people here knew of my acomplishm-”

“You are too stupid and block-headed to do anything else but fight.”

“Oookay… I suppose that could be a compliment.” Calvin lowered his spear, “So I take it you’re giving up?”

“Giving up?” The bandit tilted his head as he smiled, “Why would I do that?”

Calvin felt even more confused and because of his block-headed nature, he didn’t understand much further.

“So you’re praising me, telling me I’m invincible and then you’re saying you will still fight me?” Calvin said, “I know I’m not very, very smart… but that sounds dumb.”

The bandit smiled at that, “Let me explain. First of all, you’re not completely invincible and second I’m not going to fight you.”

Calvin let down his brows as he comprehended no further.

“You see, my craft is something else… it’s not to fight, no.” The bandit’s grip on his spear tightened and he gave a crazy smile, “My craft is of-”

The bandit disappeared mid-sentence like a black mist and appeared right before Calvin, black mist forming his figure and his spear aiming for his heart.

“Kling!”

Surprisingly, Calvin instantly raised his spear and blocked the tip as he was pushed by the sudden force.

The bandit grinned and tried to force his way to his heart but Calvin got his focus back and stood guard, showing who was the strong one here.

“Haha, you’re quite good Calvin. You relied completely on your instinct there to block my attack. Otherwise, you would be good as dead now.”

“Hah! You’re not bad either. By the looks of it, you’re the leader, aren’t you? The one with the shadow sigmat.”

“Yes, I am. It seems you know a bit about u-” The bandit leader got interrupted by the shrill screams of bandits.

Both fighters looked towards the main gate where the screams came from.

They saw bandits who had somehow escaped from the horde of soldiers, rushing back in. Their faces drenched with fear at something they encountered outside.

‘What did they encounter that they’re only escape was here?’
