“Huh? I feel like I’ve seen that elf brat somewhere. . .”
“Boss, it’s that kid who was with the one-armed, one-legged adventurer we killed a few years ago.
The one who disappointed us by turning out to be a boy.”
“Oh yeah, I remember that guy.”
“Eh?! That child is a boy?!”
“What happened to your discerning eye, handsome?”
“《Wind Cutter》!”
“Oh oh.”

As the fools casually converse in front of their enemy, an angry Leif attacks with his wind magic.
But it’s effortlessly dispersed by the sword of the man who seems to be the bandits’ leader.
The bandit is apparently stronger than an orc.
I want to appraise him, but he’s a bit too far away.
ㅤ
“Hey, brat. It’s a shame to greet each other this way after so long. Why don’t we get along just like old times?”
“Get along, you say. . .”
“That’s right. We enjoyed delicious drinks with the money we got from selling you. A true taste of friendship. Here’s a toast to our friendship.”
“Pfft! Boss, you’re terrible!”
“Yo! A true example of a bandit!”
“Gyahahaha! Don’t flatter me like that!”
ㅤ
Ugh.
They’re worse than I thought.
ㅤ
“Don’t mess with me! 《Tornado》!”
“Haha! You’re so weak!”
ㅤ
Leif fires a tornado-like magic at those bandits.
But it gets deflected by the sword again.
He is quite strong indeed.
ㅤ
“But seriously, I’m glad to see you again. After all, you sold for a good price last time.
And now, you’re with a woman.
Was the guy you were with last time your father? He was just trash that we got nothing from even after killing him.
So, I have high expectations this time.”
“Don’t mess with meee!”
ㅤ
Leif is frantically firing magic.
As he does so, the bandit boss laughs and blocks his magic.
The lowly bandits and the flashy guy are watching and laughing vulgarly.
ㅤ
Ah, how ugly.
ㅤ
Everyone other than Leif is disgustingly ugly.
Just like the guys who used to bully me.
I see the bandits’ sneering faces overlapping with theirs.
The kind of people I hate the most in this world.
Just looking at them makes me uncomfortable, displeased, and sick.
I need to exterminate them quickly.
ㅤ
“Haa. . .Haa. . .!”
“What’s wrong? Are you done already? Show me your guts if you’re a man. Well, I guess there’s not much you can do with that face! Gyahahaha!”
“Damn it. . .!”
ㅤ
Leif is staggering due to his depleted MP.
It’s more due to overuse of magic than running out of MP.
That can be quite exhausting.
Still, Leif refuses to lower the staff he is holding.
ㅤ
So, I placed my hand on Leif’s shoulder.
ㅤ
“Master. . .”
“Tagging out.”
ㅤ
I hide the exhausted Leif behind Automata.
Then, I have Automata hold up its sword.
ㅤ
“Oh, are you next? I don’t want to hurt a valuable woman. If you surrender while crying, I might go easy on you.”
“Hey, Aaron, don’t let your guard down. That girl is pretty strong.”
“Hah! She’s just a woman, right? She can’t beat me. If you’re going to apologize, do it now, sis.”
ㅤ
Ah, it’s noisy.
The garbage is babbling.
ㅤ
“Stop barking, it’s unsightly. Just attack me, will you?”
“. . .Unsightly, you say? Well said. Then, I won’t hold back!”
ㅤ
Taking the bait from such a cheap provocation, the boss charges in alone.
Well, it was more my honest opinion than a provocation.
But still, he’s so stupid.
He’s even dumber(muscle brain) than the Demon Lord’s Army.
ㅤ
“It’s too late to apologize now! I’ll play with you until you cry!”
ㅤ
With the bandit leader’s thuggish words, he swung his sword at the Automata.
It was a strike of decent speed and power.
Thanks to having entered the pseudo-dungeon region, his average stats that successfully appraised were roughly 2000.
He had strength comparable to that cat woman.
ㅤ
However, his sword didn’t reach the Automata.
ㅤ
That’s because, a monster draped in a black cloak that I had summoned before entering the pseudo-dungeon region, intercepted the attack with a menacingly large axe it held.
ㅤ
“Wha-what is this?!”
ㅤ
Surprised by the sudden appearance of the monster, the bandit leader kept swinging his sword at it without stopping.
But his attacks didn’t work at all.
The status difference was simply too great.
This monster, a the goblin zombie that had released its true equipment, was not a match for a mere bandit.
ㅤ
Then, I gave an order to the goblin zombie.
To hurt him, but not to kill.
ㅤ
“Gyaaaaaaaaa?!”
ㅤ
The axe swung by the goblin zombie effortlessly chopped off the bandit leader’s limbs and severely injured his left half.
Next, by stomping, it crushed the remaining limbs.
The bandit leader disgracefully wet himself.
ㅤ
“A-aahhh. . .!”
ㅤ
Then, with a feeble voice, he groaned and tried to crawl away with his broken limbs.
Like a dirty worm, it was utterly disgusting.
ㅤ
“B, Boss. . .?”
“The boss got taken out?!”
“R, Run!”
ㅤ
Seeing their leader effortlessly defeated, the remaining bandits ran away in all directions.
So they would abandon their comrades this easily.
Typical bandits.
Trash through and through.
ㅤ
But, I won’t let them escape.
I’ll kill them all.
ㅤ
“Raise the walls.”
“《Firewall》.”
ㅤ
the goblin zombie, following my instructions, used magic to create walls of flame around us, trapping the bandits.
The bandits panicked greatly.
Not missing this opportunity, I summoned more monsters from the dungeon.
ㅤ
What I summoned were several Black Iron Golems and the immortal zombie.
With these opponents, this level of force should be sufficient.
Everyone besides the bandit leader seemed like small fry.
ㅤ
“Eh?!”
ㅤ
Then, for some reason, Leif looked surprised when he saw the immortal zombie.
Could it be. . .
ㅤ
“Do you know him?”
“Y, Yes. He was my previous master.”
ㅤ
Ah, I see.
The former master that Leif was often cursing was the immortal zombie.
Thinking about it, Leif was a slave bought in the city of Bordeaux, and this guy was an adventurer of the city of Bordeaux.
It’s not surprising that they have a connection.
Also, the immortal zombie, in his former life, was a scum worse than the bandits.
Leif’s been having a tough time.
ㅤ
Well, right now, we’re dealing with bandits.
I issued orders to the zombies and golems.
To bring all the bandits, alive, in front of the Automata.
Obeying that order, the monsters moved.
And I told Leif this.
ㅤ
“Don’t worry about it. That’s just a zombie.”
“Y, Yes.”
ㅤ
We wait a little, the bandits, who had their limbs crushed and freedom taken away, were brought by the monsters.
Including the flashy guy, all of them looked at the monsters with terror-stricken eyes.
ㅤ
As I surveyed such trash, a good idea came to mind.
ㅤ
“Leif. If you want revenge, you can kill them.”
“. . .Eh?”
ㅤ
I decided to give Leif the right to kill them.
