Crack!
Vivian, who had the blade of her sword plunge into the back of the bandit leader's neck and out of his throat, twisted her wrist and heard the sound of bones cracking.
[Lesser Chaos Transformation].
Blaaak!
An ethereal pale grayish liquid appeared around the body of the bandit leader and Vivian suddenly felt as if she was yanked off the ground.
"What in the world…?"
The bandit leader transformed into something else. And if Vivian were to describe it, it looked like 3-meter-tall alien-humanoid-octupus-like being.
His entire skin was covered in this ethereal pale grayish color and there wasn't a single strand of hair on his body.
His head was like an octopus surrounded with multiple black eyes and yellow irises which gave him a 360˚ vision and each eye could move independently.
His mouth was replaced with long tentacles which he could also control individually. And underneath the tentacles, there was no chin, only a circular mouth with 4 rows of teeth and a very long tongue.
His body was a very skinny and fit genderless frame that had no reproductive organs. Moreover, his torso was abnormally long for his overall body that he was in a slightly slouching posture. But the main reason for the abnormally long torso was to accommodate his 2 thin two-elbowed arms on each side of his ribs and were as long as his body which made them look more like a spider's arms. And when it came to the size of his hands, they were proportionate to his body and featured long and black sharp fingernails.
His legs were as long as his arms but they were thicker and they were also in a semi-squat position. As for his feet, the size was also proportionate for his body and featured long and black toenails.
And lastly, he also had a tail that was as long as his overall body's length or around 3 meters.
Vivian, who was dangling on the back of the 3-meter-tall alien-humanoid-octupus-like being because she was holding onto her sword and its blade was still stuck inside its neck, was still processing what she looking at.
Is this an alien…?
Have I been sent to an alien-magic-medieval world…?
Thud!
One of the female teenagers fell on her butt and pointed.
"D-D-Demon…!"
As Vivian was still processing what she was looking at and also the new information she just heard, the demon bandit leader moved his 3-meter-long tail.
Paaah!
Suuup!
He slapped Vivian away along with her sword.
Thud, thud, thud…!
Vivian crashed to the ground and rolled a couple of times like a rag doll
Wooom!
Robbie, the man in his mid-20s, leaped into the air and was in front of the demon bandit leader's octopus-like head. He twisted his right shoulder as he prepared to launch a skill.
[Power Fist].
CHAAAK!
Before he could land his skill, one of the demon bandit leader's hands stabbed him in mid-air through the stomach.
"ROOOBBBIIIEEE…!!!" the 15-year-old female cried out.
Whooo!
The demon bandit leader flicked his arm to the side, throwing Robbie from his fingers.
Thud, thud, thud…! Thud!
Robbie crashed to the ground and rolled a couple of times before bumping into a tree.
The face of the 15-year-old female turned extremely pale and she rushed over to him.
"ROBBIE…!!!"
Woo-pah!
The demon bandit leader flicked his 3-meter-long tail against the girl, knocking her unconscious.
"Behave, you little whore!" he said with his demonic voice. It still sounded like his voice. However, there was a heavy distortion and it had a slight screeching and guttural sound as if his inhuman mouth structure was trying its best to mimic the human speech patterns.
"HEIDI…!" the woman in her mid-30s said.
"BIG SISTER…!" the 13-year-old female and the 10-year-old boy said.
They were about to rush over the girl.
Whack!
The demon bandit leader whacked his tail to the ground.
"You fucking useless humans! I said behave or I'll eat one of you right now!"
The woman and children stopped moving and cried.
With the demon bandit leader's 360˚ vision, although his main focus was on the woman and children at the moment, his other eyes were also paying attention to the rest of his surrounding.
His four companions who chased over the runaway carriage has yet to return.
His other companion was still fighting with the father.
Robbie was motionless.
And lastly, the Brown Cloak Priestess.
Vivian, who was lying on the ground on her stomach, got up with her sword. Her face was painted in pure horror as she looked at herself.
The demon bandit leader turned his body towards her and the tentacles on his mouth wiggled as he let out a chuckle.
"You can only blame yourself, you stupid whore! I really considered going easy on you! But since you forced me to transform into this form and destroy my clothes, I'm going to take my sweet time torturing you while that pretty face of yours begs and cries before I offer you to my master!"
Vivian lifted her gaze and the expression on her face twisted in a violent manner.
"Y-YOU RUINED MY CLOTHES!!!" she growled.
Her clothes were crumpled and out of place, especially her Brown Cloak and gold necklace, and her whole body, including her hair, was covered plants, leaves and dirt.
Vooom!
She turned into a blur.
[Poison Strike].
Whoo-psssh!
"Gaaahhh…!" The demon bandit leader howled in pain as his left leg was sliced off, causing red-colored blood to gush off from the wound, and a green mist to explode.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
He tried to prevent himself from falling to the ground with his two extra arms but the difference of their Magic Force was too high that he needed all four of his arms.
"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME?!!!" Vivian continued growling.
Whooosh!
She chopped off his head.
[Lesser Chaos Transformation].
Blaaak!
An ethereal pale grayish liquid appeared on the wounds of the demon bandit leader and pulled back his head and left head.
[Lightning Arrow].
Psscht!
Thud!
A 15-inch arrow made out of lightning shot inside his head and he fell to the ground as his whole body stiffened from being electrocuted.
[Lesser Chaos Transformation].
Blaaak!
[Lightning Arrow].
Pssscht!
Just as the electrocution stopped and the demon bandit leader healed his wounds, another arrow made out of lightning was shot to his head.
[Lesser Chaos Transformation].
Blaaak!
[Lightning Arrow].
Pssscht!
The same process happened.
[Lesser Chaos Transformation].
Blaaak!
[Lightning Arrow].
Pssscht!
The same process happened once again.
[Lesser Chaos Transformation].
Blaaak!
[Lightning Arrow].
Pssscht!
The same process happened for the fourth time.
Vivian was about to shoot another [Lightning Arrow] but she didn't noticed the ethereal pale grayish liquid so she waited.
That's it…?
Or is he waiting to run out of mana…?
Chaaaak!
She swung her sword down, splitting the giant octopus-like head in half.
Hmm…
Still no reaction…?
Her gaze focused on the red-colored blood.
That's surprising…
In Vivian's head, given the ethereal pale grayish skin of the demon bandit leader's alien-humanoid-octopus-like form and also the ethereal pale grayish liquid that appears whenever he heals himself, she was expecting him to bleed the same color.
Ba-crack!
The bandit who was fighting the father, swung his club and cracked open the father's skull.
And without missing a beat, he rushed over to Vivian.
"DIE, PRIESTESS WHORE…!!!"
Vooom!
Whooosh!
Vivian turned into a blur and then appeared a few meters away behind the bandit. A thin and red horizontal line began to appear around the bandit's stomach and his upper body started to slide down.
[Lesser Chaos Transformation].
Blaaak!
He transformed into a 3-meter-tall alien-humanoid-octupus-like being.
Vivian turned to around to face him and knitted her brows.
Not this again…
I can't afford to run out of mana…
She let out a sigh.
But at least this one is slower…
Vooom!
Whooosh!
Whooosh!
She appeared in front of the demon bandit and sliced off his legs.
Thud, thud!
"Gyaaah…!!!" The demon bandit used two of his long spider-like arms to prevent himself from falling face-first to the ground while his other two remaining spider-like arms attacked Vivian.
Whooosh!
Whooosh!
"Gyaaaah…!!!"
Vivian easily sliced them off.
Wooom!
She jumped in front of the demon bandit's octopus-like head.
Whooosh!
And delivered a diagonal slash on the head.
Thud.
When she landed to the ground, she noticed that the demon bandit didn't heal his wounds.
Hmm…?
No reaction this time…?
She glanced at the demon bandit leader.
Still no reaction…
Is there perhaps a limit on how many times they can heal…?
She shook her head mentally.
Of course there would be…
If there wasn't…
Then I can only imagine how terrifying these alien-like creature would be…
They would be practically unstoppable and be the rulers…
"Dear…!" a woman's voice cried out.
Vivian immediately turned her head.
The woman was sitting on the ground while holding her dead husband in her arms and crying. Meanwhile, the 13-year-old female and the 10-year-old male were crying beside her.
As for the 15-year-old female, she had already woken up and was beside the man in his mid-20s named Robbie.
"Robbie, wake up…! Please wake up…!"
Robbie was still unconscious and there was a tear at the center of his leather armor with some bloodstains but the wound was already closed.
Vivian noticed the two empty Healing Potions near the 15-year-old female and Robbie.
Oh…
Right…
I forgot about these people…
She then noticed at the corner of her eyes the four bandits who left earlier to chase the runaway carriage running towards them.
There's no changes with their speed…
So they really were slow…
