Swish!!!
Evan heard the sound of an incoming arrow and with sheer reflex slashed with his sword in front of him.
Kachh!!
Evan’s sword clashed against an arrow and it was cut in two instantly, Evan quickly looked at Dean and James and saw both of them were fine.
Dean was covered in earth armor so the arrow wasn’t able to pierce through it and James also cut down the arrow using his spear before it can reach him.
“What the hell is going on?” Evan asked while looking around their surroundings.
Just as Evan asked suddenly a light yellow barrier appeared around them.
“Damm! It’s a trap barrier, it must be the work of bandits” George said while taking out the arrow from his shoulder.
“David didn’t I tell you the archery of this bastard is complete trash, look he wasn’t even able to kill those trash hunters who were not aware about us” suddenly Evan and others heard a gruff voice and looked behind them.
Evan saw three men who were smiling like third-rate villains coming towards them. The man who just spoke was two meters tall and his head was completely bald.
The man was holding a light yellow crystal that look strangely similar to the color of the barrier in which they were trapped.
“Whose archery is trash you bald head, all of them are D-rank hunters and I even manage to wound one of them” a short man who was holding a bow rebutted when he heard what the bald man said.
“Hey, David I don’t think we need this bald head who just activates the trap barrier whenever we rob someone. We can do this on our own why don’t we just kick him out from our group” Oliver the short archer said.
“Stop fighting and get back to work” David the leader said in a cold tone and both Oliver and Drew shut their mouth.
Evan looked at the bandits with cold eyes because if he didn’t react on time earlier the arrow would have pierced his head and he is sure that even with his current strength it would have been very difficult for him to survive from that kind of injury, Oliver and drew were D rank while David was D+ rank.
Evan came near the barrier and touched it “ouch” Evan quickly removed his hand from the barrier when he felt an electric shock just after touching the barrier.
“It’s not going to work. We can’t go out before the energy of the trap is exhausted, or they remove it using the controller” Evan heard Dean’s voice who was looking at bandits with grim expressions.
“Quickly, turn back and move towards Oklima city” When Henry saw how Evan and others were trapped in a barrier by bandits he decided to ditch them without hesitation because he knew there is nothing he can do to save them and will die meaninglessly if he did not run away.
Just as the driver start the van to run away, Drew the bald man took out a strange black device and pointed it toward the van.
After pointing the device at the van he clicked the only red button available on the device, and suddenly the barrier that was surrounding the van disappeared and its engine also shut down.
“Do they think we are stupid?” Drew said while looking at van with mocking expressions.
“What happened?” Henry asked in a panicked voice when the engine of the van suddenly shut down and the barrier disappeared.
“The engine is not working” the driver said in panic.
“Oliver bring them here” David said to archer after Drew shut down the barrier of the van.
“You bastard remove this barrier and fight with me head on” George shouted at bandits while holding his shoulder that stopped bleeding after he drank a healing potion.
“Are you stupid we trapped you inside because we wanted to rob without problem, do you think we will remove the barrier just because you asked” Oliver the short archer said with a sneer and went towards the van.
“Don’t worry we will remove the barrier soon after all it uses too much energy to maintain it” Drew said with a sinister smile. When Evan and others saw his smile an ominous feeling bloom in their heart.
“But I don’t think you guys will be able to see us remove this barrier” Drew said while taking out a small bottle that was filled with dark green liquid.
“Poison of swamp python” James said with a dark look when he saw the dark green liquid.
“Oh, you know about this” Drew said in surprise when James recognized the poison “then you should also know what I am going to do”.
“What kind of poison is that?” Dean asked James since he doesn’t know about it.
“The poison of swamp python will turn into gas as soon as it comes into contact with air, if he threw that bottle inside this barrier the air around us will become poisonous and we will die” James said in despair filled voice because there is no way they will survive if the air around them become poisonous.
“They will have to remove the barrier if they want to throw that bottle inside can’t we go out at that moment” George asked when he heard this.
“I don’t think they need to remove this barrier, if my guess is correct anyone can come inside the barrier from outside, but you can’t go outside after entering the barrier” this time Dean answered with a helpless voice.
“Please let us go, we don’t have anything you can check our van” Henry said while pleading when Oliver brought him.
“We already know your van is empty but I don’t think your bank account is also empty. Just transfer two million credits into this bank account and you can go” David said while showing a bank account number.
Henry’s face turn white when he heard this and he said “I am just a normal merchant how can I have two million credits in my bank account”.
“Do you think we are fools just by looking at your van I can tell that you are not an ordinary merchant” David said in a cold voice after hearing Henry.
When Henry heard the cold voice of David a chill run down his spine and he looked at Evan and the other hunters who were still trapped in the barrier.
“Drew kill them” David said when he saw Henry was looking at Evan and the other hunters.
When Drew heard this he smiled sinisterly and looked at Evan and others.
“Wait, I will transfer the money don’t kill them” Henry shouted when he heard what David said because if Evan and the other hunter died there is no way he will be able to safely reach Astrate city.
“Do it fast my patience is limited” David said with an indifferent voice and showed the bank account number to Henry.
“Ahrghh” suddenly David heard the scream of Drew and quickly looked back.
When David looked back he saw one of the hunters who was trapped inside the barrier was looking at him coldly while his sword was plunged into the heart of Drew.
