Bandits?

After teaching Alice how to move using her dagger mastery, Vance and his party began to slaughter Grey Wolves in order to collect their fangs for proof of completion. As they killed the Grey Wolves, they heard a rustle coming from the bushes nearby. Suddenly, ten men jumped from the bushes and surrounded them.

"Hey there, you weak bastard. Hand over your money and your women and we'll let you live."

After hearing the seeming leader of the bandits say that, Vance, Celine, and Alice looked at him with a gaze that said: "You are stupid."

"Trust me, you aren't that guy pal, you just aren't. But, my Master, he absolutely is." Said Celine.

"Yeah you guys seem like you're a lot weaker than Mr. Vance."

Celine and Alice both admonished the bandits for believing that they were stronger than Vance.

"Eh? You two girlies better stop talking. Our boss here is stronger than a C Rank adventurer so I suggest you do as he says before your little boyfriend here gets hurt."

"So you guys insist on robbing me and taking my girls eh?"

"Damn right we do kid! So hand over all of your money now or things are gonna get physical."

Vance sighed and a devilish smirk slowly appeared on his face.

"So be it."

Suddenly he sprung into action. He threw out throwing knives in the leg of three of the bandits as he sprinted at the closest one. Upon reaching him Vance punched him in his face thus knocking loose a few of the mans teeth and sending him flying. Vance then created stone lances, flaming spears, and wind blades using Magic God and sent them at three more of the bandits severing their limbs and impaling them. With only three bandits left standing including the boss, Vance manipulated the ground to restrain them with hands of earth. As the three struggled to free themselves Vance slowly walked over to them. While to Celine and Alice he seemed to be a handsome man walking head first into danger to protect them, to the bandits he seemed to be the devil himself surrounded by an aura of blood.

"Hmm. The girls did tell you you didn't stand a chance right?"

"PLEASE! DON'T KILL US!!!"

"Eh? But you guys don't have any worth to me. Even if you have bounties I can just take your heads right?"

"Please! Please! Have mercy on our souls. We can give you information! We can tell you where the main base is! We're just a small division. Pleeaassee!"

"Main base, huh? Yeah sure. I'll think about letting you live if you tell me where exactly this main base is."

Hearing that they had a shot at survival the bandits immediately told Vance where he could find their groups main base of operation. After they told him Vance considered whether or not to let the bandits go.

"Celine. Alice. Should I let these bastards live?"

"Master I believe that the reward is bigger for turning in bandits alive. However I am willing to follow whatever it is you desire."

"I agree with Celine, Mr. Vance there is no need for you to dirty your own hands with this filth. The guards will interrogate and deal with them once you turn them in."

Following the advice of the girls Vance quickly dragged the bandits back to town and received 10 silver coins as a reward. After receiving the reward Vance and his party headed toward the main base of the bandits.
