Mission [2]
"This is as far as you go dog of the kingdom! Although you may have caught us off guard that means nothing! Now you will pay for the deaths you have caused!" The guard yelled at Eredeti. However Eredeti didn't reply and just smiled at the man with a hint of orange shining in his eyes. As Eredeti took a more defensive stance and prepared for the advance of these 5 weaklings as he glanced at them like a lion staring down it's pray. When the guards saw Eredeti's intimadating aura they hesitated a little before the one leading them yelled "Don't be scared! It's 5 against one even if he is stronger, we can still over power him with numbers! Don't let our comrades death be for nothing!"
Hearing the shout of their comrade the rest of the guards prepared for the worst outcome imaginable and steeled their nerves. As all of them stared down Eredeti and started running at him in a tight formation as they all yelled at the tops of their lungs radiating with confidence and spur. As Eredeti watched this he could only scoff as they all charged at him, Eredeti thought 'This will be fun!' As he used leap and quickly slashed at the neck of the leading figure in their group instantly decapitating him. However the guards didn't hesitate as they all raised their swords to slash at Eredeti who in turn leaped away not missing this chance Eredeti used shield bash as he felt the mana in his arms gather as he rushed towards the closest one.
When Eredeti neared, the guard to his left slashed at Eredeti, Eredeti on the other hand wasn't worried about the attack as he knew the guard couldn't injure him much as he turned to the guard he bashed with the shield and came to a sudden halt, at the same time the sword made contact with the side of his chest. Once Eredeti stopped the guard had his chest caved in instantly breaking a few of his ribs making a few pierce his lungs making him cough up blood as he was sent flying. The instant he went flying the other 3 who were right behind the guard and were ready to strike at Eredeti until their comrade came crashing into them like a bowling ball as all of them crashed to the ground. Not missing this opening Eredeti rushed to the 3 of them who were struggling to stand up and get their fallen comrade off of them, however they were too late as Eredeti arrived and quickly slashed at all of their necks turning them all into blood bags, putting all of them to rest. Once Eredeti saw their souls leave their bodies he was slightly stunned by some of their souls as they had a slight black color to it similar to the demons soul however not as dark and thick that looked similar to a tar like substance.
Eredeti put this into the back of his mind as he had a mission to complete right now, once he absorbed all of their souls he stared at the bodies and wondered. 'Can I gain stats again? even if it feels wrong as long as I can get stronger it doesn't matter!' Eredeti resolved himself to try it just one more time. Eredeti walked to one of the corpses and took out his dagger and cut a small piece off and took a bite however he didn't hear a prompt appear this time so just incase he took another bite, as if on queue he heard a familiar sound.
*ding

-----------------------------------------
Eredeti looked at this new prompt with satisfaction but also wondered 'Does the amount I need increase each time I eat flesh?' Eredeti didn't ponder on this too long as he guessed that was the most accurate assumption as he walked into the small shack of a building. Once he walked in he didn't see anything except 2 tables that had some unfinished food and drinks on it as he looked around further and found a door that was locked. Eredeti looked at the door with a vicious grin as he thought 'found it!' he then took out his sword and activated wraith weapons as his sword glowed with an green hue with an hint of orange at the end. Eredeti slashed at the door slicing it in two as the top half slowly slid down and fell however Eredeti sensed something as he quickly jerked his head to the left dodging a bolt that came from the darkness of the stairs.
Once Eredeti's eyes adjusted to the darkness he saw a crossbow with a string attached to the end of it looking at it Eredeti smirked slightly nearly about to burst out into laughter because such a simple trick put him on edge. However before he let his guard down he looked at the crossbow once more and realized the bolt was still cocked back and hadn't been shot out yet which made him immediately go on guard once more. Eredeti thought it was strange how he saw no one there yet he clearly felt someone shoot that bolt at him making him be on edge. As Eredeti stared down the stairs he could only reluctantly enter it while being on guard walking very slowly increasing the amount of time it would take to clear the mission making him slightly agitated.
When Eredeti arrived at the bottom of the stairs he was welcomed with a hallway leading to the left and right making Eredeti heave a aggravated sigh making him mutter under his breath "Dammit". Eredeti reluctantly chose to go to the left however when he turned he had to quickly dodged another arrow heading his way as he looked at the direction with aggravation as he saw a cloaked figure quickly disappearing into the shadows. 'Dammit a magic user! the paper didn't say their would be someone who could use magic!' Eredeti thought. However Eredeti couldn't stop now so he instead reluctantly continued moving forward while keeping his guard up wary of the attacks of the shadow user.
While he was slowly making his way over to a couple of rooms he slowly opened all of them one by one to see all of them empty with bunks. However as the hallway slowly got bigger and revealed an open area making Eredeti's mood lighten slightly however what he didn't expect was that it was barricaded with tables and boxes as a man suddenly shouted "Fire!". The instant Eredeti heard those words his face turned solemn as a barrage of arrows headed his way as he thought 'I wish I took that damn crossbow' as Eredeti proceeded to hug the wall making sure none of the arrows hit him however a few scratched him barely doing any damage. Taking the lapse of time for the bandits having to reload Eredeti slashed his blade filled with his mana making a crescent shape shoot out and exploding on impact with the makeshift barricade. The instant it exploded it made the bandits fall down in recoil however the explosion wasn't their main issue because Eredeti's mana looked like a dark tar substance that was like a hazy shadow that started to erode everything it touched as it let out weird sounds filled with whispers.
Unfortunately a few of the bandits were unlucky enough to get covered in this weird substance as it started to corrode their bodies however the damage to their bodies was the least of their troubles as they felt an excruciating pain from originating from their wound as it spread to their chest as they slowly started to feel something wrong as if they were starting to feel a sense of dread and pain as if their souls were telling them to run as all of them started to cry out in pain. Eredeti looked at this scene with shock as he heard the ding sound once more
-------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------
As Eredeti looked at the notification with satisfaction as he turned towards the guards with a smile on his face and glowing orange eyes making the ones left shiver. When Eredeti looked at the remaining numbers he was once again shocked at the inaccuracy of the information as their were at least 15 of them left not counting those that have already left the mortal realm as their souls floated in the air. Eredeti was a little disappointed but didn't bother about it for now as he leaped towards the barricade at the still shocked bandits, when they saw him advance they all quickly readied themselves. Once Eredeti reached them he instantly observed all of them and saw that only 3 of them were on the intermediate level and would provide some what of a problem while the rest were on the low rank level however he was still worried about the man in the black coat as he didn't see him among the crowd. After dealing with all the weaklings of the group he stared down the 3 remaining bandits who could put up some what of a fight making him smirk in excitement. As Eredeti thought to himself 'Oh this will be good!'
