Chapter 20: The Viper Bandits Headquarters

"How's that mister doing so far?" Chrono came inside the room, disturbing Nisha who spectated on the progress of Zeke.

"It's impressive. He's been handed the worst cards since he arrived at that continent yet, he's only getting stronger. As if his strength grows in proportion to the danger." Nisha replied.

"Well, he did get the best score on [Trial Island] so that much is expected." Sinclair came inside shortly after.

The three deities have just finished meeting with the minor deities. There are, after all, a lot of heroes deployed on various worlds. Reports were made such as, which human could be a potential candidate, what new world should be created, and other things.

Right now, these three have their interest on Zeke, the human whose potentials seem to have no limits.

"Can we look at his stats?" Chrono asked.

"It doesn't' go against the contract so we might as well do." Nisha said. At this, she opened a window and on it, are all the details about Zeke.

"There you go." Zeke said as he lay Allesiah inside a bandit tent.

The whole area has already been cleared as Zeke already deployed Samael to the camp. He knows that Allesiah would probably be either dead or fall from exhaustion before she reaches the bandit encampment and, he was relieved about the fact that it's the latter of the two.

"Samael, guard her. I'll just go around to look at what these guys have for us." Zeke said.

At the first area, Zeke was able to find a map. However, the explosion got half of it destroyed making it useless. He went around this camp, trying to find the same map. At the same time, he opened the notifications. He realized that, reading them all at the same time would be troublesome so he wants to do away with notifications that may have popped up during this mission.

[The Sub Quest: Destroy the Viper Bandit's Encampment on the North of the Forest has been cleared.]

[5 Skill Points are given as a reward.]

[The Sub Quest: Destroy the Viper Bandit's Encampment on the South of the Forest has been cleared.]

[5 Skill Points are given as a reward.]

"This is good. I'll need these to strengthen the skills I currently have." He told himself. He invested all the points on [Quick Step] which upgraded until [Rank C->. With the current level of the skill, he can now cover more distance with the skill while also gaining more speed with every activation.

After this, he continued to look for items inside the encampment. There are a lot of items to go around but, with his analysis skill, he is able to minimize his search as all he focused on are green labeled items and higher.

"Ahhh there you are!" He said as he finally found a map. The whole thing is still in good shape and, as he held it in his hands, another window popped up.

[You have found a complete map.]

[Add it to your minimap information?]

"Yes." Zeke said, knowing that this is probably for the best. The map in front of him dissolved and, another window showed up.

[Viper Bandits Headquarters have been added to the explored areas!]

"Expand." Zeke continued, showing him the whole map of the forest. There are some parts that are still shaded black. This is because he hasn't explored those areas yet but, aside from that, there is a large area deep within the forest that has a title on it reading [Viper Bandits Headquarters].

"Finally." Zeke thought, knowing that he can now progress into completing the main quest.

The only problem is that Allesiah is still fast asleep. Zeke wanted to wait for her to wake up but, his whole body is just itching to finish the quest. That's why, he made Samael carry Allesiah as they continued on to the next destination.

It didn't take him that long. By completely draining his mana using [Mana Conversion] he is able to make it to the headquarters in just 30 minutes. He then replenished his mana pool using another set of potions which he bought after selling all the useless items that are stacked in his inventory.

The hideout is a large area that is surrounded by a thick wall of trees all round it. Nobody ever found this place because, the bandits have placed enough traps all around to kill off possible threats. Plus, they've lured monsters around the area, making it look like their hideout is nothing more than another normal spot inside the forest.

With Zeke's enhanced physical attributes, he was able to leap past the traps and the monsters with ease, getting to a tall tree and viewing the whole camp from inside. He wanted to dive into the fight already but, he saw that there is already a brewing commotion on the place. Explosions are made while shouts and screams followed through.

"What exactly is going on here?" He said to himself as he inspected the area. Then, he saw a woman wearing a green cloak, jumping all over the place with a bow and arrow on her hands. Apart from her, there is another figure with a yellow cloak, running through the bandits like they're nothing more than sheets of paper. This yellow-clad figure held a great sword, the same kind of weapon that Zeke got from the [King].

"Those are some insanely accurate movements." Hen said as he watched the green cloaked figure. Then, an arrow almost hit this person, taking off the hood that hid the person's face. At this, Zeke saw another silver haired woman, a color that looks similar to Allesiah's.

The female archer got irritated and fired and extra set of arrows at the enemy who did this. She kept on leaping and jumping, dodging all other projectiles that come. This is followed by a swift return of arrows which always hit their mark. Apart from this, any opponent that comes close are met by the edges of her bow which seem to be made with a sharp blade of steel.

She didn't even run out of arrows because, just as the she kept moving all around the place, she also takes back the arrows that are pierced inside the dead opponents. Aside from this, she targets archer bandits, killing them off once her supply of arrows run short. She takes the supply from their quivers and continues fighting on.

The yellow-clad is not a small fry either. As he made a dash, his hood also came off, revealing a male elf. His small frame is completely unbelievable as he moved at a swift pace, swinging the sword as if it's made of air. Both of them kept attacking and, as of the moment, no bandits have been able to kill them off. However, there is a problem.

"The hideout is too big." Zeke said. He was looking at the whole place from above after all. What these two are covering is simply a third of the camp and, they aren't even finished yet. There are a lot more enemies coming out with other bandits swarming in.

This isn't even the end of their problems. With the map that Zeke obtained, he understood that, the base has an underground layer which hides more bandits.

"Sooner or later, those guys will pop out and, they'd be completely surrounded." Zeke said out loud. His thoughts tend to be voiced when he's thinking about lot of things.

His prediction came sooner than expected. Just as the female elf landed on the ground, a part of the ground suddenly came up and, two hands came out, grabbing her ankles. She tried hitting this enemy but, another bandit came out, deflecting the bow with his scimitar. They then pulled the elf inside.

The male elf tried to help her but, the number of enemies just kept increasing, cornering him in a single spot.

"What's going on?" Allesiah said as she finally woke up.

"Ahh perfect timing."

'Huh?" Allesiah replied, still a bit lightheaded.

"We're going to attack the Viper Bandits." Zeke said, with a smile on his face.

"Oh, you mean another small group?"

"Oho? Come see for yourself." Zeke said, making Allesiah come closer to him as the spellcaster's eyes widened in horror.

"The main camp!?!?"

"Hey pipe down will you. It's a good thing that a commotion is going on, otherwise they'd probably hear you." Zeke replied.

"How will we even fight those guys?" Allesiah said in panic.

"Ahhh, leave the questions for later. Samael carry her down." At this they jumped off of the tree and immediately made it to where the male elf is standing. Everyone stopped for a while, trying to make sense of what just happened and, just as some of them began targeting Zeke, he finally mouthed the word

"Conjure."
