I Didn't Even Want To Live, But God Forced Me To Reincarnate! Chapter 66: Crisis During Vacation (1)

A small sea dragon with a body made of water is floating outside the building, trying to get inside a certain room, but his effort is useless, as something else is preventing him from coming inside.

The small creature is quite intelligent, as he quickly understands the situation. It was very likely that a magical barrier was raised around the vicinity in order to prevent anyone from taking notice of the unfolding events inside the barrier.

Phyllo quickly dashed back—to report to his master.

In the meantime, the master of the small familiar is facing yet another obstacle—but it's actually very predictable, with the path that they chose.

A group of thieves has appeared in front of them. The carriage driver was s.h.i.+vering in fear because he didn't possess any single quality that could make him survive in front of danger. Cyan and Rupert casually stepped out of the carriage, not even bothering to put on grand disguises. Rupert was being himself—while Cyan simply manipulated his hair and eyes color to blue—in order to disguise his ident.i.ty that's way too easy to guess only by his real appearance.

The disguise he's using right now, a man with a pair of sky blue eyes and a darker blue resembling the color of the deep sea—is a disguise that he's been using a lot back in his youthful days. He's been so used to it that he has no difficulty whatsoever in keeping that kind of appearance, regardless if it's just an illusion or transformation.

The ignorant bunch of thieves didn't seem to be a smart group—as they clearly overlooked the wide gap between their power.

"Rupert, let's finish this quickly."

"Of course."

There are around 9 thieves, all ganging up on the two spies, forming a circle. They are all grinning, thinking that these two men must be foolish enough not to surrender.

"Give up now, or you will regret," said the most influential man among the thieves—seems like he's the leader of the gang.

"..."

Silent.

His merciful offer is greeted back with silence.

Actually—the ones running out ouf their luck are the thieves, not the other way round. But they couldn't have imagined it. They are overwhelmed with the sense of victory and have already begun thinking about the items and amount of money they will gain.

Cyan and Rupert have positioned themselves in their combat position, ready to strike back whenever their opponents make their first moves.

The leader gritted his teeth in anger.

"Fine, let's finish them off!" He commanded—and at the same time, all of the thieves are charging at Cyan and Rupert!

Four of them quickly targeted Rupert, while the other four targeted Cyan. Each of them is wielding a weapon—some are using knives, while some are using swords.

Rupert and Cyan also wielded their weapons—Cyan with his trusted scimitar, and Rupert with his dual katar.

A man was about to attack Rupert from his right side, but he quickly dodged it using his right katar—and simultaneously moved his left katar to block the upcoming slash in front of him. The other two men are ganging up from his left side, ready to attack him, thinking that he's unable to dodge their attack as both of his hands are now preoccupied.

But Rupert was not foolish enough to not think of their plan ahead. Since the two men were approaching, he could see that their shadows, reflected by the beautiful bright moonlight, are overlapping. All he needed to do was to position his left foot and chant.

[Sceadwian geweald, forsettan!]

In that instant, their movements are blocked. Rupert then lifted his right leg and kicked the man on his right, freeing his right katar, as he rapidly swung his right katar to the man in front of him. All this happened in the blink of an eye. Blood splattered from the man's shoulders, as he was too late to realize what was going on.

This movement caused Rupert's left foot to step away from the other two men's shadows, causing them to quickly move in order to defeat him.

However, Rupert used his left elbow to hit one man's chin, while his knee hit the man's abdomen. The impact was so powerful that it caused him to fly in the air for a short moment, before his body fell back to the ground.

The other man tried to take advantage of this by swinging his knife towards Rupert—only for Rupert to dodge it sideways—making the knife lightly grazed his bang, cutting it a bit. He then rewarded the man's attack with another attack using his katars, cutting through his limbs.

At the same time, Cyan also blocked the man in front of him with his scimitar, while extending his left hand to the two other rus.h.i.+ng men.

[Holm nicor!]

In that instant, a swirling water appears above his left hand, rapidly getting bigger in size with furious movement, as it is approaching the two men on his left side. The swirling water finally approached the men as it formed a straight line of water with its tip forming the shape of a head—it's as if there's a dragon made of water.

The water in shape of a dragon quickly hits the two poor men with great speed, dragging the two men meters away from their previous location before the water evaporates. Needless to say that the impact was more than enough to cause them unconscious.

Cyan then swiftly let his scimitar back away from the thief's sword, slightly causing the thief losing his balance to the front, becoming a bit wobbly. Cyan quickly slashed the man's chest using his scimitar while dodging the fourth man's upcoming dagger attack.

The fourth man still didn't want to give up, so he stepped forward and aimed at Cyan's chest again. Cyan quickly blocked it with his scimitar.

At that time, Phyllo appears in front of Cyan.

"Pi, piiii!!!" His voice indicated the danger he sensed.

"What?! Phyllo, quick, go to Ca.s.s and inform her!!" Cyan didn't proceed to attack the fourth man, he only continued to hold him back with blocking his movement as he commanded Phyllo.

The little sea dragon quickly obeyed his master's words without any hesitation. Even though he was being commanded to go here and there in quick succession, he didn't show any sign of fatigue at all. He diligently does what he's commanded to do.

His opponent felt upset because Cyan was ignoring him, so he balled his left fist and aimed at Cyan's head, but Cyan brought his head downward in order to dodge the upcoming punch.
