Chapter 23: FIRST KILL
~..DARK FOREST..~
In the inner area of the dark forest, a silver hair kid can be seen running through the thick forest holding a left hand of the girl with crimson red hair.
Running behind them are groups of people holding weapons and torch made of fire.
Running through the forest Alex suddenly senses danger, so he stopped and pushed Aella to left side of his and uses his skill to defend against the coming attack.
[ LIGHT BARRIER ]
Alex uses his barrier skill when ball made of fire suddenly came at him from the bandits that are following them almost half hour.
Colliding the attack at barrier it send Alex bacteria some steps.
Looking at the barrier that starting to cracks Alex heart sank and muttered.
' Not Good at this rate barrier is going to break.'
Grabbing Aella hand Alex start running again in hope to escape from the bandits that are pursuing and attacking them non stop for almost half hour.
Looking at Alex, Aella saw sweats running down from his forehead and his expression was filled with worried and panic.
If I was stronger may be this wouldn't be happening now I'm burden to him if he can run alone, he should be get away from bandits easily without any problems.
While running Aella thought about how powerless she was.
When I was sick Alex was always there for me, despite not eating his meals he always give me two times a day.
And when that tiger gang started to robed us he joined adventure guild risking his life so he can earn some money for us.
And now I get kidnapped by the group of bandits he came to save knowing that may be he would lose his life.
How could I repay him Aella suddenly stop thinking when she realised that they are not running anymore.
Coming out of her thoughts Aella saw surroundings and start to panic.
Circling around them the group of bandits mix with tiger gang that they pay to protect them surround them with their weapons.
Looking at them Aella tried to say something to Alex but Alex stopped her saying..
" it's OK we will be going to save don't worry just hide behind me." Alex said to Aella with bright smile.
Looking at Alex smile Aella just nodded and hide behind the Alex back.
Now facing at the bandits Alex smiled vanished like illusion and looked at them with cold face.
Alex looked at the man who was clearly stronger then him coming out of them.
The man was middle-aged in his late thirties who was bald and scar on his face from his left eye to his chin the man was the strongest in the group making him the boss.
Looking at Alex the man sneered and said.
" you sure are agile little dog, did you really believe that we will leave you after you killed our two man."
Hearing the boss Alex closed his eyes and remember the scene happened when he tried rescue Aella.

~..Half an hour earlier..~
Peeking behind the tree Alex waited patiently for bandits to sleep.
After waiting for almost ten minutes the bandits started to get in to the tents to sleep.
Seeing there is no one Alex walk toward the where the cage located slowly.
Fearing that they will wake up making some noise while he's walking.
After walking slowly for five minutes Alex reach the cage saw two bandits were sleeping resting their back on the cage.
Taking deep breaths Alex reached his hands toward the Aella to wake her up from her sleep.
After some struggle Alex wake her up, rubbing her eyes Aella saw Alex standing in front of the cage.
Widening her Aella said " Alex what are you doing here! get out before they came."
Shhh stop don't shout or you will wake them up.' Alex whispered closing her mouth with his fingers.
Realising what she had, Aella widening her eyes and looked at left side of the cage to see two bandits where sleeping peacefully.
Sighing she said " you should go before they wake up."
Stop talking and help me unlock the door." Alex said ignoring what Aella said to him.
After struggling for five minutes they unlocked the door of the cage.
Alex smiled and said " let's leave before they wake up."
Aella just nodded and tried to get out of the cage.
After getting out the cage they heard the man waking up, turning behind they saw man staring at them with wide eyes.
Looking at them the man snapped open his eyes and grabbed his weapon and stand up tried to attack them.
Looking at the man, Alex summoned his sword and thrusts in his chest making him died on the spot.
Seeing the blood first time in her life Aella screamed with fear.
Hearing Aella scream the second man who was sleeping peacefully at the corner snapped open his eyes.
Looking at the surroundings he saw his comrade lying lifelessly at the ground.
Looking at the Alex he tried to attack them when he heard faint sound Wind slash.
[ WIND SLASH ]
Looking at the his attack that was going at the bandit cutting him to several pieces.
Hearing commotion the bandits that were sleeping peacefully starting to wake up one by one.
Looking at the bandits that were getting up Alex held Aella left hand dragged her in to the deeper area of the forest.
Duck catch them they are running away." one the bandit said after seeing Alex and Aella running away.
" Who dare to kill my subordinates."
While running away, Alex heard a powerful yell from behind making him stopped for few seconds.
*********************************************
~...Back to present...~
Taking deep breaths to calm himself down Alex opened his eyes and looked at them coldly.
Summoning the sword from his in inventory
Alex looked at the man who was closed to him.
Pushing Aella behind his back, Alex rushed at the closest bandit with his sword rising in his right hand....
