Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 30: Never go back

"Hah hah That was easy? Yup that was easy but, we have a problem so we should start running now. I don't know which clan governs this area but whoever governs it won't be letting us go without a fight, so Start running."

Nix remarked.

They started speeding towards the gate and just before they could get away the gates were closed by the securities. And it would be impossible for them to break that massive metal gate. And almost thirty Outlaws surrounded them.

"Shit! Nix I don't think we can hide anymore since this turned out bad let's just start flying."

They removed their cloaks and spread their wings and fluttered to ascended on the air while carrying Nix. And the Outlaw Mages and Archers started to attack them.

"ahhhh"

Sara groaned as she was struck by an arrow and Nix and everyone's condition was the same.

They were getting struck by 10-20 arrows as they started to ascend in the air. They started speeding up as much as they could. And they somehow managed to cross the towering walls. Even though they were critically injured they continued flying to the forest while being chased by the outlaws.

Their armors shattered as they were drilled by several arrows and hit by magic spells everybody was critically damaged and their thriving plan backfired ultimately. Their armors broke all they had were weapons which they won't be able to use under their current condition. Except for one guy who had also taken several damages but not to the extent of Tyga, Tundra, and Sara.

"Ahhh"

With a cry, Sara fell into the forest.

Tundra Cried out.

"Tyga! land Now."

And they all got down into that dense forest and the outlaws didn't seem to be letting them loose as they all chased after them.

Tyga raised his voice.

"Nix you remember our contract right. We believe you don't back out now, stand firmly, believe we can get out of this situation, yes we are in an impossible situation and yes we are surrounded by approximately twenty to thirty outlaws... "

Tundra started continuing where Tyga left.

"Nix as you can see we are terribly wounded. That means we can't help you here like the last time we did. so, this means that only you! only you can try to get us out of this misery."

Sara had her eyes welled with tears while looking at Nix with pleading eyes. If Nix wanted he could just betray them and save himself. They looked at Nix for his response.

'From the start, he was not interested in helping us nor had he been acting like a good man? would he help us?'

Thinking inwardly, Tyga looked at Nix doubtfully.

'Would this guy help us?'

Tundra thought to himself.

Nix's lips curved up as they all stared at Nix.

"I am in a contract with you both which means even if I let you people die here. I own your soul's right?"

All the three of them furrowed their brow upon hearing Nix's words.

Nix stared at them intensely and started laughing.

"hahaha, Sike Don't worry! I'll try my best. It's not like I am in a situation like this for the first time,"

Everyone's face bloomed a smile after hearing it.

"Now you three start walking Now and give one of those broken armors and that broadsword in your hand."

"Here" Tyga and Tundra threw what they had in their hands.

Sara opened her mouth.

"I got some healing potion stolen from the weaponry store but yes it won't be enough for our wounds."

Nix frowned at Sara

"Okay, but start moving this ain't a moment to talk peacefully."

The three started walking by supporting each other.

"I am doomed! so much for acting Mighty. But, I can't be peaceful here. that's for sure."

Nix muttered to himself.

"shrriiik"

Suddenly an arrow came from somewhere through the thick bushes and brushed passing Nix.

"Woah that was close!" He exclaimed.

[Doom Prediction eye activated]

'Come one now!'

"shriik"

"shriiik"

Dozens of arrows came towards his direction tearing and piercing the air plus a fireball spell. and he barely managed to avoid the arrows and spells.

'Outlaws are thieves and robbers they are the lowest to the lowest and those bastards are attacking me for thievery this situation doesn't sit well. I don't know why?'

Nix turned back and checked if the three were still in that vicinity. While he scanned for enemies. The arrows and spells kept coming towards him.

"Why are they so tenacious to kill us?"

Muttering to himself he started rushing towards the City rather than running in the opposite direction.

"shrriiik"

"kueekkk"

Nix cried out in pain as an arrow penetrated him successfully unlike the last few tries made by them.

'Fuck! I can't run! What should I do?'

Feeling frustrated he fell to the ground.

'Think Nix! Think!'

Thinking he squirmed like a worm on the ground started to bury himself in the muddy moist ground and closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

Suddenly he remembered the words and faces of Tyga, Tundra, and Sara.

[Nix you remember the contract right? we believe you don't back out now, stand firmly believe we can get out of this situation yes we are in an impossible situation, and yes! we are surrounded by approximately twenty-thirty outlaws... ]

[Nix as you can see we are terribly wounded. That means we can't help you here like the last time we did. so, this means that only you! only you can try to get us out of this misery.]

and finally, he remembered the teary face of Sara.

He shot his eyes wide open and regained his consciousness finding himself buried inside the moist soil filled with mud and dirt.

'I said I would take care of this... I think I won't be able to live a satisfied and happy life without regrets and those dumb-ass draconians even sold their souls to me so, I need to repay them.'

While he was in his thoughts. He found several footsteps on the ground and some outlaws crossed the land he was buried in without noticing him.

'Now I will Attack you, people, stealthily!'

He roused his mana and inserted it into the Proto blade and shot the nearby guy. He then stood from the Mud and inserted his blade into a nearby guy's neck and unsheathed the sword and struck another man.

He started running and climbed a tree and waited for other Outlaws.

"This feels easy peasy I need to attack stealthily"

Muttering to himself he waited for the other enemies.

"shriikk"

An arrow came towards him.

'How did he find me out? Is my strategy lacking?'

He descended down and buried himself in the mud again and closed his eyes.

'Is this how I should do it?'

"boom!"

A Magic spell fell on him.

'What? how did they find me out now?'

He decided on a frontal attack and started attacking everything that fell on sight recklessly. And fortunately killed five others.

'How many more Scums are hiding out there?'

"shriikk"

This time an arrow accurately pierced his shoulder.

"Kueekkk"

Nix cried in pain which resounded through the whole forest.

"I can't take this anymore come at me you cowardly pussies!"

Clutching his sword he openly challenged them.

And suddenly twelve Outlaw men and women revealed themselves to him.

And a man in the center of the group laughed at him and started speaking.

"hahaha, Nix well done. You did great! To fight back our assault single-handedly! You are truly powerful just like I heard. "
