Chapter 250: Business proposal.
"I must give it to them. They are quite organized for bandits." Blake said as he activated lightning reinforcement and Ebony and Ivory appeared in his hands.
'Brian you should protect the carriages, I and Castiel will handle them.' Blake said to Brian who jumped on top of the carriage and began casting water barriers around the carriages.
As for Blake, since Arnold told him not to kill anyone he used Ebony and Ivory to slice apart both spells and weapons of the bandits.
With just his base speed and physical abilities as a champion, it didn't take up to 3 minutes for them to dispatch the 10 warrior-level bandits.
"Boss, what should we do?" One of the bandits asked the bare-chested leader.
The bandits planned to rob the carriages attack the adventures while simultaneously robbing the carriages. That was why they continuously fired spells at both the adventurers and the carriages to deplete their shields.
They had thought it would be an easy operation where they would easily break into the carriage and cart away with as many goods as possible before the ash corps arrived, but everything seemed to have been turned on its head.
Not only were the 3 adventurers not being overpowered by their sheer number, but every attack they seemed to throw at the carriages was being blocked by the dark muscular kid on dreadlocks.
"We can't break through the carriage's defense like this. Everybody focus on the 2 kids on the ground!" The bare-chested bandit commanded, but that was when night mist began filling the area.
"What is going on?" One of the bandits asked in a confused tone when their vision was getting blurry.
The bandits could be considered to be bumpkins when it came to magic. Because they have lived all their lives in the slums where magic was rare, they didn't have the exposure the magic school gave them causing them to have no clue of what the darkness element looked like.
In a matter of seconds, the bandits began losing sight of themselves as the black mist engulfed them all.
In fear of the unknown, the bandits fired spells in all directions, but since they couldn't see or hear their companions they felt that they weren't hitting anyone so they continued in an attempt to stop any ambush.
"We can seriously watch them wipe out each other." Castiel said to Blake who was watching the chaos ensue from the top of the 1st carriage.
"It would be nice to watch that, but we can't keep the client waiting." Blake replied.
If they were to wait, the bandits would most likely wipe themselves out, and even if they were smart enough to realize they were attacking each other, it would be too late because they would have no energy to move.
"Whatever you say." Castiel said as they both dived into the black mist.
With the enhanced speed granted by the night mist, Castiel was phasing through the shadows and knocking out the bandits. On the other hand, Blake was appearing to the bandits as flashes of electricity before they lost consciousness.
"The ash corps should already be on their way, lets get out of here." Blake and Castiel stepped into the carriage, while Brian manipulated the earth to restrict and get the unconscious bandits out of way.
'Seriously? You think binding them with earth will stop them from escaping?' Castiel asked with a raised brow.
'I know practically everyone can break free from the earth binds, but it is way better than not binding them at all." Brian explained his actions.
On Earth handcuffing a criminal to a fixed object was more than enough to make sure that the police capture them, but in Infinite realm, things like normal handcuffs were beyond useless. The only reason Brian had bonded them was to make sure that any passer-by would know that they were bandits.
With everything cleared up, the unharmed carriages and drivers continued on their journey, and in a matter of minutes, they arrived at the brotherhood pub.
It was a one-story pub more than thrice the size of your usual pub. The brotherhood pub was among the top 5 pubs in the entire slums and it was usually packed to the brim at the end of working hours.
The brotherhood pub was one of the many establishments of the Winchester family, but unlike most of them that were run by trained personnel from the Winchester family, this one was managed by a commoner.
With the history of enmity between the nobles and commoners, it had become a normal occurrence for commoners to not patronize noble establishments. They were all against the idea of making them richer.
That is why the Winchester family had made the smart move of making someone the commoners could relate, to be the face of the establishment.
Regularly the commoners knew the pub had a kind of relationship with the Winchester family, but charlie the pub owner had 'explained' to them that the relationship between the Winchester family and the pub was that of a buyer and supplier.
The commoners had no problems with this because everyone knew that the commoners didn't have access to high-quality alcohol and neither could they produce it. So those things were left to the nobles.
After the crates were offloaded by the workers of the pub, the trio alongside Arnold and 2 empty carriages left the slums and returned to the Winchester family.
They were about to be taken back to the adventurers association, but that was when Blake made a business proposal.
"From what I saw today, it is safe to say the gang is terrorizing the area and is in one way affecting business. Is there a chance that we could deal with them?" Blake's question stunned Castiel, Brian, and even Arnold.
'What the fuck are you doing?' Brian couldn't help but ask through the mind link.
'This is a chance for us to make a name for ourselves and rapidly get contribution points.' Blake replied.
