In the span of a few seconds, the raiding party's twelve members quickly encircled Von's group while their leader remained seated on a small mound a few paces away from them.
"It's not everyday you get to see outlaws and Amanis mingling together. And yet they say we Hisantu clans are the simps!" The party leader spoke out loud in a mocking tone, his face adorned with a lazy smirk.
"Spare me the bullshit..." Von remarked in an uninterested voice.
After a moment of silence with all of them just staring at each other, one of the raiders got tires of maintaining eye contact and decided to attack.
"Bring it on!!" He roared as he charged towards Von.
With the charge of the first raider, the others immediately followed suit and the area soon devolved into chaos.
The charging raider was a bald burly man with scars riddling his face and arms. He was gripping a berserker's axe firmly in both hands, his only armor being a tattered leather vest that he wore above his bare chest.
Von without hesitation quickly got into a fighting pose. The beautiful black and red bracelet around his wrist began wriggling for a moment before morphing into a broad katana.
With a simple swing he easily deflected the great axe that was swinging fiercely at his face and in another swift motion the katana blade morphed into a elongated dagger that pierced into the throat of the burly berserker, calmly drawing first blood.
The body of the raider crumpled down, blood spilling from his gaping neck and mouth, his eyes wide with shock as the life in them slowly fading away.
Although the berserker was know as a fool, he was actually a very skilled warrior and no one in the raiding party expected him to fall so quickly to that weak looking youth.
The leader of the party subconsciously drew in a cold breath and abruptly stood up from the mound.
While all this was happening, Hulu had also selected an opponent and was locked in fierce combat. His opponent, a skinny hooded figure with the stature of a woman swung a whip like chain with a small crescent blade attached to it's end.
Hulu's scimitar continuously collided with the chain as he tried to close the gap between them, but to no avail.
Although it was frustrating for Hulu to be caught in a stalemate with a woman and despite their obvious numerical disadvantage, he didn't mind as he already knew about Von and Peanut's capabilities. He continued his battle with full focus, trying all he could to enclosed on his opponent who in turn kept shifting around.
After swiftly dispatching his first opponent Von's dagger once again morphed, this time taking the form of an exquisite bow.
"How am I doing big brother, awesome right?!!" Jacinth asked excitedly in his head.
Von snorted without giving a reply. He drew the bowstring with all his might until it became taut stretching it to it's limit, black shadowy arrows formed out of his aura manifested on the bow before flying of with swift precision.
In one shot Von took out another three members of the raiding party, reducing their numbers to nine (the leader included).
Peanut didn't remain idle either, she leaped into the air before expanding to size of a of a great mountain tiger. She landed on the body of her target, dragging him down with her weight, her elongated claws and fangs sinking deeply into his face and ripping out chunks of flesh.
