Lyara was left astonished and terrified by the new man who appeared out of nowhere; he had killed one of the men who kidnapped them in a matter of seconds with just a kick.
"Lyara! Get away–"
Her older sister Mira demanded, but was interrupted by Lyara, who still didn't take her eyes off the window.
"I doubt that old man's attention is on us right now…" she muttered.
Mira just looked at her, somewhat confused by what she said, then glanced sideways at the green-haired girl named Rena, who was the most frightened of the three.
"Relax, Rena, nothing's going to happen, okay?"
She only nodded hurriedly while hugging her.
"Y-You promise?"
"... Yes…"
After that brief exchange, a loud crash shook the old cabin, putting the two on alert.
"What was that?!"
"...That man…" Lyara murmured in astonishment.
That crash was one of the remaining bandits who had attacked Aldán from behind with a spear, ready to pierce his neck.
But with a simple tilt of his head, he dodged the attack and immediately grabbed the man's arm, throwing him forward and slamming him against the cabin.
The man was still alive, but in severe pain.
Aldán kept advancing at a slow pace before stopping.
Not counting the man in front of him, there were four more surrounding him.
Two of them with swords like the previous ones, another with a chain with a weight hanging from it.
And the fourth without any weapon.
Aldán simply stood still, waiting for them to attack first, and so they did. Not even a second passed before the four behind lunged at him, followed by the one in front.
Aldán began dodging the attacks one by one at great speed while counterattacking.
But unlike the others, these five were more coordinated, launching attacks so that if Aldán dodged one, another would be just inches away.
'This is getting annoying…'
With a strong sweep across the ground, he lifted a layer of dirt that blinded the man with the spear in front of him, who thrust desperately only for the attack to be caught by Aldán.
Then, in a quick spinning motion, Aldán grabbed his head and slammed him hard against the ground, killing him instantly.
Before he could relax even a little, Aldán used the same body to stop a sword that was heading for his chest.
The strength of that man was surprising, to the point that he struggled against Aldán for several seconds, but seeing no advantage on his side, one of his companions suddenly appeared beside Aldán, who barely had time to release the body and cover himself before being sent flying several meters back by a strong kick that drew some blood.
"Agh…" Aldán spat a bit of blood from his mouth before getting up from the ground without haste.
The four remaining men were still standing, ready to charge again.
The first to act was the one with the chain, who launched his attack by wrapping Aldán's right arm, causing the weight at the end to strike his jaw hard.
But the latter didn't even flinch. Instead, he used the same chain to yank the man toward him with brute force.
Once he had him in front of him, he grabbed him by the neck, tightening his grip hard, making the man react violently as he tried to break free.
With his other free arm, he placed it over the man's shoulder and began applying overwhelming force to his limbs.
Causing a horrifying scream from the man as he felt his flesh stretch inhumanly.
The other attackers stood stunned by what they were witnessing, unable to move to help their accomplice.
"AGHHHH!"
SHTKKK…..
A grotesque sound of flesh and blood filled the place completely, making the atmosphere even heavier than it already was.
Aldán held the trafficker's head in his right hand, while in the other he still held the mutilated body.
"..."
"Good. Who's next?"
His provocation and lack of emotion after what he had done sent a chill through the three remaining men, who gritted their teeth and lunged forward.
- - - -
"THAT GUY IS INSANE!" Mira shouted in disgust after what she had just seen.
Lyara, on the other hand, had a somewhat forced smile between disbelief and disgust at what she saw.
"... S-So what? That guy is killing the bastards who kidnapped us…"
She said, glancing sideways at Mira, who was hugging Rena, who didn't dare look at the fight.
"... we can't trust that guy, Lyara…"
"I know."
- - - -
What followed after that was a complete and disgusting massacre by Aldán against the remaining three men.
Even the last of them tried to escape, but it was useless.
[Dead: 9/10]
[You're doing well… only one left.]
'You're back…' Aldán thought with little interest as he walked back toward the cabin.
Hoping that the last bastard wouldn't attack him out of nowhere.
Most likely, he had either escaped or was still hiding after seeing what happened to his companions.
Aldán's condition wasn't the same as before either.
His jaw was fractured but still functional, bruises covered several parts of his body along with multiple cuts ranging from shallow to deep, causing him to lose a considerable amount of blood.
TASHH.
The cabin door was flung open by Aldán, only for him to see what he had already expected.
The three girls to be rescued, injured and dirty. Along with a fat old man with a disgusting face who had Rena with a knife to her neck.
"..."
"Stay right there!"
the old man shouted, clearly frightened, tightening his grip on the girl and pressing the knife harder against her throat, causing a slight cut and a pained whimper from her.
"LET HER GO, YOU BASTARD!" Mira shouted helplessly at the sight of her sister in that state.
Lyara was the same, clenching her teeth so hard it caused her pain, and her hands were clenched so tightly that a bit of blood came out of them.
