The God of Chaos (Unedited)

Chapter 62: Lydia Bastich

Over the past couple of years, Baya had put a lot of effort into improving his martial prowess, and he had taken this to be an opportunity to show off to Willard how much he had improved. Before he started following Willard, he had been stuck on the 8th level of natural energy, but now he had improved to the very top limits of the 10th level of natural energy. All that was left for him was to find some inspiration to the elements that suited his nature to train in, then he would be able to break into the elemental energy level and start cultivating the element of his choice.

Baya quickly realized that using the movement technique the way he had just done only served to deplete his energy reserves. "How stupid of me," Baya thought to himself.

"Brothers, although this man is commendable, he is sure to be running out of energy soon. Let's persevere and kill him. Just imagine what treasures someone like him would be holding." The man with the large blade said raising the morale of his fellow bandits. Baya had a disgruntled look on his face, as he thought of a possible solution to the problem.

"What am I doing. All I need to do is take down the head, and the rest of the body will fall." Baya said as he realized his next course of action. It was pointless for him to expend a lot of energy fighting the foot soldiers. For him to truly come out victorious, he would have to truly damage their morale, if not, he would lose the battle of contrition.

Like a deranged dog, Baya charged towards the bandit with the large blade, who had a smile as he noticed Baya coming towards him. The bandit swung his large blade with all the strength he could muster. His plan was to overwhelm Baya with pure brute strength. He knew he wasn't as fast or as nimble as Baya, so the obvious choice for him was to overpower him. As the blade came crashing down, a sense of great danger-filled Baya to his bones. He halted his currently straight motion moving to the right as he tried to dodge the attack. Baya could quickly tell that he would not be capable of blocking that attack and as such had to evade.

As Baya managed to evade the attack, the blade crashed down on the floor, destroying the area of impact. With that attack, Baya confirmed that the bandit he was currently facing was at least on the 10th level of natural energy. The bandit brutishly swung his blade to the left, continuing his attack in hopes of quickly killing Baya. Luckily enough for Baya, he had been expecting the continuous attack as he evaded them with everything he had.

Over at the edge of the forest where the young lady was currently standing, a look of surprise could be seen on the faces of the onlookers. The old man that had insisted on running away had a look of disbelief. Never in his wildest dream would he have expected the unassuming young man to be able to battle against the bandits. He turned to look at Willard who still was resting behind the tree. He looks carefully at Willard's outfit, trying to figure out if he was some powerful young master that could hire such a powerful bodyguard.

"He must have hired him by luck. No wonder he is so carefree as to be sleeping in this situation." The old man thought to himself. When suddenly an idea came to his mind, which in turn caused him to smile.

The young lady still had a worried expression as she watched Baya battle the bandits. For some strange reason, the more Baya was in danger the more worried she felt. And this wasn't worrying for her own safety, it was for Baya's safety. "I don't even know your name. Please stay alive," she said softly as she continued to watch.

Baya continued to evade the frenzied attack of the bandit with the large blade. He wasn't the slightest bit negligent in doing that. Sometimes he used the movement technique and countered some attacks putting some pressure on his opponent. "If I had known I would encounter someone as fast and dangerous as this, I would have brought some lackeys with bows and arrows." the bandit thought, swinging his blade furiously. "On top of that, the way he counters my attack is just too dangerous."
