Chapter 277 Reasons (5)

Billy wondered if he had been childish. Svan, despite being brainwashed, came to attack him alone because he wanted a fair fight, but Billy ignored that. While magic was a part of his fighting style, the way he used it seemed a bit cheap… At least that was how he felt after defeating the big guy, and with no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.

The other barbarians didn’t even see what had happened due to the darkness of the night, and when the stone bullets fell, the sound wasn’t heard because of the thud Svan caused by falling. So, from their perspective, Billy had defeated their leader without using a single weapon, and in a manner so fast that was beyond the speed their eyes could follow. Those moments of shock gave Gilles even more time to knock them out.

After handcuffing Svan, Billy helped Gilles, and despite the fact that they had lost twenty of their friends and their leader almost instantly, the other barbarians still wanted to fight. Now with their axes and shields protecting their whole bodies, they charged, and that made things difficult for Billy and Gilles.

”No, other choice, huh…” Billy thought.

Billy touched the ground, and then he felt the steps through the land in front of him… all of them. In the next moment, the ground began to move and engulf the legs of all those barbarians. They panicked since they suddenly lost their ability, and they panicked even more, when they began to sink… or being pulled by the ground. They tried to free themselves, but it was useless. Underneath the earth, they couldn’t move a single muscle… Still, Billy didn’t leave them there for long. He immediately made them rise, but their legs and hands were already cuffed.

After a while, Billy did the same with those that Gilles had knocked them out. In the meantime, the old man went to talk with the inhabitants of the area. They had heard the noises, but they didn’t dare leave their residences to see what had happened. As soon as that was done, Billy used Svan’s mana to undo the brainwashing, but Billy had to use some of his as well since he didn’t have much. Not even with that, he learned a new spell, though.

To avoid problems, Billy did that while he was carrying him to one of the carts. So, when he finished his work, Svan was already awake, and while confused, he also was glaring at him.

”I am not your enemy, there is no need to he so hostile,” Billy said. “By now, you should have realized that you were brainwashed by Jeannette.”

”Yes, I realize that…” Svan said. “It doesn’t change the fact that I have become a prisoner to the likes of cowards. You used magic to defeat me.”

”Prisoner is a strong word,” Billy shrugged. “I am just doing this because to would become a problem later if we were to let you here. Once I deal with Jeannete, you can come at us if you want, I will crush you myself and this time, I won’t hold back. In fact, why don’t we spar a little once we return to my base, I feel like I need some training lately. You should work well as a warm up.”

”Hahaha, you talk big and I can see that you have courage in your eyes,” Svan laughed a little. “Let’s see if you truly are brave enough to try that and keep your word.”

The other barbarians began to whisper among themselves. It was quite weird and didn’t fit their image. In any case, it seemed that they had never heard of someone talking with their leader like that. Still, Svan didn’t look that annoyed. Billy looked well built even from the perspective of the barbarians, but he was far from having the same physical strength as Svan.

”Are you done making new friends?” Gilles asked with hundreds of people behind him.

”I guess so,” Billy said. “Anyway, these guys are big, so I will have to make some extra carts. Make the others assume their positions.”

Billy was already tired of those confused eyes when he made the carts almost instantly, so he ignored them. In any case, since the prisoners this time were the barbarians, Billy had to go back to the dungeon town. They could do something, even though Billy had disarmed them. Even the guards of the place frowned when they saw the barbarians. Defeating them was quite the difficult task, so capturing them alive was almost impossible, and all of them at that… Pierre knew Billy the longest, but he still looked shocked at every little thing he did.

”Is that… Svan?” Pierre asked.

”Yes, do you know him?” Billy asked.

”I travelled once to his state and he was among the leaders three,” Pierre replied.

Pierre proceeded to talk with Svan and the other barbarians. Some recognized him, but they still were angry from being put under surveillance. Fighting was something that they had done ever since they were kids, so being defeated and not dying was quite shameful to them. They were a weird bunch. If Billy couldn’t defeat someone, he would train harder and then try again. He was sure that once he succeeded, the feeling of accomplishment would wash away all of the anger and despair.

Regardless, while some guards didn’t like the idea of working at night and guarding prisoners, they couldn’t quite refuse Billy’s orders. He was the man who not only captured alive fifty barbarians, but the rumor was already spreading that he defeated Svan. Not to mention, he was also close to the leader of the state… going against the orders of someone like that wasn’t wise.

In any case, Billy and Gilles went to another village, and they found another group of barbarians there. Naturally, they caused a lot of problems, so they only had the chance to rescue around seven hundred immigrants that night. It was more than enough for Pierre since it was his job to look after and send them to other cities and towns to work and find a house. Billy would work that night again, but before that, he freed Svan and then gave it back his axes. It was time for them to spar as he had promised.
