Chapter 129. The Justice Bandits

Chapter 129: 129. The Justice Bandits

"You really have some skills. And your spell casting is faster." Mash said.

"Who are you guys?" Tyler asked.

"Since you dodged one of my attacks, I will tell you. We are The Bandits of Justice," Mash said, widening his arms dramatically.

"A.k.A. BJ?" Lily Gomes immediately followed.

"What? No... Oh... Now I understand why they changed the name. Now we are called ’The Justice Bandits.’ Even the federation fears us in the north," Mash proudly introduced the cult he was in.

"The Justice Bandits. I’ve heard of this group. But I don’t know the details that much. Just like pirates, their members are on the bounty list." Lily whispered.

"So why are you doing this?" Tyler asked.

"Dodge the attack again. I will answer." Mash threw his trident. This time, Tyler clearly saw that the trident came back to Mash’s hand just as he threw it. Only a projection of the trident flew towards him.

"So that’s how it works." Tyler’s eyes shined. This weapon is interesting

Tyler deftly sidestepped the projection, which dissipated just before reaching him. The real trident returned seamlessly to Mash’s hand.

"Impressive," Mash admitted. "As for why we’re doing this, it’s simple. The world is corrupt. The strong prey on the weak, and justice is just a word used by those in power to keep everyone else in line. We’re here to balance the scales."

"Balance the scales by slaughtering an entire village?" Tyler shot back, his eyes narrowing.

"It was necessary," Mash replied coldly. "They were collaborators with a notorious pirate group. By eliminating them, we sent a message and disrupted their operations. Sometimes, you have to cut off a limb to save the body."

"That’s a twisted way to justify murder," Lily said, her voice filled with disdain.

Mash shrugged. "You see it your way; we see it ours. But enough talk. You’re quite skilled, Tyler. Join us. With your abilities, we could change the world."

Tyler’s eyes flicked to Lily, who gave a subtle shake of her head. "Thanks, but no thanks," he replied. "I have my own path to follow."

"Very well," Mash said, a hint of regret in his voice. "Then let’s see if you can handle this!" He raised his trident, and a wave of energy surged towards Tyler and Lily.

Tyler instinctively pulled Lily behind him, raising his hand to form an ice barrier. The wave of energy crashed into it, sending shards of ice flying in all directions.

Mash’s followers began to advance, surrounding them. Lily, not one to be easily intimidated, cracked her knuckles and smirked. "Looks like we’ve got a fight on our hands."

Tyler nodded, his eyes scanning their surroundings. "Stay close," he instructed. "We need to find a way to break this aura restriction array."

"I dodged another attack. So answer this. Why are you targeting our sect’s Young Master?" Tyler questioned Mash.

"Because of his origin story. You must have heard of it, right? When he was a newborn baby, his grandfather sacrificed many disciples to merge his meridian. I came here for justice," Mash said.

Tyler was confused, but his eyes lit up.

"Someone you know must have been a disciple who got sacrificed, right? It’s more like personal vendetta," Lily Gomes said before Tyler could respond.

"Correct. Justice is justice, even if it is accompanied by revenge," Mash waved his hand, and his subordinates began to chant spells.

"Except for Mash, who is at the Master level, the others are just Elite level. Can you handle them?" Tyler asked.

"I can knock them out if I can get closer," Lily said.

Lily was suddenly lifted up.

"What are you doing?" Lily asked with a blushed face.

She got carried by Tyler like a piggyback.

"I will be the mobility, and you attack," Tyler said.

Tyler disappeared and reappeared near a mage who was casting a spell. Lily punched his face, shattering it and sending him flying immediately.

The other mages who were chanting spells stopped, shocked.

"Quick, go airborne! Attack from above!" Mash ordered.

Icicles targeted those who tried to fly. Tyler disrupted their formation and appeared near another mage.

Lily’s Lovely Fist.

Boom... he was knocked down.

"What the heck is Lily’s Lovely Fist?" Tyler asked.

"Oh... Did I shout loudly? That’s something I named it when I was kid." Lily replied.

"Oh..."

"Incoming," Lily suddenly shouted. Tyler threw Lily upward, and a trident pierced his chest. Just like before, he turned into an ice statue and broke into pieces.

Tyler then appeared again and caught Lily.

"Woohoo! Let’s do it again," Lily shouted excitedly.

"Go, go Mode Ghost!" Lily shouted.

"I can’t do that without Mana," Tyler said. It is a transformation mode that can only be achieved with mana, his ghost spirit.

"Then Mode Dragon?" Lily asked.

"Nope. It needs Aura. For some reason, Dragon Form is extremely unstable if I use prana, my energy drains quickly."Tyler sighed.

Mash’s face twisted with frustration as he watched his subordinates fall one by one. "You think you can just waltz in here and defeat us?" he growled, raising his trident again. "Justice will prevail!"

Tyler, with Lily securely on his back, dashed forward, evading another energy wave from Mash. He knew they had to take down Mash to break the morale of the Justice Bandits. "We need to end this quickly," he whispered to Lily.

"Ready when you are," Lily replied, tightening her grip on his shoulders.

Tyler leaped into the fray, weaving through the attacks. His eyes locked onto Mash, who was now summoning a massive energy storm. "Now, Lily!"

"Watch out!" Lily shouted and ran towards Tyler.

Mash threw the trident again. This time it was so fast Tyler couldn’t dodge. He could only use his dragon-scaled arms to block it.

The trident blasted Tyler away. He knocked into Lily behind him, and both of them were sent flying. The scales on his arms broke, and blood splattered everywhere.

Tyler’s Dragon Mode dissipated as his Prana was depleted. He struggled to get up, his body aching from the trident’s impact. Lily, though shaken, was in better condition and quickly moved to Tyler’s side.

Mash, laughing maniacally, stood over them with his trident raised high. His eyes were wild with fervour as he shouted, "Justice will prevail!"

Young Sect Master Zhou’s face masks anger and desperation. "You’re a fool, Mash. This madness will get you nowhere. Leave now, and I’ll make sure you are generously rewarded. You can have wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Just let us go."

Mash sneered at Zhou, his laughter echoing through the misty air. "Wealth? What use is wealth to me? This is about justice, not some paper money. And You from an unorthodox sect. Will die today."

With a final, disdainful glance, Mash turned his attention to other disciples and Elders.

"Kill them." Mash ordered.

Soon a slaughter happened. Some disciples and the Elders couldn’t resist and they were killed by the mages.

"Stop. Stop. " Young Master Zhou Qingchen cried. He is so scared now. He doesn’t care about these people’s lives. But if they get killed next is him.

Meanwhile, on Tyler’s hand the dragon tattoo glowed.

"Zuzia?" Tyler called.

A small cat-like dragon appeared. She is in black and white colour with wings on her back. She looked extremely pissed.

"Zuzia stop." Tyler said. But the Little creature ignored him and shot towards the mages.

Bang Bang Bang

The Mages felt like mortals got hit by a bull on their chest. They were thrown away instantly. Mash noticed a cat flying and hitting his subordinates.

"What is this monster doing?" Mash clicked his tongue. Since he has feminine look, it looked like a girl sticking her tongue out.

He threw the Trident but it only hit Zuzia’s after image. Zuzia ignored him and grabbed a mage with its cute little paws. She then flapped her wings and flew higher. Then she dropped him towards another mage.

"Stop, you insolent creature." Mash appeared near zuzia and pointed to his trident.

Zuzia, who was flying in the air, glared at Mash while blowing hot air from her nose.

Both of them stared at each other.

Zuzia took a deep breath and blew out fire.

Mash was covered in fire. Mash wailed and rolled on the ground. The water element around him quickly formed and subdued the fire.

"What level is this monster?" Mash mumbled with fear.

Zuzia was disappointed that the guy was alive. But it quickly ignored him and flew back to Tyler.

She nuzzled her face against Tyler’s.

"Hahaha... Zuzia, you sleepy head. I almost forgot that you exist." Tyler laughed.

"Ouch"

Zuzia gave a small bite in his cheek for that response.

Tyler subconsciously tried to use his arm to touch his cheek. But his arms were already injured, so he felt intense pain.

Zuzia thought Tyler was in pain because of her bite. So she moved closer and licked the wound on his cheek.

"Thank You, girl. Now let’s face the problem now." Tyler said.

Meanwhile Lily Gomes who sneakily released Young Master Zhou and remaining Elders and disciples arrived with them near Tyler.

Now... It’s Crimson Blood Sect vs The Justice Bandits.
