Arthur held up the bleeding Bandit's body, as he watched the two sleeping Bandits with sharp eyes. He needed for this bandit to die before he could move on.

He knew the moment, he let down the body, the two sleeping Bandits might detect it.
'Let's just hope they think the noise was made by their companion.' Arthur thought to himself.

A few seconds later, life left the Bandit's eyes rewarding Arthur.

>Player Arzhur has obtained 5% Experience<
Now came the risky part, Arthur needed to be fast if he were to have the most advantage.
'At least the two are still sleeping.' Arthur had seen them shift a couple of times, but they were still asleep.
He carefully lowered the body of the Bandit while red blood dripped down his own. It was clear that he would have to replace his clothes once more after this.
~thud~
With a low thud, the Bandit's body was laid down.
~groan~
It still seemed to elicit a response from the sleeping bandits, as one of them shifted.
As soon as Arthur saw that, he sprang into action. Leaving his short sword stuck in the neck of the dead bandit he leaped like a leopard and pounced onto the sleeping Bandits.
Drawing out the two axes, he swung them together.
"WHAT!" One of the bandits had sensed the sudden moment and opened his eyes, his shout alerting the other too.
But all he saw was an Axe rapidly approaching, an Axe that he was familiar with.
~CRACK~
The skull of the bandit was cracked open, the Axe burying itself in his brain.

~SNAP~
>The Rusty Bandit Axe has been broken!<
The force of the attack was enough to break the Axe as well.
"Haaa!" but the second Axe had missed its mark, the Bandit rolling away at the last moment.
Arthur glared at the bandit, his heart pounding like crazy. And yet, his eyes were incredibly still, as a hunter eyeing his prey.
"How dare—" Before the bandit could speak, Arthur rushed at him, the second Axe tearing through the air.
~THUD~
The Bandit managed to dodge at the last moment, the Axe missing him and striking a tree behind him instead.
>The Rusty Bandit Axe has been broken!<
The second weapon was also broken, leaving Arthur without a proper weapon to use. His Black Tear Short Sword was also away from him, reducing his options.
"Fisticuffs it is!" Arthur didn't falter.
"You think you can kill me!" The Bandit was furious.
He too swung his arms, intending to fight Arthur.

Both struck at almost the same time, Arthur's fist hitting the Bandit in his side while the Bandit's struck him on his chest.
"Ugh…" Arthur groaned from the impact but knew better than to lose focus. 'It's not like I haven't had unarmed fights before!' he reminded himself.

A flurry of punches was launched, the two men embroiled in a brawl.
"AHH! I'll kill you!" The Bandit grabbed onto Arthur and pushed him back, causing both of them to stumble.
~thud~
"Shit!" Arthur was now on the bottom, the weight of the Bandit pressing him down.

"For this!"
The Bandit pummeled Arthur while he was pinned to the ground.
"HAAAH!" Arthur suddenly pulled out whatever he could from his satchel bag, thrusting it towards the Bandit.
"ARGH! YOU SON OF A BITCH!" The Bandit cursed, a stinging pain rising from his flank.
[-10% HP] [Bandit]
One of the claws of the Giant Dire Rat had been stabbed into his left flank.
"Fuck off!" The momentary pain gave Arthur the chance to shift, his knee moving.
"AHHHHHHH!" The bandit felt pain several times greater than before; like lightning crawling up from his groin.

Pivoting his weight, Arthur pushed the Bandit off allowing him to act freely.
"DIE!" Pulling out another claw from the bag, Arthur stabbed it into the eye of the Bandit.

"AHH!!!!" both the Bandit and Arthur shouted, one shouting in pain and the other in fury.
Arthur repeatedly stabbed the man, leaving multiple bloodied holes in his face, neck and chest.

Finally, the battle was over, the last bandit dying under Arthur's flurry of stabs.
"Haa…. Haa… HAA…" Arthur fell to the ground, his body aching dully.
He was exhausted and out of breath, his Stamina hovering around the twenty percent mark.
"That was… exhilarating…" Arthur muttered while wiping away the blood from his face.
A lot of it had splattered onto his face, and was dripping down his forehead.
He lay on the ground for a few minutes, letting his stamina recover and his breath calm down as well.
"Ugh…" Arthur let out a groan as he stood up, taking a look at his handiwork.
Three corpses were laid near him, all ripe for the taking.

>Player Arzhur has obtained 15 coppers<
>Player Arzhur has obtained 3 coppers<
"These guys basically have nothing else on them." Arthur put away the coins.
If normal players fought them, they might not make much in terms of loot and may even lose out a bit. After all, their equipment would get damaged in the fight and they would have to pay to get it fixed.
"Though…" Arthur turned to look at the little tent they had. "All's not lost yet."
He searched through the tent, hoping to find something.
>Player Arzhur has found a Bandit Letter!<
"There we go!" And sure enough, he certainly found something.
