Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!

Since he was alone and outnumbered, Lucius knew he couldn't afford to appear even the slightest bit weak.

Lucius knew that if he messed up or the group of bandits thought he was weak, he would be finished.

Sensing the terrifying moment Lucius gained from swiftly killing two of their companions and now seeing him stepping fearlessly towards them, the remaining bandits were terrified.

But even if they were scared they didn't dare run away.

Even if they knew that their boss was currently fighting Camilla, nobody wanted to take that risk.

If their boss lost then everything would be fine, but if he won then they would definitely be skinned alive and fed to the wolves.

To become a bandit in this day and age could only mean that you were a vicious desperado.

They would rather die in the hands of Lucius than be brutally tortured by their vicious boss!

Although the bandits showed some bravery, it had little effect at the end of the day.

Their morale was at a complete rock bottom, and besides the gap between them and the OP buffed Lucius wasn't something that could be bridged with just bravery and morale.

Lucius charged into the group of bandits like a wild wolf knocking over many of the slower and more unlucky bandits and Lucius want soft hearted either.

The unlucky bandits on the floor were mercilessly killed as Lucius's swords stabbed them in the back, throwing any sort of noble etiquette like respect for downed opponents to the dirt.

As Lucius defeated more bandits he grew more and more and more confident he expanded further and further causing the bandits to retreat farther away from him.

Lucius was confident and about to continue his attack when he suddenly turned pale

Feeling all of his abundant strength sap out of his body, Lucius's heart dropped.

Although he didn't dare show it in his face Lucius was extremely panicked!

Lucius turned back to look at Alice and his heart dropped even further when he saw that she was even more panicked than him, she couldn't even hide it!

Alice at this stage should just be a novice magician.

She hasn't mastered the ability to cast spells at a long range.

The second Lucius stopped chasing them and backed away, the bandits quickly realised something was wrong.

A bandit is a profession where your life is at risk and constantly dancing with death at the edge of a blade.

To survive as a bandit you have to have crafty instincts and even if you don't have them you would gain them after surviving a few years. The ones that didn't were all dead.

With their sharp instincts, it was impossible for Lucius to hide his situation from them.

Lucius also knew this and just grit his teeth as he lifted his sword in front of him and solidified his stance.

He couldn't run and even if he did what would happen to Alice that was behind him?

Even if he was going down, he wouldn't go out without a vicious fight.

His stats were still enough to take at least one more bandit down with him.

The crowd of red-eyes bandits didn't show any mercy and charged towards Lucius.

After Lucius had gone around slaughtering them like chickens now was time to have their revenge!

But right before the bandits could arrive at Lucius's side a furious voice sounded out, each word filled with an unparalleled amount of murderous intent

"Scum like you dares to touch the Young Leader."

As soon as the bandits heard the voice the most primal part of the human brain was stimulated to tell them one thing,

They were dead.

Panicked, all the bandits abandoned all thoughts of revenge and tried to flee but unfortunately for them, it was already too late.

A bright red line soon appeared on the necks of every single bandit.

They could only fall to the ground clutching their necks, the overwhelming fear still in their eyes.

Lucius's eyes didn't linger on this vicious scene and turned to the one woman behind it.

Camilla could be seen walking among the fallen corpses dragging the giant battered body of the bandit leader behind her.

Compared to her from only a few minutes ago, her once organised academy uniform was a mess as she was now completely soaked in blood as a pair of glaring purple eyes peeked out between her messy bangs.

Ordinarily, no matter how beautiful the girl was, such a sight would be enough to chill anyone's heart but in the eyes of Lucius, it couldn't be more beautiful.

This was his personal bodyguard!

As expected of a future heroine, her combat potential was no joke!

Thinking like this, Lucius couldn't help but look towards Alice.

Although Alice had played a big role, he wouldn't have even been able to survive without her buffs but if it was compared with Camila then Alice was a bit...

Seeing the debate look in Lucius's eyes couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She didn't know what he was thinking, but she could instinctively tell from the look alone that it wasn't something good.

But Lucius wasn't in the mood to care about Alice's little grievances and turned to face the bandit leader.

If it was a noble hero he would probably send him on the road to the afterlife after spitting a few self-righteous one liners.

Unfortunately, Lucius was extremely petty and couldn't let his enemy pass on in peace.

He was in the body of a villain after all, he may as well play the part.

Looking at the battered body of the Bandit Leader a cold sneer hung at the edge of his lip.

"You got the beauties you wanted so how was it? Did you enjoy it?"

Faced with Lucius's blatant taunts the Bandit leader's lips quivered in rage but the battered state of his body completely depleted his power turning his rage into a powerless feeling of helplessness.

"K..kill me.."
