This adventurer is overly righteous.

The other two adventurers were also filled with mixed thoughts. The situation was quite dire for them. Because they had propped up the front door with furniture, the only way out of the house was through the broken window behind Kroya.

This ordinary little house in the countryside is now like a closed arena; to escape, they must kill Kroya.

However, this is by no means an easy task. Adventurers will definitely carefully assess the strength of their opponents before taking action. They know that although Kroya has only been an adventurer for less than two months, his strength is by no means insignificant.

Because the opponent was able to wipe out goblin settlements of all sizes multiple times by himself. One or two times might be attributed to luck, but the number of goblin settlements wiped out by Kroya was far too many to be explained by luck alone.

It should be at least the strength of an elite-level adventurer.

They really didn't want to confront the other side directly unless necessary. In the operation to hunt Kroya, they existed as a "net" to restrict Kroya's movements and had no intention of engaging in a head-on confrontation.

Battles between humans are both complex and simple. An ordinary, experienced adventurer can be easily killed by an elite adventurer, but the situation changes drastically once the number of opponents increases.

Three experienced adventurers, if they cooperate well, may have a chance to confront elite adventurers head-on, but this is only if the opponent does not run away, they do not have any magical items, and their equipment quality is equal; even then, the chances are still very small.

Croatia, on the other hand, is now fully armed, giving them an overwhelming advantage in equipment. The situation is unfavorable for them, and they should avoid conflict as much as possible.

If they were confident of taking down Croa, they would certainly not consider avoiding conflict; on the contrary, they would be eager to fight Croa.

However, to the two adventurers' surprise, Kroya's sword broke the adventurer's sword in two. The two swords clashed without making a sound. Kroya's sword passed through the adventurer's sword as if it were butter, and its momentum did not diminish.

"Zi"

Time seemed to stand still. No one moved. The air was filled with the sound of heavy rain and howling wind. Kroya's sword slashed down from the upper right and came to rest on the other side of the adventurer's body. The blade was not stained with blood, as if it had just been an illusion.

However, the adventurer's sword fell from his hand and broke in two, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror. Kroya sheathed the sword, turned the blade around, and walked towards the other two adventurers, the blade pointing directly at them.

"Snap"

The adventurer's body slid down as Kroya walked by, his entire body split open diagonally, his internal organs clearly visible and severed. The upper half of his body slid down the cut surface, blood flowing everywhere, the sound of it hitting the ground dull and terrifying.

Kroya wielded a sword forged by dwarves. These great craftsmen possessed techniques that human blacksmiths lacked, enabling them to make weapons crafted from the same ore even sharper and harder.

When choosing a sword, Kroya emphasized to Lejin that he needed a sword strong enough to withstand magic. Therefore, the sword Lejin chose for Kroya was one mixed with a little mithril.

Only dwarves know how to make mithril, which is an excellent forging material. Even just adding some powder during the forging process can increase the strength of a weapon. Ordinary adventurers' weapons would never contain mithril, because it is too expensive.

The sword strike that Kroya unleashed consumed two units of his magic power. The increased magic power amplified the power of the sword strike, and with these combined factors, the adventurer was cleaved in two by Kroya's sword.

Kroya could tell that the adventurer had adjusted his sword midway through the encounter, seemingly to adopt a defensive stance, or perhaps to show friendliness in order to communicate and resolve the matter peacefully.

He just hadn't expected that the sword Kroya swung would be so powerful. If he had known, he would have jumped back to avoid the attack.

"But, isn't murder punishable by death?"

"Kroya said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the two adventurers who were backing away until their backs were pressed against the wall.

He has no intention of reconciliation; he has no intention of letting these people go.

The deaths of innocent people are always heartbreaking, but Croa had a good sword, so this sorrow turned into anger. He was angry, Croa was angry.

"Wait, Kroya! We have no grudge against you! Why did you kill our companions? You wanted to kill us from the very beginning! What's your reason?!"

The two adventurers felt a fear they had never experienced before. At this moment, unless they could push down the wall behind them, there was no way out. Facing Kroya head-on would only lead to a repeat of the tragic fate of their companions.

The internal organs of the two severed corpses spilled onto the ground, and various foul-smelling bodily fluids flowed everywhere. The thought that their own fate might be the same filled the two adventurers with fear. They were not afraid of killing, but they were afraid of being killed.

Reconciliation is their only option for survival, and fortunately, they have some trump cards up their sleeve.

"We have some very important information that concerns you!"

They began to shout, throwing down their swords to show their complete lack of resistance, their expressions both ugly and obsequious.

"You can't just kill us. We can tell you the information, but in exchange, you have to let us go. After all, we've never offended you, and we know you're a moral and trustworthy person..."

"Tell me about it?" Kroya lowered the blade of his sword a few degrees, as if relaxing and wanting to give the two adventurers a chance.

"Okay, we'll tell you." Seeing that Kroya seemed to be willing to give them a chance, they eagerly began to speak.

"An adventurer with a scar on his face is leading a group of adventurers to kidnap you. His name is Henry, and he wants to extort ransom from your family."

"There are fifteen of them in total..."

The two adventurers eagerly shared everything they knew with Kroya to demonstrate their sincerity. At the same time, they both deliberately distanced themselves from the event, disguising themselves as bystanders.

"According to the contract, you should spare our lives..."

After saying this, the two adventurers looked at Kroya cautiously, hoping that he wouldn't go back on his word.

"I will not break the contract, therefore I will not kill you casually." Kroya nodded, which relieved the two adventurers.

"But you will still have to pay the price for your actions."

Before the two adventurers could react, Croa knocked them unconscious, tied their hands and feet, opened the door, and called for Perez.

Kroya could let them go because they had no real grudge against him, but that wasn't the main reason.

The most important reason is that even if Croa lets them go, there are still laws that can punish them, and Perez is right outside the house; he has the right to deal with the murderer who killed his father, and Croa leaves that opportunity to him.
