Out on hunt

Lucifer got up in the morning. He took a bath and wore the same black clothes. He was wearing a long black coat. He went into the hall. There Leona was sitting while drinking her tea.
“Oh, if you go like this, then those ladies on the streets or wherever you go. Those women will be having a really hard time resisting your charms.”
Leona saw him coming and teased him.
“How can you be so handsome?” seeing he remained unfazed by her comment, she complained about him to him.
(-_-)
”And, at least smile once for me. It's been a few weeks already since you have been staying with me. But I have never seen you smile.” She complained about him to him.
Lucifer closed and shook his head.
“I am going.” He said and left.
“All right.” She said, holding her hands back.
“Its been many days. He still doesn’t seem to open up. He always puts on an emotionless face and doesn’t talk much. Very unusual boy.” The maid who was standing beside Leona said when Lucifer disappeared from their sight.
“Why don’t we do something about this?” The Maid revealed a smile after saying that.
“You think!” Leona laughed to hear her say.
Lucifer walked out of the house and got on the horse which he took from the stables.
He rode to the guild, to look for some missions. It would be the best place to look for some action. For the past several days, he had been stuck in Lona's house. He did nothing but train with a sword.
He reached the guild office. He tied the horse to the stable.
He entered the guild office. He walked in and the attention turned towards him. As soon as he entered the office, he drew the attention of everyone present in the office. Men looked at him with jealousy and women looked at him, like they were in a hurry to talk to him and jump at him. He was simply as handsome as to attract the women around him.
Ignoring those gazes of men, Lucifer walked to the mission board. He looked for the missions to check for some interesting ones.
He stopped his eyes at a paper and picked the paper down. It was a mission to kill the bandits. The bandits who were robbing villages and killing them.
He inquired about the details of those bandits and came out.
He didn’t even see the level or prize money.
He took the horse and began riding to the gate.
Those bandits were always attacking the villages and looting them. They were acting in different parts of the villages and town. The exact number of the bandits was also not known.
He decided to go to the villages and ask them.
He passed the gate and the horse began running fast.
After riding for almost a day, he reached town. It was populated with a number of 300 to 500 people. He searched for a tavern and found one at the center of the town.
He went to the tavern to get information.
He approached the table. There was a middle-aged man behind the table.
“What can I get for you?” He said to Lucifer.
“Are there any sightings of bandits around here?” He asked him, placing a gold coin on the table.
The middle-aged man shined at seeing the gold coin. He blurted out, “They were seen a few days ago in the village which is a couple of miles ahead of our town.” Then he took the coin after Lucifer removed his finger from it.
“Do you think I can find them if I go there?” He asked him.
“Well, you can't find them.”
He moved a bit near him and said in a low voice, “They are active at night" and I heard a man talk about them. That they have a hideout near the orc layer.”
The orc layer was the place where Lucifer first fought with them, joining the army. But he didn’t know that the place was called the orc layer.
Then he asked her for directions. That man told him, as he was telling him, Lucifer remembered the path they came to the capital.
After he got the directions, he went out. He stayed in the town till dawn and began moving at dawn.
He reached the village which had been previously attacked. There were lights in the wooden houses. As it was night, Lucifer didn’t go to the village and passed through it without disturbing them.
He rode for several hours. As he was going, he suddenly saw a group of people riding a few horses. It was night, so the vision of Lucifer would be more efficient than during the day.
He followed them. He saw them entering a village.
As soon as they entered the village, A loud shout came from that side of the village.
Trrrrrr………….
Those people on the horses let out shouting with vicious smiles on their faces. It made the villagers fear them most and panic-struck them completely.
Then Lucifer slowly entered the village and stood in front of those people.
Those people were bandits. They all had big beards with shabby clothing. As Lucifer was standing in between them, it was the village.
“Who the f**k are you?” One of the bandits saw Lucifer and yelled in anger at him. Lucifer was sitting on his horse and in between the villagers and the bandits.
Those bandits saw Lucifer and his horse. His dress was also not like that one he wore in a village. So they thought that he was an outsider.
“Are you an adventurer? Some boy from a noble out on an adventure, ah.” Another bandit said. He was in front of all of them. He seemed to be the leader of the group.
“Kill this f**ker.” he gave the command to his men.
Then a man came running towards Lucifer with an axe held in his hand. He was about two metres tall with a heavy body.
Lucifer got down from his horse. That man had reached Lucifer and swung his axe at Lucifer.
Lucifer easily avoided the attack and kicked the man's abdomen. That man plunged back into the group, hitting their horses. It was a simple kick that made them fly out from the place where Lucifer was standing to their place.
“All of you, attack at the same time.” their leader ordered the remaining members.
The result was the same. Lucifer, without even using his sword, killed every single one of them.
The sweat formed on the forehead of the leader. He was shaking with fear and looking at the bodies of his members.
