Sai waited for the twins to attack. He knew their level represented how dangerous they were and there was seven level difference between himself and the twins.
Red haired boy twin then said, “Before we capture you. My name is Kay and this is my sister Mahina. We have some question we want to ask you.”
“We can capture him first and grill him on all the juicy details,” Mahina suggested.
“We always end up going too far in fights. Do you really want to get the answers from a dead body? Well deadman tells no tales. We will be boat without a paddle and still stuck with the same issue. Not only did we not do our job, we also lost the biggest treasure we could ever come across,” Kay replied.
Sai decided to ignore the banter and aimed to kill the Demon that was terrorizing the knights and mages.
Sai dashed forward toward the Demon.
Sai had to suddenly stop, a building was blocking his way. Strangely, there had been no such building separating him from the Demon earlier. He didn't sense any teleportation occurring, although he could recall only one instance when he might have been transported, which was when he was initially summoned to this realm. Back then, he felt dizziness and wrongness from the experience.
“Huh?” Sai was confused. Why was he in front of a building? The building was interconnected which meant they stood closely linked. Making it more absurd that they moved to block his path.
Sai turned to look at the surroundings and found that the Fatman Abomination Demon was still fighting against the knights and adventures. It was the same people fighting the demon he didn't move much.
The twins were walking toward him.
Mahina shook her head and said. “How rude, running away from us while we still decided what to do with you. No matter where you go, you won’t escape from us.”
Kay wagged his fingers and said, “Don’t be so impatient. Do you even know how bothersome it would be to find you again? Don’t make my job more difficult and disappear from us again.”
Mahina clapped her hands excitedly and then said.“Oh I have a wonderful idea, let me kill him a little. All the trouble the Hero made for running away has me in a stabby mood.”
“At least let's get our answers from him first. I don’t want to waste this golden opportunity when the treasure is so close,” Kay replied.
“Can you please let me go and kill the Demon?” Sai asked.
Mahina gave a wink and said, “No, you're going to stay there. We have you the right way we want you to be.”
“Let me at least ask you. Where did you hide the 135 million coins you stole?” Kay asked.
“Why would I even steal that much money?” Sai asked.
“I can do so much with that kind of dough,” Mahina said dreamily. “Live in a mansion. Have maids do all my cleaning and cooking. Eat delicious food. Buy all the pretty dresses I ever want.”
“We know you stole it. The day that you ran away, was the day that the Royal Vault was emptied of coins,” Kay said. “Have you been planning this as the act of revenge for getting your heartbroken by the Princess.”
“What?” Sai looked at the pair of twins with a pained expression. Just the image of him with a Princess gave him an immense amount of hatred, disgust and regret. “Look, I didn’t take the money from the Royal Vault.”
Mahina then asked, “Don’t you have a romantic interest in the Princess and get horribly rejected?”
Sai gave a smile. “My biggest regret is that I didn’t punch her in the face.”
Mahina's smile only grew bigger. “You don’t know! How hilarious. Do you want to hear the punchline? Like the Great Fairies wrote your story with a funny twist. The Princess is so desperate.”
“It’s more sad than funny...” Kay had a frown. : ( .
Sai rushed ahead, his fist poised to strike the twins.
Sai found himself positioned in the middle of the streets, far from reaching the twins.
Sai pondered the situation. Was it teleportation, a wormhole, or perhaps twisting space? The distance he had covered seemed nearly identical to his starting point. To understand this strange phenomenon better, he decided to test it more.
The twins didn’t give Sai time to ponder the issue.
Before Sai could even react, Kay and Mahina was infront of him, swiftly swinging their swords.
Clang!
Sai's chest bore the brunt of the twins' blades, their assault so quick that he couldn't even muster a reaction.
His armor was torn apart by their swords, yet the blades themselves shattered against Sai's incredibly resilient skin. The sheer force of the attack propelled Sai through the air until he collided forcefully with the building's wall, leaving a human-shaped cavity.
“That was way too fast!” Sai said as his expression turned grim. He couldn't come close to matching the twins' speed; their movements were a blur, leaving him incapable of responding.
Sai started to rub his exposed chest, “That hurt?” Sai was surprised he could even be hurt. His Durability was crazy high.
“You got hurt?” Slither asked. “Wow, these kids are strong. Just listen to me, I have a plan.”
“My baby! He killed my baby!” Kay cried out looking at his broken sword and weeping strongly. Kay cradled his sword in his hand as he bent down and picked up the pieces.
“I can’t stand your whining,” Mahina had a portal behind her as she retrieved new swords and handed one to her brother. “Get up, we need to take him down.”
Kay wiped the tears off his face, he slowly stopped crying as he grabbed the sword to continue the battle.
Mahina and Kay both charged at Sai.
Flash. A light so intense it blinded both of the twins.
When Mahina and Kay opened their eyes they lost Sai.
“He ran away!” Kay shouted in dismay.
----
Sai was running through the alleyways and turning in the streets. “Do you know if those twins have space powers?! One of their abilities is to transport me to different places,” Sai asked Slither.
“I think I know how they are messing with you,” Slither said. “They are making you Lost. So if you go straight your sense of direction will make you go right and even though you think you're going straight.”
“So they are giving me the sense of direction like Zoro from One Piece!?! How do I beat it!” Sai asked.
“Don’t know,” Slither answered.
Sai had to stop or he would have collided with a tree. Sai had an ominous feeling. “They found me.”
Sai turned around and faced his enemy.
Kay was in front of him with his sword pointed straight toward Sai's chest.
A magic light wall was summoned to protect Sai by Slither.
Kay was instantly in front of Sai thrusting his sword at him. With a heavy bang sound and the light wall was shattered by Kay sword. The sword was still moving forward to impale Sai's chest.
Sai was trying to take a side step. Instead he moved forward toward the strike. He caught his mistake in time and angled his upper body to the right allowing the sword to miss him.
Reacting swiftly, Sai launched a rapid jab at Kay, who managed to retract his sword just in time, using it to parry the jab. The resounding clash of metal echoed through the surroundings as Sai's super hard fist effortlessly shattered Kay's sword.
Kay quickly withdrew to a safe distance, ensuring he was beyond Sai's reach, preventing any chance of getting struck by Sai's formidable fists. With a frustrated expression, he cast an annoyed glance at his shattered sword and quipped, "Could you do me a favor? Quit destroying my swords! These are expensive, you know! Just how insanely high is your Durability attribute!"
Sai smiled and said proudly, "It is over 200."
Slither hissed out, "Don't tell him that, he's the enemy!"
Sai replied, "True, but it's also demoralizing to him. Just look at how crushed he looks."
Kay had resigned looks on his face. “Now I just don’t want to fight you. Just imagining how many of our precious swords we are going to lose to overpowered your defense makes me queasy and sick to my stomach.”
Mahina joined and stood next to Kay and hitted her brother on the back of the head. “He’s not invincible. He only has a high defense. We can always just replace the swords.”
Kay looked horrified at his sister. “We can’t just replace the swords! They hold emotional value! They saved my hide so many times. We had no one else to turn to, they never let us down. Now you want to let this sword destroying fiend kill my babies!”
“Stop embarrassing us! We are looking like crying babies to him! Come lets take down the Corrupt Hero that has been terrorizing Sapphire Principality. The Princess will reward us handsomely. Then you can buy as many swords as you want,” Mahina suggested.
“This is all your fault! You should have been a mage and not a swordsman! But nnnooo, magic is too difficult for you!” Kay yelled.
“You should have been the mage! No one was stopping you!” Mahina yelled back.
“I don’t have the talent for magic either! I couldn’t even do the beginners magic!” Kay said.
Sai tried to step back, but he ended up stepping to the right. Sai sighed, the Lost effect really did make sense of direction beyond terrible.
“We need to stop the Hero, he’s trying to escape,” Mahina said. Pulling out another sword and handing him to Kay.
Kay grabbed the sword reluctantly. “We need a Master or atleast Melissa to overpower his insane Durability. This Hero is going to be painful to defeat.”
Mahina smiled wickedly. “I love a challenge!”
Sai crossed his arms. Activated his Slow enchantment on his Soul Armament. He was going to need it to keep up with the twin super speed.
Slither summoned a light wall to block the twin’s combined attacks.
Kay moved at a sound breaking speed, he was infront of the light wall and sliced through the obstacle with ease.
Mahina was infront of Sai and sent a sword slash, a quick and powerful sword slice that broke her sword on impacting Sai crossed arm and sent Sai hurling back in the air.
Kay was already infront of Sai who was hurling through the air and delivered his own slice. Kay broke his own swords as Sai was tossed faster through the air.
Mahina and Kay were moving slower.
Sai could finally follow their movement.
Mahina quickly got two more swords from a portal. Tossing one of the to her brother, who caught it while both were heading toward Sai.
Sai came to an abrupt halt in mid-air, firmly planting his feet on the ground, causing a minor disturbance as some dust and dirt settled from his aerial deceleration.
Sai was moving left, right, forward, backwards. The Lost effect was still messing with his sense of directions. But he was going to make it easier for the twins to hit him anymore.
Slither created illusionary clones of Sai as they looped in a pattern where Sai was standing.
Kay and Mahina attacked in unison, slashing at Sai. They missed and hit an illusionary Sai.
Sai sent a quick jab at Kay.
Mahina blocked Kay with her sword, her sword shattered from Sai jab.
Kay swung his swords down on Sai from above.
Sai crossed his arms above his head to block the attack.
Kay abruptly halted his sword mid-swing and executed a swift backflip, positioning his weapon to slash upward at Sai, aiming to cleave him in two.
In response, Sai swiftly interlocked his fingers and forcefully drove them down against the ascending sword.
The impact resulted in Kay's sword shattering from the powerful two-handed strike, causing Sai to grimace in pain.
Positioned behind Sai, Mahina attempted to sever his head with a swift blade stroke. A protective light wall emerged to obstruct the attack, but the blade shattered the light wall and continued its course toward Sai's neck.
Sai swiftly evaded Mahina's assault by ducking, and in a swift countermove, he executed a powerful donkey kick aimed at her.
Mahina skillfully parried the incoming donkey kick from Sai, causing her to be pushed back in response.
Mahina retrieved three swords from a portal and tossed two of them to her brother, who now wielded a pair of swords.
Mahina held two swords in her grasp.
Mahina then initiated the charge, hurtling towards Sai with her dual blades, spinning like a lethal tornado.
Following suit, Kay also sprinted toward Sai, mirroring his sister's intensity as he spun with his two swords.
Sai executed a swift, low, spinning sweep kick that struck Mahina's feet with precision, causing her to lose her balance and tumble to the ground.
Meanwhile, Slither created a light wall to slow down Kay's attack.
Seizing the opportunity, Sai grasped Mahina by the ankle and swung her like a makeshift club, slamming her into her siblings, who were taken by surprise.
Both Mahina and Kay were sent soaring through the air, crashing onto the ground.
The twins quickly got up and looked fed up with Sai.
Mahina and Kay charged toward Sai with unbridled rage, launching a furious assault.
The moment a light wall materialized, it was torn to shreds.
Mahina delivered a sword slash that struck Sai, propelling him backward. However, her sword snapped in the process.
Following her, Kay also landed a sword slash on Sai, continuing to force him backward, but his own sword broke as well.
Sai winced in pain from the relentless attacks.
The twins displayed unyielding determination, forming a relentless cycle where Kay and Mahina alternated striking Sai, continually driving him backward under their relentless barrage.
Sai found himself unable to mount an effective defense, repeatedly cut by their blades.
Even Slither's attempts with light walls, illusions, and bright flashes failed to dissuade the twins from their relentless assault.
Sai's own counterattacks, whether kicks or punches, proved futile.
Sai was bleeding, and his durability was gradually wearing down as he sustained more injuries.
Recognizing the need to disrupt the relentless assault, Sai decided to break the cycle of the twins' attacks. He employed his Cloud Step technique to ascend into the air, steadily ascending to greater heights.
Kay leaped into the air, executing a downward sword slash.
In response, Slither generated a light wall, which successfully slowed down Kay's attack.
This provided Sai with an opportunity. He delivered a forceful jab toward Kay's incoming sword, effortlessly shattering Kay's blade.
While airborne, Kay couldn't maneuver with the same agility as he could on the ground.
Sai followed up with a powerful punch to Kay's stomach, causing his armor to break, and his fist landed with a resounding impact.
Kay emitted a retching sound as he was sent hurtling backward, falling and heading for a collision with the ground.
Sai had an epiphany at that moment. While the twins were evidently stronger and faster than he was, their durability appeared lacking, likely relying on their armor for protection against harm.
“Brother!” Mahina catches her brother who was falling from the air.
“You monster!” Mahina screams and places her brother gently on the ground.
Sai lowers to the ground.
As Mahina prepared to dash forward, Sai materialized in front of her. Mahina attempted to strike Sai with a slash, only to discover that the Sai before her was merely an illusion.
The real Sai swiftly delivered a punch to Mahina's abdomen. The impact shattered her armor and sank deep into her stomach. Mahina was sent soaring through the air, crashing violently into the ground. Although she remained conscious, the extent of her injuries prevented her from getting back on her feet.
“Good we won,” Slither said happily.
“Yeah,” Sai said as he took out a potion and drank it. The potion tasted sweet. The cuts on his body were being healed. “Clarissa makes great potions.”
Sai advances toward Kay's unconscious form.
"Don't lay a hand on him!" Mahina cries out in desperation.
Sai pays no heed to her, gently lifting Kay's body and positioning him against a nearby building.
Sai then approaches Mahina, who visibly recoils from his gaze. He lifts Mahina and situates her next to her brother.
"I know I'm strong, but you two seem too lightweight. Are you getting enough to eat?" Sai asked.
"Why aren't you killing us? We tried to kill you!" Mahina exclaims.
"Because I am kind, generous, and a good person. The main reason is because you two are children. I feel bad for killing rabbits. I'd rather not have the trauma of killing children on my conscience," Sai explains.
"You're a coward," Mahina retorts.
Sai simply shrugs. He has never taken another human life, and while he is prepared to eliminate truly evil human beings, these children appear to be more misguided than truly evil. He believes that an ordinary person would find it nearly impossible to kill a child.
However, Sai still maintains that those who wrong others should face consequences. "Misbehaving children must be disciplined," he adds with a sinister grin. "Hand over 100,000 coins, or I'll break both you and your brother's legs."
Mahina clenches her teeth, hurling insults at Sai. "You monster, pervert, bully. Do you get a kick out of hurting little girls?"
Sai nonchalantly shrugs again. "You are still trying to kill me and deserve punishment. I'm not feeling particularly forgiving, so I'll tack on an extra 100 swords to my demand. I'm sure the demons and Horned Dogs swarming about, would find you as easy prey with your injuries and two broken legs."
Mahina defiantly at Sai. “I am not doing it. You can take your demand and jump off a cliff.”
Sai gave a sinister smile. “Are you going to let your brother die?”
Mahina glares at Sai with intense hatred. Realizing she and her brother are within Sai mercy. With great reluctance she eventually hands over 100,000 coins and 100 swords. Sai proceeds to break all the swords in front of Mahina.
Kay woke up while Sai was in the process of breaking the swords and cried in anguish as the swords were being broken in front of him.
Sai felt he was truly a Hero like Robbing Hood.
Sai waited for the twins to attack. He knew their level represented how dangerous they were and there was seven level difference between himself and the twins.
Red haired boy twin then said, “Before we capture you. My name is Kay and this is my sister Mahina. We have some question we want to ask you.”
“We can capture him first and grill him on all the juicy details,” Mahina suggested.

Sai nonchalantly shrugs again. "You are still trying to kill me and deserve punishment. I'm not feeling particularly forgiving, so I'll tack on an extra 100 swords to my demand. I'm sure the demons and Horned Dogs swarming about, would find you as easy prey with your injuries and two broken legs."
Mahina defiantly at Sai. “I am not doing it. You can take your demand and jump off a cliff.”
Sai gave a sinister smile. “Are you going to let your brother die?”
Mahina glares at Sai with intense hatred. Realizing she and her brother are within Sai mercy. With great reluctance she eventually hands over 100,000 coins and 100 swords. Sai proceeds to break all the swords in front of Mahina.
Kay woke up while Sai was in the process of breaking the swords and cried in anguish as the swords were being broken in front of him.
Sai felt he was truly a Hero like Robbing Hood.
