Chapter 437: Dark Wizards (4) (1/2)
The white-robed Transcendent Nilo hurried off to a distance after I lifted the poison in his throat. With it removed, he let out a huge sigh of relief before standing up straight, vowing to relay the contents of the scroll to the members of the religious order that was following the Dark Wizards.
Well, as long as they leave the vicinity, the goal for presenting that was already achieved. We could take care of them but it would draw too much attention. Those Dark Wizards might escape if they witnessed these native Transcendents they cultivated die easily.
This way, that Nilo would be rallying his colleagues and they might even help us after confirming the content of that scroll when they saw the corpses.
Of course, there's a possibility that some of them were aware of the poison in their throats. No matter what, these Dark Wizards allowed them to reach Transcendence even if they hadn't finished their Mortal Pathway yet.
Sending them away like this was already the best possible outcome.
About the Mortal Ranks that came with us, we sent them to look for Hiroda and whoever's with him.
We couldn't take them with us after all. I at least gave them a communication crystal to contact me and they're updating me about their current situation.
At the moment, they had just ended a fight against a group of blue robes in their search for the citizens of the destroyed kingdom.
Since they're foreign-looking, I doubt they'll find Hiroda easily. Besides, I only sent them looking for that guy to not let them waste their time coming with us.
As soon as Nilo disappeared along with the numerous eyes from the four towers that were vigilantly observing us, I controlled the ship to descend in front of the cathedral.
I continued standing in front of the girls while I kept the act of someone from a higher standing, chin raised and brimming with confidence.
At the same time as that, my Energy Senses scanned inside to check who or what was waiting for us.
The cathedral was a small place but there's a wide space underground.
There was some kind of Energy Screen blocking my senses, preventing me to tally how many of them were lurking down there. Most likely they're also vigilant about us. We didn't emerge from Dark World's Portal and the girls behind me weren't exuding Dark Energy in their bodies.
The interior of the cathedral was also devoid of the method or device they were using to raise these natives' UPL.
Most likely, it was a protected secret. If it turns out to be something that we can also use, then our trip here will be a bit fruitful.
However, considering it didn't show up in other worlds, it's probably an exclusive method brought by these Dark Wizards to this world.
From what I learned about the different tribes from Irja and Alwyn, these Dark Wizards were possibly that tribe that got taken away from Great One Miyae.
Their Pathway was almost similar to Irja's Vibrant Spirit Pathway. The difference is that they're truly like wizards when attacking. Their Skills needed to be carefully molded for it to get their intended effect. And naturally, those skills were more destructive than Irja's machine gun-like activation of her attacks.
According to the two girls, over the years, to cover that shortcoming of long activation of their skills, they adopted a method by using some kind of tool that was similar to how Magical Formations were created in this world.
Nonetheless, it's not a perfect tool that could erase the weakness of their Pathway. Those tools could be easily destroyed and they couldn't be used indefinitely.
”Go all out. If they are really from that tribe. Make sure to stop them from using those Energy Tools that were only compatible with their Pathway. It looks like a thick plate. Shatter it right away so they could only use their Output Enhancing Equipment.” I reminded the girls before pushing the door open and stepping inside the cathedral.
If they're really that tribe then I will have to thank Irja and Alwyn later.
As soon as we stepped inside a green warning sign from my Adaptability appeared.
