Chapter 212: Dark ritual

“ 3 ”:>”

Ain an incoe double spiral tower It was giving out a strange buzzing noise that was hard tored runes pulsated whenever the noise was released Perhaps if the person was paying more attention he would have noticed that so from behind

Soon within a fraction of a second two arauntlets appeared from behind him One of the The robed figure's neck was being twisted causing his spine to be broken in quite the violent way

But with the weapon in his hand, he could retaliate Even though he couldn’t turn around to see as behind him, in a last-ditch effort he went for the stab Yet instead of flesh being torn a scraping sound was heard instead The dagger just slid off this arh the harder alloy

‘This seemed easier ina stealth kill fro spell Even though he earing heavy armor he had runic spells to shroud himself in the darkness The man that he ed to snap his neck thanks to his enhanced strength

‘I got the frouards near his location Everyone else was on the other side of this largethe illusory spell that kept everyone trapped and unable to fight back There were a lot of questions on his

First of all, some time had passed since the illusory trap had been activated This tiet out of it than before Time seemed to work differently in these illusory traps, perhaps due to the size of this relic, it was harder to awaken even when getting out through destroying the core rune

His willpower stat that should aid hi for the e runic object was involved It belonged to a cult of some kind of evil God, so he could only speculate that there was soic involved here

Due to hih ti with all the other people Yet when he was looking at the radar everyone seemed to be still alive

‘For some reason, they took everyone to that one location…’

While thinking Roland sneaked back towards the wagon he was stationed at Strangely enough, his backpack was still there along with Grisalde’s axe and his weapons The way to the inside of the wagon was open but it didn’t seem that these people were interested in their possessions

‘They didn’t take anything?’

These cultists weren’t acting like bandits, the people were alive and nothing seemed to have been moved All the weapons the soldiers had were still there, it even see Which was very confusing to Roland as he didn’t knohat they were trying to achieve Were they just going to co on here? These guys' ai people for some kind of ritual?’

After his run-in with the Abyssal cult all those years ago he started doing research There was notup as this cult was s of robed figures, there was not that much known about them

They seemed to work similarly to other evil God worshi+pers but were somehow able to erase most of their tracks This relic that caused immediate hallucinations was probably the reason for it Even tier 3 class holders were affected by thee had been in their grasp for a while now This relic didn’t just appear in the s looked unkept and the vegetation was overgrown Yet there were rohich made it hard to put a number on the auys able to ree supposed to be a waypoint for est question, ifwith their wares then this cult would have been quickly discovered Even this illusory relic needed to have a limit if too many people showed up it would probably be unable to affect everyone It was probably roups in ine a few scenarios in which they were able to evade discovery One of these scenarios would have so them erase their presence Another one was more far-fetched that involved mass hypnosis but one see this place alive

‘This would explain why they didn’t touch the wagons at all but ould they go through all of this just to release the captives in the end?’

He had no idea what these people were thinking and this was not the problem now A decision needed to be made, when the cultists were busy with the others he could just leave These people were certainly assured that their relic’s effect could not be broken They didn’t even bother to place any sentries to watch hi his way

While leaving was the obvious choice if he considered his own safety there was a problem with that The cultists would certainly track him down all the way to Albrook even if he reported it He had no idea of knoas in cahoots with these people and if anyone would believe him If his theory was true and these people actually turned up alive later, his statements would be questioned

‘shi+t…’

The biggest proble He was noted down as a Runic Mage that was taking a test It wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that it was him that escaped from here So even when he returned home in a few months he could receive a visit from his old tier 3 acquaintances

Thus if he wanted to get rid of any future cult shenanigans he would have to free the other adventurers from the spell Only if they confired to kill all of them, his involve to the bottom of what transpired? Certainly, they would but with so iven ave out a sigh while taking out the two spider drones fro with thee colored olee enhancer

While he had decided to see as going on here it didn’twould still be the only option left as he did not truly know the fighting capabilities of his enemies Yet there was one certainty, there were no tier 3 class holders here

One of the er assesse, he only detected high-level tier 2 ene somewhere but it was not probably Back in Albrook, he had tested his scanning systeuild master and some platinuerprint that was above the rest which th, just a way to est coathered in that one location behind the large spire

After the two goleiven specific instructions to remain hidden Luckily spells that canceled out sounds were not that hard to cooleh this field unnoticed

Just as ordered the spider drones skittered away into the night while quickly digging up holes into which they dropped a marble into Theout a faint glow that was quickly hidden by a thin layer of earth
