92 The Culpri (1/2)

”I'd better get out of here before someone comes.” Rainer thought as he cleared his tracks from the battlefield.

If someone discovered his involvement in the struggle, who knows what could happen to him in order to know the truth.

Hanging from a fissure, a tiny leather bag swayed and threatened to fall into the void created by the zombie's stamp.

Rainer approached the fissure and picked up the bag.

The bag was badly damaged but part of an intricate design could be seen on its surface.

The formation that protected its contents had been destroyed during the savage fight and now anyone was free to use it.

Rainer used a thread of his spiritual energy to open the storage bag and drain its contents into the ground.

Jackpot!

Sparkles came out of Rainer's eyes after checking the bag's contents, it was full of all kinds of spiritual herbs!

”Lionheart Fruit, Millennial Willow Leaves, Spiritual Blood Grass, there's even a Renaissance Grass!”

Herb after spiritual herb appeared from the bottomless hole until it formed a small mountain, if its former owner, Kirios, knew that all his effort would end up in Rainer's hands, he would have devoured our protagonist alive.

”There are traces of struggle in this area!” Several voices sounded inside the forest, Rainer quickly picked everything up and left before anyone arrived.

Of course, Rainer did not forget to throw Kirios' bag into the abyss to avoid any kind of suspicion.

Whoosh!

Several Elders came to the scene to find a lifeless dry wasteland.

”Wasn't this area the swamp where we left that alligator alive?” Asked one of the elders.

The three elders wore black tunics and hoods, they were the ones who punished those who broke the sect's rules and killed traitors.

An oppressive aura formed around them.

They were the Enforcers!

”There is a dense and rich residual spiritual energy in this area, someone made a breakthrough not long time ago.”

”Yes, and with such destruction, whoever managed to breakthrough should be at least in the Core Fragmentation stage, only the elders would be capable of something like that...”
