"Alright, so just like you guys have Tiers in the leveling realm, there are different stages for a Transcendent as well, those are called Cleansings."
"I won't be explaining what exactly a Cleansing is, or what it ans, but all you need to know is that there are a total of 5 of them, which ans that this little thing can kill most Transcendents," Drayce said before giving Beast the dagger back.
"As for using it to kill , well I'm afraid I have to let you down, that dagger is unable to kill ," Drayce said with a wide smile as he looked at Reign and the others.
Reign and the others stared at Drayce with a slight shock, they had been completely unaware of the stages of Transcendents, so this was the first ti they have heard that there are 5 in total. That ant that this little dagger they had was even more valuable than they thought.
"Anyway, I sincerely doubt that the temple can give you guys anything you need, all of you have fighting styles that are quite different from our battlemonks, the only one that has so similarity with them is Greenie, but a Vajra ogre practicing in a temple is, well, not allowed.
"Huh, why?" Greenie asked as he looked at Drayce with confusion.
"Well, the Temple is one of many in the universe, this one follows the teachings of the Ashen One, a Supre of the Universe, and Vajra and he are not really on good terms," Said Drayce before continuing on, "Don't get wrong, they're not enemies or anything like that, but they just don't see eye to eye, which ans that Vajra would be quite upset if you tried learning here, hell, he might even decide to outright kill you if he learns that you practiced after finding this out."
"Oh, then yes, I won't stay here," Greenie said as he turned around to leave, which made Drayce laugh in amusent.
"You don't need to leave, you just can't follow the teachings, but staying in the temple, conversing with others, that's all fine, you don't need to worry about such things,"Drayce said before standing up from his chair.
"Anyway, although the temple won't be useful for you guys personally, the people in your territory stand to gain a lot, not only a new class and thods of fighting, but they will now have a chance to interact with one of the powerful organizations in the universe, that's sothing only a rare few can do," Drayce said before stopping in front of Reign and the others.
"I would have called you guys over to join the temple as well, but you guys have already been marked, any organization that tries to win you over at this point will be slapping the face of the god that marked you, so there's that," Drayce said before opening the door of the office.
"Alright, off you go, go and train, fight, and get stronger, I can't wait to see you guys at the next challenge."
Reign and the others stared at Drayce as chills went down their spines. They went out of the office and left the temple. Overall, they had gained a lot from this challenge, not only did they do another sparring session with Drayce, but they had gained an item that most Transcendents would kill to have.
They also now knew the different stages of the Transcendent realm, and although that doesn't help them in any way right now, it would in the future.
Wolf said goodbye and headed to the prison. He had managed to get information out of all the prisoners, and those that hadn't done bad to the territory were already let out, so decided to stay in the territory, while others decided to go back from where they ca from.
But the one problem Wolf still had was the draif leader. The boss-ranked monster was incredibly difficult to work with. Even after Wolf had done all sorts of things that would make even the toughest of n cry in pain and beg for rcy, the draif leader still didn't relent.
This would be the last ti Wolf would try to force the draif to submit, otherwise, they would simply kill it. The territory was much more powerful now, and in all honesty, Reign's previous plan was not sothing they needed after Reign managed to obtain the [ All Seeing Eye ], he could observe the whole territory with ease.
Having the draif's would make a lot of stuff easier, but it was not as important as other things.
Wolf pulled the draif out of its cell and went inside the interrogation chamber. He spent the next two hours with the draif, the cries of pain reverberated through the prison as the draif's cries smothered out all other sounds.
The prisoners had gotten used to this, well, as much as one could get used to hearing such screams. It had been going on for quite so ti now and they knew that Wolf was always upset after since the draif would not relent.
After two hours of non-stop torturing, Wolf stopped. He stared at the draif whose eyes were still sharp and stared back at him with hatred. He sighed, aware that there was no way to get this guy over to their side.
Wolf called Reign over and the latter arrived in a minute. The two talked, thinking about how to do this exactly.
"In the center?" Reign asked Wolf as he stared at him with great confusion.
"Yes, give out weapons and let everybody take a swing or stab, the draifs had done a lot of damage and killed many of our people, letting them kill the leader of the draifs should allow them to blow out so steam and beco even more gratified to us."
"And who knows, they might even get so exp or levels after killing the leader, it is a powerful boss-ranked monster on the verge of becoming Tier I after all.
Reign decided to do what Wolf had proposed. They chained the draif up in mana-draining chains before dragging it out of the prison all the way to the center of the territory where the larger amount of people was located at.
The people all stared at Wolf and Reign, confused as to why they were dragging around the draif. They all knew that this was the leader of the draifs and that Reign was planning on doing sothing with it, but all of them were unaware of what exactly he was going to do.
Upon seeing how Reign and Wolf put the draif leader on the ground, they all stood and wondered what was about to happen. Suddenly Reign waved his hands as weapons suddenly fell to the ground.
"This is the draif leader, the one that had led the draifs to harass and kill our people when I and the others were gone, I wanted to see if we can sohow co to an agreent with it, but it seems that's impossible, so the only choice we have left is to kill it."
"Whoever wants to kill the draif can step out, all of the weapons you see on the ground are rank B and rank A, they are sharp enough to cut through the monster's skin, it can't use mana because of the chains, so you can all be rest assured that it's unable to do anything to you."
"In the case of the draifs sohow attacking, and Wolf are here, ready to put him down at any mont."
Silence.
There was complete and utter silence in the center of the territory. Most of the people here were those that decided to beco rchants or craftsn and even though so had fought and killed monsters at the beginning of the ga, that was a long ti ago.
The very notion of them picking up weapons and killing a monster right here was bizarre to them. But that was only to so.
A young boy stepped out first, he was no more than 10 years old, his legs were shaking a bit, but his eyes were sharp. He picked up a sword and walked towards the draif leader as the latter stared at him.
"You, you, youuu!" The boy yelled out.
"You killed my brother, you monsters, you killed him!" The boy shouted as he lifted the sword up before slashing down at the draif. The boy barely had any strength, the sword had managed to cut through, but it barely did any damage to the draif.
That wasn't the end, however, as the boy continued to slash at him.
More people suddenly ca out, there were old n, young players that went out to fight, young girls, middle-aged mothers…
All of them were those that had lost people they cared about to monsters.
So lost them at the beginning of the ga, while others had lost them recently. All of them had one thing in common, incredible hatred towards most monsters.
They picked up the weapons and went forward. The draif yelled out in pain and anger, but it didn't stop the people who were cutting him apart.
