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 mbers 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 so 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 outco.
About the Mortal Ranks that ca 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 and they're updating about their current situation.
At the mont, 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 ti coming with us.
As soon as Nilo disappeared along with the nurous 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 soone from a higher standing, chin raised and brimming with confidence.
At the sa ti 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 so kind of Energy Screen blocking my senses, preventing to tally how many of them were lurking down there. Most likely they're also vigilant about us. We didn't erge from Dark World's Portal and the girls behind weren't exuding Dark Energy in their bodies.
The interior of the cathedral was also devoid of the thod or device they were using to raise these natives' UPL.
Most likely, it was a protected secret. If it turns out to be sothing 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 thod 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 thod by using so 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 Equipnt." 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.
From below our feet, a Formation lit up as a cage made of Energy entrapped us inside.
[You stepped inside an Energy Restricting Formation]
[Due to your Adaptability, the Formation is only 30% effective]
It's like the Chains but this one's an area-of-effect one.
Nonetheless, it's still ineffective to . I could focus my Nullification Zone by utilizing my Energy Manipulation to open a hole that would be able to let us out.
The five won grew vigilant because they also felt the effect and without Adaptability, they could only resist so of its effects. However, upon seeing that I have no reaction to it, they all cald down.
After a while, the welcoming party the Dark Wizards sent appeared before us, erging from the underground space.
Two Dark World Transcendents wearing glossy black robes with a small crown-like ornant atop their heads.
Estimating from the energy their bodies were exuding, they're at least 200 UPL.
"We apologize for the Restricting Formation. We sent a group led by a Golden Robe to welco you but they all died an untily death. And now, you arrived here using their ship, what could that an?" One of the two Dark World Transcendent asked. There was clear confidence in his voice.
I see. They're aware of the deaths of those ambushers. And most likely, they're also aware that I'm just acting.
Perhaps they're also aware of that scroll.
However, due to their high confidence, they still allowed us to approach them like this.
These Dark Wizards. What are they banking on to be this confident?
"Welco us? Is ambushing us as soon as we erge from the Portal the kind of welco the Rizenka Tribe prepared?"
By ntioning the na of their tribe, the two Transcendents' expressions instantly changed. These invaders never really tell anyone their tribe nas. Those Dark Elves, Dark Soldiers and Dark Beastmasters never corrected the natives. So by uttering their tribe na, it proved that I'm from the Dark World.
Although it was actually proven just by possessing the Dark Energy, it's like a 2-step verification process for those like whose thod of entering this world was different from theirs.
"… What tribe are you from? And why did you erge from a Portal from another Mortal World? Who are these… followers? They're not from our world. Are they your gifts for us?" The other Transcendent blurted out his questions as he started eyeing the girls behind .
Although he kept it hidden, that lust in his eyes upon seeing Fleur and the others didn't escape my notice.
"Nope. Why will I answer you if your reception is this poor? I better take the credit for conquering this world, don't you think so?" I shook my head and casually stepped forward as the Nullification Zone expanded from beneath my feet.
"Huh? With just you?" With their voice still filled with confidence, they sneered at . They probably thought that this restriction was enough to impede us.
"What's that cliched line? No, with them." As I pointed to the girls behind , I fully activated the Nullification Zone and a hole opened from where I focused it.
As soon as that happened, Fleur and Avelin jumped out of that hole and rushed towards their position, staff and greataxe shining with Flux Energy.
Let's see if the ants down below will be rattled with this show of force.
