nThe seeds entered inside them, and a moment later; I began to receive the information.

n'They are cultists,' I thought, looking at four Sky Sovereigns, moving sneakily.

nI had doubts, but now they had been cleared.

nI didn't act at all; I continued patrolling, but then sent the command to my colleague's seed.

nImmediately, a frown appeared on his face, and he moved toward the cultist. They are outside his range, and he shouldn't have sensed them, but he did.

n'I have sensed a group of Sky Sovereigns; I think they are cultist,' he said telepathically.

nI reacted appropriately.

n'Have you informed the captain?' I asked. 'Yes, she is coming from the other side,' he replied.

nBuzz!

nA moment later, I received a message from the captain.

nI appeared beside the stone-skinned man and moved with him silently under stealth.

nHe is being careful, staying away from the range of the cultists. Still, it wouldn't have been enough for us to stay hidden if not for me messing up with a sense of cultists.

nFour and a half minutes passed when the changes appeared on the faces of the cultist.

nBuzz!

n

"Let's go,

" said Amin as we received the command from the leader.

nWe moved out of the stealth and flew toward the cultists at our full power. The cultists understood they had been discovered as well as they ran.

nI thought they would play it cool, but those four-bastard scattered in the four directions.

n

"I'll take the elf, you take the beastman,

" said Amin and I nodded and moved toward the winged Beastman.

nHe is the initial Sky Sovereign like me, and fast. Enough, I wouldn't have been able to catch up to him, before taking the mist.

nNow, I could and getting closer every second.

nThese cultists have made a mistake. They shouldn't have scattered. This is a wise strategy, but they shouldn't have used it.

nWe are five, not three, as they are expecting.

nThere were two more people coming, which they had not sensed yet.

nIf they had been together, they would have tried to breach through us, but now scattered, we will deal with them one by one.

n

"Halt by the authority of Avros,

" I ordered.

nThe sparrow beastman turned and swung a purple saber at me.

nA sharp purple arc came at me through it.

nIt's a good attack, but not powerful enough to stop me, much less harm me.

nBang!

nI took out my halberd and brought it down in the arc, blasting it to pieces before continuing toward the beastman.

nIt took me two and a half seconds more to reach the Beastman, and I swung my halberd at him.

nThe attack was powerful enough to make him stop and turn toward me to defend against my attack.

nClang!

nOur weapons clashed and the sparrow beastman shook before taking a step back while vomiting a mouthful of blood.

n

"You should surrender; it will make things a lot less painful for you,

" I said.

n

"Never!

" he snarled.

nThe powerful aura came out of him, and he attacked.

nMy aura too exploded, and I moved my halberd for the attack. It is for the show; I am powerful enough to defeat the little cultist with a single attack.

nWithout using a weapon.

nClang!

nThe weapons clashed, and it shook again, with blood coming out of his mouth.

nThis time, I didn't give him any opportunity and appeared beside it and attacked.

nClang!

nHe defended, before moving back, and I attacked again, using more power.

nClanng!

nIt had nearly made him shake back, but he was able to stop himself in time.

nThe next attack was the same and one after that. I thought about sending him flying, but that would give him a sense of defeat.

nI don't want that. I want him to feel desperate but still have hope.

nI want him to push himself to bring out more power.

nI am doing it from the goodness of my heart. I am doing it for the data. Their cult has a large number of members in this region of the continent.

nI want more data. So, I would recognize their filth quickly.

nClanng Clanng Clanng!

nI attacked one after another, keeping him desperate. Forcing him to claw out the power, he has.

nTo be honest, he is disappointing.

nHe is not close to the powerful cultists I had fought. His skills are also average. I wanted something powerful.

nThe last time, I had a satisfying battle, it had been at the realm. Those monsters were far stronger than anything, I had fought, since coming from the sea.

nI looked at other battles, and they are about the same.

nThe leader is slightly stronger, but our captain handling him. The other cultists are in the same desperate condition as this one.

nA few seconds passed and one got killed.

nThis is the problem with the cultist. Unless you have a big advantage over them, it's very hard to capture them.

nI plan to capture this one; they deserve it.

nThese bastards had sacrificed millions of people. A quick death will be a mercy for them.

nSeconds passed, and I kept pushing him.

nInjuring him, taking it to a near breaking point, hoping it would harness the strength, but it seemed like, I had been expecting too much from the filthy cultists.

nThey use sacrifice to gain strength. There is no willpower in these bastards to harness their deep strength in times of crisis.

n

"I had enough,

" I said and went for it.

nHe understood, what I was trying to do and tried to kill himself, but my seed had stopped him.

nBang!

nA surprise flashed in his eyes, before I hit him hard with the back of halberd, sending him crashing to the ground.

n

"I wish I could punish you myself,

" I said before shaking my head.

nI picked him up with the energy and moved toward Amin, who, too, had finished dealing with the cultist.

nThanks to the seed. He was able to capture the cultist he was fighting alive.
