Seeing their faces, we knew that something really messy was happening, as I asked them, “What’s the matter? Why are you both making such weird faces?” Hearing my words, both looked at each other and then at me while speaking. ‘Master, the thing that is astonishing to both of us is that ritual.
The way they have arranged that ritual and the way they are chanting is way too similar to our awakening ceremony, where we use the blood of a highly dignified god as a medium of energy to awaken the real grade of the gods, so mostly, we were pretty shocked to even think, How can a demonic method be so similar to our god’s method?”
Hearing his words and seeing the expression of Nicole, I became pretty sure that this thing was just as they described, but this thing was not too complicated, as they were basically using the life energy of a much greater being to awaken themselves.
So I wasn’t feeling that shocked, but the fun was about to be cracked because there was only a single guy in the middle of this star-like thing, and the people who were surrounding the star were also casting many strange spells focusing on him, so mostly that middle bastard was farming energy at a pretty intense rate.
And according to my misfortune calculator, he must have at least stats around 1M, and the way he was being awakened, he must have also inherited the abilities of these beasts, so mostly fighting him would be like getting hit by a train, and I was not alone who was sharing such thoughts.
Ashoka and others were also the same, and Leo’s sister was even saying that spirits of those animals were also being used to nourish this person’s soul.
So the thought about messing with him started to fade, but remembering that creep Michael, Niona, and Rolam were sighing while Ashoka summoned some assassins and sent them to scout the area.
But to think that even in this world, people were doing such things in such mountains—well, I heard many news stories in our world about such people, but seeing them in person was surely pretty awesome, like literally all sorts of creepy stuff: blood, corpses, and even bones and some statues. Well, I couldn’t help but feel goosebumps in such a place.
So the best way to provoke the scene was to disturb the ritual, and heh-heh, now that we were here, Otaku was confident in clearing most of the area by himself, while Shina and Niona were more interested in the ritual, and now only we four were left: Ashoka, me, Leo, and his sister.
Well, I told Leo and his sister to deal with spirits while Rolam looked at me with a pretty cold gaze and spoke, “Onam, you are not going to fight that creep; it will be I who will be dealing with that worshiper, because he is certainly possessed by some upper demon, and there’s no way I am going to let you fight such an upper demon!”
While Rolam was still speaking, Ashoka charged at them while summoning many massive ants and a few wolves. Seeing him charge, Rolam sighed and took a massive leap directly towards that middle person while I was thinking if I should use a big attack or a small attack because I was still under the ground.
And if I would have gotten carried away with my attacks, then there would have been tons of casualties, and I also had to help in clearing the hostage animals from this place, but they still had some strange magical energies around them, so I thought for some time while the battle was progressing at pretty great intensity; Ashoka, with his summons, started clearing the paths in front of them.
And Otaku was taking care of believers, who were looking way too shady to ignore, while Leo and his sister were fighting against spirits, who were gathered at the sides of that ritual, and the Niona and Shina were busy assessing the altar.
But Rolam, this bastard, instead of moving from the sidelines, directly went to that middle guy while leaping directly at that star and stood right in front of that guy. I was feeling the area was looking quite under our control until that person in the middle didn’t open his eyes, but the moment a mere flicker came in his pupils.
A massive surge of energy started to rush into the entire area. Seeing such an aura, everybody started to pay attention to him, as this was no mere aura of a human; the bloodlust was really insane, and insanity was quite clear in his aura, and soon his eyes became visible, red like blood, and instead of getting pale, they had some strange charm in them and were looking way too intoxicated.
Mostly it was as if his eyes were not his eyes anymore, but rather now they belonged to someone else, someone who personally couldn’t visit this realm, so he used this method to taste the blood lust, so there was no reason for me to talk.
While the rolam also started to release his aura, and his aura was many times darker than the other creep’s aura, seeing it, I became quite sure that this creep would be able to handle the other creep.
So as I was thinking about something fun, I sensed a disturbance in the nearby area, so to check the reason for such disturbance and to see if something else was kept in this area, I followed its direction and found out another creep was locked in the prison. Just the thing I was trying to avoid.
First I was thinking that maybe I could find something overpowered or some beauties in here, but all I was getting were assholes, just pieces of trash, nothing but creeps. So now I was confused about whether I should bring him out of his cell or leave him there only.
After thinking for some time, I heard a breaking voice: ‘Are you the one who attacked this base, right now?’
Hearing his words, I thought that it must be something like that, like if I spoke to him that I am with the attackers, then he would become bigger and kick my ass, so I took a deep breath and spoke with pretty thug-type expressions: ‘Nah, I am just a cleaner and some cool people are currently attacking this area, so now I am just saving my ass!’
Well, hearing my words, he was looking at me as if I were some kind of joker, but then after a few seconds, he sighed, and with a mere flicker, he broke the handcuffs and the door in half.
Seeing it, I knew I again screwed up big time, another asshole with overpowered stuff, and I was like, “What the fuck, why can’t this place have anything nice, like some beauties who were getting molested or something, so I could come like a hero and enjoy—I mean save them from those creeps!”
But my poor imagination had no way to manifest, and I felt that I just wasted my time, while this creep started radiating his aura, and his composure again returned to him.
