Chapter 156 Heretics arrive!

Chapter 156

In her eyes, the spectacle that Oliver had just shown her was nothing more than a powerful weapon they could use in the future to slaughter demons. A dangerous tool in the ongoing war against their enemies.

If only they somehow managed to overcome the lack of espera with a huge amount of espera and some minor changes, they could conduct this same combination on a massive scale, a way bigger experiment.

Just the level of destruction they could bring to their enemy's homeland was unthinkable. It was definitely a weapon worth polishing. The potential was immense, and the thought of it brought a cold aura around her.

She had to try something of a similar level with her ice element as well.

Her eyes turned deadly cold at that moment…

In the end, everyone left with complicated emotions. Undoubtedly, they all knew who the actual winners and deserving ones were, but no one said it out loud.

The unspoken truth hung heavy in the air, a silent acknowledgment of their real abilities.

Later, Amber and Alphonso went to collect their rewards, which were some rune booklets and a tool for exorcism.

Their expressions were a mix of pride and uncertainty, still processing the day's events.

______________

Outside, some distance away from the base of the mountain, a group of cloaked individuals was standing.

All of them were dressed in dark robes, their faces hidden in shrouds as they faced the base of the mountain.

"I did not expect the exorcist from the Mystic Purge Clan to leave the clan so soon."

One of the cloaked individuals said in a heavy tone, his body bulging with muscles, making him appear much larger than the others.

His presence was imposing, a silent threat to anyone nearby.

"This definitely means that the exorcist is not aware of the thing they are carrying with them. They are most likely unaware of the egg of the disaster beast."

Another figure said. From her feminine tone and high-pitched voice, it was evident she was a woman.

Her voice carried a note of excitement, barely concealed under her cloak.

"Shh, don't utter that word. It is impossible to know when someone might hear our talk," a man of short stature said in a wary tone.

"Come on, you are worrying too much. We are in the middle of nowhere. No one's going to hear us. Toughen up!" the woman said in a sly voice.

The man could not refute her words since what she said was true. The mountain in the distance was the only thing here. It was weird that such a huge mountain was located in the middle of nowhere.

The desolate landscape added to their sense of security.

It might have been an old ruin.

"The signals are coming strongly from the base of the mountain… the target is there."

Suddenly, a fourth person spoke. His dark black robe was designed with a certain pattern, different from his companions.

He was exuding a powerful and sinister aura, much denser than the others. He was clearly their superior.

Not to mention, all of them quieted down and listened to his words seriously.

"We are close. The exorcist is oblivious to the precious treasure. However, I can sense a strong presence at the base of the mountain. It's dangerous."

He spoke in a static voice, making the others frown. After all, no matter how much they tried, they were not able to sense any strong presences from the mountain base.

But since their leader could feel it, this could only mean that the individual present there was stronger than them.

If so, they could not act and attack carelessly.

A misstep could cost them everything.

They needed to know the situation a bit more.

"What are your orders, leader?" the woman asked in a polite tone.

The leader in question remained silent for a moment, thinking through this and deciding on a solution.

"Scatter around and map out the terrain. Find the break points. The mountain is covered in a special barrier. It's not an easy one. Locate the weak spot. We will infiltrate the mountain first. Hide your presences using the tools given to you. Don't dare to let yourself be revealed even slightly if you don't want to die," he finally said.

His voice carried a finality that brooked no argument.

It was simple: if they got exposed, the powerful exorcist inside would directly kill them. The leader would not step in to save them if that happened. They would be on their own.

This showed just how strong the person inside was for their leader to be cautious of them as well.

The leader they were with was a special individual selected by the supreme master of the cult just for this task.

They all had heard about his extraordinary strength and killing techniques. He was ruthless and had slaughtered countless exorcists so far.

Usually, with him present, they would have directly barged inside, killed the exorcists present inside, and retrieved the egg.

But for a presence inside to make their leader wary of them meant it was not going to be a simple mission.

However, all of them were specially selected for this mission to retrieve the egg of the disaster beast. They all had abilities to back themselves.

It was not for nothing that they were here in the first place.

The exorcist who had the egg belonged to the Mystic Purge Clan. It would be stupid for them to assume he would be weak.

This was why they were here: to hunt him down and get the treasure back!

Of course, that would mean making enemies with one of the five major clans. However, since the orders were from their masters, they would not hesitate in doing what was told.

Heretics like them often avoided exorcists from the major clans not only because they were quite strong and annoying to deal with but also because if one of their exorcists were targeted, the whole clan would hunt them down.

Escaping the Mystic Purge Clan's reach in human territory was close to impossible. This was how influential a major clan was.

"Leader, can I slaughter the exorcists inside if I am careful enough?" the burly man asked for permission in his heavy masculine tone. His eyes gleamed with bloodlust.

The leader's expression was indifferent. He had pale skin and black irises. He gazed at the burly man for a moment before shifting his focus back to the mountain.
