I looked above immediately and was surprised by what I saw.
I saw Prime Karamiv using a pyramid-like prison that trapped the master within. In that pyramid is Prime Gold, and the cult leader is fighting it.
’It’s one powerful artifact,’ I thought.
Despite that, every time the master attacks it, cracks appear on it.
They are barely able to contain it. The master is not something they could easily deal with. If it had been, they would have killed it long ago.
It is shocking that they were even able to trap it.
Still, keeping it there will be a challenge. Given how it was nearly able to break it with every attack,
I looked at it for a few seconds before moving toward the hosts. I would like to watch it, but there are all these hosts to take.
It would be terrible if I were not able to make use of this opportunity.
The iron is increasing my strength; more iron will take my strength higher. Not to mention, the growth energy they provide.
I am using it on all the important plants to grow the resources I need for the near future.
I need different types of resources, since I have extracted the essence of the miracle fruit that I got from the old woman. I had to change the formulas drastically, but the results are just as drastic.
I had been making rapid progress with that formula, and I had barely used the essence.
I need to develop the formulas that will allow me to harness maximum benefits from it. I am very close to such a formula, but it will still take me another month before I create it.
I captured itornas and body of the hosts before moving to another one.
I could see them getting worried about the leader, with some strategically moving their battle close to the rift. So, they would be able to escape; they need to be.
Master is an absolute leader, but as long as they reach the instrument in the realm. There is a good chance that they could become a new master.
I do not care about any of these. The only thing I care about is capturing as many masters as possible.
I am doing it by choosing the masters who have an edge over the villagers they are fighting, and seeing me dealing with one iron after another despite the threat of self-destruction, they have changed the strategy.
They begin to get injured in the combat and lose their edge.
These foreigners have no pride; they would do anything to survive, including letting the masters have the edge. But unfortunately, like every tactic before, this also isn’t going to work.
I know who is faking and who is fighting with all their strength.
I captured another host and then another, while the villagers I freed moved to deal with the monsters. Leaving the itornas to me.
I could see the shock in their eyes as they looked at me. The way I am dealing with them.
Not everyone could do this, even with greater power than I have. Most of them are still fighting while I am capturing one Itornas after another.
While I may be fighting, I am also keeping an eye on the battle above.
It is still trapped with two Prime attacking it with everything they have. It is fighting back, not holding anything.
I am glad to be far away from that battle. That bastard had looked at me, and seeing the way I am killing its kin. It will kill me first if it gets the chance.
So, I am making intentional efforts to stay as far as possible.
Soon, I finished with most of the weaker itornas, that has an edge over the village. There are some more, but those bastards are powerful.
Now, I am looking at them to choose the target, so that I will be able to deal quickly without using my strings on them.
It didn’t take long for my clones to find the best target, and I moved it toward it. A few seconds later, I was fighting against it with the villager.
Time passed, and I continued fighting and killing the hosts. Though at a much slower pace. Follow current novels on novel[f]ire.net
They have learned how I fight and are making things difficult.
’Everybody, protect yourselves!’ Suddenly, a warning rang out in our minds, and a moment later, the massive explosion rang out above us.
It is so vast and powerful that it has covered the whole sky, its spreading rapidly.
It didn’t take long for the powerful shockwave to reach us and crash toward our shield.
I saw the shield cracking, with many villagers and hosts being sent back with bloodied mouths. My shield cracked, but not really. It is more than strong enough to bear it, but I created a crack.
It brings more suspicion if it remains undamaged.
Though I did make use of this opportunity and captured another itornas, while my soul sense kept an eye on the master itornas running at blurring speed toward the rift.
It had self-destructed its host and was now running away.
The three are chasing it, but they are not as fast as the itornas. They will lose it, and that would be terrible.
Leaving a single iron would give them a chance to grow in the future. They can breed and find new hosts when the time comes.
If we are able to finish them off, we will be eliminating one of the biggest dangers, the people who come to this realm after we left.
But the speed at which it is running away, I don’t think, we will be able to capture it. Once it enters the rift, it will be very hard to find it, even if we chase after it.
It had reached the rift, and I thought it would escape, when it suddenly paused.
The next moment, the madwoman appeared, with Master Itornas captured in a glass sphere.
I am shocked to see her. Since I returned to the village after the battle, I didn’t sense the old woman. She was hiding so well that I wasn’t able to sense her.
So is Master Itornas. Its why it got captured.
