Chapter 26 - C26 Azure Blazing Faction

The drone arrived at the location after three hours and sent a notification to Allen's watch, which Allen excitedly opened and looked on to see what the drone saw.

Allen was rather horrified and disgusted by the sight.

Beasts were eating the corpses of other beasts that looked like them.

In his whole existence, he had never seen such a scene.

This is cannibalism. But on the other hand, not only the beasts do such a thing. Even they, the divine spirits, were akin to the beasts.

They eradicate other divine spirits and assimilate their followers to increase their production of divine energy.

In addition, Allen also knew that even the humans do these, they will kill other humans and loot them of their fellow's things.

*sigh*

He sighed as he thought, "everyone in this world is of the same seed. Although they act differently, the essence of their actions are the same."

"We are all made of greed."

Allen observed the beasts and found out that they somewhat looked like the Metal-Tail Rat. If they did not look ferocious, he would not think twice to say that they were the Metal-Tail Rats.

After thinking for a while, Allen speculated that they must be the said demonic beast.

Although it was not yet taught at the camp, there is information regarding demonic beasts on the Internet.

Allen continued to view it for a while before deciding to go back to hunting and activated the return-to-home feature of the drone.

…

The colonels in the jurisdiction of Camp 03-355 received the announcement of the general and his message. They did not expect that demonic beasts could be found near them.

The message of the general states that they should not act rashly and find information regarding the Plague Drive Church.

The general also said that it was Plague Priest who said to his clone where the demonic beasts reside, which made Allen smile.

Allen was glad that his name was becoming famous bit by bit. Although it was yet to be known by all of the residents of Base 355, the higher up already knew.

The matter regarding the ability of General Harm was only known by the higher-ups of the human race.

The public was oblivious of it and they only know that the general is a martial artist.

But despite that, nobody dares underestimate him. After all, martial artists and ability users were, at most, on par.

The colonels met virtually and made a consensus that they would join in killing the beasts in the beast tide.

But they will not actively participate as the mission for the trainees is still ongoing. And, for the safety of the trainees, they are prohibited to leave 300 km away from the camp.

…

Meanwhile, the Plague River Church also began their hunt.

The Plague Priest also took this opportunity to better use divine energy.

He found out that divine energy could do almost anything but the divine mark only lets him use divine energy if it was related to death.

The Plague Master was confused at first, but later on, he assumed that Allen must've wanted them to use the death part of his authority because it was what they do best.

With that in mind, the Plague Priest became more motivated in spreading the existence of his Lord.

The hunting of the Plague River Church became efficient as the Plague Priest uses divine energy for searching and stealth.

"Plague, what happened to you?" A voice resonated from behind him. It was the man who asked him what was the cause of the beast tide.

"Fiery Sword, I found the light," the Plague Priest answered.

The man that asked the Plague Priest is the Fiery Swordmaster. He is a martial artist from the Mercenary Faction.

As his name suggests, he was good at swords. He and the Plague Priest are acquaintances.

They met each other during missions. They were special friends that when it comes to work, they would kill each other but at normal times, they would toast beer with each other.

The Fiery Swordmaster did not respond. He did not understand what the Plague Priest meant.

The Plague Priest, when he saw that he did not understand, he explained what he meant.

"The Divine Spirit of Life and Death brought me into his light."

"Divine? You mean god?"

"Yes, he is the master of life and death." The Plague Priest was zealous in his every word.

"He pampers and he takes good care of us, his followers…" and thus, the Plague Priest started preaching.

As the Plague Priest preached there was a certain faction that was eying on them.

This was the faction of the man that the Plague Priest killed for the 'blasphemous acts' towards their Lord.

The Plague River church was oblivious of it but Allen wasn't. He heard everything that they said because they mentioned the name that he recognized.

"Who is this Plague Shit that you mentioned? How dare he kill someone from the Azure Blazing Faction?"

A finely dressed you flared up in anger. He was the acting head of the Azure Blazing Faction.

"Sir Arthur, they said that they follow the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

The name of the finely dressed youth was Arthur Hardy.

"Tsk, divine my ass, I will find that bastard and make him die."

The Azure Blazing Faction is a faction that was headed by a general ranked figure.

But the General is not the general of Base 355. The reason why he founded a faction is for him to nurture a passive money maker.

Even as a general, he still struggles to find Credits to support his growth.

The Azure Blazing Faction is a corporate faction. Most of its executives are colonel figures and business-minded.

Allen heard what Arthur said and was angered in his heart.

He sent a message to the eye of the spirits to look for the culprit who blasphemed him.

He had decided to let the Plague River Church take care of them as a test.

He knew that only through tests and trials will his followers' faith grow.

With that in mind, Allen sent off the beasts that he controlled to tell the Plague Church a message.
