{Edited Loki}
{AN: Full title at the end of the chapter.}
After staying there killing bugs, Theo managed to make a lot of points in the system. He also began to better understand the attack and reaction patterns of insects. Although he had also seen other human beings when he was flying in search of new prey, he had not come into conflict with any of them until now...

"Elder, you bastard!" Said a young man in uniform in green and white and a silver sword emblem on his chest, pointing his right index finger at a middle-aged gentleman: "How can you betray us... betray the Sect of the Swords!?"
The old man was not upset by the way this boy called him, in fact, he even seemed to like it and started laughing out loud when he said: "Stupid boy, you are very innocent. Do you really believe there is loyalty to a sect if you can take advantage of something better? Understand innocent kid, by selling all of you, I will earn more money than 10 whole years of my services to the Sect of the Swords!"
The mercenaries who stood next to the middle-aged elder began to laugh at the innocence of these kids. That world was the law of the jungle, it was to eat or be eaten. No matter how strong your sect is, as long as there is an opportunity, your heads would be at someone's door if they were unable to defend themselves against this injustice.
All those mercenaries, they had bloodthirsty, lewd eyes. Before they even sold all those dumb kids who barely stopped sucking on their mothers' teat milk. They're gonna "have fun" with these girls. Even some of these handsome boys wouldn't escape... in fact, some of them had different s.e.x.u.a.l preferences and preferred to have fun with men, even more, if they were young and handsome...
This was not something that these mercenaries would be prejudiced about, in fact, they were even good since they were one less to share with women.
The bodies of the girls involuntarily trembled before the lewd eyes of these mercenaries, these girls thought of killing themselves instead of falling into the hands of these bandits. But the moment a girl thought of killing herself, she faints at the same time.
"Hahaha! Dumb brats!" The old man laughed gladly: "I put a potion in your food, there is no way you can kill yourselves, if you try, you will faint just like this girl of today. Bahahaha!"
The laughter of this elder was lunatic and manic, totally different from the gentle and kind side that these kids knew... in the end, they were all a great farce of the true personality of this elder who pretended to be kind and cared about them.
Tears flowed from the eyes of these kids, although they were already in their teenage years, which were only 16 years old. They were, after all, all kids who were going to spend the first time-fighting something real, or at least that's what they initially thought. They would only fight a few insects and then return to their sect, now, however, these kids were in a desperate situation!
This was the first time they had ever experienced a betrayal from someone they trusted so greatly. Little did they know what kind of fate they'd have from now on...
Some of these kids could not stand so much fear and dread that in the end, their mental forces were still weak, they could not bear such a state of mind in this situation. There were over 150 children. Besides, a little over half were girls.
But then, a crazy thought came into the mind of a girl who was in the crowd... she thought and shouted out loud: "Panic... Panic won't let you get away with it! Yeah, he mainly likes villains like you, I know that I've seen your videos!"
"Yes, that's true. Also, the last time "him" or "her" was seen was in Ravenna City not far from that place." Another kid screamed. Even if they thought they were going to die, they wanted to bring them justice.
The hope of getting help from their sect? These kids didn't think about it now, in fact, they were disappointed in their sect. Since they allowed such an evildoer to become an elder of the sect, causing them to fall into such a situation.
If they were fooled by this elder...., how could they expect help? Besides, even their cell phones weren't working. That clearly was something that was caused by the cult elder.
The mercenaries won't lie, they were actually a little afraid to hear this, in fact, "Panic" had turned viral on the Internet, there were almost no living beings in this world who didn't hear his name at least once. This often-caused bad guys and evildoers to think twice before doing something "bad", but of course, this was only limited to those close to Fallen Star Island.
The leader of the mercenaries was the first to recover and said, "You don't think that's going to scare us, kids. I don't think our luck is so bad that "Panic" would appear before us!"
In the end, he spoke, shouting wanting to raise the morale of the mercenaries.
"That's right!" Another mercenary shouted, "Hahaha silly children, don't think you can scare us with panic. At the end of the day, we will have the last laugh and celebrate with the money made after selling and having fun with all of you."
"Hahaha, that's it!"
The morale of mercenaries has once again been raised to the unhappiness of children. For a moment they thought these mercenaries would give up doing something bad with them...
Some of the children knelt on the ground while losing all hope. Even some even pissed themselves in their pants because of fear. Especially those who were prettier, who were receiving the lewd looks of those mercenaries.
The kids for some reason we're not able to exercise much of their mana. This was just another addition to the kids' despair.
It was only then, when the mercenaries were walking to capture all these kids, a black shadow came down from the sky. Like a giant bat with black wings on its back. He landed on the ground.
When the chief of the mercenaries saw this, he was on alert, as were all the other mercenaries and the elder of the Sect of Swords.
This tall, almost 200cm tall man looked at the children and gave them a reassuring smile.
Seeing this, the mercenaries soon realized that this would be a setback to their "hunt".
The chief of mercenaries noticed that this being who appeared was looking in their direction. He swallowed dry and asked, "Who are you?"
"I?" Theo had just appeared pointing to himself, soon after, he posed as a hero, putting his two closed hands on his waist and said in a thick voice, almost like a radio announcer: "I am Batman!"
