Only the elder and the leader of the mercenaries remain alive and imprisoned inside the [Dimensional Room] after being put to sleep by Theo. Of course, for the kids, they all got killed.
Although they were scared, these young men were "relieved" when they saw that all these evildoers were killed.
When he finished cleaning up, Theo talked to these young people for a while. Seeing that it was getting too late, he still had to walk all the way to his house.
Theo said to these young men from the Sect of the Sword, "Okay, I think you'd better go back to your homes or the Sect."
Even after hearing that, the kids were rooted in the place without moving. Soon they became depressed again, even if they were a few seconds behind talking to him cheerfully.
The kids were still pretty scared about everything that happened. Although they know that the mercenaries and the elder are already dead, they were still afraid to return alone.
Besides, they still couldn't exercise all their powers, because of that, the kids didn't feel safe going back. What if they run into some bad guys? That was their fear.
"Right, right. I'm going to take you to the barrier exit, then you have to go alone, okay?" Theo said.
"Yes!" The kids were happy and agreed in unison.
Sighing, Theo led these young teens all the way out of the barrier. On the way to the end of the barrier, Theo used some of his powers while talking to them and removed the drug they had in their body, though not all of it.
By the time he got out of the barrier, these young people had already managed to exercise all their powers. Initially, the effect of the drug was to last at least 2 days that had been put in the food of these young people, but thanks to Theo, almost everything had already been taken out of their bodies.
Thanks to this, it did not take long for the remaining effects of the drug left in the body of these young people.
If these young cultivators had not restricted their cultivation, they would not have fallen into such a pitiful state where they could do nothing against these mercenaries.
Their cultivation was almost the same as that of mercenaries, most of them already at the end of the Higher Student Kingdom. There were even some stronger students who were at the beginning of the Magician Apprentice Kingdom.
Arriving outside the barrier, Theo swept his eyes through the crowd of young people behind him and said, "Okay, just so far that I'm going to accompany you, now that the effect of the drug is over, there shouldn't be any problems coming back alone.
"Right..." Although they already knew it would happen, these young women reluctantly agreed, but it was evident in their voice that they did not want Theo to leave.
Most of these young people were still a little insecure. Being in Theo's presence, they felt huge security, it was as if nothing could happen to them.
"I'm afraid..." Someone whispered in a mosquito's voice. But who were they? They were all cultivators, their hearing was good enough to hear.
Fear of returning alone was also something they all had in their hearts. After going through this traumatic situation, these young cultivators did not feel safe in leaving without Theo. Even more so, after all, they saw how inhumane people could be.
Among the mercenaries Theo had killed, there were even those who r.a.p.ed women and then ate her meat. It was a disgusting scene. He was more of a maniac than the other, but in the end, they all begged for their lives.
"Where's your courage now?" Theo wondered when he saw them begging for their lives. "Weren't you the ones having fun while watching your victims beg for a quick death?
How can they be so cowardly?' Theo wondered, but he kind of already knew the answer after reading their minds: 'In the end, it was all a bunch of wretched cowards who only knew how to torment the weak and go in a group to kill someone stronger.
Theo was no hero and did not feel that way, he only helped those within his reach and if he had the strength for it. To him, it is worthless to risk his life for someone whom he did not even know if he did not have the strength to do it.
Although he wouldn't feel good about himself if he turned his back on someone he could save. The same happened in Ravenna City, he may have helped a lot of living things, but he wouldn't risk it if he wasn't sure of winning.
Maybe it's because he was human in his past life, which made him have some sense of justice that wouldn't leave a good taste in his mouth if he didn't do anything.
This current situation was the same. He was flying over until he accidentally heard their conversation. What surprised him a lot was when these student cultivators started talking about Panic.
It was no surprise to him that others knew about Panic, since it turned viral on the Internet, but it was still the first time he saw someone using the name of Panic as a symbol to scare the mercenaries.
Looking at these boys and girls who were reluctant to walk away from him. Theo sighed and indicated with his hand to a girl who had higher cultivation among them, go to him.
It's worth pointing out that Theo's present appearance was that of a middle-aged man. None of them knew Theo was nearly the same age as many of them.
"Senior Batman, you want to talk to Hina?" She looked up, looking into his eyes.
A gleam of surprise flashed in Theo's eyes. He still remembers that this girl was the one who showed the least fear at that moment when these young men were trapped by mercenaries.
Even in that situation, she hadn't panicked. The real reason Theo was surprised was not because of how beautiful this young woman was, nor because of her calling him "Mr. Batman", much less because of her referring to him as a second person, was with what he "saw" inside her body... or rather felt.
