One by one, the second and third members of the hunting group tried to cut Jayden's hands and fingers but the results were the same, at last, the leader himself walked forward and raised his long sword, and brought it down over Jayden's hand with all his strength.
*BANG*
Everyone in the temple was surprised by the strength of the leader, it seemed he had grown even stronger than before but then their gaze went towards Jayden's arm which still looked just as fine as before, even the leader couldn't leave a scratch on his skin.
Even though the first of his strikes failed he didn't lose the motivation and kept striking, at first he was aiming at his arm near the shoulder then he slowly moved towards his wrist and then finally arrived at Jayden's fingers.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
" How is it possible? Just what kind of being is he? " The leader mumbled after trying for over ten minutes with no result at all.
All the people present in the temple were shocked by the turn of events, there are more than one leader that leads the hunting groups but the leader of each group is extraordinarily strong, all of them have nearly similar strengths so not even a leader being able to cut Jayden's skin was a great shock for all of them.
" What should we do now? " The man from the temple asked with a perplexed expression.
"..."
The temple was completely silent, the gazes of all of them were fixed on the unconscious body in front of them, after a few seconds of silence the woman finally spoke:
" Let us ask everyone in our village to try, whoever could cut his skin will receive a great reward. "
Just as she spoke these words, everyone looked at her in surprise, and then all the people in the temple except for the hunting team walked out to make the announcement.
The reward set for cutting Jayden's skin was two months of meat and that person would be able to personally pay tributes to the God, after hearing this news everyone present inside the cave ran to the centre and chatted among themselves excitedly.
" Wh- What should we do n- now? " The man from the temple again asked, gazing at Jayden from the side of his eyes.
" Can't you think one thing yourself, tch useless, although it's a pity but we can't use his body to pay tribute to our god, so just bury his body as deep as possible.
Also be careful to not get too close to him, whether he is alive or not doesn't matter we can't have such a dangerous human among us. "
After she spoke, all the people came back to their senses, and then most of them ran back towards their rooms while only some members of the hunting party remained there.
They were all unsure if they should approach him or not, after some discussion among themselves they decided to put Jayden's body in a wooden coffin and then bury him inside the cave in a deep hole so that he wouldn't be able to get out even if he really is alive.
The members of the hunting party immediately got to work and used a long stick to push his body into a coffin that was big enough to fit Jayden's body, then they dug a hole in one corner of the cave that was more than fifteen feet deep.
They carefully placed the coffin inside the hole and then filled it back, and additionally placed several heavy stones over that area, that weighed more than a couple tons of kilos.
" I think this would be enough to keep him inside, for now, let him stay there, even if he is not dead right now, but he will surely die after a few months.
Then we can take out his body and then provide tribute with his body, it's already too late today to pay tribute to our God, we will continue this tomorrow and for now, no one is allowed to come anywhere near this area. "
After the woman commanded this, she walked back to the temple while the others stared at the large stones for some time and then they finally walked back towards their rooms, all of them were in deep thoughts but the scene of that purple flame was still clear in their heads.
Among these people, the methods they use to pay tribute to their gods differ if the sacrifice is alive or dead, for the dead they go through the same procedures as they had done before but for the humans who are still alive, their methods are even more crueler.
