Within the forests above the underground tunnel, a group of four cultists that had set up a large Demonic Formation to break open the barrier easily and bring all the monsters and demons here continued running away.
After they saw Blake and his companions easily taking care of everything without problems, they immediately panicked! They were never told that those damned teens would be so strong. They were only at their fifteen years of age, yet their strength was so high they could easily fight against hundreds of Draconic Beasts and Demon Generals?
It was utterly unbelievable!
Yet reality wouldn't simply twist around based on a person's belief or disbelief, reality existed, and facts were facts. Fully realizing the true extent of Blake and his companions' true strength, the cultists immediately retreated while leaving the Dragon Born behind to distract Blake.
"Dammit, they're too strong!"
"Wait, that bastard...! His presence's already gone!"
"Wait, what?! He killed a Dragon Born so easily?!"
"Dragon Borns are members of the cult that had grown strong enough and gained enough achievements in battle that they are given the privilege of drinking and eating the hearts of draconic beasts through a ritual, transforming them into half-dragon and half-demon beings," said another cultist. "That alone should've made him at the level of an S- Rank monster! How come he easily defeated that?!
Are you telling me he's at the Level of a Spirit Ancestor already?!"
Spirit Ancestor, the Title that Spirit Masters whose Spirit Orb reached the Rank of 6, they were already known as incredibly powerful beings amongst the entire world of Spiritias, their numbers below a hundred.
In Order, Rank 1 would be called Spirit Scholars, Rank 2 Spirit Masters, Rank 3 Spirit Grandmasters, Rank 4 Spirit Elders, Rank 5 Spirit Great Elder, Rank 6 Spirit Ancestor, Rank 7 would be Spirit Kings, Rank 8 would be known as Spirit Saints, Rank 9 are already at the level of Gods, Spirit Demigods, and lastly, at Rank 10, only rumored by legends, Spirit Gods!
However, most folks had no idea of such Titles, and people simply called each other either Spirit Scholar, Master, or Grandmaster. However, those well informed would know the true threat of someone that had surpassed Rank 5, as it meant they went through a Trial Awakening.
They had no idea that Blake was only Rank, but thanks to all his Skills, Abilities, Divinities, equipment, and Spirits, his power level could even compare with Spirit Ancestors, if not even Spirit Kings. Usually only Rank 9 would obtain a true Divinity, but because of his circumstances and privileges, he had already obtained several ones he was developing!
"This is pointless, a fight like this simply cannot be won, we must escape and make another plan!"
"I agree, there's no point in wasting time."
"Simply redirect all the monsters and demons to fight them, their sacrifice will not be in vain."
"We'll come with a better plan next time... It is a pity we ended wasting the opportunity that he gave us..."
As the cultists kept jumping from tree to tree as they talked, they were unable to detect something. Pink mist began encompassing their surroundings slowly, as a portal of pink and dark purple color opened, splitting space open as a beautiful half-elf woman with long pink hair, wearing regal witch clothes, stepped in right in front of them.
"W-Wha...?!"
"Fight or we'll die instantly! Kill her, she's frail compared to her powerful magic!"
As the cultists found themselves surrounded by the dream fog, they all transformed, combining with their only Demonic Spirit through Spirit Fusion.
Every developed cultist usually had one Demonic Spirit, it was the source of their power, and it would usually grant them tremendous power.
Because modifying their Spirit Orb and turn it into a Demonic Spirit Orb caused a tremendous internal damage, the Spirit Orb was left crippled, only capable of creating a single Demonic Spirit, usually.
However, it was much stronger than any Spirit these people could have ever summoned anyways! Find your next read at m v lemp-yr
Much like those three incredibly strong Elite Cultists that Blake and his friends fought in the Silvertide Kingdom, these four were almost as strong as them too!
Their bodies changed, transforming into amorphous demonic beings, some resembled blue-skinned, multi-armed Onis with many horns, others took the appearance of giant half-demonic beast creatures, and the rest resembled an amalgamation of heads and appendages.
"RAAAH!"
They all rushed towards Cattalina, who was only watching them with a gentle smile.
"You're already asleep."
POOF!
All four cultists suddenly exploded into pink smoke, being reduced to small wooden toys...
In reality, all four of them were in front of her, sleeping soundly.
"Good night..."
Her Nightmare Magic materialized into one of her spirits, taking the shape of a completely black scythe, with a huge white skull on top.
"{Scythe of Nightmares and Fear: Epiales}"
And with a single swing, she cut apart their souls.
SLAAASH!
