Of course, I knew spells that would make extraction painless, but I didn’t see any benefit to using them right now and on humans. Such extraction that isn’t painful and even leaves the user alive is possible, but it would consume more energy and needs to have some preparation. Not something I want to waste on some random human kid.
Empathy and similar things didn’t have a place in Astral Boundary. It was a place where you needed to do anything for power because, without it, you are nothing. And I was very well aware of it. When one day I went there, I needed to be strong, or everything I built will be destroyed, and my loved ones would be killed.
So everything I was going was for the Greater Good.
Yeh… sounds hypocritical.
While this would be considered barbaric maybe by even devils, I didn’t care about such things. Morals and standards were for weaklings who envied those with power. While my moral codex was non-existed almost, as the only people I cared about truly were Grayfia and Venelana
And, of course, I was a good leader and ruler to those under my rule if they were loyal to me.
“Fascinating… I will research it later.”
I said to myself as I stored the black sphere containing Canis Lykaon in a special container and then stored it in my dimensional storage.
After that, I cast the Hellflame Spell to burn down the corpse of the boy that was the host of the Canis Lykaon and also the Eight-Winged Ultimate-Class Angel. After burning every piece of evidence down, I turned around to see Rizevim playing with the Angels.
Not even the Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Angel was a match for Rizevim. His skillful usage of magic and sword was a deadly combination, as every Angel that was close to him died in a very painful way.
“Rizevim, stop toying with them, and for the f*** sake, just kill them.”
I screamed at Rizevim, as he was too engrossed in playing with Angels, something I never did and won’t ever do.
Playing with your enemy, even if you are way stronger, is one of the stupidest things to do during a fight. Sometimes, even the impossible becomes possible, and even desperate weakling may bring down lofty and mighty experts with the usage of deception, traps, and arrogance of the expert.
After that, I cast several Strategic-Tier spells and shot them at the Eight-Winged Ultimate-Class Angels, killing them on the stop, while Rizevim finally stopped playing with the Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Angel as he tore his heart out and crushed it in his hands.
“Are there any more Sacred Gear users?”
He asked me as I shook my head.
I searched the entire town but didn’t find anything. I stored the corpses of the Angels as they could be fed to my Familiar, Dou Dou, which was the name of the Bloody Thorny Flower, that has already evolved to the Devouring Thorny Flower and was currently at the peak of the General Level, thanks to the abundance of the fertilizer.
It had evolved during this year and gained a basic level of sentience. It also gained new abilities, namely abilities called Thorny Flower Vines and Spore.
Thorny Flower Vines were a simple ability to create thorny vines from its body and use them to attack or defend. At the same time, Spores was a more troublesome ability. It allowed Devouring Thorny Flower uses her magical energy to create spores that would create a lower-leveled version of it.
For example, now it can create around thirty Devouring Thorny Flowers on the pinnacle of the Commander Level if it uses all magical energy, which was pretty strong. And when it evolved even further, then it would be a higher number, and all of the spores would be at the General Level.
“Which one of the targets is closest to our position?”
I asked Rizevim.
“Exorcist Robert de’Salle, an Ultimate-Class Human Exorcist, with the usage of his Vritra’s Sacred Gears is able to contend against the Satan-Class with ease. He is currently located in a distant abbey far in the mountains. A well-protected place.”
Said Rizevim, as we flew high in the air, as suddenly I stopped.
“Wait a bit.”
I said as I looked at the half-destroyed town and surviving humans running here and there, searching for injured and bringing them out from the ruins of their houses.
“This place needs to be destroyed. It will be best if Heaven doesn’t know about these attacks as long as possible.”
I said as I started creating an Ultra-Order Tier Spell Lightning Judgement, and soon enough, an enormous lightning bolt struck the ground, leaving nothing more than just a crater in a place where the town was.
Of course, Heaven will find out that we were behind the attacks, but it is good to cover all tracks. This way, they will only find out after two to five months, and we could prepare for their retaliation. Or maybe the war will erupt prematurely.
Or maybe they won’t find out at all.
All Sacred Gears I am taking with me are impossible to track, as I was jamming the connection between them and Heaven’s System with special material mined from the Yestera, Planar Core Stone.
Planar Core Stone was a unique and precious type of stone that could be found extremely close to the Planar Core. As the Yestera Plane was entirely under my control, mining works were nearing their end, and I already gave the green to mining near the Planar Core. Currently, around 80% of all resources on the surface were mined, and 40% in the sea were extracted, so we slowly worked our way to the Planar Core.
While the Planar Core Stone was not enough to cut the connection, the box made out of that stone was enough to jam the connection, so Yahweh could not use Heaven’s System to locate the Sacred Gear.
Unfortunately, I had only two such boxes. One was used for the Canis Lykaon, and another one would be used for Incinarete Anthem.
