Chapter 4453: End The moment it was captured, the whole battle changed. Bang Bang Bang. Itornas begin to run away; some run with the host, while others destroy their to create a chance to escape. Now, they cannot escape to the rift. So, they are escaping everywhere. "Kill them all!" Commanded the cultists’ leader as it turned, while Prime Karamiv and Gold moved toward the captured master. I didn’t stay in my spot and moved toward the itornas with my full power. I didn’t hold back anything; I used everything. Every second, I would harness more power as I am getting stronger every second. This is the last chance. I don’t know where I will get another one to get such an increase in strength. So, I want to exploit it as much as I can. However, it isn’t making it easy. They would change directions, seeing me coming, but not all were able to get away. My hand would appear and capture those itornas. I would appear in front of the host and kill it, before capturing escaping itornas. Everybody is doing it with a cult leader attacking everyone who goes out of range of everybody else. It’s very powerful. Other than the master, nobody was its match. There are some who could take a few moves from it, and he personally appeared in front of them to deal with them. Their numbers begin to get reduced by the seconds, until the last one is killed. Immediately, people turned to the monsters, including me. There are a lot of them, and I begin to kill them with others, before taking their bodies into my core. They might be ugly and vomit-inducing, but these monsters contain massive energies and are very nutritious to the plant. I was killing them with others when they had finally killed the master. It is easier to sense, given its massive presence despite its small body. Seeing that, relief filled my heart. I had seen how it looked at me. Even without a host, it would have been dangerous for me. Now, it is dead, and dead could do nothing to me. It didn’t take long before all the monsters were dead, and they began to burn them in a powerful alchemical fire. Hun! I was watching this fire when I sensed the presence beside me. "Where is Haklin?" asked the cultist leader. "I don’t know. He was fighting earlier and was not present when I had appeared," I replied. He looked at me deeply as if he would get an answer that way, when Prime Gold appeared beside us. "Is there a problem?" she asked, turning to him. "No, I am just asking him about Haklin. Whether he had seen him, he had gone in the same direction as him," replied the cult leader. "Have you Prime Arys?" asked the woman, turning to me. "No," I replied simply. "There is your answer, Prime," she said, and the cult grinned before disappearing. Prime Gold nodded at me before disappearing as well. Seeing that, I finally felt relieved. I am scared of that bastard and have my shield ready. I am glad that I am now powerful enough, he won’t be able to kill me instantly, if he tried. In a few minutes, I will be even more powerful. The runes are still harvesting the itornas, and there is still a lot of strengthening energy that is coming to my body and soul. Strengthening me. A few seconds passed, and the three gathered together. We all turned toward them. "We have finally dealt with the danger that had been troubling us for over millennia." "To make sure, there are no itornas left, we four will be venturing into the sub-realm and kill any itornas that might be left behind," announced Prime Karamiv. ’And take the treasures that realm has,’ added Prime Avana in my mind. I smiled at that. Yes, there are some good things there if archives are to be believed, but it is also a dangerous place with innumerable traps. I am curious about it, but I didn’t mind that much for only four of them going there. They didn’t waste any time and moved toward the rift. Disappearing into it soon after. "It was quite a battle, wasn’t it?" asked Prime Avana. "Yes, and it went better than I had expected, given the force the enemy had brought," I replied. "Big thanks go to you. You alone have killed nearly a quarter of them," she said, to which I smiled. We talked for a few minutes before flying to the village. Thud! Soon, I landed in front of the cottage and walked inside, while she went to the hospital to assist Prime Rava. I wanted to do that as well, but unfortunately, I can’t. Inside, I directly went to my room and lay down after giving some instructions to my clone. It is nearly morning, but the battle wasn’t easy, and it made me tired. I closed my eyes and within seconds, I was in a deep sleep. When I woke up, it was past nine in the morning. I am feeling good with all the tiredness vanishing and powerful. I had absorbed all the strengthening energy from the itornas. Gaining considerable strength. It made me smile as its going to help me a lot. I closed my eyes and saw that a lot of change had appeared in my core. The growth energy has helped a lot of plants. I could see the bees moving excitedly toward them, extracting the nectar to craft the honey. I watched them for a few seconds before they appeared beside the plant. I had sealed this zone until the plant finished with harvesting the bloody core. Haklin is still alive, in the deepest part of the core. It will take the plant around a month here to refine the core. It might take even more. The core has the essence of a large number of monsters. Over a thousand, easily, that will be the easiest part. The hard part would be the soul. Its soul, as well as the souls of other monsters. Essence is both, and there are a lot of and a few other things. I don’t know if the plant would be able to refine them at all, but I hope it does. If it refines the soul essence as it is refining the blood essence, it is going to help me tremendously.
