Damn, we had really just gone and done it.
We completely devastated these guys' asses.
Prestigious sect? My ass.
They're all pathetically weak.
Even a child beats their sect members without breaking a sweat.My cute Flayr and Noirenn really just beat up their strongest Rank 2 member's asses.
And the two Rank 3 Elders that I and Benladann fought were easily defeated too.
Oof, that lightning guy might have killed me when I was a bit younger. Maybe a few months ago.
I feel the intense desire to just kill these Elders and the Sect Master and eat their Mana Cores, they're so useless that this is the only way for them to be of any utility now.
But come on, I am a good man. I am a dragon hero- pfff, okay, no, that sounds awful.
But I am not a psychopath! Or that's what I like to think.
I am not into genocide, so as long as he accepts that they lost then we are all good.Though they were so devastated defeated that I feel bad for them.
If I were in the sect master's shoes, I would feel the same, honestly.
Shame! Shame for you.
"Alright talk already, we don't have all day man," I said.
"You win…" sighed the sect master.
The entire sect was left shocked once more and even said gasp multiple times.
Despite already knowing we won, they're pretending to still be surprised.
What? Did you think that the sect master would say that your sect miraculously won despite all your members being crushed?
Well yes, we did some trap here because most of the fights were my members at a higher Rank, but come on, don't be like that, it's not so bad…
Or is it? Oh well, it is what it is.
"Nice, what do we get as a reward?" I asked.
"A… reward…"
The other elders were all furious.
"We didn't think it through." Said an elder.
"Y-Yeah…"
Are you kidding me?! You didn't think it through?!
What? Did they really expect us to just lose? You kidding me, right?
"Then give us a reward, we took the annoyance of attending this place and be hated by everyone just to beat your asses." Said Benladann.
The elders became alarmed as they began to speak with one another…
"What… would you want as a reward?" asked the sect master, Lord Ice Moon.
Is there even anything of value in this place?
Maybe an inheritance, or Grimoires, or perhaps treasures? But they'll never give it to us.
Ah, why does it matter anymore? Tonight we'll take over this place.
"I just want your friendship. Let's not fight anymore and let's be friends." I said.
Everyone was surprised.
The Elders in specific began to ask me things.
"Drake… You're saying the truth?"
"Is he alright?"
"Is that the reward he wants?
"What?"
"Drake… Is this it?" asked the sect master.
"Yeah, I am a surprisingly nice man. I don't want anything else, to be honest. I feel fulfilled with my life and just want to move on. People are all different, so I want to- Oh right, could you abolish slavery and free all the slaves the elders have?" I asked.
"What?!"
"That's not possible!"
"You can't ask that as a reward."
"You're delusional."
"Fine, let's do that." Said the sect master, surprising his elders.
"But Sect Master!"
"Shut up!" roared the sect master.
As if they were kids being reprimanded, the elders shut down.
"Nice, that sounds good to me." Said Pekora.
"You can move those slaves with us, we'll take care of our tribes." Said Tisha.
And that day, the entire sect was humiliated, and we safely secured every slave the Elders or other sect members had, it was a big amount of people, almost 100, but we got them all.
We moved them back to Fuyu after going outside the sect and generating illusion barriers and veils to mask ourselves while we entered the outside forest.
It was a pretty chill day, the easiest tournament of my life.
Maybe it could have been spicier if we had fought the sect master? But he was chickening out a lot. I don't know what goes through the head of that man.
Anyways, after we got into the house, we left Pekora and Tisha to take care of the slaves, alongside one of my clones which will heal them and take care of them and all of that.
We mostly moved into having a big feast, we began cooking the beast we could eat today, and we drank a lot too.
The celebration was big, and we and Benladann celebrated this overly easy tournament.
Although if things were to end in such a manner, it would be pretty boring, right? Like, who would ever feel satisfied after such a thing?
Well, due to that, after the feast, I stealthily moved down with Benladann.
Yeah, tonight was the day…
Time to take over a whole sect in just a single night, let's do it as ridiculously as possible.
"Are you sure this will work?" wondered Benladann.
"Yeah, leave it to me," I said.
With Benladann at my side, we jumped into the sect through the walls as we were shrouded in Shadows using my Shadow Abilities that I got from the Shadow Crows, which were pretty good.
After that, we reached the peak of the tallest building in the entire sect, which was where you sold materials and other things, the equivalent to an Adventurer Guild.
We looked over the beautiful moon atop the skies, oh, it was pretty.
And then we looked at the starry sky. It was pretty as well.
We looked down at the resting sect, the people were mostly sleeping.
I was going to use this technique to not just cover up any kind of sound that might come from our fight against the sect master, but also deceive the entire people that "nothing" was occurring.
We already decided to kill a few of the Elders we didn't like before that.
So… without further ado!
Dark Illusion Domain.
FLASH!
