BANG!
Wanya slapped him hard on his head, making him conscious, while I had gone to my teammates.
If I had wanted to, I would have had the cultist minutes ago, but binding it was useless. Seeing he could have self-destructed.
While there are formations I could have used that could suppress the self-destruction, I didn't dare to rely on them.
It is a good thing I didn't.
This bastard had a method to give a targeted self-destruction. I don't know whether it would have been able to stop it.
If I had used the forbidden power, I would have confidence, but I am not using any in this mission.
So, I focused on a different thing, used the new abilities of my strings, and sent one inside him. Which is much harder to do, not to mention this string is quite weak and could only do a few things.
I gathered two of my teammates and fed them, a greenish-yellow solution, before placing my hands on their bodies.
"Will they survive?" asked Wanya, as I opened my eyes.
"It won't be a problem, but they will need to spend some time to make a full recovery," I said and took two of them into the abode where I put the cult captives.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI took out vats and placed them inside before starting to work on them.
The condition of my teammates is bad, but I am confident that I will be able to save them. However, they will need to rest in the organization, to make a full recovery after what they had suffered.
An hour and a half passed when I finally stopped and wiped the sweat off my brows.
"They will wake up in a few hours," I informed Wanya, before turning to her.
"I am fine. You should focus on these poor souls," said Wanya, shaking her head.
"Sit," I said sternly.
She looked at me for a moment, before she sat down with a sigh, and I began to work on her. Her injuries may not be heavy, as Elra and Gamin, but they are serious.
It took me twenty minutes to stabilize her. I gave her some medicine and asked her to rest, before turning to thirty-poor souls.
Their state is quite bad, and it is the poison had made it bad, but what the cultists doing bore we have arrived.
They will need a month or even years to recover from this and it won't be cheap, but at least they won't be helpless. If they follow my plan; I will make them recover enough in a month, that they would be able to use 50% of their power.
This may not seem much, but it is a great power for this Earth-Sovereigns.
If they work hard enough, they will be able to earn what they need to recover fully in a few years. It would be better if their organization did it for them, but I don't think even half of the people belong to the organization.
A few hours passed, and I finally finished stabilizing their condition.
They are still in very much danger, but with the treatment I have done for them. They could be taken out of the vats.
I turned to my teammates, who had woken up, not long ago.
"We should get out of here as soon as possible," I said to them.
"Don't you need the rest?" asked Wanya. "I will rest, after reaching the organization," I replied.
She seemed a little hesitant to accept it, but nodded a moment later.
There is no other choice. Every minute we stay here, we risk being attacked by the cultists. While we have taken all the precautions and the cultists wouldn't come to the rescue, we couldn't take any risk.
Kaghal. The cult, these people belong to little unpredictable, and it would be wise on our part not to test their nature.
A minute later, we walked out of the hill. With thirty-one unconscious people floating around us.
We will need to walk out of the olis grove and wasteland after for the red piercer to pull us back into the Tor.
The red-piercer needs a stable space and while the space in Olis Grove may seem stable, it is, but it is not as stable as the red-piercer needs it to be.
It is one of the biggest flaws of the red-piercer, along with not being able to be used by the Prime.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It won't be easy to get out of the grove while keeping all of them alive," said Gamin.
I couldn't help but nod at his words. Aside from the poison, there are monsters. Of the four of us, only Wanya and I are in the fighting condition.
Gamin and Elra couldn't harness over 50% of their strength.
"Easy or not, we have to do it," replied Wanya as moved toward the exit.
We have covered ourselves with the stealth methods, and our pace is brisk. We planned to get out of the grove with less time than it took to get in here.
This time, we do not need to care about getting discovered by the cultists like we did come here.
If the reinforcement for the cultists is coming; it will be powerful enough to discover us, even with our stealth methods active.
The reason, we have activated the stealth method is to remain undetected from the monsters.
It won't be able to hide us from the most powerful ones, but our methods are good enough to let us hide from the less powerful Earth Sovereign monsters.
Roar!
For one and a half hours, we moved undisturbed, before a monster sensed us.
It is a huge panther of Peak-Sovereign strength, and it came at us with full power.
"You guys go ahead. I will catch up to you after dealing with this monster," said Wanya, and moved toward the monster.
Nobody said anything.
Everybody was confident that Wanya would be able to deal with the monster rather easily, and she did, within four and a half minutes.
