The dark restraining cloud ability of his was indeed quite a strong one, in fact, it would be actually stronger considering that he is supposed to be the Overseer of this base…

Had he had a tenth of the last Overseer's intelligence, he could have made a pretty annoying enemy for most humans, and maybe even me if he used it well enough.

After all, this power could allow the demons who I picked out easily like flies to be able to catch up and fight against another human army as if they were accelerated thanks to their opposite army being in a state where moving would be much harder as if they were in a place with higher gravity…

However, as the one who had this ability was actually the scaredy cat Overseer, and the opponent was actually me, whose speed couldn't be compared to other humans, him using his elemental ability this late was nothing but useless futile resistance…

The amount of fire elements that I concentrated through the vein was already as high as it could be, but I didn't stop at that as I started to input lightning elements as well as the both veins had reached full capacity, that was when I once again slashed the halberd towards the retarded Overseer.

By then, his dark cloud had already spread over his body, which would obviously be less effective than it's main use as a 'Crowd Control' skill, but that didn't really matter as my halberd had already cut off one of his arms.

"Ahhhhh...Gahhh… You! Stop… just stop… I don't need you to be my pawn anymore, you can just massacre the whole base however you like! Just don't kill me…"

The now limbless slim demon had finally let out his true feelings at this point as he dropped his high pedestal act as his dark cloud dispersed showing that he had given up, which only showed him to be more retarded than ever, he was obviously in a situation where death would be his salvation, and he was begging for his life instead?

"Ah, sure, I won't kill you."

'Not yet at least…'

"Th…"

However, when he seemed to want to start blabbering again, I already flicked his head to the ground and put the tip of my halberd over his stomach as I started deep freezing his whole body, aside from his head…

By the time I was done, he had already fainted due to the temperature drop, his fear and the flick that must have damaged his already sick brain.

'Just wait for now, I will be back.'

After being finally done dealing with the main eyesores that I decided to keep for later to collect some information, I once again focused my attention on cleaning the crowd of guards that barely had a few dozens or so left.

A few minutes later…

[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a 'Sword Demon'… ]

[ You have received 333,333 EP! ]

[ You have leveled up! ]

[ You have reached level 103! ]

Finally shooting the last demon standing approximately, and gaining over 20 million EP, which had actually allowed me to gain one level after so long considering the residual that was left from my fight with the Sky Dragon, I shifted my attention towards the trio who were collapsed on the ground…

I had obviously noticed them when I reached the base, but they didn't seem to be in much danger as they were only tied with some heavy ropes so I left them there since I was taking care of the possible danger of being surrounded…

'It seems that my guess was more or less right…'

Although I wasn't yet sure about the method the demons used to make the trio do their bidding without even noticing what was happening to them, and even going through my mind & status check without me noticing as well, I was at least able to confirm that they weren't seeds that the demons had left behind, they were just the unfortunate pawns that stood at the very front on a chess board…

After all, if they were seeds who cooperated with the demons, they would have been more welcomed here, of course not to the point of being esteemed guests as demons had bad discrimination habits when it came to race and even blood purity, but they would be at least free and awake, instead of being tied while passed out.

'Hopefully whatever was influencing them was already dealt with, or else, it might be hard to keep them alive…'

Allowing mind controlled humans to go back into the Nature Domain's human society, with two of them being especially exceptional talents that are going to join esteemed sects soon would naturally be a bad idea, so it would be better if the mind possession method was dealt with already, as I didn't really want to be the one to kill the innocent in order to skip the future danger…

'I'm also going to be in trouble if they don't return…'

Considering the fact that I was probably seen by a great amount of people as I left Battle City with the trio, if I were to return alone later, while they don't return even in the time for the acceptance ceremony, that would obviously mean that something wrong has happened to them with me being on the top of the list for possible suspects…

'Well, I could ask these two ice cream guys later…'

Since I still had both the Overseer and the Corruption processor in my hand, It shouldn't be that hard to use them in order to resolve that problem if it was still there, so I didn't really need to worry about that for the moment…

So with that out of mind for now, I lifted the trio and put them in a somewhat acceptable and more comfortable position, before I finally shifted my attention to the true army of this base that was advancing towards me...
