NOVEL NEXT Chapter 57 : Alicia’s Forgotten Battle
In the Poxi Cult, the leaders are divided into 10 seats, with the first seat being the leader of the Poxi Cult. Of course, these 10 seats can be contested, depending on one's level of achievement and the extent of their contribution to the cult.
The membership system in the cult is also divided into 6 levels: Class III, Class II, Class I, Master, and Grandmaster, with the highest being the 10 leadership seats of the cult. It could be said that Heisen, who was killed by Alice, had reached the master level and would be promoted to Grandmaster due to his achievements and talent.
The cult is also one of the largest organizations in the world, rivaling even the Lunarian religion. The cult is spread worldwide, except in some countries where it is impossible to infiltrate, such as the Demon Lord's territory.
The cult's primary and priority goal is to dominate and control the world from the shadows, including controlling various kingdoms to obey the cult's commands. They also constantly conduct experiments to make individuals extremely powerful to be used as weapons for their goals.
80% of kidnapping cases in the world are caused by cults, as they need many guinea pigs for their illogical experiments. The other secondary goals of the cult are still related to the first goal, which is to awaken the demon named Poxiranha, the strongest demon in the world, who has been sealed at the bottom of hell.
Currently, two men wearing brown robes are walking through the forest. One of them is quite large, almost 3 meters tall, while the other has a normal adult-sized body.
They are Maximilian, the seventh seat of the cult, and Zepynr, the sixth seat of the cult.
Maximilian, the seventh seat of the cult, has long blond hair and a heavily muscular body, as hard as steel. He is the leader of the cult with very high defense, even comparable to the first seat of the cult.
The veins in Maximilian's muscles are clearly visible as if they are about to burst, but Maximilian currently covers his entire body with a brown robe and only wears clothes like commoners because they are traveling to the Odaizar Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Zepynr is only about 180 cm tall, with a body that is neither too thin nor too fat. His body shape can be considered normal, but what sets him apart is his vertical pupil eyes and some scales on his body.
Both of them happen to be heading to the Odaizar Kingdom after their mission in the Northern Igrasian Empire.
"Tonight... Isn't it very boring, Maximilian?"
"Yes, throughout the journey, there have only been bandits, and it's been years since I've encountered a balanced opponent other than the holders of the cult leadership seats,"
Suddenly, Zepynr's instinct tells him that there will be a very big danger approaching them. Of course, this confuses Zepynr enough because it doesn't make sense. Each holder of a cult leadership seat is very strong in this world, so there can't be a major threat.
"Maximilian, why does my instinct tell me that there's a great danger approaching?"
"I don't know... Maybe your instinct is broken,"
"Oh, right,"
Zepynr stopped walking, which puzzled Maximilian a bit.
"Why did you stop walking?" Maximilian asked curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, from our current position, Arclens City is 5 kilometers to the west,"
"Ohh... The city controlled by Heisen,"
"What if we visit them? Last time they reported that they were developing humans who are quite powerful,"
"Well... It's up to you, but I'm not too interested. I admit that Heisen is skilled in experiments, but I'm not sure if the experiment results are successful,"
"And also, reportedly they have taken over Arclens City by threatening the children of the city's leaders with poison, according to their report,"
"Not interesting..."
"Hmmmm?"
"What's wrong, Zepynr?"
"I hear the sound of monsters coming from Arclens City,"
"Is that so? It won't go smoothly,"
"This sound... It's a giant undead monster, with a fairly high level but still below level 150,"
"Ooohhhhh... I want to fight that monster, even though I'll win easily,"
"Wait... I sense something dangerous coming from over there,"
"Is there someone else?"
"WATCH OUT!!!!" Zepynr shouted to Maximilian.
Suddenly, someone appeared in front of them in full armor but with a very small body size, like a child under 10 years old.
=======================
Alicia is currently silently observing the knights' fight against the Death Giradeer, and she is also curious about Alice's situation fighting in another dimension.
"Quite boring... But this is Alice-sama's order, I cannot refuse it,"
"I have to guard this location and remain silent unless there is a threat,"
"I am the guild's weapon and the strongest Servant of Alice-sama, I must be able to be Alice-sama's sword,"
Suddenly, a group of knights surrounded Alicia, led by a female knight. They all wore full armor made of silver, carrying swords and quite large shields.
"Who are you?!" The female knight asked with an intimidating voice.
"Leave, Alice-sama did not instruct me to kill ants like you," Alicia warned the knights surrounding her.
"I'm Erina, the captain of the knights in this area. We don't know if you're an enemy or a friend, and what are you doing here!? Your aura looks dangerous,"
"I warn you for the last time, leave, don't disturb," Alicia said with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Sorry, but we can't just-"
Alicia immediately released her aura, and instantly the bodies of the knights surrounding Alicia shattered, and blood spurted in all directions.
"Pathetic humans..."
"Hmmmmm?"
Suddenly, Alicia detected that there were two powerful individuals with level 150, five kilometers from Arclens City, and they could potentially threaten her comrades and disrupt Alicia and Alice-sama's plans.
"Enemy detected..."
Alicia slightly bent her knees and flew at very high speed towards the two individuals. Alicia's speed was so high that she could reach the front of the two individuals within two seconds.
Here, Alicia was a bit confused about who she should kill first; both of them were equally strong, but the large-bodied person had a much higher defense.
(Maybe I'll crush the one on the right first.)
With tremendous strength, Alicia immediately struck the large-bodied person. However, the blow was successfully blocked by the large-bodied person's hands, but Alicia remained calm.
Instantly, the entire body of the large-bodied person shattered into small pieces due to Alicia's excessively powerful strike, and his blood spurted out, causing him to die instantly and disappear from Alicia's sight.
Alicia then observed the expression of the enemy with a normal-sized body, sharp teeth, and some scales on his skin.
"Are you afraid?" Alicia asked.
As she asked, Alicia immediately struck the person, but before her blow could land, the person suddenly produced a small dragon statue that emitted light.
The light blinded Alicia for a few seconds and made her forget what she had done earlier.
"What am I doing in the middle of the forest?"
Bloodstains were also visible on Alicia's shoes, and she examined the bloodstains.
"Why is there blood here?"
"Well... I might get scolded by Alice-sama if I don't return soon,"
Alicia then flew back to Arclens City at very high speed and stood on the roof of a resident's house, exactly where she was before.
========================
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!!!??????" Zepynr screamed after successfully escaping from the small monster.
"HOW COULD MAXIMILIAN, THE SEVENTH SEAT OF THE CULT, BE KILLED WITH JUST ONE BLOW!!!!?????"
"MY INSTINCT WAS RIGHT,,, DAMN!!!!!!"
"I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED TOO IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE GOD ITEM I STOLE FROM THE LUNARIAN THEOCRACY!!!!!!!"
Zepynr is now standing behind a tree, his breath completely irregular from the shock of witnessing one of the cult's seatholders being killed in a single attack.
After a few minutes, Zepynr tried to calm down.
"If that creature came from Arclens City... Heisen must be dead, right?"
"I have to report this at the cult leadership meeting; this could be a serious threat in the future because of its illogical power,"
"Its strength, its attack power is on par with the first seat of the cult,"
Zepynr is now starting to calm down after his breath returned to normal. Of course, Zepynr and Maximilian didn't have a close relationship, just colleagues, but seeing Maximilian being killed shocked Zepynr.
"Why did a creature that powerful only appears now?"
"For hundreds of years, no creature has been able to kill a seatholder of the cult in one attack,"
"Even Maximilian was killed with just a normal blow..."
"I have to get away from this location before the effect of the God Item wears off, and I can be detected by that damn creature,"
Zepynr then immediately ran at very high speed to the south, more precisely towards the Odaizar Kingdom.
