3439 Cult Facility I
“The realm will hunt you down,” I said, and they let out a crackling laugh.
“The realm won’t find us,” it said and moved its hand toward me.
I wanted to run away, but it had held me down with his power. I am powerless against it.
“There is no escape, human,” they said and gripped my neck, when suddenly, they froze, before a powerful aura blasted out of their body, at the same time, they gripped my neck tighter, cracking its bones.
“You bastard!” he cursed in a loud shrill voice.
It is his real voice and from the sound of it. He is a man and currently, he is extremely angry.
As for why he is angry, there is a blue card that appears on my hand, and it’s glowing in a powerful tracking formation.
The card belongs to Sonal; the closest prime organization.
As I had expected. It had activated the moment I brought it out and imprinted me with its mark.
A powerful make that not even Sky Sovereign could erase; only a Prime would be able to erase it.
It had not only marked me, but also sent a beacon, which wouldn’t even take a minute to reach them. The moment it does, they will send something, and I hope it is Prime.
There is a chance they will send a prime.
Their member would have already told them who she gave this card to, and they wouldn’t want to lose one of the best seeds there is.
I may not be realm’s standard, but I am definitely at Prime’s standard.
“Hehe. Take me and you will have a prime on your tail,” I said, with a low voice.
Which made him grip my neck even tightly, that no words could come out.
“You will pay for this painfully,” he threatened with anger dripping through my voice and moved me toward the group with a speed I couldn’t fathom.
BANNNNNG!
I found myself crashing against the ground so hard that every bone of my body broke, and I reached near death.
I was fighting hard to keep myself conscious, when powerful energy struck my soul, sending me to the elysium.
…
“Killing him would be better,” said the man, but immediately found himself under the glare of the older man.
“Look at this reading! Do you know how much pay for this human,” said the older man angrily, while showing the data, which made the eyes of the first man, go wide.
“Such purity! How can he achieve it?” said the first man, shock and greed appeared in his eyes, which made the old man glare at him more.
“Don’t even think about it. We have signed the contract and we have a deliver the goods,” warned the older man.
“I have never seen purity of soul and body at such a level. If we could make him level up to Earth Sovereign; it would benefit us tremendously,” said the first man.
The older man got angry, and his eyes softened before he shook his eyes.
“You know very well. What happened to those who broke the contract? We cannot keep him.”
“Though we are going to demand a very high price for this treasure,” said the older man, and the first nodded reluctantly.
Greed had not eaten his brain; the people they were working for were extremely dangerous. If they tried anything, death would be mercy.
“What about the mark?” asked the first man.
“The disk will suppress till they arrive. After that, it is their responsibility,” replied the second man, looking at the black disk on the human’s chest.
….
A sharp pain brought me back to consciousness and my eyes flew open, only to see myself submerged in gel.
Not gel, a living being.
I am inside a living being, and there is an artifact attached to my nose and mouth.
Providing me with breath and also acting like a silencer.
I am frozen without the ability to twitch and have crystalline tentacle things attached to my body in thirty-six places from head to toe, with a crystal sphere attached to my chest.
I calmed myself in panic and looked at things clearly, especially memories.
It had been six days since they had captured me, and three hours since they had put me here.
I had traveled a huge distance before coming to the place and they have wiped away the tracking mark of prime.
Crushing my hope; they did it through the artifact. Which made me relieved for some reason.
Likely because my real level is still unknown to them.
I don’t know why it matters, seeing I am captured by some really powerful cult who has the artifact to wipe away the mark of the prime.
I am fucking scared, but I pushed those thoughts and focused on my condition, which is not good.
I am inside a slime, from what I could gather, and its internal tentacles have pierced me. Inside me, they have brought into every corner of my body and wrapped around my core with a heart at its center.
The purple-blue crystal attached to my chest is no crystal, but the core of the slime, whose inside I am in.
As for the reason of elaborate set-up and my capture; it is harvest my true essence.
Not a normal essence, but a true essence.
The purest of all; harvesting it is thousands of times harder than harvesting normal essence, which is not an easy process itself.
Twelve internal tentacles are sending herbal and essences, along with different energies, into my body. Which would merge it with me, at the same time, the twenty-four tentacles would work to draw out my true essence.
Through this process, they will be able to draw out my true essence for decades, even centuries.
I am an intelligent, sentient being who had become a resource for them, which they could keep harvesting for centuries.
I am not alone here alone; from little I could see.
There are lines of slimes in front of me, and I am, I am in another line of slimes.
I am in a harvesting facility of the cult.
I was thinking about the implication of that when I saw three people appearing in front of me.
They looked at me and discussed something, while noting down, data flashing in front of the slime.
I wanted to use forbidden power badly, but I controlled myself and watched the three people. Who remained in front of me before moving to another slime beside me.
Seeing them behave like this, I felt a volcanic rage rise in my heart.
I wanted to tear this slime apart and crush them, but I was powerless. So much that I couldn’t even scream.
They have sealed me in body and power, and there is not just one seal, but three of them.
It is a powerful seal of the Sky Sovereign who blocked my pathways with his power. The second is a formation seal, which covers my core and veins; it is also very powerful.
These two seals are nothing compared to the third seal, which these tentacles of slime had formed because it couldn’t be broken.
The moment I try even the slightest; it will sense it immediately and act.
