Gacha Sovereign

203 Another Problem?

Putri fell to despair. This was a nightmare. The bastard\'s hand almost touched her chest before suddenly, the purple light vanished. Darkness enveloped the world once again.

All of the people were bewildered by the sudden disappearance of their \'weapon\'. Putri also shocked by this. Her strength slowly returned to her body. And not long after, there was suddenly a rain of swords. Specifically, it was ten swords. There were seventeen members at present, including the leader. The moment the swords appeared, it killed ten members, in other words, one sword for one member.

When Putri saw the swords and realized, it was the technique of their sect, \'Omnislash\'. Song Yu had practiced this too. With this timing, there was only one possibility. It was from Alex. Her eyes brightened, Alex still alive. Now that her strength had come back to her. She thrust her spear as strong as she can. She let out all the anger and hate in her heart. She completely blew both of the hands of the leader.

Both she and Alex used the current confusion to attack.

"Argh!" The leaders screamed in pain. Without him knowing it, and because of the confusion, he suddenly lost both of his hands. He looked at Putri in disbelief. He shouted. "Kill...kill her!"

The last six of the members immediately moved as ordered. The second wave of the swords was coming. The last six members, three of them had 1-Star Grandmaster stage cultivation, two in 2-Star Grandmaster, and the last one had 3-Star Grandmaster stage cultivation.

When the swords were raining down, three of them managed to react, but those who were in 1-Star Martial Grandmaster can\'t escape from Alex\'s swords. Putri suddenly disappeared and used her fastest speed to kill the 3-Star Grandmaster Stage. Because of Alex\'s diversion, she managed to kill 3-Star Grandmaster Stage in one shot. After that, she destroyed the rest of the members.

Alex had used the darkness and their confusion to kill their weakest members with an ambush. Of course, Putri\'s presence was also played a big part in it.

After killing those people, there was only the leader left. Putri glared at him angrily. She released the full might of 7-Star Martial Grandmaster. Inside the array suppression, she might be powerless. But now it was gone, there was no one capable of stopping her rage.

The leaders knew that he was doomed. "You... no no, don\'t kill me. Please. I will do anything."

Putri didn\'t say anything. She only kept her cold gaze focused on him as she raised her spear.

"AAHHHH!"

Alex, in the darkness, chose to look away for the time being. After confirming, the scream had died out. Alex finally appeared in front of Putri. He looked at Putri with blood sprayed on her clothes and some on her beautiful face. Alex rather not see the corpse under her. It was...rather...brutal. Behind, her elegant and reliable Senior Sister side, there was a devil. Alex swore he wouldn\'t piss her off too much.

Judging from the scream from far. Alex knew she had some unpleasant things just now. When Alex appeared in front of her, she was relieved. She released the spear in her hand and grabbed his shoulder, checking him up and down. After experiencing that unpleasant thing, her focus was still on him.

"You are alright...That\'s good. Where have you been this whole time? Did you do something with the array?"

"Well..." Alex started explaining his story.

A few minutes ago, he felt his time had run out. He still hadn\'t checked all the symbols inside the room. He thought Putri must have retreated to the town since the time running late. He can defeat someone weaker than the city lord, or in other words, 4-Star Martial Grandmaster or below with the help of Anna or maybe along with Leoz. He thought he could camp out here for a while until he found the core.

But to his surprise, the array suddenly got activated. The might of the suppression showed its prestige. Even his Phoenix Fire was suppressed by it. He saw Sherry also got suppressed, but she was still fine, considering her fire was almost at the Pure Fire level. Suddenly, Alex felt the Fire Phoenix Seed inside his body revolved crazily. The pure fire started gushing out from his body, fighting the might of the suppression.

The moment the pure fire was out, the suppression was gone. This was the true fire that called as \'Absolute Flame\'. Want the absolute to bow down? Dream on.

Without the suppression, Alex can move clearly. When the array got activated, the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy filled the room. Alex immediately activated his spirit eyes. Before, he can\'t see anything since there was nothing to see. But this time, when he tried to see his surroundings, he noticed there was a Spiritual Energy concentrated in one spot. When he saw that spot, it was the exact same as the picture of the core.

Alex took out his spear and threw it there.

"Spear Throwing Art. Power Throwing"

With the power came from the Power Throwing. The Core, along with its surrounding symbol, got destroyed. It made a small crater on the ground. The light suddenly dimmed down, and the array was deactivated. Alex immediately pondered why the array got activated. After all, if his senior sister had retreated, they won\'t activate the array. He immediately thought of Putri, "Senior Sister? She didn\'t retreat?"

Alex immediately used his fastest speed to go to the village. After all, the room itself was directly below the village\'s center. Alex saw Putri slowly regaining her strength while surrounded by seventeen men. He can\'t see her expression because of the darkness. However, he still can feel the killing intent originated from her body. He immediately used Omnislash to cover her.

...

"That is the story. I\'m sorry, Senior Sister. It seems my actions have put you in an unpleasant situation. I..." Before Alex completed his words.

Putri only hugged him, the tears formed on the corner of her eyes but didn\'t fall down. "It\'s alright. As long as you are fine. You might not know about it, but I had long treated you as my younger brother. Senior Sister Song Yu like elder sister and Master like a mother."

Alex was surprised by it. Although he only had known then for nine months, he at least felt they were his comrades. But it seems he still underestimated how others felt about him. Or maybe this senior sister of his was a bit special? He didn\'t know it, though.

He was standing until she satisfied. Not long after, Putri released him.

"I\'m sorry. I let my emotion took over me just now" Putri said while trying so hard to get back to her elder sister like figure.

"It\'s fine. Is this all the people of the evil cult? I also have killed five of them in the underground base."

"Yeah, I think we have killed all of them. We should go back now and let the city lord clean up this place" Putri said.

"I still have another thing to do. It won\'t be long, only a few minutes" Alex said.

"Sure, what are you going to do?"

"Making a grave. Ah, not for these evil people, but for the people who had been sacrificed by them. Inside the basement was even more hazardous than here." Alex said while rolling his eyes.

Putri nodded. Alex then made a grave for them and put the gravestone on it. Putri closed her eyes and said. "Amsaya"

"Amsaya?" Alex tilted his head.

"It means farewell. It was to bid goodbye for the deceased." Putri explained.

"Oh." Alex nodded and also said, "Amsaya"

After that, Alex and Putri went to the city lord again and reported the case. The City Lord offered them to stay in his house for a night since it was night. Alex and Putri didn\'t mind and accepted his offer. After all, Putri also needs to take care of the blood on her body.

"What should we do, Junior Brother? Should we go back to the sect?"

"Hmm, I just don\'t feel like it. I really wanted something to soothe my mind a little. Especially after watching that scene. I might not be able to cultivate in peace for a while" Alex said.

"Indeed. Just after hearing your story, I too felt like that. And you are the one who saw the scene. So, I think we can slow down first. Oh, that\'s right, back then, Senior Sister and I visited a restaurant in a slightly bigger city than this, it was only a few more cities from here, and it was in line to our home. The restaurant was famous for its wine. So how about it?"

Alex nodded, "Yeah, maybe we should"

Alex felt since opening up and said all the pieces that needed to be said, Putri\'s tone became a bit brighter and friendly in his ears.

"What is the city\'s name?"

"Green Star City"

Alex nodded. The next day, they went to check the site to make sure they didn\'t leave a single thing and completed their mission. Of course, the city lord had brought his soldiers along with him to clean up the mess.

The mission was only to scout the evil cult in this region. But things happened, and they had solved it. They had completely forgotten about it because the scale suddenly increased. If they went back to the sect and reported it, the evil cult might have become an evil sect and had taken root here.

If the sect mobilized the disciples to attack here, the loss would be massive, considering they had Elemental Suppression Array. Fortunately, Alex was also an array master. Putri only knew that he had some knowledge and not an actual array master, though. The soldiers found the dead body in the underground. They thought that Putri was the one who killed them as they were stronger than Alex. Alex and Putri didn\'t go to the underground as Alex had destroyed the array. The soldiers only need to clean up the symbol and it was done.

After confirming, they had finished their mission with flying color. Alex and Putri finally flew toward the Green Star City.

They didn\'t know their action last night was monitored by someone. Alex had checked with his Spirit Eyes. There were no other suspicious people in the day. But he didn\'t check it at night. After Putri confirmed, the evil cult members were only them with a total of twenty two people. If Alex had checked it again with his Spirit Eyes, he would be able to see that there was someone hidden in the woods, watching them.

After confirming the cult had been destroyed by Alex and Putri, he immediately went away and reported it to his superior.

...

Somewhere far away,

"Are you sure?" A middle-aged man asked. This middle-aged man had purple short spiky hair. Piercing on his nose, and a dragon tattoo on his neck. He wore a yellow suit with black pants. He looked at the guy in front of him, reporting.

"Yes, I have watched it in my eyes. That night was supposed to be the night to exchange our goods. Two Heavenly Sword Sect\'s disciples had killed all the members, and I can\'t proceed with the transaction." He said. Because he was covered with full black clothes to mask himself in the darkness, there was no noticeable trait that can be seen except his blue eyes.

"How dare they stand in our way! This is the chance that our family has been waiting to raise. But two snotty disciples have ruined our chance. I can\'t forgive them. I don\'t care if they are Heavenly Sword Sect\'s disciples or some elders disciple. I wanted them dead!" He was enraged. He had maintained the transaction for a few months. And the goods managed to make their family\'s power far stronger. They can raise to be a prominent family if not because Alex and Putri.

"Describe their appearance."

"The first one is a girl with a cultivation of 7-Star Martial Grandmaster. She has long green hair and a pretty face. Even fiancee\'s of Young Lord might lose by far. If I\'m not wrong, her name must be Putri Wulan. She is the disciple of the ninth elder. The second one is a male, he only has 7-Star Martial Master Cultivation, but it seems he was the one who contributed the most in destroying them. The noticeable thing from him is his golden hair and black eyes. I don\'t know his identity. But family head, the female is the ninth elder\'s disciple, are you sure we will kill them?"

"WE WILL KILL THEM! I have said. No matter who they are, I will kill them! We can ambush them or something and not leaving any trace of it. Besides, we have two 10-Star Martial Grandmaster, three 9-Star Martial Grandmaster, five 8-Star Martial Grandmaster, and still many Martial Grandmaster stages martial artists in our family, thanks to the goods delivered by them. If not because of them, we can become a prominent family in the capital city, not in this sh*tty city!" He was enraged. He said with a stern tone, not giving the chance to reject.

"Understood. I will try to locate them"
