Vincent and the others arrived at the scene.

Nerissa confirmed their identity as she took out a couple of things from their bodies.

There was three identity plaque that was given to them by the Demonic Cult… As expected, it was the cult that was backing this group. That's right, the cult was only backing or supporting them… They weren't really nurtured by the cult itself.

"They're not members of the Demonic Cult?" Vincent asked as he observes Nerissa's actions.

"That's right… The Cult is using a different kind of power and Sage Vivian called it Aether before. Although some cult members were studying the destructive power of corruption, it wasn't their source of power. They were just playing with it after learning it from others. They are still wary of the Corruption Energy since they can't control it and they have no cure for those affected by corruption." She explained.

Indeed, practicing the power of Corruption must be very dangerous especially if they don't have something similar to Bloodstone Armament that can extract or absorb corruption.

Vincent nodded in agreement as he noticed Nerissa pulling out another item in their bodies…

"Bloodstones?" Vincent asked in surprise.

These things are precious! Furthermore, there are three of them with the size of a fingernail.

"Yes… You have a good eye. However, these aren't simple Bloodstones… These are proof that they are members of the Creed. Creed of Eiqehin."

Nerissa replied as she showed the black markings on the bloodstones. It seems to be a throne with an eye in the middle.

Vincent raised his brows after hearing these new words and asked about it.

"Creed of Eiqehin? Is it a gathering of corrupt energy users?" He guessed.

"Yes… Eiqehin is the deity… or perhaps the goddess of Corruption. I would like to chat more about it but I don't think we have the time. We have to move…"

"I understand… But are we just going to leave these corpses here?" Vincent asked.

"Do you want to bury them?"

"No… I think that they're still wearing some Magic Tools, do you mind if I take them?"

"I don't mind. Go ahead but be quick—Ah…"

Before Nerissa could finish her words, she saw Vincent suddenly pull out a book and consumed the three corpses with its vacuum powers… Then, the book coughed out a total of six magic tools.

From this, she could guess that the three bodies just now have 2 magic tools each.

This is the first time she had seen such a weird Inscription in the book.

"That was impressive." She could only say this as she didn't really expect what he just did.

"It's nothing…" Vincent said as he gestured at her to continue moving. They were in a hurry after all.

They were still quite far so they have to quickly move…

Although Sage Vivian planned to trap or kill Joran inside the dungeon, there is still a small chance he could escape so they have to hurry.

"Should we have captured them alive? We can probably ask them if they still have other members lurking around." Vincent said.

"It's fine… Even if there are, they will be in the same place…" Nerissa replied.

If there were really other members of the Creed, then they would certainly go to the dungeon where Joran is currently trapped with the three Diamond Tier Manipulators…

***

After almost an hour had passed, they successfully crossed the mountain. They no longer encounter any members of the Creed but they were still blocked by dozens of Savage Beasts and a couple of Magic Beasts…

These beasts were quite active during the night after all. Nerissa would always take the front with her Automatons while Agatha would support from the side.

On the other hand, Millie would remain by Vincent's side as she felt a sense of duty to protect him from harm.

"We're getting closer… Be vigilant…" Nerissa announced as they got closer to the river.

This river is the sign that they're only 500 meters away from the Dungeon's portal…

"I can't sense any powerful Magic Beasts… They've probably been killed already." Millie muttered after observing the surroundings and using her senses.

As they continued moving and got closer to the dungeon, Nerissa looked at Millie again and asked.

"Can you try to focus underground? My sense can hardly penetrate the ground… The range would get even shorter."

"Let me try…" Millie replied.

Soon, her eyes were shocked as she realized a life force moving underground. It was actually slowly moving toward their location.

"What's this? I can sense something moving underground… If you didn't tell me to concentrate below, I'll definitely miss it."

Vincent frowned at this as he looked at Nerissa. He didn't know that there could be a potential threat underground.

"They're Crystal Snakes… They're active around this area. They're also the natural protectors of the dungeon's portal so there are not a lot of people coming into this area."

Nerissa explained.

"Are you going to kill them?" Vincent asked as he noticed her taking three silver spheres out of her pouch.

The size of the spheres doesn't match her small pouch so it must have the same principles as his Interspatial Ring.

"We can't… We just have to temporarily immobilize them… There should be 10 to 15 Crystal Snakes lurking around this area. My Silver Automatons can deal with this."

Soon, three Silver Mongooses appeared. They were all automatons that can be conveniently brought.

As soon as they received Nerissa's instructions, they immediately burrowed into the ground and released a sound attack…

"The one approaching us stopped moving…" Millie suddenly said.

"Good… It's only temporary so we have to move quickly. I'll continue stunning them like this until we reach the vicinity of the portal. We can't kill these snakes yet as we can still use them later in case Joran managed to escape." Nerissa said.

"We can use them? How?"

"They'll follow anyone who comes out of the dungeon for at least three kilometers. They can be ferocious so we can use them to test the waters. Of course, we can also surround Joran and block his escape path but we might as well get their help since it's free." Nerissa explained.

Although Vincent felt that it was unnecessary, he decided to just let Nerissa do as she wish since his senses have already been locked on the portal.

Anyone who comes out of it would be welcomed by his Soul Domain.
