Although the tree was hundreds of meters away from us, Dell was so eager to study that we ended up under the tree where Yuyi humanoid was killed.

Looking up, the top of the tree looked like it had been blown up, completely gone. Some branches were still emitting smoke, as if they had been forcibly torn apart by something. It seems that the tearing crosses are indeed able to tear the opponent apart, just like their name suggests.

"Even though different materials were used, your attack is still very effective."

Dell picked up a metal component from the ground, not knowing what it was, and said.

"Can you tell what this is?"

"How is that possible..."

"Well, this is the thigh frame of a humanoid. Look at this part, it looks like it was chopped off by an axe. I guess the other parts are in similar condition."

"I see. But the other side has probably obtained a lot of information as well, right? They have that teleportation message thing, like a black box."

"You mean that magic ball that records the final battle information? Don't worry, this guy probably doesn't have it because he directly loaded his soul in there, so it was a direct soul transfer back."

"In any case, our fighting style has been recorded. Hopefully, he won't figure out our identities... but you will definitely be exposed, since you used an electromagnetic cannon in the fight."

"It doesn't matter."

Dell shrugged indifferently.

"I have nothing to fear. It's you who has so many connections in this world and that's the most dangerous thing. Although the people in this world can't completely eliminate you, they can definitely kill your friends."

"You... when did you become so sinister?"

"I always have been, and you aren't any different, are you?"

"No, no, no. I advocate peace and believe in the inherent goodness of human nature as a pacifist."

"Is that so? I didn't see that."

"Just proves that your perception is not good enough."

"Alright, alright, enough nonsense. Look, apart from the fragments, there is nothing else here, right? How did the other side manage to bring so many humanoids over?"

Dell was right. We wandered around nearby, but apart from the black robe left by Yuyi and pieces scattered on the ground, there was basically nothing else.

Although there was grass on the ground, it wouldn't cover the traces.

"How is that possible? Could it be that they can directly summon those humanoids out of thin air?... Is it space magic?"

"Space magic? That's impossible, impossible. Unless they have a space mage, how could they do it? And the space mages on this continent are all practicing in very dangerous places, after all, they are close to the realm of gods."

"Hey, hey, just like that, they're already in the realm of gods? Is that okay?"

"What's the problem? The person in this world closest to the realm of gods is the Pope of the Church of Light, don't you know? It's said that under certain circumstances, the Pope can completely resurrect a person. I don't know if it's true or not."

There is a way to completely resurrect a person in front of you, but you have to pay with your own life.

And the thought of digging out your own heart is terrifying, I don't want to!

"Okay, enough about gods, let's first solve the problem of how this guy brought the humanoids over. Besides space magic, there is only one other possibility, this guy has a ring or something that can store many humanoids..."

"Have you not considered any other possibilities?"

"What?"

Looking at Dell's intentionally mysterious expression, it really irritated me. This guy turned out to be quite malicious in nature.

"For example, the other side has a base nearby, or a mobile base or something."

"Hey, hey, this is not a joke. A mobile base... no, maybe the other side just used something like a container to transport the humanoids."

"A container?"

Dell looked at me as if I were an idiot.

"How is that possible?"

"Why not? Have you forgotten already? Didn't we just have a big battle with a guy who can transport containers?"

Indeed, the initial culprit that caused us to lose a significant number of personnel is the medium-sized magical beast, the gryphon. This creature is at least ten meters long, and if it were folded up like a humanoid and put in a box, it could fit hundreds. However, the enemies we encountered, although appearing to be many, were only a few hundred in number.

"... "

After a moment of contemplation, Dell started running.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing... do you want to claim the gryphon's corpse all for yourself? Stop right there!"

Realizing his intentions in an instant, I accelerated to catch up with him. But before I knew it, a flash of purple light appeared at his feet, and something resembling a flying device emerged. He then turned into a purple blur and dashed away.

Damn it! He actually had such a badass device but didn't use it earlier! This guy...

"Accelerate! Shadow! Spirit of the Wind!"

Wind elements around me gathered frantically, and in an instant, I transformed into a green shadow and pursued him.

——————————LOADING-------------------

Although I was confident in my speed, when I arrived, he had already stored the entire gryphon in his ring!

"Hey, hey, hey! This is not logical! That thing was huge!"

I couldn't help but complain, unsure whether it was directed at Dell or the world, but it seemed reasonable to blame the world!

"Because it's an item, the 'gryphon's corpse' only takes up one slot."

Dell calmly explained.

"Hand it over! That thing looks like great material for crafting equipment!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you've already obtained a lot of valuable items. Just give me this one. Look, I have no interest in those scrolls, and I already have all the data on humanoids. I can even build an identical one, so this gryphon seems more useful to me. Once I figure out how to turn it into a mechanical gryphon, it will undoubtedly be the strongest air force!"

"Leave the bones for me though."

"... Fine, fine."

Dell shrugged helplessly and nodded.

"..."

However, looking at the corpses on the ground, a strange restlessness suddenly welled up within me.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ah... it's nothing..."

What's wrong? What is this feeling? Is it sadness? Definitely not that kind of feeling, but what is it...

"In any case, these people once fought alongside us. Let's give them a proper burial."

After saying that, I surveyed the positions of the surrounding bodies and took out my wand.

"Earth Devour!"

Layers of soil around the corpses were flipped, burying them underground.

"May they rest in peace..."

"Amen!"

Suddenly, hearing those words, I turned around and saw Gabriel, who appeared beside us at some point.

Terrifying! Couldn't this guy walk without making a sound?

But he walked directly to the giant tomb I had created and inserted a cross.

When did this guy make that?

"Let's go, finish this mission quickly, or more sacrifices will follow."

"You are an assassin, after all, right?"

"I only kill the bad ones because... they don't have the right to rest in peace."

Looking at Gabriel's fierce gaze, I knew... this guy wasn't kidding.

Indeed, this guy is still terrifying...
