Chapter 618-A Cruel Culling.

The group of the military quickly formed around the perimeter. Even with their ragtag look, when arranged together, the members formed a very attentive soldiers" unit, all of them now looking sharp and straight as they awaited the order from the guy who looked like the one taking the lead.

"HAVE ALL GATHERED?"

The man asked, using his mana to spread the voice all around. The gathering of members was about at Origin levels 7 and 8, all of them, their auras spreading around to create a powerful gathering of mana as they shouted out.

"WE ARE!"

The shout spread around with full power, joined by the forceful voices of Austin and Sabrina, who stood side by side. In normal circ.u.mstances, it"s nearly impossible to just dress up or disguise as a soldier and enter inside it to join a raid. Each and every soldier will have their unique mana signature registered to the place.

Moreover, every soldier themselves will have an idea about their fellow soldiers, not to mention the extremely powerful people here who might be able to break through and see the disguises. Yet, at this moment, somehow fate or, in this case, the woman controlling this historic world seems to have bent some of their will to allow the two of them to join the ranks without any problems.

"If such an army exists on the outside, chaos and death will be the last of the world"s problems."

Austin mused as he looked at the powerful gathering. He knows much more than this is just a small scale, not that very important level of military when comparing it to the lost golden age. An age where people with the level of G.o.ds walked a lot, especially ones at the high-level G.o.ds, many even being primogenitors of several races, many of them created by Orpheus.

A time when the level of strength is completely skewed. As such, the march began, the man in a more well-defined green uniform taking the lead in the sky, flying like it"s normal while the rest took the ground. A march of power filled the entire area as they all kept moving through the rubbles till they reached an open ground with a swirling portal.

Without any words, the man took the lead, entering first, while the group consisting of Austin and Sabrina soon followed. The swirling s.p.a.ce quickly brought them into a huge forest seemingly spanning wide and far. Besides him, he could feel a hiccup from Sabrina, a sound of both pain and pleasure leaving her.

This led to Austin taking his hand to be held with hers, his mana slowly swirling inside her, one filled with his unique power of healing by hiding its unique protruding which quickly started to circulate within Sabrina, cooling her down. The funny thing is that none of the other soldiers seemed to even mind or pay attention to the actions of the two of them.

"Though this is one h.e.l.l of a forest."

Austin thought, the size of the trees being high enough that nothing can be seen, the powerful presence of mana here is enough to make normal citizens easily reach the level of Origin 4 without needing any special techniques or a great plate to hold talent and mana. While thinking so, he felt Sabrina beside him calm down.

"You okay?"

Austin sent out a telepathic message. It took a few seconds for the answer to come back.

"I"m feeling fine now."

"Need me to still hold your hand?"

Austin teased, which led to Sabrina immediately letting go of his hand, a chuckle leaving his lips at her move. He knows that for Sabrina, things will only be getting weirder for her, the mana and aura being a bit too much for her to easily adapt. The atmosphere before was one filled with corrupted mana making it hard for Sabrina to control things.

But this here is the exact opposite; the mana here is too powerful and welcoming of hers. Such that her mana flow is so good that her natural control is making it hard for her to keep herself in control, that and the specialty of her gift coming into play.

"LET"S MARCH AND GET RID OF THESE INCESTS!"

With that shout, the man took the lead in the sky, keeping forth as he kept moving forward, his powerful voice leading the soldiers to walk with an even higher purpose as they moved forth. With just a snap from the man in front, the entire army vanished, soon appearing in a gathering of several different species moving around in the forest.

A beautiful opening is created in the forest, with several happy yet excited species moving to make a life together, to form a sense of connection within the war where only hate and hatred seem to thrive for all the species around. A place existent of love or the ideology of growth or happiness.

Yet within that, all these different species gathered together, forming a small-scale place to make a living, to somehow find happiness together, and guarding all that being a small-scale group of militia bearing the color blue. Their numbers are on the smaller side yet their skills and strength seem to be on the higher side than the army that Austin came along with.

"Urgh!... disgusting, to think our blood would live equally with such vermin."

One of the soldiers spoke, which was soon followed by the talks of the rest of the group, their words not being much different from the first soldier, all of them expressing their disgust for people working together.

"What a level of cruelty..."

As Austin thought so, he could see the pure fear burning within all the people in the gathering as they came upon the soldiers who suddenly arrived. The funny thing is that these normal mortals living life seem to be at powers ranging from origin level 2 to origin level 4, all of it naturally being achieved by just breathing and living.

"Just what is this Era? Where are we?"

The call of Sabrina filled my ears yet I didn"t respond to it, the sounds of alarms ringing sounded out, the cries of the others filled the forest, and the man in the lead snapped his finger, producing a humongous fireball as he threw it to the ground, to burn all of the ones below yet before it could touch the ground, the thing turned to frost, became water, and just turned to gas, all of this happening in seconds.

"I WILL NOT LET THE LAST STAND BE LOST!"

The shout of a woman was heard, she appeared in front of the floating leader of the little group that Austin arrived in, while the group consisting of Austin and Sabrina started to move, the perfectly connected group breaking apart as they started to move and attack the people below, hoping to kill them all.

At the same time, the other military groups from the other side started to move, they though being in lesser number stood out both in power and military movement, all of them moving at coordinated and controlled movements both to move the people and attack the opposers at the same time.

Up above the battle between the Imperial-ranked leader and the elven woman began before Austin could even get a good look at the woman in question, within seconds the happiness and quietness of the forest broke into a full-on war, and in between all this, Austin jumped forth held Sabrina"s hand and used his magic to quickly make the two of them invisible and move around the entire chaos happening.

Sabrina might have been able to do the same if it weren"t for the fact that she can"t precisely control her mana, the reason behind it being the sudden boost in the mana, to make an example anything she does now will at least be 3 times more powerful than normal, which means one needs an extreme level of mana control to get used to this.

For Austin, he is already used to all of this having dealt 

with different Historic worlds, plus having to use and control mana when he activates his connection to the other G.o.ds, thus having already experienced using mana and power on the level of the highest G.o.ds there is.
