Gordon Lazuli had collected all the loot from the regular humans.Interestingly most of them didn't just drop bloodline essence and bones but also spells and bloodline techniques.There were even some martial techniques.
Gordon would keep those to himself.It was best if the martial arts academy didn't learn about this or they would also be interested.Eldora also hadn't shown any interest in the spells though they were quite standard for now.
He exited the forest and shot a water bullet into the air.Moments later a scout drone collapsed midair and dispelled.It had been clear that the drone had observed the entire massacre.Not that it would do the mobs any good.
Gordon observed his surroundings.To the left was what looked like farmlands and some sort of shrine further on.Whilst to the right was a village of sorts with some caves nearby.It looked like some sort of shrine.
"I feel some interesting magic coming from the shrine.Its as though some sort of exchange or sacrifice is taking place." Eldora Galvano surmised as she looked into the distance through her projection.
Gordon's humanoid form sprouted drake wings and a scaly tail as he took to the air towards the shrine.It took mere seconds to reach it despite the distance.
Multiple figures were visible as they lowered themselves close to the base of the shrine.The shrine was like a large pyramid with a table at the top.A statue of a human woman was behind the table.The humans at the table appeared to be doing some sort of ritual.
"I honestly didn't take them to be the religious types."
"Well Gordon its actually a rather interesting topic but some dungeon mobs do actually worship their dungeon core's as gods.Considering their origins and the dungeons creation abilities its not hard to see why."
Eldora grinned in delight as she found religions quite interesting.There were churches in the world that worshipped a few gods and deities and they were powerful organisations.Watching and observing the religions of primitive dungeon mobs was far more interesting however.
Gordon watched as an elite human lay down on the sacrificial altar and was then promptly stabbed as the priestess did some sort of prayer.The blood from the elite human then flowed into some scales being held by the statue of the human woman.
The corpse of the elite human didn't dissolve into the dungeon but was instead moved into the middle of a ritual circle where 6 other elite humans were also corpses.
"I've seen enough let's put a stop to it."
"Oh Gordon don't be such a spoil sport.Its so interesting watching primitive cultures being themselves.Besides don't you want to see what happens when they complete the ritual."
A human near the ritual site turned his head and witnessed Gordon looking up at them.He waved his hand and ordered his fellows.
"SHRINE WARRIORS HOLD HIM OFF FOR NOW.MAKE SURE THE HOLY RITUAL FINISHES."
Gordon stood there as 16 elite humans dressed in primitive yet magical equipment advanced on him.Gordon didn't know this but all these elite humans were spawned in at level five and had their classes.They were all at the E rank and their classes were shrine warriors.
Every shrine warrior wielded a short bladed staff and wore masks with various facial expressions.They all had tattoos and wore warrior sandals and some sort of primitive wear around their pelvis.
"Hmmm these ones seem to be of a higher quality judging by their presence."
These shrine warriors generally were strong by human standards.They were skilled combatants and held powerful skills on top of being level 5.On top of that their class of shrine warrior increased their power and skill potency when fighting near the shrine of defending it.
This made each of them stronger then a boss human who had just spawned in.They charged at Gordon employing their glowing tattoos that enhanced their physicality.Gordon was surprised at the increase in quality but they were still insects to him.
Gordon summoned his weapon which was a trident and slashed out with it.The closest shrine warrior was immediately bisected without realising what had happened.
The other shrine warriors subconsciously tensed as they saw their comrade get instantly sliced in half.
"Is that all you have mighty shrine warriors?"
Gordon taunted the shrine warriors to which they turned to each other.They had quickly realised that they didn't stand a chance in a regular fight.
"Let's use the skill formation leopard slash hurricane."
Eldora's expression and excitement noticeably peaked when they mentioned the words skill formation.
The human shrine warriors entered position around Gordon who just stood there hoping to see something interesting.They all entered stances and glowed as they slashed with their short bladed staffs.
These slashes circled around Gordon manipulating the wind and in turn creating more slashes.A hurricane formed as the slashes condensed with the wind.The hurricane began to condense inward towards Gordon as countless slashes slowly arced towards him.
