The black magic cult member immediately nodded profusely.
He didn't know how the other party had arrived in this Troll Kingdom, but this guy clearly looked like someone not to be trifled with. For the sake of his own life, he didn't care about loyalty.
"What is your purpose in abducting Giant children?"
"We plan to domesticate them and then lease them to countries in need."
"Lease?"
Takeshi frowned, not quite understanding what that meant.
"Yes, many countries are at war. Although Giant children are still young, with their inherent large physique and strength, once equipped with armor and sent to the battlefield, each one is a super warrior capable of fighting a thousand."
"Once they make a name for themselves, many countries will throw money at us, asking for our help."
The black magic cult member even seemed a little excited as he said this.
When Takeshi heard that these bastards actually wanted to send those children to war, he immediately cursed in his heart.
These black magic cult members were indeed a bunch of beasts, and they all deserved to die.
Takeshi suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask, "Are all the abducted Giant children imprisoned there?"
"Yes. There are a total of 120 children who were abducted, and they are all imprisoned there. We plan to abduct three hundred Giant children before leaving."
"How did you abduct the children?"
Takeshi was very curious about this. He had followed those children all the way here and hadn't seen anyone.
"It's..."
The black magic cult member hesitated.
Pfft!
Takeshi stabbed the guy's other leg.
"Waaahhhhhh!"
"Who is it?"
"It's Katoru!"
"Who is Katoru?"
"Katoru is a priest of my Black Magic Cult. He has a magical tool called the Hamil Flute. He previously disguised himself as a bard and visited the Giant Kingdom. Once they have heard the sound of the flute, if he plays it again, they will be under his control, no matter how far away they are."
"Another flute?"
When Takeshi heard 'flute', he immediately remembered the Lullaby he had dealt with not long ago. This thing wouldn't also be the work of Zeref, would it?
Takeshi felt that this possibility was very high. Zeref always felt that he was kind-hearted, but the things he created caused huge trouble throughout the world.
For hundreds of years, countless people had died because of some small things he casually created, which also led to the terrifying legend of Dark Mage Zeref.
Takeshi said, "This thing must have some limitations, otherwise, it wouldn't just control children. Wouldn't it be better to directly control the adult Giants?"
"This..."
The Black Magic Cult member hesitated, but seeing that Takeshi's eyes were already glinting fiercely, he quickly said, "Yes. I heard Katoru say that although the Hamil Flute is powerful, it can only control children under twelve years old. It has no effect on children over twelve years old."
Takeshi curled his lips.
This thing was really useless. What kind of combat power could children under twelve have?
"Who is Katoru? What does he look like?"
To completely solve the problem of abducted children, he only needed to find Katoru and then destroy that magic flute.
"I don't know what he looks like. He wears a black hat and a demon mask over his lower face."
"How many people are there in your Black Magic Cult in total?"
"Originally, there were 800 people, but only over 300 are left here."
"Don't kill me! I've told you everything I know."
Pfft!
The kunai in Takeshi's hand plunged into the other party's neck.
The other party stared with disbelieving eyes. He was very confused as to why Takeshi would still kill him after he had already told him all the information.
"Thank you. To show my gratitude, I gave you a quick death."
Takeshi now utterly detested the Black Magic Cult. These scoundrels simply didn't deserve to live.
When he watched the anime, the Black Magic Cult capturing the young Erza made him extremely dislike them. After seeing their revolting actions firsthand, he felt that all those guys deserved to die.
Takeshi formed hand seals.
Boom!
He transformed into the previously alive person.
Transformation Jutsu!
A basic ninjutsu from Naruto. It seemed to be very useless, but for infiltration and gathering intel, this ninjutsu was a divine skill.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, Takeshi returned to the dungeon.
Everything was silent, no one noticed that the person had been replaced.
Takeshi glanced around. This dungeon was very large, and the Black Magic Cult members were scattered everywhere. It would be difficult to defeat these guys in an instant. If they weren't dealt with immediately, those Giant children might be in mortal danger.
So, the best way was to first teleport those little brats back so he could fight without restraint.
Takeshi formed hand seals.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Bang!
A clone identical to his current self remained in place.
Takeshi's main body appeared in Buli's pocket. He had previously left a Flying Thunder God Technique mark there.
"Buli."
Buli's face lit up when he heard Takeshi's voice.
"Takeshi-nii."
"How is it? Did you tell them everything?"
"I told them everything."
"Good, you distribute these kunai to them and have them stick the kunai near their collars. Then tell the children to gather together and hold hands. I'll send you all away in a moment."
Buli immediately took some of his newly made friends and quickly distributed the kunai with the Flying Thunder God marks.
Nothing had happened for a long time, and this was the Troll Kingdom's capital. Giants were so large that rescuing them would require a direct charge. Plus, these little brats were all wearing special explosive collars, so they weren't worried about these little brats escaping. Therefore, the supervision was very lax.
Soon, everything was ready, and Takeshi's clone immediately began to act.
The clone walked up to a Black Magic Cult member.
"Hey, it's not time for a shift change yet."
Pfft!
The clone, holding a kunai, stabbed the other party in the waist.
"Uwaahhhhhh!"
The other party let out a painful scream, looking at Takeshi in disbelief.
His good friend, whom he saw every day, was actually trying to kill him.
"Long live Dark Mage Zeref!!!"
The screams and Takeshi's shouts immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Quick, everyone! Stop Slark! He's gone mad!"
Many other Black Magic Cult members saw this scene and surrounded him to stop him.
While the clone was attracting attention, Takeshi began to move.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
