"I wonder what's going to happen…." Carmen had a worried expression.
"Those damm devotees came at the wrong time. This just keeps getting better and better."
"What can you do. Life is always unexpected."
Rin drew finished the marking on the ground for the portal point and the portal began forming.
A large group of people started pouring out of the portal, their facial expressions were serious and the aura they were radiating was bloodthirsty.
'Strong….'
Rin and the squad gave a military salute which was returned to them by the new group.
"Squad ten and onmyouji Rin well done. You have stumbled upon a huge contribution. You will be rewarded when we return."
The squad was indeed happy but the man wasn't done speaking.
"You will be under our command to destroy the devotees. Headquarters have ordered their heads on a platter and it's our job to deliver."
"All warriors attention!"
Fifty warriors with stern expressions lined up in two straight rows, their backs as straight as possibly could be.
Six men with extraordinary presence came out of the portal and they were greeted by a simultaneous salute.
Two five star onmyoujis and four four stars onmyoujis. They were definitely the pillars of the army.
Onmyoujis were segregated based on strength and merit and it ranged from one to five stars.
Four stars onmyoujis were considered the elite of the elite and five stars they were considered the strongest of the army. Though even five stars had levels, that would be a story for a later date.
Sending these elites here meant the army was completely serious about wiping out the devotees.
"Send us the intel."
Charl nodded and intel was directly sent to their AIs.
"Twenty devotees isn't the problem but what are they doing underground?"
"Guess we'll find out."
"We will begin the raid immediately, those insane devotees will not escape."
Squad ten was absorbed by the other warriors while Rin was grouped up with the three star omyoujis which came with the warriors.
Frankly Rin and Squad ten were merely in the way but giving experience to the younger generation was something every army had to bear and young had to take the risk for the experience.
A high level fight was always an eye opener after all.
As they marched towards the suspected grounds, the warriors stealthily disposed of the monsters along the way. Clean and efficient were the words to describe them and were completely fine holding their own without the onmyoujis.
Even after training for five years, they never knew how far away they were from the experienced warriors but this was truly enlightening for Squad ten. They were completely outclassed.
As they arrived at the entrance of the suspected base, everyone crept in silently, Squad ten had trouble controlling their breathing due to their nervousness but their suits took care of the excessive noise thankfully.
They went down towards the basement of the building but strangely there wasn't a Monster or devotee in sight. It was eerily quiet….
