Mitus' ending was pretty anticlimactic, Ana completely suppressed him even when he tried to escape by releasing an overwhelming red aura, which was eventually suppressed by Ana's solid aura she created an aura net to counter Mitus' explosive aura.
Unfortunately, Ana's aura was unable to completely suppress Mitus' movement which ended up burning a very large area. If the team hadn't been a good distance away from the fight they would have been scorched by Mitus' scattered aura.
But ultimately the fight ended with Mitus being crushed by Ana's shield against the ground losing his consciousness. That last blow was violent enough to completely wipe out a matured green-core warrior, and so our ambush came to an end with our victory.
I didn't think it would end like this, it was a much less complicated fight than we expected we were really lucky that Mitus is so greedy, if he hadn't divided up his warriors and mages so much to protect such a huge convoy our advantages wouldn't have been spurred so easily.
Mainly our main advantage of having a superior quality when compared to ordinary warriors like those who made their living as low level criminals. Ultimately, each member of the team went through various trials to be labeled the elite of their generation on their own merits and personal ability.
In a fight between any of our team members against one of the smugglers would end up with the death of the smugglers, when both parties have gray cores. Combat between green core warriors is on a different level apart from some old ones or those with unique situations not to low quality green core warriors like gray cores who end up being unable to advance to the next level due to their lack of talent.
Binding Mitus he was taken to the cabin along with the deputy leader of his band of criminals, while the rest of the prisoners were thrown on the second floor and the slaves were taken to the top floor to be with the others.
We rounded up the slave's downstairs to keep them separate from the smugglers, because getting everyone in a closed space isn't a very good idea, now that the mission is over, we're not going to keep the smugglers in cages any longer, but for now we will. use the slaves who have already been cured and have been fed well during the last few days to take care of the new slaves who undergo the treatment of the healer mage.
She is doing this to try to lessen her crimes, your cooperation will be essential so that she doesn't suffer too severe punishment. Mages and mages with the ability to heal and purify are always valuable, she will likely be sentenced to serve a temple as a healer as a way of paying for her sins for a number of years that is convenient for the temple that 'buys' her.
Until her fate as a nun is confirmed she will treat all these slaves and the smuggler warrior who was crushed by Quinn, he had a lot of damage to his internal organs because of the blow he took during combat his condition was pretty bad and keep him alive has more advantages than problems, because of that he was the first cured and that already seems to have irritated some slaves who will soon no longer be slaves and Ana doesn't want to see them being arrested for killing the prisoners.
Keeping him away has been assigned to Abel, Nolan, and Fim and the rest of the team is keeping an eye on the smugglers who have just broken into the first underground floor. Inside the tent was just me, Ana and the two idiots who led this group of criminals who made a deal with a damn necromancer.
I was quite surprised when Ana asked me to rig a hush arrangement at the entrance to the stairs to prevent interrogation sounds from being transmitted downwards, she obviously wants no one to dare interrogate her and this is quite normal.
What is not normal and she asks me to make a barrier since she has that black box of evil and other magic tools, I'm very curious about this request.
The barrier I made is focused on soundbars since I don't need any kind of alarm in this rune set which is a very useful accessory for this type of barrier, it's always good to have an alarm to detect spies. But in the current situation I can easily see anyone trying to approach the stairs to try to spy on us, there's also the fact that most of the team is downstairs causing them to watch both the smugglers and their teammates as they were ordered to stay there.
When I finished making all the preparations the two smugglers were tightly bound by special rune chains that Ana took from her backpack, these chains were given to our group specially to arrest these two criminals.
They prevent a lot of the mana from the environment from entering their bodies because of the rune set engraved on them, and at the same time the metallic alloy of the chains drains their aura to feed the rune set engraved on them. For this alloy to be able to absorb a warrior's aura it must be in contact with their blood for an extended period of time.
The arms and torso of the two idiots are being pierced by some spikes that reach the veins to get in contact with their blood. Even for green core warriors it is quite painful to be pierced by so many long metal spikes and the feeling of being drained is not pleasant either.
I was surprised when Ana said that she had had special training to break this kind of chain before, her discretion in training gave me goosebumps. Going from destroying the current in a short time to resisting being interrogated when she has already been almost completely drained by the currents which by the way is torture alone, she said that the longer the drain is in effect the more pain and burning the warrior feel all over your body.
This chain is pretty cruel, I wonder how much it costs to buy one of these, it seems like a very useful item to have.
When Mitus first woke up he was silent and stared at both Ana and I with death glares, if his hatred could affect us, I would have been ripped to shreds by now. Ana took out a magic tool that when she turned it on, she seems to have started recording the interrogation.
Now it makes sense that she didn't use the interference box.
"Mitus, I advise you to cooperate with us by answering all our questions. You don't want to make your situation worse."
He started to laugh.
"Is that supposed to scare me you bitch?! I am already doomed to die; your words are useless."
Looks like someone is excited to be tortured.
"We know who you're working for, Mitus. You understand what that means, don't you?"
Hate turned to fear, no I'm wrong it was fear that dominated his hate and anger.
"Looks like you're not a complete idiot, if you don't cooperate you won't be tortured by us but by the paladins. I'm sure the goddess Helena's paladins, if you don't remember Mitus, are famous for invoking the purifying flames of their goddess, I'm pretty sure they'll love talking to you about a certain necromancer."
"Then? Are you going to talk to us or are you going to stand there silently while you drain and wait for the templars to get here?"
When silence dominated the tent, I noticed two things: the first is that the spearman woke up but he was pretending to sleep, he trembled when Ana started talking about templars the second and that Mitus is really a tricky guy to interrogate.
I lunge right at Mitus hitting him square in the stomach with a stab of aura scent, focusing my wind element in my fingers I rip a hole in the chain mail he wears under his leather armor and rip out a circle of metal that's glowing slightly red.
"Bastard! I will kill you son of a bitch!"
I ignore Mitus thrashing around in pain.
It's the first time I've seen a magic tool like this, the moment the currents started to drain Mitus' aura, he started putting his aura inside that magic tool as well. I have no idea what this does but I doubt it's a good thing for us.
"I have no idea what this disk is for, do you know what it is for?"
I hand the disk to Ana who wipes the blood off to get a good look at the runes on the disk, but she soon gives up and puts the disk away.
"I don't know either, how about you tell us what the disk is for, Mitus? Is he some kind of bomb? Or maybe it's something like a momentary reservoir for your aura, wanted to sweat it out to break the chains? You really think you could run away after breaking the chains."
But apart from the grunts of pain from his gaping wound, Mitus was silent.
"It seems like someone needs to be reminded of what pain feels like. Keep an eye out for any suspicious movements of these two idiots' auras, Wolf."
Ana began to beat up both Mitus and the spearman who was still pretending to sleep. He 'woke her up' with a kick between the legs, Ana is really cruel and direct.
She wants answers.
