Chapter 211
I dart silently up a tree behind the first sentry and cripple him with a touch to the leg, before binding his hands behind his back and tying him to the tree so he doesn’t fall before he can move.
I circle wide through the trees, getting behind my second target. He’s so focused on the Priestesses that he didn’t even scan the area the entire time between me disabling the first sentry and me disabling him. He’s kind of creepy, so I take a moment to block energy flows through his arms after tying him up. They’ll be numb for a few days, but he’ll recover. Call it a preventative measure.
The third can’t even be counted a a sentry. Everyone has noticed him in his hiding spot. He’s got something in his hands though, a paper of some sort. It’s that a photograph? Where did he get a camera from anyhow?
I decide to search his belongings for the camera when I notice the content of the photo. It’s a nude of the Priestesses in the bath this morning. We’ll, that makes it easy, I’ll just take the camera off his corpse. Nobody will miss one little sentry, right?
He snaps out of his reverie just as the energy surges through my hand and I remove his head from his neck. I remove the storage ring from his finger and stuff the body inside, silently berating myself for not just breaking his neck. I made a mess.
I search the ring and find what I’m looking for, A fancy digital camera with built in printer. Looking it over carefully to see if there’s anything odd about it I notice a label on the bottom. Made In Korea. Well I’ll be, it’s from my Earth.
That means there’s likely to be an active portal near here somewhere, nothing on Earth is a danger to these cultivators, there’s no reason to close it from this end. Though he might have been traveling when he found the portal.
[Found technology that belongs to my world on a sentry. Be careful, they might have weapons from my world that can cause serious injuries even to you.] I link John with significant effort. Not being in the same pack makes it an exercise in mental energy transmission and I’m not very good at it.
As I’m returning I can hear the voices of a search party looking for us. "They must be close now. Boss says eliminate the dead weight and bring him the child."
Child? I’m not that small. It’s just that the Lycans are huge. Sneaking through the trees I can see that they’re all equipped with rifles, likely using enchanted ammunition too. If that’s how it is, two can play at that game. Where’d I put that Browning?
A call comes in though their communication token, they’ve surrounded the others. I ready the machine gun and chase them through the woods. These rounds should be good against even immortals, but if they’ve got Divine Realm cultivators there I’ll need a new plan.
