Chapter 317: Talk About Greenwood And...?!

-----
"Stop ignoring me you too! Am I just a test subject?! And do you intend to conquer my sect? Why didn't you just killed me then?" asked the Sect Master.
"Come on, we don't work like that. You're now enslaved through your soul to us. We don't want to bother with maintaining the sect, so it is technically still yours. Feel free to do whatever you want with it." I said.
"Wait, what?!" he asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, we'll be like… in the shadows or something. We might help your sect with our inventions and stuff, but we'll mostly take off in a few days, we'll communicate with you and come back a few times here and there, and well, there will be our spies everywhere too so don't try anything funny." Said Benladann.
"Y-You're for real?" asked the sect master. He couldn't believe it.
"Yes… Now you're our servant too, so don't ask too many questions and do as you always do, like a good sect master." I said.
"S-So this is my future now… a pawn of another person… At the very least you're strong enough." Sighed the sect master.
"Take it easy, man, you got your stuff here and we won't take anything that is not necessary, though we will most likely loot your entire treasure, I hope you don't mind," I said.
"Of course I mind! …But sure, go ahead. I guess I shouldn't really care anymore." He sighed.
"Think of this as a new beginning. Try to find a woman and have a kid too if you can, you're old yet you don't even have a family yet…" said Benladann.
"Gahh….!"
The Sect Master felt as if a spear pierced his chest.
"Benladann, that was a bit too rough on your side," I said.
"O-Oh, sorry… but for real, if you're going to stay here doing nothing, might as well find a girl and love her and make children, right? Isn't that our primal purpose as living beings? To make babies and reproduce?" wondered Benladann.
"…You have a point there. I have been concentrated my entire life on growing stronger… since that time when those machines by Greenwood massacred my entire village! They probably grabbed a Unique Skill user from there… Sigh…" the sect master said, revealing something pretty big.
"Oi, oi, oi, what did you just fucking said?!" I asked.
"Huh?! W-What?" asked the sect master.
"You just said… Greenwood? You know that damned man?" asked Benladann.
"What? You know him?" asked the sect master.
"I guess now that you're our servant, it's worth telling you the truth. Indeed, we are Unique Skill users, and that bastard burnt down Benladann's village and killed everyone there." I said.
"Ah…! I-it can't be… so you're… Ah! I-Impossible!"
The sect master fell over the ground in disbelief.
"You're the girl he was talking to me about… and… you're the ice dragon he also spoke to me about… he had come here a couple of times telling me about you two… We had made a treaty before and he… once took away all the Unique Skill users from my sect too… If I had not obeyed, he would have most likely destroyed everything." Said the sect master.
"Wait a minute, he also did that here? And… you saw him in person?" asked Benladann.
"Indeed… He was… not a normal man. Greenwood is a powerful Immortal Magus of Rank 9. An Elf of incredible power who lives in the continent of Alfheim… He travels the world looking for Unique Skill users for whatever reason… Probably because he had found a way to extract their powers." Said the sect master.
"R-Rank 9?! You're kidding me, right?"
That's literally the pinnacle of an immortal that hasn't reached Rank 10, which is Venerable.
Rank 9 Immortals are pretty much right below Venerables, they're the strongest a person can grow…
And this motherfucker is one of them?! Ugh…
"No… But he seems to have the power to control robots through the forbidden arts of Technomancy… He uses them to deal with mortal and even immortal affairs, and barely shows himself. Even the Greenwood that came here in person might have been something like a robot in his shape or form… He is incredibly secretive…!" said the sect master.
"So it all ties up, huh? This bastard has been burning villages and looking for Unique Skill users this entire time, your village was a victim of it, then mine, and then your sect's talented unique skill users were taken away from you by him…" said Benladann.
"I-Indeed… I can't… believe it. To think we share a similar past." Sighed the sect master.
"So you grew obsessed with growing stronger because your entire village was burned down, and you were left alone? I can understand the drive now… I suppose you ended isolating yourself from emotions after all the shit you went through." I sighed.
"…Yeah. But I've come to regret not having a family before… Perhaps I should take lady Benladann's advice and… find someone to love and make a family…" sighed the sect master.
"Indeed… And welp, now that we know you know about Greenwood, we'll make you spill all the beans. Tell us everything you know about him!" I said.
"E-Everything!?" he asked.
"Yep, all of it, all of it!" I said.
"Ugh… But that's… quite a lot of things, are you sure?" he asked.
"Tell us everything, we are ready." Said Benladann.
"…Very well, I shall go into more details then." Sighed the Sect Master, sitting in the bed.
"Greenwood is-"
CLASH!
Suddenly, the window broke apart as a bullet flew at an incredible speed towards the Sect Master's head!
What?!
I moved faster than the bullet and manipulated the winds around me. The bullet flew away and ended hitting the wall instead.
CLASH!
"What was that?!" asked Benladann.
"Cover yourself in mold!" I said.
Benladann nodded as mold covered her body, and then, I threw the Sect Master into my dreamscape.
I expanded my senses through several kilometers, and… there it was.
A small drone flying very far away, almost outside of the walls, had tried to one-shot the sect master!
