The next day, Vicente had already talked to his group about his actions over the last few days and had also received the updates he needed.",
Rory had dealt with the mission he had received with Sarah, through which Vice had chosen some 3rd and 4th grade resources to leave in the city to help the local forces.
They had many resources of this quality capable of helping magicians of any path. Given the importance of stopping monsters in this area of the continent, Vicente gave up some items that could go to his men in the Seidel Kingdom.
The group would spend the rest of the day dealing with matters necessary to make the city minimally functional without the presence of most of the local leaders, now scattered around Dresbert's security area.
They had to hire farmers to reclaim the area that had been used by demons, but also establish the surveillance shifts that would come into effect from tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Vicente took advantage of the day in this city to build the local train station, starting his project to take locals by train to the secret Cataclysm Order outpost nearby.
The next morning, he, Torne and Lauren would set off together to find the new outpost to take over!
...
In the middle of the next day, Vicente and Lauren arrived at the location indicated by the Cataclysm Order maps, with Torne helping them find the right place to stop.
First, Vicente wanted to explore the new altar he had conquered, and only then would he build the railroad to Dresbert.
After a few minutes of investigating the area they had reached, he found his way to the order's hidden location, with following Lauren to the entrance of the outpost.
As soon as he used the Cataclysm Moon Pendant, Vicente saw the entrance to a cave open up, revealing a 50-meter tunnel into the mountain ahead.
"This post must be important for the order, master," Torne said as Vicente and Lauren walked down the dark path. "The order had been antagonized by Light Path forces long before the Congregation of Revelations.
The organization's headquarters were never in the northern region, despite the region's strength. My group's headquarters were in this central area. So a secret outpost of the ancient Kingdom of Eternal Dawn must be bigger than the others."
Vicente listened to the ghost's words as he opened the last door on his way to the inner area of the secret outpost built there.
The moment he entered it, Torne warned. "There are people here!"
Vicente noticed this after Torne, seeing several internal devices in operation, as well as marks of use, food and unexpected sounds for an empty place.
Vicente raised his guard, scanning the post in front of him, which was, in fact, more like Torne had warned.
Instead of the usual four levels that all Cataclysm Order outposts had, this place had six levels, all of them higher than the levels of the usual outposts in the south of the continent.
Vicente didn't focus too much on the size of the place, but on the beings occupying this space, Dark Path magicians, 12 of them, to be precise, 1 Mid-level Paragon, 2 Low-level Paragons and 9 Sky Soveregns.
While he sensed the magicians who seemed to live in this underground building, those dark men and women also noticed Vicente.
Before he and Lauren had even passed through the main hall, at the entrance to the secret altar, the three Paragons appeared in the path of the two siblings.
Torne was outside his master's body, so the enemies also noticed his presence.
"Who are you people? How did you invade our post?" the Mid- level Paragon asked while the other two stood guard.
No matter how strong they were, they wouldn't underestimate these three Paragons who had broken into their secret outpost!
The two youths were certainly talented. In the Polaris Realm, one should never underestimate a talented youth of the same level as oneself!
"We broke in? We clearly entered through the front door using the key. How is that breaking in?" Vicente said as he showed the Cataclysm Moon Pendant to those people.
"This..."
"This is the Cataclysm Moon Pendant!"
"Young man, return my group's sacred item!" said the Mid-level Paragon as his pentagrams emerged from his body.
The man's two companions did the same, preparing to start a fight in the entrance hall. That item would be worth any risk they might have in dealing with those three!
Meanwhile, the Sovereigns of the group arrived in the area, seeing their leaders preparing for combat.
Torne was intrigued by what these people were saying, but before he could say anything, Vicente stepped forward and smiled provocatively.
The Throne of Darkness emerged from his body along with the two pentagrams of this magical form, forcing the 12 Dark Path magicians in his path to lose control of their elements.
When they failed to activate their magical forms and saw that strange essence, made up of a green and a cyan pentagram, the people changed their expressions terribly.
Being powerless in front of the master of darkness, their lives could be taken in a single breath!
"You" Vicente was about to speak, when suddenly Torne moved, appearing in front of his master.
"Master, those seem to be members of the Cataclysm Order," the ghost said as he looked Mid-level Paragon in the eye.
"Is that the case, human? Answer if you want to live!" Torne demanded as Vicente stopped walking towards the men.
Lauren stood watching the situation, curious if these people, 4 women and 8 men, really were part of that ancient dark religion.
The Mid-level Paragon confirmed it. "Yes, we are former members of the Cataclysm Order."
"Oh?" Vicente arched his eyebrows, not expecting to come face to face with members of the order.
"What are you waiting for? Kneel before the Altar Master!" Torne shouted to the magicians, making them all kneel in front of Vicente.
"Altar Master, welcome back!"
They said simultaneously, unwilling to go against someone as powerful as Vicente.
Having the Cataclysm Moon Pendant meant being the leader of the order. But if one wasn't strong enough to hold it, things wouldn't be so simple.
Seeing now how strong Vicente was, everyone accepted the position of the young black-haired magician!
