Chương 70: Volume 3: Chapter 5 - Unexpected Change

(Robert's Perspective) Time passed quickly and the train entered the grasslands. Just as I was chatting with Fia, the situation inside the train changed abruptly. Suddenly...

"Everyone, hands up and on your knees! This train has been seized by the Love God Cult." A man covered in a black robe held a magic sword toward everyone in the cabin and spoke in a grim voice. The moment his words fell, everyone in the carriage looked toward him. When they heard the name Love God Cult, many people subconsciously frowned. The Love God Cult. It was an Evil God Cult that believed in an Evil God called the Love God.

Evil Gods were Existences on par with the True Gods of this world however they didn't exist in this world. Instead, they all existed outside the world, restricted by the Barrier of the world, unable to enter this world. It is said that in order to descend in the real world, these Evil Gods bestowed their powers to humans and turned them into their believers, who later built cults. In the past, during the Chaotic Era, cults that worshipped Evil Gods had caused countless disasters across the continent.

But ever since the Age of Chaos ended and the Era of Peace began, most Evil God Cults had either been destroyed, sealed away, or forced into hiding. Because of this, most people had almost forgotten how dangerous they once were. Even now, after hearing the name Love God Cult, some passengers did not look afraid at first. Instead, they looked disdainful.

"Love God Cult? A group of sewer rats who dare to act openly in the Antasia Empire? Have you lost your minds?" A senior adventurer sitting near the front sneered and stood up. Another adventurer also stood up, gripping the sword at his waist, "This is a public magic train. Do you know what will happen once the Empire's knights learn about this?" The black-robed man did not answer. Instead he raised his hand slightly. A red magic circle instantly appeared above the aisle.

The air in the carriage became heavy then a crimson beam flashed across the carriage. The two adventurers who had just stood up did not even have time to scream. Their bodies were swallowed by the red light, and in the next instant, they collapsed to the floor, completely motionless. The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. The entire cabin fell silent and the disdain on everyone's faces disappeared instantly, replaced by fear.

Even the other adventurers sitting a few rows away turned pale and slowly lowered their hands from their weapons. Anyone sitting in the first class cabin was a knowledgeable person. They all recognised that the magic used by the man wasn't something they could resist.

"As expected, I shouldn't have raised the flag. Now it seems I have really encountered the protagonist treatment."

"But isn't it a bit too much to send a High level Mage for me, a small Second Order." I looked at the two charred corpses then at the memeber of the Love God Cult. As someone who had read extensive Magic Books, I could recognise that the spell just cast by that man was at least Fifth Order and it could possibly even reach Sixth Order. You have to know that after one reached Fifth Order, they have strength to destroy an ordinary town. Moreover, the town in this world was far larger than a town in my past life.

The size alone could compare to a large metropolitan city. In fact, no one knew how vast this world exactly was. Even in some history books, this planet alone was described as boundless. And in terms of destructive power, Sixth Order Mages are far stronger than Fifth Order because this Realm brings a qualitative change in a Mage. After understanding the Nature of their Attributes, Sixth Order Mages can easily destroy a large city. Even the Royal Academy has to take such people seriously.

At this time, another black-robed cultist entered from the other end of the carriage. Behind him were more members of the Love God Cult, each holding either a magic staff or a blade covered in strange red patterns. The black-robed man who had just killed the two adventurers slowly swept his gaze across the passengers.

"Very good. It seems everyone has finally learned how to listen." His voice was calm, but after seeing the fate of those two adventurers, no one dared to treat his calmness as weakness. A middle-aged merchant kneeling not far away forced himself to speak.

"What do you want? Money? Magic crystals? Hostages?" The black-robed man glanced at him, "Did I allow you to speak?" The next moment, a red thread shot out from the cultist's finger and pierced through the nobleman's shoulder.

"Ah!" The merchant screamed and fell to the floor, clutching his shoulder as blood flowed between his fingers. His wife beside him trembled and hurriedly covered his mouth, afraid that her scream would attract another attack. The black-robed man ignored them and looked around again.

"We are not here for your money. We are here to welcome the Blessed One back to the embrace of the Love God." Blessed One? The moment I heard those words, my eyelids twitched. I subconsciously looked at Fia but it turned out that this girl wasn't nervous at all. She has even taken out a bag of sunflower seeds too eat as if she was watching a show. Could this have nothing to do with this girl? Forget it, it's better to think about how to get out of this situation than to focus on Fia.

Facing these cultists, I have no power to resist and can only escape. As for saving others, I may have thought about that at the start of transmigration but not anymore. Self preservation was more important. Just as I was thinking along this way, the black-robed man suddenly raised his hand. A red crystal appeared in his palm and began to glow brighter.

"Found you... Princess Elize!" The black robed man turned towards us and his eyes were directly staring at Fia.

"Elize?" I subconsciously looked at Fia once again. Shouldn't she be called Fia?

"Tsk, you guys are really annoying. Not only Mother and Uncle but now even Cultists have started chasing me."

"Exactly how did you manage to find me? I arrived in this city only today." Fia, or Elize looked surprised for a moment but then she snorted and looked at the group of cultists with disdain.

"Haha, Princess Elise's name is as famous as thunder. It is thanks to guidance of Supreme Love God that we found you." The cultist laughed and said grimly.

"If you don't want any of your limbs to go missing. Please come with me and be the Saint of Love God."...
