Rushing into the entrance hall of the shrine the group were quickly besieged by more cultists. However, their efforts would do little to slow down the group. Whether it was Nyancelot, Sebastian or the volunteers who had tagged along, their determination was worthy of praise as they struck down any obstacle the cultists threw at them. It didn't take long till they finally reached the large hall. Further up ahead was the gigantic oaken door that led into the inner sanctum. However, the cultists clearly wouldn't allow them to enter that place. Several rows of cultists stood in front of the door, with in front of them being a much taller and muscular cultist clad in a different colored robe.
"I believe the one at the front must be one of the cultists who underwent their experiments ser Nyancelot." The butler's words made the Exceed scoff in anger. "I don't care what they are, if they stand in front of us with the intention to oppose us, then the only way this is going to end is by skewering my sword through them!"
Nyancelot's angry response earned a smile from the butler. "I have to admit I'm mildly annoyed myself to think one had the gall to kidnap my master's favorite mortal. I believe it is time for some proper punishment."
The Exceed had already darted toward the cultists, followed by the mysterious butler while at the same time the volunteers were dashing behind them, ready to bring the fight to the cultists! The cultist their leader swung an arm toward the Exceed who nimbly dodged the blow by jumping sideways, but to the cultist his surprise Sebastian had easily intercepted the blow that was aimed at the Exceed, holding the man's arm in place with remarkable ease.
