178 Chapter 178
Upon entering, he came across a deplorable sight. Men were raping women as they slashed their skin with a knife with a rapt smile on their faces. The more these women screamed, the more the men seemed to like it.
Without a single word, Theo, who just opened the door, surprised them. He used his mental power and controlled their feeble minds and made them move away from the women who they had defiled.
"Tell me everything you know about this place!"
Theo ordered them and began to listen to everything they had to say. In the end, they were no different from the previous Demi-Human. They all knew the same things.
No longer wanting to see these disgusting beings, just as he did with the other Demi-Human, Theo struck each one on the chest and plucked their souls out as he devoured them alive.

Theo just nodded slightly, but couldn't be happy about it right now. He was in a terrible mood from these events. He didn't expect them to be so savage. He was sure that if he didn't soothe his anger, he would most likely go to the Kenedy Clan and make them all disappear forever.
Unfortunately, this Mauricio Kenedy, who was doing these experiments, was no longer here. It seems that he returned the moment he learned that the Sects had arrived at Ravena City.
Theo continued to do this in every room, and by the end, he had saved over 300 children and about 220 women. Most, if not all, of them, had been defiled by these animals. Theo put them all to sleep as he transferred them to his Dimensional Room.
In the end, he ended up using <Devour> on over 150 men and some women who guarded this place. Sweeping with his Divine Sense in all directions, he found no other living beings nearby other than Dennis.

"Huh, it's increased again."
Theo no longer wished to remain in this place, so he began to make his way out of the underground base.
But that was not before he picked up all the valuables he could find. In the end, he didn't want to waste anything and leave it for the Kenedy Clan to reclaim later.
"In the end, I didn't find out what I really wanted to know…" Theo told himself, "The best way, I guess, is to try to get this information from the System."
"What is the real purpose of this place where I am, and who is behind it all?"
[1,000 System Points were deducted]
[System: This place was created to raise talented kids to be sold at an underworld auction.
There were two Demi-Human Coyote brothers. They were born of a human woman and a Coyote Magic Beast in his human form. One was called Katita, and the other one was named Jordan. They grew up with their human mother in Age Village on Fallen Star Island. At first, they were very close, but over time Jordan showed great talent in cultivation and was guided by a master in the Spiritual Kingdom.
Though not as talented as his brother, Katita went to Ravena City and founded a Clan there. At first, he followed the rules and laws of the City and only lived with his family and helped his Clan grow. But a few years after he was in Ravena, he received a visit from his brother Jordan who he had not seen in years.
After the reunion with her brother, Katita received an offer from Jordan, who had already reached the Spiritual Kingdom. This offer was to cultivate talented children and some women "guards." In return, he would receive a lot of money for them. At first, he was unsure whether to accept it, but in the end, when his brother presented him with a soul technique and showed the benefits it would bring him, Katita eventually gave in and agreed to his brother's plans. And so it was that he and his brother began raising children and selling them at the underworld auction or through specific requests from people willing to pay the right amount of money.]
"This is very well detailed… and this Katita guy has such a powerful brother… no wonder he can bring so many children and women here and not be discovered."
Theo began to reflect on this information and thought about his best options. Although he knew that he could not deal with someone who is in the Spiritual Kingdom, he didn't believe that Jordan was that near Ravena City.

Theo sighed as he realized there was still a long way to go before he reached the Spiritual Kingdom.
"Anyway, I need to finish up now. Dennis is still waiting for me outside." Theo thought as he undid his disguise, now thankful that he used it since he didn't know if these people could possibly have soul seals to convey their last minutes before death.
Leaving the underground base, Theo went over to where Dennis was waiting for him.
"Theo!" Dennis, seeing Theo's arrival, left his hiding place and ran toward him.
Theo sighed heavily, but didn't let his expression falter; he still intended to make these women and children forget the horrible things that had happened to them here. He didn't want Dennis to see them right now, either.
Theo knew he still had things to do here, though. "Dennis, you need to get some sleep."
"What…"
Before Dennis even noticed, his mind was put to sleep, and he was transferred into the Dimensional Room.
Using his Divine Sense, Theo began walking toward where he felt the presence of other living beings toiling away in a mine.
Passing through the forest and coming across a vast Mana stone mine, Theo controlled everyone who was guarding this mine. He made them think that there were no changes, so they were oblivious to what was going on outside. It as if it were any other day when things were going as usual.
Glancing toward the horizon, Theo noticed that the sun was already rising. "It's taking longer than I expected, but well, this time, I don't need to investigate their minds anymore."
In this mine, only 58 Demi-Human men were guarding the site and having other men work the Mana stone mine. It had a total of 124 men working away.
Theo muttered, "<Lightning Shadow Steps>!"
His movements became agile, exceeding the speed of sound by at least two-fold. But despite his high speed, his steps were smooth and left no marks behind. His movements were very fast, concealed like a black cat enveloped by looming darkness. Theo began to attack and steal the souls from the guards' bodies one by one, and he put the men who were working asleep.
Theo was killing them so fast that they didn't even know when or how they died.
In less than 10 minutes, Theo had finished sweeping the mine. He had killed and devoured every one of the guards.

"Huh, in the end, their cultivations didn't even reach the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom, and few were in the Higher Student Kingdom."
Theo also took all the Mana stones he could find here. He decided to decide what to do with them later. "Maybe I'll let the girls cultivate with them."
