Novel Full Chapter 961: Capturing A Cultist
—–
The Majin woman panicked and reacted extremely quickly, someone else that wasn’t guilty would have not exploded to this extent, she was certainly the guilty one!
BOOOM!
The explosion of chaotic energy coming from her spear reached us, my shield managed to reflect most of the damage, but the explosion alone made the entire foundation of the building shake. The ceiling collapsed right above us!
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
RUMBLE!
The Divine Dragons were rather tough, but the Ancient Elves, despite their strong magic, were much more physically frail, getting crushed by rubble wouldn’t be good for them either, or it would also distract us as she ran away.
But we weren’t going to let that happen!
“Heh, did you thought we would let you destroy the entire walls? Nuh-huh!”
Only one piece of stone fell at the end, which I caught using my roots. The rest of the building had completely merged into a Domain by Lily’s powers, and was now held tightly on point, the cracks healing rapidly.
The Majin woman panicked as she quickly started running away, breaking the wooden door and rushing outside. However, while riding Belle, I rushed towards her at lightning speed, almost catching her before she suddenly kicked the ground and accelerated.
“You’re not going anywhere, come here!”
I leaped off Belle, as Belle released thunderbolts against her, which the Majin Woman evaded one another another. Using my dragon wings and my ability to skip through space thanks to the Skill I inherited from Mimy, I managed to appear right above her, spreading my roots over her entire body as I gave her a near-lethal hug!
“AARRGH! LET GO OF ME!”
She spun angrily around the floor, releasing shockwaves of deadly miasma that started to slowly infect my body. However, I enchanted it with hundreds of tiny holy light spirits, becoming incredibly resilient. Even more, each golden scale was enchanted with my super amazing Gaia’s Armor as well.
“I am not letting you go!”
I quickly wrapped my roots around her entire body and then took away her spear, which quickly dropped on the floor and started moving on its own?! It lifted off the floor and pointed itself at my head, piercing it.
CRASH!
“Hahahah! I got you- EH?!”
However, having my head exploded wasn’t going to kill me, I was a being made of wood and plants after all, and as some had mentioned… I had no brain nor any important internal organ either! She kept firing attacks, but I used my Skills to drain her out of her Mana very quickly.
After that, I had to simply separate myself from the wood encroaching her and then conjuring my powerful {Life and Light Chains of Restraint} combined with the {Exorcizing Heavenly Purifying Light} Spells to create the…
“{Heavenly Demon-Sealing Chains of Purification}!”
It was an improved Spell created to purify and seal demons, something I had already used against the Demons I fought against back on Earth. And this girl’s demonic and miasmic powers were not only purified, but instantly sealed.
“NOOO! AAGGH! M-My power! The power they gave me…! NO!” She kept screaming with rage. “Let me go!
I will…! If it has come to this, I won’t let you have me! I’ll kill myself! I… Eh? Why is it not activating?!”
As I grabbed her demonic cursed spear, sealed it, and then somehow was able to store it inside my Inventory, she realized I had done something to her. The Miasmic Demonic Core in her chest, which allows these people to both transform and conjure their powerful magic was now also sealed.
“It is sealed, you can’t use your core’s powers, sweetie. Now stay there, backup is coming.”
I saw as my friends appeared by my side, accompanied by the researchers and the General. They were left speechless after seeing I did manage to capture someone alive!
“You did it, Planta! Well done!” Elbedo celebrated.
“Now you’re going to spit everything you know, girl!” Cecilia said.
“Enough, we’ll have to talk to her more privately if possible.” Said Mercedes. “There is a relic I brought that’ll make her talk.”
“N-no, no, no, no! Wait, don’t do this! I can’t speak!” The Majin woman kept screaming, but we ignored her pleas.
“Finally caught her, well done!” Rita clapped her hands.
“It took you almost no time, you’re amazing as always.” Mark laughed.
“To be expected of my liege! With this we can advance the scenario further now!” Nieve celebrated.
“Yeah, amazing mom!” Elena said. “I have to admit that your special body makes it really convenient to capture others.”
“Bravo for Elayne! She’s the bestie best~!” Lily said, hugging me from behind and giving me a kiss on my cheek.
“Naaah~ I did it because I simply could, it was not THAT special though.” I shrugged, feeling slightly embarrassed of receiving so much praise. “Anyways, as long as we can extract info from her then we can learn some more!”

We brought her back to a special investigation and interrogation chamber in the fortress, where we got the help of many guards guarding the area. In there, with Mercedes, Mark, Rita, Cecilia, Hermes, and Elbedo, we interrogated the woman using a special relic.
This was a relic placed around her neck that made it impossible for her to lie. And also forced her to answer any questions given to her with sincerity and everything she knew about. She answered our first questions with ease.
“What is your goal?!” Mercedes asked angrily.
“Our goal?! Ugh…! Isn’t it obvious?” The Majin woman laughed. “Our goal is to reach salvation, and to free ourselves from the control of the Gods! The Demon King… is nothing but the representation of all the mistakes and errors the gods have committed! We are allying him… because we want a change!”
