The white-robed Transcendent Nilo hurried off to a distance after I lifted the poison in his throat. With it removed, he let out a huge sigh of relief before standing up straight, vowing to relay the contents of the scroll to the members of the religious order that was following the Dark Wizards.
Well, as long as they leave the vicinity, the goal for presenting that was already achieved. We could take care of them but it would draw too much attention. Those Dark Wizards might escape if they witnessed these native Transcendents they cultivated die easily.
This way, that Nilo would be rallying his colleagues and they might even help us after confirming the content of that scroll when they saw the corpses.
Of course, there's a possibility that some of them were aware of the poison in their throats. No matter what, these Dark Wizards allowed them to reach Transcendence even if they hadn't finished their Mortal Pathway yet.
