Sword God in a World of Magic

The soldiers stepped away from their leader, who only gritted his teeth.

"What is the meaning of this?!" he shouted. "I don't consent to this."

Then, everyone heard the sound of scraping bodies on the ground, and without anyone noticing, the younger Inquisitor arrived behind the leader, who quickly turned around to face him in fear.

"Your consent isn't relevant," the young Inquisitor said as his hand threateningly stretched towards the bald man's head.

At that moment, Mana gathered around the man's head.

He was trying to kill himself with his Affinity!

But, of course, he didn't even have the power to kill himself in front of an Inquisitor.

The Inquisitor's hand reached the man's head in an instant, and he became unconscious.

The soldiers looked with shock and fear at the Inquisitor.

And then, two other soldiers tried to kill themselves.

But, just like the bald man, these two also became unconscious as soon as they showed an inkling of resistance.

None of them could escape.

Inquisitors were very good at their job.

After that, everyone became silent out of fear. One comrade after the other had become unconscious, and the soldiers feared that they would also fall victim to the Inquisitors if they showed any sign of resistance.

To these soldiers, these Inquisitors were some of the most terrifying existences they had ever seen.

People just became unconscious in their mere presence!

Over the next five minutes, the younger Inquisitor's hand remained on the bald man's head, both their eyes closed.

The older Inquisitor kept watch while his younger colleague was doing his job.

Eventually, the younger Inquisitor opened his eyes and stood up.

"There is a barrier in his mind," he said.

"Follow protocol," the older Inquisitor said.

The younger one nodded and summoned several more chains, which he then put on every other unconscious person, including the superior and the officer.

In the end, eight people were attached to the chain.

"Anyone else?" the older Inquisitor asked, glancing at Shang.

"No," Shang said.

The older Inquisitor nodded. "The Grand Inquisitor has been informed. The Inquisition officially assumes command over the northeastern region. All soldiers are to be stationed inside their outposts and towns. Any soldiers leaving the confines of their outposts or towns will be killed or apprehended."
