( Yuuki's POV )
The betas that had come out of the portal were a small battalion containing tank and soldier class betas, and the Tank-class were mutated.
The BETA's arms were longer and thicker, and parts of its body were covered in bone armor, these creatures were already disturbing, but now their erratic breathing added another layer of terror to them.
The captured girls couldn't stand the sight of the BETAs and they began to tremble and scream in terror, which caught the attention of the BETAs.
The five tank-class creatures went towards the girls like hungry animals. The girls instinctively knew that these creatures wanted to devour them, so they closed their eyes and covered their heads, as if they wanted to wake up from a nightmare.
I was ready to act, but before that was needed, the puppeteer's assistant pulled some kind of control out of his coat and when he pressed a button, the BETAs stopped dead in their tracks.
Assistant: Magnificent creatures, don't you think? They are as powerful as they are terrifying.
The dark mage stretched his hand toward the controller, both excited and disturbed by the BETAs, But he was sure it was better to control that than to be against those things, but the assistant took the control away before he could take it.
Asistente: nu-huh first, let's see if what you brought is worth what we offer.
The assistant then pulled a pair of glasses out of his lab coat, clearly not ordinary glasses because when he looked at the girls he smiled with satisfaction.
Assistant: Okay, you brought us some good stuff, you gained some credibility. Here, with this you can send your next batch directly to us.
The presence of my Sekireis caused the assistant to seriously overestimate the dark mage's abilities, and the assistant reached out to him.
In his hand was the controller I use in the BETAs, and the other thing I suppose was a device to access the enemy base.
When the transaction was about to be finalized, I moved at high speed and snatched both devices from the assistant, I slowed down, dragging my heels along the ground, and ended up putting a good distance between us.
Yuuki: I'll be taking that, thanks.
The assistant was surprised by my sudden move, but with just one look he seemed to realize who he was dealing with.
He reached into his coat and used a second remote control to send the BETAs on the attack, at that moment the girls jumped out of the circle of captured girls and began eliminating the BETAs and dark mages in the camp.
I watched the assistant as he escaped back to the portal; he wasn't a priority now, so I just left him alone.
My instincts alarmed me and I tilted my head slightly; seconds later a wooden log passed by my head, I turned around and saw the dark mage leader using magic to create the logs he was attacking me with.
Yuuki: oh What kind of magic are you using? That looks interesting.
Lisanna: That's creation magic; it can create a material and mold it based on objects, figures, or even animals, In Fairy Tail there are two mages who use Ice Make and Wood Make, this guy is also using Wood Make.
When I questioned the magic the leader was using, he refused to answer, but Lisanna jumped into the conversation to enlighten me, this specific magic will be very useful for Kusano; her and my powers controlled plants but couldn't create them, so I was going to take this magic for us.
Dark Mage: Who the hell are you?
Yuuki: Oh, just a new guild trying to make a name for themselves. Not that this information will help you much, but thanks for asking.
I started walking slowly towards the enemy leader; he continued launching attacks at me, but I had no problem dodging them, Even when the attacks came from angles I shouldn't have been able to see, I dodged without stopping, the enemy boss was filled with despair and began to look around. The BETAs were being destroyed, then he looked at the portal where the assistant had escaped. No reinforcements were coming from there.
His desperation at the last moment turned into acceptance and he just let out a sigh of surrender, I grabbed his head and used a Ki burst to knock him out, this did not harm him; it was like a short circuit of his internal energy.
That's more than this guy deserved, but I needed the information inside his head. I kept holding his head and started digging into the mage's memories, I sought out his associates and anyone who knew about his dealings with the puppeteer, among other things, I learned how to use his creation magic and immediately gave it a try.
I slammed my fist against my open palm and a magic circle appeared there, then I put my hands on the ground and wooden beams came out from below, surrounding one of the tank-class BETAs and leaving it completely immobile.
That was the end of this camp, but our work was far from over.
Yuuki: Lisanna, Felli, Leo, Matabei and Jubei, you come with me, the rest of you protect the girls.
I head towards where the assistant portal appeared and the girls I named stood behind me, I covered my hand with energy and moved my hand forward as if it were a key; the portal that was there before reopened and we entered without hesitation.
What awaited us on the other side of the portal was a huge room, a kind of warehouse where a bunch of mutated BETAs and homunculi were gathered together, this is where they were all prepared to be transported to the puppeteer's associates.
Those things weren't in chains or cages, so when we appeared they followed their instincts and attacked us all at once, I transformed into my full dragon form and Leo took her beast form, which was a giant lioness, we mercilessly destroyed the BETAs, and the others took care of the smaller homunculi.
Yuuki: [ Felli, map this entire base. ]
We had no problem handling the enemy, but the commotion we created set off alarm, I was more worried about the enemy escaping than them mounting an organized attack against us, so I told Felli to do her thing.
