Clearly, these people were also slaves. These cultists clearly understood the bottom line of angering the Kazimierz authorities and dared not lay hands on legal citizens and tourists.
But the bottom line of the Kazimierz authorities was not the same as Goki's.
And for this, Goki's strategy was simple.
On the walls around the room, the bodies of black-robed fanatics were pinned to the wall by various different weapons—Saw Cleaver, Saw Spear, Church Silver Sword. Some were cut into several pieces by Skadi, some riddled with bullets, or burned to ash by Originium Arts.
If even one of them could have offered a slight resistance to Goki, they wouldn't have become followers of such an evil Star God.
For these scumbags who treated other people's lives like grass, Goki only saw them as chives for acquiring blood echoes on the spot.
To be honest—the yield was quite high. Although it smelled a bit foul, even a Spell Cultivator with a bit of Originium Arts knowledge could yield over a thousand blood echoes after being killed.
After clearing out everyone in one sacrificial ground, the blood echoes Goki gained could at least add three or four points.
Not to mention the "Divine Blood" purely composed of black blood, which made Gravel almost vomit upon seeing it.
These bloods contained the Divine Power of the Star God. Prolonged consumption would affect the body, making it more suitable as a sacrifice.
However, for Goki, these so-called Divine Bloods were merely blood echoes with some power.
"Perhaps it's time for some new weapons—hey."
From the body crushed under the door, Goki found a phone that was still on a call and casually picked it up.
The person these scum were contacting certainly wasn't anyone good.
"Hello? How are you? Sorry, sorry, this old man might not be able to answer the phone right now—to be precise, he's been flattened into the second dimension, completely planar."
Picking up the phone, Goki said to the person on the other end in a friendly tone.
..."Where are the people from Sacrificial Ground Three?"
After a long pause, the person on the other end of the phone slowly replied.
"You really have the nerve to call this slaughterhouse a sacrificial ground—don't worry, I always work cleanly, no survivors."
Goki's tone was still full of joy, but Skadi beside him had become very quiet at this moment.
She knew that Goki was especially angry now.
..."Who are you? Do you know what kind of consequences this will bring? We won't let go of anyone who opposes us. You don't even know who you've angered."
The voice on the other end of the phone became somewhat angry, but still maintained a basic calm.
And Goki smiled even more happily.
"I also believe you don't know who you've truly angered. You can thoroughly investigate my identity; I'll be staying here for a long time—as for the consequences, of course I know. If there's a Sacrificial Ground Three, it means there's a One and Two, and perhaps even Four, Five, and Six. It's practically fat meat delivered to my mouth. Don't worry, your information here is quite complete; I'll visit them one by one."
Looking at the mobile terminal in his hand and the large amount of paper documents he had collected, as a Yharnam scholar, Goki was particularly adept at gathering these minute details of information found on notes and in notebooks.
These jumbled records contained information on different slaves, arrival dates, quantities sent to various destinations, and even the general locations of several other sacrificial grounds.
Goki was ready to complete a new hunt in the Knight Tournament.

Before, he wasn't entirely sure, but after encountering this runaway slave Nona and conducting investigations here, Goki was certain that Allens Choice, the Unification Sect, and the Star God were absolutely in cahoots!
His action of simply treating the other party as prey completely enraged them.
"Arrogant! Young man, you've angered me. I can investigate your existence at any time, but you know nothing about me and can do nothing!"
"Know nothing? How is that possible? Let me see... Bishop Collins, Allens Choice Director, Spokesperson for the Star God, the only Chosen One... Do you know, your subordinates truly respect you, so much so that they write down every detail about you—I really like him. I'll go and investigate you thoroughly, Collins. I hope that's your real name."
Looking at the long string of notes for the call recipient on his mobile terminal, Goki knew that for these fanatics, not understanding network information protection was a very normal thing.
"Beep—beep—beep—"
Before Goki could finish speaking, the other end had already hung up.
"How spineless—how is it, Nona Cenomi?"
Goki shrugged, flipping through the collected paper records as he turned to look at the pink-haired Zalak girl who had entered the room.
Although it was an easy victory, no one was particularly happy.
"I remember when I escaped, there were two people still alive in the next room, but they're already lying there now—objectively speaking, I'm indeed very happy to be rescued, and I thank you for your chivalry."
Holding a dagger snatched from an enemy, Cenomi, with her barcode-marked shoulder exposed, had a complex expression.
The joy of surviving a disaster filled her heart, but she really couldn't bring herself to be happy.
She had indeed joined the fight just now, but at most, it was just an assist. The two "ordinary travelers" she had previously thought they were, erupted with unimaginable combat power. The two of them swept through this Hell that had once imprisoned her like a storm, yet in the end, not a single drop of blood stained their bodies.
Moreover... whether it was an illusion or not, even though Cenomi witnessed Goki's efficient killing process, when he smiled and looked at her, she still didn't feel a trace of fear.
"Looking at how skilled you two are... you're not specifically here to deal with these scoundrels, are you! If so, you should have said so earlier! I wouldn't have lost my first kiss—what a loss!"
Despite her gratitude, Cenomi couldn't help but complain, and after seeing Skadi's wary gaze, she helplessly took a step back.
"Wow, and you too. It's wrong for me to kiss your boyfriend, but don't look at me with that gaze—it was an emergency at the time! I'm not interested in your boyfriend! Don't think I'm a bad woman!"
Facing her two saviors, Cenomi blushed, and finally let out a helpless sigh.
To be precise, although she had no practical combat experience, she was now more skilled at seducing and enchanting men than fighting, which was the most she had learned in her childhood.
What she didn't expect was that upon hearing these words, Skadi suddenly showed a somewhat smug smile, stood opposite her, and patted her chest.
