"You sure took your time." I said to the one that had stabbed them from behind.

"Well, I had to make sure that they fell for the trap before I could do anything. You should already know how weak this body is and I can't do anything about that."

It was Tempest who had taken over this puppet and was the one that stabbed them in the back like this.

But at the same time, Tempest was also the one that had gathered these people in the first place.

That was why they all had looks of disbelief on their faces when they saw this happen.

That moment of hesitation was all that was needed for the skeletons to do what they needed to do. Before they could come back to their senses, they were pulled into the ground.

Or in most cases, half of them were pulled into the ground and they were disarmed.

There really wasn't anything that they could do when they were trapped like this.

All that happened was that they asked, "Why would you betray us like this?"

But Tempest just ignored them as he came over to where I was and asked, "Is this enough for now?"

I shook my head before saying, "I don't think so, but this is good for a first haul. What we need to do now is to use them to attract more of these young ones in and then turn them all into puppets."

Tempest didn't say anything in response as he watched the skeletons come out of the ground and bring the ones that we had caught over to where Faust was.

Once they were brought over, he did the same thing as before where he shattered their souls and started turning them into puppets.

It seemed like it didn't matter how many puppets were created, it would never be enough.

That was because we were planning on creating a large army of these puppets in the end.

After all, this was all part of the plan.

The young Perfumers that had been sent in weren't actually that annoying to deal with. The ones that were actually annoying to deal with were the Advanced Perfumers that were outside.

But if we were to bring that item out with Billy, there was no doubt that they would try to stop him.

It wasn't as if we couldn't deal with these Advanced Perfumers if we wanted, it was just that it was too much trouble and it would reveal too many things to do so.

That was why instead, we were planning on creating a trap for them.

The Advanced Perfumers were high ranking members of the Perfumers, so it would be a large blow to take down any of them. If a large group of them went missing all of a sudden, that would cause a large mess with the Perfumers.

While we were still building ourselves up, it wasn't as if we could allow such a thing to happen.

Breaking the balance of this wilderness was the last thing that could be done.

So we were planning on sneaking this thing out with the help of these young Perfumers.

If there was an ancient being that was in these ruins that took care of these young Perfumers, then there wasn't anything that they could say about this.

"It's done. When is the next group coming?"

When Faust said this, we couldn't help being surprised.

After all, he was much faster than before when it came to creating these puppets.

In the past, it had taken him a few minutes for each puppet.

But this time, it was as if it only took a few minutes to finish all of the puppets.

"You're getting faster, aren't you?" I couldn't help asking him when I saw those puppets stand up.

I didn't question the puppets themselves since I could tell that they were properly made.

However, it really was surprising the speed that Faust made them with.

With a shrug, Faust just simply said, "It's easier to do it with more practice. I've figured out an easier way to set up the spell and I'm getting more skilled with casting it, so it doesn't take as much mana anymore."

The way that he said this was as if it really was a piece of cake to him.

But if it wasn't for the fact that he had gotten a Unique Class, then it really wouldn't have been that easy for him.

Still, I turned to Tempest and said, "You might as well get out there and gather more of them."

He gave a nod before heading out to take care of this.

But at the same time, he suddenly stopped and headed off in a different direction.

With how he turned all of a sudden, it was as if he was avoiding something and he was.

There was another group that was coming, which was why he was moving away from this place.

This was another group that was being led here by another one of the puppets that we had created and sent out. Since they were coming this way, he didn't want to be seen by them, which was why he went in a different direction.

Both Faust and I could tell that they were coming as well, so I looked at him with one brow raised.

Faust didn't say anything as he raised his hand and made the skeletons go back into the ground.

Once they were in the ground like this, I took my place and waited for the group to come.

That was just my fate as the bait for this plan.

But as more and more young Perfumers were led here, it was only a matter of time before we had created enough puppets.

Once that time came, it would be time to send those puppets out to deal with the Advanced Perfumers that were waiting outside.

Once that time came, it would be time to claim that item and leave this place.
