Chapter 478 – Shelia's Side And Angela's Side

In the corner of my sight, I can see Shelia is still fighting the artificial master level mage that she kicked away. He's a green mohawk.

Right now, I'm in the air looking at how everyone is doing. And I see Shelia's first. She seems to be having some problem with the green mohawk as the fight is not over yet.

"Do not interrupt me! I will be fighting him alone!"

Seems like Shelia notices me from the smell. So, she said that she doesn't need any help. The green mohawk seems to notice me as well since when I'm looking at him, he looked back. That might be the reason Shelia shouted.

The others are still doing well, but I'll watch how Shelia is doing.

I landed in a place near the two, and stood still. Showing them the gesture that I will only watch and not do anything. Shelia understands me right away.

"It's two against one? I'm a bit at disadvantage then," the green mohawk said.

"No, it's still a one on one. He won't participate," Shelia said.

"Really? But you should have realized that you can't do anything to me no matter how strong you are. It's my first time seeing a monster that can talk, but I guess I will have to kill you. I wish that I could give you to the Professor to be experimented, but I guess that won't be possible," green mohawk said.

Why do the mohawks talk so much? Is it because of the experiment?

"Then, I will use my full strength against you."

Shelia is already in her strongest form. The real werewolf transformation. Not the one that makes her look like a human female. It's the form of a standing wolf. But in this form, she is much stronger, and faster than her usual form. And not just that. Her regeneration rate is much faster in this form as well.

So, how will she use her full strength?

She told me to not get involved in the fight. But if she's in danger, I will help her.

"Awoooo!"

Shelia howled while in that form. And from the place we were before, I heard several werewolves howling as well. they must be the werewolves who are still fighting. Seems like howling increases their morale.

Oh? Shelia became even faster and stronger. But the green mohawk used wind magic barrier to block all her attacks.

"Like I said, I will no longer let down my guard and you can't do anything to me. Give up," the green mohawk said.

"ROAAAAR!"

Now she's roaring? And her attack became even faster. I can see that the wind barrier is about to be destroyed.

"Oh, that's dangerous. I'll take your arms."

Calmly, the green mohawk casted Wind Slash at Shelia's arms when she's trying to punch him.

And he did it. Both Shelia's arms got cut off. And that's also when he let down his guard.

Shelia then used her fangs to attack. She bites the green mohawk on the neck, and easily severed the head from the neck. The green mohawk, with a shocked expression in his face, died instantly.

"…seems like your fang is much stronger than your claws," I said to Shelia.

"Yes. I need to combine biting and slashing in my attacks. I guess I need to train more," Shelia said.

"Okay. For now, you are not allowed to join the battle until your arms grow back. It's an order. Take a rest," I ordered Shelia and left.

I know that she can grow her limbs back with her regeneration ability. As long as the head is not separated, she will still be fine. That's why I was still calm when I saw her arms got cut off.

There are still more mohawks near the building where we captured the Professor is. I wonder why they have to be mohawk?

Maybe I will get the answer after the mission is over. Old man Henry is busy researching the mohawks I previously captured after all. Maybe I'll bring the corpses of the mohawks here to there. It might be helpful for them to research.

This time, I found Angela fought a mohawk. The mohawk this time is a thin girl.

"Why are you attacking us?" the thin mohawk girl asked Angela.

"All I know is that you're involved with bad guys. If you want to know more, you should ask someone else. Though I won't let you do that. I will kill you here," Angela said.

"We're not involved with bad guys. All the researches and experiments we do are all for the sake of the world," the thin mohawk girl said.

"For the sake of the world's destruction. You forgot one extra word," Angela replied.

"Why do you think we are going to destroy the world?"

"Because that's what the goal of the people you are involved is. No more questions. I am not smart enough to answer all your question."

This time, the opponent is an artificial master level mage in ice element. I wonder how Angela will win against her?

"No! Don't help me! You can watch from the sideline!"

Seems like she noticed me as well. Since I have the permission, I'll watch from the sideline. As for the other mohawk, I can watch them from here.

The mohawk creates an ice field on the ground, and Angela stopped it from reaching her with her fire. But the fire slowly got taken over by the ice. They weren't extinguished. They were frozen.

Unlike Angela's ice that is hot, or fire that is cold, the fire from Angela got frozen. Little by little, the ice is getting closer to Angela.

But Angela used earth magic to create Ground Spikes and attacked the mohawk. This time, it's really a battle of magic.

Angela with her multielement should be at advantage because of how she can use her four elements. But the mohawk's ice is too strong. Angela will surely be stronger again in this fight.

This time, Angela engulfed herself in fire. The fire around her body is so hot that I can feel it even from this far. But the person inside the fire doesn't seem to feel any heat at all.

That's fire armor. It's totally useless against physical attack, but against ice magic, it should be useful.

"How come you don't feel the heat? And why aren't your clothes burned?" the mohawk asked.

"Training!" Angela replied.

While being covered with fire, she created Fire Spears and threw them to the mohawk. But the mohawk's Ice Shield protected her.

"You made a hole in my shield. You're dangerous," the thin mohawk girl said.

"I'm going to make a hole in your body though."

This time, Angela created even more Fire Spears. And they are all bigger than before and also much hotter.

Wait, that spear looks like Reizpear. I guess since magic comes from imagination, when she's thinking about spear, she's thinking of Reizpear which is my main weapon. It's because for her, I'm the strongest person she ever faced. And with that image in her mind, her Fire Spears will be much stronger.

And I'm right. The Fire Spears destroyed the Ice Shield made by the thin mohawk girl. Before this, Angela needed three Fire Spears to make a hole in the Ice Shield. But now, one Fire Spear is enough to melt the Ice Shield. Not made a hole, but melt.

"This is impossible. You haven't reached master level mage yet."

"It is possible. I'm a genius and I will keep growing stronger!"

Did she call herself genius? Well, confidence is good. And maybe it's because of that confidence that she created even more powerful magic again and again.

The thin mohawk girl is unable to keep up with Angela. While Angela easily creates several Fire Spears instantly, the thin mohawk girl can only create one less Ice Shield in that time. And finally, she no longer has a shield to protect her.

"This is my final attack. I feel sorry that you have been used as experiment, but you have to die so we can have a better future."

Angela created a gigantic Fire Spear, and throw it at the thin mohawk girl. With no more protection, she tried to block it with her arms. But that's pointless. Her arms broke, and the spear pierced her body.

No blood coming out of the corpse. It's because the Fire Spear closed the wound instantly with extreme heat. That's scary. And disgusting. Even though I'm a surgeon.

"…That was well done. Only the side that got burn though. As for the rest, it's pretty much raw. Maybe some parts are rare," I said jokingly.

"That's a human body. Not a steak. Anyway, how's the other?" Angela asked.

"So far, so good. If you have rested enough, let's split up and help the others. Shelia also managed to kill one mohawk. Though she's resting now until her arms grow back," I said.

"She fought until she lost her arms?" Angela asked again.

"You mustn't do that. You're different from her," I said.

"I know. Well, I'll go help the others now. Is there anyone I should be worried about?"

"No. They are doing well. You are free to help anyone. I'll go see Arin. She's alone fighting a mohawk just like you. See you later then."

The two of us split up. I will go see if Arin, the Vampire Queen, can fight on her own against the mohawk. But since she has similar regeneration skill as the werewolves, she should be fine. Unless she lacked blood.

Well, I gave the vampires a job to eradicate another bandit group a few days ago.. They should be full before this mission started.

Chapter 479 – Arin's Side

I was about to go to where Arin is, but I guess that was not necessary. It's because that Arin is being blown away to this location.

She stopped near my location, with her body laying on the ground. She's covered in blood. Her opponent must be a wind mohawk. I mean a wind element artificial master level mage.

Arin quickly stood up, and looked at me.

"He's stronger than I thought!" Arin said.

Though I didn't reply her. And it seems like this wind mage is more powerful than the previous fat mohawk I fought. Maybe I should help her.

"I'll take care of this myself. If I can't do this much, there's no point in me migrating to this world," Arin said.

Actually, there's a point for that. You helped us a lot and even willingly join us. You even gained Albert's trust, so you are very helpful. Though I didn't say that since I still pretend that I can't talk.

Wait, maybe I don't have to hide the fact that I'm not a Living Armor. The mohawks can tell that I'm just someone inside a monster. Though I won't help her much this time. She can fight however she wants.

But for now, I'll check the others first. I think the others might need my help even more. And she has some blood bag carried with her. if she lost too much blood, she can drink them.

For the vampires in this mission, we gave them the blood donated from our expert level mage so they can carry it with them. They are quite the delicacy for the vampires. So, they don't want to use them for this mission since we told them that they are free to use it however they want if they didn't drink the blood for the mission. I think they want to drink the blood later instead of during this tense situation. They prefer to savor it later.

Though after research and experiment, it's best to donate blood at most every two months. Our body needs time until we can completely recover from the loss of our blood. And that's why we need two months.

And the higher your magic level is, the faster your body can recover. So, expert level mages might only need to do it once a month or even less. But just to be safe, I still told them to just do it every two months. And I think we need to have more people to donate their blood.

As for how, we will think about it later. For now, the mission comes first.

Kayla and Jewel are fighting one mohawk. They keep attacking the mohawk to get him overuse his magic and get destroyed just like the mohawk girl I fought the first time. That's a good idea. When I asked if they need my help, they refused it and said that I need to help others who are in bigger trouble.

I looked outside a building, and see several agents, werewolves, and angels fighting two mohawks. There are no other expert level mages because they are busy with other mohawks. I need to help them.

If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game

And it's not just the mohawks who are the trouble. There are some other mages in this place. Most of them are expert level mages.

Even though our advanced level mages can hold them back, they are still troublesome since there are too many of them.

I thought that they should be going to Consenza already, but it seems like they are not going there. But if I think about it, there's a possibility that those who are going there will be much stronger, and maybe have even more numbers than those staying behind here.

We need to be quick, so we can go back to rest before the tournament started.

When I arrive to help the werewolves fighting a mohawk, the werewolves become even more spirited. Their claws and fangs keep wounding the mohawk, until the mohawk finally die. After that, we quickly helped the angels and the agents to defeat the other mohawk. Though some of the werewolves prefer to fight the expert level mages instead. That's fine since I'm here to help.

With that, only the expert level mages remaining here. The werewolves, agents, and angels can take care of them. Though I think some of the agents died because I came too late. I shouldn't have watched the others fight, but I'm more worried about them than these agents. Sorry, but I'll make sure we complete this mission.

The other have stalled the mohawks for a long time. It seems they don't need my help, so I returned back to Arin whose head got sliced with Wind Slash on the forehead. Her brain is free for all to see.

"Tsk! I need to take the blood from the blood bag. I'm still far too weak," Arin said.

"Seems like the others have been defeated. But that's fine. I'm the strongest one left here. Once I'm done with you, I can take care of the others," the mohawk said.

There are too many mohawks here, so I can't keep calling them all mohawk or it will be difficult to differentiate. Good thing this one has a distinct feature.

This one is mohawk has unibrow. A unibrow mohawk. Unibrohawk.

Even after fighting Arin for a while, Unibrohawk is still calm. Seems like he can stay longer than the others.

Arin drank the blood from the blood bag after her head recovered. Maybe because of the quality of the blood, she seems stronger than before.

Arin shoot Blood Bullets from her finger toward the Unibrohawk. But they got blocked by his Wind Shield.

"You have gotten stronger than before. Is it the blood? But you're still not strong enough to defeat me," Unibrohawk said.

"Yeah. I need to drink more blood," Arin said. And this time, she's charging toward me.

She wants to drink my blood? Well, that's fine. She has drunk it once, just a little bit. And it makes her stronger.

Back then, when I fought the Vampire King, he also drank a drop of my blood. But it doesn't affect him much because it was too little. And Arin who drank more, received more power.

This Unibrohawk… if Arin got strength increase like the Vampire King, by drinking the blood of her fellow brethren, she can defeat him easily since she's much stronger than the Vampire King back when I defeated him. But there's no way that she would do it since she will lose her mind.

That's why, her other option is to drink my blood who is nearby. And I let Victoria to make a slight opening next to my neck so Arin can drink my blood from there.

"You're letting her drink your blood? What a kind master you are to let your tamed monster drink your blood," Unibrohawk said.

I'm not her master though. Arin is a wild vampire. Tamed by civilization of this world.

Unibrohawk just watched Arin sink her fangs inside my neck. I feel a slight pain, but it's nothing I can't endure. Just a little bit of blood. And as experimented, I can recover my loss blood faster than even expert level mage. Since the mission is about to end, I can relax after this. That's why it's fine for Arin to drink my blood.

If the mission still takes a while longer, I would refuse it and join the fight.

"AAAAARGGHH!"

After drinking my blood, Arin let go of her fang and screamed. Her scream is filled with bloodthirst and I can see Unibrohawk is affected by it.

"Seems like your master's blood is different. You have become even stronger—huh?"

Before he could even notice, Arin already disappear from next to me. And she's already behind his back as she throws a punch toward him.

Unibrohawk couldn't use his magic on time to protect himself, but his body is still quick enough to block Arin's punch. But that's useless as his arms got broken from blocking her punch.

But Arin's attack is not over yet. She threw more and more punches. Her strength not just come from her body. She used the blood of me, an Aura user, to increase her attack.

And since I'm an expert at fighting close combat, her strength is much stronger than if she used the blood of the expert level mage to improve her strength. That's just our theory, but it seems like we're spot on.

Even though she became stronger when she used the blood of expert level mage, she's not a mage. She's still a close combat fighter. That's why the blood of an Aura user is much better in improving her strength than the blood from expert level mage.

"Ugh! This…"

"DIE!!!"

Arin attacked the Unibrohawk with series of punches and she never stopped her attacks. It's simple, but very effective as Unibrohawk got damaged more and more without being able to cast any magic to defend himself.

Just like that, Arin won the fight.

"I won!"

"Don't be happy. If I'm not here, you won't be able to defeat him," I said.

"But I still won! How's the other?" Arin asked.

"They are… finishing their job. Seems like we managed to kill every single one of them. Let's return to where the others are."

Arin has potential to defeat artificial master level mage. But she still needs my blood for it. She has to get even stronger.. But I think she is motivated to get stronger now that she knows her strength is not enough to win against the cult.

Chapter 480: Mission Over

We regrouped with everyone after all the enemies in this place died. Only five agents died for this mission. As for the rest, the angels are healing the wounded at the moment.

Not just the people. The goos also have been defeated as well. We can rest easy...not.

"I'll go check around the perimeter to see if there's any other people or even facilities nearby," I said to Candy and the others.

"Oh, please check if you know where we are. I think we are inside Arturo's territory. But I don't know where exactly it is," Candy said.

"Hmm... I can sense my clones from the south. It's where we entered the underground from. The lab of where the compass is pointing," Victoria said.

"I see... Then, please check that place without using portal. If you can estimate the distance, that will be great. I think we are at unexplored area from the map," Candy said.

"I'll do that. Roy can check around if there's any enemies nearby," Wendy said before she flew away.

.....

I guess that's what I will do. Though before leaving, I have something I need to do first.

I need to check on the monsters.

"Shelia, how's the werewolves?" I asked Shelia.

"They are doing well. Their injuries have been healed, and there's no casualty among us," Shelia replied.

"Good. What do you want to do now? The mission is over. I just need to patrol the area. Do you want me to return the werewolves back to the Monsters World?" I asked.

"We'll stay here and see if there's any smell we can track. If we find anything, we will inform you," Shelia said.

I looked at the werewolves, and they seem to not have enough of fighting. Well, this is better anyway.

"Okay. How about the vampires?"

This time, I asked Arin who is together with the other vampires.

"If possible, we'd like to return. We have used a lot of blood for this mission," Arin said.

"Then you can stay here and wait for us. I will use portal to bring everyone home later."

After that, I looked at the angels who seems to desperate to go home.

"...I'll return you all home together with the werewolves. Be patient. Just stay here and heal everyone."

I don't need to ask them what they want. I just gave them the order. And since they can't disobey me, they had no choice but to follow my order.

The werewolves have split up to follow the scents they found. I also need to check around the area before I can finally go home.

This place is surrounded by trees. I guess we're in the middle of a forest. When I asked Fabio if he knows about the dungeon since it's close to Arturo, he said that he didn't know that a dungeon exist around this place. Maybe no one has ever informed the kingdom about it.

Though from the looks of it, the place has gone through a lot of modification by humans. I think they should have been in this place around two or three decades ago. Maybe even more.

Well, I'll leave the investigation of this place to Candy and the others.

I run on air quite far from where we were. Until my sight can't see the entrance to the dungeon we exited anymore. So far, there's no one nearby. No other buildings as well.

I made a round trip around the area just so the center, which is the dungeon entrance, is barely within my sight. I didn't see anyone. I guess they are all busy with the tournament.

Though I found something else. There are several other dungeons nearby. Though they seem to have been explored regularly, so I can see through it with my Divine Vision.

I saw some werewolves entering the dungeon. I guess the people from the lab where I captured the Professor is would regularly visit the dungeon. That's why when the werewolves are following the scent, it leads them to the dungeon.

I didn't see anything powerful inside the dungeon, so I can leave it to them. Though if they see something weird, I hope they will inform us about it. I'll just report to Candy about the dungeons I found.

After surveying the area some more to make sure I didn't miss anything, I returned back to where Candy and the others are.

"Roy, did you find anything?" Candy asked.

"There are some dungeons nearby. But they have been visited by some people, so I can see through it," I said.

"Really? Then, if there are more than just one dungeon, I guess they have been going around this place for quite a long time."

"Probably. Oh, there are werewolves who are exploring the dungeon. I guess we can hear more from them," I said.

"That's good. Celestine, is the Professor has been with the cult even before you joined?" Candy asked Celestine.

"Yes. Or at least, he has been there since I became a leader of a faction," Celestine said.

The big boobs faction. Which was led by Celestine to rope more people with similar fetish to join the cult.

Though that faction must have existed for a long time. Maybe there's someone before Celestine who was their leader.

The case must be similar to the big buttock faction which was led by Veronica.

...It's sad to see people's desire being used like that. Had I known about their factions in my past life, I would have picked...

Wait, that's not important now.

"We will continue investigate this place before the werewolves return. Once they have come back and report what they found, you can use portal to bring the monsters back to their world and the others as well. We will leave some agents to stay here to continue investigating. For now, help us finding something under the rubbles," Candy said.

The building has been destroyed. Only the upper part. But the lower part, there are many holes on the wall. Proof that there were battles there.

Most of the agents are inside that building to find something. But there are some papers under the rubbles. Which is difficult for the agents to retrieve.

"I guess that's what I will do. Elsie, go help the others find anything under the rubbles. Tell the earth mages where the thing you find is, and they will take care of it. I'll go look on that side."

With Elsie and the earth mages' help, we managed to find many documents, and some tools that we don't know about. Must be something the Professor, or the people from the lab invented.

By this time, Albert must have learned a lot from the Professor. If he's already conscious. I think I hit him pretty hard.

After working for a while, the werewolves have returned. They also gave similar reports of the dungeons.

"There were some monsters that have been imprisoned inside those dungeons. The cage holding them is quite strong. Though we left them be since you might want to see them. Other than that, the scent we followed have started to disappear. A lot of them must have went away for quite some time already," Shelia said.

"Thank you for the report. We will check on the dungeons later. Roy, please tell me the location of the dungeons," Candy said.

I talked with Shelia and the werewolves about the dungeons. And the numbers of dungeons they find is the same as the numbers of dungeons that I see. So, that's everything. I don't need to go out again to check.

"It's finally over. I'll bring you and the angels back to your world. Shelia, what do you want to do?"

"I'll stay in this world for now. I want to eat Lina's cooking," Shelia said.

"Yeah, me too. Candy, is everything finished?" I asked Candy.

"Yeah. I have split up some groups to stay here, some other to check on the dungeon, and another group to the place we entered the dungeon from. Please transport a group to that place," Candy said.

So, before going home, I need to transport some people to where we entered the dungeon from. The place with underground lab.

Some of the agents died, so Candy changes the arrangement a bit before I transported them.

After they leave, I opened a portal to Monsters World. The werewolves, Graham, and the angels entered the portal and they can return home already. Seems like the angels are tired from continuously using healing magic.

The same for Kayla. She used healing magic more than earth or light magic during the fight against a mohawk. The aftermath of a job is the time for the healers to shine the most.

I returned Fabio and the others to Arturo. And then, Candy, Wendy, Shirley, and some people are going to the capital of Tatrama.

Finally, me, Kayla, Angela, Jewel, Sara, and the vampires returned to Cassau. Although Sara is an agent, she needs to rest before the tournament.

Next on our list is the tournament. I won't watch it as I need to be careful of what the fake king of Arturo and the cult would do. But I hope nothing bad will happen to the people I know.

Chapter 481: It's a Good Day... Not!

I slept well last night after finishing our mission. We captured the Professor and the labs. They are still under investigation, but Albert will tell me anything important once he has interrogated the Professor.

As for the doctors in Varadis, they are also busy experimenting on the few mohawks I captured and still sleeping. Other than for research, they want to see if they can cure them. If those artificial master level mages can be our allies, our power will increase greatly. Though I won't put too much hope in it.

And since it looks like the mohawk won't wake up anytime soon, I returned Veronica here last night. If they are in need of help, they can contact us by contacting Sonia, or destroyed a Blobby that they have to alert me.

By the way, Sonia and Spot who were guarding Consenza, saw several suspicious people enter the country. So far, none of them were expert level mages. Because if they are indeed expert level mages, they should have realized that something is amiss even when Sonia is using invisibility, and Spot is using his camouflage.

Though the cult must be planning something. If there are too many expert level mages at once waiting at Consenza, the expert level mages from the cult will be suspicious.

Instead, since there's an expert level mage in Consenza that Celestine trained. Just one girl whom got trained by Celestine. But that's enough since with her detection skill, if she noticed someone detecting her presence, she can tell that they are expert level mages.

This way, she can report if there's any mages who can detect her presence among the people coming to Consenza.

.....

I have slept well and feeling refreshed. Maybe because I'm extremely fit physically that I have recovered my stamina quickly. As for the others, they are still sleeping. Though since it's me we're talking about, I just don't want to leave the bed. And that's why I return back to sleep again.

Mentally, I'm not exhausted as well. I have long prepared about this. Though the same can't be said to the others. They didn't exhaust their stamina and mana, but they are still too tired. And they need to participate in the tournament as well, so they need to recover to their best as soon as possible.

It will be one week until it's time for the tournament. I will transport the participant with portal tomorrow. It will be weird if they only made appearance on the day of the tournament.

Anyway, I was forced to be awake since down there, at the dining hall where breakfast is being prepared, a dog is trying to eat them all. She's not a dog actually. A werewolf.

If I don't stop her, all the food will be gone before the others awake.

"Enough eating, Shelia! The others won't have food to eat!" I shouted at her.

"It's fine! Lina said that she bought a lot of ingredients for today to celebrate yesterday's mission," Shelia said while munching on a fish dish.

"Oh, then it's fine. I will eat some as well before the others wake up then," I said before taking a seat as well.

Last night after returning from our mission, Lina didn't prepare much seeing how tired everyone was. And being the only one excited about food seems wrong, so I also eat only a little last night. And by little, I mean three portions of regular meal for me.

As for Shelia, Lina has prepared a whole table for Shelia alone last night. Though today, the food is more than last night.

"You can finish everything here. I don't think the others will be able to eat so much after they wake up since they are too tired. I'll make them some easy to digest food once they wake up. So, feel free to fill your stomach," Lina said.

"Thank you, Lina! You're the best!" Shelia praised her.

"Yeah. I have gone to a lot of restaurant, but your meal taste much better," I also didn't forget to praise her. It's the easiest thing we can do to her who loves to be complimented.

"If it's not enough, you can tell me. I will make you some more since we have a lot of ingredients," Lina said with a smile.

Her reason to live is simply to be of serve to me now. I just praised her a few times when I first met her, and she becomes like this now.

Now, another step to the cult's destruction has been taken. The Professor. I feel some weights lifted from my shoulder. Feel like today is going to be a good day.

...Or not. I sensed Sonia appears beside me. the only one who would contact me this early in the morning is none other than the king, Albert.

"...What is it?" I asked Sonia.

"Albert wants you to bring the other kings and come to his location as soon as possible," Sonia said.

"Have you told the other kings?" I asked again.

"Yes. They are all ready to go as soon as possible. Henry was a bit busy with the people you brought over, but he has some time. Lynn and Claudia don't have anything to do until the tournament opening ceremony. As for Harold, he's always free. Also, please bring Celestine or Veronica with you. Both of them together also fine," Sonia said.

I looked at where the two are sleeping, and see that they have already awake. I told Sonia to call those two and see if any one of them would come with me. Both of them said that they are willing to come. So, after the two had a light breakfast, I will bring them with me.

"I'll leave now. Shelia, take care of everyone here."

I told Shelia to protect everyone and I opened four portals at once to let the kings come here, and use the portal toward Albert's location so they can go there directly.

All of us entered the portal to where Albert is as he greeted us.

"Welcome. I've been waiting for you," Albert said.

"It's not that long since you contacted Sonia, right?" I asked.

"Yes. But I have been waiting since then."

"So, what is this place?" Old man Henry asked.

"This is the place where the Professor is being detained. I have asked him many things for a whole night. That's what I will report to you," Albert said.

I can see dark circle under his eyes. He must be sleepy. I'll use sleeping gas later on him after we finished our discussion so he can sleep well.

We brought Veronica and Celestine to the detained Professor. His eyes are covered, so he shouldn't be able to see us.

"Is he the real Professor?" I asked the two.

"I think he is," Veronica said.

"Who's there!? How do you know me? We shouldn't have any traitor at all!" the Professor shouted after hearing us talking.

We can get two things from that reaction. He is the real Professor, and the cult still don't know that Veronica and Celestine are both traitors.

"He said he has erased his own name and let himself be called the Professor. I have asked him everything I could ask, so we don't have any need of him anymore," Albert said.

"So, can I dispose him right away?" I asked Albert with a hint of killing intent. Everyone in this place sensed my killing intent and are shaking.

"Not now. For now, our discussion comes first," Albert said as he led us to another place.

It's like a meeting place used by the king for important matters. And it is indeed an important matter.

With Albert in the lead, he told us about everything important that he learned from the Professor.

"Some of his words are lies, and I asked him mostly questions that he can only answer with yes or no, so I can guess the real answer thanks to my ability," Albert said before he started telling us what he learned.

It's true that they are aiming for the moon. In other words, they are aiming for the Monsters World. But from what the Professor told Albert, it seems like they are going there by using some sort of high-tech vehicle that is so fast and can reach the moon in days.

"What about portals? Does the Professor know about portals?" I asked.

"I don't think so. I asked him if he knows about other ways to go to the moon, and he said that he doesn't know any other ways. But the so-called Evil God might have kept it as secret. But at least at the moment, it's impossible for them to have many people come to Monsters World at once," Albert said.

That's good. Even in Monsters World, there are other places that I avoided because of the danger. I learned those places from the monsters I know including Andro.

Albert continued telling us what we know, and it's finally the last important thing to report.

"So, according to the Professor, children have higher chance to be artificially modified into master level mage," Albert said.

"That shithead!" Celestine was angry when she heard that. But thanks to Lynn being here, she didn't destroy anything.

"Wait, children? There are no children among the mohawks that we faced. Don't tell me-"

"That's right. They are sending those children to Consenza."

Albert said after hearing my guess. And Celestine looked as if her energy has all drained from her body.

"...It's nearly impossible to capture them alive during war. And how many will be there?" I asked while holding back my anger.

"Fifty of them."

Fifty of them. It's impossible to capture them alive. Which mean we... have to kill them. Unless we have other ways.

"Old man, quickly do more research on the mohawks I brought to you. If you find any way to stop them without killing them, tell us. Albert, have you asked how the Professor control them?" I asked Albert after giving an order to a king of another country.

"They are being brainwashed. But without using magic," Albert said.

"Sigh... Old man. Ask Russell if they can alter the brainwashing on those artificial master level mages to make them follow our order instead of the Professor or anyone else. If we find a way to do it, we don't have to fight those artificial master level mages. Though the battle will still be difficult, at least we could incapacitate their strongest assets," I said to old man Henry again.

"I will tell him about it. Also, can you lend Victoria and Queen Marie to help us in the research? If they can do brainwashing using a tool they created, we might be able to create a tool to alter the brainwashing. Marie is a genius inventor, and with Victoria's idea from her world, the two of them could be a better pair than Victoria and Roy," Old man Henry said.

"I'll allow it. Though I will ask Marie first," Albert said.

As for Victoria, she already jumped from my shoulder to old man Henry's shoulder.

"We don't have much time before the tournament, but let's do our best!"

Chapter 482: Lenko City Has Been Captured

Apparently, children, even though they haven't manifested their magic elements yet, they have the aptitude to be artificially turned into master level mage. That's why the Professor experimented on children.

"I see. Let's kill him now," I said without hesitation.

"Not yet. He might still have some other information that we can get," Albert said.

"Yeah, but he's a thinker. Not a fighter. What if he has a plan for when he's captured like now? If the cult somehow managed to get him back, it will be too dangerous," I said.

"Just let him be for now. I'll take care of it. Don't worry, after I finished absorbing all information he knows, he will die. I'm thinking of asking him more later," Albert said.

"Don't let him rest. If he's resting, his mind would be calmed down and he can think of a way to trick you. He might have realized that you have some sort of lie detector skill since he's smart," I said.

"You're right. I'll ask someone to keep him awake at all time and never get a chance to rest," Albert said as he called someone to keep the Professor occupied.

.....

Just having children as the enemies is enough to make some of us hesitate in fighting. And other than the children, we will face other enemies as well. We can expect that some of them are actually unwilling to fight, but thanks to the brainwashing, they will end up fighting to their death.

The worst part is that if we kill those children, Celestine and probably some other people will refuse to take part in the fight. Not just that. They might even betray us to protect the children.

Sigh... I hope Victoria, Marie, Russell, old man Henry, and other researchers in Varadis, will be able to help us find the solution for their brainwashing quickly. We only have less than one week to find the solution, or we will go through the hard way.

"Well, anything else?" I asked Albert since it seems that the discussion is not over yet.

"Alright. Most of the things that the Professor knows are about his research and invention. Not just he invented something to brainwash people, he also experimented on monsters to make them stronger, while also obey him or someone he assigned. He knows very little about the cult's plan," Albert said.

Albert continued telling us about the monsters and other stuffs. Seems like many mutated monsters are under the cult's control. Though some of them managed to escape. Just like the Orc Emperor that I faced back then after my first time becoming a clown.

It has been so long since then. I wonder how Thomas is doing? He's in Consenza because he knows there will be crowd before the tournament. I'll join up with him and perform again as a clown before the tournament. It's also a good disguise as no one will think that the circus is related to our alliance. And Clarence the clown is the strongest clown in the world. Or at least that's what I think. I doubt there's any master level mage who became a clown. That's why I think I'm the strongest clown.

I will bring the others as well, so I won't go there right away. Maybe tomorrow since everyone will still need to rest.

"One more thing. Seems like while we are busy with fighting the cult, the cult is targeting another location and they captured it," Albert said.

"They captured a location? Is it somewhere in Tatrama Kingdom?" I asked.

Since Albert is the one telling this to the other kings who didn't know about this news, it must be something recent.

"No. The location doesn't belong to any country," Albert said.

Somewhere that doesn't belong to any country? There's such place?

"You mean the neutral city, Lenko, in the center of the continent!?" Harold shouted.

Lenko City in the center? I think I have heard it before. It's the neutral city in the center where when there's something important for the four leaders of each country would come and have important discussion.

"Right. That place has been taken over. And Gilbert has died," Albert said.

Gilbert? Claudia informed me who doesn't know much that Gilbert is the mayor of the neutral city.

It's also the place where Albert and the others realized that the king of Arturo has been swapped with someone else. And the reason is because that fake king didn't use the code they agreed on, and the fact that the fake king didn't try to approach Claudia at all.

"So... that means there's no longer neutral city?" I asked.

"Well, that's that. The center of the continent has been on dispute ever since a long time ago. As for why they took it now when it's close to the tournament, it seems like they want us to focus on Lenko more than other places. Even the tournament. What should we do about that city?" Albert asked.

This is not a discussion that I can help with. I don't know what that Lenko City is good for. I'll just listen to how they can find the solution for it.

Seems like they agree that it will be dangerous to leave it be. Since it's in the center of the continent, it makes it easy for the cult from that place to go to any other country. So, we ended up having someone to go there. Not me since I'm important to protect Consenza.

"We'll go. They won't notice that the real king of Arturo is the one to take over Lenko. As for the territory, we can discuss it later after the tournament is over. Since Carmen and Fabio are already expert level mages, and Kron is a good friend of Fabio, I think we can do it," Harold said.

"Okay. I will send some free agents as reinforcement. You can use them as you wish," Albert said.

No one will think that Harold who was supposed to be dead to take over Lenko.

"Oh, about Arturo. Does anyone hear something from Toni? He's still being trusted by the fake king, right?" I asked.

"He's doing well. And because they are focusing on the tournament are have left to Consenza, the security is low. Toni has more freedom, but his mother still trying to get him to join the cult," Harold said.

Toni is our important ally and also one of Harold's son. He's staying behind in the capital of Arturo despite the danger. And he's doing extremely well. For me personally, I think he's more suited to be the king than Fabio if they recapture Arturo. Though I know nothing about being a king. I'm good at being the king's friend though.

After that, we discussed some other things. But I don't really need to listen to that, so I focused my sight on the tortured Professor.

He is being held upside down, and from time to time, his head is dipped into a basin full of water. Well, he won't be able to think calmly now.

Seeing the Professor being tortured, I feel slightly relieved. For such person to play with humans... And there's also the other cult who let it happens. As expected, I won't be able to rest easy until I could destroy the cult completely.

Finally, the discussion is over. And I returned everyone back to their home. As for Harold, tomorrow, Spot will bring him, Carmen, Fabio, Kron, and some other people to the city of Lenko. Since I have never been there and never planted a Blobby in that place, I can't go there with portal.

I have told Harold to plant a Blobby somewhere no one can notice once everything is done in Lenko.

Anyway, once Harold has finished taking over Lenko, he will quickly go to the capital of Arturo to retrieve his kingdom back. He and his family will be extremely busy.

He won't participate in the battle with us in Consenza, but taking over his kingdom back is also an important mission. I hope things will go well for them. And for us too.

"Alright. I'll be leaving to Consenza tomorrow and join up with Thomas in the circus. When will you be there?" I asked Albert.

"You can transport me there a day before the tournament. I will be busy until then with the Professor and other stuffs," Albert said.

And so, I returned back to Cassau where everyone has been waiting for us.

I told them about what Albert found out from the Professor. And as expected, they started to show hesitation when they heard our enemies are children.

"...We will really fight children?" Kayla asked.

"I hope we won't. Marie, Victoria, old man Henry, and the others are trying their best to undo the brainwashing. At least we need to make those children to not fight us. Though if some of them have grown up, I will kill them," I said.

I don't want to kill children if possible. And if they have grown up, they are no longer children. So, I won't hesitate to cut them down.

But if there's no other choice, I will kill them. That's the only salvation I can give them.

Chapter 483: A Trouble Right Away

Today, I brought everyone to Consenza. Just those in Cassau. Including Daniel and the children. As for the kings and people from other countries, I will take them here next time. Before the tournament.

"Celestine, you can bring everyone to sightseeing the capital. I'll go meet Thomas and see if I can join back to the circus," I said to Celestine. She was born here, and is the sister of the Empress. She knows this place more than the others.

This time, I'm really alone. Other than some Blobbies hidden under my clothes. Because Victoria is busy in Varadis trying to create something to undo the brainwashing.

She's not an inventor or researcher, but her knowledge from her world has helped Marie creates many amazing inventions. That's why I hope their teamwork can create something great again.

Though the time limit is too short. I hope they can at least do something in this short time.

Well, let's forget about those things. They are not my problems at the moment. I also let the girls and the children go on their way to enjoy the capital of another country.

After they heard about how the cult is using children for experiment, and they succeeded in creating more artificial master level mage with them, the girls are depressed. That's why they need to relax more for the next few days. And I will entertain them with my clown performance.

.....

Though for them, they have treated me like a clown for a long time.

I have scheduled a meeting with the owner of the circus troupe, Thomas, later in the afternoon. So, I will take a walk around this city first. And clean up some trouble along the way.

Because of the tournament, people started coming to the capital of Consenza from all over the continent. The place where the tournament will be held is in the huge arena outside the city. It was newly built with the help of Celestine and some carpenters. Just using earth mage alone is not enough to build an amazing building. Though it helps getting it built faster.

For now, let's check on the Arena. There's no one there other than some people who maintains the place. They are people that Lynn trusted.

They have been informed of my arrival and will help me in any way. Though I don't know if I need their help or not.

The Arena only have the roof above the spectators' seat. Not above the stage. If it's raining during the match, won't it be difficult for the audience to see the battle? What if one of the fighters is a water mage? They will be at advantage when it's raining.

I entered the arena from the sky, and as I landed on the stage, a man greeted me. He's the one in charge of showing me around. Though I am already looking around.

"Are you Mr. Roy?" the man asked.

"Just call me Roy. I won't stay here for long, so you can do your job," I said.

"I need to see the evidence that you are the person our Empress talking about," the man said.

Well, I guess that's to be expected. Since the cult should have been on the way, or even already been here, they need to see that I'm the real Roy. I show him my Hunter Card which has my ID to the man.

"Here's my Hunter Card. Is this enough?" I asked.

"It is, but Her majesty the Empress said that you can show me something else. She said that without magic, you can smash a stone with just your barehand. Can you show it to me?" the man asked.

"...Is it really just to proof my identity, or is t because you want to see me break a stone barehanded?"

"Because I want to. May I see it? You can destroy that rock off the stage over there," the man pointed at a rock the size of a human head at the side of the stage.

"Why is there a rock in this place anyway?" I asked.

"I put it there after I was charged with the task to guide you around the arena," the man replied.

Hmm... for now, I'll put a hole in the rock with my finger. That should be enough.

It was done quickly that the man didn't even notice that I already made a hole in the stone.

"Done. Now, I want you to come with me," I said.

The man walked closer and see a hole I created with my finger. And when he's focused on the hole, I covered his eyes with my hand, opened a portal to where Lynn is, and bring him over.

"What are you doing!? Wait, where is this? Your majesty!? How did I end up here!?" the man looked around in confusion.

I transported us both to the office where Lynn and Claudia are working. The two were not as surprised as the man seeing me enter without permission. But they are confused as I'm bringing someone else with me.

"Oh, Roy! You already go to the arena?" Lynn asked as she realizes who the man I brought with me is.

"What else did you tell him other than breaking a stone barehanded? And how many other people have you told?" I asked Lynn casually without any honorific. The man looked angry, but Claudia said something first.

"Her majesty, we need to keep Roy's identity as secret other than to those who knows him already. Once his identity got leaked, we don't know what the cult would do," Claudia reminded Lynn.

"...Ah! That's right! I forgot! Hey, you! You didn't tell anyone else about him, right!?" Lynn shouted at the man I brought.

"No, your majesty!" The man has a scared expression on his face. I'm not Albert who can detect lies with his ability, but I can see someone's heartbeat.

"Really? I remember that what I told you for the mission is a secret, right?" Lynn asked.

"Yes, your majesty! I kept it as secret!"

Still lying it seems. Let's break his arm before asking him more question.

While the man is still kneeling down, I kicked his arm and broke it.

"ARGH!"

"Seems like you're lying. Tell me the truth. Who else did you tell?" Lynn asked him again.

"...My wife, your majesty."

Sigh... I guess I need to go and get his wife then.

I asked the man where his wife is and he was crying and beg me to not harm her.

"Just tell me where your wife is. If she's with the cult, I will kill her though," I said threateningly.

"Please, don't! I beg you!"

"Roy, I found his address. He lives in that house. it's visible from the window," Claudia opened the window and pointed at a house in the city.

She knows that I have Divine Vision, so I can see where it is her finger is pointed at.

I jumped out of the window, find the house, grab the woman inside, and return back to the palace without anyone seeing me. I didn't use portal this time.

"Is it her?" I asked the man.

"Please don't kill her!"

"Even though she's a member of the cult?" I asked.

At this time, the woman finally recovers after I suddenly grabbed her and bring her here. She looks around, and see that she's in front of the Empress.

"Honey? Why am I here? Why is your arm broken!?"

I let go of the woman, and she quickly run over toward her husband. Though what I'm looking at is the explosive device in her mouth.

Sigh... it's just the first day, and an incident already occur. What a pain.

I grabbed the woman again, opened her mouth, and plucked out the explosive device in her mouth.

"See this? This is the proof that she belongs to the cult. Now, tell me who else have you told about his mission?" I asked the woman.

"W-what are you talking about!? What is this cult you're talking!?"

I guess I'll ask Albert even though he's busy.

"Oh, right. Lynn, when did you tell him about the mission?" I asked Lynn.

"Just this morning. I think that you might be arriving soon, so I told him to guide you around the arena. I shouldn't have done that. I'm truly sorry about how things went this way," Lynn bowed her head to me.

And seeing that, the man and his wife become more afraid of me. They finally know now that I am higher than the Empress of their country.

Well, I guess I will delay my meeting with Thomas today. I need to bring these two to Tatrama so Albert can ask them.

"Well, I will return soon. The others are enjoying the city with Celestine. For some of them, it's their first time going to Consenza after all. After I return, I will look for more members of the cult. If you heard of someone killing people around the capital, that might be me. After all, there are many other people with explosive device in their mouth. See you later," I said to Lynn and Claudia as I used to cover the head of the two people with Blobbies, and put Magic Restricting Collar on them as I opened a portal to where Albert is.

Just the first day at Consenza and there's already trouble. What would happen during the tournament?

Chapter 484: Meeting Thomas

"Luckily, Lynn only gave the order this morning. The wife hadn't told anyone yet, but it seems like she was planning to at night when her husband is sleeping. As for the man, he doesn't even know that his wife is related to the cult. Well, they are in the middle of a chat right now. Though both of them are wearing collars and are being tied," Albert said.

Right now, I'm in Tatrama after transporting the man who was supposed to be my guide around the arena, and his wife.

I was just suspicious about the man because Lynn stupidly told him how strong I am. It's just breaking a rock with my strength, but it's a key information that the cult, especially the Evil God, that must not know yet.

We are still skeptical if the Evil God is still the same person who killed all Aura users in the past or not. We are moving ahead assuming that he is the same person so we can be prepared for anything.

"Then, that was really close. If I didn't get suspicious, the cult would have known that I'm an Aura user," I said to Albert.

"Yeah. That was really close. But don't blame Lynn. I too, knowing that I have a friend that can crush a boulder barehanded without magic, I want to boast about you," Albert said.

"I'm not blaming her. She's just lacking experience even though she has been an Empress longer than you have been a king. Seems like when Lynn gave the order, Claudia wasn't there so she couldn't stop her in time. I bet Claudia is scolding Lynn right now. If I bring Celestine in, she would be crying non-stop," I said.

.....

"Still, do you really want to continue hiding the fact that you can use Aura? I don't think it's as important as you thought it is," Albert asked curiously.

"Not really. I actually don't mind much that there will be more people know that I'm an Aura user. I just think that it could be a good bait against the cult. If they know about Aura, they will put off everything to get to me. If they don't, that means the Evil God is not the same person as the one who killed Sonia and Victoria in the past, and he didn't spread the knowledge about Aura to the cult. I don't know when, but let's use my status as Aura user one day during the right moment. The tournament is close, but even if they bring many strong people to fight, I don't think they will bring every single members of the cult there. Which mean it's still a long way until their destruction," I said.

"That's a good idea. There will be a right time, but it's not now. Well, I also have new information I received from the Professor. Want to hear it?"

Oh? He still managed to get more information from the Professor? If he's not a king, he will be a really talented interrogator.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Well, it's about the invention to travel to the moon, or should I say the Monsters World," Albert said.

"What about it?"

If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game

"It might have been successful, but because they don't have a way to communicate, they don't know yet. They used mages to power the vehicle, so I guess it's pretty big and can hold a lot of people at once," Albert said.

"...doesn't that mean Marie is in danger? Well, she has always been in danger ever since she invented the Television with Victoria. I guess nothing change," I said.

"Actually, ever since the Television has been used for the college tournament, people have entered the capital. Some of them are members of the cult. But so far, Miguel managed to find any suspicious people and kill or arrest them," Albert said.

Miguel? Who is this guy again?

"You know him as Mustache," Albert said.

"Oh, right. How was he? I have never seen him for a while already."

"He's an expert level mage now. And he's been so busy with the security of the palace and the capital. Though I will bring him later to Consenza as my bodyguard, so you will meet him again," Albert said.

Well, as long as he didn't shave his mustache, I can tell who he is.

...is this just like how the members of the cult can only tell Celestine from her breasts and Veronica from her butts?

"Well, if that's all, I will go get some rest before asking the Professor even further. What do you want with him? He doesn't know anything," Albert asked about the man I brought.

"He will stay prisoned here for a while until the tournament and everything else is over before he can return. Or maybe I can have him returned to see how evil the cult is? Whatever. If he's annoying, just kill him. I'll tell Lynn that he won't be coming back soon," I said before opening a portal to return back to Consenza.

"Okay. See you later,"

With that, I returned back to the palace in Consenza and see the Empress is crying from being scolded by Claudia.

"...I thought I need to bring Celestine here to make you cry, but I guess Claudia alone is enough," I said to the crying Empress.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Lynn keeps apologizing over and over again. I guess I won't scold her anymore.

"Okay. The woman is a member of the cult, but the man isn't. Since the woman is going to tell other members of the cult about her husband's mission, it means she will meet them soon. And there's a place where they gather together at night. I'm going to at least kill those people later tonight. See you later,"

I used a portal back to the Arena, and look around again at the arena. I can see some mysterious tools around the Arena. If they are another explosive device, whoever planted them are thinking of activating them during the tournament.

Other than the screens, cameras, and the microphone for the commentators, there shouldn't be any other magic tools in the arena. Claudia has informed me about everything that should be placed. I don't think they will be activated anytime soon, but I have reported about it to Claudia before I close the portal.

After checking the Arena, I'm thinking of patrolling and search the cult's hideouts in this place. But I almost forget to do one thing.

I opened a portal to the Monsters Village. It's on the Blobby that Red, the representative of the werewolves, had.

"Red, I want you to get some werewolves to move and see if they can find the scent of humans in that world other than those you know. There's a chance that the enemy has started invading your world, but there's no evidence yet. Just tell me if you find anything," I said.

"Understood. If we find any who are still alive, can we kill them?" Red asked.

"If they have more than one, you can kill them and leave at least one person alive. Don't go too far since I might summon you all soon. But after that, you can continue look further," I said.

After giving the order to Red, I closed the portal. The werewolves will think that it might be a good way to practice since they almost failed in defeating a mohawk before. But since there will be a fight soon, they won't go too far even if I didn't tell him.

As for other races, they are useless in tracking. Well, not really useless. It's just that the werewolves are too good at it, so they don't really have much presence other than when I need them. Especially the elves. I don't know what they are doing in the forest they created. Worshipping Sunny?

After telling the werewolves about the mission to track any human's trace, I patrolled the capital and kill any cult members who are walking in an empty alley.

Since the tournament will begin soon, there are many members of the cult roaming in the capital. And it's difficult to find them walking alone. I guess I'll snipe them from afar tonight. Now, it's around the time of my meeting with Thomas. My return as Clarence is coming.

I entered the restaurant we're meeting in, and see that Thomas was already there waiting for me. Well, actually, I saw him even before I entered the restaurant.

"Thomas, how's the business?"

After greeting him and had a small chat, I asked him about the circus.

"It has become so popular now. Though when we were at Arturo, we were scared shitless. Hearing that we are going to perform in front of many members of the cult scare me. Though since the performers are all special agent, they are rather calm about it. I'm the only normal person in the circus," Thomas said.

"How were the performers?"

"They are doing really great. In fact, some of them are willing to pursue their career in circus performance after the cult is destroyed."

"Me too. If the cult is destroyed, I am interested in performing more regularly. Though I don't want to do it too much," I said.

"You're going to return as Clarence the clown, right? Later tonight, try not to outperform the other performers. It was difficult to meet the expectation of the audience after you performed," Thomas said.

I guess he's right. I'll hold back more next time, and let the others get the spotlight.

I got my role back quickly and will perform right away tonight after training with the other performers. So, after the meeting at the restaurant, I greeted the other performers.

Once the show is over, it's sniping time.

Chapter 485: After the Show is Over

"Ladies and Gentlemen! That's Clarence the clown! He will be staying and perform with us for the next few days until the tournament begun!"

Thomas as the master of the circus said as my performance ended. It's a great performance. I held back as much as possible while still giving the audiences the laughter they deserve.

I also see Angela, Kayla, Celestine, Daniel, and the others applauding and laughing at my performance. It's good to see them who had low spirit when they entered the tent to laugh and have such high spirit.

They were low in spirits because of the news that we are going to face children as our enemies. At least I can help to raise their spirits this way.

After the show is over, the audiences left the tent in laughter. Talking with their friends and family they brought here about the performance. And even though I hold back from doing too much on my own, they are talking about Clarence's performance.

Not just that. They were also astounded by the others' performances as well. That makes everyone's effort worth it. The other performers, who are agents, are happy with the result.

"Are they always like this after every performance?" I asked Thomas while removing my clown's garb.

.....

"Yes. They enjoyed performing so much now. Though they never forget their real duty. But I hope in the future, their real duty is to perform in circus and not investigating that cult anymore. That's why I hope you can bring an end to them as soon as possible," Thomas said.

"I agree. I also want to do that, but it will be difficult. Even now, we don't know if they will go all out bringing everyone with them or not here. But we will try our best. Anyway, what will you do now?" I asked Thomas.

"For now, like I said before at the end of the show, I will stay here and let the circus open for a few more days before the tournament. Once the tournament begun, everyone will be focused more on the tournament and not the circus. We can't compete with that. We will be on break at that time," Thomas said.

"What about you? Like I said before, there will be danger coming soon. Will you stay here? Or should I transport you to a safe location?" I asked.

"Can you do that to me? Honestly, I'm afraid of the cult and I don't want to be here. Just bring me to a safe location. As for the other performers, you can ask them. I'd like them to be safe, but they are special agents first and not circus performers. They are most likely wanted to stay here, but some of them are not gifted in magic. Still, it's their preferences. They are free to do what they want," Thomas said.

And so, I asked all the performers if there's any of them who wants to leave this place and go to a safe place.

Only some of them would go. They were not gifted in magic as they barely reached intermediate level. Some of them are even just beginner level. But they are quite athletic. That's how they joined the circus.

Though they can't be compared with me, an Aura user. Maybe they can be Aura users, but I don't know. Well, I have taught them how I, Victoria, and Sonia became Aura users. Though I don't think they can be Aura users in the future, at least they have tried.

I still haven't given up yet in finding more Aura users to help me fight the cult. Even though the werewolves, the angels, and the vampires are much stronger than if any one of them manifested Aura in the future, if their special ability is great, they might be our strongest assets. Though the chance is really close to zero.

Even I, in the past, can only start using Aura after years of training. Using the experience and the sensation in how to use Aura, in this life, I can be Aura user faster than before. It's difficult to teach others. Though somehow, I did well as air element teacher.

After telling them that they are going to leave after the last day of the circus here, I told them to enjoy their stay as I left after saying goodbye. Though I will be back tomorrow.

It's time to kill some cult members.

It's difficult to find who they are anymore since not many of them have the explosive device in their mouth anymore. Which mean it's likely that there's a lot of expert level mages here. And I also need to worry about the children here. Who knows if any of them are actually artificial master level mage who are waiting for their moment to kill us all?

Fifty of them? At least I hope that half of them have grown up and can't be called children anymore. That way, I won't feel bad for killing them.

I wonder how Victoria and Marie doing? I hope they find a way somehow to stop the children.

I'm now using Divine Vision to check on the inside of people's mouth to see if they have explosive devices or not. If there are any artificial master level mage, or even a real master level mage, they would notice that I'm looking at them. If so, I will quickly leave the capital to fight them. Letting myself be the bait.

I think the artificial master level mages who will come here are stronger than the ones we fought during the previous mission when we're trying to capture the Professor. But I have confidence to delay them as much as possible if killing them proves to be difficult.

But so far, I didn't see anyone reacting to me looking at them. Which is good since I can just take care of assassinating the other cult members.

Victoria is not here, but I can use Blobbies to snipe on the enemies. Though the Blobbybullets will stay since Victoria can't make them disappear because she's too far, I can at least return back to using pebbles. Good thing I still have a lot of sharpened pebbles with me.

I have killed about ten of them. But there are still a lot more. Once they found the corpses, they will think that the murderer could be Sara or me since it's quite well-known thanks to the college tournament that we know how to shoot Air Cannon.

But that's only if the corpses are found.

Since I only killed those who walk alone, I quickly grabbed their bodies and store them somewhere else before I will use portal to transport them all to be fish food.

As I was about to find another target, Sonia appears in front of me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Harold and the others have reached Lenko City. They will invade the city soon," Sonia said.

Hmm? Spot is the one carried them, right? I thought that he could get there much faster.

"They just arrived? Why is Spot so slow?" I asked.

"It's because you're not there. They don't have any security measure to keep themselves on his back. So, Spot only fly with reasonable speed enough to not make them fall. Only Kron there who can use Wind Barrier to protect them all from the force of the wind," Sonia said.

...Oh, right. I forgot about that. It's because they are things that I do.

Whenever we are riding Spot, I would use Victoria or Blobbies to create seats for the others. And then, I would use Air Barrier so the wind force because of Spot's speed won't blow us away and we can still have a conversation there. I forgot about that.

"That's why they will camp in the forest nearby tonight, and will commence the plan to capture Lenko tomorrow," Sonia continued.

"Tell them that if they are in need of help or in danger, they have to contact me as soon as possible," I said before Sonia leaves.

I guess that's all she's here to tell me. Which mean Victoria and Marie haven't found the cure for the brainwashing yet. But at least there's no bad news.

I killed some more cult members, and after I had enough for the night, I used portal to transport them into the sea. Well, not that there's a Blobby on the sea surface. There are some that are in the deep sea, but they are used for attacking. Not transporting. And I can't open a portal to the bottom of the sea in the middle of a city.

But there's a Blobby I put in an empty island, at the wall of a cliff facing the sea. The portal will open there, and the corpses will free fall to the sea.

Just like that, the first day at Consenza ended. Tomorrow, I will find more cult members and kill them.

Maybe I should ask the others to help. Like Sara. She's a better sniper, and it's good for us to practice our marksmanship. I'll ask her tomorrow. For now, it's time to sleep.

...Oh, fuck. I forgot to find an inn to stay.

Let's see... the others are staying at the same inn. Even Celestine who lives in the palace. But at least Lina has her own room alone. I can sleep with her tonight.

...Sleeping while being surrounded by tentacles from an eyeball and from a sunflower seems like something out of horror stories. I should have at least informed Lina and her monsters that I'm coming.

Chapter 486: Into the Sewer

The next day at the capital of Consenza. I stayed here while hunting and assassinating any cult members that I found.

So far, most of the one I killed has explosive devices in their mouth. But that doesn't mean the cult only send weaklings here. I can see some people reacted when I get too close. They are probably expert level mages. As for artificial master level mages, I haven't seen any.

After one day relaxing, the girls left the capital to practice. They have a tournament soon, and they are practicing either by sparring or subjugating monsters. They also take requests mission from the hunter guild.

I keep forgetting that I'm also a hunter and it has been too long since I last took a mission. Maybe I should get one today.

It's the hunter guild. If there are any place in the capital where various people will come, that should be it. It's not suspicious at all to come to the hunter guild if you are a hunter, or if you are requesting the assistance of hunters by submitting requests.

Let's see if there are any interesting mission. I can't just keep killing people during my stay here. People will be suspicious that there are less people in the capital. Though I think there's already some rumors flying around about a murderer. I bet there will be a wanted poster about me. Though no one will know my appearance as I wear Blobbymask during my hunt.

I entered the guild to see Kayla kicking a man in the nut. It's been a while since I last seen that.

.....

Kayla also notices me, but she pretends to not know me as she picked a mission together with Jewel. Jewel also notices me after Kayla told her, and she also pretends that we are strangers.

On the quests board, I see several jobs where I can do. And I found something. It's subjugation of sewer rats. A rat type monsters that usually appears in the sewer under the city. I can see easily where the rats are.

In the posted quest, I just need to defeat thirty of them. Since they are weak, thirty should be easy for most intermediate mages. Even beginner mages should be able to do it if they go in a party.

"...Excuse me, but... you have quite a high rank. Are you sure you want to take this job? It's something that even E-rank hunters can do," the receptionist said after I showed her the quest I'm taking.

What should I reply with? That I'm also looking for any possible hideouts for the cult? The sewer is really big and even goes further from the capital. Even my Divine Vision can't see everything at once.

"I'm the dweller of the dark. Being in a dark place calmed me down," I said.

"...okay. Another weird hunter. Sigh... I thought since he's quite attractive, he's normal," the receptionist said in whisper. But I can hear it.

"Thank you. I am attractive indeed."

"W-wait, you hear that!? Please forget that!"

"No way. I would never forget the time when someone called me attractive. Though I keep forgetting who called me attractive unless they are my lovers. Then, I'll be leaving," I said as I left the guild.

By the way, Jewel and Kayla who were taking another mission, were next to me when I said that. They stared at me with flat gaze. What? I'm attractive, right?

Anyway, it's time to go into the sewer.

As a precaution, the entrance to the sewer is being guarded tightly. No one can enter the sewer at will. It's because it will be dangerous if suspicious person come and go as they please. They can destroy the capital if they used powerful magic under the capital. Oh, it's also a problem if monsters came out of the sewer.

I get the permission to enter after showing the proof that I took the mission to subjugate the sewer rats. Even high-ranking hunters need to get permission to enter.

...it's smelly. Good thing I'm an air mage. I protected myself with Air Barrier to not let the stinky smell stuck on me.

Thirty sewer rats. That's easy. And as proofs of subjugations, I need to cut the tip of their tails. And if possible, I have to destroy the whole corpses, or they will start piling up in the sewer. And the whole capital will be smelly.

Well, it's easy with my portal. Though why are there many rats coming at me at once? Seems like they are afraid of something from far ahead. Maybe I'm right that somewhere further in the sewer, someone dangerous is hiding. Possibly, from the cult.

Well, it's time to take care of them. Using a spear in this tight space is difficult, so I just use Reizpear after I broke it in half. It's just a short spear now.

In this tight place, I'm the best. There's no way anyone can defeat me. Unless they are crazy people who thinks of burying themselves by using powerful magic.

In an instant, I defeated all fifteen incoming rats. I'm halfway to the mission completion. Though that's not my real mission.

The sewer is like a maze. But it's not a problem with me since I have Divine Vision. Even if the place I'm going ended up to be a dead end, with my speed, I can return back to where I came from quickly.

And in no time at all, I have finished my mission to subjugate thirty sewer rats. But I haven't finished exploring the sewer.

"Urgh... if I'm not an air mage, I would never think of this idea. Hey, let's go to the sewer and stay there for hours! Am I an idiot? Sigh... I'm so bored that I started talking on my own... huh?"

After exploring the sewer for hours, and I'm no longer under the capital but somewhere else outside of the capital, I started talking to myself. And that's when I finally noticed that there are more sewer rats coming here. Just like that time when I first entered, they seem to be afraid of something as they are running here. Looks like it's a jackpot.

I killed the rats, and continue deeper. And there, I see that the sewer is well-maintained. It's not as dirty as other part of the sewer. As if some people are staying there.

And when I get deeper again, I finally see traces of people. It's a hidden room.

There's a meal at a table in a hidden room in the sewer. Seems like someone has been hiding here for a long time and built this hidden room.

I entered the hidden room in silence. I see someone is there in what seem to be the kitchen. He doesn't have an explosive device in his mouth, but he might be expert level mage. At least he's not an artificial master level mage.

But there's another hidden door from this hidden room. Behind that hidden door, there's a big room and several ladders attached on the wall leading to the exit. It's as if this place is a secret meeting place.

As expected, the meal is still warm. It means the person in the kitchen has just finished cooking it.

It looks delicious as well. And it really tastes delicious. There's no poison as well since I have eaten it and I feel fine.

Wait, I just finished the meal of a stranger. I'm just the worse kind of guy, aren't I?

Oh? Someone is coming down from the ladder in the big secret room. And this time, the person has an explosive device in his mouth. I guess the owner of this place is related to the cult.

At least I won't feel guilty eating his meal. Let's grab a sewer rat and put it in this room. This way, that man will think that the culprit is the rat. Not me.

Now, what should I do? Raid this place alone, or ask for the others' help.

For now, I will return back to the sewer and see if there will be other cult members coming.

And as expected, the man was furious seeing that his meal is gone. And he killed the rat with an Ice Spike. He's an ice element expert level mage.

Thanks to my training, I can stay within close range of expert level mages without being seen. But if there's any artificial master level mage, I would be found out quickly.

The ladders inside the big secret room led to different location. And the closest one is right above the room. It's leading toward the forest next to the capital. And I can see Shirley is subjugating monsters nearby.

I'll greet her later. There are more people coming to the secret room. Meeting the angry and hungry expert level mage.

None of them are stronger than expert level mage as they don't know that I'm peeking. Seems like they have a secret meeting today. Let's see if I could get closer to them.

I'll use portal to go to where Shirley is, and then use the ladder close to her to go down to the secret room. That way, I should be able to eavesdrop on them.

Chapter 487: The Underground Meeting Room

I opened a portal to see Shirley is freezing a giant mantis with her ice magic. Has her ice magic reached expert level yet?

"Hey, Princess! Have you reached expert level in your ice element as well?" I asked her after entering the portal to her location.

"Yes. I have just reached it recently," Shirley replied.

"That's great! You're amazing!" I said.

As for me, I am just an advanced level in both of my elements. Summoning and air. And with my talent, I don't know if I can reach even further. Though for my summoning element, it's up to my monsters. They need to defeat even stronger enemies.

Well, me too since I used my monster as a weapon. Maybe if I kill a lot of artificial master level mages, I can be expert level in my summoning element. I have eaten my second Pear-y Fruit, and I can make a contract with another monster once I breakthrough to expert level.

Though that seems to be still far away in the future. But for now, the mission is more important.

.....

"What are you doing here?" Shirley asked.

"Under the ground we're walking, it's a sewer connecting to the capital. And there are hidden rooms where the cult members are gathering and discussing something. I want to see if I can eavesdrop on what they are discussing," I said.

"Alone? How many are there?" she asked.

"Alone is fine. I'm not going there to kill anyone. At least not yet. There are fifteen of them. and only five have explosive devices in their mouth. We are not close enough for them to notice us if they have expert level mages. And I don't think there are any artificial master level mages in there," I said.

Shirley then continues fighting the monsters nearby. Most of them are giant mantis. But she still offers her help to me.

"Do you need my help? Or anyone?" Shelia asked.

Hmm... she's all alone. No one else is here. Shirley must be taking a request to defeat the giant mantises in this area alone for her training. I think it's fine for her to help.

But what should she do? Oh, right. Distraction.

"Five minutes after I enter the underground, I want you to go over there, and get wild. Use-low level magic on the surrounding while pretending that you didn't detect the enemies under you. Do that for at least ten minutes. Make sure only low-level magic so you can still have mana in case they come out to fight you," I said.

I pointed at where the closest place to where the meeting room is so Shirley can use her magic there.

"Should I use magic there, or from somewhere else and use magic targeted there?" Shirley asked.

"Either one is fine. Just be careful in case they come out to fight. For now, I don't have a plan to kill them all yet," I said.

"Okay. Five minutes after you enter, right? Where will you enter from?" Shirley asked curiously.

"From here."

I walked to a grassy area. There's a hidden door under the grass. The door is covered by soil, and grass have grown. That way, it won't be suspicious. Unless there's an earth mage coming here. But from the look of it, the door hasn't been opened for so long. Or maybe the cult has killed those who found the door.

"This area has only weak monsters. Which is why there are not many people who would come all the way here. I used the giant mantises to practice my magic. And since this place is quiet, I thought that it's good," Shirley explained why no one seems to have found the entrance.

I guess that makes sense. The giant mantises are not a monster that will give you nice reward. Even though they are stronger than goblins, they are still considered weak. It's because mages would attack them from afar before the mantises could even get close.

I dug my finger on the ground, and grabbed the handle to the door. I opened the door and see a wooden door. And it's locked. Good thing it's not locked with magic tool and just ordinary lock.

I transformed a Blobby into a key, and opened the door.

"Alright. Five minutes from now. I'll see you later," I said to Shirley.

"Be careful, Roy," she said.

"You too."

I closed the door and enter the underground. I have just finished a mission involved with the underground, and now I keep going into the underground again. Am I a mole?

Sigh... Victoria is not here so any jokes I made will not be retorted. I miss her already.

There has been no news from the team at Varadis. But I won't ask since I might end up ruining their concentration.

I walked into the tunnel while covering myself with Aura to not let the expert level mages know that I'm getting closer. My stealth mode has improved so much that they won't be able to notice me until I get right behind them. Though killing fifteen people in stealth mode is impossible. That's why I want to hear their discussion first.

I reached another door toward the meeting room. If I open it, I can go down the ladder and be right at the meeting room. Though I will end up being caught.

At least it's good that there's no soundproofing in the room or the door. I can hear what they are talking inside.

"...She's not coming. Yesterday, she sent a signal that says she will come. But she didn't come at all."

"Hmm... suspicious. But who are we talking about?"

"It's her. That one who married a guard of the Empress."

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Seems like they are talking about the woman I captured and brought to Albert. She's not here. She's all the way in Tatrama and will die soon.

"Why do you think she's trying to come here? Did she have an important message?"

"From the signal, it says that she has a message to say. But it's not important to call for everyone, and I'm the only one who waited for her. But I called you all here because it seems like she has gone missing from the capital."

The one who said that was the guard of this place. The man whose meal I ate and I blame the rat for it.

Seems like they are discussing about what message the girl has, and why was she missing. The answer to both questions is me and me.

"About that, seems like there are several other people who have gone missing like her. They are all just low rank members, but it happened to several people at once. It was as if someone is targeting only us. It's not a random attack."

"That might be right. But we don't know for sure. There's also another person missing. It's the cold-blooded murderer whom I tried to recruit. Seems like he was near those low-rank members when he was missing. It could be that the culprit is targeting him, but our members got caught up. Or maybe that murderer is the culprit and he escaped from the capital already."

It's good that I didn't just kill all cult members. I also asked Claudia to give me wanted posters of criminals so I can kill them. Seems like the one wanted man I killed last night was not a member of the cult. Though I still kill a lot of cult members.

"Right. But we need to be careful as well if the culprit is a bounty hunter. Many of us has bounty on our heads."

Alright. There's no important discussion other than from what I caused. And Shirley has started casting magic above us. she's from far, but her magic is targeted right above the meeting room.

Ten people raised their heads together, while the some from the five who have explosive devices in their mouth are confused. I was right that those ten are expert level mages. But it seems like some with explosive devices are expert level mages as well.

"...No, it's not us. Someone is probably just training their magic. And it's too weak. At best, they are just intermediate level. Let's ignore them. They are not attacking us."

"Right. Let's stay here a little longer until whoever practicing magic leaves. At the moment, they don't know that there's a hidden room underground."

I know though. And I'm right so close to them.

Now, they don't seem to have anything important to discuss. They just waste their time having a small chat with each other. Though the man whose meal I ate is cooking another meal. And someone else is asking him to cook for them. Now, he's cooking for all fifteen people.

They are all in the meeting room with warm meal, while Shirley above us has stopped casting magic. Now, I guess I should capture them all if possible.

They are having a meal. It's the time when people lower their guard the most. I should be able to do it.

And so, I kicked the door open and jumped down into the meeting room. It's time to fight.

"What a nice meal you all have right now!"

...No! No, you idiot! Don't think with your stomach! I should have said something much more threatening instead!

Sigh... it seems that the meal I stole just wasn't enough. Well, let's fight anyway.
