Chapter 518: Gecko's Fire Breath

I lie down on top of Spot's head while he's looking for his next target. Seems like for him, looking for an angel to heal me is just secondary. Well, that mean I have more time to rest.

There are several vampires who are in trouble fighting just one mohawk. He's an ice mage. And he alone can fight against several vampires at once.

Although the vampires are doing well, they lost a lot of blood. They need to consume some more blood if they need to win. But now that Spot is free, he can help them.

Just by swinging Spot's tail and use it as a whip, Spot can break the mohawk's Ice Shield and injure him badly. As for the rest, the vampires can defeat him.

Though they didn't drunk his blood since it seems that artificial master level mage's blood is disgusting for them.

"Go back to the fake village and help the human army against the expert level mages. You can then drink their blood, and if you have drunk enough, you can go back to fight artificial master level mages," I said.

They were shocked to suddenly hear a voice coming from Spot's head. They thought it was Spot who spoke. But once they flew above Spot and see me with my injuries lying on top of his head, they quickly returned back to the fake village to help the army temporarily.

.....

"You need to get healed fast."

One of the vampires said that before she returns to the fake village.

"...I agree with her. When will you bring me to the angels? Any angel will do," I asked Spot.

"Helping those who are in trouble is more important. At least, you didn't see anyone who really need your help, right? Because if you do, you would have told me about it. For now, I will keep going like this until we finally see an angel. It's not like you're dying anyway, " Spot said.

"Fine. The only thing I can do now is just looking anyway. I'll leave it to you to make the decision," I said.

Well, I can still move actually. But in case anything happen, the injuries could get worse. That's not something anyone want.

Everyone here already know that it's not Albert, old man Henry, or even Lynn who is the leader in this war. But it's me. That's why if they see me got badly injured, it will only lower the morale of everyone. That's something that we need to avoid at all cost.

It took Spot an hour until he brings me to an angel. And during that time, he defeated six more artificial master level mages. They might have been tired after fighting the monsters, but Spot still helped a lot.

As we get closer to the angel, I stopped using Aura on my body that let me get stuck on his head, and I was sliding down on Spot's back, all the way to his tail. And when I reached his tail, he swung it toward the angel's direction.

That was fun sliding down Spot's back. I want to do it again.

"Heal me!"

While I was midair, I shouted to the angel. The angel then quickly slew by my side as she casted healing. It's a weird situation where I was flung to the sky, and an angel is healing me.

And right before I started falling, my body is healed. Thanks to Kayla's teaching, most of the angels' healing magic is much more effective. And I quickly run in the air toward the opposite direction of where Spot is flying.

This time, I will help the others.

Although we're doing well, we already have several casualties. Though after that time I killed ten artificial master level mages, and let Spot killed thirteen of them, fewer people died. Those who were fighting the thirteen mohawks knew about our plan to let Spot taking care of those I baited. They quickly went to help the army once I baited the mohawks they fought. That's why there were no more casualties after that.

Now that I'm healed, it's time to get rid of the rest of the mohawks first.

There are still around fifteen of them. It should be easy since they are not moving in a group. They are all separated thanks to the monsters.

And although Gecko and the other monsters I saved were only helping us today, they understood what they need to do. Maybe the experiment helped them to be smarter.

And they are stronger than most werewolves individually. That really helped us reducing the casualties.

But they shouldn't be able to keep their cool at all times. Although they shouldn't hate us, most of us are from the human race. The race that experimenting on them. That's why I need to go toward them so they will start to think that not all humans are evil. Some humans are willing to help them. It's also something that I discussed with Albert when I brought him to meet Gecko and the others.

That's why I rushed toward them as fast as possible. Though in the way toward them, I also helped the other defeated the artificial master level mages they fought.

Gecko and the various modified monsters, are fighting two mohawks. And now that the mohawks are within my range, I won't kill them. I need them to get killed by the modified monsters so they know that I'm helping them in their revenge.

I shot the two mohawks with normal bullets that Sara made instead of the special bullets. This way, they won't die too quickly.

And then, Gecko used Fire Breath to kill one of the mohawks. I guess he's really related to a dragon.

"Taste this attack that you people created for me!" Gecko shouted after killing the mohawk with his fire breath.

...I was wrong. That was not because of his race. But that's because of the cult.

I'm still doubtful if he's really related to a dragon or not. Maybe just like the angels? People relate them to Gods, but angels are their own monsters. And dragonic race is similar to that. They call themselves dragonic race, but other than the similar lizard features, they don't have any other similarities. Why are they calling themselves dragonic race then?

As for the other mohawk they faced, the two modified vampires killed him. I guess it's over in this side.

Now that I've seen it, I can say that if there are any ranks among the modified monsters, Gecko would stand on the top. As for the second and third, they belong to the vampires.

"Hey, Gecko. As you know, I'm a summoner. And one of my summoned monster is a powerful werewolf who loves fighting. Once she sees you, she will probably ask for a duel. I want you to fight her without killing each other so you two can get stronger together", I said.

"That's fine. I also think that I need to get stronger so I can defeat them all," Gecko said.

"You mean you're going to continue helping us until the cult is gone?" I asked.

"Right. With your permission, I'd like to let me live in the monsters village you told me about, and let me help you in your mission," Gecko said.

It's not just Gecko. Many all the modified monsters whom I thought only wanted to participate in today's battle, also thinking of helping us. This is good. Though I need to get Albert to ask them first if they really speak the truth that they wanted to help us or not.

"Well, I'm happy that you wanted to help. But I will need to get you all meet Albert again soon. Probably tonight. Until then, please help us through this battle first. We still have a lot of enemies to kill," I said.

"I understand. We still not able to trust any humans other than you yet, so we will go help the monsters. Is that okay?" Gecko asked.

"That will be great. Then, you can go over there, and I will help the humans. Once you're done, you can take a rest until everything here is done," I said.

With their help, I don't need to go and kill the mohawks myself. And the number of the mohawks have reduced significantly. From more than fifty of them, to just ten of them now.

With our numbers, I don't need to help killing the mohawks anymore. And a lot of angels have returned to their duty of healing instead of fighting like the start of today's battle.

And so, I focused on fighting the expert level mages while looking around with Divine Vision too see if there will be more enemies coming, or if there are any who are thinking of escaping.

Of course since the difficulty of the battle has reduced by a lot, I just need to focus on those who are retreating instead.

And I didn't let anyone escape at all. Though I let many of them lives as the vampire's supply of blood. That's how they will be useful for us.

Chapter 519: The Archbishop Knows the Existence of Aura User

Finally, all of the enemies have been defeated. And no one escaped. We also captured many expert level mages to interrogate. Of course once we have no more question for them, we let them live just so the vampires have more blood to drink. After all, from the vampires's experience, expert level mages's blood is second only to me.

What about master level mages's blood? Maybe they will taste better than my blood.

Anyway, we managed to not let anyone escape. That means the leader of the cult, the Evil God, still won't know the fact that I'm an Aura user yet. But I don't think we can keep the secret for a long time.

Luckily, we managed to capture two expert level mages who tried to escape. And now that the battle is over and we have some time to rest, I'd like to ask one of them why they were trying to retreat when the others didn't even though they shouldn't be afraid of death. Though I don't know if I can get any satisfying answer or not.

"Hey, let me talk with that one privately. I have something to ask her," I said to the vampire in charge of guarding the prisoners.

We have built several prison cages thanks to the earth mages. And since we put Magic Restricting Collar on them, we don't need to worry about anyone escaping.

"Understood. I'll get someone to let her go," the vampire replied.

.....

She will get an earth mage to let go of the one I asked and then the earth mage will lock the cage again. The only way for them to escape is if they are at least as strong as I am without using Aura. And since none of them were experimental subjects, none of them had the strength for to escape. And we only feed them the bare minimum to not let them die. They should be hungry and thirsty.

They might not be afraid of death, but dying from hunger or thirst is something that they would never imagine. And we thought that asking them when they are hungry will make them easier to speak.

Though right now, the female expert level mage that I let out to ask, is still not hungry. Though she's tired and injured since I slashed Reizpear at her legs. She couldn't stand on her own, so after the earth mage on our side opened the cage, I entered it. Obviously some of them attacked me. But there's no way any untrained people would be able to hurt me. Of course if they are targeting my nether region, I will block it.

This game will keep you awake all night long.Panzer.Quest strategy game

I reached the woman who tried to retreat during the battle, while ignoring, blocking, or dodging the untrained people's attack. She was sitting down on the ground since she couldn't stand. I didn't let her to be healed, so the wounds on her legs are still open. I told her when I captured her that if she stands, she will lose her blood faster. And seeing how she's sitting down, I can tell that she's afraid of pain.

As for the other retreating expert level mage that was captured, he seems to not care about the pain. That's why I picked this woman to be interrogated. I thought that her mouth should be looser since she was afraid of dying slowly.

I grabbed the woman who keeps protesting, while the other prisoners are trying to fight me. Though it was easy for me to leave the prison cell, and get the earth mage to rebuild the prison.

Anyway, during emergency when the vampires needed some blood, they are allowed to destroy the prison cell and drink some blood. As for the prisoners who tried to escape, we have some people who will stay behind to protect our supplies and watch the prisoners. The vampires will only watch the prisoners outside the battle. And if they are doing exceptional during the battle, they are allowed to get one expert level mage's worth of blood. That's why letting them watch the prisoners is also a way to motivate the vampires.

I carried the woman deep into the forest. Even though what I'm going to ask her is not so secretive, especially since everyone on our side already know that I'm an Aura user, I still brought her far from where the others are. It's also to make her think that I don't want my own allies to hear this. She will most likely answer my questions if I asked her far from the others. Especially if I told her that I will get her legs healed.

"Alright. I have some questions for you. If you answer my questions truthfully, I'm considering of healimg your legs. And if I find your answers to be lies, I will add more injuries instead. Do you understand?" I spoke while also giving her pressure by intimidating her. The level of my intimidation is so much lower than Andro's intimidation, but if it's on a one on one situation, it's pretty useful.

"...Will you really heal my legs?" the woman asked.

"Only if you answer with the truth. From what I saw back then, you know a little about myself. And that's why you decided to retreat. And I need you to know that I have ways to find out if you're lying or not," I said.

Of course it's not as effective as Albert's lie detection. But seeing her heartbeat should be enough. At least if she's not used in lying.

"So... You're really an Aura user? It's real? Not just stories for children?" the woman asked.

"Just so you know, I'm the one asking you questions and you will answer. What were you going to do after you retreat? For most expert level mages in the cult, they should not have been afraid of battle. What was the cult planning?" I asked.

Back when I captured her, she was far from where I fought the ten artificial master level mages. That's why she was late in retreating. Though if she retreated early, she would have been died. Killed by Sunny.

She only saw me fighting late in the battle. And it was when I killed one mohawk close to her. That's why I can chase after her. As for the other person who tried to retreat as well, the case was similar.

"...Those who tried to retreat, even though we were ready to die, including me as well, was because we remember something that the Archbishop told us. Though I think not all of us remember. We were told about the existence of Aura users. Many of us thought that it's just a myth and the Archbishop was being too paranoid. Though when I saw you, I suddenly remember what he told us back then. We were told to report it no matter what. Even if it's in the middle of a battle. We were told to retreat and ignore everything. I never thought that Aura user is much stronger than what's written in stories," the woman explained.

So, once they see Aura user, they were ordered to inform the Archbishop. They don't know why, but they were ordered to do so. I guess I'm still safe since I didn't see anyone escaping.

"I have answered your question. Can you heal me now?"

"Tell me about the Archbishop and your leader. Are they different person, or are they the same person?"

Since it seems like she didn't lie, I asked more questions. For her to be told about Aura user, while Celestine and Veronica weren't told at all even though they were supposed to be leaders of two factions in the cult, means that she is at least have higher position than the two, or the Arcbishop trust her more than the two girls.

"They are different! Arcbishop is just a human like us! While the leader is our God! He's the True God who is our saviour and will help us rebuild the world to become a better place once we destroy it! Don't mistake them to be the same person!" the woman shouted as if she was angry.

I guess my question seemed to be something to test her faith. That's why she doesn't like it. Well, I don't care about that. But it seems like she knows about the one she calls the True God better than Celestine and Veronica.

"Then, tell me about them," I said.

"Nothing. I know nothing about them except that the Archbishop is a human, and the True God is not," the woman said.

That's a lie. Her heartbeat was different from before. She must have known something else.

"Argh! Why did you stab my hand!?" the woman screamed after I pierced Reizpear on her hand.

"I said it before that if I find you're lying, I will add more injuries. Tell me the truth."

"I spoke the truth! I know nothing!"

I guess I won't be able to hear more from her. So, I cut off her tongue . I don't want her to say something to the other prisoners.

The only thing I learned is that the Archbishop knows about Aura user. Maybe I can get some other prisoners to tell me about him. Let's pick a random person next time and ask them about the Archbishop or their god.

Chapter 520: How the First Match of the Tournament Ended

I think I did a cruel thing to let someone live after cutting her tongue. So, I grabbed the two modified vampires and told them that they can drink her blood dry.

"Okay, that's enough. She no longer has even a drop of blood left in her body. Thank you for your hard work," I said to the two vampires.

Both of them are males, and although they are just Vampire Lords, they are strong enough to be at the level of Vampire Marquises. It's all thanks to the experiment.

If they could level up to the Vampire Duke level, it's possible that they might be as strong as Arin in the future. Though what I'm worried about is that if they get to enjoy their strength long after they were freed from the cult, they might run wild. Not just these two vampires, but also many other modified monsters as well. Including Gecko.

I need to think of a way to get rid of them.

"Hmm... this is delicious! But it doesn't taste as good as the blood we drunk in the cave yesterday," one of the vampires said.

"What you drank yesterday was my blood. And I will never give them to anyone other than for special events or emergency. If you think of killing me and forcefully drink my blood, I will kill you without mercy. It's something that the other vampires have understood. You need to achieve something great if you want to drink my blood. I'll tell you this, even the Vampire Queen rarely get a sip of my blood. So, don't even think of drinking my blood unless you have achieved something great. You already know my strength, but if you somehow managed to kill me, you will never be able to have a peaceful life. Everyone here is following me," I said to the vampires who looked at me with the desire to get my blood.

.....

After I threatened them, they quieted down.

"Umm... if we're done here, I will return. Thank you for letting us drink her blood," one of the vampires said as he grabbed the other and left the area we're in.

As expected, getting monsters to follow us is difficult. Maybe I should let Arin charm all the male monsters so they won't think of betraying us. I'll ask her later.

Now, the only thing we can do is to rest and wait for the next wave of the enemies. We didn't have enough manpower to send scouts to find the enemy's base.

The goal to destroy the cult is still far from reach. Just how good are they in hiding? They are the world's greatest champion in hide n seek.

I'm also feeling fatigued. I think I need some rest as well. I'll ask Elsie to keep watch.

Wait, what!? Just as I found Elsie in the corner of my eyes, she disappeared! Along with Sunny!

The only reason for that os because Lina is summoning them. Just what happened in the capital that needed her to summon the two of them?

I'll just wait for now. Sonia will surely appear soon, and I can ask her what happened. For now, I'll leave it to the werewolves to keep watch. With their sense of smell, they should be able to sense it by the smell if someone is approaching.

I look for Shelia to give her the order, but it seems like I don't need to do it as she's already wary of it.

"Shelia, I want you and the werewolves to keep watch of the surrounding area. Seems like something happened in the capital and Lina is summoning her two monsters," I said to Shelia.

"No problem. We have been keeping watch whether that eyeball is watching or not," Shelia said.

"Good. Also, don't think too much about Graham's strength. You are not weaker than him. He's just more resourceful. He has his magic. I guess the biggest difference between you two is how Graham is more technical while you're fighting with your instinct," I said to Shelia.

"...Does it mean I need to learn more about fighting techniques to be able to surpass him?" Shelia asked.

"Hmm... I think you should do what you think will make you stronger. Although different, you're similar to Angela. You need to find your own way to get stronger. If you think it's a good idea to learn fighting techniques, then go and learn some. If you think brute force is the answer, all you need is to gain more strength. That's all I can tell you. Though if you want to spar, I will help you. But not now," I said.

"...That's right! We're werewolves! We love battle and will keep on fighting even if the enemy is stronger! We move with our instinct! Thank you for reminding me about it. I will keep growing stronger and make you proud of me!"

And just like that, she disappears somewhere to train. I'd like to remind her that she shouldn't get herself exhausted while we're at war though.

I have three contracted monsters. The first is too weird as she came from another world. The second is a muscle brain. And the third one is an avenger. If I could reach another level in my summoning element, I doubt the next monster I will have will be anything normal.

Just as I was thinking of that, Sonia appears as expected.

"Roy, Albert has something to inform," Sonia said.

"Before that, just tell me if everything is okay over there. I just saw Sunny and Elsie got summoned."

"Everything is fine. Albert just asked Lina if she could get Elsie to watch the surrounding. He asked me to check on Elsie before, but you had a big battle here, right? And when I return here again the second time and see everything is fine, I went back and told Lina to summon Elsie and Sunny. It's just a checkup on the surrounding. You can get them back here later after they're done over there."

"I don't think there will be another battle today, so they can rest with Lina if they want to. Anyway, tell me the situation over there."

Sonia then told me the situation.

The opening ceremony ended well. Everyone was excited with how things are going. And the first battle was a team battle, between Tatrama and Varadis.

With Kayla as the leader, it was an easy victory for Tatrama. Angela didn't participate since they thought it would be best to save her for individual battle after the team battle is over.

They easily defeated the team from Varadis which was led by an expert level mage under Julia's teaching. It's obvious since we have more expert level mages than Varadis. Though Shelia said that there are two more expert level mages other than Julia from Varadis who will participate in the individual battle.

The expert level mage from Varadis whonlost today, won't participate in the individual battle. So, I can bring him along with some of his teammate to come here.

It's just one expert level mage, but it's much better than when we had none.

"That's good. Tell them to rest for tonight and I will bring them here tomorrow. They already have a Blobby with them, right?" I asked.

"Yes. Henry gave them after they lost," Sonia replied.

"How's the reaction of the fake king?" I asked

"Albert told me that he's faking his excitement. He's acting like the real Harold who loves exciting stuffs, but Albert can tell that it was a lie." Sonia replied.

"Is that so? Anyway, anything else?"

Sonia told me the schedule for the tournament. For today and tomorrow, it will be the team battle. Which mean, tomorrow will be the team from Consenza, against the team from Arturo. And if the team from Consenza loses tomorrow, I might be able to get one more expert level mage.

After a day of rest, the day after that will be the final of the team battle. But the tournament is not over yet.

The day after the crowning of the strongest in team battle, there will be individual battle. And unlike the tournament in Melk, everyone have to fight. It will be set like a real tournament, and the participant won't be representing the country they were from. But instead, they will represent themselves.

It means that it's possible for Angela to fight Kayla in this individual battle. It was set to be this way so there's a possibility of participants from Arturo to fight among themselves.

In one day, there will only be two battle at most. There won't be more. Though if they can arrange for another tournament in the future, they won't make it so boring like this.

"...In any case, I won't be able to go there myself to cheer for the girls. Well, I have prepared that it will happen."

I'm not interested in watching the tournament. I just want to cheer for the people I know. Well, if we win the war, we can get another tournament in the future.

Chapter 521: The Final Match Has Been Decided.

"The girls are asking you if you are doing well or not. I have reported everything to them, but it's something they want to ask you personally. How will you answer them?"

After informing me about the first day of the tournament, Sonia asked me how I'm doing. And it's not about if we managed to stop the cult or not, or the situation over here. But they are asking if I'm fine.

Once again, I moved to tears from how considerate they are. I truly feel loved in this life.

"Tell them I'm doing fine. Tired, but fine. And I will rest for the rest of the day until the next enemy wave appears. Which is probably tommorow at the soonest. Tell them all to do their best in the tournament. I feel better if I know that they are doing their best over there as well," I said to the ghost.

With how many of them suddenly appear at once today, I don't think they will come again today. And probably, they will come tomorrow.

And we still don't know where they came from. Just how prepared are they that no one knows where their main base is?

Until this morning, before the enemy came, we have been sending scouts to find where they came from. But we haven't found any clue at all.

.....

I also returned to where we were originally supposed to go on the first day in case the cult planned to have another army to actually go the way we predicted from the start. But the result is thata there were no one coming at all! Even after having someone to camp over there to wait, there were no report of them coming from there!

Does it mean that they have the confident to just attack the capital of Consenza from just one direction? From this fake village?

If so, they must be really stupid. Or maybe, they never expected of this outcome at all. They thought that they will only start fighting after reaching the capital.

I guess I will start asking some of the experienced soldiers if there's a chance of them attacking another location.

"What are you thinking about?"

Scientists First Thought They Were StatuesInvesting Magazine

I suddenly brouht back to reality when Sonia spoke. I guess I was too deep in my thought. Well, there are no enemies at the momenr, so it should be fine.

"I was just thinking if the cult will only attack from here or not. Wait, the armies here is not everyone, right?" I asked.

"You only asked that now? And did you not remember what the plan is?" the ghost had a shocked expression as she asked me that question.

"I only care about the plan that involve me. I know that I needed to bring two armies here, but that's not everyone, right?" I repeated the question.

Sonia then sighed seeing me confused.

"Sigh... But I guess that's how you really are. Of course not everyone is here. If the two countries whose army is here, Tatrama and Varadis, only have this amount of personnel, the two countries would have fallen a long time ago. Did you never thought of that?"

Oh, I'm being scolded by a ghost. Though she's right.

I also didn't see Hill and Oleg. Although a guard and a soldier is different, where a guard is just for the defense of a city and have more freedom than soldier, during emergencies where a huge battle like this happened, they can be considered as soldiers as well. And they are not here. That means Albert is sending them somewhere else to keep watch.

The biggest different between a soldier and a city guard is that city guards are more likely to deal with people related issues. Like crimes. But soldiers will be sent out once in a while outside of the cities they are protecting to subjugate the monsters and bandits nearby. Even if there are hunters helping, they will need to do that often. For the guards, going outside is optional. It depends mostly on their leader, or the city they are in.

That's why soldiers usually have more experience in fighting than the guards. At least that's what I heard a long time ago.

"As far as we know, the cult hasn't attacked from another location. The only place we know that they are attacking is here. Another place should be the capital itself. There must be many cult members already there by now. And they are waiting for the reinforcement before they can attack the capital. Though so far, you have defeated all the reinforcements coming. Do you have other questions? If not, I'll return back to Albert now. I'm also busy going all over the country, you know?"

Oh, right. If there are other armies, that mean Sonia as the only one who can teleport will be the busiest.

"I think I'm done for now. I'll ask the soldiers here instead. Tell those who lost the tournament today and willing come that I will bring them here once I see the incoming enemies. If the enemy won't come tomorrow, I might bring them the day after along with the team battle participants from Consenza if they lost. They will be fighting the team from Arturo, right? Thouh if they could win, that will be for the best," I said to Sonia before she disappears.

The team from Arturo... If they only bring expert level mages to participate the tournament, the only one who can stop them is Kayla's team.

Seems like for the very first tournament, both the winner of the team battle and the individual battle will be won by Tatrama kingdom. And Angela will be dubbed as the strongest mage in the whole continent.

Well, that's great, but the enemy has real master level mages. I don't know how many of them, or if it's just the Archbishop, but I don't think Angela or any of the girls would love to be called as the strongest when they know that there are some people who are stronger than them.

One of them is me of course!

After Sonia left, I talked to several high ranked soldiers about the other locations. And just as Sonia told me, they are split into several groups. Though they said that it was Albert and old man Henry who send the strongest army here.

...Maybe it was their own ego that make them said they are the strongest army. Well, I don't care if they are the strongest or not. They have proven themselves to be able to handle many expert level mages without the help of the monsters or any expert level mages.

The soldiers also racking their brains during their free time to think of where the Arcbishop and the Evil god are kost likely hiding. I guess I underestimating them too much, while also overestimating my value in this war. They are doing so well that I started to think that even if I'm not here, they would still success.

Probably not, but they exceeded my expectation.

While I'm just here calling myself as the leader.

They probably didn't even think that I'm their leader. But they do think that I'm an important key player in this war. And their morale will still go up or down depend on how I'm doing.

The cult never come after that. Today is the second day of the tournament, but the enemy still not here. Where is their main force? The one with children as experimental subjects and became artificial master level mages stronger than normal mohawks? And will there be more modified monsters coming?

While I was thinking, Sonia suddenly appears in front of me.

"What's new? " I asked.

"...for the second team battle, all team members from Consenza were defeated by just one of the enemies. With just a powerful AoE magic from their lightning mage, he alone defeated everyone. Not even the expert level mage from Consenza can protect himself from that attack," Sonia reported.

I guess that's to be expected. Although there were no mohawks in the participants from Arturo, each one of them should be stronger than any average expert level mage.

There's no way that the cult would send their weakest mages for the tournament. Though we were lucky enough that they didn't bring any mohawk with them, their participants are strong enough to handle a whole team singlehandedly.

When I asked if they can be sent here, Sonia said that they were injured very badly. They are being healed, but the soonest they can come here to help would be tomorrow.

"I see. Tell them that if there are no enemies coming today, they can come here along with the team from Varadis tomorrow. Also, tell Kayla and the other to be careful. The final for the team battle is the day after tomorrow, right? Tell Lina that Elsie can stay there a little longer to check on the opponent if they wear magical equipments to improve their magic or not," I said.

To think that they will send a really powerful expert level mage for the tournament, and badly injured the opponents. As expected, they are thinking of dwindling our strength by injuring the participants. Before the main force arrives.

Well, they will face Kayla in the final. There's no way that Kayla and the others will go down without a fight.

Chapter 522: Negative Thoughts

"Are you really won't watch Kayla and the others fight?" Sonia asked me who was just thinking of the tournament.

"No. Even if I go there, I won't be able to relax knowing that the cult is coming to attack us. Even if there are no enemy coming today, I can't come to watch the tournament. I'll be too tense to watch the fight and my mind will fly away to this place instead. And if the girls see me that way, it would break their concentration instead. It's best for me to stay here until the tournament is over," I replied to Sonia why I can't and shouldn't stay to watch the tournament.

And now that we're at war with the cult, but the enemy is not here after we defeated the previous wave, my mind is wandering everywhere.

Why do we have to fight them here?

Why did I think that we can destroy the cult this way?

Why did I think that it's a good idea to not let our strongest mages fight and planned for a tournament?

How did I came up with the idea?

.....

And why did the four kings thought that my idea is good?

Well, they do alter my ideas so the chance of us winning is high. But most things we planned came from me.

Did I actually thought that I know everything when I barely know something and I even have terrible memory?

I was just an ordinary man, who ended up becoming a doctor in the countryside, and somehow managed to gain a little bit of Aura and ended up being overconfident and died. I'm nothing special.

I just gained a half-assed ability of Aura and died stupidly. Other than that, I have the weirdest contracted monster ever. I guess that's how it started. From Blobby.

If it was another summoner who made a contract with Blobby, and he or she is a powerful mage, with good memory and heavily involved in the war during the previous life, that person would be a better help than me. And maybe, the cult would have been destroyed even earlier.

But me? I'm just someone who met the conditions.

I learned very little about Aura. And I made a contract with Blobby. That's how I ended up being chosen to go back in time.

If I didn't learned Aura, I won't be chosen to go back to the past.

If I didn't made a contract with Blobby, there won't be such thing as returning to the past.

Maybe someone else will learn Aura and make a contract with Blobby. But it didn't happen.

Those ifs never happen. There are only facts.

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

Fact is, I learned Aura.

Fact is, I made a contract with Blobby.

Fact is, I'm the one who got returned to the past.

Fact is... I'm extremely frightened!

Fact is, I'm started to think negative thoughts!

Fuck it! I'll use calming gas on myself for now. I need to be calm to assess the situation right now, and not thinking of the what ifs.

Many people believed me in this life. Many people are risking their lives for me. Many people are waiting for me to return home safely.

What have I been doing all this time? Training.

I have trained for much longer and harder than in my previous life. I'm much stronger than I was in the past. And I am the only one who can change the future with my involvement.

What if I ended up losing...

Oh, no! I started thinking negatively again! Breathe in the calming gas. Breathe in the calming gas.

"...What are you doing?"

Sonia who had been there from the start since she gave me the report, hasnt left at all. Usually, she would have disappears somewhere else. I guess that mean there's no information that urgently needed for Sonia to relay.

"Nothing. There's nothing to do, so my mind started wandering. And I ended up having negative thoughts, so I used calming gas on myself," I replied truthfully.

"That's what happens when you have nothing to do and you are on your own for too long. Go find someone to talk with," Sonia said.

"You're right. So... you had children, right?"

And that was my stupid attempt to start a conversation with the ghost.

"...yes. And you already know how the story goes. Also, don't choose me as your conversation partner since I might not be here the whole time. Find someone else. Though I will be here for a while since I'm free," Sonia said.

Oh, right. If I talked with her the whole time, when she needed to do something and being summoned far away, I will be lonely again. I need to find someone else here to talk to.

Sigh... and I missed Victoria's presence again. She has wide area of topic to talk about. And it's fun hearing something that doesn't exist in this world from her.

Also, I must not let my mind wander too far from this battle. I need to think of what to do even when we're just waiting.

"Then, Sonia. I have something for you to do when you're free. I want you and Arin to use your charm magic to seduce the male prisoners and get them to tell us everything they know about the cult, and everything related to it. You can still use charm magic, right? And tell Arin that I'll give her a bag of my blood if she finds important information," I said.

Instead of making a conversation, I ended up giving an order. Well, it should be fine. And we might receive more information than what we have already knew.

"You're giving an order now? Sigh... fine. Though it has been so long since I tried to use charm magic on someone, I should still be able to do it," Sonia said.

"Good! I expected a lot from the past Reverse Harem Queen!" I said.

"...Said the Harem King."

"No, no. The Harem King is Harold. He has more wives than I have lovers."

"But Harold might end up losing most of them other than Carmen. As for you, your harem might still be increasing," Sonia said.

Really? I will get more harem members? I don't know about that.

Though about what she said about Harold might be the truth. I heard that yesterday, Harold has recaptured the capital of Arturo completely. And because many people didn't believe that he was swapped, they made a decision to make Fabio the king right away.

When we meet again, he will be King Fabio. And his hardworking brother, the one who stayed in the capital of Arturo despite the danger, will be rewarded highly.

Fabio right now is hunting down all the aristocratic family in Arturo who have fallen completely to the cult.

As for Harold's wives, Harold is considering what punishment will suit them. After all, some of their children also helped Fabio rise to the crown. So, they might not be punished harshly.

Maybe some whose children have fallen to the cult will be divorced by him. As for the others, even if they have fallen, since their children are very helpful, it might just end with house arrest.

I hope Fabio is done with cleaning up the kingdom quickly so he can help us.

So far, the fake king is still doesn't know that the real king has returned. What will be his fate then?

Those in the capital of Consenza must be racking their brains. After all, it's not just the fake king, his retainers, and the participants of the tournament came from Arturo. Some civilians and hunters are there as well. And we don't know if they are from the cult or not.

Sigh... we know that the cult is the enemy, but we don't know if someone is from the cult or not. I actually wished that all of them have something that will tell us that they are from the cult. Like the explosive devices in their mouth.

Unfortunately, only weaker members of the cult have them in their mouth. The strong ones don't need to have them. And even if all of them have the explosive devices in their mouth, only Elsie and I can tell.

Just keep thinking about it will do is no good. I'll just find someone to interact with during this free time.

The werewolves and the angels are no good. They think of me as their king or master.

The vampires? Should I talk with them about women's fashion?

I'll just talk to the people in the army. Maybe I could find another air mage or summoner. I already know that there's someone with a mole as their contracted monster. Maybe we have another powerful monster?

Instead of giving the order to gather all the summoners, I talked to the soldier one by one and ask them if they knew any summoners in the army. Turns out, we actually have a few more summoners. And they haven't summoned their monsters because their monsters are not strong enough to fight expert level mages, and they will be burdens instead. But just like the mole, each has their own use outside battle.

Well, as long as they know what to do with their monster, it should be fine.

Just like that, the day is over with me getting to know the summoners. Tomorrow, if the enemy doesn't come as well, I'll talk to the air mages.

Chapter 523: Arin's Charm Magic

The next day, it should be the day when the tournament is on a break before the final match between Tatrama and Arturo. Though I don't think the cult will do anything today. Even if they do, the ones being sent to the capital should just be the scout. Though they may still gather everyone first in this fake village.

Anyway, after talking with the general of the two armies, as well as asking for an advices from Albert and old man Henry, the cult will most likely go all out right during the final of the individual battle. That's when most people will gather at the capital. And many people would even camp outside the arena just to hear the result even if the tournament is being aired in most big cities in the continent.

Even Fabio is watching it live in Arturo. And I can only hear the result. Just how big is the difference between a king of a country and a king of a race?

Well, of course the difference is big! I'm the werewolf king, but I can't be considered as a king in this continent.

Also , I'm too busy!

Oh, I see some people. Though they don't have mohawk as thei hairstyle. Are they scouts instead of reinforcement from the cult? That's probably the correct answer.

If they are scouts, that mean if they don't return to where they came from, the cult will realize something is wrong in the location they are going to. This fake village.

.....

...isn't it too late? I thought that they should at least realise it earlier. Well, I guess I'll just kill them. It's only three men. Killing them all on an instant should be easy...

Wait! I just remembered what I asked Sonia and Arin last night!

After I asked them to seduce the male prisoners, they succeeded and the charmed prisoners told the vampire and the ghost everything they know. Though we already know what they informed us about, it's good since they wouldn't speak a word before being charmed. Thah means Sonia and Arin's charm magic is working.

And now, we have three men approaching us. Although Sonia isn't here at the moment, Arin is here. She can charm those three to do what she wants.

I found Arin holding a bag of my blood as if it's the most precious thing in the world. While drooling.

It seems like she's holding back her desire to drink it and wanted to save it for later. She's the kind that like to savor her favorite drink in a special way.

Like back then when I gave her a few drop of my blood. She would pour it on a wine glass, sitting on a rooftop and watched the moon while drinking my blood. Even though it was just a few drop.

Seeing how she can hold herself back from drinking the blood, I know how good her self-control is. Though that is not important right now.

"Arin, can I ask you something? If you can do what I asked you to do, I'll give you a few more drop of my blood," I said.

"Really?"

"It won't be much though. I'll just stab the tip of my finger with a needle and let out a few drop of blood. Will you do it?" I asked,

"...What do you want me to do?" Arin asked.

"I see three men coming. I'd like you to charm them and ask them what their intention is in coming here. I can just kill them, but I want to see if letting them live is a better thing to do or not. Will you do it?"

"Sure. That's easy. I'll go alone and greet them by myself. You can just watch from here. They're just expert level mages, right?" Arin asked.

"Yes, I think so. You're going to ask them yourself? Then, if they don't belong to the cult, there's no need to kill or capture them. Though the chance for them to not belong to the cult is slim. You can go now. They are in the northeast direction from here. Over there. Just go straight and you will meet them."

I pointed my finger toward northeast where the three men are coming. None of them have explosive devices in their mouth. So, unless they are civilians or bandits, they are expert level mages from the cult. Though if they are scouts, why is the cult didn't send wind mages who can fly? It would be faster that way, right?

Well, no one can tell what the cult is thinking. They might actually be stupider than everyone thought. Or maybe they are smarter than we thought.

Arin left on her own toward the three men while hiding her presence. If they are expert level mages, they will recognize Arin's presence soon when she entered her range. I will see their reaction from here.

Just as I expected, they detected Arin's presence when she is within their range. They are expert level mages.

Even if Arin's charm is not working, Arin alone is strong enough to kill them in case they fight. Though I doubt she will fight them. She's doing it just for a few drop of blood.

Arin talked to them. I can't hear what they are talking about, but from what I can tell, her charm magic is working.

Oh, wait! Isn't it working too well? Two of the three men have fallen too hard for her and are trying to assault her.

How did that happen? Well, the other man seem to can still control himself to not assault Arin, so he's protecting her. Though Arin doesn't need protection.

I forgot about charm magic. It's similar to brainwashing, but charm magic can only make the target to fall for the caster. Which mean for those two who were attempting to rape Arin, they have fallen for her completely. But their mind still work to some extent. And as expert level mages, they must be thinking that they are strong enough to get what they want.

Unfortunately for them, Arin is too strong. And the other man is too gentlemanly. Though that gentleman felt afraid after seeing how powerful Arin is, he still can't look away from her.

And now, Arin is interrogating them. My lip-reading skill is still bad, but I think I can tell what she said.

It should be something like how she prefers honest men and want them to answer everything truthfully.

A few minutes later, their conversation is over. And Arin led the three men into the prison where other charmed men are imprisoned. After that, Arin is approaching me.

"How was it?" I asked her about what those three wanted to do by coming here.

"They were supposed to be part of the previous wave. But they were late to go with the others, while they were not allowed to join other group which should come tomorrow. So, they came here on their own," Arin said.

"I see. Which mean the next wave is tomorrow. That's nice to know. And tomorrow is the final of the team battle. Sonia, anyone from the team that can come after the final is over?"

As soon as Arin arrives, I can see that Sonia appears next to me. So, I asked her if there is anyone who can come. Anyone from Tatrama team is powerful enough to defeat several expert level mages on their own.

"Just Sara and Jewel. The rest will stay behind to keep guard until the tournament is over."

Sara and Jewel, huh? They haven't reached expert level, right? But their strength is great enough tonhandle several expert level mages. That's good.

"Alright. Tomorrow, as soon as the tournament is over and they can come, Sonia will inform me right away. I will transport the members from Consenza and Varadis who have lost the tournament. Tell them to prepare to enter the portal. Today, we will take a rest. Only let the minimum number of people to keep watch. Oh, Sonia. Tell Lina that tomorrow morning, I will get Elsie and Sunny here."

After that, I spread the information and the plan for tomorrow. When Sonia returned, I opened a portal that let the two expert level mages from Varadis and Consenza to help. Everyone cheered at the arrival of the two expert level mages.

Today is another rest day. So, I'm thinking of getting a lot of sleep. But Arin stopped me.

"My reward."

...I almost forgot. Though I thought that she wanted to savor it for later tonight. But maybe drinking it warm is better than drinking from a bag. That's why she wanted my blood now.

"Okay, here."

I stabbed the tip of my finger with Blobbyneedle. But there's nothing for me to pour the blood at.

Instead, Arin grabbed my finger and sucked my blood directly from it. She's gripping my finger so strong that anyone else would have their finger broken.

I told her that it's just a few drops, but since she's drinking it directly,it was more than that.

"That's enough. If you're drinking it like that, you should have asked for it later tonight so my blood will still be inside of you tomorrow for the battle," I said as I pulled my finger out of her mouth.

"Sorry, I couldn't think straight. The temptation is too strong. But does it mean I can ask for your blood again tonight?" Arin asked.

"No. And you still have some blood left in the blood bag, right? Use that."

Althought I refused to let her to drink my blood again tonight, she doesn't seem dejected as she returns ro the other vampires. I guess drinking my blood raises her mood.

...No one can know that I got turned on feeling her mouth sucking my finger.

Chapter 524: Getting Sara, Jewel, and Another Person Here

It's finally the day of the final for the team battle. It's between the team from Tatrama against the team from Arturo. Though the team from Arturo and the fake king doesn't know that the real king has returned to the kingdom and got his son, Fabio, ascend to the throne.

Harold and Fabio are also busy making sure that no messenger can leave the kingdom. I heard from Sonia that anyone suspicious will be killed immediately. And if someone is using flight magic without permission, they will be hunted down.

That's scary. I think if they see me running in the sky they will start to attack me. But what surprise me the most was the soldiers and guards of Arturo seem to be stronger than those from other country. They have triple the number of advanced level mages on their rank than the soldiers from Tatrama.

Not just that. Seems like Fabio's brother who stayed behind in the capital of Arturo the whole time, is making sure that most soldiers can be trusted. I think that Toni might be a better king than Fabio, but seems like he refused that offer and only want the position of the Prime Minister.

Toni carefully spread the rumors that the king has been swapped by someone from the cult, and the real king will return to capture the kingdom back. And Toni managed to get as many powerful soldiers as he can to join his cause. So, when Harold and Fabio returned to the capital, he can send the soldiers to help them right away.

I think if Toni helped us with the plan to destroy the cult that we're doing right now, he can do much better than we are doing now. But he's too busy with just one kingdom and can't help us right now.

Anyway, Toni is sending the kingdom's army to take care of the cult members inside the kingdom. And how they can somehow stopped the information about the real king return to other people outside the kingdom means we still have the upperhand. Though once the information is known to the fake king, the tournament will be canceled.

.....

Well, I will leave everything that is not happening here to the others. They can do better than me. I can only fight. Though I need to hear the latest information so I can tell if the cult is completely destroyed or not.

Today, I'm scouting on my own. Since we received information from the three men that Arin charmed about how the next wave should be coming today, I move on my own to scout the enemies. Moving alone means I will be much faster. Although I can get Spot to come with me so we can move faster, I chose to be on my own instead. This way, in case monsters with high detecting skill can detect me, I can disappear on my own instantly using portal. If Spot is with me, I need to talk to him first and our disappearance will be delayed even if it's just one second.

But if I move alone, once I see that there are monsters that can detect me, if I disappear in an instant, those monsters will think that it's just their imagination.

Why am I confident that the enemy this time will bring monsters? Because of the three men Arin charmed.

Arin didn't ask them about the next enemies that will come when she met them the first time. But since those three ended up getting captured, I had Arin asked them again about the next incoming enemies. And they said that most of those who came are tamers or summoners who will bring monsters. There are no other mages other than the tamers and summoners. That's why they were refused to join them. Or more like those three didn't feel safe being surrounded by monsters.

Anyway, I am going toward the direction they came from. They said that there are huge and slow monsters, so their arrival should be delayed. That mean I might be able to transport Sara and Jewel first since the final of the team battle should be done before they can arrive.

Why would they send monsters today? My guess would be to distract those protecting the capital. Those monsters might be disguised as a Stampede and cause problem. Well, either way, we just need to kill them all first.

Since they are monsters, most of them might have been modified so much that they lost their mind and can only follow their master's order. Which mean that even if we killed their tamers or summoners, those monsters will still attack us. And we have to kill every single one of them.

If there are monsters with high magic resistance, it will be a trouble for the mages. But we also have monsters who excel in close combat. We can leave those who have high magic resistance to the vampires, werewolves, or even angels. Though I still need the angels to do the healing instead.

Still, it was very annoying when we heard from the three charmed men that they also don't know where the cult's main base is. And those monsters and their masters only gathered where they were told to.

I always though of myself as a coward. Well, most of the time. But seems like this Evil God is much more of a coward as only very few people know of his location. Just where is he hiding!?

I continue my search and finally I can see a huge mountain is moving. And of course that is not a mountain. That's a huge monster. That's the shell of huge tortoise. It's a species that can hide itself by camouflaging as a mountain. Which is why there are some old stories about moving mountains. And we will face them soon.

I can see the mountain is moving, but my Divine Vision still can't see the monsters coming. I need to get closer. But if they have a werewolf that has its smelling sense enhanced though experiment, they will find my location soon.

Well, I can just wait for them here. Their marching speed is slow, so they will only be able to reach the fake village soon before the sunset. They must have thought that nothing is happening in the fake village, and they should be able to rest right before it's dark. But they are wrong. The battle will happen until night and they won't be able to rest.

I waited for them while covering my body with the smell of some flowers I found on the way. With this, I should be able to cover my smell. Though if they have an All-seeing Eye, I won't be able to hide myself. Though by now, my vision is about as good as an average All-seeing Eye, so unless that type of monsters have been modified, once we see each other's position, I can just disappear using portal.

10 Mobile App That Can Make You Money

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

I also covered my body with Blobbies and disguise myself as a rock. A rock with the smell of a flower. This way, only All-seeing Eye or any other monster with see-through ability can see me.

I waited for ten minutes, and I can finally see most of the monsters. Luckily, there are no All-seeing Eye at all. So, once I see most of them, I retreated back to the fake village using portal safely without anyone noticed me.

As I appear in the fake village, everyone greeted me.

"How is it?" the General from Tatrama asked.

"They are slow, so they should be arriving before the sun set. The battle will most likely happen during the night. I think it's best to rest for now, while adjusting one of you eyes to the dark. It's just one of the method to see better in the dark. Wearing an eye-patch like a pirate so one can fight in the night. It's just an idea though. We might still fight them before dark," I said.

They informed the news to the others. Some wore an eye-patch right away, some didn't. I also told the angels to not use magic that give light yet. Once the enemies have gotten used to the dark, we can paralyze them with the light from the angels. Though it may not be a good idea if any of the tamers or summoners have light element as their second element.

In the afternoon, Sonia finally appears to inform me that the final is over. Although there were some challenges, Kayla and the others can win with just slight injuries. And now that Jewel and Sara's injuries have been healed, I can transport them here.

I opened a portal after Sonia told me that they are in a safe location, to see three girls entering the portal instead.

"I'm bored. I didn't get to fight in the team battle, and for individual battle, it will still be a few days until it's my turn. Let me fight here. At least for this battle. Then, you can return me back tomorrow. I already received approval from Kayla, so it's fine. I will also wear disguise."

"...Thank you for coming, Angela!"

With her here, our strength increased manyfold.

The plan is to let her and anyone participating in the tournament to only focus on their battle. But boredom brought Angela here. And since she has received Kayla's approval, it should be fine.

With Angela here, dozens of monsters will be defeated in an instant. Our victory guaranteed.

Chapter 525: Small Chat with My Disciple Before the Battle

"The enemy will arrive in about three hours. Most of them are monsters. Sara, I want you to make guns using earth magic and give them to the air mages. Once the enemy arrives, I want you and the air mages equipped with guns to focus on the humans and monsters who seem to have weak defense. Jewel will fight upfront with her Beastform magic and lightning magic. As for Angela, you, Spot, and I will attack them from the flank," I said to the three new arrivals

"I'll do it right away," Sara said.

As for Jewel and Angela, since their order is not immediate, they can take a rest. And with them here, I can have a chat with them as to not get myself delve in negative thoughts.

"So, Jewel, how was the tournament?" I asked my cute disciple.

"IT WAS AMAZING! WE WERE-"

"Wait, stop. Speak in lower volume," I said to stop Jewel from screaming non-stop.

"Oh, right. We were doing great. I had a great fight with the expert level from Varadis on the first match. He's here, right? It was a great battle. Kayla let me fight him one on one. The team from Varadis might have lost, but the expert level mage is strong! The fight was so great that I even got the best player of the match? that day!" Jewel said happily.

.....

"Best player of the match?" I asked. Does it mean there's a reward in every match?

"Yes. It's an award that only given on every team battle. As for individual battle, there won't be such reward. And I received the rewad on the first match!" Jewel said.

"Oh, you're amazing! As expected of my disciple," I said as I rubbed her head to praise her.

"Hehe! I got complimented," Jewel closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of my hand rubbing her head.

"So, what about the final? How did you win?" I said as I keep rubbing her head.

"Hmm... it was crazy. The opponents didn't even care of how much injury they received and fought us like madmen. Thanks to Kayla's instruction, we managed to gain victory. I even managed to defeat one expert level mage. Though the one who received the best player of the match award was Kayla. Well, that was to be expected though. It's all thanks to Kayla that we can win the tournament," Jewel said.

"It's not just Kayla, right? If you didn't participate, the situation will be different. It's also thanks to you that the team can win," I said while continuing to rub her head.

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

"Ehehe..." Jewel smiled delightfully after being praised by me, her master.

Although I taught many people about things I learned from the future, I treated only Jewel differently. Even though most of the things I taught her were taught to other people as well, I focused more on Jewel than even Kayla just because she thought of me as her master.

I'm happy that the result was great. Jewel can do many things on her own. And I'm proud to be called her master.

"And Angela, how about you? How was it watching the team battle?"

This time, I asked Angela. She has been here listening to Jewel's story of how the team won the tournament.

"It wasn't good at all. I mean it's good that we won, but the enemy wasn't good at all. They are only expert level mages. Even Veronica and Celestine back then, back when they just joined us, were still stronger than them. It won't be a challenge for me. I should have joined you from the start instead of participating this lame tournament," Angela pouted.

For someone like her, participating in a tournament where the result is obvious is not something that she want. For her, challenging powerful enemies are much better. She prefer to fight just one mohawk rather than facing ten expert level mages.

When I heard of the team battle, I told her that no matter what, she must not be included in the team battle. Because if she does, the audience won't be able to enjoy watching a good fight as she could defeat everyone on her own. But if it's an individual battle, it won't be a problem even if she defeats her opponent right away.

And the reason that she has to participate in the tournament no matter what, even if we know that she will win it, is because of the previous tournament. The college tournament in Melk. Everyone knows that she is strong, and they want to see her perform to see if she can be the strongest mage in the continent or not.

If she's lucky, she could face someone from our own team. Or maybe Celestine from Consenza, or Julia from Varadis. Maybe those from Arturo whom participate in individual battle are much stronger than average expert level mages. That's why she will fight later.

Though in the end, she can't endure her boredom and she entered the portal when I only invited Sara and Jewel. But that's good for us as well, so it's fine.

If she's away from battle for too long, I'm afraid that she will lose her touch. Maybe I should get the others as well?

Well, I don't think the others are as bad as Angela. They should be able to control themselves better.

"Since the enemies will come late, you can take a rest for now," I said to Jewel and Angela.

"No thanks. I'll fly around for a while instead. I'm bored," Angela said as she started floating in the air.

"At least don't go toward where the enemies are approaching!" I shouted before she takes off as I pointed my finger to where the direction of the enemies so she won't go over there.

"I got it!"

And so, Angela flew into the opposite directions. I'm glad that she understands.

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Sara is busy creating more guns from the rocks or other mineral she found. As for Jewel, she's just here with me. She's interested in hearing the battle from my own mouth, so I told her everything that I experienced in this war from the start.

Although many of the stories are boring since we just waited for them most of the time, she listened seriously. What a great disciple I have! I'll give her some treats.

It was fun talking with Jewel as I finally hear that someone sees a mountain moving this way. That's the tortoise we're going to face. And someone reported that Angela is flying this wa as well as she finally returns from her flight.

"I can see it. That tortoise shell is huge. How was the size compared to Andro?" Angela asked me.

"I say that the shell alone is worth the size of Andro's head. Are you going to fight it?" I asked back.

"Yes. Should I wear a mask to cover my face?"

"Yes. Although I'm not planning on letting a single one of them go, it's best to get prepared just in case. If just one of them somehow escapes, and they sent a message to the fake king in the capital, they would realize that we're actually planning to get them all," I explained.

"Okay. The mask made of Blobbies are easy to use, so I'm fine wearing them. I was just asking," Angela said as she wears the Blobbymask.

Sara and Jewel also wear them. But I still haven't wear the Blobbyarmor yet.

"...With their marching speed, it will take another hour before they arrive. We can see the giant tortoise because it was so big. But they are not that fast. Should we go greet them, or should we wait?"

I asked for everyone's opinion here.

The Werewolves and the angry angels suggested to greet them. The vampires don't care as they don't like the monsters' blood. Especially if those monsters have been experimented. So, only the humans' opinion are left.

I purposely ignored the modified monsters on our side. Their opinions won't matter as they are only newbies here.

"Waiting them here is good since we can prepare traps. Though the enemies are mostly monsters, so the traps might not be useful at all," one of the soldiers said.

"Let's go toward them instead! The waiting is killing me!" another soldier said.

...Those soldiers have started to speak casually toward me. On the first day, they would speak to me with respect. But now that I have chatted with them, they started to think of me as someone they can treat however they want. Well, I don't hate it though.

After getting everyone's opinion, most of us decided to attack instead of waiting. I also agree with them.

"Okay. Let's go. Angela, Spot, and I will quickly go toward their back. As for the side, the werewolves and the vampires will go. The angels will mostly heal the injured. Again, let's make sure that none of them escapes," I gave the order to march.

And so, Angela and I rode on the back of Spot's head toward behind the enemy line.

Since Spot is using his camouflage skill, the monsters didn't notice us at all. Just like that, we reached behind the enemy line to stop them from retreating.

Chapter 526: Confronting the Tortoise

As soon as we reached behind the line, the enemies finally noticed that they are being attacked.

None of them expected to be attacked in this place where the other members of the cult should be guarding, but here we are.

Both Angela and I jumped off of Spot's back as Spot let out his breath attack toward where the monsters are concentrated at. But as expected of monsters that have been experimented and modified. They could even survive Spot's powerful breath attack. Though only a few of them.

Most of the monsters in the line of attack were killed. So, the result is still positive. Though I wish he could kill more, but I guess they are just that strong.

Some of the humans were also killed. But since they are spread all over the place, we couldn't kill them all. And as soon as the summoners noticed that they are being attacked, they started summoning their monster.

Good thing they don't know about Pear-y Fruit. It means that no matter how high their summoning level is, they can only summon one contracted monsters.

I was about to join the fight, but then I see Angela's magic attacked several areas at once and killed dozens of the monsters and humans. So, I stopped myself from joining the battle.

.....

...It seems like I'm not needed here. Just Spot and Angela can defeat so many of them already. Though there are still many monsters in this place belonging to the cult. So, I can't rest easy.

Well, for now, I'll just target the tamers and summoners. Some of them are expert level mages in their other elements, so they can still protect themselves.

With Angela and Spot attacking huge area at once, getting close to the enemies and fight close combat is just suicide. So, I just used dual Blobbyguns on both my hands after I broke Reizpear into pieces and put those pieces in my pocket.

Using Blobbyguns against modified monsters, it's difficult to penetrate their defense. But if it's against human, and they haven't started to cast their protective spell yet, killing them in one shot is easy.

I bet Sara and the other air mages that she has given and taught to fire a bullet are doing their best at the front. There's no need for me to go there, so I just need to take care of everything else behind.

...Actually, I have many things to do. I need to kill the enemies, while not only dodging their attacks. But I also need to evade the attack from my own allies. Angela and Spot.

Scientists First Thought They Were StatuesInvesting Magazine

Spot's attack can be evaded easily as I just need to move away from the location of where his head is facing. But for Angela, I need to wait until I can see the direction she's attacking. Not just that, she can also change the direction of the magic she uses! So, it's very hard to do so.

Though sometimes, I helped Angela as well.

When she's casting a big magic toward my location, I faced her magic as I transformed Blobbygun into Blobbykatana and I sliced her magic in half. The offensive magic became two as they killed more enemies. Our combination is the greatest. Though I wish she won't keep casting her offensive magic toward me all the time. It was as if she's trying to kill me instead.

Though so far, Angela hasn't started attacking the giant tortoise yet. Although the tortoise is slow, and probably isn't the most threatening monster here, just the sheer size alone can intimidate everyone. I'll find a chance to defeat him.

Seeing a gigantic tortoise, I remember the tortoise that the cult raise. I named him Heavyback. This tortoise might be one of his siblings. This one was fed something that makes his size changed drastically.

Heavyback and his other sibling that we found back in the dungeon cave when we're trying to capture the Professor were already big. But this one is totally different in size. Though this one doesn't have any kind of ore or mineral on its back.

I also almost forgotten about Heavyback if I didn't encounter this giant tortoise. He and his sibling that I moved somewhere, were living happily without a care. Though they need to find their own food this time rather than being fed, they enjoyed sunbathing instead of being locked.

But this giant tortoise, I didn't sense a hint of intellect from it. Not just the tortoise, but also every single monsters here. I guess I was right that there are no monsters with sane mind here that we can talk to.

Just as I was about to approach the tortoise, I see Spot is charging his breath attack and aimed it to the tortoise. I stopped to see what will happen.

Spot unleashed his breath attack as it hits the tortoise's gigantic shell. But Spot's attack didn't even leave a scratch! His breath the could even destroy a mountain, is not strong enough to destroy the shell of a tortoise!

"Hoh, you have a great defense. But how long can that shell protect you?" Spot said to the tortoise.

Although the tortoise didn't reply, it seems like that tortoise knows that Spot is provoking it. So, it moved it's unbelievably long neck and aimed its head toward Spot to attack him.

Now I remember. That time, Heavyback was also wanted to attack me using some sort of breath attack or roar. Maybe it's racial skill or magic. And Spot doesn't seem to know about it, so he ignores it.

It might be stronger than even Spot's breath, so I need to stop it.

With my quickest speed, I moved to the head of the tortoise and kicked its jaw as hard as I can. The jaw that was about to be opened to attack Spot, get closed instead. And the tortoise head exploded. That's how the tortoise killed itself.

The breath that was about to be used as an attack, can't leave the head because the jaw of the tortoise was closed. But it was too late to cancel the attack. With no other place to escape from its mouth, the tortoise ended up killing itself.

And at the same time the head of the tortoise exploded, Spot attacked his second breath attack toward the tortoise's shell. It was more powerful than his previous breath attack, but the tortoise's shell's defense is still to much for Spot's breath attack to penetrate.

"What? It's dead already? Hey! I thought it was mine!" Spot complained to me.

"Don't complain! If I didn't kick his jaw, you'll be the one dying instead! Wait! It's still alive!"

Just as I replied to Spot's complain, The tortoise's head regenerated. What the hell? How can we defeat this tortoise then?

I used Divine Vision to see the inner organ of the tortoise in case I can find a weakness. But before I can find anything, the tortoise head which is very close to me, raise high and went down as if trying to slam me down with its head.

But I evaded it. I stepped back far from the tortoise. Still, the tortoise was too fast. It even let another breath attack toward me.

I dodged it again. But the monsters and the tamers in my direction were killed by the tortoise. It was great that my allies are not in this direction. But the tortoise's power is too frightening.

A powerful shell for defense. A head that even if it's destroyed, it can regenerate quickly. And the attack that can kill so many monsters and humans at once. Where is it's weakness?

Maybe if I destroyed its head again, I can see the source of its regeneration. But it will be difficult to approach it the second time.

"Spot! Lure the tortoise so it will follow you! Get as far away from us! If possible, kill it by yourself. If not, delay it as long as possible until I finished taking care of the everything else. I will help you later!" I gave the order to the serpent flying in the sky.

"Okay!"

Spot used his tail to slap the head of the tortoise which was still chasing me. And now, Spot has became its target and followed after him. Though it was extremely slow, I don't think this tortoise will target our allies anymore.

Now, I can focus on the others.

During the time we had a confrontation with the tortoise, Angela has killed many monsters and tamers. But I see something interesting.

Once a summoner got their monster killed, they instantly use summoning magic again to make another contracted monsters and summon them. No matter what it is. Even a weak goblin. Just to have another monster to protect the summoner.

And they will keep doing it whenever their new monster got killed, until they either out of mana to do another summoning, or the summoners are dead.

It's the first time I saw it in this life, but it's a familiar sight in my past life. I have seen some summoners did exactly the same during the war.

This is how a summoners fight normally. When their monster got defeated, they will make contract with another monster and summon them.

Though I will never do that. If Shelia, Graham, or even Victoria died, I won't carelessly make contract with random monster and summon them. And I have became too close with those three as well. So, if they died, I won't be able to keep calm.

Well, I hope they won't die. Anyway, this mean I need to kill all the enemy summoners first. It will be dangerous if they somehow managed to make a contract with powerful monster and summon them here After we kill their current contracted monster.

Chapter 527: More Shooting Squad

Just finding one human among these monsters are already difficult. Especially since some of the monsters are humanoid. Though I wonder why they modified a goblin into a human? Seeing them wearing loincloth and lifting a wooden club is embarrassing as a human race.

But seriously, did the cult turns a human into a monster by injecting the monsters' gene into human's body? Just how low can they be?

And why is the stupid Evil God wants to destroy the world? What kind of grudge does he has? At least if he's trying to conquer the world, I can understand that. Wanting to be the one above everyone. Becoming a real god in the end.

A way for someone to be recognized as a god by the people is simple. Even I know that. They just need to have the power to decide people's lives. Conquering the world is also one way to be recognized as a god. Though I don't know if there are real gods or not, a human being recognized as a god is quite simple. Though the method is difficult.

But this god wants to destroy not only this world, but also Monsters World. Just what's going on in his head?

I thought that he only started killing Aura users because Sonia somehow seduced someone he cares about. But I guess that's not all.

Well, whatever the reason he has, for me to have my peace, I need to kill him and everyone related to the cult. Though for those who are still children, I guess the only way to go is to let Russel brainwash them. But he's old now, so I hope I can get another brainwashing mage like him.

.....

Oh, I finally found one human. Unobstructed by the monsters. So, I aimed my gun toward the human target, but before I can shoot my bullet, another bullet from different direction took him down. When I looked toward the source, I saw Sara and several other air mages carrying a gun in their hand shooting from quite the distance.

Sara notices me. In fact, she knows that I was targeting her target. So, she waves her hand to tell me to go find another target.

It seems like I have been running around for a while, that I entered the front line of the enemy. I'll leave things here to Sara and the others as I look for another location.

And of course since the enemies are mostly monsters, while I was running around, I spread the infuriating gases all around me so the monsters will fight each other. I also need to make sure that none of my allies affected by my gases.

The battle goes well this time as well. After all, most of the monsters don't have anything to fight from distance. So, even our human soldiers can stop them. Though killing the monsters are still a bit too difficult for them. The modified monsters have been strengthened their defense so average magic won't kill them.

...Also, the soldiers on our side were distracted by the fact that some monsters look like humans. Just like that goblin-human. The humans who wear loincloth and lifting their clubs. Just how and why did the cult think that was a good idea?

I think everyone will be traumatized after fighting them. And since they won't be useful for the vampires, we will kill them all. As for the tamers and summoners, I guess only the lucky ones will be captured.

Though I will kill them all after this war is over.

Oh, found another human! Wait, he's a vampire. Shooting him won't kill him. I'll just leave and find another human to kill.

How many of the human enemies are there? Because some monsters have human form, I can't tell. And just how many monsters can one tamers tame? Aren't there too many monsters compared to the humans?

But with Angela here, we should be able to defeat everyone sooner. It's starting to get dark. We will lose our visibility soon.

Same with the enemies. But if the cult have experimented the monsters to be strengthened, they might make their monsters' vision to be able to see in the dark as well. Not counting the monsters that already can see well, or sense the opponents using other means. Good thing many of the soldiers are wearing eye-patch just like I told them.

When it turns dark, their other eye that has been covered, would have adapted to the dark and they don't need to get used to the dark. They can continue fighting as they were.

But where is Angela?

Wait! Is that her facing dozens of monsters with high magic resistance! Even if it's her, it was a stupid thing to do!

Sigh... she's just like usual. That mean I will be the one to take care most of the monsters here.

This time, I won't care if they are monsters or humans. As long as they are in the enemy's side, I will kill them. Not just the humans from their side that I will kill. Well, those humans might have been targeted by the shooting squad led by Sara.

After finding out that I was too close to the front line, I checked on the shooting squad from time to time. They are doing great in holding the enemy line. The enemy can only march slowly when they are under barrage of the guns.

It's just as Victoria said. Guns are too amazing as it is dangerous.

Though after this battle, there will be more guns used for war. I'll get more earth mage to create guns and share them to those we can trust.

As I was killing more monsters, I noticed the presence of the invisible Sonia. Seems like I received a message from someone. So, I retreated to a safe distance before I can listen to her message.

Top 50 Amazing Beaches in the World

"Roy, a message from Sara. She wants you to open a portal to the Blobby that she left back in the classroom where you used to teach," Sonia said.

"A portal over there? Does it mean she has reinforcement?" I asked.

"Yes. They are students for Sara's air magic class. Sara has selected few of them that she can trust, and told them about the war. And she said that they are willing to help. Sara is moving to another location for this new squad to standby at. You can go meet her first so she can explain everything to you. I'll be leaving now," Sonia said before she disappears.

Hearing the message, I'm glad that those students have became strong enough to make Sara thinks they are capable to hold their candle in this war. I suppose being a professor even for a while is worth it.

I ran toward where Sara is. She's hiding behind the bushes alone as the other shooting squad can do well on their own. It was just today that they received a gun, right? It's either they can follow order and learn things quickly, or Sara is an amazing teacher. I guess it's both.

"Sara! Can they be trusted?" I asked Sara right away as soon as I meet her.

"Yes. When you were busy with training, I had Candy and Wendy helped me to select the capable students. Although we can't tell if they are lying or not, the three of us were experienced in selecting those who can join our rank as agents of the kingdom. I got Sonia to inform someone who was in standby in Cassau and get him to relay the message to those students to wait in the classroom tonight. They should be there already," Sara explained.

If they have received approval from not only Sara, but Candy and Wendy as well, I think I can trust her.

"Alright. I'll open a portal right now," I said as I opened a portal to the Blobby she left in the classroom.

"Oh! What is this? The scenery changed!"

"It really as Ms. Sara said! We can go to the other side of the world thanks to Mr. Roy!"

I heard various surprised exclamation from my students during my teaching days. And not just them. There are also Sara's students whom I've never met before.

Just hearing that someone called me Mr. Roy feels nostalgic. Even though it was just about one year ago since I left teaching profession...

"Quickly enter the portal. We're at war now. I'll explain the situation after all of you come to this side," Sara said.

"Oh, okay!"

I can see the agent who was in Cassau standing in the corner of the classroom waving his hand to me. And seeing how everyone who entered the portal wearing purple armbands, I can tell that he also informed how we tell foes and allies.

After all of them entered the portal, Sara quickly explained the situation to them as they instantly stay in position. Seems like Sara has taught them not only to shoot, but other things about fighting as well. As expected, she's an amazing teacher.

Chapter 528: Unexpected Enemy's Summoned Monster

Now, we have two firing squad. Although our latest reinforcement, the students that Sara taught, were new in battle, they learned a lot from Sara in class. As for the soldier who were taught by Sara just this afternoon, thanks to being soldier, they can follow order well so they are more orderly. Though their accuracy was less than the students, they are more levelheaded.

We have mages holding the line. But thanks to the help of the two shooting squads, we can defend better than before. In fact, the mages are now more in the offensive than defensive. And they are pushing back the enemy's front line.

Just one shooting squad was enough to hold the line. But two of them? We're pushing back.

Well, it's also thanks to the monsters. The werewolves, angels, vampires, and the modified monsters, are very helpful fighting the monsters with high magic resistance. With Angela defeating many monsters at once, and Spot holding back the tortoise, we are winning. We just need to continue fighting in this fashion and we can achieve victory in today's battle.

As for me, I am now moving in the middle of the enemies. I'm being surrounded, but that doesn't matter.

My job is to kill the tamers and summoners. And maybe the monsters along the way. That's why it's easier for me if I'm in the middle of the enemy.

With my Divine Vision, I can tell where my own allies will shoot. Other than Angela's huge magic, I should be able to dodge all our allies' magic and bullets. Though I think I'm concentrating too much on the surrounding. But if I'm tired, I'll just escape to the sky and get far from here to take a short rest.

.....

I keep swinging and thrusting my Reizpear to the enemies. And then, two men managed to stop my slash with their weapon.

Umm... rather than men, they are modified monsters that look like human men. They are wearing loincloth... Just why!?

Did the cult think of putting them inside a city? But why are they wearing loincloth!? That is totally suspicious!

Maybe there are clothes for them in the fake village. That's why they were ordered to come to the fake village first before going to the capital.

...The cult sure does have a weird hobby.

But I think if that's really their plan, it might work. These human shaped monsters can't be differentiated from normal humans. As long as they are wearing normal clothes, no one can tell that they are monsters. So, if they are hidden in the middle of a city, there will be chaos.

Anyway, there are two monsters whose combined strength is strong enough to block my Reizpear imbued with Aura. What monsters are they?

信じられないけど本当の20枚の驚くべき写真Dazzllin

The two of them are equipped with a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right. Maybe some sort of soldier type monsters.

Hmm... I don't know. Well let's not care about what species or race they are. I'm going to kill them.

The two of them blocked my Reizpear side by side as I swung it horizontally. One of them stopped the blade of Reizpear with his shield, and another blocked the the spear's shaft right next to the blade.

The spear that blocked the blade has a huge scratch, but thanks to the shield blocking the shaft, the blade can't slash through the shield.

Well, they can only stop my spear because I'm focusing on my Aura to make my spear sharper. Now, I'm using my Aura to make myself stronger.

As my spear is still touching their shields, I used more power to push them away. The two human-like monsters got blown away. But thanks to my power, the swing I made was too big. So, the monsters who are excel in close combat were trying to attack me at this moment.

But I won't let them.

Using my movement technique I learned from the ostriches, I dodged their attacks after letting go of my spear. I bet none of them expected me to release my spear.

After dodging their attacks, I transformed Blobbies into weapons. This time, I won't use guns. And using spear while being surrounded so close is difficult even if I can overpower them. So, my choice is dual knives.

Using combination attacks, as my left hand and right hand move to different direction to stop or to attack the enemies within range, and combined with the ostrich's movement I learned, I killed five of them in a mere second.

"Phew... that was close. Now, none of your attack will hit me. You are too slow and I can see all your movement."

Saying so, I return to offensive again. I let Reizpear be since I can just retrieve it later. This time, I'm moving with dual knives.

Some monsters are troublesome with their not only high magic resistance, but their physical defense are strong as well. Still, most of them are no match for me.

But there are some annoying ones who have regeneration ability. Just like that tortoise. Even if I cut off their necks, they will regenerate and able to fight again. But when I stabbed their heart, they died. Just like the vampires.

I guess most of the monsters have been experimented so they have vampire's genetics that will let them regenerate again and again without needing blood like vampires. And that tortoise, I need to destroy its heart if I want to kill it.

Well, that's just a guess. And I'm too busy handling these monsters. I'll let Spot have fun with the tortoise until I'm done here.

Though Angela doesn't need to know about it. Most of the monsters she defeated were dead in an instant before they could even regenerate.

She seems to be in joyous mood. Staying in the city without having a good fight at all must be boring for her. And now, she can relieve her stress by defeating as many monsters as possible.

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Good thing there are no children yet. If there are, instead of relieving stress, it will only add up.

I think we have killed a lot of tamers. It's obvious since they are staying close to their tamed monsters. As for the summoners, they only have one monster. So, those monster might not be enough to protect them. And they are busy using their other elements to protect themselves.

Although the summoners who lost their monster summon another newly contracted monster again and again, the number of monsters appearing is decreasing. And there are less human-like monsters who only wear loincloth. It should be soon that they are out of monsters.

"Focus more on the tamers or summoners! As long as there are no more humans, the monsters will fight each other instead! And they won't be able to summon another monster!"

I shouted an order while still in the middle of battle. I slashed a wolf monster and defend myself from a superior species of ogre with my dual knives. Even though they are just knives, they have powerful defense, sharpness, and durability thanks to my Aura. This time, I used my Aura to be a balanced fighter. I made the knives sharp and my body strong. Not just sharp blade like before.

I killed those who seems to be able to overpower me as soon as possible, while defending myself against those I think weaker than me. And so far, my judgement is the right one.

And if I judged that I can't defeat those stronger than me quickly, I will save them for later when I'm not being surrounded.

They are just monsters. Not humans. And even if they have been experimented to be stronger than average, they don't have good cooperation with each other. They can only follow the order of their masters. Still, if I got careless as they surround me, I will be the one dying.

Soon after, I killed another powerful ogre. And this one seem to be someone's summoned monster.

I was about to kill the summoner as well, but I was too late as he summoned a new monster.

"Come forth! Whatever you are, defeat the one in front of you!" the summoner shouted.

I was thinking of killing the monster right away, but I can't do that. Because I judged the monster in front of me to be much stronger than me. In fact, this one might be stronger than any monster I ever faced.

It's a dragon! It's a frigging dragon! The size, although smaller than the tortoise, it was slightly bigger than Spot! And it's covered with red burning scales.

"It's a frigging Fire Dragon!"

I'd like to escape, but if the dragon is attacking, many people would die. Both from our side and from the enemy side. I need to be the one luring this dragon away.

Angela is too far from here, and she's having fun killing the monsters around her. She must be interested in killing the dragon, but if I waited, many would fall. That's why it's up to me.

The dragon rise to the sky, and I followed suit. After transforming the Blobbies into a whip to retrieve my spear back, I used the spear to gain the dragon's attention.

Even after using my full strength, there's only a scratch on its scale. This dragon is a cheat.

I need to at least stall for time until Angela can come to help.
