Since now the air mages have a good place to cultivate, I told Sara about it through Sonia. Since she is most likely to be a member of this country for the tournament, it's best to tell her first about it. As for the class, I bet Dean can teach them students whenever he's free.
After telling Sara that she can go to where she should cultivate, I return back to Monsters World. Since I'm the only one who can cultivate in space, I can't bring Sara with me.
I returned to Andro's head. Not the top of the head, but right in front of his face.
I waste time chatting with him before I go cultivate my air element. I don't know how long I will stay in space, but it might be a long time. So, I chatted while snacking to fill my stomach.
Since I said that I'm going to cultivate, Spot won't come with me. He is with Sara so he can help her go to where she should cultivate.
He told me that whenever he's not busy, which is during the whole time I am cultivating, he will accompany Sara at all time so he doesn't need to bring her to the mountain. He can just fly high and let Sara cultivate on his back, while he's enjoying the view. At least until the raid to the cult's lab.
Well, as long as both sides agreed, I don't mind it. I also told Sara that any air mages that she can really trust, she can bring them with her to cultivate. She's also an agent, so she can investigate if the students in her class can be trusted or not. Though I didn't allow her to tell my secret about being an Aura user.
Anyway, let's just cultivate and improve myself.
After finished chatting with Andro, I connected a line from Blobbies and connected it to my own body, before covering myself with Victoria as my spacesuit. And then, I jumped to the sky. Higher and higher until I feel no weight in my body. The area without gravity.
"Good luck! I'll enjoy the view while you're busy," Victoria said.
And if I'm not busy, I will enjoy the view as well.
And so, I started cultivating until hopefully, someone increased their level before me and needed my protection. I'll have Victoria wakes me up in case that happen.
Thankfully, two months after cultivating with a break there and then, I reached advanced level in my air element. Making me have two advanced elements.
But none of the other members are breaking through to the next level. Or at least those who have broke through, didn't need my help. I hope that's the case.
And since no one is calling me, it's time to test my air elements. This time, I won't experiment a new gas on the ostriches anymore. But the monkeys from the Pear-y Fruits forest.
I have grown fond of those monkeys after killing them during experiment of going to space.
Well, one of them died in space, and the other one, I dropped it back to the earth. That one should be dead.
Let's practice new gases until I can use everything perfectly. Hopefully, those gases will be effective now at least to expert level mages. But for master level, just a slight effect might be useful.
And so, I spend my days training my air magic. Of course, I taught those gases to Sara, who has reached advanced level before I did even though the place I cultivated at is much better. That's talent, I guess.
But at least there are two people who can use various types of gas among us. And she will be a great asset, not just for the tournament. But for the war as well.
I hope the others are doing fine. At least I haven't heard of any bad news from them.
If they miss me, they will contact me. But I guess none of them miss me. I feel so lonely…
...….
Meanwhile, deep under the ground, Celestine is talking with Angela, who is looking for a place to cultivate her earth element.
The two met up coincidentally, and decided to go together into a dungeon that they found, hoping that they can improve their earth element.
Angela has found the other three location for three of her elements, and those three elements were already close to breaking through. And she is looking to get all four of them to reach the next level at the same time, which is unprecedented. No one has managed to do it.
For wind element, it was on Andro's back. The fire element, it was on a volcano. The ice element, she found it all the way to the north where it's the coldest. And now, she is looking for a place good for cultivating her earth elements, and met Celestine by chance.
The two then coordinated together to find a good place, and reached this unknown underground dungeon.
"The first time I entered a dungeon, it was an underground dungeon as well near Cassau. Be careful of being caved in. Though our earth magic should be strong enough to handle it," Angela said.
"Some of the monsters here are much stronger than other places. There might be something even stronger than them inside. Don't let your guard down," Celestine said.
The two explored inside the dungeon together, and defeating all the monsters they found. When they find treasures, they would bring them to a safe place, until they finished capturing the dungeon. They will ask Roy to get those treasures appraised by Jeremy.
Now that many of the members are in Monsters World, entering dungeons left and right, the amount of treasures that Roy bring to Jeremy was too much. Luckily most of them are useful to increase the strength of everyone. And even if none of the members want it, it can be given to someone the kings trusted to help fight against the cult.
Unsurprisingly, the cult is standing by and not doing anything big during this period before the tournament. Albert and the others are right that they are planning on making the big move around the time of the tournament.
Angela and Celestine went deeper under the ground, until it's impossible for light to reach. It was extremely dark, and the only source of light is the torch that Angela lighted with her fire magic.
Although the two of them are capable earth mages who can sense the movement of the surrounding area from the vibration of the ground, losing one sense in a dangerous location is not something anyone wants. Only Roy is capable of exploring the dungeons without a care because of his Divine Vision.
"You feel anything?" Celestine asked Angela.
"No,"
"Be careful. We don't know what kind of monster is this deep underground," Celestine said.
As they went in deeper, Celestine noticed something strange.
"Angela, from here on, the shape of the dungeon is not natural. It's as if a monster is digging deeper to make the dungeon goes further down," Celestine said.
"You mean we'll fight something like a mole?" Angela asked.
"A mole, huh? You might be right. be careful and enhance your sense so you can sense right under you," Celestine said.
As they went in further, they encounter more monsters, but none of them should be able to dig this deep. They seem to just found the hole, and went in out of curiosity. And they encountered Angela and Celestine to just die in an instant.
"If Kayla is here as well, we could be a trio of amazing earth mages!" Angela said. To which, Celestine just smiled.
Just like the two of them, Kayla is also looking for a good place to cultivate. And if either side finds one, they will contact the other right away.
As they finally reached the deepest area, they see a small pond of water.
"A pond? I guess it's natural if monsters need to survive this far down," Celestine said.
"Is the mole inside the pond?" Angela asked.
Just as she asked that, the two girls feel vibration coming from the ground. Not an earthquake, but a huge monster surfacing from the pond.
The monster is not a mole. Rather, it was a frog. A frog with huge claws on its hands, which makes it possible for it to dig this much.
The frog comes out of the water, and prepared to fight the two.
"Hmm… I think this might be the strongest monster we encounter. Probably multiple times stronger than those we encountered before," Celestine said.
"That's good. At least it will be an interesting fight," Angela said with full of confidence that she could defeat the frog.
"Since there are two of us, how about we decide only one of us will fight it, while the other tries to cultivate in this place? We haven't tried to cultivate because we are exploring this dungeon, but now we reached the deepest part, there shouldn't be many monsters coming," Celestine suggested.
"Sure. How do we decide it?" Angela asked.
"Well… let's keep our distance first. The first one who is targeted by the frog will fight, and the other will cultivate. But we still need to be careful, so just five minutes of cultivation should be more than enough to see if this place is a good place or not," Celestine said.
"Okay."
The two then spread to right and left, and wait until the frog attacked one of them.
The frog is being wary to the two, and just waited.
Because there's one big weakness that the frog has, but the two don't know yet.
The frog can't see in the dark. That's why the path that the frog dug is random and moving left and right as if the one who did it was drunk.
And so, the three just stay at standstill, until Angela can't take it anymore and killed the frog in one shot when it's not ready.
"…I guess we should try to cultivate together then," Celestine said.
"Yeah… but let's dispose of the frog first. I don't want to cultivate in an area next to a corpse of a frog," Angela said.
And that's how the two find a good area to cultivate their earth element.
And while Angela is already cultivating, Celestine contacted Roy by breaking a Blobby to tell Kayla about this place.. He immediately returns to the dungeon with Kayla so she can cultivate with them.
