Chapter 485: After the Show is Over

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Are they always like this after every performance?” I asked Thomas while removing my clown’s garb.

.....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s time to kill some cult members.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But that’s only if the corpses are found.

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

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

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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