Chapter 508: Incoming Enemies from Different Direction

At night, I gave the report to Sonia about what happened. The first day is over without any casualties. And everyone is resting other than the scouts.

The scouts are the wind mages who are specialized in speed. Helped by the werewolves who can keep up with their speed. Though one of the werewolves turned into a wolf, with a huge eyeball on its back. And the eyeball is using one of its tentacles to hold a potted sunflower.

Elsie and Sunny will help with the scout searching the enemy’s location. As for me, I will be resting while occasionally watching the surrounding.

Just like that, the first day of the fight is over. There’s no more reinforcement from the cult. But that doesn’t mean it’s over.

The Professor said that there will be more artificial master level mages from the cult fighting. And most of them are children who shouldn’t even awakened their magic element yet. And those children still haven’t been seen yet.

It will be dangerous for us if they come. Not only they are artificial master level mages that are much stronger than any artificial master level mages we fought previously, they are also just children. Many of us will be hesitant to face them. Not only killing them, just casting an offensive magic toward children is difficult for the soldier.

Though I don’t think they will send their artificial master level children on the first few days. But I have fought one before near the capital. There’s nothing absolute in this world.

.....

Well, maybe some things are absolute, but most things, especially things related to living beings, are not absolute. That’s what I think.

It’s almost dawn, but there has been no report from the scout about the enemy’s location. I only managed to get one hour of sleep. But that’s good enough since we’re at war with the cult.

Until now, we don’t know where their headquarter is. Even when Elsie and the others are tracing to where a few expert level mages from the cult appeared yesterday, I still doubt that the location of their headquarter is over there. But we have no other hints of where they were, so we can only wait.

What if all the cult members who will be participating here are gathering in other places first far from the headquarter? That would make our effort to search for the headquarter of the cult to be in vain. Or maybe they have moved again before this happens. That mean they are extremely careful.

Though I know that the cult doesn’t know that summoners can use portal to transport people. That means we might have a chance to go after them if their leader has just left.

I walked to Arin, the leader of the vampires, who is looking at the other vampires. They are all gathering around the prisoner with thirst in their eyes. I hope they won’t drink blood needlessly. Though Arin is doing well stopping the vampires.

“Are you still thirsty by any chance?” I asked Arin who is sitting on the ground. In the past, just her sitting on the ground will get her scolded by her followers. But none of them are scolding her this time.

“Don’t you know the law of delicious food? Even if you are full, you will always think that there’s still some room for your favorite dishes when they are in front of you,” Arin said.

“You’re right. I agree with you there. I’ll leave the prisoners and the vampires to you. Don’t let the vampires drink too much. The battle is far from over,” I said as I leave her alone.

Law of delicious food. Even if I’m such a gourmet who visits restaurants one by one, I do have favorite dishes. I totally agree with Arin. Though the amount of my favorite dishes is much more than her.

Wait, the one who has the most delicious blood for the vampires is me, right? Is she actually saying that she wants to drink my blood?

...that’s only for emergency. Other than that, I won’t let her drink my blood. Unless I’m already bleeding, and the blood is out of my body. She can lick them. I wonder if she would lick the ground where my blood was shed? No matter how delicious my blood is, I doubt she will do something so embarrassing.

And then, I used Divine Vision again to check on the surrounding. They finally come. more reinforcement from the cult. And the number is a lot more than those who stays in this fake village.

There are some mohawks who noticed me. Luckily, none of them are children.

Does it mean that all of the children with mohawks will attack us at the same time? Many lives will be lost then. Though I will put my trust on Marie’s invention with the help of Victoria. I hope whatever it is, it will be very effective on them. Though there are still no children here, so I can still let Marie perfected her creation.

By the way, about Marie, she won’t be at the tournament. Only her body double will be staying by Albert’s side. And she warned Albert to not get too close with her or she will be jealous. And like Lana used to say, all hell will break loose.

The twins are under the care of Sophie. They are also in the capital along with Daniel and other children. And since Hannah is already a mage, she will help Sophie to protect the children. Though I still forget to ask her what her awakened elements are. But since she never asked me for instruction, I guess it’s neither air element, nor it is a summoning element.

Well, back to the battle. The enemy’s reinforcement is coming, but they are from different location to where I sent the scout. So, I opened a portal to get the scouts back here.

“Incoming enemies from different location! Come back quick!” I said to the scouts in the other side of the portal. And they hurriedly entered the portal. Ready to fight.

I also told everyone to prepare for battle. It has been a while since the previous battle ended, so almost all of us are in perfect condition. Some mages still have their wounds from the battle not healed yet. But they are just scratches.

“Spot! From that location! There are five mohawks this time!” I said to Spot.

“Okay. Get on top of me and we’ll do it like before. Bait the wind mages to chase after me, and I will fight them alone. If I take too long to return, come and help me,” Spot said as I landed on his back.

“Arin! Graham! Shelia! Each of you will fight one mohawk at a time. Try to split them up! As for the rest, good luck!”

Just like before, I ride on top of Spot’s head and looked at the direction of the artificial master level mages. Spot also prepared to use his breath attack when any of the artificial master level mages started chasing at us.

And now, there are two of them who are flying toward us. I told Spot to attack the location where most of the enemies are concentrated at. Many of them died because of that. I am really glad that Spot is on our side.

Still, two artificial master level wind mages. I guess each of us will fight one.

“Spot, let’s bait them for a while. The other three mohawks, we will leave them to the other monsters,” I said.

“Okay!”

With Spot’s breath attack, everyone knows where to attack. The armies are running toward the enemies. Except for the vampires. They know the enemy is coming, so they had their fill first of the prisoners. It doesn’t matter if they ended up killing the prisoners.

With Shelia and Graham in the lead, they charged straight to the enemy. Arin may have a late start, but after having her fill of blood, she could pass them in no time.

Let’s believe them. We will do what we can do over here. Spot and I will fight the two artificial master level wind mages chasing after us.

“Shall we split up here?” Spot asked.

“I think it’s fine. We’re already quite far from the others. Good luck, Spot!”

After wishing him good luck, we split to the opposite direction. Spot changed his direction to the right, while I go to the left.

The two mohawks still chasing after Spot. But when I looked directly to the eyes of the mohawk woman, she changed her direction and chased after me.

To make my fight easier, I need to bring her down to the ground. So, after running for a while, and the mohawk woman started to get closer, I landed in the forest.

The woman will soon land on the ground. That’s what I’m aiming. She won’t expect that I will be attacking just as her feet touched the ground.

But just when I swung Reizpear and attacked from distance, she quickly dodged it by ascending a bit higher.

I guess it should be considered normal. Not all mohawks have the same weakness. Some of them are more experienced than the others.

But I will defeat her here and return to everyone.
