Chapter 532: Sending Angela Back

“That was spectacular!”

After the battle ended, I approached Angela and give her a compliment.

It was too amazing! A tortoise the size of a mountain can get blown away by Angela high into the sky! Although I saw how she did it, I can’t explain it well.

All of a sudden, the ground rise. The impact was so strong that it destroyed the tortoise’s heart. The bottom part was destroyed, but some areas on the shell has holes in it. Telling me that in that short time, Angela also attacked the tortoise’s shell.

Even though Spot attacked it with his breath, that tortoise didn’t take any damage at all. But just as soon as Angela stepped forward, she defeated the tortoise.

If that’s her relieving her stress for not being able to leave the capital at all because of the tournament, that’s scary. Next time she had something she wants to do, I’ll be sure to hellp her at all cost. Because if her stress increased, I don’t know what she will do.

It’s not just me who approached Angela. Everyone is the same. They are all wanted to see the hero who blew away a mountain into the sky.

.....

Many people lost their friends and family because of the cult. Although I don’t know what has happened with other countries, I know what happened in Tatrama. The cult has done various terrible deeds that cause the lost of people’s lives.

These soldiers can be considered lucky since they have the chance to get their revenge. But after fighting for a few days, they realized that they are not strong enough.

They have heard about my power, but even when I’m in front of them, they still couldn’t believe it. For them, Aura is something that they couldn’t comprehend. They don’t think that a human being could do what I can do.

In fact, these people think of me closer to a monster than a human being. After all, not only I fought the enemies in close range like a monster. I am also the Werewolf King who has the werewolves, angels, and vampires under my control.

That’s why a human hero is needed. And however high my achievement against the cult is, it can’t be me. And they finally found one.

Angela is a hero that everyone needed to know. Her magic gives people hope that they can be as good as her.

Well, I think that’s impossible for anyone. But that’s what I think everyone is thinking. They are thinking that if they train hard, they might be able to be as powerful as Angela.

No matter how simple my way of fighting is, they can’t comprehend it. And it’s probably my fault as well since I didn’t particularly think of spreading the knowledge of Aura to everyone.

But when they see Angela, they think that magic is much more superior than my Aura. After all, they have witnessed Spot fighting the tortoise, but the tortoise didn’t take any damage. And just as soon as Angela appears, the tortoise was defeated.

“With her on our side, victory is obvious!”

“But she’s only here for today, right? She needs to go back for the tournament?”

“Why does she need to go back? This war is much more important than the tournament. I know getting a title as the strongest mage in the world is amazing, but it’s not that important, right?”

“You’re right. The tournament is not important at all. But all the participants from every country other than Arturo are not there just for the title of the strongest. They also needed to protect the royalties, and the citizens as well. In fact, their job might be harder since they don’t know if there are any members of the cult disguising as the citizens.”

“That’s right. I heard that the real king of Arturo was swapped with a fake from the cult. If their king is from the cult, His majesty’s life is in danger. That’s why it’s the job for those participants to protect them as well. We actually has the simpler job since we just need to face the enemies here. But those in the capital of Consenza need to watch out for everything.”

The soldiers nearby started talking about the tournament and the duty of those who stay behind. The stupid one who doesn’t know much started to learn more about the importance of the tournament.

Maybe we should inform eveyone about why we need the tournament? But I thought the kings have informed their soldiers about it. Maybe this soldier is just too stupid to understand.

Well, with the cult sending that many monsters here, we should be able to get short rest. Maybe I’ll get the generals to tell the truth about the the tournament to the soldiers. And it’s also good to pass the time as well from waiting. Having a chat that improve their intellect is good to make everyone smarter. Though for those who are too stupid, it’s best to just give up.

“Angela, should I send you back to the capital? I don’t think the cult will send anymore reinforcement anytime soon.”

I approached Angela and asked her if she wants to go back and wait for her turn at the tournament.

“Hmm... what would happen if I refuse to participate? There’s shouldn’t be anything bad happening, right?” Angela asked.

“Well, from your point of view, how strong are the paticipants from Arturo?” I asked back.

“It’s just individual battle. And I don’t see anyone stronger than expert level mages on their side. Kayla, Shirley, Celestine, or even Julia should be able to win if there’s no surprise. You know, I can just pretend to be weak and lost in my first match so I can go back here right away. What do you think?” Angela suggested.

“I like to agree with you, but I can’t. There are other areas where the soldiers are guarding. And we don’t know if the cult will only come to this place. If they go to the capital right away from somewhere I can’t see, you are our hope to stop them. The tournament is just a sideshow. Though if Kayla or the other lose, I will bring them here if that’s what they want,” I tried to explain it to Angela.

“But I like it here... Well, it’s just a few days. I’ll try to endure it,” Angela said.

“By the way, who is your matchup?” I asked Angela.

“We used ballot to take a number that decide our opponent. With the help of Sonia and Elsie, we know who we will face. Right on the first match, I will face someone from Arturo. It will only be at the semi-final when I can fight Celestine,” Angela said.

“You don’t want to fight Celestine?” I asked.

“I am interested. But the waiting is annoying,” Angela pouted.

“Just do your best over there. Once the tournament is over and Albert said that it’s safe, I will bring you back here. Though if I’m in trouble, you will need to come here by yourself. Here, I opened a portal to Lynn’s room. You can go back now,” I said as I opened a portal to the Emress’ private chamber.

It’s something unthinkable for a commoner to come and go to the Empress’ private chamber however he like. But it’s me we’re talking about.

After saying farewell, I closed the portal.

I was thinking of telling the others to rest a bit, but when I see that we have more casualties than usual, instead, I opened portals for their friends to bring them home for a proper burial. Though I told those who wants to return to the capital of Consenza that I can’t bring the corpses there in case the cult members witnessed me. They can only be burried somewhere else.

I told those who left to have a one day rest. As for the monsters, only two werewolves died. I brought them back to Monsters Village to get the other werewolves bury them. I stayed for a while since I’m their king.

After the burial of the werwolves, I return back to the fake village since I can’t leave for too long.

Next opponent could be harder than the dragon or the tortoise. I need to be prepared.

.....

Meanwhile, in secret location where the cult’s main base is located, the Archbishop is speaking with someone.

“How was it?” the Archbishop asked another cult member.

“We have just sent the monsters squad. We only have the artificial mages to send,” the cult member replied.

“Are they ready to go?” Archbishop asked.

“Yes. They can leave as soon as possible.”

“Hmm... Send them to the base nearby the capital right away. And tell them to get to the capital during the final. They should arrive right on time when everyone is not prepared because of the final. With them we can kill all kings at once,” the Archbishop said.

“Understood. But do we really need to send them? I think including the monsters, we have sent more than enough to destroy a country.”

“...Many times have our plan resulted in failure. And the Professor is missing as well. Even if those children won’t do anything, there’s nothing wrong about being too prepared.”

The next wave will be the last one. And they were all the artificial master level children that Roy and the others afraid of.

The only hope Roy and the others have is the tool that Marie created with the help of Victoria. Because if that is not effective, Roy has no choice but to kill children. Something that must be avoided at all cost during war time.
