Chapter 543: The Secret is Safe

In the second base, there were not many people here. Just about fifty. And the base was build halfheartedly. Only the surrounding wall are quite strong.

When we build this base, we made the wall to cover a large area. So, even if the enemy wanted to walk around the wall, they need to walk a long distance before they can pass the wall. And before they can do that, they will be attacked by us right away.

As soon as I entered the second base with Arin, I quickly summoned Shelia without warning. I don’t need to use portal since she’s my contracted familiar.

Shelia appears with wounds all over her body. And her regeneration was quite slow. I guess she’s tired after so much fighting.

“Heh. I killed that white mohawk with a huge mole on his forehead that you told me. This way, there won’t be anymore flying mohawks,” Shelia said as she rested her back on the wall and sat on the ground.

“That means we got all of the artificial master level wind mages. Even if other artificial master level mages have advanced or even expert level in their wind element magic, they won’t be faster than us. Good job, Shelia. You can take a rest now. Arin, you should take a rest as well,” I said.

With the monsters’ speed that have been trained well, they should be as fast as any average expert level wind mages. And since we have defeated all the artificial master level wind mages, there’s no one else among the enemy who is faster than us. I hope.

.....

But damn, I’m tired. And the fight is still continuing.

Arin and Shelia have defeated a lot of enemies. And I also captured just a bit over sixty from around two hundred children. With the fifty people here, I should be able to get a little more than that this time. Maybe a hundred? Or even the rest of the children?

If that happens, we can go all out without caring about children in the fourth or even third base. I truly hope that will be the case. That way, everyone can use everything they have to stop them from approaching the capital. And hopefully, by the fifth base, we have defeated all of them.

But a thousand of artificial master level mage is a huge number. I can capture sixty children because they were also not prepared. But that won’t be the case in the next battle.

Also, capturing the children who were not able to do anything is much easier than killing the mohawks. In real battle of life and death, it won’t be that easy.

“Alright, I will also take a nap now. After calculating the distance and their marching speed, I estimate they will arrive in two or three hours. Wake me up after ninety minutes,” I said.

Victoria then left me to chat with the others after making me a single Blobbybed. The bed was so soft and feel good that I instantly fell asleep.

I was woken up by Victoria after a good nap in the comfortable bed to see that the bed has grown bigger, and Shelia and Arin also lay down on the same bed.

I get about Shelia. We slept together once in a while. But Arin as well? I guess she was just too addicted with my blood that she’s fine with sleeping with me.

Well, it was just sleeping. It’s fine. Though I checked my whole body to see if I have another bite mark other than the one I got from before. Seems like she was just sleeping. But why isn’t Victoria just made another bed with Blobbies for Arin?

“How long have I been asleep?” I asked while carefully leaving the bed to not wake the other two monster girls.

“About two hours. I have told the werewolves here to be on guard of the smell of the enemies coming. And there were no reports at all,” Victoria said.

Then, I used Divine Vision to check on the surrounding. The enemy still hasn’t arrived yet. And I can see several werewolves on guard in different location. Seems like we’ll be safe for a little longer.

“Alright, let’s have some dinner first. I’m starving,” I said as I opened a portal back to the warehouse in Consenza. That’s where our supplies are coming from.

And what I didn’t expect was Lina was there waiting in her maid uniform with warm meal.

“Sonia told me that you might be hungry. Here’s your food. I prepared some to share with the soldiers and the monsters,” Lina said as she and other maids and servants at the warehouse offered us the food.

The warehouse is currently being used by the empress herself. And the maids and servants were the people from the castle that Lynn can trust. But because they are weak, they were told to leave the castle and help with the supplies here in case the enemy attacked the castle. And they are willing to help.

“Thank you, Lina. Go get some sleep. It’s late already,” I said.

It’s already past midnight. And the meal they delivered was warm. I guess they are working hard as well even though they can’t fight.

I grabbed all the meal, and transported them to the three other bases. Other than the guards watching, everyone in the other bases are sleeping.

Well, since we’re here, and if we can delay them for a bit, at the soonest, the enemy will only arrive at the third base at dawn. Everyone can rest for now. And the supply were good for a few days. As for the warm meals, those are only for us who are at the second base.

The smell of the meal attracted the werewolves and they left their posts and return. Must be the fried chickens. They were the werewolves’ favorite food.

Even Shelia got woken up from the smell. And because she moves quickly, she woke Arin up.

After we finished our meals, I can see the enemies finally arrive. Shelia and the werewolves also can smell them even though the smell of the fried chicken is still here.

“Alright, everyone! Prepare to battle! Fight as you see fit since I won’t be able to hear anything soon!” I said.

Now, we’re ready for the next match. And after we decrease their number, we used portal to transport to the third base.

....

Back to when a certain artificial master level mage returns to report about the existence of an Aura user.

The one Roy called as the forehead mole mohawk flies as fast as he can back to where he was dispatched from. That place was not the main base of the cult, but it’s just the place where the artificial master level mages, and everyone who participated in the war to kill the kings gather before their dispatch.

Not everyone came to this place. There were some other places. But this is where most of them gather the most. Roy was right about how the enemies will come from another location.

The forehead mole mohawk returned to the city he was in before to meet someone.

“Why are you back here again? I thought you should have been flying to the capital already,” the man in white robe asked.

He’s the man who was in charge of the task of killing the kings. The archbishop entrusted him for this task. And he also remember the forehead mole mohawk because of his appearance.

“Important report. Aura user appears,” the forehead mole mohawk said.

“Oh, is that so? Well, that doesn’t matter. You can go back to march the capital. Since you can fly, you can catch up with those who walk, right? Do it. I’m sending you to an important mission. The only report you need to tell me is a report about your success. Leave!” the man in white robe said.

He’s also an important figure in the cult since he’s in charge of this mission. And the Professor has given order to the artificial master level mages to obey this man’s words.

With this mission, he, an expert level mage, was given the chance to cultivate with better resources to be a master level mage. And he will be at the rank where he could compete against the archbishop.

Even among the cult where many of the members are loyal, some people are still loyal to their own greed. And that’s how Roy is safe for now since this man doesn’t care about Aura user.

In the past, everyone was told to immediately report for the appearance of Aura user. But that was long when this man has just joined the cult. And like many other people, he forgot about it.

Thanks to this man, the forehead mole mohawk returned back to the battlefield, and the report about the appearance of Aura user was kept deep inside the man’s mind. He only cares about one thing, Success for this mission. It’s so he can cultivate into the rank of master level mage. Other than that, the rest are not important to him.

And his blindness toward other things ends up with him not knowing that every mages that he has sent before, other than the artificial master level mages who were on their march right now, were being killed, stopped, and captured by Roy and the others. But because Roy took care of the cleanup nicely, other than the forehead mole mohawk, no one managed to retreat back.

And the forehead mole mohawk also informed the marching squad that he has reported about the appearance of an Aura user. That’s why he will join them. And the rest of the squad don’t need to return and report about an Aura user anymore.

Thanks to that, the secret of Roy as an Aura user won’t leak for a little longer. At least during this battle.
