Chapter 551: Don’t Hurt My Father!
Now the defensive battle from our part is over. Though everything is not over yet.
I opened a portal into Monsters World, to the Monsters Village. There, I have three werewolves who are fit, healthy, and ready.
Even though their race are the kind that love battlefield, there are still individual preferences. Though these three still love fighting, they know that they are far weaker than average werewolves. That’s why when we prepared our plan, these three voluntarily refused the offer despite how much they want to fight. They are level-headed. They think that they will be a burden if they fight at the front and too weak to finish the enemies.
But their speed is about the same. And they have same abilities as normal werewolves. They know that I want to destroy the cult, but they don’t have the strength to do that. But they can still do other things. That’s why Red, the second in charge of the Monsters Village after me, suggested that these three will track the enemies.
That was before we even look for the fake village. And I left some non-combatant agents from Tatrama, to teach those three werewolves to be a good spies.
And as I opened the portal, those three werewolves, and five other agents, entered the portal.
“How are they?” I asked one of the agents.
.....
“They have much better ability and skill than average agents. With the training they went through, blending in might be a little difficult. But if one of us joined them in their search while pretending to be a tamer of a wolf monster, it should be fine,” one of the agents said.
I see. One of the werewolves will turn into a wolf, and pretend that he is a tamed monster. And the agent who will come is the tamer. I think that’s a good idea.
“Okay then. We were unable to find any trace of where they came from. I hope you can find them,” I said.
Then, the agents who talked with me turns around and talk to the three werewolves who were chatting with Shelia and the other werewolves. I think I heard about this job as their battlefield that no other werewolves can do. Maybe the agents made them think that way. Well, that’s not wrong though.
The man talked to the three werewolves, and one of the werewolves then turned into a gray wolf and get the man to ride him. As for the other two, they hide their wolf ears with their human transformation.
Then, the four people left to look for the enemy’s main base. I hope they can find it. I have told them that the cult might realize that they are facing aan Aura user, so they might increase their security. It will be bad if the cult found them spying. But all I can do is to believe in them.
“Alright, I will leave to the capital. All of you should rest for now. Or maybe you can come to the capital to rest?” I asked.
“Master, it’s best for us to rest here. If there are too many of us entering the portal, you will spend more mana instead. And we’re all exhausted. We will just be burdens if we go. Once you’re done, you can bring us back to the capital. Open a portal to the Blobby I have. If you don’t come by tomorrow morning, we will return to the capital on foot,” Jewel said.
Seems like everyone agrees to do that. Except for Celestine and some expert level mages from Consenza. They are worried about what happen to their country.
I opened a portal directly to where Albert is. I can see Kayla, Julia, and some other people are fighting mohawks. Seems like there were still many of them who managed to enter the capital from other places.
I see Candy is protecting Albert, Marie, their children, Lynn, and old man Henry on her own. But there are more enemies than she can take as a small Fire Ball pass through Candy’s defense and slightly burns Albert’s arm.
“I’m okay! Don’t worry about me!” Albert shouted. He still doesn’t notice that I have opened a portal.
I need to be quick. Seems like the fight here is too much even after we stopped so many enemies. Seeing that Angela is not here, she must be busy with the enemies outside.
As I was running toward Albert’s location, I see something unexpected. Multiple Ice Spears are flying above Albert’s head. But they were not magic that Albert casted. It’s from someone else there. They are from the girl that Marie is holding. One of the twins, Lana.
“Don’t hurt my father!”
Lana, the girl who was born special. She was almost died while she was still in the womb of her mother. But I helped her to be born safely thanks to the knowledge from the future.
Unlike other twins, like the twin commentators who were born normal, she was different. After a hard work from her mother and her aunt who cultivated together for a long time, she was finally born with natural inborn aptitude of an ice mage. She can use ice magic since she was born.
And now that she has grown a little, although she’s still a child nonetheless, she is protecting her father who got hurt by the enemy.
She created multiple Ice Spears in the air, and they were all shot toward not just the one who harmed her father. But also all the enemies there. Not just the mohawks, but also some cult members who were in hiding in the capital for a long time.
As none of them expected that a girl who is still so young to be able to use magic, none of them prepared to get hit by her attack. And Lana’s Ice Spears pierced all of the enemies precisely.
“...Not only she was born with natural aptitude with ice element, she has good magic control as well. She could be a challenge for Angela in the future in becoming the continent’s strongest mage,” I said.
After attacking all the enemies, Lana is visibly tired and went to sleep in her mother’s embrace. But maybe because she is still too inexperienced, all the enemies are still alive. But that’s no problem for Candy and the others there since the enemies have been wounded badly thanks to Lana.
“Alright, go protect the kings!” I ordered the people who came with me. They were all still stupefied by what they just witnessed.
“Huh? Roy! You’re here!” Albert shouted happily.
“If I see any enemy who is still alive, I would have kicked your ass already for calling my name out loud. How’s the situation?” I asked.
“There were more enemies than expected. Some were hiding with the citizens, but we also have some people blending in with the citizens as well. But there are still a lot of enemies left. Angela, Shirley, and your familiar Graham, are still fighting in the Arena. There are more artificial master level mages there,” Albert said.
Seems like because the reinforcement came late, they commenced the operation right after the final match is over. That’s why Angela and Shirley were still there.
As for Graham, after he finished his job in another location he was placed, he flies back here so he can heal Shirley and Angela after their battle, which should be impossible for any of them to end unharmed. But if they are still fighting, I guess Graham has somewhat healed them.
“You go to the arena. The rest of us will protect the capital and the kings,” Candy said after she finishes off her opponent.
“Alright. Take care!”
I moved to the Arena while hearing the reports from Sonia.
In the arena, only three people are from our side. There were supposed to be many agents in the Arena, but now that the kings have moved to the capital, those agents also followed.
As the enemies arrived in the arena, Shirley who have just been healed by Graham after her intense battle, or so I heard, against Angela, took command of the agents and ordered them to protect the kings and the citizens.
But seems like the mohawks’ targets are not just the kings alone. They also targeted the finalists of the tournament. So, with just the three of them, Angela, Shirley, and Graham, they fought many artificial master level mages in the arena.
And even though they are still fighting right now, the arena has been destroyed. It must be a fierce battle. Good thing there were no more people in the arena except for them and the enemies.
I can see them being surrounded by mohawks. And they can only face the enemies in front of them.
Angela and Shirley are back to back facing the enemies coming to them. While Graham is fighting those who came too close to them, and also responsible in healing the two girls.
But now that I’m here, we won’t lose. Angela won’t be busy protecting those two again as she will have more freedom once I’m there. And the enemy won’t survive.
