Chapter 590: Training Under the Two Ghosts

After that, I kept asking more questions about Abyss Horse to the death mage ghost. Most of them were not really important. It’s more like she’s a fan and Ray is her idol as she kept praising Ray again and again.

All of the power of the Abyss Horse, Ray has told me back in that strange world. So, there’s really no need for me to ask the death mage ghost about it. But the death mage ghost just keep speaking.

I let her be since she will disappear soon. After she has finished teaching us everything, she will be gone. Together with the other ghost. The elf ghost.

Though there’s one big difference between the two ghosts.

One is a death mage who idolize Abyss Horse, and the other is an elf who was idolized by other elves.

As I finished talking with the death mage ghost, I asked one of the elves who the plant mage ghost really was. And it turned out that she was the Elf Queen five generations before Tia who disappeared all of a sudden.

She disappeared from Monsters World because she got summoned and made a contract with a summoner at that time. Though that summoner was killed by Timmy who took fancy of her, and he used his charm on her.

.....

Because she disappeared all of a sudden before having a heir to succeed the throne and became the next king or queen, the elves decided to pick someone else among the high elves of that time to be the next king. And that elf was Tia’s ancestor.

And that’s why Tia and the other elves treated the plant mage ghost with their utmost respect.

Though for me, I would hate her for it.

She and her summoner were traveling together, right? Which mean they were together for quite a while and she refused to return to her world. Which meant that she escaped from her people. I would hate her for it.

But I guess the elves didn’t think that way. Probably because after all this time, they have grown weaker and more cowardly. And now that they have the chance to learn something from their former queen, they gladly took that chance.

Good thing I reminded the plant mage ghost to not say anything bad about humans yesterday. Though it’s fine if she talks bad about some certain individuals as long as it’s not all human being.

I tried to remind her that both worlds are in danger. Human’s World and Monsters World. And we need the elves to help us fight against the cult. So, even if she hates human because of Timmy, she would keep it for herself while the other elves will continue helping us. It will be much better if they decided to join the fight instead of protecting the village.

The plant mage ghost didn’t only teach the elves about plant magic. She also taught them all about archery. And since there’s no other magic I can learn from the two ghosts, I also tried to learn about archery from the former Elf Queen.

While the elves practiced archery by using the bow and arrows they made from plant magic, Kayla and some others also trained by using bow and arrows they made from earth magic. As for me, I just use some Blobbies to do it.

I can use a gun since it was easier, but maybe bow and arrow can do something useful. That’s why I trained in it as well.

Maybe because I have used guns many times, I have much better accuracy than the others. I lose only to Sara who decided to train archery as well. Though since I used Blobbies as my bow, my shot is far stronger than the elves’ even without using Aura.

Though I didn’t train for too long. Some of the elves have started to lose their confidence seeing that I’m much better than them. They should have known that I’m an Aura Master and I’m a special case. But they seem to have forgotten about that fact.

So, to not make them lose any more confidence, Sara and I did our own training somewhere else. Though we stopped training in archery soon after and return to using guns. It’s much easier to use than bow and arrow.

Other than archery, the elf ghost also taught everyone about movement skills. The nimble and agile movement of the elves that I have witnessed back when I first encounter the elves. She taught that to the humans.

Kayla seem to be the best at that movement. With this, we have more advantages if we engage the enemies while we’re in the forest.

...Though that might not be very useful if the enemy is a powerful mage. They can just destroy all the trees and change the terrains. But it’s still a skill nonetheless. There should be more uses of them than what it seems. It’s not just a skill to run around in the forest.

As for the death mage, she’s also a master level in wind magic. And her wind magic is more powerful than the wind mage of the ancient Aura user I fought before. She teaches everyone about wind magic and some other magic that even though she doesn’t have the element, she still have some knowledge about them because she was very studious about magic. Not just about death magic.

Because she has wind element, I brought back Wendy who was originally traveling with Jewel in Monsters World. And in exchange, I got Shelia to go with Jewel who refused to train under the ghosts thinking that finding a rhino monster and learn beastform magic herself has more benefit for her. That’s why I had her travel with Shelia instead as I also grabbed Sunny who was with her.

As for Sunny, it was weird that the former Elf Queen also worshiped her. Though with her help, Sunny can also grow even stronger.

Seeing Sunny and even Tia train, Elsie doesn’t want to be the only one among Lina’s familiars who didn’t do anything. So, she also trained in her archery.

Thanks to her many tentacles, she can aim at several location at once. Maybe she should learn using other weapons as well.

Just like that, we spend the day training under the two ghosts beyond master level. While Albert and the others were already moving their troops to intercept the cult who has started to move.

So far, they don’t seem to need our help. So, we can train under the two ghosts instead of helping them. Though if there’s any emergency, they would contact the king through Sonia and I will need to go there.

But that is weird. If the troops can handle the cult by themselves, it means that there are no powerful mages among them. And that means the person behind the cult, presumably the Evil God himself, is not in that area. Which makes things even harder.

Because if they find that all the cult members gathering there was killed or captured, the cult will think that we have some way to communicate long distance. And the cult will start to make carefully planned strategies.

Maybe that was a trap. To see what we could do. And the only way that we could react so quickly was because we had a long distance communication. They should know that once they received the news that those who have gathered were gone.

Though they should have realized it after the invention of TV.

If it’s not because of Timmy, we would have noticed it later. Not a long time since the spies were close to the location, but thanks to Timmy, we could handle them sooner. Though I think that’s not bad.

Whatever the case, the cult will be more careful now than ever. Even more careful than they were in my past life. Especially because they have failed many times.

Well, I guess we can only wait until we got the report of where the Evil God is. With my strength as an Aura Master, I don’t know if I’m strong enough to kill him or not. But I know that the longer I wait, the stronger I became. And that’s the same with the cult as well. If we wait for too long, they will become too strong even for me.

But nothing we can do about that since we don’t know where they are hiding. Though maybe Angela can learn what Timmy did to sense everything in the continent with her earth magic soon. Not as wide as he did because she’s not at that stage yet, but it should cover a wide area. I believe that she can do it soon.

But even with Timmy’s help, the Evil God’s location was still unknown. Even if Angela can detect as much as Timmy did, we still won’t know where the Evil God is. What a pain.

After a few hours of training, the two ghosts said that they have shared everything they know about magic and other things. They said their farewell before they disappear.

Well, I guess that’s it for the training. Now, it’s time for treasure hunting. I’m glad that they told us where Timmy hid his treasures.
