Chapter 604: Spot Asking for a Race

Finally, we have done checking all the magic items from Timmy’s treasure vaults. I didn’t just receive some amazing weapons. There are also a few armor that Aura users can use. They are much better than Victoriarmor and have special abilities as well. Though I only grabbed one.

It’s a jet black armor that covers my entire body. This should be enough for not only my protection, but also for my disguise as the living armor. Though I don’t know if the rumor about the powerful living armor is still known by the cult or not. But it’s still good at least.

And the effect it has is amazing. Though I won’t use it unless it’s necessary. And that time should be when we finally enter an all-out war against the cult.

This time will be much different than my past life. I feel good about it. Though I don’t know if it will end up with happy ending or not. At least we have put a lot of effort in reaching the happy ending we want. The destruction of the cult.

First, I have more allies. And they receive knowledge of the future from me, and knowledge of the past from the ghosts. Even the strongest members of our force in my previous life are incomparable to a few of us even if I’m not included.

As for me, I’m already much more powerful than the me in my past life. There’s no need to compare.

Although Angela was powerful in my past life and gained a reputation for being the strongest force that we have, the Angela in the present is much stronger than that. This is something to be happy about. Though she is not wearing the sexy dress. That is something to be sad about.

.....

Many things that happen in my previous life, especially the tragedy, were managed to be prevented. Sometimes I would get involved in them, and other time, I would get other people to be involved in them. After all, the four kings in this continent are now working together to fight the cult. Unlike in my past life when some of them have been taken by the cult, or even killed.

And the four kings have also prepared a troop of powerful mages to eradicate the cult. Though we still haven’t found a sign of where the Evil God is located.

But the Flamboyant Mustache Troop has been created. With Mustache as the leader. At least that’s what Albert said. Though most of the members of the troop doesn’t have mustache. But at least they should be much stronger than the Flamboyant Mustache Troop in my past life. Even Mustache has reached expert level. And he reached it while still doing his job as Albert’s guard. What a guy he is.

Still, back then, I didn’t even know that the cult has so many expert level mages. And they even have artificial master level mages as well. If they had sent them out in my past life, after I returned back in time, I don’t think I would have the desire to destroy the cult. I would have picked escaping instead of destoying the cult.

But now, we have found out that they have so many expert level mages and also artificial master level mages. But We have become much stronger. We have defeated a lot of expert level mages, and I think all of the artificial master level mages have been defeated, killed, or captured so their brainwashing could be erased.

I think most of the children who were brainwashed have their brainwashing erased already. But they still have their strength, so someone in Varadis will help them to adjust with their strength so they can have a normal life.

Some of the children have said that they wanted to help us detstroying the cult because the cult has destroyed their lives. Albert has gone there and said that they spoke the truth. But still, we only allow those who are fifteen years old or older to participate. Younger than that, and they will be refused.

It’s funny that most kingdoms here trained their agents from young age how to kill, but the kings rejected their ideas to help us fight the cult.

...Turns out, it’s all my fault. Knowing how I much I hate to involve children in the war, the kings decided to not make enemy out of me first before increasing their power. Though they said that they will at least put those children who are still too young to protect the kingdom. The kings have asked the people they trust to guide those children well.

Okay, let’s stop talking about the children. I don’t like it, but it’s not like I can do anything about it. I’ll leave it to the others to take care of those children who were forced to be experimented and became artificial master level mages.

Well, there’s nothing we can do now except to grow stronger and make more preparation. Is what I thought at least. But at the moment, we are doing something that is completely unrelated to that.

“...Spot, are you sure?” I asked Spot who made a suggestion to me.

“Yes. I will ask you to let me race against Abyss Horse and see who is the fastest one between us,” Spot said.

What she asked me to do is to let him race against Ray. The Abyss Horse that I recently made a contract with to be my familiar.

Is Spot by chance jealous because someone else is taking his spot as our ride? Though Ray is unable to hold too many people. So, Spot is still better in that.

“I thought that if I continue as I am and act as your friend, I will be able to become the steed of an Aura user like I wanted to do in the past. I really wanted to grow into an adult so much in the past and became my master’s ride. Unfortunately, my master died too soon before I reached adulthood. And when I met you, an Aura user, I thought it would be fine to let you ride me anytime without having to make a contract with you. But in the end, you made a contract with a better ride. At least I want to race him so I can give up on becoming your steed,” Spot said.

What? Making a contract with Ray hit his confidence? I’m sorry about that.

“I don’t mind you racing though. But no matter what, we need you to continue helping us. Well, you are not a contracted monster, so you are free to leave if you want. But for me, I want you to stay with us until the end even without a contract,” I said.

“Understood. After staying with you, I also have started to feel hatred toward the cult. I will do my best to help you destroy them. But for now, I will focus on my race,” Spot said as he looked at Ray. Ray noticed that Spot is talking about him, and he looked back.

...Why do I feel that Ray wanted to race as well? After that time he took me into his world, I shouldn’t be able to communicate with him anymore other than giving him some order.

I guess Ray is also very competitive. I like that.

And so, I prepared the venue for the race. In fact, everyone also helped because they want to see who is the fastest among the two. They seem to enjoy it so much that they even started making a bet.

Although I like Spot and has been with him for much longer, I put my bet on Ray because he’s my familiar. When I said that to Spot, he clicked his tongue. But I know he understands.

Though in the end, I’m the one responsible to find the track for the race. One that will be fair for these two.

One is a hybrid of sea and sky serpent, and another is Abyss Horse. The terrain doesn’t matter since they can fly. But a race in the sky alone would be boring.

Ray can fly just like how I do it. By running in the air. And spot can fly and swim.

Ray can also run underwater. He is a good swimmer. I took him to a treasure hunt under the sea with me a few times, and even without using air magic on him, he can still breathe. And I don’t need to use Aura on him to move faster. Though using it will get him to move faster.

As for Spot...

“I can move on land as well. Just like a snake. Though I will be fastest on land if I slither with my real size. So, if you made a track on land, I want you to make it to be a place where I can transform in my full size,” Spot said.

Basically, the two creatures are capable of moving on land, air, and sea. We truly have amazing monsters with us. I like it.

After a whole day of moving around with portal, I finally prepared the track. I asked for someone’s help in this.

The race will start tomorrow morning. And the distance was really long considered that these two creatures have amazing stamina. It will probably be over at night.

Finally, we will see which one is the best steed. Though each have their own advantages, so I will be happy if either of them win.

...I lied. I want Ray to win because I place my bet on him. I hope he will win.
