Chapter 621: The Cult Members Can’t Do Anything to Us

“Roy. Let some of them live so they can retreat. With that many people and preparation to meet that little man, there must be someone behind them. someone who can make expert level mages move,” Burnes said to me after I killed the small man.

Hmm... that means I can kill some of them while letting the rest escape. That might be a better idea. Especially since it was suggested by Burnes who is actually a spy. He is much better at planning than me. At least he should be.

“Fine. If that’s the case though, I guess it’s best for me to not join the fight now. They still haven’t noticed yet that I’m an Aura user. I’ll let you and the others fight them. I’ll just show myself as an air mage who snipe them from afar. Don’t worry, I’ll watch your back,” I said as I pretend to grab something from inside the carriage, when in fact I just need to transform Victoria into a rifle.

“We’ll take care of them. You just need to stop them from approaching us,” Burnes said as he stepped forward to prepare for the fight. Good thing that Thomas isn’t here. Though I feel sorry for the horses who can’t do anything here.

Maybe that’s the reason Burnes said that I need to stop the cult members from approaching us. We don’t want the horses to escape after all.

Burnes then stopped and chatted with the cult members there. About the reason why they are here.

“We’re here because that little man who have just died from a weak Wind Slash wanted to join us. He said that he will bring all the people in his bandit group to join us. But I guess that doesn’t matter anymore. How about you guys? Do you want to join the True God Cult and worship the True God with us? You can’t refuse because if you do, we will kill you,” one of the cult members said.

.....

Since he called it the True God Cult, that means he’s truly from the evil cult. Only the members called it that way. And that means we don’t need to hold back against them at all.

“You killed my friends and family! You used monsters stampede to destroy my city!”

One of the member of the circus shouted instead of Burnes. I heard that he’s a victim of the stampede. I guess it was right since I don’t think this is an act.

From what Burnes said, that guy entered the army to join in the fight against the cult. But he is competent enough to be an agent so here he is. Though he’s a good trapeze artist as well with his wind magic.

“Well, you heard him. We don’t join with people who killed others for fun. We are a circus group who make people entertained with our performance. Not kill people for entertainment,” Burnes added.

“A circus troupe? Well, that doesn’t matter. You’re all all going to die here then,” the cult member said as he prepared to shoot a magic toward Burnes.

But that didn’t happen. Because as he stretched out his arm, I already shoot a Blobbybullet at his hand. When he noticed the bullet, he tried to pull back his arm and prepare to cast a barrier. But he was too late and my shot hit his hand.

“Don’t you know? Because of the tournament, many air mages became interested in how Sara used air magic. She popularized the use of what was called as a gun. At the moment, there are not many air mages who used it. But at least we have some of them in the circus,” Burnes said.

Sara popularized the use of compressed air to shoot a projectile? I’m the one teaching her! Wait, do Burnes and the others don’t know that? And they think Sara did it because she’s an agent and she’s more popular than me?

Seems like I have a lot to teach to them.

Though it’s true. I’m not the only air mage in the circus troupe. There’s a girl here who is an air mage as well. I heard that she joined Sara’s class after I left. And she learned it fast so she was sent to the circus.

While I targeting the one in front of us, the girl is targeting the enemies behind us. Just the two of us, but it’s enough to distract the enemies so our expert level mages can defeat them.

Those who are just advanced level mages have difficulty fighting the enemies’ expert level mages. But since our side learned magic control, we are not at a disadvantage.

With me shooting at the guy’s hand as a signal, the others cast their magic to the enemies. And I aimed my rifle to another target.

This time, instead of injuring the enemies and get them to be killed by the other, I’d rather shoot them in the head right away. But I have a better idea.

Those cult members brought a number of explosive devices which was supposed to be installed inside the mouth of the new recruits. But since I killed their new recruits, those explosives are stored inside their pocket.

What would happen if at least one of them receive powerful impact?

And that’s when I started to shoot at their pocket instead. And my first shot at their pocket ended up hitting one of the explosive devices and made it explode. The explosion which was supposed to only destroy a head became several times bigger because after the one I hit explodes, the explosion spread to the other explosives in the pocket and make the explosion bigger.

“Target their pockets! They have explosive stored there and a little bit of impact will kill them!”

These cult members must not expected that we would find their weakness in an instant.

With that information, those cult members focused more on protecting what’s inside their pocket instead of killing us. And they didn’t even expect that our expert level wind mage would prefer to decapitate their head with Wind Slash. Making it easier to kill them.

“This sure is easy. Seems like I don’t even need to help anymore,” I said as I stopped aiming at the enemies. There’s no need because they are easily defeated after being told what their weakness is. They shouldn’t have come here with pockets full of explosives. That’s beyond stupid. Though they did that because they don’t know that someone can see through the content of their pockets.

“And this is also good for everyone to gain experience. Since we’re mostly doing espionage mission, we rarely fought enemies directly. There are also some other members who are close to expert level already. I bet once the tour is over, more than half of us would have reached expert level,” Burnes said.

After the tournament is over, there are many people who became motivated and wanted to increase their level. Especially those who fight with us. And more and more have reached expert level. There will still be more of them appearing since I never stop providing the market with magic stones.

I can find water element magic stones easily by diving to the sea. Though nowadays, I let Spot’s children to do it since I’m busy. As for other elements, there are many of them untouched in Monsters World. I just need to place some Blobbies there and I can grab as many as I like.

With that, I become even richer while I just need to spend mana to open a portal. And most of the magic stones were sold to the four kingdoms instead of the market. Only about ten percent magic stones were sold to the market instead of the kingdoms.

And those kingdoms would provide magic stones to their army. Some of them would be send to agents working in the field. Like the members of the circus. That’s how many more people can become expert level mages.

And although I have given a lot to the kingdoms, I stored more of them for myself, my beloved, and my friends. We need to reach master level or maybe even beyond that.

“Oh, they started to escape. I will follow them from afar and see who they will contact,” I said.

As much as we get stronger, the cult can also get stronger. They must have saved a lot of precious magic stones for a long time knowing that the Evil God has lived for a long time. He must have informed his worshipers where to mine them.

And now that they know their power is lacking, they will be focused more on raising master level mages before making their move.

Maybe I will find a master level mage here. Not an artificial one, but a real one.

I don’t need to worry because I am already much stronger than a master level mage. But I need to be careful since I don’t know what else they are hiding.

“Okay. Follow them carefully. If there is no one who noticed you, keep them until we prepared specialized agents to follow them. But if they have anyone who notice you, try your best to capture all of them. If that’s not possible, then only kill those who give you a lot of trouble. If that’s not possible, kill them all,” Burnes said.

“Okay. I’ll be back soon. Or later. Depend on what I find. Bye!”

I jumped on Ray’s back with Victoria on my shoulder and we followed the escaping cult members from the sky. Far enough for them to not notice us.
