Chapter 624: Capturing Master Level Mages

Even though I’m unarmed, I defeated all the cult members I faced easily. Some tried to escape, but I’m faster than them. And those who were too far from me and tried to escape, were killed by Victoria.

Victoria has got the hang of using Aura again. Though she said that she’s much weaker than when she was a human. Maybe that’s because she’s a slime.

Monsters can use magic. But even after asking the ancient Aura users, I have never heard of any monsters capable of using Aura. Maybe Aura can only be used by humans.

Although Ray has Aura stored in his body, he can’t use it. But he can transfer Aura to me, Victoria, or even Sonia. Though Sonia needs to be careful because Aura can exorcise her.

Victoria and Sonia can use Aura because they have experience in using it. But no matter how much they tried, they can’t be Aura users again.

Maybe I’m right that only humans can have Aura in their body and use them. After all, Ray have Aura but can’t use it. And Victoria and Sonia are monsters and they don’t have Aura but can use it when they are riding or touching Ray because they used to be humans. They could even use it if I transferred some of my Aura to them as well.

Many things need to be experimented about Aura, but I think it’s fine to not do that. After all, I have decided that I won’t teach Aura to other people. Because it’s too difficult to train them without risking your life.

.....

...It’s just that the people in the past learned Aura because they are crazy. Or either because they are in war and needed to be stronger.

And I don’t have the same ability as Victoria’s master who can tell if someone can be Aura user or not. Teaching people to use Aura without knowing full well about it is too risky.

Considering that Aura is too strong of a power as well, it’s best if there’s no one else who can be Aura user in the future. It will be too dangerous if there are other Aura users since Aura can be used for many things.

Though if I have kids in the future, I will at least get them to learn how I manifest my Aura for the first time. And I hope with my good parenting, they won’t cause trouble whether they become Aura users or not. But that’s for the future. I still don’t have a kid yet.

After stopping the enemies on my side, there’s only Shelia left who is fighting two master level mages. A man and a woman. The man is an earth mage and the woman is a wind mage.

“How could this be? Everyone is defeated with just four people and some clones?” the woman asked.

“Not just that. Even when we used our full strength, we can’t do anything against that dog. These are the enemies we have to fight? I should have picked the other choice and help the Evil God instead of leading these incompetent bastards,” the man said regretfully.

“Yeah. If I know the enemy is too strong, I would have picked that choice after becoming a master level mage,” the woman said.

Hmm? There are other choice?

Those two doesn’t seem to realize that I can hear them. Or maybe they just don’t care anymore. But that’s good. At least I can hear a little bit about them.

Seems like any cult members, after reaching master level, they will be given two options. One is to lead people to do something, like how these two are trying to recruit more people. And two is to help the Evil God directly. Though I don’t know what they will be doing. But my guess is that helping the Evil God directly will make the Evil God able to move freely.

It has been so long since I stopped the stampede. The first big plan of the cult. And the Evil God should have known that the cult members are too weak so he needs to make a move. But so far, he never make any move.

I don’t think that’s because he doesn’t want to move. After all, if he’s strong enough to call himself as a god, he should have known that he alone can destroy everything in this continent. But the fact that he didn’t make any move means that for some reason, he can’t do it. And that’s why he needs master level mages to help him until he can finally come out and play.

Seems like we have to capture these two to learn more. From how things are going, I don’t think Shelia is stupid enough to kill them. But I’ll back her up just in case.

“Graham! Victoria! Gather all the unconscious cult members in one spot and don’t forget to bind them. Ignore those who are dead,” I said as I give Victoria a lot of Magic Restricting Collars.

“Oh, you already done?” Victoria asked.

“Yeah. It was easy since the master level mages are busy with Shelia. Those two might have important information, so I will capture them with Shelia,” I said.

Shelia wasn’t surprised that I came even though she said that she wants to take care of the two of them by herself.

“Here comes another one. This one is wearing an armor and act as a living armor,” the woman said.

“Wait! He’s not using magic when he defeated the others. He must be the one that the Archbishop warned us about. The Aura user,” the man said.

“They exist!? I thought they are just fairy tale! Does it mean that we have no way of winning?” the woman asked.

“There’s only one thing left for us to. For the sake of the True God!”

The man then put his hand in his pocket where there are many explosive devices there. Just how much do they love explosion?

He must be thinking of suicide but I won’t let him die. I grabbed a kunai from my pocket and threw it toward the man’s arm. Before the hand reached his head to kill himself, I managed to cut it off cleanly with the kunai. It’s a good throwing weapon.

Without telling her, Shelia quickly run toward the man and hit him in the solar plexus and then to his temple. He got knocked out and fell to the ground. Leaving the woman alone still standing there dumbfounded.

“You’d better give up or losing your arm is the least of your concern. I won’t let you kill yourself until we have interrogated you and you tell us everything,” I said to the woman.

“...Seems like I can’t even kill myself. Aura user is really too strong for us. Fine, I will surrender,” the woman said as she raises her hands up.

That’s good. But that doesn’t mean I won’t do anything to her. I still knock her out so it will be easier to bring her in for questioning.

“Ugh... Why?”

Does she really think I won’t hit her? Well, she’s wrong.

Now, we have the two master level mages. But seeing how there could be two master level mages on the road between Melk and Mellian, there could be more of them in other places.

This is getting harder and harder. Not the fight. These master level mages are still easy to defeat. But other people will have difficulty defeating even these weak master level mages.

“For now, let’s bring them to the prison in Tatrama. Albert will take care of the rest,” I said as I opened a portal.

The portal is connected to the prison and the warden has gotten used to me suddenly appear when he noticed that I opened a portal. I told him to get the two master level mages to be put in separate prison from the rest. They were also too strong for a normal bind, so they got chained by a strong metal chain instead.

Though those metal chain is too heavy for the warden or other people to bind people with, so the one who did it was Shelia and I who are strong enough to do so.

...I actually wanted to do it on my own, but Victoria told Shelia to bind the woman instead. It’s not like I want to touch her or something. She is an enemy.

“Good. Victoria, we’ll go back to the village. Shelia, Graham, good job. You can return back to your world now.”

The werewolf and the archangel then returned back to their world. And Victoria, Ray, and I returned to the village to investigate everything.

I also opened a portal to the circus group who are continuing their journey without me so I can get Burnes and several other agents to come with me to investigate the village.

After taking everything that seems to be suspicious, I transported them all for the others in Tatrama for the people there to investigate. And we then returned back to the carriage.

“For them to send two master level mages in one location... Seems like we will continue encountering more of them during our tour,” Burnes said.

“Yeah. But as long as I’m with you guys, you don’t have anything to worry about,” I said confidently.

The journey to Mellian continued without any obstacles. And before we reach Mellian, I transported Thomas back with us.

Next is our show in Mellian. I can be a clown again!
