Chapter 684: Capture Them First

“This is...”

Albert, and the other kings, including Yuria and future king of Varadis whose attitude has become slightly better, William, are here together. They are all surrounding a piece of paper on top of a round table. It’s a map of the base of whoever it is that taming monsters in Monsters World. We still don’t know if the cult is related or not.

“A map. It’s a map drawn by Randy. Albert’s cousin who is currently training in Monsters World. And I have to say that his drawing is precisely as what I’ve seen myself,” I said.

“Where is he now?” Albert asked.

“In monsters village. He’s on standby there,” I said.

Even though I’m talking, all eyes are on the map. I also had Victoria’s clone, the Blobbies, to shapeshift into something similar to the drawing of the map. And she said that it’s a 3D map. Though it’s good because we can also see the height of the surrounding landscape and also the height and the thickness of the wall.

“What’s in the middle? I thought that if it’s you, you can see what’s inside,” Lynn asked.

.....

“I didn’t look deep inside before. Just in case that there are master level mages there. We have confirmed that they are from this world. Though I don’t know if they realized that Monsters World is the moon or not. Anyway, it will be too dangerous if their master level mages notice me looking at them. If it’s just me alone, I won’t care and just rush inside and get whoever seem to be important. But Randy said that it’s best to discuss it first with the others,” I said.

It’s just a bunch of master level mage. I’m an Aura Master. I’m sure I can do it. I can cut magic after all. And if I ride Ray, I will be even stronger.

But for now, we need to be careful. We need to see the bigger picture. Because I’m afraid that if their summoner can use portal to travel between two worlds, they can escape quickly. And they can report everything that has happened to the cult members in our world.

If it’s just killing, that would be easy. I can just stand outside the gate, and swung Victokatana infused with Aura. I’m sure that I can easily slice half of the city. Even if that’s too much, a quarter of the city is good enough. Though I will use up too much Aura and needed rest after that.

But that’s the last resort. We still need to figure out if they are from the cult or not.

“Can you infiltrate the base?” Toni asked me.

“Maybe. I need the black coin that they use as ticket to enter the base. I don’t know if I can trick them by using Blobbies, but I need to be a hundred percent sure first. So I’ll kill someone first and steal their coin. It’s good that we know it’s fine for them to leave for days and camp outside. Even if we kill someone, it will take them days until they found out about it,” I said.

From what I saw before, the group from before carried other medals beside from what was given to them. I guess the owner of those medal died and that group looted those coin.

If we can just kill someone and grab their coin, I guess we should be able to enter the base freely.

“Veronica, Celestine, have you two ever heard of Monsters World from back when you two were with the cult?” Albert asked the two.

For those who doesn’t know about it, like William, Yuria, and Patricia, they were surprised to hear that Celestine and Veronica were from the cult. And I can see which faction William will enter if we let the cult be. He will join Veronica’s faction.

“Nothing at all. We only know about Monsters World because of Roy. But I never had any summoner from my faction. At least there’s none that I remember,” Celestine said.

“Hmm... I remember that there used to be a summoner in my faction. She was only there for a while and then she disappeared. Because I don’t really care about the cult and everyone involved in it, I forgot about her. But maybe all the summoners in the cult has been forced to do other mission even from back then when we still in the cult,” Veronica said.

Maybe they have known about summoner able to make a portal to Monsters World since a long time ago. But is there a need to build a transportation device to the moon if that’s the case? Don’t tell me that they don’t know if Monsters World and the moon is the same. That’s why they think it’s a different place.

The cult wanted to destroy everything. Not just our world. That’s why they will also destroy Monsters World. And the moon is also their target. But they just don’t realize they are the same.

“If they have prepared it for a long time, that means they have a lot of troops. One is to destroy this world, another to destroy Monsters World, and another to destroy the moon. They don’t know yet that two forces are doing the same thing. If they are prepared to attack the moon, that troop should be still in this world. Which mean the force in Monsters World should be the weakest if they divide their force equally,” Toni said.

“For now, how about we capture someone moving outside their base and interrogate them. Maybe capture a whole group instead of individual. If they are from the cult, then it’s easy to decide what to do with them. If they are not from the cult, we will discuss it after,” Albert said.

With that, we decided to capture some of them to interrogate. That means no killing.

After returning everyone, I returned to the monster village first to tell the monsters what to do.

“I want those who are confident in knocking out expert level mages to be the bait. Stay in your werewolf form and let them think that you’re an easy target. When they approach you, knock them unconscious before they can do anything. And although you all will move alone, the others won’t be too far from you. If there are too many enemies or you think that they’re too strong for you, howl and ask for reinforcement. Capture as many of them as possible. Randy and I will move on our own. If you can’t capture them, just kill them. But the more we capture, the more information we can get,” I said.

The mission is to capture. So we just need those who can knock someone out instead of killing them. It’s actually harder for them to do it since they’re not a race that can easily hold back their strength.

“Then I’ll do it!” Shelia volunteered.

“Hmm... I don’t think that’s a good idea. They are looking for monsters they can tame. But you already have a contract with Roy. And if they know that you already had a contract, they will easily figure out that someone with strong summon is in our world. So those who come must not be those who already make a contract with any summoners or tamers,” Randy said.

“Shelia, if you want to come, you can. But you will be with me watching over the others,” I said.

The werewolves then ready to go to that base. Though they will just do their own things. I don’t think we need the werewolves to do anything right now. But it might be a good idea to let them fight some human enemies from time to time.

As for Shelia, she said to summon her when there’s a fight. She won’t come it seems.

We won’t go there with portal to where I installed a Blobby. But we’ll fly there so we can gauge the distance from that base to this village. I think that base is further than the vampires’ castle where I met Arin before. So they could have reached the vampires first.

The vampires over there no longer have Arin as their leader. Though I know they are still loyal to her. And if they know that there’s a big group of humans nearby, they will surely try to attack them. After all, for vampires, human blood is a delicacy. Especially in Monsters World since finding just one is hard.

“Victoria, you can sense where the Blobby we marked, right? Lead us there,” I said.

“Easy. It’s that direction,” Victoria pointed to where the Blobby is.

With Spot and Ray, we can get there soon. And Shelia is riding with me as well so it’s easy if we find something amiss on the way with her sense of smell.

And so I will sleep on the way. It will just be a few minutes but it’s good enough. Although I can stay up for a week without sleeping, I also don’t know how long this will be. And I will probably miss a lot of shows. I hope the circus will be fine without me.
