Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Shelia Faces Powerful Opponent

The Archbishop got thrown down into the ground as we changed location. I don’t want the others to be disturbed by our fight.

The Archbishop didn’t scream at all when I threw him. But I could see from his face that he was utterly shocked that I suddenly moved too fast.

And as he falls down, his head falls first and hit the ground. He lost his consciousness right away.

“...What the hell?! Why are you so weak?! You’re supposed to be a master level mage, damn it!”

I thought that there will be a great battle. Especially after seeing his confidence after knowing that I’m an Aura user.

Maybe it’s not his confidence. It’s his duty. His duty as the Archbishop of the cult to fight whoever on their way at the risk of their own lives.

Still, that doesn’t mean he can just faint after I threw him to the ground! That was so anti-climactic. So stupid.

.....

“...Now what?”

Because I also didn’t expect this to happen, I’m at lost.

But I guess this is fine as well. I have done my job in stopping the Archbishop. Someone who seems to be the strongest among those who stayed in the cathedral.

Why is he so weak? Maybe because he’s the Archbishop.

The Archbishop and those several bishops who were prepared to fight with their lives have never been involved in any real fight after they reached their positions. That’s why their skills and decision-making got rusty. That’s what I think.

I guess I don’t need to help Celestine and the monsters then. They can take care of those bishops.

But it’s surely an unfortunate news. That a whole village is being massacred in just one night. No, it’s dawn already.

It’s the difference in time. When in Monsters World, the location of the base, is night time, here is dawn. Maybe we can guess roughly the location of this place then. I’ll get someone smart to find out about it.

This noon, I already got Andro get close to the base of the cult in Monsters World. But I told him that he needs to be over a hundred kilometers away from the base so he won’t block the sun and only get closer when he heard the howl of the werewolves as the signal. I made the werewolves to stay at different position so Andro could hear them.

From the moment we commenced our plan until now, we only spend about fifteen minutes. But this is a long fifteen minutes.

Anyway, I need to do something first about the fainted Archbishop with a huge swelling on his head.

As expected of a master level mage. His skull is still fine. Only the obvious bump was there. He must be fainted because of the shaking of his brain.

Well, let’s incapacitate him first.

While he’s still unconscious, I put the Magic Restricting Collar on him. He can easily rip it apart as soon as he wakes up. So I need to do something about his body as well.

So I dislocated his joints and break his bones in different places. With this, even if he’s a healer, he won’t be able to fix himself to fight me. Though he won’t be able to use magic thanks to the collar.

What I do might be cruel. But don’t worry. I’m a doctor.

I also make sure to shove a cloth into his mouth so he won’t try to bite his tongue off to kill himself. But I don’t think that biting his tongue will kill him right away since I can easily stop the bleeding. He will feel a lot of pain though. Maybe I will stick his tongue on a lemon to torture him if he try to do it that.

“Alright, it’s ready to be delivered now,” I said.

Then I opened a portal to Albert’s location in his office. He has been resting since yesterday because he knows that he will be used a lot by me from this point.

“Roy, you’re done?” he asked.

“Not yet. We’re on Earth now. You should have listened to Sonia’s report, right? Anyway, this guy is an Archbishop. Make sure to get everything you can from him,” I said.

“He’s the Archbishop Celestine and Veronica told us about?!” Albert asked again.

“Celestine said that this wasn’t the guy who gave her order. Which meant that there might be more Archbishop than we thought. There are also some people called bishops and priests. Though most of them should be dead now. I’ll tell you everything later. It’s not over yet. By the way, we have captured the three summoners. They are with the werewolves and Derek in Monsters World. I’ll take you to them later,” I said as I gave the fainted Archbishop to Mustache.

I then bid my farewell as I close the portal and opened a new one. This time, I’m going to Victoria’s place who should be with Shelia now.

“I don’t need your help! I will fight him alone!”

Right after I opened the portal, Shelia shouted that. Seems like her battle is not over.

“Whoa, Roy! You surprised me! How was your battle? It was over so soon. I have just arrived here,” Victoria said.

“It ended in the most anti-climactic way possible for a fight against a master level mage. When I took him away to change the location, I threw his body too hard on the ground and he fell headfirst. Knocking him unconscious. He’s now with Albert and his body is full of broken bones,” I said.

“Had I know that’d be the case, I would have stayed with Graham and the others. Well, I’ll return now then and see if their fight is over.”

Victoria then leave together with Ray. I guess we’re pretty far if she had just arrive here with Ray’s speed. Maybe Shelia’s fight has moved them further.

Shelia is seriously injured. But that’s only if she’s a human. She’s a werewolf and her injuries are being healed. Even if her healing is slowed down.

As for the man she’s fighting, he still hasn’t given up even though he’s outnumbered. He seems to be in the same mindset as the Archbishop. Someone who support the world destruction plan.

Maybe for this one I’ll capture him instead of killing him. But I’ll let Shelia decide it. If she ended up killing him, well, that’s that.

“Good luck, Shelia! I’m sure you can do it. And you will surely get even stronger after this fight!”

The enemy she’s facing is a real master level mage. At least at this time, he should be stronger than most master level mage who were cultivated by the cult. He’s just a bit weaker than the master level mage who were Aura users ghosts.

Well, that’s obvious. At that time, I heard that battle is common occurrence everywhere. Especially since they are Aura users who can grow by every fight they experienced. Fighting is a must for Aura user to grow stronger.

The only reason I can grow this strong is because I have enemy. The cult. If the cult doesn’t exist, even if I trained to be an Aura user, I would never be able to get this strong.

Shelia and the mage continued fighting. With the mage trying to keep his distance. But since his wind magic is not that high level, he would eventually be caught by Shelia. And that’s when he cast powerful fire magic exploded from his body that would hurt Shelia.

That’s a suicide attack if he’s any weaker than master level. Even I can feel the heat. Wind magic must have been added to that attack.

But he used that magic easily. Without any injury thanks to his affinity with fire.

“That move won’t work the second time!”

Though if she wore the Magic Fishnet Stocking, she won’t even feel the heat.

Shelia forces herself to enter into the center of the explosion and hit him. That’s the only injury that I could see from the mage’s body. Which means that Shelia could only reach him now. And he had used that move before. Probably right before I arrive.

But the mage’s body has been strengthened when he reached master level mage. So even though that one hit was strong enough to probably kill anyone below expert level and could knock out someone at expert level, he could endure it before he tried to retreat and gain more distance.

Shelia chased after him with her fur still burnt from the previous exchange.

She tried to attack from distance but the mage easily dodge them even if he’s slow.

Huh? The way he’s moving is...

“Shelia, if he keep getting further, I have no choice but to interfere! He’s trying to find an opening to retreat!” I shouted.

The mage seems like he has given up on defeating Shelia. Or maybe it’s because I’m here. So he tried to escape.

“Do not butt in no matter what!” Shelia warned me instead.

“I’ll just block his escape route then,” I said as I make my move.

I made sure the he would sense me to where he was retreating. Now that he has no choice but to fight.

“Since I can’t escape, I’ll take you down with me, puppy girl!”

Now the mage chose to fight Shelia.

But as expected, he lacked experience in a fight against someone as strong or stronger than him. He has wasted so much mana that after a few more explosion, he can no longer use Flight magic.

But he’s still obsessed in killing Shelia. So he used the last bit of mana to cast Fireball on her. Which Shelia endured easily.

“That was a good fight. I got stronger thanks to you.”

That’s what she said before finishing him off. And she’s also too tired now and can’t stand anymore so I grabbed her before she falls.

“Good job, Shelia. You can take a rest now,” I said.

With this, the mission is over. We can relax until tomorrow when the cult will find out about the base’s destruction. As for the cathedral and the whole village massacre here, I don’t know when they will know about it. Maybe it’s even sooner.

But whatever the case, we’re done here. Maybe I can finally go back to be a clown.
