Chapter 719

Chapter 719: Delicious Steak

After a while, I have sent everyone here to somewhere they needed to help. Leaving only Kayla and I behind.

Once in a while, summoners would open a portal. But Kayla defeated them before they could do anything.

And I still stay here until I heard that everything is really over. But Sonia hasn’t reported that to me yet.

Rather than that, she asked for more reinforcement. Which we couldn’t handle at the time. So I asked her to ask if there’s anyone free who can help. Including those who have been sent to another place.

I have transported Angela a few times already. From one spot to another. And the others have experienced being transported to help at least two times already. Seems like those places have strong mages guarding it. Stronger than the enemies we have encountered so far.

I even needed to bring back someone whom I have brought to another places a few times. There were some hidden experts over there that the soldiers couldn’t handle.

Maybe because the summoners have summoned their monster to help them. Since we have someone with an Ice Giant, someone with a minotaur, and someone with a two-headed snake, I think t’s natural for those summoners to have powerful monster as well.

.....

The problem other than the master level mage is the summoners themselves. Even if the summoners have been killed, if their monster have been summoned before they died, it will still cause some trouble.

And there might be some problem with compatibility. Like we can’t send mages with incompatible element to fight against the master level mage or the contracted monster with elemental resistance to a certain element.

Though we don’t have much trouble with it.

Oh, someone is opening a portal here again. But a giant fist punched through the portal and blow the summoner away. He didn’t die yet and the portal is still open.

But from the gigantic fist that entered the portal, spikes come out of it and pierced through anything nearby. Good thing our allies are not anywhere near the portal.

“Roy, Randy can’t handle everything on his own. He needed help. Kron, Veronica, and Candy should be free since they are letting the soldiers fight at the moment,” Sonia said after she appeared in front of me.

“I’ll send Kron. Randy is a lightning and earth expert level mage, right? Then Kron who is a wind and ice element expert level mage should be able to cover his weaknesses. If they need fire, contact me later and I’ll send Candy,” I said.

“I think Kron is enough,” Sonia said before she disappeared again.

As for me, I opened two portals to Kron and Randy’s location. Randy is still busy fighting his opponent, while Kron looked at the portal and knows that he was being summoned to help Randy. So he jumped through the portals and helped Randy.

This happened several more times until one by one, the enemies’ base have been taken down.

“We’ve been quite busy even though we’re just sitting here,” I said.

“Yeah. How many places left? Some of them have been taken down already, right?” Kayla asked.

“We have brought down four out of thirteen if we include the place where Sara was sent to. The cathedral in the village where I captured the previous Archbishop,” I replied.

“It hasn’t been that long. I guess we did well then. Even more since we mostly let the soldiers be in charge of the whole situation instead of taking care of it all by ourselves,” Kayla said.

She’s right. There should be at least one master level mage in every location. So we’ve been doing well without sending any master level mage.

From the other places that have been taken down, I brought the soldiers to other locations as well to help with getting rid of the cult members as soon as possible. So it should be soon before we hear the news that everything is over.

Though not everything is over. We haven’t even entered the portal to the three transfer points I got from the three summoners we captured.

I don’t think that we have any need for the summoners anymore. I’ll suggest to Albert to just kill them.

And when I was thinking of him, Sonia appears. Not with the report of the fight. But a question from Albert.

“Roy, do you know any summoners or tamers who made a contract with a minotaur?” Sonia asked me.

“One of the summoners I captured is one. The quiet summoner among the three. What about him?” I asked back.

“I don’t know. I’ll tell Albert about this first. He was talking with Derek,” she said.

Don’t tell me that the one with minotaur is related to slave trading? That might be the case.

Soon after, she really returns and asked me to summon Albert back here.

“What is it?” I asked while I was busy opening a portal from Veronica’s location and Candy’s location so Veronica can help Candy.

“...You seem busy. But I’ll talk anyway. We think that the man with minotaur as his summon is related to the slave trade that Derek is looking for. Please open a portal to get us to meet him,” he said.

“Should I bring you there, or should I get him here?” I asked.

“Just bring us there. With Miguel and the werewolves over there, I think I’m already in a safe place,” Albert said.

“Even if that guy was truly related to the slave trader? Derek, do you think that you can hold yourself back from going wild?” I asked Derek this time.

“That...”

“Just bring that guy here then. Even if the werewolves can attack from distance, they are not expert at protecting me. Even more since I’m not their king,” Albert interfered Derek before he could say anything. He changes his mind quite easily.

Well, it’s obvious that Albert is scared. He won’t be a match against a master level mage who is out of control. Even with Mustache by his side.

But who is Miguel again?

“Yup, it’s safer here. I have more use of you so I can’t just let you stay with someone whose sole reason of living is for revenge. We still don’t know how well he react in a situation where his emotion is unstable,” I said while pointing at Derek.

Derek himself didn’t deny that he might go crazy if that summoner was related to the slave trader involved with his niece or not.

“...You say that but you’re the one I’m the most worried about,” Albert said.

Well, it’s not about me. And the destruction of the cult is something that we all have agreed with. So I won’t just kill everyone out of anger. Even if I do, I should be sane enough to only target my enemies. Just like when Angela was wounded in Rygis.

...Or more like I like hitting individual directly rather than attacking many of them from distance. So even if I’m angry, I would attack my enemies one by one instead.

I opened a portal to the Monsters Village and asked the minotaur’s summoner to come here.

“...Is that beef steak? Where’s the minotaur?” I asked Jack and the others.

“...The minotaur is delicious. My king, you can have some,” Jack said as he offered me the last piece of steak.

“Seems like it was wrong to let the minotaur be summoned in the village. But it’s good that we taught some of the werewolves to cook. This thing is delicious. Let’s hunt more minotaur in the future,” I said after taking a bite of the steak given to me.

I even offered the rest of the steak to Kayla, but she refused. So I offered it to Albert who gladly accepted it while asking me to bring some eating utensil for him.

“Manner comes first,” he said.

“Then you shouldn’t have eaten it after I took a bite from it.”

Albert then asked Kayla to prepare a table for him.

After the summoner I asked entered the portal without any strength in his body and mind, thanks to his minotaur being killed by the werewolves, we waited until Albert finished eating before he interrogate the summoner.

And before we could ask anything, another portal opened. And a summoner together with another mage from the place we’re attacking entered the portal. I could see a triceratops behind the wall on the other side. That’s the place Jewel is, I guess.

Kayla quickly attacked the summoner with Giant Rock Fist again. But the mage with the summoner seems to be a master level mage as he could block Kayla’s attack.

Seeing the fight, Mustache quickly protecting Albert while also casting Wind Slash to the enemies. The master level mage dodged it but the summoner died.

The portal then closed and the master level mage is still here.

“...Just what the hell is going on?!” he shouted.

“Your doomsday.”

When the master level mage focusing on us to see what was happening, I took out Blobbygun. With my air magic compressed to the limit, combined with my Aura to make the Blobbybullet more fatal, I shot the gun toward the unprepared master level mage.

The bullet was so fast and so strong. And the fact that he was unprepared made it easier for the bullet to pierce through that powerful body from reaching master level mage. Creating a hole the size of a head on his chest.

This might not be my strongest attack. But this is my fastest attack since I just need to pull the trigger. And I have gotten used to compressing air so much that it didn’t take long before the gun was ready to shoot.

I thought that it would be rare for me to use a gun on master level mage. But if it’s at this level, it should be fine to use it. Nice.
