Chapter 725 - 725 The Second Village Cleared

725 The Second Village Cleared

The ghost Sonia used a sword made by spiritual power. I don’t know what that is.

There’s magic, and there’s Aura. And there’s another thing called spiritual power?

“What is spiritual power?” I asked Sonia.

“I don’t know. I called it that way since it’s different from Aura and magic. And I can only use it fairly recently. Whatever the case, with this, I can fight other ghosts. Let me handle the ghost,” she said.

“Did the ghosts appear before, or do they only appear this time when I came here?” I asked her again.

“They only appear now. If they appeared before, I won’t come when you called me since I would be fighting them.”

“One more thing. They tamed ghosts. Does it mean that ghosts can actually fight living beings?” I asked Sonia again.

If ghosts can really fight living beings, she would be a great help. But she’s already a big help as it is. Being our messenger. There’s no one else like her.

Maybe I can move all to other location as fast as she can using portal. But I’m already way too busy as it is.

.....

So even if she can fight living being, I want her to do her original job as messenger instead. I prefer it that way so I won’t have to travel everywhere many times in one day.

Though for now, it’s best to leave the ghosts to Sonia. This way, I can focus on other people.

“By now, I can lift something like a real sword easily. Using it to fight living beings can be done. But I will leave the problem of fighting other living beings to you guys. I’ll fight any ghosts that will appear,” she said.

“That’s great. I will leave them to you then.”

The ghosts here seem to be able to fight us humans. And unlike Sonia, the ghosts are no longer had their humanity.

I heard from Sonia that when she trained in Monsters World alone, she learned that if she lost all humanity left in her, she would be a mindless ghost that would attack anyone. I guess that’s what happened to these ghosts.

Though she could manage to keep her humanity thanks to being surrounded by her harem even after death. That’s ridiculous. But as long as it works, it’s fine.

The mindless ghosts are scary. They have long arms with huge claws. They don’t have legs and just float. And they’re translucent. Sometimes completely invisible. It will be hard for even Angela to fight them.

In fact, I don’t know what kind of magic will be effective against ghosts. Maybe we should learn more about it.

But we have Sonia here. She might have died for over a thousand years already. But she was still an Aura user who trained in sword. She can fight some ghosts.

Though I think they have more ghosts than I expected. I don’t think Sonia alone can defeat them all. Let’s add someone to help then.

“Victoria! Go and help Sonia! You two old-timers can go and cooperate together!” I said.

Since Victoria can use Aura with the help of Ray, it should be fine.

But now that Victoria will help her, I will need to make sure that no one is escaping from this place.

The one who has been doing that before I arrive here was Kron and Wendy. Wendy is not as strong as Kron because of a huge difference. Breezy. Breezy is with Kron.

So, Wendy could only try to kill the slower ones who are trying to escape. As for Kron, he even caught up with some master level wind mages who boosted their speed with fire magic.

Even then, Kron won’t be able to catch up with everyone. So I need to kill the rest.

There are not only wind mages who are fast in running away. Some mages are riding fast monsters to escape. There’s one with a wyvern. He’s a master level ice mage as well. But he’s not a tamer.

“Go ride any monsters for help! They are aiming for tamers! Whether you’re a tamer or not, confuse them by riding a monster! As long as the tamers are still alive, the monsters will not help them to attack us as well! We shouldn’t increase the number of the enemies!”

He’s smart. But unfortunately, after he gave that order, Wendy killed him and his wyvern using fire magic. With improved firepower thanks to her wind magic.

But the others still follow his order. Now it will be difficult to kill everyone since they’re all spread out.

Good thing Angela and Veronica are here. Randy is here as well so he could catch up with some slower enemies.

Graham is also very fast compared to their expert level wind mages. And the werewolves will never let go of the prey they have targeted.

Soon after, everyone realized that escaping is impossible. Whether through he sky, land, or ground. So they stopped trying to escape and chose to fight back instead.

Is it better now? As long as their master level mage won’t cast destructive magic, it should be fine.

So, I need to focus on master level mages first.

...Is what I thought. Kron, Angela, and the werewolves already targeted them first. I guess I’ll take care of the leftover while making sure that everyone is okay.

How’s Sonia and Victoria doing?

The ghost seems to be stronger than expected. It’s good that we have two people... monsters who can fight ghosts. Those ghosts are far too powerful for ordinary mages to fight.

Not that they’re really strong. Any magic coming toward them, they can ignore them since those magic will just pass through. And those who tried to have to be really careful so there won’t be friendly fire in case their magic pass through the ghosts.

There is only one more ghost to defeat. And both Sonia and Victoria attacked it together with similar swordsmanship. I guess that’s to be expected since they both learned from the same master.

“Alright, that’s done,” Victoria said.

“I’ll scout the area to see if there are other ghost monsters,” Sonia said as she flies away.

“That was amazing. Now let’s take care of the rest,” I said.

With the master level mages busy, they don’t have the time to cast extremely destructive magic. So it wasn’t hard to kill them.

Some tried to do it. But I shot Blobbyguns at them to disturb their concentration. Though some shots managed to kill some master level mages.

There are powerful monsters like dragons here. But with how the werewolves work together to defeat them one by one, the dragons are not much of a problem.

Even though the werewolves love to fight a one on one battle, that doesn’t mean that they won’t cooperate together. For a really big monster, they can do it.

I thought that the cult would have even stronger monsters than these. I know that the ghosts and the dragons were a bit of problem for us. But we can handle them.

If they have been taking monsters from Monsters World for a while, I thought that they would have even stronger monsters. Maybe even something comparable to Andro.

If that’s the case, where would they hide such monsters?

...I know the answer. Now that I think about it carefully, if such monsters exist, they would be able to hide somewhere most people won’t see.

They might be underwater. I need to get Spot and his children to scout the ocean and see if they have strong monsters under the sea that shouldn’t be there.

Wait! What about the lawless country that we’re going to attack after this?! Is it close to the sea?

I need to get more information. If it’s close to the sea, I need Spot to come.

The only human who can fight underwater other than me would be Carmen. But she’s just an expert level water mage. And she lacks killing power when fighting enemies underwater. That’s what she said.

Maybe that’s it. They can search for sea monsters, tame them, and get them under the sea.

Sea monsters are well-known to be small when they’re born, but their growth doesn’t seem to be limited. They can grow even after years of living. Unlike humans whose growth normally stopped around the age of 20.

Maybe that’s another reason why it take so long in my past life for the cult to finally move with their goal. To wait until the monsters grow to become so big and can destroy countries after countries.

The battle I was involved was on land. So I don’t know anything about those fighting near the sea. But I might be right.

I guess I should dive into the sea more often. And I need to kill monsters however small they are. Or just find the tamers and kill them.

I look around and I can see Angela finally killed the last enemy in this place. Everyone is exhausted after fighting non-stop. We need some rest.

It should be 12 hours before some summoners come to Monsters World to bring supplies to the destroyed base. Can we get enough rest before we attack the lawless country and return back to Monsters World to wait for those summoners?
