726 Asking Spot’s Family for Help
What a mess.
Two villages, and everyone is already exhausted.
Well, I guess that’s to be expected. After all, from now on, the cult would never let their guard down anymore in front of a fight. And we no longer have any weaklings to fight. Most of the enemies we will be facing are expert level mages or above.
Even worse if they have monsters with them.
As to where the rest of the monsters that the cult has tamed will go to, my guess is in the third transfer points of the three summoners. From the disfigured woman. The lawless country.
An entire country, small it might be, is filled with criminals. Fighting is daily occurrence for them.
And monsters? I don’t know. But maybe the criminals feel safe there since there are monsters around the place. Let’s ask that woman after this.
Right now, I have returned everyone to Monsters World. Back to the destroyed base of the cult.
Except for a few agents I left on the two villages, I brought everyone back and get them to rest. I got some earth mages to build shelter and places to sleep.
.....
Even then, we can’t sleep for too long or the news will be spread to that lawless country too soon. And they will be prepared to receive us.
That would be troublesome. After all, we planned all this to let their guard down. That’s why we’re in a hurry.
So I let the squads for the raid to the Lawless Country to rest. The fight might be even longer than the previous battles.
Also, we asked everyone to help on Earth. Especially Varadis.
We asked old man Henry’s son, who has been doing all the jobs while old man Henry is cultivating and focusing on getting stronger to have longer lifespan, to send the army to surround the lawless country.
They willingly agree since that lawless country has been such an annoyance for them.
I asked them as well if that lawless country has its border to the sea. And the answer is yes.
In fact, that lawless country was founded by a group of pirate. So my guess is totally correct.
We need Spot and his children to help us. And I need to ask Lina to help us by lending us Sunny and Elsie.
With Sunny power, she can absorb water, even if it’s salt water, and get herself big. She will be a huge help with Elsie by her side to watch the surrounding.
This will be a huge battle between monsters.
Should I bring Andro with me as well?
No, he’s too big. Everyone outside that country will be scared when they see a giant dragon flying above them. Big enough to to stomp a city with just his foot.
I asked the disfigured woman if there’s anything I need to know about the country.
“Why should I tell you more? If you have any difficulties in the previous two villages, you don’t have any chance at all to fight in that country. Just go there and die!”
I guess she has gained immunity against me now. She no longer afraid of me. Maybe I can give her pain to let her understand. But I don’t want to spend any more energy on her or any of the three summoners.
“Hey, you over there.”
I called out the guy from the slave trading village.
“What?”
“I met your father. He said that once a disappointment, you will always be a disappointment. He even told me that I can kill you,” I said.
The man is in despair after hearing that. Though my intention is not about him allowing me to kill this man.
“I don’t care about you. And I don’t want to spare anymore energy for you. I just want to tell you about how your father died.”
I then told him how his father died. From how I first shot his hand, to the chase, and to when I cut down his leg. Forcing him to use healing magic on himself, only to let his guard down and got himself wounded even more.
“You know what he did afterward? He was a master level wind mage. He created a powerful and destructive hurricane that destroys everything on the way. He killed a lot of cult members by himself and wounded even more. Helping us in making our mission easier than expected. Even if there were some casualties, it was your father who killed most of the cult members,” I said.
“...And what do you intent to do with telling me that information?” the summoner asked.
“To you? Nothing yet. But at least I know of a plan for that lawless country. I can just force the master level mages in that country to destroy everything. I won’t have to do much to see that country destroyed. So what if that country has more master level mages? Even if they use weaker magic, they can still kill their fellow members of the cult. As an Aura user, I can do that. It’s fine if you can’t tell us anything else. Just know that whether I will win or not, your lives will be forfeit either way. But I’ll make sure that you will experience pain before your death,” I said before turning my back on the three summoners.
The three fell into deeper despair after hearing that. Death is fine for them. but not pain.
I regrouped with Kayla and the others. Including Derek who is with us.
“So, you’ve heard what I said, right? If not, then I will repeat again. One of our plans is to let the master level mages on that side to cast destructive magic to kill everyone there. So those who will come, I guess you all will, have to resolve themselves,” I said.
“Not a problem. Basically, nothing changed. We will continue put up our guard and protect ourselves in case such thing happened,” Kayla said.
Everyone also nodded and said that they agree with the plan if possible. Since that will make it easier for us as well.
Then I asked Derek if he can use any destructive magic.
“I don’t know. I have never used such powerful magic like that hurricane from before,” he said.
“Then do it now. Let’s move to the forest over there and use your strongest magic,” I said.
Then he flew to the forest. All of us just watched from afar.
Derek then cast powerful hurricane magic just like the mage from before. It was quite destructive indeed, but he lacked power. And the scale is much smaller than the mage from before. Just shows how much lacking he is compared to the mage I killed.
“Veronica, if it’s you, you can do that as well, right?” I asked.
“Nope. I can’t use something that destructive. I can create a hurricane smaller than that one, and I don’t think it will destroy much. Though I can make it so the wind will be sharp and still kill many people,” she said.
Yeah. If she focused on making the wind sharper, that’s possible. Which mean if any of the mages in our group reached master level mage, the destructive power we can give will be much bigger. I can’t wait for that to happen.
And truly, I can’t wait. We need to complete the mission soon we have time limit before the people in that country heard of the news and increase their guard.
“I guess we all need to reach master level after this mission is over. Even if it’s just one of us, that would be great. But let’s focus on the battle ahead first.”
I reached expert level in my summoning element quite a while already. Though I only made a contract with Ray a bit later. But after the fight tonight alone, I feel that my summoning is rapidly increasing. Maybe because I used all my familiars in battle.
Once I reached master level in summoning, what will I get other than another contracted monster? Maybe a portal bigger than Andro. That would be great. Though I need something even better.
After Derek returned, I told everyone to take a rest before the next battle.
Meanwhile, I opened a portal to call Spot and ask for his and his children’s help. I also told the kings about the next battle and that I needed Spot, so they can’t ask for our help anytime soon.
I also told them that if there any ghost monsters, Sonia will fight with us. Delivering messages would be difficult. But they agree with our plan.
“So, you need my help to kill sea monsters? Not just me, but my children as well?” Spot asked.
“Yes. Once I’m there, I will quickly go to the sea and open a portal. I won’t be able to enter the sea yet with all the fight on land. So I want to leave it to you and your children,” I said.
Spot might be a hybrid of Sky Serpent and Sea Serpent. But his children are only Sea Serpents. They can’t fly. So it’s best to get them to the sea first.
And unlike Spot, they can’t shrunk in size. So I will need to maintain the portal big enough and long enough for all his children to enter.
“You don’t have to worry about that. All my children now can shrink. Though they can’t shrink as much as I can. We will be on our small form when you bring us there. But once we’re there, I will turn big and carry all my children to the sea. You only need to care about your own fight. As for us, we will enjoy our family time,” Spot said.
His family time is spend by killing monsters? That’s good enough for me. I won’t complain to any family whose hobbies will help me.
Well, that’s the sea taken care of. Not all, but at least Spot and his children are good enough to hold for a while if not destroying them completely.
