729 Another Archbishop?
All the children I can see have been moved away to a safe place. But now, the one they called as the Barbarian King, the king of this lawless country and also probably the strongest person here, made his move.
With my Divine Vision, I can see that he was talking with someone that wears the same garb as the previous Archbishop I captured. Is that another Archbishop? Why is there so many of them?
Maybe each Archbishop lead different factions. I will know more later after Albert finished his interrogation with the captured Archbishop. Though I don’t think I will care much about it. But as long as I can destroy the cult, everything is fine.
While I was checking on the Barbarian King and the Archbishop, those two also looked at me at the same time. Obviously, they couldn’t see me. There are walls obstructing their view, and the don’t have any see-through vision. But they know that I’m looking at them.
“Roy, is the Barbarian King over there?”
Before I made my move, Angela approached me and asked me about the Barbarian King’s whereabouts.
“That’s right. He’s with someone who might be the Archbishop of the cult. Do you want to challenge him?” I asked.
“Yes. He’s the strongest one here, so I want to see how strong he really is. But I don’t think I can fight well with so many people here distracting me,” she said.
“Okay, we... let’s stop it for now and dodge. There are other master level mages here using powerful magic. Let them kill their own people first.”
.....
I was about to say that we fight each one of them. with Angela fighting the Barbarian King and I fight the Archbishop. But another big magic is coming from different master level mage. So we needed to dodge it first.
This time, it’s just a huge earthquake that split the earth. And since most of us dodged the ice magic by flying, we’re already safe in the sky. But that’s only if it’s a normal earthquake.
After the earthquake, giant needles coming out of the ground trying to stab us. But we just need to fly higher.
But then a master level wind mage was about to cast powerful wind magic. Fortunately, Candy was there to kill him first. She was prepared to intervene the master level mage.
Many expert level mages of the cult died. And some of our soldiers died as well. But that means only the strong ones are left.
The werewolves happily fight anyone they see. Monsters or humans, only the strong ones are left.
As for the sea, some of the frozen area was no longer frozen. Because one of Spot’s children is smashing his body to a giant dolphin and and the dolphin crashed on the ice. And Spot himself jumped to the sky to chase after a flying whale and shoot a breath attack that destroyed the ice. And some of the frozen monsters as well.
It was intense in the water as well. I’m glad that I met Spot and get him to be our ally.
And then I can see a lot of orcas approaching from the sea. It seems like they’re also tamed monsters.
Only one orca was different. It has a pink spot on its black head. And it acts like the leader of the orcas.
“That’s a lot of orcas! It’s an orchastra!” Victoria said.
“You know what? Shut up. Enough with the stupid pun.”
“Roy, I’ll help Spot and the others. You don’t mind if we leave you, right?” Victoria suggested.
“Be careful then.”
I jumped off from Ray’s back as both Victoria and Ray left me to help Spot and his family.
How many orcas were there? I think it’s more than three hundreds. I don’t think the cult has too much time to tame that many orcas. So it must be only that orca with pink spot who acted as the leader.
“Sunny! Elsie! You both go to the sea, absorb water to make Sunny bigger, and support everyone! Elsie will watch everything and give Sunny a target. Support everyone in the air, land, or water!” I said to both of Lina’s contracted monsters.
I think it should be soon that Lina reached expert level and gained another monsters. The Elf Queen is not much of a help in battle.
Sunny and Elsie are the monsters I brought here with Lina’s permission. They are slow, and if Sunny turns big, she will only be a big target.
But that’s only if the enemy outnumber us.
Thanks to their master level mages used powerful magic to kill as many people as possible, most of the enemies are dead. Leaving only the strong ones.
And those strong enemies will be busy fighting us since we no longer have to focus on weak enemies. That’s why Sunny can freely turn big.
Not only her magic attack is powerful. She can also use her vines as tentacles to not only attack or restrain enemies, but to be used as foothold as well for those who can’t fly well.
And for that, Elsie is instructing her how to move and where to attack. Those two have perfect teamwork.
Now... I’d like to say that we have outnumber the enemies, but I’m wrong.
Just like that orca, there are other monsters here. The cult probably only tamed the leader of a certain species, so other of the same species would follow them. Just like how I get the angels. By making a contract with Graham.
As for werewolves, I won the fight fair and square. I’m their king.
And I look around to see that almost all expert level mages here were dead. Which means that the tamers are among the master level mage here. And that make things difficult.
Though so far, I didn’t see any summoner among them. I think that’s a good news.
But if the tamer is the Barbarian King, it will be hard to stop the monsters. Even then, we still need to kill the monsters. Because unless they are smart creatures we can negotiate with, they will continue to fight everyone here.
I guess it’s an all-out brawl from here on out.
“Angela, you can fight the Barbarian King. I will fight that one that look like an Archbishop. Veronica, come with me for a bit and check if that Archbishop is someone you know or not.”
I gave the order, and everyone moves. Both us and the enemies. With a giant serpent wrapping its body around a giant electric eel at the background.
Damn, monsters are scary! And sea monsters are far scarier since only limited people can fight them underwater.
But once they’re outside of water, many can fight them.
The werewolves approached the serpent who can’t seem to kill the electric ell by tightly wrapping its body around the eel. In fact, it was the serpent who got hurt. So the werewolves come and finished the eel off.
And although the werewolves can’t fight that well underwater, they can still fight. So they only fight monsters who surfaced or near the surface of the sea. They are so amazing. I’m so glad that I became their king.
I can leave the sea to them. As for the sky, we already have many flying mages and monsters. And the land is good as well. So we will face the boss.
“Angela, if you win, you can actually be a queen of a country, you know?” I said to Angela who is flying beside me toward the place where the Barbarian King and the Archbishop are.
“Then as a queen, what do you think I should do?” she asked.
“Either you can give up your territory to Varadis, or continue as the queen of this country. Though after we killed so many people, it’s best to just give Varadis this place. They can take care of the rest,” I said.
“Then I will do that. I don’t want to be a queen,” she said.
“Even though I’m a king?” I teased her.
“That’s the only role of a queen I accepted. Though if you’re a king, I guess you will have concubines as well. If being a queen force me to do some paperwork, then make me your mistress instead,” Angela said seriously.
“...I’m just a king of the werewolves. Not a king of a country. You won’t have any duty at all once we get married other than being my wife. And probably as mothers of our future children as well,” I said.
The two of us decided to continue this conversation later as we move toward the Barbarian King’s place. Followed by Veronica who will look at the Archbishop.
And as we get closer, the Barbarian King and the Archbishop left their place and greeted us.
“Is this how an Aura user and the one called as the strongest mage in the continent act? To come in uninvited and destroy everything?” the Archbishop asked.
“That’s what you do best, right? You’re part of the cult whose goal is to destroy the world. I don’t know why the Barbarian King join you guys,” I said.
“Wait, you’re trying to destroy the world?!” the Barbarian was shocked by the revelation.
“Is that matter right now? We have enemies to face. Fighting comes first. You take care of that champion of the tournament, and I will take care of the Aura user. We’ll talk later,” the Archbishop said.
“But you won’t have any chance to talk after this!”
I quickly grabbed the Archbishop’s head, jumped, and threw him far from the Barbarian King. I acted after hearing Veronica’s confirmation that she doesn’t recognize this Archbishop and she left us to fight other people.
This time, I thought that the Arcbishop will be knocked out like before. But instead, he stood on his ground after being thrown.
Well, I guess it’s a fight then.
