757 Where the Cult Sends Supplies From

“The winner is... it’s a draw!”

I got blown away by Angela’s magic. I feel like I lost my consciousness for a second. And when I regained my consciousness, I heard Fabio’s announcement saying that it was a draw.

I thought I was lost. What is this? How did it ended with a draw?

“What the fuck, Fabio?! Why was it a draw?! I was the one who got knocked back!” I shouted complains toward the king of Arturo.

“That’s a proof that you are so close in either winning or losing. Look at Angela,” he replied.

Only then I checked my surrounding. And I see that Angela is there lying on the ground unconscious. Did she got blown away by her own magic?

“That last magic she used, when you tried to cut it, Angela concentrated her magic on the part where your sword met her magic. So instead of getting split, her magic stopped your sword. But you are still too strong. In the end, you managed to split her magic. Probably because she thought that there’s no way for her to win, she exploded her own magic and knock you out. But Angela herself got affected by the explosion and she’s out as well. Turning it into a draw,” Fabio explained.

Is that how it looked like from Fabio’s perspective? Maybe that’s right.

I felt that Victokatana was so close in cutting Angela’s magic. But then I got pushed back, so I used my full strength. I don’t remember much after that so it’s probably true what Fabio said.

.....

I cut down Angela’s magic, and then Angela made her magic exploded. That’s how I ended up losing my consciousness. But she ended up got herself knocked out by the explosion she caused.

This is a friendly match. Not exactly a spar, but it’s still a learning session. But to think that she would do so much.

I thought that she wouldn’t go this far for a match. She said that she wanted to confess to me once she won against me. But in the end, we got together before she could win. So I thought that she won’t go all out again in trying to win against me.

I was wrong. Angela is still Angela. Even if she already achieve her purpose in trying to defeat me without defeating me, which is for us to get together, she’s still that girl who wants to win.

Probably because she successfully used it on the Barbarian King, she thought that she can win against me. She’s right. And if she had put protection magic on herself before exploding her magic, I would be the one who lost.

But from her point of view, she probably thought that unless she put everything on the explosion, she won’t be able to win. That’s why she didn’t protect herself.

And in the end... wait.

I’m the one who stood up first after both of us were knocked out, right? And it felt like it hasn’t been a second after I lost my consciousness. So shouldn’t it be my victory since I stood up first? After all, in a real battle, there’s no such thing as a draw.

“Hey, since I stood up first, I should be the one who won,” I said.

“But it was a draw. Let’s make it a draw,” Fabio said.

“No. There’s no draw in a real battle. And Angela won’t accept such result since she’s unconscious,” I said.

“Fine. You won. Though I feel like you’re just being petty. So what if there’s no draw in a real battle? This is a friendly match. And do you hate it so much that Angela is that strong after she used everything she got? I feel like she’s stronger than you,” Albert suddenly complained.

“Really? Then how about I fight like a normal summoner? What if Graham and Shelia are on my side? And what if I was riding Ray or just let Victoria ride on Ray and fight by my side? I think it’s obvious that someone hasn’t used his full strength yet,” I said.

After I said that, everyone is quiet.

Just me alone with Victoria can defeat forty-nine people before I fell together with the last one. But if I had one other person helping me, this would be an easy win. Especially since I can order them with telepathy.

With this, no one will question how strong I am.

“Wanna fight now?”

I looked at the bodyguard of a king who kept trying to prove that I’m not the strongest. The one who lost against Jewel.

He couldn’t do anything to her. But I defeated Jewel easily. The gap between us is too much.

He looked away from me. He’s afraid to look at me in the eyes. That’s good. Just because you’re a bit stronger than average doesn’t mean that no one can be that strong.

Heck, I feel like he was the weakest among those who fought in the match. Not counting the elves who just play tag with the others.

At least after this, they will train harder. Because they can’t protect anything with the strength they have at the moment.

“Well, I guess that’s it. Or is there anyone else who want to fight?” I asked.

“I think that’s enough. Roy, can you still use portal?” Fabio asked.

“To bring everyone home? That’s easy. I still hadn’t use everything during the fight so I still have quite a lot of mana,” I said.

After that, I brought everyone back to their own country. It was an interesting day today.

I managed to not only entertain people, but also making them realize how strong I am.

But that is not something that they should just be glad. They need to know that even with the strength I have shown to them, we still can’t destroy the cult. We couldn’t even find where the so-called Evil God is.

Some of the master level mages from the cult that we captured or join us told us that when they reached master level, they were asked to pick one out of two choices. One choice is that they will have more freedom of movement for the cult’s benefit. And the other is most likely related to the Evil God.

None of them ever heard about those who picked the other choice. They have never met them after they picked their choice. So they might have died. At least I hope so. That way, we will have less enemies to fight.

The day after the friendly match, Wendy and some other agents will go to other kingdoms to teach them about magic control. At least for the commonly owned elemental. Such as fire, wind, ice, earth, water, light, and healing.

For lightning, summoning, air, taming, or other rare elements, those who will teach other kingdoms have learned the general idea for it. The rest will be up to the mages themselves. Or if possible, they can ask someone with similar element who have learned magic control.

And the day after, it’s the time for Sonia to reveal where the hidden location of where the cult delivered their supplies from to the Monsters World.

There hasn’t been any other movement by the cult to the same destroyed base in Monsters World. Most likely, they are focusing on the base in other parts in Monsters World.

“It’s to the north from Cassau. A place that no average mages can go. Not just because of the monsters, but because no one can use magic in the area surrounding that place,” Albert said.

There’s a place where magic can’t be used? Then wouldn’t it be great if we use that place as a prison? No one will be able to escape from that prison then.

All the way north from Cassau, huh? I don’t think I’ve been there. I haven’t even heard of that place.

Cassau is located around the southernmost part of the continent. Directly next to the ocean. And going north from there... I don’t know. Never been there before.

“There’s a place where you can’t use magic? Sonia, how did you escape from there?” I asked.

“Well, I’m a ghost. But even then, I need magic so I can survive. Still, if I pass through that place where I can’t use magic, I would probably be dead. So I used teleportation to leave that place and go to you. That’s when we met and you told me to inform Albert and the others,” Sonia said.

“That’s right. And hearing from her explanation, we’re sure that it’s over there,” Albert said.

So after she returned, she discussed it with Albert and the others. And they finally confirmed where it is. Is that why they didn’t discuss it right away and wait until they’re sure?

If magic can’t be used, then there’s only monsters and me who is an Aura Master who can go. So they probably had summoners or tamers to check the area.

Although the monsters can’t use magic, like how Spot probably won’t be able to fly over there since he’s flying with magic, monsters are still stronger than humans.

“I had a summoner get his monster travel through that place and place a Blobby and Sonia’s soil in a hidden place over there. So before we attack that place, Roy will bring some agents to scout the area. If you can destroy it on your own, that would be great. But I doubt you can do it alone,” Albert said.

I guess my next mission is to scout the place first. But if it’s a place where magic can’t be used, how come there are mages over there?

What about flying? Can something fly over that place beyond where magic is forbidden? I guess that’s also the part I need to investigate.
