769 Given a Mustache as a Proof
After the weretiger was healed, he then instantly tried to attack Shelia again.
No way I will let him do that.
Even if he might be stronger than me, I’m the better fighter. So I blocked his attack, and sweep his legs. Making him fall on the ground easily.
“Just so you know, I became the Werewolf King even though I’m not even a werewolf because I’m the strongest and I was the one who defeated their previous king. You could have won against the strongest werewolf if you attacked her at her weakest after her victory over you, but there’s no way you can defeat me,” I said.
“...Yeah. But in the end, this is my master’s order. To kill anyone suspicious in sight. So even if you bring me back to the Magicless Area, I will still fight everyone. Except if I don’t consider them to be suspicious before he gave me the order. So other than those strong humans in that village and my own kind, I will continue trying to kill everyone,” he said.
“Don’t worry about trying to kill me. I’m much stronger than you. Now, let’s get you back to Magicless Area.”
While restraining him with Blobbyrope, I opened a portal back to near the Magicless Area again. This time, Shelia is too tired and need some rest. So I didn’t bring her with me.
Riding on Ray, it didn’t take long until we returned to the place where we met the weretiger.
“My old village was nearby. Though I don’t think anyone is living there. Anyway, what do you want me to do?” he asked.
.....
“Here. A clone of my Black Slime. Your sense of smell is good, right? If possible, I want you to find the other weretigers and show them this. Memorized the smell of the Black Slime and told them that anyone with that smell is not enemies and don’t attack them. Also tell them that I can bring them to safety. Though that also depend on you as well. But if they want a place where they can fight werewolves, not to the death, I can bring them there. I’d like you to join us fighting against the cult, but I will wait your answer until after I kill your master,” I said. Though I think that I will be the one who found his tribesmen first.
Even if the other weretiger come to the village and help us for a while, they might still be obeying this one since he said that he’s the strongest. So we can only confirm if they want to join or not later after I kill his master and he became a free monster.
Though I still don’t know if they truly desire for a fight or not.
But if they really want a fight, they will end up fighting the werewolves every day. And during big time such as war, they won’t be in any condition to fight because of it.
Maybe if I also became the Weretiger King, they will obey me to not fight too much.
Though I think it’s good for the angels to improve their healing magic.
“Then I’ll go and find my kin. And if you find any, you need this,” the weretiger then plucked one of his cat mustache and give it to me after I released him.
A mustache. A single strand of a weretiger’s mustache. He gave it to me. Though it’s more like he tried to punched me since he’s still under his master’s order.
“This is a mustache. I know Mustache but this is the first time someone presented me with a mustache. What should I do with this mustache?” I asked.
“It’s proof that you have defeated me in a fight. And I acknowledge you as someone stronger than me. If you find any weretiger, just show this to them and tell them it’s from Borsce,” the weretiger said.
“Borsce? Who’s that? Why would someone be named Borsce? Why not just Bors or something easier. Why would anyone always make difficult name for me to remember?”
I complained while dodging his attacks.
“That’s my amazing name! Showing that strand of hair to other weretigers will tell them that I have acknowledged you as someone superior. This will make it easier for them to hear you,” the weretiger said.
“Alright. I’ll tell them that it’s from Borsce. But I will just call you Tiger. It’s easier for me this way,” I said.
“...Whatever you want. You need to leave quickly so I can’t find your trace. If I can still track you, I will have no choice but to keep looking for you,” Tiger said.
That won’t be a problem for me.
After saying farewell, Ray ran at full speed away from Tiger. Now we’re going to look for other weretigers. Though my main mission is still to investigate this Magicless Area.
I checked the former village of the weretigers. Even if they leave, if they have feelings to their old homes, they may be there.
Unfortunately, the timing is not right.
When I got there, I see some traces of humans’ feet. Most likely those weretigers were roaming this place in their human form since normal humans wear shoes.
“But it proves that they came here once in a while. Just the timing isn’t right. Maybe I should have bring at least one werewolf here with me to track the weretigers,” I said to myself.
“Gotta catch every single one of ’em!” Victoria shouted on my ear. She’s a little earring again now.
“What is wrong with you?!”
“I mean we’re collecting monsters, right? So I just feel the need to shout it loud. It’s just like usual. References from my world. You don’t need to care,” she said.
“I care because you were shouting next to my ear!”
But yeah, we’re trying to see if we could find more monsters to gather as our allies. We’re targeting intellectual monsters who can speak and can communicate with us.
Now that I think about it, the cult might have done the same as well. Maybe some monsters feel the same as the cult and wanted to destroy the world so they’re working together.
But in my past life, when I was killed by a monster, I saw the cult were bringing various type of monsters. Not just one. So I guess they might not be the same at all. Or they haven’t used their full force yet.
The more I fight the cult, the more I don’t understand them.
If they even built a city and have already gathered a lot of people, why would they, in my past life, only started the fight much later?
Whatever. As long as I can just destroy the cult, I don’t need to know the answer.
“Well, today has been a long day. Let’s go back home today and rest. Too many things happened today,” I said.
We started this mission in the morning. I brought two agents so they can investigate the city in the middle of the Magicless Area while I investigate the Magicless Area.
Then, I found ten master level mages who trained their bodies. They are about as strong as average werewolves even without magic. And they joined us in the fight against the cult.
Then when I returned to the Magicless Area, I found one of the agent injured badly and returned back home.
And we learned that the other agent was being taken into the city and was being healed by the healer in there. Which most likely to be related to the cult.
Then after I took a nap, I was told to rescue him after two days in case he can learn more things by himself. Though it’s highly likely that he would have died by that time. Either he was killed by the cult or he killed himself with the poison in his mouth.
Next, I found a weretiger. Lured him out of the Magicless Area and brought him to Monsters World to fight Shelia after we asked him what he knew.
He doesn’t knew much about the cult. But we learned that there’s a tribe of weretigers inside the Magicless Area.
Why would a strong and powerful race of weretiger live in that place when they can do many things outside there? I forgot to ask Tiger.
If they were originally from Monsters World because their ancestors were a summoned monsters, then we might be able to learn about the other weretigers in Monsters World. And we can recruit more allies.
It all happened in one day. It’s no wonder that my mind is in a mess.
Let’s get home and take a long rest before going back there again. And by tomorrow, I will probably forget many things that happened today and just focus on what I need to do. It will be just like usual.
Whatever. I’ll write down everything that happened and tell Albert using my phone.
Now, it’s time to sleep.
