780 Chasing a Bird
Graham lead Tiger and Grandpa Weretiger back to the city where they joined the fight. I can see that Tiger is relieving all his pent-up anger on everyone he sees.
Good thing I informed im about the purple cloth. That’s why he avoided to hurt his own allies that he never met.
Grandpa Weretiger tried to fight close to him, but Tiger was too strong and too fast compared to him. So he was left behind and can only clean up after those who didn’t die after getting attacked by Tiger.
As for Graham, he focused on healing the injured people. Though thanks to Sunglasses, there were no major injuries received. So he just supported the others by recovering their stamina and use light magic to attack from distance. He doesn’t even need to create clones to fight.
Everyone has their part in this fight. And everyone is really doing great. Even better than all the previous fight.
Sunglasses who can see with the help of Elsie is too powerful. His orders and leadership ability is already far greater than when he fought Jewel back then. And he keeps improving as the fight goes on.
Maybe I should check on him after this fight. Maybe I can help recover his sight by surgery. Or organ transplant that Victoria told me. Though I don’t know if I should transplant two whole eyeballs to him or just some part.
...Maybe I’ll just test it on the prisoners first before I do it on him. Though I may be too busy after this, so I’ll just ask Sophie who is starting to get better than me to do the research.
Though I need to ask him first what made him blind in the first place. From the look of it, it’s not from birth.
.....
Well, that’s that. I’ll just continue look for more summoners who is trying to escape from here or trying to come here.
As for tamers, now that Tiger has been freed, I don’t need to look for more. The others can take care of it.
“I guess we’ll just watch the fight from here then. Seeing how they can fight almost equally to master level mages, I don’t think they need my help,” I said.
“Oh, let me see. Being able to see things far away is really convenience. Though it’s still difficult for me to focus on everything. You’re watching everyone and everywhere at once. Although I’m supposed to not have any brain, I feel like I will get dizzy,” Victoria said.
When I shared my vision with her, I actually made it so the range of my Divine Vision is less than half of what I usually see. But I guess it’s still too much for anyone who is not used to it.
But even then, this is still Victoria’s limit. But at least I can look around enough to protect everyone.
“You reduced the range of Divine Vision, huh? Well, this is my limit so I guess it’s enough. But this can’t cover everything, right?” Victoria asked.
“That’s why I will move around a lot. I’ll call Ray now,” I said.
The city is big. And the distance from here to the Magicless Area is quite far. So I need to cover a lot of area by myself. To make sure that no one escapes or no one comes here.
Even if it’s already too late and someone else in the cult away from this place already knows thanks to the previous opened portal, I will still do it.
I don’t want the cult members in this place to escape, and I’m going to help the others so that there won’t be any reinforcement coming from the other side. That’s my role as everyone is busy fighting.
Riding on Ray while sharing my vision with Victoria, I checked to see if there’s any other summoners here. Except for the ones on our side. Like the one who is responsible to deliver the captured prisoners to the Magicless Area.
Maybe after this, Albert will ask us to clear the Magicless Area so we can build prison there. And after that, the other countries will ask the same. Along with to investigate if there’s any unidentified city or village near there. Because that’s most likely where we can find more cult members.
I don’t think I can come back to the circus anytime soon. I guess I’ll just ask those new master level mages we recruited to see if there’s anyone who want to join the circus. There might be some who are interested.
We can ask them if they want to travel around the continent and see what has changed after they ignore it for the last century. And I don’t have to worry about Thomas and the others if even just one of them is there.
“Oh, I can see another summoner. This one already has a portal fully open,” I said.
“You’re not going to snipe him?” Victoria asked.
“Not yet. He’s entering the portal to leave this place, while there’s a monster coming in from there. It’s a small bird but it’s quite fast and able to use wind magic it seems. Okay, the monster has left. I’ll kill the summoner now,” I said.
I transformed Victoria into a sniper rifle and shoot a Blobbybullet at the portal where the summoner has just entered. There’s no way he would expect that he would be killed by something from the portal when he the portal was just about to close.
And now, we have a transfer point to the place where he transported to. Though the Blobby is inside his brain, it should be okay since portals usually won’t open directly to where the transfer point is. Usually, it’s about one or two meters away from the transfer points.
After killing the summoner, I stopped sharing my vision with Victoria and only focus on the fast bird. That bird used wind magic to boost its speed.
It was originally aiming toward Sunglasses. Probably because the summoner ordered it to do it.
But now, it’s just flying in the sky trying to escape.
“I want that bird. We have a master level tamer, right? Among the ten master level mages we recruited? Let’s see if that tamer want to tame this bird or not,” I said.
“Just how fast is it? I can’t even see anything,” Victoria said.
“It’s small. And when it used wind magic to boost its speed, it can be almost as fast as Spot or even Ray,” I said.
After I said that, I can feel clearly that Ray is agitated hearing that there’s a faster creature than him. Great.
“Ray, want to race?”
As soon as I said that, Ray galloped toward the bird. Even if it’s high in the sky, Ray is chasing after it.
While everyone is in a life or death battle, we’re up here racing a bird.
A bird I’ve never seen uses wind magic. Even without wind magic, it’s already quite fast.
Surprisingly, that bird can stop midair almost in an instant. Just stopped midair and changes direction.
So when Ray got close to the bird, the bird just stopped and changes direction to avoid my hand that is trying to catch it.
“Wow, amazing! I really like that bird! Victoria, do you know what kind of bird that is?” I asked Victoria.
“Nope. Never seen one before,” she replied.
Among many species that have never been seen, I think that bird species and fish species are have the most. And this bird is something that I have never seen.
While still watching the battlefield, I tried to catch the bird. This bird should be able to pass through the Magicless Area easily. But while still inside there, the bird’s speed would slow down significantly. And that’s our chance.
But as soon as the bird reached the border to Magicless Area, it stopped and return back before it could go any further.
“That bird is smart. I like it even more,” I said.
“And the word ‘Bird Brain’ doesn’t suit that bird either. Anyway, how’s the battle?” Victoria asked.
“The cult has lost many master level mages. It won’t be long until everything is under control.”
And luckily,they found the agent here. Maybe he was in the toilet for so long. That’s why he is still safe.
This time, Ray got close to the bird again. And as the bird stopped and changed direction, I quickly jumped from Ray’s back and captured the bird before it could go any further.
“Got you!”
The green bird didn’t resist at all while it’s in my hand. As if it has given up.
So I just release it.
“You’re going to release it?” Victoria asked.
“...No. It seems like it recognizes its master. Did I just get another monster for me?”
“...You should have been a tamer. Then no one can stop you,” Victoria said.
She’s right. If I’m a tamer, I would be invincible being surrounded by a lot of powerful monsters. Even better if I’m both summoner and tamer.
Well, at least I got a bird. And the fight seem to be over. I grabbed the bird again to make sure that it won’t fly away.
“Let’s group up with the others. The fight is over.”
