Chapter 823 - 823 One Week Later

823 One Week Later

One week already passed without Kron reaching master level yet. It took one week without seeing any result. But we will continue waiting patiently and protect Kron.

In the past week, I didn’t always stay there. I would return back to the circus whenever we stopped at a city to perform. I can do that because it’s not like everyone needs my protection at all time.

Everyone is working hard so that they won’t need my protection all the time. And even if I’m not there, if they need anything, they can ask Andro to do something about it. Using his intimidation, doing a flip, or whatever he can do, he can protect everyone anyway. Though he hasn’t been asked to do anything yet.

It’s good that his back is a good place for wind mages to breakthrough. If it’s other elements, then we will stay in a place without moving and only have ourselves to rely on.

So, when the others are breaking through, it will be harder than what we’re currently experiencing while protecting Kron.

And if it’s Carmen, a water mage, then we might need to let her breakthrough to master level underwater. And there’s not many of us who can fight underwater. Probably just me, Spot, and Spot’s children.

If even Kron needs a long time to reach master level, what about the others? He’s good since he’s in a place where we can protect him and there won’t be many powerful enemies. But what if it’s Kayla? Celestine? Candy?

Then what about Angela? She will breakthrough all her four elements. No, they are already fused into one element. She might take the longest to breakthrough later.

Where is the right location for her to do that? And when she’s the one who will do it, we have to stop all our operation just to protect her.

.....

At this time, the kings can still ask other agents to do something. But for Angela, someone who will be the strongest mage in our group, to breakthrough, she might lure every dangerous creatures to go for her. And we need more people than ever.

Especially the most dangerous creature. Humans. Even more if those humans are with the cult.

Well, for now, it’s Kron’s turn. And we can still rest easy with the monsters coming since they are not that strong and everyone can protect him.

When I left for the circus, Victoria stayed behind. And she’s riding on Ray as she helped kill many monsters. And that helped me a lot to reach master level in my summoning element.

The master level summoner said that I need to fight strong monsters barehanded when I want to reach master level. But before that, I need to fill my experience first so that I can start doing it. And before my experience point is filled, even if I try to do it, I won’t ever be able to reach master level.

At this time, everyone is fighting. So I can just do nothing while the experience is slowly being filled. Having four familiars, seems like I need to get more experience than what the master level summoner needed back when he reached master level summoner.

Victoria and Ray is teaming up since Victoria needed Ray so she can use Aura. Shelia is fighting almost all the time. While Graham, although he’s focusing more on healing the injured people, he also helped fighting some monsters when he has the time. So everyone is helping me get experience. But I don’t know how much more I needed to reach master level.

And tamer is similar as well. Us summoners and tamers won’t take time when we’re trying to reach master level. But while the other mages needed to breakthrough by meditating, we need to fight.

“Good job as usual, Roy. We will continue our tour in two days and will probably reach the next city in five. You’re going back to Monsters World?”

Burnes asked me after the last show in this city is over. The others are going to prepare to leave and move on to the next city. But as Burnes said, I will return back to Monsters World.

“Yes. I want to witness someone reaching master level. Also, how about the agents who witnessed Kron who is trying to breakthrough? Have you heard anything from them?” I asked.

The cult has a lot of master level mages. and from my experience of witnessing Kron trying to breakthrough to master level, the effect in the surrounding area must be quite large. And that means the cult have a really big territory where they can attempt to breakthrough. And the location is not anywhere that we have gone to before.

I asked the agents to experience the fluctuating of mana from Kron’s meditation. Because each time, a mage trying to breakthrough, from beginner to intermediate, from intermediate to advanced, from advanced to expert, and from expert to master level, the quality of mana in the surrounding is different. So the agents who experienced it will try to find any location where they could feel the same.

“They haven’t found any. But using this trick might be better than looking around aimlessly. If we decide where our people can attempt to breakthrough, then we just need to look for other place that are not our designated location and have the agents investigating those places. By the way, how about you? You helped everyone trying to breakthrough before. But I have never heard of anyone helping you trying to breakthrough. You’re also an air mage, right? An expert level one at that. So you must have needed some protection,” Burnes asked.

“I did it in Monsters Village. Everyone is happy that I tried to do it without asking the humans for help. So that the werewolves can have all the enemies for themselves,” I said.

And as an air mage, the fluctuating mana doesn’t seem to be that much difference than normal air. So no one would imagine that someone is actually attempting to breakthrough. This is something I know after I returned to the past. In my past life, I know no such thing at all.

And when I attempted to breakthrough, there weren’t that many monster waves. So the werewolves were quite disappointed. Even the monsters who came are not that strong. They are just more sensitive to the atmosphere around them.

“Must be great to be close to you. For us to reach expert level, we can’t just ask you to help easily. Because we’re also considered as our kingdom’s army even though we mostly did things behind the scenes. We have our prides. So we can’t just ask you to help us breakthrough. There are other reason but you don’t need me to tell you that, right?”

Burnes is right. I don’t need him to tell me why he won’t ask me for help.

It’s so that they can be independent.

I have said it before, and I will keep saying it again in the future. I have no more plan after the cult is destroyed other than having a peaceful life. So if the kingdoms can take care of their problem on their own, that would be perfect.

After I bid my farewell to Burnes and the other circus members, I returned back to Monsters World. To Victoria’s location. Who is actually moving around quite a lot because there are more monsters than before.

So right after I opened the portal, Victoria who actually noticed it didn’t care and just fight the monsters while riding on Ray’s back. And I who entered the portal just free falling to the ground since we’re already quite a bit away from Andro’s back.

And before any monsters could enter the portal, I closed it.

“Oh, everyone is busy. Even though it’s night, the monsters still coming in waves,” I said while free falling.

I can just walk or run on air. But I want to check the ocean underneath us to see if there’s anything wrong with it. So I just let gravity to its job.

Everyone who was flying was shocked when they see that someone is falling. But when they realized that it was me, they returned their focus back to the monsters they are facing.

Does that mean they put so much trust on me? Or do they wish for my demise? I don’t think they want me dead, so they just have a lot of trust in me.

I checked the ocean and see that nothing is wrong around. I thought that maybe if the cult has a sea monster who noticed us, they would ask the monster to follow us closely. But I didn’t see anything that is chasing us at all. So I guess we’re fine from the cult.

As I opened another portal to Victoria’s location, this time, I didn’t let myself free falling to the ocean. I just run and sat on Ray’s back. With Victoria sitting in front of me while fighting monsters.

“Anything strange when I’m gone?” I asked Victoria.

“Except the fact that the master level tamer turned crazy after taming so many monsters? Everything is normal?” Victoria said.

So the problem is not the monsters moving toward Kron. But it might be the tamer who is the problem.

Well, let’s see if I can do something about it.
