868 Days Like This Happened Too Often

It’s been a month since I got Crabbe as my familiar and created a water tunnel under the lake in the Monsters Village to the sea. And so far, we didn’t gain much in our investigation of the cult leader’s location. The so-called Evil God.

The Evil God was supposed to be the one who hated Aura users and targeted them all. But now that he should know that we have someone who can use Aura, he should be looking for me. But so far, the cult has been very quiet.

It’s as if he doesn’t really hate Aura user. Then it must be as I guessed. He only killed Aura users to improve his strength.

We were only taught five level of magic. Beginner level, intermediate level, advanced level, expert level, and master level.

But on our journey to the cult’s destruction, we learned another level beyond master level. And after gathering as many information as we could, we guessed that the Evil God is already beyond that level beyond master level. And killing Aura users is probably one way to reach that level. It’s just a guess though.

And so, we are gathering together this time in Consenza. This is our monthly meeting. Though we will gather whenever we learned another important information. Either it’s about the cult, or about how we can get stronger. Or other things that can help each other countries.

This is the first time that the continent is united after all. Though we still don’t know who the real enemy is, but we can do something to improve the relationship between countries.

In my past life, no such thing happened. There were probably only a few countries working together. But now, almost all the countries in the continent is here. Though maybe they did in the past. But just like today, not many people know about it. Only those who are directly involved knew.

Well, whatever the case, we are already stronger than in my past life. Even Mustache and his Flamboyant Mustache troop is much stronger than in my past life. Even a few weeks ago, Mustache reached master level. And most of the members of the troops are expert level mages.

.....

Then there’s also Randy. I think he will soon reach master level in his earth element. It’s great that we got the help of spirits.

And surprisingly, Veronica who said that she’s lazy in her cultivation will soon reach master level.

I guess we have been living in peace for a while so we didn’t need as many people to fight as before since there’s no big battle so far.

In this past month, the cult didn’t do anything. But some investigation members found several small cities and villages that has been under the control of the cult for a while. So we cleaned up those places.

We also found a port city that has been under control of the cult. That’s when we tried to see how good the Crab People are in fighting.

There’s no strong mages at that time, but there were some tamers who tamed sea monsters. And Crabbe and the other Crab People easily defeated them all. Without having me to intervene.

As expected. They are stronger in a group. And they fight better than Spot and his children in a group battle. Though for individual battle, Spot and his children are still the better one.

I heard that Spot challenged Crabbe in an underwater fight. The result was Spot’s victory. But when he had to fight three or more Crab People, Spot barely won. That’s when he stopped increased the number because he knew that he would lose then.

Hearing the result of the Crab People’s fight, some suggested to let the Crab People stay in the sea on Earth instead of staying in Monsters World. But then we rejected that idea in the end.

“This world is too big for a small number of Crab People to protect. So we can’t do that,” I said.

Though we got one other good thing after we got the Crab People’s loyalty. The master level tamer.

He then ventured on his own with his horse to look for sea monsters by himself. Though in the end, the Summoner and his centaur accompanied him. I guess they are close.

If he could get as many monsters as possible, that would be great. And we also gained an assurance that he won’t ever tried to rebel against us again. He promised to only use those monsters to fight against the cult.

And back to the meeting, we’re considering our next action.

“So, we can only wait until they make their move. But do we really need to wait?” Fabio asked.

“We can bait him using Roy. He’s an Aura Master, so if the Evil God is targeting him, then we can just lay in ambush. But if he’s really the same Evil God as the one who killed all Aura Users in the past, and he has lived for a long time, he won’t be that stupid to be baited. But do we have any other options?” Albert suggested.

The future has changed greatly from my past life. There’s nothing we can do. Even the strong people who could be our allies might end up never being born in this world. And all the cult’s movements so far were mostly never happened in my past life. So we can only wait. Or use something to bait the Evil God.

“If they started investigating me, then they would find out where I live, where I went to school at, and my job as a clown. Since I mostly staying in Cassau, then if you want to use me as a bait, you need to make a fort in castle to improve the defense of the city. To make it easier for us to defend against the cult,” I said.

“But if we focused so much in one city, and it’s not even the capital city, they will be suspicious. They will send some people here, but they would realized that other cities’ defenses are weaker since we are focusing on one city. This will be difficult,” Randy said.

Yeah, we have no idea on what to do. And if we are told to wait, we don’t know how long we will wait.

“Then for now, just like usual, try to improve your strength first. Whether it’s in magic, medicine, or whatever it is,” old man Henry said.

It’s hard. Even after this far, we still don’t know who the leader of the cult is.

I wish that I can live in peace. But when the cult is still exist, my heart will never be at peace. So I really want to destroy them soon.

But it’s hard. Even after many things changed, I saved many people, and everyone is helping each other, we don’t know anything about the cult.

Then, do I have to infiltrate the cult? Pretending to join them?

I think that’s a good idea. But unfortunately, my heart won’t be able to calm down just by the thought of me pretending to be with the cult.

And I’m also a master level summoner. A really young master level summoner. They will be suspicious of me if I join them.

“I’m sure that some of the kings here have asked their people to infiltrate the cult. To disguise themselves as a member of the cult to get more information. But you never talked to me about it because you know how much I don’t want anyone among us to be involved with the cult. So, any news from them?” I asked.

Hearing my question, the kings looked at each other before Albert answered.

“...Some managed to join them. But most of the people we send were killed because they found out that those people were agents. And those who joined, we never heard anything from them anymore,” Albert replied.

“They might have been brainwashed and told them everything. Those people are not anyone who knew my identity, right?” I asked.

“Don’t worry. I never told those people about you or even the alliance. They are people who we never tell any secret to and extremely loyal to us. We never told them much about what’s happening with the kingdom so they will know less about it in case we send them to an infiltration mission. I’m sure you will be safe. Even if they have to speak the truth to the cult, they will only tell that I sent them on a mission and never anything more other than what most civilians know,” Albert said.

But we have no information coming from them. Though seeing at everyone’s reaction, I guess they shared this information with each others. Only leaving me behind.

“Then there’s nothing we can do but wait until someone finds out about something new, or the cult make their move. Let’s just hope that they won’t get too strong before they make their move,” I said.

And so, the meeting is over. We will meet again next month or when something important come up.

So, I will find a way to get myself stronger. Maybe I will try to reach the stage beyond master level in my summoning element. Then I could have more familiars.

...It happened many times, right? That there’s nothing for us to do? So troublesome this cult is.
