Chapter 721: Raiding Two Villages
Finally, all target locations has been taken care of. Most of the troops will stay there and some will be returned here with me.
After hearing Sonia's report, I told her to relay a message saying that Angela and the others needed to be returned here. And for those who somehow managed to capture the summoners and master level mages, they needed to be brought here as well.
Only about half of the soldiers and agents from each location were brought here. They're all tired from just raiding those places while Angela and the others who have been moved from one place to another, they didn't seem tired at all.
Except for Randy. It seems like he's still not as strong as the others yet.
Well, that's natural. He only learned about magic control for a few months while the others have learned it for years. But I heard that he made a lot of progress.
"Well, is this everyone? Albert, should I return you back now?" I asked Albert.
"Later. Can you open a portal to Ian's location? He should be in the palace since I asked him to do miscellaneous stuffs. I'm going to ask him to get the servants cooked something to reward these people," he said.
.....
"Then I want you to prepare something for the werewolves, angels, and the vampires to receive as well. Hearing about rewards, they will get even more motivated to do the mission," I said.
"Sure. But the vampires part should be your job since you're a doctor. Go ask the hospital to prepare a lot of blood bags."
Thanks to the blood bag, many people who got injured badly could recover. And hunters feel at ease knowing that the chance of survival from bad injuries increased. Though it's not just them.
Even commoners feel good knowing that there's a method to increase the chance of survival. Especially for those whose job is prone to get into an accident. Like carpenter or miner.
As long as they can be taken into a hospital, they have a chance to survive. And they don't need to ask for a healer to heal them for a high price. The commoners don't have that much money. Though getting blood transfussion is not cheap, it's still cheaper than asking healer to heal.
And thanks to the blood donation system as well, more people are willing to donate their blood. They didn't earn a lot of money doing it. But it's still enough for them to last a few days when they don't have a job.
And the more blood donated, the more rewards we can give to the vampires. Though their most sought after blood is mine. After my blood, it's master level mage's blood. And then expert level and so on.
But thanks to being an Aura master, my body can produce blood faster than mages. So now I can donate blood once every few days if possible. Though since I received this mission and stayed in this world for a while, I couldn't donate my blood in a while.
But it's still not a problem for me to give one or two blood bags as a reward for the vampires who took this mission. Even if it's just one sip, they would enjoy it.
Though now that I have brought the blood bags here, only the Vampire Queen, Arin, has no interest in it. She prefers to suck my blood directly. But that does make it easier for me to reward her later since I don't need to prepare anything.
The other vampires should be interested in drinking my blood directly as well. But they know that they're no match against Arin.
We had a meal in front of the confused summoner and Derek. They think that it's weird that we're having a meal right before we started a fight.
During all this, I also drunk some Mana Potions. I have used portals many times tonight and will probably use it a few more times. Everyone also drunk some potions. After all they were fighting ferociously before.
After Albert gave some speech of encouragement to the soldiers, I returned him back to the palace. And then we rested for one hour before we make our move to the two villages where the church of the cult were built.
I also brought here the other two summoners. With only one of them, the disfigured woman, has a familiar left.
Randy and Kayla approached the two summoners who no longer have any contracted monster left and asked them about what they knew about the two villages. As for the lawless kingdom, that's for later. After we finished with the two other places.
"So, how should we split the forces?"
After questioning the summoners and didn't get much since they have been staying in this world for too long, Kayla asked me how I will split the forces.
"One of the village is related to slave trading. Derek over here, the master level mage from the cult that I managed to recruit, is going there to kill everyone there. And I will also go there to watch over him.
"As for the monsters, the vampires will come with me while the werewolves will go to the other village. The angels will split in two and go to both places. One group will be under me and the other will be under Graham in the other village. As for the rest, you can discuss it with Kayla since you two seem to be the smartest ones here."
The places we're going to, even though there's just churches there, doesn't mean that there won't be any bishops or archbishops. Maybe the two places are even more dangerous than the place where I caught the Archbishop from before.
From the information that we got from these summoners, that might be the case.
Even though it's just churches and not cathedral, the two places seem to have more master level mages.
One hour passed and everyone has been split into two groups.
One is with me, Derek, Kayla, Angela, and Veronica. Victoria, Ray, and Arin are with me here. The vampires and half of the angels will come with me as well.
The other is with Kron, Graham, Jewel, Randy, Wendy, and Candy. That's a lot of -ndy. The werewolves will help them alongside the other half of the angels.
I left some werewolves here to watch over the three summoners. The two-headed snake is still protecting the disfigured woman. But we're all ignoring it as if it's not something special.
It's just a snake. Spot is an even bigger and stronger snake than that two-headed snake.
By the way, Spot is staying on Earth in case someone needed transportation to move somewhere fast. He won't be helping us here.
"Alright. There will be huge battle, so win and survive. There are still more battles to fight later. Once you're done there, just wait in case we haven't finished yet on our side."
I opened a portal to the transfer point of the man with a missing arm. The portal is a huge one that can fit five people. And it's inside a building. So Jewel stood at the front in her triceratops form as a vanguard and to protect the others.
I also looked at the situation inside while the other soldiers started entering it. I helped with shooting some people who are trying to attack the soldiers before they enter the portal.
I see Kron and Wendy already facing two master level mages. And I could see more people who might be master level mages approaching. I hope everyone will be okay.
After everyone entered, I close the portal. And now it's time for us to move.
"Well, as you can see, there will be a battle right away as soon as I open the portal. Everyone, get ready."
For this side, I will obviously be the one leading the others.
...Is what I thought.
As soon as I opened the portal, Angela flies in and started fighting by herself.
"Victoria, go after her!"
Riding on Ray, Victoria is the fastest one among us. She reached Angela in an instant and protected her from the incoming attack.
I entered the portal, and then I was greeted by a thick and strong Earth Wall. The caster is a master level mage, but he's not in this room where I opened the portal at. He's above us.
He might be a master level mage in both wind element and earth element. He might be the most difficult enemy to fight here.
But I also paid attention at another place. There's a separate building from this church we entered. And in there, I can see some people are being chained and tortured.
That must be the place where the slave trader keep the potential slaves to be sold. All of them are wearing the same collars.
That place seem to have a lot of guard protecting it. Even seem to be more heavily guarded than this church.
"Derek, the building outside over there is where they keep the slaves! Kayla, watch over him together with some vampires!"
Derek just blindly trusted me and destroyed everything on the way to the other building.
Once this fight is over, he will join us. That would be great.
Chapter 722: I Became the Arm-Ripper
Derek flies toward the other building while Kayla was being carried by two vampire girls to follow Derek. I think those four are enough over there.
But the enemies here in the church won't just let them move around freely. So it's my job and the rest of us here to stop them from blocking Kayla and the vampires since Derek has flown really fast and get there first.
Derek will have some problem if there are any master level mage there, but it's fine. Kayla is a healer. And she's strong enough to fight a master level mage as well.
Over here, we have angels as healers and attackers as well. They can use their spears to fight or shoot Light Beam magic from distance.
Some of the angels seem to be about to evolve into archangels like Graham. So they can evolve, huh?
I could see on their back, where their wings are rooted, that there are some extra roots where wings will most likely sprout. Do wings grow like some kind of plant?
If we can have more archangels with us, that would be great. I hope they will still follow me. Or at least Graham. Let's see if they can evolve first. Should I bring them to more battle?
.....
Angela is going wild and attacked those she thought as master level mages. or maybe she didn't think at all and it's just her instinct.
Anyway, Angela easily targeted those who might be stronger than average. Veronica just focused on fighting while protecting the soldiers. And I'm looking directly at the mage flying in the sky who used powerful earth magic before.
He's also looking at me. Seems like he's really the strongest one here since Angela wanted to fight him. But the other master level mages stopped her from approaching him.
Right. That's what you get when you try to fight other enemy before your previous enemy got killed.
"She's the champion of the tournament! Kill her!"
Oh, seems like her fame got to this village in the middle of nowhere. I guess since this village is involved with slave trading, there should be someone who work as peddler to transport the slaves to other cities. And the people here heard the news about Angela from the peddler, or they are newly recruited in this place and have watched Angela fought before.
I don't need to worry about her. She can handle it on her own.
I have a lot of experience fighting master level mages now. And the master level mages from the cult are not experienced in fighting since they focus more on cultivating their level. And that's not their only weakness.
They have another weakness. Which I could say as the biggest weakness they have even though they should be members of the cult that doesn't care about people's lives including their owns.
That's right. They are afraid of using the ultimate magic strong enough to destroy everything.
Back then, when Veronica was fighting Celestine before Celestine joined us, Celestine could even create a huge earthquake and destroy the ground. While Veronica can cut down a part of the forest with her magic. And they were just expert level mages without many fighting experience.
From that and the experience of fighting the cult I have, I can say that they are looking down on us even after everything that happened. Even when none of us are master level mage. Except for Derek this time.
They were looking down on us and didn't expect us to be so strong. So they think that just using smaller scale magic would be enough to defeat us. But that's very wrong. And they only realized that near the end of their breath.
If the master level mages truly think that we're not worth using their full power, that's a huge mistake. They should have do what they do best. Ignoring their own people and kill everyone.
Using a large scale magic here would kill most of us right away. The enemy should know that. But because of their lack of experience, they didn't do that and thought that they should be able to defeat us by using numbers.
And that's how we get into this situation. Where Angela, the strongest expert level mage in the world, who should be easily killed by master level mage if they were serious, can be equal in a fight against several master level mages at once.
And it's also thanks to our experience in fighting them as well. Maybe everyone subconsciously knows that the enemies will hold back. And even when the enemies started to get serious, our side can somehow protect themselves before going for the kill.
That one moment when the enemy thinks that they can win, that will be their doom.
And just as I thought of that, Angela had just killed two master level mages with only using wind magic so far. She hadn't used her other elements.
"Do not hold back! Kill everyone here even if you have to! Including yourselves! If you let any of the enemy survive, they will only get stronger!"
Oh, the master level mage that I'm still watching out for knows. Seems like this will truly be difficult for us.
"Sigh... I guess I need to kill you as soon as possible," I said.
"Try it if you can."
Right as soon as he said that, I shot a Blobbygun at his direction. With my strongest sharp bullet, infused with Aura. Like before when I killed the shocked master level mage.
But this one react too quickly. I thought that the mages from the cult will lack experience. But this one seem to have more experience in battle than most.
But that doesn't mean that he was left unscathed after I shot him. The bullet didn't pierce his body. But it did hit his right forearm as he was trying to dodge it.
The bullet blows away his right hand. Leaving his right arm only to the elbow.
But he didn't even scream. He just grunted.
Instead of screaming in pain and panicked, he cast healing magic on his own arm. So he reached master level in wind and earth element, and he's also a healer. His healing level is probably around advanced level. Good enough to stop the bleeding in his missing hand.
By the way, this is the second time I ripped someone's arm in one day. The summoner, and this guy. Will I be called as Arm-ripper?
"...I heard about it. Using that weapon as a tool for air mage to shoot powerful projectile. You're an air mage. Even more, you're much stronger than that woman in that stupid tournament," he said calmly.
"I was the one who taught her about it. Though I was also taught by someone else. By the way, she's already a better air mage than I am. Though it's true that my shot was much stronger and faster than hers," I praised Sara who is not even here.
"You seem to be the leader of this bunch of people. And seeing how the portal opened without the summoner who should be here, I guess you're also a summoner. Just having air magic and summoning element shouldn't be enough to make you the leader of someone who won that stupid tournament and dubbed as the strongest mage. It means you have something that no one else had. Are you the Aura user?" he asked me after summarizing everything he saw.
"You are correct, Mr. Detective. I also heard that everyone here is involved with slave trading business. So you have no choice but to be killed by us," I said.
He's still looked calm even after hearing all that. Maybe it's because of his experience. He might be in a high position in the cult and maybe his age is already over a hundred years old.
"Aura user. I have one more question for you."
"What is it? Do you think that there's a need for me to answer your question before we start killing each other?"
I tried to provoke him. But he still didn't flinch.
"The summoner who should be the only one who could open a portal here. Where is he?"
"Why do you need to know that?" I asked back.
"He's my son."
That's his son? Well, I don't really care.
"As long as he behave, he won't get eaten by werewolves. He's alive at least," I said.
"Is that all?" he didn't believe me at all.
"Well..."
Before I could say anything, someone tried to kill me. I dodged his weak Ice Spike, approached him, and easily ripped his arm from his body. I really did became the Arm-ripper.
"This is how easy it is for me to kill anyone. I'm an Aura user. My body is already much stronger than yours who got stronger because you raised your level in magic. I trained it. You should know how easy it is already for you to kill anyone just in a physical fight. Well, it's much easier for me. Ripping someone's limbs, breaking their bones, or simply punched someone to their death. Also, we have destroyed everything in that base in the other world. Your son's life is in our hand," I said.
"...Sigh. Well, once a disappointment will always be a disappointment. You're free to kill him later. But only if you can stay alive!"
Now the fight begins. He's different than other master level mages. I need to focus and must not let down my guard here.
Chapter 723: Stopping a Hurricane
From how it looked, the man I'm fighting is not a master level healer yet. I heard that they can regenerate lost limb. But after I shot him and get him lost his hand, and he just healed it by stopping the bleeding and not regenerating it, he's not a master level healer yet.
I wonder why? If he's that strong, he should have realized that a healing element is the most important and could be the most annoying element.
Imagine that with so many people under him, he could just heal those who are wounded. That would make the battle harder since the enemies' stamina will also recover.
But he didn't do that. He focused more on his wind element and earth element.
Well, he's still a difficult enemy to handle. Especially after who knows how long he had been fighting. He has a lot of experience in fighting.
While staying in the air, he attacked with both wind magic and earth magic from below. Making it hard for anyone other than me to dodge.
Well, in my case, I just forcefully breakthrough the magic with Aura. As long as the magic he used isn't strong, I can just brute force my way to him.
.....
But having both wind element and earth element meant that not only he has agile movement. He also had strong defense. He could even make soil from the ground float and use it for defense.
Even after I managed to catch up with him in the air, he could just burrow himself into the ground and move freely. I had to move my hands real fast so I can dig the ground.
Even then, as long as there's a little bit of space for air, he could easily use wind magic underground. And I have no choice but to block it since there's no place to dodge it.
As expected of someone experienced. He might be stronger than the Archbishop I previously caught from the cathedral.
...Or maybe that Archbishop was too stupid. He got himself knocked out real fast without being able to use any power at all.
Maybe I was wrong. I should have acted like Angela before. Instead of trying to protect the others, I should have just flew inside as fast as possible, and kill those who seem strong.
But I can't undo it. For now, I just need to waste his Mana and stamina until he can't use magic anymore. As an Aura Master, I'm confident that I have more stamina than anyone else in the world.
Of course I will still continue to find his weak points. I'm sure that he will make an opening. Either I forced him to, or when he lets down his guard.
But I can't just focus on him. There are some other powerful priests in this church.
I can't do the same thing as I did in the cathedral. Using Graham or other angels to act as theid God's apostles. Because these guys were trading slaves.
Unlike the previous location where there were many believer of the cult, this place has believer of profits. They were trading slaves. Merchants or peddlers who seek to gain money.
As for the reason, I don't know. Why would anyone who seeks wealth chose to stay in a village in the middle of nowhere?
A whole village doing it, it must have some sort of connection with a huge trading company or some sort. I'll have other people to investigate it.
This won't do. The mage I'm facing is too fast and too agile. I can't catch up with him. Even if I could he would easily gain distance.
When he's in the air, he could easily alter the trajectory of Blobbybullets. And when he's underground, the Blobbybullets are not strong enough to reach his location.
So I decided to ignore him. I will fight other people until he comes out and decided to fight me. I will still watch over him so he won't attack anyone else though.
"Don't run away!"
Now the pursuer became the pursued. He's chasing after me as I killed some other members of the cult.
"I'm running away because you're running away!" I shouted back.
"It's a tactic so someone like you who use close combat will not be able to get close to me!"
"And my job is to kill all cult members here! I don't need to go trough the order that I need to kill you first!"
"Then I just need to kill other people first!"
He stopped chasing after me and about to cast a magic to attack at Veronica's direction. But before he could do so, I'm already right in front of him.
"BOO!"
I swung Reizpear filled with Aura at him while he was concentrating in attacking Veronica. It's a mistake if he thinks that I can't focus on several things at once. I'm truly glad that my Aura ability is Divine Vision.
Still, the opponent was too good. He managed to alter the trajectory of my swing forcefully with wind magic while used Earth Shield to protect himself. But I still managed to cut off his right leg.
"And when you're too focused on attacking someone else, you will let down your guard and give me an opening to attack. No matter how powerful your body has became thanks to reaching master level mage, you still don't have the ability to react quickly. It's something you need to train," I said.
"Ugh..."
Now, he's trying to heal his leg. And again, I slashed Reizpear at him.
This time, I couldn't remove his limb again. But he received a long wound on his chest.
"And when you're focusing on healing, you let down your guard again. Come on, use your healing magic again!"
This way, he won't be able to focus on healing or attacking others. While I still can shoot nearby cult members with Blobbygun and kill them.
I can also intercept the master level mage I'm facing using Blobbygun.
This will make me win the fight. It's easy. But that doesn't make me satisfied.
In the end, I can't win in the way I wanted to. I need to use tricks like I usually did as the weak against the strong.
I don't like it. But it's necessary to win here since I will have another fight after this.
I keep distracting him when he tried to use healing magic, or try to attack other people. But when he was trying to attack me, I can feel from his expression that he finally panicked.
"Hey, aren't you going to kill me?" I said.
"Wait, please! I don't want to die!" the man shouted. Acting like he has given up.

"Me neither! And for me to make sure that I won't die here, I need to kill you. You think I can easily be tricked by you?"
"I surrender! I'll do anything you say! I will even join you to destroy the True God Cult!"
"You're still calling it True God Cult? That's not good enough. Your surrender is not accepted," I said.
I tried to kill him again, but he either blocked it or dodged it using the remaining of his strength.
He's way too scared of death. Maybe this is the reason why most master level mages were weak. Although they said that they were willing to risk their lives, they would shiver in the face of death.
Rather than death itself, they're afraid of pain. Hence the need of the explosive device in their mouth. Removing explosive device as soon as they reached expert level was a mistake. They should be willing to risk everything for the cult.
Well, this makes things easier for me, so I won't complain.
"You stay with the cult, kill people and enslave them for profit, and your goal is for the world destruction. There shouldn't be any need to seek for profit if you want to destroy the world. Tell me why there's a need for the cult to gain wealth. I know that you needed a lot of fund for many experiments. Is that the reason for you to enslave people?" I asked.
I approached the man who has no right hand and right leg anymore to listen for his answer.
And as I got closer, I feel danger is coming.
The man used all the remaining Mana he had to cast a powerful and destructive hurricane. Destroying the whole village.
"Even if I die, I will take everyone here with me!"
Not only those who were fighting in the church got blown away. Though the church had been destroyed for a while already. The other building where they keep the slaves were destroyed as well.
People, trees, buildings, were all flown into the sky. Only Angela, Veronica, some angels, some vampires, and some of the enemies' master level mage were not blown. Thanks to their ability to fly. But just staying still took everything from them.
Now this is a real master level mage. The destructive power is real.
I didn't get blown away since I used Aura to stick myself on the ground. Though some parts of the grown were destroyed from the hurricane already.
I'm in the eye of the storm with the mage in front of me. I see that he no longer spend Mana for his magic. The hurricane will still be active for a long time. So I need to stop it.
I spun Reizpear above my head, the opposite direction of the hurricane. Using both air magic and Aura, I tried my best to stop the hurricane by creating a powerful rotation at the opposite direction of the hurricane.
It took me a while until the hurricane was stopped. I actually did it. Stopping a hurricane.
"...No way."
Angela and the others who can fly focused on saving Kayla and the others. While we let the cult members falling down from the sky like rain.
"I have other business to attend, so die."
I killed the mage and other surviving cult members. I don't know about the fate of the slaves. Some of them died because of the hurricane, while some others managed to survive with heavy injuries.
"Kill the survivors! Healers, go and heal the injured! Including those who were captured as slaves!"
After giving the order, I called Sonia to ask what's happening at the other side.
I haven't heard any news from their location, so the battle must not be over yet.
Chapter 724: Ghosts Fights
Thanks to the hurricane, everything is destroyed. Not only the churches, houses and all the buildings in the village, he even destroyed a large part of the forest.
It was crazy. It was so destructive.
What would happen if he used earth magic instead? What would happen if he used both wind magic and earth magic?
The answer is only destruction.
Now I can see how they can destroy the world. Two worlds, I mean.
Since in my past life, there were no challenger of the cult. Even the strongest, Angela, was not as strong as she is now. Even though that time, she was much older than she is now.
But we have grown stronger at a faster rate. There are more powerful mages who might have been killed in my past life at this time. But they're all living now and much stronger.
.....
I don't know why in my past life the cult decided to go the long way to destroy the world. I think it should be in a few years that they started to get more aggressive.
But now, they can no longer get as much master level mage as they had in my previous life. They simply don't have the time to nurture them all. Which is great.
As long as we can defeat them before more master level mages appear, at least those who are as strong as the man I just killed, I think we can destroy the cult.
Not yet. I can't get too confident yet.
During the hurricane, Angela and the others had difficulty protecting themselves. Several soldiers died from it. Either because they were thrown away, or something hit them inside the hurricane.
I'm fine, but the others are not strong enough to face master level mage at their full level. Those who won't underestimate other people and will truly not care about their own lives.
Some might decided to remove the explosive devices after reaching expert level mages. If they did it because they're afraid of that thing inside their mouth, it's possible that they will not use their all in a fight.
However, if they stil remove the explosive device , but they will still risk their everything for the cult, the previous experience won't be the last one.
There might be a huge earthquake, a huge fire, or even return to ice age.
That's why we still need to be careful, and grow stronger as fast as possible.
"Anyone can move?!" I shouted.
Everyone is too tired. Because of that hurricane.
Some angels were dying. So the other angels focused on healing them first before healing the soldiers.
The vampires almost run out of blood protecting themselves. They started grabbing the corpses of the enemies and drink their blood.
I threw the blood bags filled with my blood to some vampires and then I rolled over my sleeve and called Arin.
"Arin, don't drink too much. I'm going to Candy's location after this and you and some other vampires will come with me," I said.
Arin happily drinks my blood directly from my arm. I checked the situation again and see that many of us were no longer able to fight.
"I will open a portal to check the other side soon. Those who can fight right away will come with me. The rest will stay here and see if there's anything you can get from the ruins," I said.
After that, I approached Derek who was shaking in fear.
"Derek, what about your revenge?" I asked.
"...It's too much. I'm also a master level mage, but I can't do what he did. If I join you, will I encounter more people like that?" he asked.
"You will. And you have seen that I'm much stronger than him. Even if you don't want to join us, I hope that you won't betray us. You have seen some of our expert level mages could even defeat master level mages with similar strength as you. If you try to do anything, you will die. Anyway, it seems like you won't be able to make your decision so soon. Stay here with the others and don't go anywhere. I'll ask you again later if you still want to join us or not," I said.
He will think about what to do now that his revenge is over. The village is destroyed. Everything related to the slave trading is gone.
Kayla will heal the others here. She can watch over Derek in case he's trying to run away. Though if he truly wanted to escape, there's nothing she can do.
But I don't need to worry. I have attached a small Blobby on him. I can easily get to where he is. Unless he decided to be naked.
After getting ready, I called Sonia first to ask about the situation on the other village.
"There are some master level mages. None of them used magic as destructive as the one here. But the worst part is that that place is where they keep the tamed monsters on Earth. And the monsters there are much more powerful than the monsters that were being kept in the base that you destroyed," Sonia said.
So over there will be monsters. So far, they haven't contacted us for help. Maybe because they think that we have problems on our side as well.
"Two minutes! Those who are ready to fight, except for a few who will stay here, will come with me. Drink Mana Potions and get someone to heal you if you're injured!"
Two minutes is too short for preparation time. But we're at war.
Two minutes later, we're ready to go.
Some soldiers, angels, all vampires, Victoria, Arin, Veronica, Angela, and I. We will enter the portal from where Jewel location is. I told Sonia to get Jewel protect the portal from the incoming enemies.
When I open the portal, our vision is blocked by the huge body of a dinosaur. It's Jewel in her triceratops form.
"Quick, enter the portal! Wind mages, push the others!" I shouted as I jumped into the portal.
There are some other dinosaur than Jewel here. Some breathe fire. Wait, isn't that dragon?
Whatever. Some of them tried to attack Jewel to reach the opened portal. So I blocked the attack to protect Jewel.
"Jewel, stay there for a little while longer," I said.
I can see that Jewel, someone with the strongest defense thanks to her beastform and the earth magic she can use after training her rhino form, has injuries all over her body. They were not deep, but that shows how difficult the battle is in this side.
"I'm proud of you, my disciple."
Jewel has protected many people here. I'm sure of that. And now, I will protect her.
The enemies are mostly monsters. There are some tamers in this village as well. As long as I can kill them, the monsters won't be cooperative anymore. And they might even fight the cult members here. That's a good idea.
So, while I swung around Reizpear at the dinosaur, I had a Blobbygun on my other hand to aim to the tamers or anyone I thought to be tamers.
Victoria helped since she's with Ray. She's very quickly go to anyone who was ordering the monsters to do something, and kill them.
Soon after, everyone has entered the portal. And I close it.
That's when Jewel's body shrunk and she's now in her hybrid mode. The armor-wearing girl.
"MASTER! I'M FINE NOW! GO AND HELP THE OTHERS!"
...Why is her shout much louder than the sound of an explosion that happened at the same time?
Did the volume of her lungs increased after her beastform reached another level? Is triceratops a dinosaur with loud roar?
Damn. So many questions. And I don't think I will be able to hear the answer.
Except for the roar one. One of the monsters here is a triceratops and it actually roared really loud.
It was being noisy so I killed it by slashing at its neck. Removing their heads from their bodies is another simplest way to kill anything. Though anything that will still be alive after I removed their heads is probably a ghost. And that means they're already dead.
And yes, there are some ghost type monsters here. And most of us were troubled by it.
They will die if I use Aura. Or should I say exorcised? So I will be the one fighting the ghost and just trust the others to take care of the master level mages. I don't want their master level mages to use such destructive magic in this place.
Oh, is that Sonia fighting? She's using a sword to fight other ghosts.
"Sonia, where do that sword come from?" I asked.
"I used spiritual power as a ghost to materialized a sword that I can use to fight other ghost. Though the sword is useless to any living beings. Don't worry about the ghosts. I'm stronger than them," she said confidently.
"Then I will take care of the most problematic ones. I'll leave them to you!"
I won't bother in a fight between a ghost against other ghosts. I don't want to be haunted. Just one ghost is enough.
725 The Second Village Cleared
The ghost Sonia used a sword made by spiritual power. I don't know what that is.
There's magic, and there's Aura. And there's another thing called spiritual power?
"What is spiritual power?" I asked Sonia.
"I don't know. I called it that way since it's different from Aura and magic. And I can only use it fairly recently. Whatever the case, with this, I can fight other ghosts. Let me handle the ghost," she said.
"Did the ghosts appear before, or do they only appear this time when I came here?" I asked her again.
"They only appear now. If they appeared before, I won't come when you called me since I would be fighting them."
"One more thing. They tamed ghosts. Does it mean that ghosts can actually fight living beings?" I asked Sonia again.
If ghosts can really fight living beings, she would be a great help. But she's already a big help as it is. Being our messenger. There's no one else like her.
Maybe I can move all to other location as fast as she can using portal. But I'm already way too busy as it is.
.....
So even if she can fight living being, I want her to do her original job as messenger instead. I prefer it that way so I won't have to travel everywhere many times in one day.
Though for now, it's best to leave the ghosts to Sonia. This way, I can focus on other people.
"By now, I can lift something like a real sword easily. Using it to fight living beings can be done. But I will leave the problem of fighting other living beings to you guys. I'll fight any ghosts that will appear," she said.
"That's great. I will leave them to you then."
The ghosts here seem to be able to fight us humans. And unlike Sonia, the ghosts are no longer had their humanity.
I heard from Sonia that when she trained in Monsters World alone, she learned that if she lost all humanity left in her, she would be a mindless ghost that would attack anyone. I guess that's what happened to these ghosts.
Though she could manage to keep her humanity thanks to being surrounded by her harem even after death. That's ridiculous. But as long as it works, it's fine.
The mindless ghosts are scary. They have long arms with huge claws. They don't have legs and just float. And they're translucent. Sometimes completely invisible. It will be hard for even Angela to fight them.
In fact, I don't know what kind of magic will be effective against ghosts. Maybe we should learn more about it.
But we have Sonia here. She might have died for over a thousand years already. But she was still an Aura user who trained in sword. She can fight some ghosts.
Though I think they have more ghosts than I expected. I don't think Sonia alone can defeat them all. Let's add someone to help then.
"Victoria! Go and help Sonia! You two old-timers can go and cooperate together!" I said.
Since Victoria can use Aura with the help of Ray, it should be fine.
But now that Victoria will help her, I will need to make sure that no one is escaping from this place.
The one who has been doing that before I arrive here was Kron and Wendy. Wendy is not as strong as Kron because of a huge difference. Breezy. Breezy is with Kron.
So, Wendy could only try to kill the slower ones who are trying to escape. As for Kron, he even caught up with some master level wind mages who boosted their speed with fire magic.
Even then, Kron won't be able to catch up with everyone. So I need to kill the rest.
There are not only wind mages who are fast in running away. Some mages are riding fast monsters to escape. There's one with a wyvern. He's a master level ice mage as well. But he's not a tamer.
"Go ride any monsters for help! They are aiming for tamers! Whether you're a tamer or not, confuse them by riding a monster! As long as the tamers are still alive, the monsters will not help them to attack us as well! We shouldn't increase the number of the enemies!"
He's smart. But unfortunately, after he gave that order, Wendy killed him and his wyvern using fire magic. With improved firepower thanks to her wind magic.
But the others still follow his order. Now it will be difficult to kill everyone since they're all spread out.
Good thing Angela and Veronica are here. Randy is here as well so he could catch up with some slower enemies.
Graham is also very fast compared to their expert level wind mages. And the werewolves will never let go of the prey they have targeted.
Soon after, everyone realized that escaping is impossible. Whether through he sky, land, or ground. So they stopped trying to escape and chose to fight back instead.
Is it better now? As long as their master level mage won't cast destructive magic, it should be fine.
So, I need to focus on master level mages first.
...Is what I thought. Kron, Angela, and the werewolves already targeted them first. I guess I'll take care of the leftover while making sure that everyone is okay.
How's Sonia and Victoria doing?
The ghost seems to be stronger than expected. It's good that we have two people... monsters who can fight ghosts. Those ghosts are far too powerful for ordinary mages to fight.
Not that they're really strong. Any magic coming toward them, they can ignore them since those magic will just pass through. And those who tried to have to be really careful so there won't be friendly fire in case their magic pass through the ghosts.
There is only one more ghost to defeat. And both Sonia and Victoria attacked it together with similar swordsmanship. I guess that's to be expected since they both learned from the same master.

"Alright, that's done," Victoria said.
"I'll scout the area to see if there are other ghost monsters," Sonia said as she flies away.
"That was amazing. Now let's take care of the rest," I said.
With the master level mages busy, they don't have the time to cast extremely destructive magic. So it wasn't hard to kill them.
Some tried to do it. But I shot Blobbyguns at them to disturb their concentration. Though some shots managed to kill some master level mages.
There are powerful monsters like dragons here. But with how the werewolves work together to defeat them one by one, the dragons are not much of a problem.
Even though the werewolves love to fight a one on one battle, that doesn't mean that they won't cooperate together. For a really big monster, they can do it.
I thought that the cult would have even stronger monsters than these. I know that the ghosts and the dragons were a bit of problem for us. But we can handle them.
If they have been taking monsters from Monsters World for a while, I thought that they would have even stronger monsters. Maybe even something comparable to Andro.
If that's the case, where would they hide such monsters?
...I know the answer. Now that I think about it carefully, if such monsters exist, they would be able to hide somewhere most people won't see.
They might be underwater. I need to get Spot and his children to scout the ocean and see if they have strong monsters under the sea that shouldn't be there.
Wait! What about the lawless country that we're going to attack after this?! Is it close to the sea?
I need to get more information. If it's close to the sea, I need Spot to come.
The only human who can fight underwater other than me would be Carmen. But she's just an expert level water mage. And she lacks killing power when fighting enemies underwater. That's what she said.
Maybe that's it. They can search for sea monsters, tame them, and get them under the sea.
Sea monsters are well-known to be small when they're born, but their growth doesn't seem to be limited. They can grow even after years of living. Unlike humans whose growth normally stopped around the age of 20.
Maybe that's another reason why it take so long in my past life for the cult to finally move with their goal. To wait until the monsters grow to become so big and can destroy countries after countries.
The battle I was involved was on land. So I don't know anything about those fighting near the sea. But I might be right.
I guess I should dive into the sea more often. And I need to kill monsters however small they are. Or just find the tamers and kill them.
I look around and I can see Angela finally killed the last enemy in this place. Everyone is exhausted after fighting non-stop. We need some rest.
It should be 12 hours before some summoners come to Monsters World to bring supplies to the destroyed base. Can we get enough rest before we attack the lawless country and return back to Monsters World to wait for those summoners?
726 Asking Spot's Family for Help
What a mess.
Two villages, and everyone is already exhausted.
Well, I guess that's to be expected. After all, from now on, the cult would never let their guard down anymore in front of a fight. And we no longer have any weaklings to fight. Most of the enemies we will be facing are expert level mages or above.
Even worse if they have monsters with them.
As to where the rest of the monsters that the cult has tamed will go to, my guess is in the third transfer points of the three summoners. From the disfigured woman. The lawless country.
An entire country, small it might be, is filled with criminals. Fighting is daily occurrence for them.
And monsters? I don't know. But maybe the criminals feel safe there since there are monsters around the place. Let's ask that woman after this.
Right now, I have returned everyone to Monsters World. Back to the destroyed base of the cult.
Except for a few agents I left on the two villages, I brought everyone back and get them to rest. I got some earth mages to build shelter and places to sleep.
.....
Even then, we can't sleep for too long or the news will be spread to that lawless country too soon. And they will be prepared to receive us.
That would be troublesome. After all, we planned all this to let their guard down. That's why we're in a hurry.
So I let the squads for the raid to the Lawless Country to rest. The fight might be even longer than the previous battles.
Also, we asked everyone to help on Earth. Especially Varadis.
We asked old man Henry's son, who has been doing all the jobs while old man Henry is cultivating and focusing on getting stronger to have longer lifespan, to send the army to surround the lawless country.
They willingly agree since that lawless country has been such an annoyance for them.
I asked them as well if that lawless country has its border to the sea. And the answer is yes.
In fact, that lawless country was founded by a group of pirate. So my guess is totally correct.
We need Spot and his children to help us. And I need to ask Lina to help us by lending us Sunny and Elsie.
With Sunny power, she can absorb water, even if it's salt water, and get herself big. She will be a huge help with Elsie by her side to watch the surrounding.
This will be a huge battle between monsters.
Should I bring Andro with me as well?
No, he's too big. Everyone outside that country will be scared when they see a giant dragon flying above them. Big enough to to stomp a city with just his foot.
I asked the disfigured woman if there's anything I need to know about the country.
"Why should I tell you more? If you have any difficulties in the previous two villages, you don't have any chance at all to fight in that country. Just go there and die!"
I guess she has gained immunity against me now. She no longer afraid of me. Maybe I can give her pain to let her understand. But I don't want to spend any more energy on her or any of the three summoners.
"Hey, you over there."
I called out the guy from the slave trading village.
"What?"
"I met your father. He said that once a disappointment, you will always be a disappointment. He even told me that I can kill you," I said.
The man is in despair after hearing that. Though my intention is not about him allowing me to kill this man.
"I don't care about you. And I don't want to spare anymore energy for you. I just want to tell you about how your father died."
I then told him how his father died. From how I first shot his hand, to the chase, and to when I cut down his leg. Forcing him to use healing magic on himself, only to let his guard down and got himself wounded even more.
"You know what he did afterward? He was a master level wind mage. He created a powerful and destructive hurricane that destroys everything on the way. He killed a lot of cult members by himself and wounded even more. Helping us in making our mission easier than expected. Even if there were some casualties, it was your father who killed most of the cult members," I said.
"...And what do you intent to do with telling me that information?" the summoner asked.
"To you? Nothing yet. But at least I know of a plan for that lawless country. I can just force the master level mages in that country to destroy everything. I won't have to do much to see that country destroyed. So what if that country has more master level mages? Even if they use weaker magic, they can still kill their fellow members of the cult. As an Aura user, I can do that. It's fine if you can't tell us anything else. Just know that whether I will win or not, your lives will be forfeit either way. But I'll make sure that you will experience pain before your death," I said before turning my back on the three summoners.
The three fell into deeper despair after hearing that. Death is fine for them. but not pain.
I regrouped with Kayla and the others. Including Derek who is with us.
"So, you've heard what I said, right? If not, then I will repeat again. One of our plans is to let the master level mages on that side to cast destructive magic to kill everyone there. So those who will come, I guess you all will, have to resolve themselves," I said.
"Not a problem. Basically, nothing changed. We will continue put up our guard and protect ourselves in case such thing happened," Kayla said.
Everyone also nodded and said that they agree with the plan if possible. Since that will make it easier for us as well.
Then I asked Derek if he can use any destructive magic.
"I don't know. I have never used such powerful magic like that hurricane from before," he said.
"Then do it now. Let's move to the forest over there and use your strongest magic," I said.
Then he flew to the forest. All of us just watched from afar.
Derek then cast powerful hurricane magic just like the mage from before. It was quite destructive indeed, but he lacked power. And the scale is much smaller than the mage from before. Just shows how much lacking he is compared to the mage I killed.
"Veronica, if it's you, you can do that as well, right?" I asked.
"Nope. I can't use something that destructive. I can create a hurricane smaller than that one, and I don't think it will destroy much. Though I can make it so the wind will be sharp and still kill many people," she said.
Yeah. If she focused on making the wind sharper, that's possible. Which mean if any of the mages in our group reached master level mage, the destructive power we can give will be much bigger. I can't wait for that to happen.
And truly, I can't wait. We need to complete the mission soon we have time limit before the people in that country heard of the news and increase their guard.
"I guess we all need to reach master level after this mission is over. Even if it's just one of us, that would be great. But let's focus on the battle ahead first."
I reached expert level in my summoning element quite a while already. Though I only made a contract with Ray a bit later. But after the fight tonight alone, I feel that my summoning is rapidly increasing. Maybe because I used all my familiars in battle.
Once I reached master level in summoning, what will I get other than another contracted monster? Maybe a portal bigger than Andro. That would be great. Though I need something even better.
After Derek returned, I told everyone to take a rest before the next battle.
Meanwhile, I opened a portal to call Spot and ask for his and his children's help. I also told the kings about the next battle and that I needed Spot, so they can't ask for our help anytime soon.
I also told them that if there any ghost monsters, Sonia will fight with us. Delivering messages would be difficult. But they agree with our plan.
"So, you need my help to kill sea monsters? Not just me, but my children as well?" Spot asked.
"Yes. Once I'm there, I will quickly go to the sea and open a portal. I won't be able to enter the sea yet with all the fight on land. So I want to leave it to you and your children," I said.
Spot might be a hybrid of Sky Serpent and Sea Serpent. But his children are only Sea Serpents. They can't fly. So it's best to get them to the sea first.
And unlike Spot, they can't shrunk in size. So I will need to maintain the portal big enough and long enough for all his children to enter.
"You don't have to worry about that. All my children now can shrink. Though they can't shrink as much as I can. We will be on our small form when you bring us there. But once we're there, I will turn big and carry all my children to the sea. You only need to care about your own fight. As for us, we will enjoy our family time," Spot said.
His family time is spend by killing monsters? That's good enough for me. I won't complain to any family whose hobbies will help me.
Well, that's the sea taken care of. Not all, but at least Spot and his children are good enough to hold for a while if not destroying them completely.
727 Entering the Lawless Country
We have rested enough. It's finally time to fight in the Lawless Country.
"Roy, Varadis has started the attack already. The people in the lawless country are occupied by the soldiers of Varadis. They won't expect that a portal will open somewhere in the middle of the country," Sonia reported.
The place where the portal will be opened is most likely to somewhere important. A place where the cult members in that place received information from the summoners here.
Unless they keep the reports somewhere. The reports won't just stay in one place the whole time after all. It should be brought to someone important.
In the two villages, the portal opened inside the church. In some sort of office of someone important.
The same is possible with the lawless country as well. It could be a church, cathedral, or somewhere else. Maybe even in the middle of a farm.
I actually wanted to bring soldiers from other country to help subjugating the lawless country as well. But that mean I have to open up portals several more times.
I have used portal many times already. Even with Mana Potions, it's best if I could save some Mana instead of using it. That's why only soldiers from Varadis will help since they already prepared soldiers in the border between Varadis and the lawless country for a long time.
They have been informed that reinforcement will come from the middle of the country. We needed to report them many things since most of them are not mages who have helped us.
.....
So just like back then, we wore purple cloth as a mark to tell them that we're not enemies.
Even then, maybe those soldiers won't be enough. So, other than us who will enter from the middle, Varadis is sending more reinforcement. They should arrive during our fight there. It should be soon.
"Jewel, can you protect the portal?" I asked Jewel.
"It won't be hard. The portal won't stay open for too long, right?" jewel confidently said.
"Good. Shelia, how's your injuries?" this time I asked Shelia.
"Don't you dare leave me out of this battle. I'm perfectly healthy," she said.
She didn't participate in the previous two village raids because of injuries. The mage she was fighting before was about as strong as the one who created the hurricane.
And now, in the lawless country, we can assume that there won't just be powerful master level mages over there. There could be more monsters that could be as strong as those master level mages as well.

I'm glad that Shelia has recovered. It hasn't been long, and she should be much stronger than before after experiencing difficult battle.
It's a good idea to let her stay in the Monsters Village to rest and got the angels to heal her.
Though once she's healed, she ran by herself from the village to the destroyed base of the cult. As soon as she arrives, she complained why I didn't bring her to the previous raids.
Well, she's here now. She will be a great help and can help Jewel protect the portal.
"Prepare yourself. I will open the portal in a few seconds," I said.
I look around and see that everyone is ready. Including Derek.
I thought that he would not participate here. But it seems like he has resolved himself to fight to the end. That's good.
I'm sitting on Ray's back with Victoria as my armor. I pocketed Reizpear again after breaking it into pieces. Victoria and my magic or Aura weapons will be more useful than Reizpear here. Though I don't know if I will ever use those weapons.
I opened the portal and rushed in. I'm bringing Spot and his entire family with me.
As soon as I jumped in, I destroyed the wall in front of us. We're really inside a building. And I can see the people here are moving somewhere. Probably to the border so they can fight Varadis' soldiers.
After I entered, Jewel and Shelia entered with Jewel transformed into a triceratops. Maybe I should have given her the fishnet stocking so she won't be harmed with fire magic. But seeing a dinosaur wearing a fishnet stocking is weird.
I looked toward where the sea is, and threw Spot who have turned quite big enough to lift his children in the sky.
And in the sky, Spot flung his body to throw his children into the sea.
Really? That's bad parenting over there. Though it seems like his children enjoyed it.
All his children transformed into their original size mid air and dive into the sea. And Spot is flying in the sky before diving into the sea as well.
While the people are in terror seeing giant serpents jumping into the sea, soon after, I can see several huge monsters in the sea fighting against Spot's children.
I was right. They do have powerful monsters in the sea. And some of them were even bigger than Spot's real size.
"We'll rake care of the sea battle! I'll leave the land and air to you!" Spot said as he joined his children.
There are also powerful monsters on land. They are gathered in one large area. And some of them even have wings and can fly.
Well, they will be our enemies.
I need to focus on something else. Not the monsters, not the master level mages.

But children. Even if they belong to the enemies, none of us dare to fight children. And the children of this country... from what I can see, they are experienced with hardship.
When we caused some noise from the fight, and probably when the soldiers from Varadis attacked this country, the children grabbed anything they can use as weapons. Knives, hammers, axes, anything.
They are ready to fight. And our side are not ready to fight children.
So, it will be my job to make sure that we won't fight the children, and the children can't fight us.
"Victoria, we will be known as the biggest child kidnappers in history after this event," I said to Victoria.
"No. Not me at least. Just you. Let's do it and save those children."
This is where I will use my portal most.
When I captured children, I will open a portal to a transfer points in Consenza where Celestine has been waiting so she can receive the children. There, I can leave everything to her and everyone in Consenza.
But seeing this place, it seems like there are more children than I expected. I guess I need to drink more Mana Potions later then.
Ignoring the walls and everything else, I had Ray go to where I see children. They raised their weapons at me, but it won't work. Even their small knives were not able to pierce through my skin.
I grabbed the children and threw them into the portal where Celestine is. And when I see someone who is no longer young but tried to protect the children, I also grabbed them.
Celestine told me that I shouldn't just grab the children. I should grab someone who might be their guardian as well so the children won't be in too much panic since they have someone, an adult probably, whom they can trust.
And this one tried to help the children with just beginner level magic. Seems like not everyone here is truly evil. They only experienced with evil. Not evil themselves.
Living in this place, which even called as lawless country, they need to adapt to the evil of other people so they can survive. That's why even children took up arms.
But I don't care. I don't need to know their stories. I only need to do my job. Grab all the children and their guardians, and bring them to Celestine.
Celestine helped me a few hours ago in the fight in the cathedral. But after that, after interrogating the disfigured woman and learn the existence of this country, Albert informed everyone and Celestine suggested to help the children as much as possible. So we agreed.
Once I saved all the children, we will try to provoke the master level mage to use destructive magic so they will end up helping us in destroying this place.
I can see that some mages and monsters are chasing after me. I can hear from their order that they are either to capture me, stop me, kill me, or kidnap the children and use them as hostages.
For those trying to kill me, unless they are master level mages, they are not worthy to be killed by me. I will let the others to fight them.
But for the master level mages, or those who are trying to grab the children and use them as hostages, I will kill them before they can reach the children.
It might be a small country, but the size is several times bigger than the capital of Tatrama. It took me a while just to locate all the children.
Meanwhile, I can see Spot's children is fighting against a huge starfish that can jump and fly into the sky. That's crazy. Though Spot helped his children and the starfish died soon after.
Land, water, and air. There are battles everywhere. But we won't lose. We will fight on until the cult is destroyed completely.
728 Two Extra Master Level Mages
By this time, the enemies are spread out. Trying to kill us and also to grab children who I haven't caught yet to be used as hostages.
I even had some problem. Especially with smart kids.
They grabbed knives, and tried to stab me in my heart when I grabbed them. some of them are smart enough to aim for my eyes instead. But I just need to close my eyes and cover it with Aura.
I don't know what will happen if my eyes were to be hit directly with knives if I cover it with Aura. But I won't try it.
It was easy for me since I can still see with my eyes closed. But how the kids are trying to kill me no matter what, it was troublesome.
Good thing they didn't try to shave my hair. Or I will be like Kron and needed to wear bandana.
Though if it's a cut from knives, I think my hair will still grow. So it's not much a problem. But I just don't like it. So I stopped those who used knives or any sharp weapons to hit my head.
Once I captured enough kids that my hands were full, I would open a portal and throw them inside. I hope Celestine and the others won't have too much trouble with the kids.
There are more kids than I expected. I guess this is a lawless country indeed. They do it however they like or even force girls to do it, and get the girls pregnant. I hate this country even more.
.....
The people here thinks that this is a free country. It is a free country after all. But without laws and rules to restraint their freedom, they're just criminals. Hence the name lawless country.
Though after hearing these people calling this place as free country, I really want to kill them all.
But I can't yet. I need to save the children first. There are way too many of them.
The enemies are shouting at each others. Trying to get as many children as possible. And that can also be used for our advantages.
Some of the people here actually grabbed children somewhere I can see, and screamed to let me bring them away from there. So before the enemies get them first, I captured them and throw them into the portal.
"Take my children!"
"At least just my brother!"
"Help me!"
Many were shouting for me to kidnap their children. So I also grabbed them as well. Whether they are their father, mother, brother, sister, or even a total stranger. I just grabbed them.
I don't think that any of them were master level mages. That's why I'm fine with taking them all in. Though even if they were master level mages, Celestine should be able to handle them.
But I don't want to risk it. Celestine can handle expert level mages easily. But for master level mages, even if she could kill them, there might be some casualties. Including children.
That's why I didn't bring those who might be master level mages. Instead, I either kill them or told them to kill the cult members here.
It's nice. More of them are helping us. At least we have two more master level mages. But it wasn't easy to get them help us.
One of them think that I was kidnapping his daughter. So he tried to kill me. But after I threw his daughter into the portal, he followed me while asking why I do that.
I didn't say that I'm saving his daughter from the cult. I just say that his daughter will be our hostage since we don't kill children. He reluctantly helped us kill cult members.
The other is slightly better. She was nearby when I opened a portal to throw some children and their guardian in. And she saw the inside of the portal that Celestine and the others were actually trying to help them.
So, she flew to my location with her sister and her sister's kids and told me to take them somewhere safe.
"If you bring them to safety, I will help you whatever your goal is!" she said.
"We're destroying everything related to the cult!" I said as I grabbed her sister and her sister's kids and threw them into a portal.
She nodded and helped us killing the enemies.
As for the previous guy whose daughter I grabbed, he saw our conversation and asked us our real goal. While I grab other children, I told him that we took children to safety and kill the rest. And he decided to help us as well. This time, I didn't force him.
"What about their guardian? I know some master level mages who have kids," he asked.
"Some will live, while some will die. I only care about the children. And it's best to kill the rest. I'm sorry to the children who will be orphans because of me. But it's their parent's decision if they wanted to fight me or not," I said.
"Then I will try to convince those people that you are taking our children to safety. Some will probably help you," he said.
"You might be killed if they think that you're betraying them, you know?" I said.
"If you're sorry that you make the children into orphans, I'm sure that you have taken some precautions. I don't care if I die as long as my daughter can live. So, if I really die, please tell my daughter that I died a hero. She loves stories of heroes," he said.
"Then don't die and keep reading those stories to your daughter. Wear this purple cloth so we will think that you're on our side. Though if you betray us, I will kill you," I said.
Then I also gave another purple cloth to the woman from before as well. And I continue looking for children.
I told those two master level mages that if there are other master level mages willing to help, to tell me right away before I kill them. It's so that I can see if they truly wanted to help or they actually thinking of betraying us later.
As for expert level mages who wanted to help, I just gave it to them. The others can easily handle those expert level mages.
Though I witnessed some of them tried to give those purple cloth to other people. So I killed them.
It's good that purple dye is not something that everyone can get. It's extremely rare. That's why most people only know the color purple from eggplants or few fruits.
And it's not something that the cult would buy. Why would they buy something to dye their clothes? That's why it's best to wear purple cloth to differentiate between enemies or allies.
Some people managed to grab children as hostages. But before they could do anything, they got attacked by someone. Even the werewolves attacked those who used children as hostages.
The two master level mages who joined us then helped looking for other children and protect them. The soldiers will help them as well. So the two master level mages, three since Derek also joined to help protecting children, just need to get the children in three different locations and wait until I can get there.
They and the soldiers will help protecting the children until I can bring them all to safety.
Now that we have three master level mages, my job became easier. Though it's still not easy. Just easier.
There are also many monsters blocking my way. The angels even have difficulties to do their job to heal the injured people. They can only fight the monsters themselves before they can heal others.
The vampires and werewolves then come to help the angels. The monsters here are stronger than any monsters we have faced.
There's even another archangel here. He's fighting Graham. But since Graham is not a pure angel, and he can create shadow clones, it didn't take long until Graham defeated the other archangel.
Since they can communicate, they are talking while in a fight. It seems like the archangel doesn't want to fight. He was just forced to because he's under contract with a tamer.
So Graham knocked him out before he's trying to hunt the tamer who made a contract with that archangel. I hope he can find the tamer. Adding another archangel in our group would be great.
And then it happens. As we predicted, a master level mage finally used his full power to try to kill everyone.
He's a master level ice mage. He froze everything starting from the huge mansion in the middle of the city.
Is that him? The one called as Barbarian King?
Whatever.
As soon as the ice started to spread, I shouted at the top of my lung to warn everyone. Including Spot and his children at the sea.
"HE'S A MASTER LEVEL ICE MAGE! WATCH OUT FOR THE ICE! KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM THAT MANSION AT THE CENTER!"
Some get themselves frozen. But most people managed to escape death.
The ice freeze everything that it touched. Even in the air, it was freezing cold.
So strong. So destructive. This is master level mage.
Spot and his children dive deeper and further into the sea to avoid getting themselves frozen. I can no longer see them with my Divine Vision, but at least I didn't see any of them getting frozen even though some other monsters got themselves frozen.
The others are fine. Since it seems like the Barbarian King doesn't have wind element, most of us avoid the ice by flying in the sky. It's still freezing above, but it's better than being frozen down there.
Good thing that I have delivered all the children here by the time the Barbarian King made his move. With this, all that is left is to kill everyone.
729 Another Archbishop?
All the children I can see have been moved away to a safe place. But now, the one they called as the Barbarian King, the king of this lawless country and also probably the strongest person here, made his move.
With my Divine Vision, I can see that he was talking with someone that wears the same garb as the previous Archbishop I captured. Is that another Archbishop? Why is there so many of them?
Maybe each Archbishop lead different factions. I will know more later after Albert finished his interrogation with the captured Archbishop. Though I don't think I will care much about it. But as long as I can destroy the cult, everything is fine.
While I was checking on the Barbarian King and the Archbishop, those two also looked at me at the same time. Obviously, they couldn't see me. There are walls obstructing their view, and the don't have any see-through vision. But they know that I'm looking at them.
"Roy, is the Barbarian King over there?"
Before I made my move, Angela approached me and asked me about the Barbarian King's whereabouts.
"That's right. He's with someone who might be the Archbishop of the cult. Do you want to challenge him?" I asked.
"Yes. He's the strongest one here, so I want to see how strong he really is. But I don't think I can fight well with so many people here distracting me," she said.
"Okay, we... let's stop it for now and dodge. There are other master level mages here using powerful magic. Let them kill their own people first."
.....
I was about to say that we fight each one of them. with Angela fighting the Barbarian King and I fight the Archbishop. But another big magic is coming from different master level mage. So we needed to dodge it first.
This time, it's just a huge earthquake that split the earth. And since most of us dodged the ice magic by flying, we're already safe in the sky. But that's only if it's a normal earthquake.
After the earthquake, giant needles coming out of the ground trying to stab us. But we just need to fly higher.
But then a master level wind mage was about to cast powerful wind magic. Fortunately, Candy was there to kill him first. She was prepared to intervene the master level mage.
Many expert level mages of the cult died. And some of our soldiers died as well. But that means only the strong ones are left.
The werewolves happily fight anyone they see. Monsters or humans, only the strong ones are left.
As for the sea, some of the frozen area was no longer frozen. Because one of Spot's children is smashing his body to a giant dolphin and and the dolphin crashed on the ice. And Spot himself jumped to the sky to chase after a flying whale and shoot a breath attack that destroyed the ice. And some of the frozen monsters as well.
It was intense in the water as well. I'm glad that I met Spot and get him to be our ally.
And then I can see a lot of orcas approaching from the sea. It seems like they're also tamed monsters.
Only one orca was different. It has a pink spot on its black head. And it acts like the leader of the orcas.
"That's a lot of orcas! It's an orchastra!" Victoria said.
"You know what? Shut up. Enough with the stupid pun."
"Roy, I'll help Spot and the others. You don't mind if we leave you, right?" Victoria suggested.
"Be careful then."
I jumped off from Ray's back as both Victoria and Ray left me to help Spot and his family.
How many orcas were there? I think it's more than three hundreds. I don't think the cult has too much time to tame that many orcas. So it must be only that orca with pink spot who acted as the leader.
"Sunny! Elsie! You both go to the sea, absorb water to make Sunny bigger, and support everyone! Elsie will watch everything and give Sunny a target. Support everyone in the air, land, or water!" I said to both of Lina's contracted monsters.
I think it should be soon that Lina reached expert level and gained another monsters. The Elf Queen is not much of a help in battle.
Sunny and Elsie are the monsters I brought here with Lina's permission. They are slow, and if Sunny turns big, she will only be a big target.
But that's only if the enemy outnumber us.
Thanks to their master level mages used powerful magic to kill as many people as possible, most of the enemies are dead. Leaving only the strong ones.
And those strong enemies will be busy fighting us since we no longer have to focus on weak enemies. That's why Sunny can freely turn big.
Not only her magic attack is powerful. She can also use her vines as tentacles to not only attack or restrain enemies, but to be used as foothold as well for those who can't fly well.
And for that, Elsie is instructing her how to move and where to attack. Those two have perfect teamwork.
Now... I'd like to say that we have outnumber the enemies, but I'm wrong.
Just like that orca, there are other monsters here. The cult probably only tamed the leader of a certain species, so other of the same species would follow them. Just like how I get the angels. By making a contract with Graham.
As for werewolves, I won the fight fair and square. I'm their king.
And I look around to see that almost all expert level mages here were dead. Which means that the tamers are among the master level mage here. And that make things difficult.
Though so far, I didn't see any summoner among them. I think that's a good news.
But if the tamer is the Barbarian King, it will be hard to stop the monsters. Even then, we still need to kill the monsters. Because unless they are smart creatures we can negotiate with, they will continue to fight everyone here.
I guess it's an all-out brawl from here on out.

"Angela, you can fight the Barbarian King. I will fight that one that look like an Archbishop. Veronica, come with me for a bit and check if that Archbishop is someone you know or not."
I gave the order, and everyone moves. Both us and the enemies. With a giant serpent wrapping its body around a giant electric eel at the background.
Damn, monsters are scary! And sea monsters are far scarier since only limited people can fight them underwater.
But once they're outside of water, many can fight them.
The werewolves approached the serpent who can't seem to kill the electric ell by tightly wrapping its body around the eel. In fact, it was the serpent who got hurt. So the werewolves come and finished the eel off.
And although the werewolves can't fight that well underwater, they can still fight. So they only fight monsters who surfaced or near the surface of the sea. They are so amazing. I'm so glad that I became their king.
I can leave the sea to them. As for the sky, we already have many flying mages and monsters. And the land is good as well. So we will face the boss.
"Angela, if you win, you can actually be a queen of a country, you know?" I said to Angela who is flying beside me toward the place where the Barbarian King and the Archbishop are.
"Then as a queen, what do you think I should do?" she asked.
"Either you can give up your territory to Varadis, or continue as the queen of this country. Though after we killed so many people, it's best to just give Varadis this place. They can take care of the rest," I said.
"Then I will do that. I don't want to be a queen," she said.
"Even though I'm a king?" I teased her.
"That's the only role of a queen I accepted. Though if you're a king, I guess you will have concubines as well. If being a queen force me to do some paperwork, then make me your mistress instead," Angela said seriously.
"...I'm just a king of the werewolves. Not a king of a country. You won't have any duty at all once we get married other than being my wife. And probably as mothers of our future children as well," I said.
The two of us decided to continue this conversation later as we move toward the Barbarian King's place. Followed by Veronica who will look at the Archbishop.
And as we get closer, the Barbarian King and the Archbishop left their place and greeted us.
"Is this how an Aura user and the one called as the strongest mage in the continent act? To come in uninvited and destroy everything?" the Archbishop asked.
"That's what you do best, right? You're part of the cult whose goal is to destroy the world. I don't know why the Barbarian King join you guys," I said.
"Wait, you're trying to destroy the world?!" the Barbarian was shocked by the revelation.
"Is that matter right now? We have enemies to face. Fighting comes first. You take care of that champion of the tournament, and I will take care of the Aura user. We'll talk later," the Archbishop said.
"But you won't have any chance to talk after this!"
I quickly grabbed the Archbishop's head, jumped, and threw him far from the Barbarian King. I acted after hearing Veronica's confirmation that she doesn't recognize this Archbishop and she left us to fight other people.
This time, I thought that the Arcbishop will be knocked out like before. But instead, he stood on his ground after being thrown.
Well, I guess it's a fight then.
730 War Between Monsters
Spot is leading his children to fight the group of orcas. Hundreds of orcas.
The difference in number might be too big, but this is still a fight between monsters. So no one knows how the fight will end.
Many other sea monsters have been defeated. But that doesn't mean all of them were dead. There were still some other sea monsters fighting.
But luckily, Victoria was there to help Spot. She's riding on Ray who can move fast even underwater and killed weaker monsters.
She also tried to kill an orca, but the orca was stronger than ordinary orca. These orcas were originally normal orcas, but because of the effect of the Orca King, the orca with a pink spot in the forehead, the other orcas slowly transforming into monster orcas. No longer just animals.
Victoria couldn't defeat even one of them easily. She managed to deeply wound one of them, but other orcas then protected the wounded orca and attacked Victoria.
Victoria would be fine if she got attacked. But not Ray. And Victoria won't be able to use Aura to fight if Ray is not with her.
One orca managed to bite Ray's leg. But Ray kicked its head and escaped. Ray is just slightly faster than that orca.
'Can Spot and his children beat them all? If we could just defeat the leader, the rest should be easy. Or if we can find the tamer of king of the orcas, it won't be difficult to handle later,' Victoria thought to herself.
.....
As she thought, defeating the leader or the tamer will make things easier for them. But they can't depend too much on other people to win easily as well. She also needs to help the others after she finished her duty in the sea.
Not to mention, Sonia who scouted the area first is being chased by several ghosts. She can't win on her own. So Sonia needed the help from Victoria or Roy.
And since Roy will be the busiest person there, Victoria needed to finish everything as soon as possible to help Sonia with the incoming ghosts.
Sonia managed to lure the ghosts to chase after her instead of killing the others. It's not without reason.
The tamer who tamed the ghosts is a master level mage in other element as well. He detected Sonia and thought that she would be a huge obstacle in the fight. So he ordered the ghosts to kill Sonia first.
The rest of the tamers, who tamed a lot of monsters, were all master level mages. And after most of the people in the cult were killed, they no longer have the need to hide their strength. But they weren't able to do it since they have enemies to fight. They need time until their powerful magic was ready.
And so, Roy and everyone were thinking the same thing. They have to finish the enemy in front of them first so they can help the others as soon as possible.
And the enemies being master level mages, any destructive magic those mages used won't be enough to kill other master level mages. So the soldiers have to put everything in the line just to make sure those mages were not able to cast any destructive magic.
Spot also wanted to help the others. But the enemies this time, the orcas, were too many. And he couldn't get close to the leader.
Even when he used his breath attack to target the orca with pink spot on its forehead, the other orcas would move to protect their leader. Several orcas then died, but the leader was protected.
And then, each serpents, Spot included, were surrounded by dozens of orcas. Each of the orcas were twice the size of ordinary orcas. Which mean they have became monsters completely.
As for the Orca King himself, he's smaller than ordinary orca. And the pink spot made it easier to locate it.
The serpents then got themselves bitten by the orcas. They were struggling, but the orcas' jaws were too powerful and it might even bite a chunk of their meat.
Spot then used his full power to bring his children to the sky because the orcas won't be able to do anything there. But he dropped one of his children on the sea and that one was bitten again.
Victoria then helped the fallen serpent by wounding the big orcas one by one. Still, they didn't die because their skin was too thick.
But at least the serpent was freed.
'We can't do anything about these orcas. It's best to just focus on the enemies on land. We shouldn't have come to the sea," Victoria thought.
Spot was also thinking of the same thing. And the wounded serpent then turned small, still big though, and Ray took it out of the sea.
But that wasn't the end. The orcas were so good in their teamwork.
"FOCUS ON THE ORCAS FIRST!"
That was Roy shouting a command to not get Spot and everyone leave the sea.
Then they realized what the orcas were planning.
The orcas moving together to create a tsunami. With that many orcas, everything on the shore will be destroyed by the tsunami.
It was too late when they realized it. So they tried to get as many soldiers as high as possible, or hold onto Sunny who is in her big form and rooted to the ground to not get pushed by the current.
Some escaped to the air by the help of the monsters. But several non-flying mages got carried by the wave and lost in the sea.
"Fuck!"
Victoria realized that she did the wrong thing and let the soldiers died. But she didn't lose her mind in her failures and quickly think of a plan.
"Spot, shoot at the leader of the orcas from here!" she said.
"But the others will protect him!" Spot said.
"It's fine! Just do it!"
Spot then do as Victoria told him to, and shot a breath attack into the water.
As expected, other orcas were protecting the leader even if they have to die. But at least they didn't try to create another wave because of this.
The breath attack created a hole in the sea. And Victoria move to the opening at once.
There, she looks for the leader and tried to kill it.
With Ray's speed, the two familiars charged toward the Orca King. And with no hesitation, even with the water pressure, Victoria slashed her sword and wounded the Orca King.
Wounded. Not killed.
The orcas then surrounded Victoria and Ray, and some were protecting their king.
Victoria realized that her plan failed, but Ray didn't.
Very quickly, Ray dropped Victoria from his back and kicked her toward the wounded Orca King.
Victoria knew that that was her last chance. And again, she swung her sword and finally killed the leader of the orcas.
Their leader died. But that doesn't mean the orcas will stop being aggressive. Especially since they knew that Victoria and the others are their enemies.
There won't be anything that will lead the orcas to create another tsunami. But they are still powerful creatures of the sea. And both Victoria and Ray were surrounded by them.
Not for long.
Roy who was busy fighting the Archbishop, also paid his attention to other battles. And when he saw the two killed the Orca King, he summoned the two of them to his side to get them away from the danger.
"Good job. Take care of the rest!"
Roy said to the soaked familiars. Victoria then rode on Ray's back again to help Spot and the others. This time, they won't leave the sea until all the monsters at the sea were eradicated.
Even if the orcas won't create another tsunami, that doesn't mean that they can't.
Spot and his children dove into the sea again. And this time, with no one acting as the leader, defeating the orcas were much easier than before.
The serpents were ecstatic that they can finally take revenge to the orcas who have bitten on them.
There were still many orcas, but the orcas were no longer as strong as before. So there's no need for all of them to fight the orcas.
"Victoria, you go and help the others. Leave the orcas to my children. I will fight other sea monsters here," Spot said to Victoria.
"Alright! Good luck!"
Victoria and Ray left the sea. And this time, they're going to Sonia's side to help her kill the ghosts. Or exorcised them.
With Victoria helping her, the two former Aura users defeated the ghosts easily even though the ghosts there were much stronger than the previous ghosts they fought together.
The Black Slime and the ghost have learned how to fight ghosts well from their previous experiences.
"Victoria, the reinforcement has come! But if we can't defeat the master level mages here soon, there will be more casualties!" Sonia said.
After defeating the ghosts together, she teleported to the border of the country and see that the reinforcement has arrived.
"You will continue scouting and be the messenger. I will help the others again."
The Orca King has been defeated. There were still some powerful sea monsters, but their attack won't reach the shore since Spot and his children were fighting them.
But nothing is over with how the master level mages were still fighting.
