731 Another Archangel Joined
It was before the tsunami caused by the orcas. Graham is looking around in search of someone.
Before this, he had fought against another archangel. The archangel he fought was forced to made a contract with a tamer and had no choice but to obey his master's command.
And so, Graham and that archangel fought one-on-one.
Even if the archangel was forced to fight, it doesn't mean that the archangel couldn't tell anything to Graham.
"Hey! You also got yourself tamed? We have shitty fate, huh?" the archangel asked Graham mid-fight.
"Kind of. But now, I willingly joined my master. Your side, had my sister modified until she lost her mind. She doesn't even remember who I am. So I promised myself to help my master to destroy the cult. What about you? If you want, I will try to kill your master and free you from the contract. You can join us or not after you gain your freedom. Just like the angels who came with me. It was their choice to fight the cult," Graham asked the archangel.
But the archangel didn't reply to that suggestion.
"I understand. Your master is too close and can contact you with telepathy. I will take you far from the range of telepathy, and ask you again."
After that, Graham created clones of himself and grabbed the archangel to somewhere far before asked him again.
.....
"I will decide after I get to know your master's intention from the person himself. My master is too far now, but I can't disobey his order to fight right now. You're stronger than me. Knock me out first then you can kill my shitty master," the archangel said.
"Alright. Before that, tell me who is your master," Graham asked.
The archangel then informed Graham about the appearance of his master, and the last known location where the archangel sensed his master at.
"Be careful. He's a master level wind mage," the archangel said before he lost consciousness from Graham hitting his head over and over again.
"Shit. Your head is too hard," Graham said.
And it was at this time that the center of the city was frozen. Soon afer, earthquake followed.
Graham looked around and he finally saw a mage flying at the location that the previous archangel said.
While the others were busy protecting themselves from the spikes that came out from the earth, Graham quickly flew toward the flying mage.
There's another wind mage, but Candy killed him first. However, the master level wind mage that she killed was not the master of the archangel.
And when the tsunami happened, Graham finally located the tamer. He was fighting against Wendy.
The mage was too strong for Wendy. Not only because he's a master level mage, but also because Wendy had been fighting for a long time.
When the mage was about to kill Wendy, Graham appeared and interfere with the mage before he could cast his magic.
"Leave him to me! You go help the others!" Graham said to Wendy.
"Thanks! I'll leave him to you then," Wendy replied.
It's not just Wendy. But the others were exhausted as well after fighting non-stop. Though they did stopped for a few hours, but that's not enough rest for them who were risking their lives.
"A human obeying order from a monster? This world is destined to be doomed," the tamer said.
"Maybe if you're smart enough, you can learn how to live together between different races. But no, you're stupid. That's why I respect my master," Graham said as he created clones of himself.
One giant clone, and two clones the same size as himself.
"You're not an archangel. What are you?"
"I'm a monster who have been recognized by the strongest man and the best master any monster could have. As my master wish, I will help him kill you and everything related to the cult," Graham replied.
"...That didn't answer my question at all. But if you think you can defeat me, think again!"
Right after the tamer said that, he didn't cast any magic. But he called his tamed monsters. Lots of them. from the sky and on the land. They're all coming to him.
But when they were trying to attack Graham, several werewolves protected him. Angels and vampires came as well to help Graham fight the monsters, while Graham will fight the tamer.
"Our monsters move by our own will. While your monsters move because of your command. The common thing both us and your monsters have is that we all hate you. None of them will be able to fight with their full strength since they hate you. But we can. To the monsters who have been tamed, I'm sorry. You will have to die if we can't kill your stupid master soon. Let's go!"
While on the sea Spot and the others fighting, in the sky and land, the monsters also fighting.
The enemies were not just monsters who have been called by the tamer of the archangel. But also from other tamers who asked their tamed monsters to come.
"Why do you get to fight him?"
While they are fighting, Shelia came up to Graham and asked him why he's the one deciding the master level mage as his enemy.
"He tamed another archangel. And I promised him that I will kill his master," Graham said.
"Then I'll go and look for another tamer or strong mage to kill."
Arin who somehow joined them said that.
"Ah, no fair! I'll find one before you!" Shelia shouted.
While this conversation happened, the tamer prepared to cast powerful wind magic. Graham and the others noticed that, but their expression didn't change. Because they have powerful support.
Sunny who has turned big, shot a concentrated magic after absorbing light toward the tamer. And the tamer had no choice but to dodge it.
The light beam was so fast, but the tamer used his wind magic to fly and barely dodged it before he tried to attack Sunny.
"I won't let you!"
By this time, Graham and his clones had gotten so close to the tamer and attacked together.

The enemy might be a master level wind mage, but Graham had three clones with him.
So, when the opponent tried to escape, Graham or his clones have blocked his exit. So he couldn't get far in his escape.
"You are just a freaking monster!" the mage shouted.
"And you're just one human," Graham said.
Even with how powerful he is, he couldn't do much fighting against several enemies with one mind. Soon after, he got his body pierced by spears.
"Ugh... fuck. You said that your master is the strongest. But he will die today! Just like the rest of you!"
That's what the tamer said on his last breath.
"Well, he's the strongest man I know. But my master himself never thought that he's the strongest man in the world. Maybe once in a while he did think so, but at least he's smart. Still, I don't believe that he will die today. He will only die after we destroyed every last members of the cult," Graham said.
But the man he's talking to was already dead.
Graham looked at the surrounding. Some monsters stopped fighting, but some didn't. Those who stopped fighting were tamed by the man he just killed.
But that doesn't mean everyone of them stopped. There's a monster who was not as smart as the others, and continue fighting. But this time, it doesn't care who the enemy is.
And it was charging toward Graham's direction. Trying to kill him.
But before Graham could react, an armored woman riding a horse killed that monster first.
It's Victoria and Ray. They came to help Graham.
"Move! We need to get everyone healed! They are already exhausted!" Victoria shouted.
"Right. I also need to meet that archangel if he's already freed from the contract as well," Graham said.
Graham then flew toward where the archangel he defeated before was fainted at. And on the way, he killed every enemy blocking him, while also cast healing magic to all allies he encountered.
Soon after, he's already at the archangel's side who just had his consciousness regained.
"How do you feel?" Graham asked the archangel.
"I feel... free. Did you kill him?"
"I did. Well, I've done my part. Now I will help my allies. As for you, you are free to do what you want. You can join our side or not. If you don't want to join us, you can leave now so we won't mistake you as our enemies. I don't want to kill you," Graham said.
"I'll join you. I don't know if I can trust your master or not, but I can trust you. If you can help me return to our world, I can even ask the angels following me if they want to join you or not," the archangel said.
"Great. Wear this armband. Wearing this, you will be identified as our ally. My master said that he's glad to have you join us," Graham said.
"Telepathy? Well, tell him that I joined you. I didn't join him," the archangel said.
The two then helped fighting the cult together. With Graham showing the ropes for the newly joined archangel.
With that, Roy's side will grow stronger if he got more recruit from the angels. But that will be for after their mission is over.
732 The Barbarian King's Death
The sea is safe. The orcas will no longer be a problem. And after Graham defeated a master level wind mage who was also a tamer, more monsters were freed.
There were still some monsters belonged to other tamers, and some others who still fight everything out of rage even after being freed. But the others won't be troubled much by them.
The real problems were the master level mages, and other strong monsters who were still under the control of the enemy's tamers.
But after Graham defeated a tamer, it became easier for everyone. Not easy. Just easier.
Everyone continued fighting. Other than those who were injured and needed healing.
But now that everyone is fighting, the enemy's master level mages didn't have any chance at all to use their powerful and destructive magic like before. And other strong tamed monsters also couldn't do such attack as well because they were ordered not to attack their masters.
The monsters, such as dragons, have powerful attack that could be considered as strong as the master level mage's destructive magic. But fortunately for Roy's group, the tamers didn't expect that their order would backfire. And that made things easier for Roy's group.
And those tamers also didn't know that they should order their tamed monsters to not care about their own master. And even if they knew, the monsters would just happily attacked their masters and kill them if possible.
There were many things that the enemies should do but didn't. Especially the enemy's tamers. Which made Roy's group gained some advantages.
.....
Even the, winning is still difficult. The others couldn't easily defeat the enemies they were facing.
It's because of fatigue. The rest they took before raiding the lawless country was not enough to recover their stamina fully. And even if they had Mana Potions, it's not like they can drink them anytime they want. And some even had their bottles of Mana Potion destroyed during a fight.
The only thing they can rely on to recover their stamina is the angels' healing. As for Mana, they can only use magic sparingly and use their most powerful magic only when they are confident that they could kill the enemy in front of them.
And there's another thing to do. It's to raise the morale.
Everyone is too tired. But if their morale raised, they could have more strength to continue fighting.
And there's already a situation where they could get their morale raised. By killing the Barbarian King.
One person is already trying to do it. Alone.
She's Angela. The person who got recognized as the strongest mage in the continent because of one tournament. Though that tournament didn't have any master level mage participating. So it could still be said that Angela is the strongest mage below master level mage.
And in fact, right now, Angela is fighting a master level mage, the Barbarian King, equally.
The Barbarian King was unlike any other master level mage. Even if he only has ice element which has reached master level, he was much stronger than any master level mage that Roy and his friends has ever faced.
Not only he was stronger than any other master level mage. The Barbarian King was also someone with a lot of fighting experience.
The Barbarian King had been a king ever since he defeated the previous king of the lawless country. The pirate who founded the country.
Ever since, he accepted many challenges from other powerful mages. But he defeated them all with just his ice magic.
Even then, all his experience couldn't prepare him from the fight against Angela.
Whenever he attacked with his ice magic, Angela would protect herself with fire magic. And it's not just fire magic.
She made a barrier from wind and fire magic. Which protect her and melt the ice. And she also could combine other elements she has. Like earth and fire. Or even ice and fire. Which made the Barbarian King's simple attack couldn't reach her.
And when he was about to cast slightly more powerful attack, Angela would try to intervene his casting by using her fastest Wind Slash. Combined with earth element to made the Wind Slash more durable, and also fire element to made her Wind Slash melt the Barbarian King's Ice Shield which he made in a hurry.
"What is this? A burning wind? Burning earth? And even burning ice? What are you?!"
The Barbarian King panicked seeing such use of magic for the first time in his life.
"I'm a human. A mage. The person I love called me genius. So I guess I'm a genius," Angela said as she continued attacking the Barbarian King.
"But you're still just an expert level mage!"
Angela's attack were blocked by the Barbarian King who this time used Ice Shield and pushed through. Using brute force.
The Ice Shield melted a bit, but it's still enough time for the Barbarian King to reach Angela even though she tried to retreat.
The Barbarian King is a master level mage. With stronger physical attack than other people. Even more when he sometimes trained in it. By killing those who challenged him for the title of the king without using magic.
A bit like Roy, he had explosive speed enough to reach Angela who had wind magic in split seconds. Even if it's only useful in short distance, it's still enough to reach Angela.
"I bet you never fought a mage like me before."
The Barbarian King confidently said that as he about to throw a punch at Angela. But he would never expect what's coming at him.
Angela swiftly dodged his punch and stood right in front of his open chest.
She then cupped her hands together in front of his chest, and four different elements gathered together there as she was about to release her magic.

"A mage like you? Never. But I have trained in a fight against the strongest fighter," Angela said as she released her magic.
Four elements clashing together concentrated at one point, and exploded right in front of the Barbarian King's chest.
The Barbarian King managed to cover his chest with ice, but the damage was too big. Not on the outside, but his inner organs were destroyed.
"Ugh... what... magic is that?"
"Something I prepared for a close-range fight that I might get a lot in the future. I have been practicing with angels, vampires, and werewolves. Strong humanoid monsters who can fight really well. And also an Aura user. I don't know if we will have to fight others in close-range in the future, but I'm glad that I practiced with them."
Angela replied to the dying man's question. His heart has been partially destroyed, and it's a miracle he could still talk for a bit longer.
"What is... your desire?" the Barbarian King asked.
"To be the strongest mage and achieve everything that I want to get with everyone I love and protect them," Angela replied.
"...That would be difficult. But I hope you who defeated me can achieve your dream."
The Barbarian King finally breathe his last breath. And Angela achieved Victory after a hard battle.
Soon after Angela no longer sensed the Barbarian King's life, she fell on her butt to the ground. Fighting him took everything she got. And she even coughed some blood after overusing so many magic.
The result needed to be announced. But Sonia was still busy fighting other ghosts. So she signaled everyone that the Barbarian King is dead.
She raised her finger to the sky, and with the last bit of Mana she had, she shot a fire that exploded in the sky.
Seeing the firework, everyone paused for a bit before someone finally shouted.
"THE BARBARIAN KING IS DEAD!"
It was Jewel's voice. She was ordered by Roy to shout as loud as possible after seeing the firework as a signal. Telling everyone that the Barbarian King has been killed.
Roy told Angela and Jewel about that plan right before they approached the Barbarian King and the Archbishop. Letting the loudest person other than him to raise the morale of the group.
Roy himself saw what happened. But he was still busy fighting the Archbishop who was surprisingly stronger than anyone he has fought.
That's why he couldn't say anything. He could only observe everything while busy fighting with the enemy in front of him. He couldn't say anything to raise the morale of the group.
The Archbishop was someone very strong. Even after fighting so long, he wasn't tired. Neither was Roy. But the end of the battle still couldn't be seen.
The two were fighting fiercely. Somewhere far from where the others were fighting. But still close enough for Roy to watch the situation with his Divine Vision.
"So this is how strong an Aura user is, huh? I'm kind of disappointed. I'd like to talk more with you, but since he died, I have to get serious before the others can come here," the Archbishop said.
"Don't worry. I haven't been able to use my full strength since I was observing the others fight. Though it is surprising that you're far stronger than anyone I ever fought. Let's end this, shall we?"
733 Cat Archbishop
First, I moved the children away from here. Then, everything started to freeze. After that, there's a huge earthquake and spikes started coming out of the ground trying to stab people who were flying.
What a crazy fight. This is the craziest fight we've ever been in. So crazy that an entire country, small it might be, is destroyed.
Well, at least we don't have to face a lot of enemies at once. Thanks to the master level mages who killed their own people.
Anyway, I grabbed the one who wears the same garb as the previous Archbishop and threw him away to somewhere far from where the others are fighting.
But this time, instead of hitting his head to the ground like the previous Archbishop, he's still fine. In fact, he landed perfectly on the ground like a cat.
This guy...
"You're a beastform mage," I said.
"...I am. And you're the Aura user who have been caused so much trouble to us," he said.
"Whoa, that's surprising. I thought you only know one or two occasions where I caused trouble. But how did you know that I caused more than what you're supposed to be informed about?" I asked.
.....
"I just thought that with how strong we are, we lost too much. And after I heard the rumor about an Aura user, I placed the pieces together and made a conclusion that everything is related to you," he said.
Wow, he's smart! Or that is to be expected since they keep losing and finally found out that there's an Aura user among the enemies they're fighting.
Maybe I will meet more enemies in the future who will be prepared to face against me no matter in what situation.
As for this guy...
"Well, you're actually right. Though I never thought that the first person to say that to me will be a cat," I said.
"Not a cat. A tiger."
"A slightly bigger cat then," I said.
What's different? The only reason tiger is scary is because they are big. But if we think that tiger is just slightly bigger cat, then... no. Cats are all assholes. So it's still bad.
Well, the biggest different is that while cats will give you scratch, tiger will break your neck. Not just tiger. Any big cats can do the same. Lion, leopard, jaguar, cheetah, or panther.
"You might be strong physically. But I'm also strong. I won't lose to an Aura user like you," he said.
He then transformed into a half-tiger. Similar to a werewolf transformation, but this time it's a tiger. And he's different than Jewel who when transformed, she wore armor instead of changing her own appearance.
He's actually pretty fast. Our speed is almost the same.
And he's also a wind mage. So that makes him faster than me if he used wind magic.
But for a close-range fight, I'm better than him. With my Divine Vision and Mind's Eye, I could see his every move.
He lack experience in fighting against another human who is excel in melee combat. Seems like all his experience came from fighting monsters.
But I can't underestimate him. He's this strong when he's not even a master level mage. And he could even sense me looking at him from distance. His animal instinct is too great. It's as if he has been living his whole life in constant danger.
Even when I thought that my sword will hit him, he dodged it even though he shouldn't have seen it coming.
His battle instinct might be greater than Angela. But I won't lose.
But while fighting, I also observed the surrounding. And I see Victoria and Spot leaving the water thinking that it's best to let the orcas be.
"FOCUS ON THE ORCAS FIRST!" I shouted.
A hundred of orcas, with many of them bigger than ordinary orca, could create powerful wave like tsunami.
And what I feared happened. But I can't go and help the others since I'm busy fighting this cat-man.
"Where are you looking at?!" the cat-man shouted.
He thinks that I made an opening for him to attack. But my reaction was faster.
Even when he tried to dodge, he has an obvious weakness. His priest robe. Or is it an archbishop robe?
I grabbed the hem of his robe and pulled it hard. He couldn't escape anymore.
Then I lifted him up before throwing him to the ground. But while he's mid-air, he used his claws to cut the robe.
"Hey, isn't this robe expensive?"
"Defeating you comes first!"
Damn. I hate to face someone experienced in real fight. And I think there will be more people like that in the future. Enemies I have to defeat.
By this time, Victoria and Ray defeated an orca that might be the leader of the orcas. Seeing them being surrounded in the middle of the sea, I summoned the two of them when I have the chance.
"Good job. Take care of the rest!"
I said to my two familiars. They also saw me busy with the cat-man before they left to the sea again.
Our fight continued, I could see that Graham has killed a master level mage. And that mage seem to be a tamer. So our fight becomes easier.
Not for me. It's still hard to fight this cat-man.
He's so agile. And his body is extremely flexible. It's hard to get a solid hit against him.
I guess I need to bring it out.

I stopped using the Blobbysword, and opened a portal to grab another weapon. A sword. But with a cane that can create barrier when I drew a circle with it. It doesn't have to be a circle though.
If the enemy can move freely and difficult to catch, then I just need to make our battlefield smaller.
I fought the cat-man while dragging the cane on the ground. Trying to make a circle.
But the cat-man move too freely that I have to give up several times and create another circle.
We keep chasing each other and ended up at where I first started the circle. The first incomplete circle.
"Well, it won't be as small as I wanted, but it's better than nothing," I said to myself.
"What? Are you giving up?"
The cat-man tried to slash me with his claws. Similar to the werewolves, he could also attack from distance. Adding his wind element, it's even stronger than the werewolves' attack.
"No. I'm just finishing drawing a circle. Well, it's not really a circle. But at least we're in it," I said.
I connected the other incomplete circle and completed it. And a wall was created and covering us both in it.
It's a weird shape because it's not a circle. So the wall didn't became a dome. Just weird.
"What is this?! I can't get out!"
"Well, that is a wall as you can see. I created it with the help of this cane. Now, you can no longer escape. I'd like to continue the fight, but let me ask this before we fight. Do you know where the God you worshiped is? I'm trying to kill him, you see," I said.
"Don't know. Don't care. I joined this group because they gave me meals and a chance to survive. I only do what they told me to do and they started to call me the Archbishop and forced me to wear that robe. I don't care as long as I can survive," he said.
"Well, if I capture you for interrogation, and after you tell us everything you know and asked whether you want to join us or not, what will your answer be?" I asked.
"That's funny. Even after doing all this shit, and you might even kill me here today, I still can't see any future where you can win for some reason. For my survival, I will chose to not change side. You asked me that because you know what my answer will be, right?"
"Actually, yeah. You are far more dangerous and smarter than others from the cult. Even if you said that you wanted to join us, if you think that the cult can give you better survival rate, you will choose that side and betray us in the future. It's best if I kill you right here," I said.
"Only if you can! Even if you trap me here, I will still fight!"
This guy joined the cult for survival. So, even if someone other than the cult found him first and helped him, he will still choose to join the cult once he feel that his survival rate will increase there.
And he fully understands something. No. We both fully understand one thing now.
It's either him who will die, or me. There's no changing side at all.
His instinct must have told him that he has to kill me no matter what to survive. And I also think that he shouldn't be left alive no matter what.
He will be dangerous if we leave him be. Because I feel that even if Albert asked him if he wanted to join us, he will answer it honestly that he will join us. And Albert will believe it. Because for this cat-man, he can only survive if he joined us.
But that doesn't mean he will stay. He will betray us and join the cult once he feel that he will survive if he joins the cult.
He's similar to me in my past life. Having various ways to survive. In my case, I called it Shameless Survival Arts.
But in the end, I was not as shameless as this cat-man. Because I have my own principle. To not join the cult who made everyone suffers so much.
And this guy will join anyone who will increase his survival rate. That's why I have to kill him now.
734 Defeating the Cat
This might be a closed space. But the cat-man is extremely agile.
Even if I could catch up with him, he used his flexibility to dodge my attack and even tried to counter.
It has been quite a while since we fought. Even Angela had killed the Barbarian King already. Hurray for the rise of the new Queen!
Well, she won't be the queen though. This territory will be given to Varadis who will take care of it.
There are still monsters at the sea, the sky, and the land. But more and more tamers have been defeated, so those monsters won't be a problem for long.
Even the archangel that Graham defeated has joined us. Or more like he decided to follow Graham. But that's good enough.
Graham also told me telepathically that the newly joined archangel will ask his angel followers to join Graham at the Monsters Village once I returned him to the Monsters World. More healers are always welcomed.
Some of the monsters decided to retreat. And that makes the fight become smoother.
Everyone is tired, but they still fight. Even the angels started to get exhausted. So, the fewer the enemies, the better it is for us.
.....
As for me, I still took my time facing this cat-man. He's different from any close-combat fighter I have ever fought. Including the werewolves.
His agility and flexibility from transforming into a half-cat half-human taught me a lot. Not the impossible movement that I can't do with a normal human body. But I still learn a lot.
He's experienced in true hardship. He grew up with survival at any cost. And since he had no choice but to kill me if he doesn't want to die, we continue fighting.
Not only his half-human half-cat transformation is annoying. His beast transformation is also annoying.
Just like Jewel, he has learned many kind of cats to transform to. From a cat specialized in speed, cat specialized in sneak attack, or a sabertooth tiger that could hurt me with his large fangs even though I protected myself with the armor and Aura.
But with how this place is covered thanks to the Aura weapon I have, he couldn't use his speed to its full potential. And sneak attack is impossible with how I can use Divine Vision and Mind's Eye.
To be honest, I can kill him easily at this point. But I wanted to grow stronger more. If he could damage me, there could be other enemies that can kill me.
He's afraid of the cult. He won't join us, and even if he join, I'm sure he will betray us for the cult.
Why is that? It's because of his instinct.
His instinct told him that there's a being who is far stronger than me. Someone who is impossible for this cat-man to kill. Maybe there are more than one of them.
This guy is afraid of them. The cat-man didn't think that he could survive if he betray them. That's why he will risk everything here to kill me.

"Why don't you just die?!" he shouted.
"Because I'm stronger than you. Soon, I will kill you with ease. Not now though," I replied.
I only used the sword that came with the cane after I caught him in this barrier. My swordsmanship seem to have gotten better now.
Over time, he has injured me several times. But now, it was no more than a skin-deep scratch that don't even hurt and healed in just a few seconds.
When I first captured him, he used his speed and power to attack me. He left a claw mark on my chest.
And after a few more times, I no longer need to use Aura to protect my body. the skin-deep wound doesn't hurt and it's a waste to keep using Aura against him.
By this time, each attack he sends couldn't even touch me. It's time to counter attack.
"Thanks to you, I have grown even stronger."
The more we fight, the more frustrated he becomes. His attacks becomes fiercer and faster. But more predictable as well.
As everything he used on me didn't work, he finally charges at me head-on. With his sabertooth tiger form about to pierce my head with his teeth.
I also had enough. I don't think fighting any more will make me any stronger than this. I will still gain experience, but it's not the time since the others haven't finished fighting yet.
Even if they don't need my help, I will help them. We don't know if we're still going to fight after this or not.
But most likely, we will. After this, I will return back to the Monsters World. To the destroyed base of the cult and wait for the cult to deliver their supplies.
At that time, they will know that the base has been destroyed. But my goal is to put at least one Blobby into any opened portal at that time if possible.
And I don't know if we will attack those places right away or not. Though I hope that I can take a rest before that.
In front of the charging sabertooth tiger, I stabbed my sword to the ground and prepare myself to receive the attack unarmed.
"Come at me, overgrown cat!"
When the sabertooth tiger get closer, I grabbed his two huge fangs with each hand and stopped him.
Then I threw him to the ground. Headfirst. And it was so strong that his two large teeth that I grabbed were removed.
This is also the first time he falls on the ground but didn't land foot first. Must be weird for a cat to receive fall damage like this.
It's not just fall damage though. After his head was slammed on the ground, I pressed my knee into his head.
"Well, as a fellow survivalist, how about you tell me everything you know about the cult? I want to know if it's possible for me to kill the Evil God. Tell me before I kill you with your own teeth," I said.
"Hooweoh..."
"Oh, right. You can't talk with your mouth like that eating dirt," I said.
How could I be so stupid that I pressed his head to the ground and asked him question?
Or maybe I'm not stupid. I was only trying to kill him since anything come out of him won't necessarily be correct.
"Hyawawaheh."
"...Fine, I will release you so you can speak," I said before I lifted my knee from his head.
"...I now know that I have no chance against either you, or the one we worshiped. But from our fight, I had a feeling that the True God will be stronger than you," he said.
"Will be? Not already strong enough?"
"I don't know. It's just a feeling. I don't know about anything else. I'm also under a masked man calling himself the Archbishop who picked me to be another Archbishop. I only followed order. That's all I do," he said.
I don't think he's lying. He has truly given up on survival.
"Thanks for the info. I won't kill you with your teeth anymore. That seem painful. I'll make it quick and painless," I said as I grabbed the sword I previously stabbed on the ground.
"Fellow survivalist, huh? But you have a big ambition unlike me. I hope you can get what you want then."
That was his last words before I cut his neck.
Seriously, if only he's not with the cult, I'm sure that we could be good friends. And I could add more skill to put in my Shameless Survival Arts together with him.
Though he did teach me another thing other than fighting experience. That surviving is not shameless.
I guess our biggest difference was that I have a bit of pride in me. That's why I called it Shameless Survival Arts.
But for him, survival is not shameless at all. I guess he experienced much more hardship than I did.
Well, that's that. We have killed two of the strongest enemies in this lawless country.
Next is... to destroy the barrier I made myself and get out.
I concentrated Aura on my fist and punched through the barrier. I spent a lot of time fighting that one cat. Now I need to help the others.
There are still several master level mages in this place. Angela has helped the others, but it's still difficult since the master level mages started working together.
They have tried to use another powerful magic by getting other mages to protect them. But so far, their plan failed.
And now, I have joined the fight. There's no need to worry about another large-scale magic.
It took some time before we defeated and captured the rest of the master level mages and tamers. As for the remaining monsters, those whose contract is still valid since their masters were captured, I transported them to some place in Monsters World. Far from where the tamers can contact them.
Of course the tamers have collars wrapped on their neck so they can't use any magic as well. So there shouldn't be any problem with monsters for now.
Since they're master level mages, I broke their bones and dislocated their joints before transporting them to prison.
It's over. Finally our main objective for this mission has been completed.
There are still more problem ahead though. I wish I can take a rest right away.
735 Sacrificing the Vampires
"So... is there anything else for us to do?" I asked Kayla.
"Return back to Monsters World. This place will be completely investigated by people from Varadis that old man Henry sent. We don't need to do anything else here," she said.
"I see. Gather everyone then except those who are from Varadis, I will return everyone back to their own country," I said.
"You're done? Shouldn't there be a supply coming from the cult to the destroyed base?" Kayla asked.
"Yes. But everyone is too tired. I'll just bring the monsters with me. Also some other who are willing to help, I guess. But I don't plan to enter their portal anymore. I'll continue thinking about how I will throw a Blobby into the portal. You too, take some rest. You're already tired from healing everyone," I said to Kayla.
"Okay then. I will call everyone," she said.
Soon after, everyone except those from Varadis gathered. I opened portals for them to return to Consenza, Arturo, and Tatrama. Derek and some master level mages who said that they're going to join us went separate ways.
Derek will meet Albert, while the other master level mages will go to Consenza and meet Celestine.
They are the master level mages who are related to the kids or guardians of the kids that I captured and brought to Consenza. They will meet the kids first to make sure of their safety.
.....
Claudia said that she has a plan to make sure that the master level mages wont betray us and asked me to send some strong people as well just in case. So I got Angela and Kron there. Claudia said that one is enough, but I sent two anyway.
If they can convince the master level mages to join us, that would be great. I also asked Claudia if I need to bring Albert or not. She said that it doesn't have to be right away. But taking Albert to them is still essential so we can tell if they're going to betray us or not.
I don't think any of them, or anyone at all, has similar mindset to the cat-man. So I don't need to worry about being betrayed if Albert says so.
Still, if they can change side easily just by getting the kids to safety, that also means that they can go back to the cult if the kids are taken hostages. That's why we need to make sure that the children will be in a safe place.
Everyone returns back to their own country. Spot and his children left as well. But they didn't enter the portal. They left from the sea.
It leaves me, the werewolves, the angels, and the vampires in this place. There's also an archangel that I just met. He's the one that Graham told me about.
"Let's go to Monsters World then. Graham, you and that archangel will enter the portal to the village," I said.
"Understood."
The two entered the village while the rest of us returned back to the destroyed base.
"Roy, if any of the place connected to villages or cities similar to the previous locations, I don't think just us will be enough," Victoria said.
"I know. Our goal is not to fight them. We're just going to make sure that we can at least throw a single Blobby into the portal once it opened. Victoria, create as many clones as possible and share them with everyone," I said.
This is the only thing I can do for now. Even the monsters are tired. Maybe some werewolves wanted to continue fighting, but I won't let them. Even after we destroyed several bases in our world, the Evil God still hasn't been found. We need as many helper as possible.
Also, the cat-man said that the one called Evil God should be much stronger than us. We still can't rest easy it seems.
It may just be his instinct. But for some reason, I can't say that he's wrong.
We're resting in the buildings that our earth mages previously built. They're still here. After the raid on the two villages, we raised some buildings for us to rest. And it's still there.
According to the schedule, there should be less than an hour left before they open a portal to deliver supplies. But they can still come anytime they want.
So we waited. But soon after, we have guests.
"What happened here? Everything is destroyed."
The one who asked was a vampire. He's the one that still remains in the old vampire castle. Along with other vampires who were charmed by Arin.
And I have a good idea.
"Arin, you said that it's fine if the vampires here died, right?" I asked Arin who was next to me after drinking a bit of my blood.
"Yes I did," she replied.
"But don't you have the instinct to breed? Having kids in the future?" I asked.
"We don't need to breed with the same race. Us humanoid monsters can breed with humans or other humanoid monsters. That's how Graham can create shadow clones. And non-humanoid monsters can also breed with different races as long as they are similar to each others. Just like Spot's parents who are Sea Serpent and Sky Serpent," Arin said.
Oh, right. I forgot about them. Though my purpose of asking her is not about whether I can breed with the vampires or not.
"I see. Then I will use those vampires' death in my plan. Arin, follow me," I said as I left the building we're resting in and greeted the vampires.
"Lady Arin! You're here!" the vampire who just arrived said.
"I am. And we have something to say."
I have told Arin what our plan will be.

Arin then let me talk to the vampires.
"Sorry, but due to some circumstances, we needed to destroy this place. But don't worry. In less than one hour, a portal will be opened to somewhere with a lot of humans. Even more than any that you've seen in this place. So, you can enter there and have a feast there as much as you like. In fact, it's actually an order from Arin herself. But I don't want you to risk your lives for—"
I haven't finished talking when the vampires suddenly shout.
"We will do it! If it's Lady Arin's wish, we will do it! Even if the others don't want to do it, I will go by myself!"
"What are you talking about?! I will go as well! You think you can gain Lady Arin's favor by saying that?"
"Shut up! Wait, no. Just continue fighting so you will be too tired to go. I will go instead."
And the vampires started arguing and say that they will go instead of the others. That's great.
I said that it was Arin's order because if any of them got tamed, and forced to talk, they will be asked who destroyed the base and why they entered the portal.
All blame will be on Arin. The Vampire Queen. She will be targeted by the cult. But she said that it's fine. It's not like anyone can tell if she's a vampire or not just by looking. She's pretty much look like a human.
Well, I just need to protect her even more. Though even if I don't protect her, I think she's strong enough to handle some small fries. If there's someone she can't handle, then that person should be stronger than any average master level mage.
"Okay. That's great. I salute your resolve to help Arin," I said to the vampires to stop their stupid argument. They all just need to go and die. Though it would be great if they didn't die and continue terrorizing the place they go to.
I also patted their shoulder and marked each of them with several Blobbies. This way, once they entered the portal, I will have a transfer point ready.
From my observation when I disguised myself as someone living in the base, I know that they only have one place from where they transferred the supplies from. But there were several summoners from there. So they each opened a portal from the same place and deliver the supplies for the people in the base.
So, as long as the vampire can enter the portal, even if it's just one of them, then mission is over. We can take care of that place later.
But I also need someone to confirm the location of that place as well. That's why on those Blobbies I used to mark the vampires, some of them have Sonia's soil. That way, she can teleport there right away to inform us where she is.
After that, we waited for a while and several portals were opened together.
The people inside the portal were shocked to see that the place they delivered supply to everyday has been destroyed. And there were some monsters in front of them to make them think that it was the monsters who were responsible for the destruction of the base.
I told the monsters to act menacing in front of the portal. With the vampires ready to enter the portals once they're opened.
When the people watching were shocked, the vampires made their move. And they entered the portal easily.
"Close the portal! Monsters have destroyed the base! Don't let any more of them enter!"
One of the summoner shouted. But it's too late. The vampires have entered.
Now I have the location marked. And Sonia can get there easily.
Now... let's go home.
736 To Advertise My Store
After the vampires entered the portal, I contacted Albert and then left the destroyed base of the cult after bringing in some agents and some werewolves to watch over this place in case more members of the cult come.
We don't know how many more location is connected to this place. Even the previous supply base, although there were several portals, they were all connected only to one place.
I returned the angels to the village and brought Arin and the vampires back home with me. For them, their home is in our world. As for the werewolves, they said that they want to stay and watch. Hoping that those who will come are strong mages.
Then after I returned to my own room and lay on the bed, I was instantly hit by fatigue and fell asleep.
I might be the one with the most stamina. Not counting the monsters obviously. But I have been on a mission to stay in that base for days.
And after that, I had to go into so many fights. It was so exhausting. But a few hours of sleep should be enough for me to recover.
Healing magic might recover my stamina. But that doesn't mean our fatigue will disappear.
Using healing magic to repeatedly recover your stamina over and over again will only make your body suffers. That's why one shouldn't use it too many times unless it's necessary. Or your body, no matter how strong you are, will break down.
Well, I have told the others to be careful. Their body is their most important assets after all. We have witnessed several master level mages who could fight well in close combat. So I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to recover their stamina many times with healing magic after the fight.
.....
By the way, Kayla learned how to use stamina recovery magic instead of healing magic. She taught that to the angels and all healer so they could spend fewer Mana to just recover our stamina. That's the magic that Kayla and other healers mostly used for the fight in the lawless country.
She's smart. She thought that with magic control, not only she can concentrate her healing magic to just one injured area, but also to separate healing and recovering stamina.
I woke up in time for breakfast. I was no longer feel exhausted. Just feeling that I would love to sleep a bit more. But I have skipped meals for a few times. I also eaten far less than usual since I stayed in that base for a while.
Even more, it has been quite a while since I last eat anything that Lina cooked. So I had a feast for myself and the children. While the others were still sleeping.
Everyone is also tired from the continuous fight. Though I fought more than them.
I can see they are sleeping well. Even after the smell of Lina's cooking spread to the whole place, they wouldn't wake up at all. That's how I can have all the food for myself.
"That was delicious, Lina. You're the best maid ever!" I complimented Lina.
As usual, she would turn shy after my compliment. I guess even after so many compliments, she is not immune yet to compliments from me. But that's fine. She's cute when I teaased her like that.
Anyway, what should I do now? Everyone is tired, and I don't think I can go back to sleep again. Is there anything I can do today?
"Roy, how about checking your clothing store? We got the girls from the inn to work there, right? Then after that, we can check on other girls we brought here. They're supposed to be somewhere near Cassau," Victoria suggested.
Right. I forgot about them.
I don't really care about other girls, but for those who worked at the inn I stayed, they are supposed to be my staffs in my clothing store. It would be great if they decided to stay and work for me.
As for other girls, I'll check on them later. I think the agents have done well in taking care of them.
I used Divine Vision to see the place they're supposed to be. But I think it's further than the range of my Divine Vision. I couldn't see it.
Well, that's good then. I know that there were some girls who were still have faith with the cult and started fighting. Since the place I moved them was far from the city, I don't think anyone in the city knows anything about the fight.
And there are still some agents taking care of them. I'll check on them after I check my clothing store. And if they want to work at my clothing store as well, that would be great.
As for my store, those girls are cleaning the store before opening. I think they can do the job well. Let's go there then.
I told Lina that I'm checking on my store. I don't want the others to worry about me as soon as they wake up. Seeing that I'm not home, they will think that there's a situation where I have to make an appearance. They need to relax after a long fight.
I walked to my store and was greeted by, "We're not open yet!"
"...I'm the owner of the store, though? I see that you have been working here well. How's the others?" I asked.
The woman who greeted me was one of the girls who returned to this world first and worked in the clothing store before the rest of the inn staffs came. She along with a few others have been asked to work here. I think the salary is quite good.
"Oh, Boss! Everyone will start working from tomorrow. Now we have way too many workers for just one store so we can't have everyone work together," she said.
Including the staffs I originally employed, there are indeed too many girls working here. And it's quite a popular store. After all, it has fashion from another world. Lighter clothes, more fashionable, and more colorful. All the girls in the city have entered this store at least once.

There are also some clothes for men. But most men don't really think about fashion themselves. Though most of those who came here were because their wives or lovers asked them to come.
Right. I need to open up another store right away. I think Ian already prepared a store in the capital.
By the way, the store is only responsible for selling clothes. As for the production, it's also here in Cassau. Maybe I'll get those who are good with their hands to work in the production as well.
I looked at inside the store and see that everyone is helping to prepare the store. So I asked the girl in front off me to gather everyone.
When I asked, some girls have experience with sewing. So I asked them to work in the production of the clothes. There can't never be enough worker for the production with how popular our clothes are. Even more since I want to open a new store.
It also means that I need a bigger factory for the production of the clothes. Maybe with more variations of clothes as well. I'll ask Victoria to handle it then. She has more creativity than I do. There's even a ninja costume for sale. It's similar to the Ninja costume I wore to disguise myself in the past.
"Well, it's just one day since I brought you all here. You can think again if you want to work for me or not. You are free to choose what you want to do now. I'm just giving you an opportunity to work with me," I said.
Although everyone didn't give a direct answer right away, they are already interested in working with me. I know that it's because they wanted to wear the clothes that are on sale.
"Well, while I prepare for another store, those who doesn't have any work can wear any clothes here if you want to go out. It's also great for advertising my store. Just tell anyone who asked where you can buy the clothes you wear," I said.
Just having girls wearing the clothes can advertise my store. It's simple.
After that, I move to where they keep other girls are. It looks like a prison, but they are free to do what they want.
I also offered them the same offer. Those who are good with their hands can work in the production. I also brought a lot of clothes for them so they can wear them when they enter the city.
Grabbing all the girls so I can advertise my store. What a great plan!
Well, not everyone wanted to work for me. Some have something that they want to do. Like becoming a hunter. But I still gave them some clothes from my store.
"Do we need to keep them here any longer?" I asked the agent responsible for taking care of them.
"We were told to let you make the decision," she said.
"Okay. Then, everyone can go to the city. I'll open a portal to my home, and then I will give each of you some money enough to stay at an inn for a few weeks. I still need time to open another store. If you find anything you want to do during your walk, you don't have to return and inform me about it," I said.
I also told them to greet the others in the store first. And to inform those at the store if they want to come back for work.
With this, these girls wearing fashionable clothes will enter and leave my store and make everyone curious about the store. More money for me.
I guess I don't need to think much about what they're going to do after this. It feels nice to do something good once in a while.
737 The Captured Children's Guardians
After I finished with the girls, it's time for the kids.
I opened a portal to Consenza to check on Celestine and the kids I brought over from the lawless country. And the master level mages who joined us mid-battle in the lawless country are there as well.
From what I've heard, none of the master level mages cause trouble. That's good. They are truly thinking of the children.
The location where I brought those kids before is quite a distance from the capital of Consenza. Just in case the master level mages cause trouble. But seems like they won't attack us at all.
Anyway, those master level mages don't feel like the cat-man. I don't think they will just go and betray us easily. Though whether they will join us or not is still to be asked.
I want to bring Albert here to meet them, but I will refrain to do so first.
Sonia is checking on the place where they delivered supplies from. I don't know where that place is located. If there's any agent from any of the four countries, Sonia should be able to find them since they supposed to have the soil from her land. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
A city big enough to have that much supply, but there's no agent there. That's suspicious.
As a rule ever since we made the alliance, there should be at least two agents carrying the soil from Sonia's land in every city agents were dispatched. But in that place, there's no sign of the soil at all.
.....
So, it's highly likely that there won't be any agents there.
There's also a chance that the agents sent over there were found and the soil is somehow disappear. But if that happens, that mean they know what the soil is for.
But unless we have traitors, it shouldn't be possible for anyone to know about the soil. Unless someone out there capable to sense traces of Charm magic in the soil.
Too much thinking. My brain can't take it. Again, I will leave the thinking to the others.
If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game
Other than for fighting and medical knowledge, I'm not really good at thinking about other things. Maybe I should also leave the store management to someone else. I guess the inn-owner of the inn I stayed in the cult's base should be good enough to do it. But I haven't heard about her saying that she's going to do it.
I'll ask her later. For now, it's the children and the master level mages here.
Some distance from the capital of Consenza, there's a village newly built. It's created by Celestine's and others' earth magic. It was supposed to be a temporary shelter, but Celestine was just that good at magic so the buildings were strong enough to stand for decades. Not like a village at all.
"Celestine, how is it?" I asked.
"The kids have trouble adapting to peaceful life here. And the master level mages and other adults who are the guardians of the kids take turns in protecting the kids. So we built the largest building over there for the kids and their guardians to stay. The adults still don't trust us yet," she said.
"Obviously. After all, what I did was basically kidnapping. And now that they will live differently, they have to adapt. They should be introduced to live in a city somewhere. But I guess everyone is too busy right now that they can't do it. Am I right?" I asked.
"That's right. Lynn and Claudia said that it's best for them to stay here before they can go to a city. Even if they go to a city, someone need to watch over them. But we still don't know the location of the city Sonia is currently scouting. If it's anywhere within our territory, then we need to get ready for it. That's why we can't spare many people to watch over the kids. And leaving them to civilians to watch is difficult," she said.
Leaving these kids who would even grab a weapon to kill someone right away to civilians is out of the question indeed. Even now, some of the kids already started brawling. The adults watching over them then used magic to separate the brawling kids.
I don't think they could even have a peaceful live. But what if they become trained as agents? Or maybe just soldiers if they want to fight that badly.
Once those kids awakened their magic elements, they could use it for crimes and got themselves arrested right away.
As someone who also takes care of children, I don't want any kids to grow up and sent to jail right away. We need someone to teach them something.
Then I meet the kids guardians and the master level mages. I told them my concerns.
"Well... we want to do that if possible. I don't want them to grow up like us and do bad things. Unfortunately, we were born there as well. And we grew up committing crimes to survive. We only learned we're not normal once we're adults. Even then, for us, this is normal and we don't know how to change it," one of the master level mage said that.
She's the master level mage that helped me after knowing that I brought the kids to safety. She helped me after I delivered her sister and nieces here. And her sister is here as well.
I looked at everyone, and all of them seems to have the same mindset. They want these kids to live peacefully.
So I just said the truth to them.
"You do know that peaceful life is impossible at the moment, right? We have the cult that you used to be the member of. They wanted world destruction. The only way for the kids to life in peace is to let them be ignorant about the world. Or if the cult is destroyed before the kids grow up," I said.
"So... you want us to join you in destroying the cult?" the female master level mage asked.
"That would be great. But you can think about the answer later. For now, I want to hear from those who knows the relationship between that country and the cult is. I saw your king was having a discussion with someone from the cult. And I don't think that those of you who have reached master level did it by yourselves. The cult must have some involvement in making more people reach master level."
Some of them left to take care of the kids while the rest are here talking with me.
They were indeed members of the cult. Or those who were not, know the connection between the country and the cult.
It was originally a country founded by a pirate. Originally with the intention to have everyone be free. But soon after, he was killed by the Barbarian King. So, instead of being a free country away from nobility and people in high position to rule over the civilians, it became country where nothing matters.
Instead of freedom, it's called lawless.
I heard that at first, Varadis didn't even care about the country. But after the Barbarian King took over, everything changed.
And how did the Barbarian King defeat the first ruler of the country? He has reached master level in his ice element before fighting. And ever since, he only grow stronger.
And yes, the reason he could become strong was because of the cult's help. There's even one person here who used to be under the Barbarian King directly and was also involved with the cult directly. Good thing he turned over.
Yup. I understand one thing after hearing everything. It's that I... don't really care about it. I shouldn't have asked then. It's just a waste of time.
"I don't know when, but sooner or later, you will meet someone important who will probably ask you the same question I asked. Just tell them everything. They will decide what to do with you. As for me, what I can do for you and the kids, is to give you a job if you need any. Though it won't be right away," I said.
They became confused after I said that. But it's true. Listening to how and why something happened will make me lose my interest too soon. Unless it's something important to me. But their story doesn't interest me at all.
I just promise them an opening for a job if any of them want to. I guess I should ask Claudia to prepare a location for me to open my store and the production factory here. And I'll ask the other kings as well later.
At least from what I've seen here, the master level mages and the kids' guardians don't have any interest in fighting us. I didn't sense any hostility from them.
But is it safe now? No. Because I can feel hostility from the kids. Probably from those who tried to stab me before when I was carrying them.
It will be bad if those kids have been taught bad things and to join the cult. I hope the kids won't think of being our enemy.
Anyway... I'm here. But where are Angela and Kron? They're supposed to be here, right?
738 They are Exploring Dungeon
"Why are you guys exploring dungeons?" I asked the two people in front of me. Angela and Kron.
After my business with the people I brought from the lawless country is over, I asked Claudia where Angela and Kron are. They're supposed to be there in case the master level mages from the lawless country wanted to fight back.
Well, in the end, they are staying here peacefully. But that doesn't mean it's fine to leave them be. Celestine is the only one here who can fight the master level mages. That's why I'm worried.
Claudia then told me that after they had confirmed that the master level mages won't think of fighting back, she let the two of them to rest in the palace.
But those two are not normal.
While the others are still sleeping because of exhaustion, they felt that they already rested enough and ask Claudia about any dungeons nearby for them to attack.
Well, that's just what they're thinking. Their body obviously still feel the fatigue from the long battle.
In fact, after I entered the dungeon they're attacking, I could see that the two of them were in difficult situation even though they're just facing a weak golem that they should be able to defeat easily if they're in their normal condition.
So I helped them before they hurt themselves and asked them why they're here.
.....
"I'm bored. I want to train more," Angela replied.
"Yeah. Staying still in one place without doing anything is not good for us. And I have never been to a dungeon in Consenza. It's interesting," Kron said.
"Sigh... You don't even remember how tired your body is and started to explore dungeon right away. That's how you two were almost got killed by a mere golem. You two are too tired and had been exposed to Stamina Recovery magic by the angels too much. You need rest even if you don't like it," I said.
They are not like me. So their stamina recovered slowly. And even after moving and fighting so much, their body won't recover easily like I do.
Maybe it's an Aura user thing. No one other than Aura user can understand my body. Like how can I stay up for several days without getting myself exhauster, right?
"I thought I'm fine. But being this exhausted, I can't control my magic well," Angela said.
This happens once in a while. Her instinct is wrong. Just like how she got hurt in Rygis.
Maybe I shouldn't tell her to trust her instinct too much. I will only be more and more worried about her if she does. I should get someone to stick around Angela so she won't get herself hurt. But who?
I'll just trust her a bit longer. After this event, she should realize to not trust her instinct the whole time. Though other than for fighting or to grow stronger, her instincts were rarely wrong. So if it's to make her stronger, I will believe her.
But not this time. She didn't explore dungeon because she thinks that she can grow stronger. She's just bored.
"In any case, let's get out of here. The condition of your body affect your mind and your Mana as well. If your body is tired, even if you don't know it, you will feel it in your mind and when you're using magic," I said.
"Roy, do you ever experienced that? I thought that you only fight with your body so you don't feel it that much," Kron asked.
"Of course I felt that when I'm too tired after training myself. But unlike you, if I feel that my magic became harder to control, I let my body fight. I can do that. Rather, that's what I'm best at," I said.
One of my training that I have done was to exhaust my body to the limit, and fight while being tired. I dit it when I'm going to train alone or with Victoria.
This is something from Victoria's world. And I confirm the theory using my own body.
When I tire my body to the limit, after resting enough, my body will recover quickly. And my body will also be stronger after a good rest. Albeit just slightly. But the improvement is essential to get even stronger.
I don't know about other people, but it is the truth for my body. Though as a doctor, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. And it's too dangerous if you're in the wild or in the enemy's territory, and can't fight anymore.
The only reason I could do it was because I checked for a safe place before I trained in this way. Or when I have Victoria with me because once I'm tired, I can just let Victoria turns into my armor covering my whole body, and move me away to safety if I'm tired.
I can't really use portal in this situation. Because the magic is too unstable.
"...Aura user is such a cheat. I want to be one too. But I guess magic is more suited for me," Kron said.
"Well, Aura user is a cheat indeed. But know that the enemy we're facing is someone who killed all Aura users in the past to the point of extinction. Even if I'm strong, I don't know if I can kill that Evil God or not," I said.
But at least I want to do it quickly. If we wait too long, I don't know how strong the Evil God will be.
If he could reach the level at which he killed all the Aura users after in the past, my chance of winning is low.
Though one thing I know is that during the time he eradicated all Aura users, during Sonia's and Victoria's time, there shouldn't be anyone who have reached the level of Aura Master like Timmy.
I'm sure that Timmy knew something about the Evil God. There's no way that he wouldn't know anything about the Evil God after living for so long. But he never told us anything about it.
He seriously only intended to raise another Aura Master instead of caring about the world at all.
Seeking strength or teaching other people is fine. But being ignorant is not fine. Though unless he's strong and no one can fight him, I guess it's fine being ignorant about the world. He can just kill anyone in his way.

"For now, let's leave this place. Unless you want to watch me fight the golem coming here since you can't fight," I said.
"I'll watch!" Angela shouted.
"Me too," Kron also wanted to watch.
And on his shoulder, Breezy is chatting with Airy about his adventure with Kron.
They're siblings. But they are separated because Breezy wanted a lot of adventure, while Airy just want to stick with me who is an air mage. So when they meet, not in the middle of battle, they both happily chatted about their own adventures to each other. What a close siblings.
Since Angela and Kron wanted to watch, I guess I'll fight.
Since my body, even though my stamina is recovered, it is still tired from all the fighting. So I will only use my magic for portal, and not to breathe. I'll just fight using Victorihammer and Aura.
The dungeon is wide. And a ten meters golem can easily fight here. That's the enemy I'm facing.
To be honest, I also feel bored. And I'm tired of fighting powerful enemies.
So when the golem is in front of me, I swung the hammer as strong as possible without holding back. I want to feel good about myself how I can defeat strong monster easily.
I saw where the core of the golem is. All the golem, the monsters and not golem created using earth magic, has a core in it. And the golem will die if the core is destroyed.
...Though any golem created by earth mages also has a core. It's the mages themselves.
The core is protected by metal and not rocks. But I swung Victorihammer at it and destroyed the core easily. Well, the hammer is quite big. So the golem didn't just die. The location where core is also flattened.
Now I feel good. After fighting strong enemies for the whole day, I defeated a monster which was supposed to be difficult for any A-rank hunters to defeat.
"Right. Defeating monsters this easily is a good way to relieve some stresses," I said.
"But you complained how we entered a dungeon because we're bored!" Kron complained.
"That's because you fight using magic, while I don't. Let's go back and this time, you two will take a rest for real. Don't do anything stupid and just rest," I said.
Then I opened a portal back to Cassau. Claudia already given me permission tor eturn them back since there's no more need for them to be here.
As expected. When they return back to their own room, right after they lay down on the bed, they fell asleep. And they're trying to push themselves by entering a dungeon?
Maybe they just can't take a rest sleeping in the palace. At least if they're here, they know that they can take it easy because they're safe. That's why I brought them here.
Now, is there anything else I should do today? I think I will also take it easy for today and enjoy myself.
739 Being a Kind Professor
After returning Angela and Kron to Cassau, I also took a nap for a bit before leaving again.
This time, I have no destination to go. Sonia is still trying to find out where she is located at, and none of the kings asked me to do anything. Or maybe it's because Sonia is too busy to be of help right now.
Whatever the case, I'm not busy now. I think I'll go to the circus later tonight. But it's still afternoon so I will take a walk in Cassau.
I don't know what to do so I just entered cafe, restaurant, bar, and any other places I haven't been to. Those place were open quite recently so I have never been there before.
I also checked to see if there's any cult members in the city. Since it has been a while that I checked the city, there might be some new residents who were part of the cult. Or maybe it's hunters who just recently traveled here.
No one I found has explosive device in their mouth. Although there were some that I suspect to be expert level mages. But if it's just expert level mages, I don't think there will be any trouble. The guards here are already strong enough to handle some expert level mages if they work together.
As for master level mages, there's no one here reached that level yet. Or they would know that I'm looking at them.
I guess Cassau is safe. Maybe it's much safer than the capital. Because I'm here after all.
I didn't do much today. I'm still resting.
.....
My body is fine, but I used portal too much during the mission, so I need to rest or my magic will go wild and difficult to control. Just like how Angela and Kron were unable to use magic properly when they were exploring dungeon this morning.
So I will only use portal two more times today at least. Going to the circus, and then return back to Cassau.
Unless there's an emergency, I won't use portal any more than that.
I also checked the university again. I've never been here as student. And no one would know that I was actually a professor for air element. Except those who attended my class obviously.
Since Sara is busy, she can't teach class for the next few days. But I heard that Dean is in charge for air element class so it's still progressing.
Thanks to Sara, she could put practice into words and theories so other people can learn it themselves. That's why Dean can teach air element class. And I just saw him leaving air element class. Seems like today's lesson is over.
Some students from air element class then grabbed their guns, given to them by Sara after they finished a certain exam, and practice shooting outside.
They can also borrow the university-owned guns for air mages to practice by themselves. But the quality is worse than a gun given by Sara. Which she got from Marie.

Air element is becoming more and more popular. Even more since the professor teaching was participating in the tournament before. So air mages from all over the country, and even from another kingdom, came here just so they can learn how to shoot.
Some of the students here even became part of the shooting squad during the mission in Consenza before. They have became so good at shooting. Still not as good as me though.
I walk to the shooting practice area, which was created after air element became popular after I left. There, I see the air element students shoot a moving target.
The practice is using a mechanism that will throw something far and fast, and then the shooter can try to shoot them down. The thing that became the target is created from clay, so it's fine if they got destroyed since the material is easy to find. Or they can just ask any earth mage to create more. There's even a student who created his own targets and bullets using earth magic.
"This is nice seeing how air element became so popular," I said to myself.
"It's all thanks to me! If not for me, no one would expect that air mage can do things like this," Victoria said.
Yeah. It's thanks to her that air mage is as developed as it is today. Not just about shooting, but also changing the properties in the air.
I heard that Sara teaches shooting with guns first before she teaches the students to change the property in the air.
I'm interested to see the students inhaling sleeping gases during class and went to sleep. Must be the most peaceful class ever.
As I watched the air mages practicing shooting, one male student approached me.
"Hey, you! I haven't seen you in class before. You always skip class, huh? Are you jealous that I got my own personal gun instead of using the school-owned gun?"
...What the hell?
It's been a while that I interacted with other people outside of mission. And this is the first thing someone said to me?
I always forgot that standard bullies love to pick on me. they would pick on me thinking that I'm an easy target because I move alone, or they would pick on me because I'm always with several beautiful girls.
I bet he's the type to flirt with Kayla or other girls if he sees any of them. And he woulld get kicked in the nut like any other men who tried to approach them.
It's been so long since I last seen Kayla kicked someone in the nut. I guess because of the tournament, she has became so popular and no one ever thinks that she's an easy target anymore.
Maybe I should gain some popularity so no one can mess with me. But when I know that the other side is much weaker than me, it's funny to see it.
"What? You can't talk back because of a simple provocation? How weak! Ahahaha!"
I've seen him before trying to shoot. He might have his own gun, but his shooting accuracy is worse than most who practiced here. Even some who used the school-owned gun were much better.
Oh, one of the students I used to teach recognized me. She was also in the shooting squad back in Consenza. Will she try to stop him?
"Professor Sara told me that if I see Professor Roy getting picked on to just watch because he can take care of it himself. And she said that he should be able to hear me so I'm here talking to myself," she said.

...Sara, what the hell were you teaching them? But she's right though.
I guess I'll take care of it then.
Behind my back, I transformed Victoria into a gun and grabbed the bullets provided by the school to use for practice. It's time to show the bully that I'm not someone he can look down upon.
"What is that gun! So small! You think you can shoot anything with it! Maybe you can ask me for a better gun. I'm close with Professor Sara. I can ask her for one," he said.
I ignored him and walked toward the tool that throws the clay targets. I activated it and set it to throw the clay as fast as possible and set it so it will shoot rapidly.
The bully laughed at me thinking that I'm just showing off. Well, I am indeed trying to show off.
Then it started. The machine shoots clay targets rapidly.
But I'm faster. I shoot the clay target one by one. And even when I'm reloading the bullet, I can still shoot all the clay targets perfectly. Without missing anything.
I actually still train my shooting accuracy. At least I need to be at Sara's level. And I think I have reached her level in accuracy.
Combined with my physical abilities, I'm sure that I'm the best shooter in the world. Though there are too little shooter since it's just recently became popular.
Everyone was shocked at what I can do. Even my former students. And Dean even watched me from the window of a nearby building.
I acted like I returned my gun to the holster, then I walked to the bully who is too shocked and thinks that he must have provoked someone he shouldn't.
Usually, I would like to bully him back. But he has a gun. Which means that Sara trusted him enough for him to have his own gun. And he could be our ally in fighting the cult. So I must act like a professor here.
"I don't think my student, Sara, is close enough to you. But I appreciate your offer even though I don't need one," I said.
The bully is too embarrassed after knowing that I actually Sara's teacher. The others even looked at me with expectation.
I guess I know what I do for today. I'll teach them to use a gun. Even though I promised myself to not use magic other than portal later.
It's fine since I will just teach them and not using magic anymore. Even if I do use magic, it won't be much since it's just compressing air.
"Your body is not strong enough to handle the recoil. That's why your accuracy is terrible. I know that you compressed the air in your gun more to have more powerful shoot. But putting too much on power will sacrifice your accuracy. Now, try to not compress too much air. Just enough for your body to handle it. And during your free time, do some push ups or other exercise to improve your strength. That way your body can endure bigger recoil and you can shoot stronger bullet."
Instead of bullying him back, I gave him an advise. It's good that he's listening well.
"And for everyone else! Today is my free time after a while! So if you have anything to ask about air magic, you can ask me!"
How is it? I'm being a nice professor, right?
Doing this is not bad. They will be stronger and more useful in battle.
I answered all the students' question they are satisfied. It feels good to have students who sincerely want to learn.
740 Waiting for Sonia
I taught the air element student for a while. And then Dean invited me to visit the hospital. There's no urgent surgery that I need to do, or any other knowledge I can spread at the moment. I have spread the knowledge to all the doctors there.
They only need to watch me perform surgery for some rare disease. But fortunately, there's no one here has been recorded to be diagnosed with those rare disease.
At least I have taught them how to perform the surgery if there's anyone diagnosed with those disease. But if they could watch me perform surgery, the doctors will be more confident if they need to do it themselves in the future.
Sophie was there at the hospital. She's popular among the patients, nurses, and other doctors.
Fortunately among the male doctors and nurses, none of them dare to flirt with her knowing that she's mine.
Well, even those who dare, once they got electrocuted by her lightning magic, they won't dare to do it again.
It's good to see someone has changed her life into a better one. It's all thanks to me! Praise me!
Well, it's also thanks to Sophie herself. She tried to make an effort. She is smart and is good with her hands. So once she had the opportunity to be a doctor, she's doing it so well.
The only reason I'm still a better surgeon than her is because I'm an Aura Master. If I'm not an Aura user or Aura Master, and I'm just like in my previous life with shitty physical ability, I can only perform surgery slowly.
.....
Well, it's also thanks to Divine Vision. Maybe one of the reason I desired such ability was because I want to see clearly what's my patients' disease with just one look.
I chatted with Sophie, Dean, and other doctors for a bit before I opened a portal to Thomas' location. To see how the circus is doing.
...In just twenty four hours, I do several jobs. It's funny.
I was a fighter until a bit past midnight. Then in the morning, I was a businessman. Later, I was an educator. Then I'm a doctor. Soon, I will be a clown.
I can't believe that I'm this busy. The me from my past life would look at me now and asks, "What the hell am I doing?!"
Well, in reality, since this is what I choose to do, I don't feel busy at all. Rather, other than fighting, I feel like my other jobs are for me to spend my spare time.
I opened a portal and see the shocked face of Thomas.
"Roy, you're back! How's the mission?" he asked.
"At least it's going good so far. You're camping?" I asked.
"Yes. We had just left the previous city yesterday. Our performance is going great so far even without you helping," he said.
I guess I won't be a clown tonight. But it's fine. For a circus, it's more like we travel more than perform.
As for the next destination, we should get there in a few days. But I don't know if I can help the circus or not.
I chatted with everyone there. About their shows during the time I left. And the agents/performers also asked me how I did and how the others are doing in our mission.
We exchanged information until it's late. They're in the middle of a journey and need some rest.
I would offer them to stay if I'm fully recovered. Sadly, I still need some rest myself. So I bid my farewell and return back to Cassau.
I had dinner with everyone. They are still tired so they return to their room soon after.
It's a great uneventful day. I like it.
The next day, still no report from Sonia.
In the morning before breakfast, I left to the forest to check my physical condition.
With Divine Vision, I know that I'm perfectly healthy. But I still need to move my own body to check if I have completely recovered or not.
When I looked at everyone while they're still sleeping, their body has slowly recovered. Not as fast as my body, but still good. Of course they need to do light training to check their own condition first.
I jog in the forest, had a fistfight with a bear, racing with a wolf, and I can tell that I'm perfectly recovered. My magic is fine as well. I can do the next mission right away.
I feel like my body is growing stronger after yesterday's rest. Well, I was kind of busy, but it didn't take much of my energy. So I can say that it's a rest.
I can even lift heavy object easier than before I stayed in Monsters World. I can still grow stronger.
I thought that my strength has peaked. My physical strength without Aura.
But after exhausting myself and rested enough, I realized that I'm still not at the peak. I guess I will return to do regular practice from today. Unless I'm on a mission.
After breakfast, I move to Albert's office. If Sonia recognized where she's currently in, she should come here first.
I hope she's okay. Because if the Evil God is somehow hiding there, she might not come out unscathed. Though I wonder if ghost can bleed or not?
"Roy, you're here. I've heard the report from the others. Good job," he said.

This is our first meeting after that night so he can only say that to me now.
"No problem. More importantly, have you heard anything from Sonia?" I asked.
"Not yet. But have you returned back to Monsters World yesterday," Albert asked me back.
"No. But I can feel that Shelia was in a fight. I guess the cult entered the portal yesterday, but they lost when they're up against the werewolves. Am I right?"
"That's right. One of the summoner we have is connected with the destroyed base in the monsters world. The agent you brought to watch over that place was bringing a small monster for the summoner to open a portal to so he can be our informant.
"Last night, a portal opened and from it, several master level mages appear. But the werewolves are much stronger than a few days ago so they can defeat them. Unfortunately, some managed to retreat back to the portal. But one of the werewolves who got close to the portal could smell the scent of a vampire from the night before. Which meant that they opened a portal from the same location," Albert explained.
That mean the cult probably only have one location as the supply provider. If we can locate that place, we can get closer to the Evil God.
"Once Sonia located that place, gather everyone so we can discuss about our next move. And it will be great if we got a lot of information from the previous battles," Albert said.
There are several locations that we're currently investigating. Including the lawless country.
Even that cat-man was ordered to be the Archbishop by another Archbishop. This time, the one ordered him was a masked Archbishop. It's likely to be the Archbishop that Veronica and Celestine recognized. I haven't told them about it yet.
There are too many information entering my brain. I have given my report to one of the agents about the cat-man. He should have informed Albert about it.
I told him to deliver the report because if it's up to me, I might have forgotten it by the next day. And I indeed forget about many things except for the important parts. But those forgotten part might be the most important part. So I need to have someone to remember it.
Well, at least Victoria doesn't have as bad memory as I do. But she doesn't always stay with me.
The one staying with me all the time is Airy. But she's not as observant as Victoria so we can't rely on her much. Though we can still ask something from her. Maybe we can gain something from her memory.
The one thing I asked Airy to do is to see if there are any other elemental spirits nearby. But she didn't react at all even though we have been to multiple places.
Later in the evening, while I'm still in Albert's palace playing with the twins, Sonia finally appears.
"I found it. I found where they deliver the supply from," she said.
"Great. Tell Albert about it first then you can tell the other kings. Including Yuria since she's already a member of our alliance. Also tell them to free their schedule tomorrow. We might have a long discussion ahead," I said.
It's finally here. We can raid another location.
After I finished playing with the twins, I returned home and informed everyone that we're having a meeting tomorrow. They are also ready.
Even if that place is not where the Evil God is hiding, that place should be something special for the cult.
A giant cult is hiding in this world. And the big countries have created alliance to destroy the cult. But they somehow still survive this long. Which mean that they have a way to provide for themselves without the help of any countries.
An independent country? Probably. We will know more from Sonia's report tomorrow.
