Chapter 409 - Finding A Place To Cultivate Air Magic
After seeing Graham's full strength, I told him to get the angels trained with the werewolves. After that, I'm thinking of cultivating my air magic.
…should I go to outer space?
""Let's go!"" Victoria and Spot spoke together.
"Do we really need to? I don't know much about outer space as Victoria, but won't it be scary over there? I mean there are no air and no gravity over there! That's what you said, right?" I asked Victoria.
"Don't worry. Some humans from our world has gone to space. And as long as you keep maintaining your air magic around you at all time, there shouldn't be any problem. At least I hope that's the case," Victoria said with some doubts.
"Why did you have to say the last part!? Now I don't feel like going there anymore…"
"If it was in my original world, it's really impossible for human to survive out there alone without any preparation. But this is magic world. Or at least it's the Monsters World that is connected with the magic world. I wonder if we can connect my world to your world?" Victoria asked.
"I don't even want to try it. That seems scary. And how could we connect to that world? There's no monster over there, right? You think I can make contract with a human and make them my familiar? Anyway, tell me more about going to outer space. What do we need?"
"I don't think you really need it, but a spacesuit would be good. Although you can just cover your body with air, I think it's safer that way. As for that, I can just transform into a spacesuit. I guess we're ready then," Victoria said.
"No, we're not ready. Let's just cultivate normally on earth, which is way safer than out there," I said.
"But your magic is weak. And you need more training than other people even in air magic. Even Sara is already an intermediate level in air magic. She cultivates at a faster rate than you. If you don't hurry up, you won't reach advanced level before our raid to the lab," Victoria said.
Seems like she receives information from Sonia who enters this world from time to time.
Sara is already intermediate? When I first taught her until I left the university, she was still a beginner level. Her improvement is much faster than mine. Soon, she might be reaching advanced level.
I'm not jealous. After all, she's my student. In fact, I'm proud that my teaching helps her progress that fast.
But what about me? Do I really need to go to the outer space?
"…Victoria, tell me more about outer space," I asked again.
"Well, it's cold. No air, and there's radiation as well. I don't know how to explain radiation, but it's best to keep your air barrier up at all time. Since there's no air, there's no sound as well because the sound can't travel without air. Maybe keep using your Aura as well is a good idea," Victoria said.
"…why does it seem like there is more and more danger in going there? Anyway, why are you interested in going there as well, Spot?" this time, I asked Spot.

"Of course! I have never seen anything above the sky! As you already know, I'm a half Sky Serpent. We just love to fly," Spot said.
"Yeah, but the first time we met, you were under the sea, right?"
"I'm a half Sea Serpent as well!" Spot said.
That means he loves flying and swimming, right? What about on land?
"So, you want to come as well? If I ride on you, we can go faster. But I can't cover your body with Aura. Wait, maybe I can if I think of you as my extension. Just like weapons," I said to myself.
"That means we're ready! Let's go!" Spot shouted.
"No. Let's do some tests first. But before that, let's ask someone who has been in the sky the longest," I said.
If it's Andro, he might have some experience in flying higher. Though I doubt he can stay for long.
I used portal to go to where Andro is, and asked him about outer space.
"I have tried it twice. The first time, I was out of breath in just a few minutes. The second time, I tried holding my breath. I could stay for a few hours, before I need to take another breath. As for gravity, I don't think that's true because I remember that I still feel my weight at the time. Although the scenery changed. It was still bright at the time, but suddenly, it turned dark," Andro said after I asked him.
"There are multiple layers of atmosphere in the sky. You haven't passed everything to be in zero gravity area. That's why gravity was still effective. Maybe what Roy needs is just to go to that place instead of going to outer space," Victoria said.
I received important information now. Which mean I can still survive up there even without needing to go pass the atmosphere and to the outer space. Maybe the area Andro went to is somewhere my air magic can be cultivated faster.
Wait, that mean I can just go to the highest peak of this world, right? Does the highest peak reach that layer Victoria said?
Let's check on it later.
"There. Are you convinced to go up there?" Victoria asked.
"Maybe just the place where it turns dark. Beyond that, I need more testing," I said.
"Let's go there then! Don't forget to help me with my breathing!" Spot said. He is the one who is interested in going up there the most.
"At least just go until that layer. I'll cast a magic that allow you to breathe without having me maintained it at all time later. It should be enough for one hour at least," I said as I sat on top of Spot's back. He's not in his original big form, and just the smaller version. But still enough for me to ride on his back.
Spot flew to the sky with an obvious joyous expression that telling me about how much he wants to go higher.
Like Andro said, it was still bright when we ascend to the sky. Wait, that sounds like we were dying.
Anyway, it was still the same bright scenery as we were flying to the sky. But as we reached a certain height, the sky above us turned dark, and I can see stars. And because of my air element, I can feel that the air here is thinner. This must be the place that Andro went to in the past.
"Oh! The view is amazing! It's dark up there, but below is so bright! It's blue and green! And there's a bit of brown down there!" Spot said.

"The blue one must be the sea. The green is the land. And that bit of brown is—"
"That's our friend Andro. From up here, he seems small," I said before Victoria finishes her sentences.
As Spot said, the view from here is beautiful. Now, I really wish I could go further even though I was scared shitless just before. Though I will test it later if I could survive or not. But for now, let's enjoy the view.
"…wait, we're not here to enjoy the view! I'll try cultivating now and if my progress rate is much faster than usual, I will be cultivating here," I said.
"What about going further? Aren't you curious?" Victoria asked.
"I am curious. But I need to focus on getting stronger and defeating the cult. Spot, once one hour has passed, go down. We'll go up again some other time," I said.
"…hey, Roy. Once you're done today, bring me back to human world. I want to see if the highest peak of the world can reach this place. I have never been to the top of the highest mountain before," Spot said.
"You like it that much being here, huh?"
"Yeah. But in our world, if we tell Sara or other air mages about such place if it exists, I can go there anytime with them around. I don't have to be with you at all time," Spot said.
"…are we breaking up?"
"What's that supposed to mean? Anyway, I just love the view here and would like to go here anytime I want. Even without your help. That's why I want to find such place," Spot said.
"But I will need to test it first. If the progress rate is not different than cultivating down there, I don't think there's a need to go looking for the highest peak," I replied.
"Then I hope your progress rate will increase."
I hope that's the case as well.
Now, with Spot just flying at the same height without ascending or descending, I started cultivating on top of his head. From now on, I won't be able to use air magic to help Spot breathing. That's why I told him to go down after one hour.
One hour later, I opened my eyes as Spot is descending to the ground.
"So, how is it?" Spot asked.
"…I have made more progress than I did down there."
"That's great! Now, bring me back to humans world!"
I guess we really end up separated from now on.
Well, at least I have made a new friend. A Kaiser Dragon. I'll ask him to go up so I can cultivate next time.
With the wind mage on his back, and me on his head, Alejandro is the perfect friend for cultivating our magic. At least only the wind and air mages. And since it's dark above, maybe light mages as well.
In any case, this is a great discovery.. I will tell Sara later about it.
Chapter 410 - Going To Space
Now what? We just found out that cultivating air magic up high where the air is thin is helpful to increase the rate of cultivation. If we go higher, there's a chance that the improvement rate will increase even further. But do I need to risk my live by going there?
I'm interested, but frightened at the same time. I need to test it to see if it's safe or not.
…let's grab some monsters to experiment on!
I'd like to get a monster that I can tell their expression to bring with me. Let's find a monster that is very similar to human. And I know one.
It's the monkey from the forest where the Pear-y Fruit grows. Though thanks to the elves, we can grow our own Pear-y Fruits so we don't need to go there anymore.
This time, I'm no longer afraid of being surrounded by the monkeys. I grabbed two of them and put them into Blobbycage.
Next, I asked Andro to fly higher.
"You want me to do what?" Andro asked.
"Your body is gigantic. Although your limbs and neck, compared to your body size are much shorter, they are still big. I want just the top of your head to go beyond the sky, while the rest of your body is still under the layer so you can still breath. I want to conduct an experiment to see if I could go higher with these monkeys," I explained.
"I see. As long as I can breathe, it should be fine. But I won't go any higher," Andro said.
Because Spot is away in humans' world, I need to ask someone else who can help me in the sky. And my choice is Alejandro. Although I can run on air, I want to do the experiment while standing still. If I keep running around, I won't know where I am later.
After passing through the layer where the sky is below me, I grabbed the monkey I put to sleep before, and put it into a different Blobbycage.
After the monkey woke up angrily, I attached the cage with a huge and long Blobbypole. It's so that I can raise the cage with the monkey inside as high as my magic can reach it.
It's a test to see how high can a living being survive up there. Of course, I will make sure the monkey able to breathe. Though since it was panicking too much, I used calming gas on it.
As for the other monkey, it will be used as a spare in case the first one die. I think two is enough.
Now, the first one. While I am still standing on top of Andro's head, I raised the prisoned monkey higher. And I waited one minute before I go even higher.
But how do I get higher when Andro is staying at the same height? By making Blobbies and transform them into stairsteps. It's also a test to see how much steps Victoria can make with her clones.
Hmm… I think we can go even higher. How high are we in the sky? I don't know. But I can still go higher.
I have reached higher and higher as the Blobbysteps have reached five hundred steps. But Victoria said that she can't go any further. She can only make more Blobbysteps if she recalls all the Blobbies I spread to the others.
Though I told them to make the steps smaller. Just enough for my toe to step. That way, we can reach even higher. Why didn't she think of that?
Finally, at the 2000 steps from Andro's head, I can see the monkey above me in the cage is floating. There's no more gravity up there, but I can still feel it. And the pole I'm holding is really light right now.
If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game
"Whoa, he's floating. That's outer space, I guess." I said.
"Prepare yourself. The monkey is not being protected by Aura, right? We don't know what will happen to him," Victoria said.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes…
One hour passed, and there's nothing happening with the monkey.
"…I guess it's fine up there. Though while waiting, I cultivated for a bit and the progress is much faster than around Andro's head," I said.
"Do you want to go up there?" Victoria asked.
"I'll check it with the other monkey as well. With one being higher than the other, I can tell up to where it's safe to stay," I said as I throw the other cage higher. Since I don't need to use a pole, I just make a string with Blobbies and reel it back when it goes too far. Just like fishing.
When the monkey I threw goes a bit higher than the previous one, it dies soon after.
"Hmm… let's try to cover the first monkey with my Aura, and get it as high as that one," I said.
I tried it, and the monkey survive even in the same height where the second monkey died. I guess this is where I will cultivate. I'll try to not go any higher.
Let's attach another fishing line from Andro to me so I won't get stranded in space later. I hope within a few weeks, I can reach advanced level in air element.
After that, it will be raiding the lab.
"Let's cultivate here. After attaching myself to Andro first, though," I said.
"But won't you get too far? Andro keeps moving, you know?"
"I can use portal to travel, so it's easy… wait, what if I leave a Blobby here and use a portal to outer space? It can be used as a weapon as well. Maybe I will add another one at the deepest part of the sea as well. Why didn't I think of it before?"
"What's important is that we find a place where you can cultivate now. When you reach advanced level, what will you do?" Victoria asked.
"At that time, my mana should be increased as well so I can open more portals. And I want to be able to use all kind of gas with various effects. If you have other type of gas that I would like, I can try it as well," I said.
"Hmm… there's a type of fuel that makes fire invisible. But that's liquid and not a type of gas. Though if you can use it, that would be amazing if you paired up with a fire mage like Julia," Victoria said.
An invisible fire, huh? But that's liquid and not gas. I guess that's impossible for me at the moment. In the future? Who knows?
"Then I'll just focus on using other type of gases from the mysterious forest that I haven't learned yet. Let's go to the space now. Victoria, cover me with the slime. Make sure that there's no gap at all," I said.
"Do you need me to do that? You have seen that the monkeys don't even need protective gear to survive," Victoria asked.
"Safety first."
"…says the guy who went into the deep sea right after learning how to swim," Victoria sighed.
That's right. I was stupid back then, but now I'm still stupid. Better kind of stupid anyway.
Wait, is there other kinds of stupid?

As I tried my first time going into a zero gravity, I take a deep breath. Although I know it's safe since I'm fully covered with the Black Slime, and using air magic as well as my Aura, this is a totally unknown area to humans. At least humans of my world and not Victoria's.
I feel my body lighter, and as my whole body entered zero gravity, I can no longer tell which way is up and which way is down. Other than up is above my head, and down is under my feet. Though I can see a brown spot surrounded by blue color above my head. That's supposed to be our friend, Andro. I guess that way is down then.
"This is amazing! Weird, but amazing!" I shouted. Though the only one who can hear me is Victoria as out there, there's no air. Or maybe it's too thin. But it's not enough for my voice to travel. That's why although I saw the monkey was suffering, I didn't hear any sound at all.
"Maybe one day we can go to the moon. Though the moon in Monsters World is smaller than the moon in humans' world… wait, what!?"
All of a sudden, Victoria is shouting. And because I'm the only one here, with how close she is, my ears are ringing.
"Don't shout like that! What's wrong anyway?" I asked.
"…after entering zero gravity, I can tell you something."
"What is it?"
"I can feel my clones from the moon. And many of them at once," Victoria said.
"…what? Have you been to the moon in the past?" I asked.
"No. That is not a moon. That is your world, Roy. Humans world," Victoria said.
Wait, my world? But we went there via portal. So, this place is not actually a different world, but we are actually on the moon of humans' world!? And for the Monsters World, we are on its moon!?
"…so, what's your point?" I asked.
"Why are you not surprised at all!? We know something that no one have ever known!" Victoria shouted.
"What's that got to do with us anyway? Doesn't that just make it possible for humans to go to Monsters World without using portals… wait!"
"Now you know. Which mean there's a possibility that the cult can go here anytime they want without using portal. If they have air mage and can fly, that should be enough to travel," Victoria explained.
So, they don't need summoners to travel between worlds? Does their god know about this? That's possible.
Hmm…
Hmmmmmm…
"Sigh… I can't think of anything to do. I'll just tell this to Albert and the kings, and let them think of what to do with this information," I said.
"…I guess you're right. Let the smarter ones thinks," Victoria said.
"Yeah. I'll just cultivate here for an hour, and then meet Albert after that," I said.
If we are the only ones who know about this information, there's no need to be panic. Unless there's an extraordinary monster that can travel between two worlds easily.
Why does it feel like my peaceful life that I dreamt of after destroying the cult is getting further and further?
Nah, this won't be a problem. Even if it does, my beef is only with the cult.. Let Albert and the other leaders think.
Chapter 411 - To The Peak Of The World
After cultivating for a bit in the space, I directly opened a portal to humans' world. Of course, as Victoria told me, I choose a place away from humans' settlements. It's because of the vacuum. If I opened a portal somewhere close to a city or a village, the whole village can be sucked in.
How did I enter the portal even though the power of the vacuum is quite strong? My leg is stronger than the suction force. That's all there is to it.
"…so, this is the aftermath of being sucked in into the space, huh? Horrifying," I commented after seeing so many trees, rocks, and monsters got sucked in into the space.
"But it's good as another method to fight, right? I know that you will choose to use it against the cult one day," Victoria said.
She's right. If it's like this, let's say that I opened a portal to space in the lab we're going to raid. Everything and everyone will be sucked in. Though I doubt we want that. We also need to find anything that can be used against them.
So, I guess I will be the only one raiding the lab first. And then, in case fighting is unavoidable, I would either kill everyone by opening a portal, or calling for help.
…let's not use the portal to space as much as possible. What Victoria told me about radiation, I don't know if it will affect the surrounding or not after I opened the portal. Maybe this place is already affected when I transported here. Though I still use my Aura to protect myself. And also Victoria as my spacesuit.
This place is somewhere I found before meeting the ostriches. Somewhere I doubt anyone would go to. That's why even if this place is filled with radiation, it should be fine since no one would come here.
Though I'm still confused as to what radiation is. I just heard from Victoria that it's something extremely dangerous. Even though how she told me doesn't make it sound dangerous. If I have six arms, won't I be much stronger and able to use all kind of weapons at once?
But if she says it's dangerous, then I won't risk my life for it.
"You're going to tell Albert about it?" Victoria asked.
"With our current technology, it is still impossible for anyone to fly to the sky and go to the moon. But if they have something special like air magic, powerful flying monster, or maybe some sort of ancient artifacts, it is still doable. I'll just inform Albert about it and let him do the thinking. But I guess it means that even if we made a safe place in Monsters World, it is not really safe," I explained.
After chatting for a bit, I opened a portal a bit away from where I was so the radiation won't follow. I hope I was right though.
Good thing it's night and we can see the moon. So, I told Albert everything about the moon while pointing at it.
"…so, the moon is actually a planet. And that planet is the Monsters World?" Albert asked for confirmation.
"That's right! Or at least that's what Victoria told me. Victoria, what about it?" I asked Victoria.
As we are talking with Albert, Marie who is interested is listening to us. seems like she wants to build a rocket that Victoria explained.

"Well, it's my clones, or what Roy called the Blobbies. In here, I can feel where every Blobbies are placed. But as for those in Monsters World, I can't sense it. But as long as I know where I placed them, Roy can open a portal to that Blobby even when it's difficult to sense. And when I was in Monsters World, I can't sense the Blobbies in this world. But when we enter the space, I can sense the Blobbies in both worlds. There are some in the planet we were before taking off, the Monsters World, and some are in the moon of that world. Which is here. So, that moon over there is Monsters World," Victoria explained.
"Well, I don't know if that information is important at the moment or not, so I just tell you everything and as usual, let you do the thinking while I'm trying to get stronger," I said.
"…why do I always have the most difficult part?" Albert sighed.
"How about we swap? I'll do the thinking, and you will risk your life?"
"No thanks. I like being in this position," Albert replied.
"Then don't complain. As usual, just think of a way to destroy the cult," I said.
I have informed Albert about the moon. Now, about cultivating place. I'll tell Sara about it. If Spot finds a place in this world, that can reach that layer we previously entered before going to space, she can go there with Spot. Or maybe ask a wind mage to bring her there.
Let's meet Spot first.
I opened a portal to the Blobby that Spot carries. And he is currently flying in the sky, facing a tall mountain in front of him.
"Hey, Spot. Is that the place?" I instantly asked him after jumped on his back.
"Yes. I went there once with my Master in the past. But we are far too weak against the monsters there. Though, I don't know about it now. I want to test my strength first," Spot said.
"Then I'll stay here and watch. Anyway, where are we?"
"Far south of the continent. It's the ocean below us," Spot said.
If it that far, it's impossible to get Sara here alone. Though Spot can bring her with him if he wants to go there.
"And how did you end up there in the past with your master? I thought you were too weak back then," I asked.
"He got lost in the ocean when we were travelling by ship. Before we go higher to the peak, he was tired and rode a dolphin all the way back to the continent. I was still small and unable to carry him on my back," Spot said.
Riding a dolphin? That sounds interesting.
But for Spot to fly for quite some time, it must be really far.
"We're here. Let's go to the peak right away. I'll ask you for helping me breathe, Roy," Spot said.
"Leave it to me."
This place has strong monsters? I bet some of the girls would like to be here. Let's place a Blobby so I can come here anytime I want.

Hmm… Spot said that this place has many powerful monsters. But I guess a thousand years is more than enough for a weak serpent, to be much stronger than anything here. Though this place is still good for everyone to go and train.
There aren't many that can obstruct Spot's journey to the peak. And when there are some who are strong enough, they are beaten to death by Spot in a few minutes. I guess they are strong indeed to last for that long.
But still, this mountain area is huge. Normal people would have difficulty breathing at this height, but it's still not the peak yet.
"Whoa, the peak of this mountain is much taller than the highest peak in my world," Victoria said.
"And how high was that?" I asked.
"Over 8 km from sea surface," she replied.
"But we have passed that height when we were going to space," I said.
"I know. Magic is amazing."
It is. Something that her world can do after so long, with so many research, experiments, and failures, but we can finish it in one day.
And being here, makes me think that the world is much bigger than just the continent. I just hope that there's no cult outside the continent that will cause ruckus to my home.
That way, after destroying the cult in our continent, I won't have to face other problem again. Like the cult trying to come here from another continent.
But humans are humans. We are greedy.
If someone greedy from outside the continent knows about our continent, that person would most likely come and try to conquer us. If so, war will still happen whether or not the cult is destroyed.
But at least it should be fine. After all, Javier said that the cult destroyed Monsters World after destroying humans' world. Which mean they are strong enough to stop the conqueror wannabe. If there are any.
And that means, if we could destroy the cult, there won't be anyone strong enough to kill us. Which means we are still safe because of our strength.
…shit, I think too much. I thought I would let Albert do the thinking, but here I am thinking. It's a pain, so I won't think much about it anymore. Let's just enjoy the view as blood is flying from the monsters Spot defeated and devoured.
"Hmm? Spot, we're here. Beyond this, is the same as we experienced in Monsters World. The day will change into night. I doubt there will be any more monsters here, but be careful," I said.
"Haha! We're finally here! Let's go to the peak and watch the scenery before going back down!" Spot said excitedly.
But it's a good time to rest as well. I'll take that offer.
We reached the peak shortly after, and rested there while watching the starry sky above, and the blue ocean below.
We watched the scenery for a while longer, and use portal to transport back to Cassau.. I'll tell Sara about that place so she can go with Spot whenever she wants.
Chapter 412 - Cultivation Spot For Earth Mages Is Found
Since now the air mages have a good place to cultivate, I told Sara about it through Sonia. Since she is most likely to be a member of this country for the tournament, it's best to tell her first about it. As for the class, I bet Dean can teach them students whenever he's free.
After telling Sara that she can go to where she should cultivate, I return back to Monsters World. Since I'm the only one who can cultivate in space, I can't bring Sara with me.
I returned to Andro's head. Not the top of the head, but right in front of his face.
I waste time chatting with him before I go cultivate my air element. I don't know how long I will stay in space, but it might be a long time. So, I chatted while snacking to fill my stomach.
Since I said that I'm going to cultivate, Spot won't come with me. He is with Sara so he can help her go to where she should cultivate.
He told me that whenever he's not busy, which is during the whole time I am cultivating, he will accompany Sara at all time so he doesn't need to bring her to the mountain. He can just fly high and let Sara cultivate on his back, while he's enjoying the view. At least until the raid to the cult's lab.
Well, as long as both sides agreed, I don't mind it. I also told Sara that any air mages that she can really trust, she can bring them with her to cultivate. She's also an agent, so she can investigate if the students in her class can be trusted or not. Though I didn't allow her to tell my secret about being an Aura user.
Anyway, let's just cultivate and improve myself.
After finished chatting with Andro, I connected a line from Blobbies and connected it to my own body, before covering myself with Victoria as my spacesuit. And then, I jumped to the sky. Higher and higher until I feel no weight in my body. The area without gravity.
"Good luck! I'll enjoy the view while you're busy," Victoria said.
And if I'm not busy, I will enjoy the view as well.
And so, I started cultivating until hopefully, someone increased their level before me and needed my protection. I'll have Victoria wakes me up in case that happen.
Thankfully, two months after cultivating with a break there and then, I reached advanced level in my air element. Making me have two advanced elements.
But none of the other members are breaking through to the next level. Or at least those who have broke through, didn't need my help. I hope that's the case.
And since no one is calling me, it's time to test my air elements. This time, I won't experiment a new gas on the ostriches anymore. But the monkeys from the Pear-y Fruits forest.
I have grown fond of those monkeys after killing them during experiment of going to space.
Well, one of them died in space, and the other one, I dropped it back to the earth. That one should be dead.
Let's practice new gases until I can use everything perfectly. Hopefully, those gases will be effective now at least to expert level mages. But for master level, just a slight effect might be useful.
And so, I spend my days training my air magic. Of course, I taught those gases to Sara, who has reached advanced level before I did even though the place I cultivated at is much better. That's talent, I guess.

But at least there are two people who can use various types of gas among us. And she will be a great asset, not just for the tournament. But for the war as well.
I hope the others are doing fine. At least I haven't heard of any bad news from them.
If they miss me, they will contact me. But I guess none of them miss me. I feel so lonely…
...….
Meanwhile, deep under the ground, Celestine is talking with Angela, who is looking for a place to cultivate her earth element.
The two met up coincidentally, and decided to go together into a dungeon that they found, hoping that they can improve their earth element.
Angela has found the other three location for three of her elements, and those three elements were already close to breaking through. And she is looking to get all four of them to reach the next level at the same time, which is unprecedented. No one has managed to do it.
For wind element, it was on Andro's back. The fire element, it was on a volcano. The ice element, she found it all the way to the north where it's the coldest. And now, she is looking for a place good for cultivating her earth elements, and met Celestine by chance.
The two then coordinated together to find a good place, and reached this unknown underground dungeon.
"The first time I entered a dungeon, it was an underground dungeon as well near Cassau. Be careful of being caved in. Though our earth magic should be strong enough to handle it," Angela said.
"Some of the monsters here are much stronger than other places. There might be something even stronger than them inside. Don't let your guard down," Celestine said.
The two explored inside the dungeon together, and defeating all the monsters they found. When they find treasures, they would bring them to a safe place, until they finished capturing the dungeon. They will ask Roy to get those treasures appraised by Jeremy.
Now that many of the members are in Monsters World, entering dungeons left and right, the amount of treasures that Roy bring to Jeremy was too much. Luckily most of them are useful to increase the strength of everyone. And even if none of the members want it, it can be given to someone the kings trusted to help fight against the cult.
Unsurprisingly, the cult is standing by and not doing anything big during this period before the tournament. Albert and the others are right that they are planning on making the big move around the time of the tournament.
Angela and Celestine went deeper under the ground, until it's impossible for light to reach. It was extremely dark, and the only source of light is the torch that Angela lighted with her fire magic.
Although the two of them are capable earth mages who can sense the movement of the surrounding area from the vibration of the ground, losing one sense in a dangerous location is not something anyone wants. Only Roy is capable of exploring the dungeons without a care because of his Divine Vision.
"You feel anything?" Celestine asked Angela.
"No,"
"Be careful. We don't know what kind of monster is this deep underground," Celestine said.
As they went in deeper, Celestine noticed something strange.
"Angela, from here on, the shape of the dungeon is not natural. It's as if a monster is digging deeper to make the dungeon goes further down," Celestine said.
"You mean we'll fight something like a mole?" Angela asked.
"A mole, huh? You might be right. be careful and enhance your sense so you can sense right under you," Celestine said.
As they went in further, they encounter more monsters, but none of them should be able to dig this deep. They seem to just found the hole, and went in out of curiosity. And they encountered Angela and Celestine to just die in an instant.
"If Kayla is here as well, we could be a trio of amazing earth mages!" Angela said. To which, Celestine just smiled.
Just like the two of them, Kayla is also looking for a good place to cultivate. And if either side finds one, they will contact the other right away.
As they finally reached the deepest area, they see a small pond of water.
"A pond? I guess it's natural if monsters need to survive this far down," Celestine said.
"Is the mole inside the pond?" Angela asked.
Just as she asked that, the two girls feel vibration coming from the ground. Not an earthquake, but a huge monster surfacing from the pond.
The monster is not a mole. Rather, it was a frog. A frog with huge claws on its hands, which makes it possible for it to dig this much.
The frog comes out of the water, and prepared to fight the two.
"Hmm… I think this might be the strongest monster we encounter. Probably multiple times stronger than those we encountered before," Celestine said.
"That's good. At least it will be an interesting fight," Angela said with full of confidence that she could defeat the frog.
"Since there are two of us, how about we decide only one of us will fight it, while the other tries to cultivate in this place? We haven't tried to cultivate because we are exploring this dungeon, but now we reached the deepest part, there shouldn't be many monsters coming," Celestine suggested.
"Sure. How do we decide it?" Angela asked.
"Well… let's keep our distance first. The first one who is targeted by the frog will fight, and the other will cultivate. But we still need to be careful, so just five minutes of cultivation should be more than enough to see if this place is a good place or not," Celestine said.
"Okay."
The two then spread to right and left, and wait until the frog attacked one of them.
The frog is being wary to the two, and just waited.
Because there's one big weakness that the frog has, but the two don't know yet.
The frog can't see in the dark. That's why the path that the frog dug is random and moving left and right as if the one who did it was drunk.
And so, the three just stay at standstill, until Angela can't take it anymore and killed the frog in one shot when it's not ready.
"…I guess we should try to cultivate together then," Celestine said.
"Yeah… but let's dispose of the frog first. I don't want to cultivate in an area next to a corpse of a frog," Angela said.
And that's how the two find a good area to cultivate their earth element.
And while Angela is already cultivating, Celestine contacted Roy by breaking a Blobby to tell Kayla about this place.. He immediately returns to the dungeon with Kayla so she can cultivate with them.
Chapter 413 - Preparing Angela To Breakthrough
The date has been set for the raid on the lab. Just a week before the tournament started. Though the tournament will start around next year. It has been delayed quite a lot.
Although I haven't went to the location of the lab yet, the kings have sent scouts to find the general location of the lab from the compass. And it was located in the east side of Arturo.
Because of the distance from Arturo to Consenza, which is where the tournament will be held, it will take more than a month for anyone to travel from there to Consenza normally. Which is why I will be sent to the lab a week before the tournament. So, when something happened in the lab, no one who is going to the tournament will realize that the cult's lab has been attacked.
And since I can use portal, I can travel to any country I want without wasting too much time.
Also, Albert, Lynn, and old man Henry will only inform the fake king of Arturo about the tournament, six months before the tournament begins. Will it be fine, I wonder?
And about our progress, it seems to be going well. Angela and Celestine found a good place to cultivate, and told Kayla about it. And Kayla has reached expert level because of it. So fast.
Candy also has reached expert level in her lightning element. Though she hasn't found a good place to cultivate, she is still older than Kayla and the others, so it's natural that she became expert level. Right now, she's accompanying Jewel and Lina's two monsters and helping them exploring a dungeon. She said that she's trying to go for expert level in fire element as well before the day of the raid.
Wendy and Shirley both also have reached expert level after cultivating the whole time on Andro's back ever since the first time they were there. I never seen them stopped cultivating other than to rest and eat.
And the last one to reach expert level mage was… Fabio. And his element that reached expert level mage is fire element. I brought him to the volcano after telling him about the place which should be good for cultivating. And the doting mother Carmen, decided to wait for Fabio until he finished breaking through before she trains again.
Everyone is amazing. They can reach expert level so fast. Though the one that surprises me the most is the fact that Angela hasn't reached expert level yet.
She's going the hard way. She's trying to fuse all her elements and breakthrough all of them at once. Which means, unlike the others who has to breakthrough their elements one by one. She's improving them together. This is something that no one has ever succeeded before. But if it's her, I believe that she can do it.
As for me? Well… right now, I'm watching a group of monkeys trying to kill each other. I have completed all the gas types from the mysterious forest. And this murdering gas is so amazing. I can use this against the cult. They will kill each other then.
I can use the infuriating gas, but making them angry and fight doesn't necessarily mean they will kill each other. It seems like they are just trying to hurt each other. So, the gas that will make them kill each other is much better.
The other two I learned, the fear gas and the lust gas, were effective as well. though I don't want to use the lust gas as much as possible.
…unless it's my private time with my lovers.
This game will keep you awake all night long.Panzer.Quest strategy game
When I use the fear gas, the monkeys were running about. No one cares about other things but themselves. Even some monkeys who were carrying their babies, would leave their babies behind. Unfortunately, whatever they are afraid of doesn't seem to be the same. If only I can make it so that they would only run toward one way, it would be better.
But at least I finally managed to use all type of gas from mysterious forest. Now… let's fight some monsters to improve my fighting skill and my Aura as well.
"Roy, Angela is calling," Victoria said all of a sudden.
When she said that, it means that Angela has destroyed a Blobby that she carries with her. And that's the signal that mean I have to go her way as soon as possible.
"Let's defeat other monsters another time. Angela is far more important than monsters," I said.
I quickly opened a portal to where Angela is, and see that she's no longer cultivating inside the dungeon for her earth element. She's outside, along with Celestine and Kayla.
Although Kayla has reached expert level in her earth element, it seems that the dungeon is good for her light element as well. That's why she's staying to improve her light element.
She also asked for the angels' guidance for her light and healing elements. With her brain, she will be much stronger than the angels even though they have the same two elements. At least she is already far smarter than them.
Though the angels lately haven't been disappointing. They have improved albeit just a little. It's a good idea for them to live alongside the competitive werewolves.
"What is it, Angela?" I asked Angela who called me.
"It's time. I will breakthrough all four elements today," Angela said.
"I see… I'll get everyone to protect you. This is something unprecedented so it's best to get everyone's help. And don't do it today. You should relax first, and fill your belly with delicious food. You'll try doing it once you are totally ready," I said.
"Okay. Then, let's get back to Cassau. I missed Lina's cooking," Angela said excitedly.
After taking Angela, Celestine, and Kayla to Cassau, I used portals to travel to where the others are, and informed them about Angela before bringing them all to Cassau. Even Kron who loves to go exploring in Monsters World alone decides to come along.
I also told Albert and the other kings about it.
"Is it dangerous?" Albert asked.
"I don't know. But I believe in Angela," I said.
"…I wish her the best. Marie, would you like to witness Angela breaking through?" Albert asked his wife.
"No. I think it will be too difficult for me just to witness her breaking through. I don't know what kind of effect it will have to the surrounding," Marie said.

Hmm… she's right. This might be the most dangerous situation to breakthrough. I mean four elements breaking through at once? Fire, ice, earth, and wind elements?
Not just it will be dangerous for Angela, but the people trying to protect her as well. I'll look for a good place for her to breakthrough in Monsters World, and ask the monsters to protect her as well. Who knows what kind of monsters we will encounter?
I found a good place near the monsters' village and asked the werewolves and the angels for help as well. Well, I mean forcing the angels to help. Though thanks to Kayla's persuasion, it was easy. She is getting along with the angels really well. And no, she didn't ask her while wearing sexy outfit. She asked them nicely and they agree to help.
Of course I didn't ask for everyone to come. I only asked some so there will still be enough monsters to protect the village.
We had a blast partying back in Cassau, together with the children as well. It's like a celebration even though Angela hasn't break through yet.
After one good night sleep, everyone is ready to go.
I used portals and let them enter first before me. Like before, Lina and Sophie choose to stay. They wish Angela good luck together with Penny and the children.
Also, it seems like time has gone pass so quickly. And Hannah will turn fifteen next year and will attend introductory school right before the tournament. Well, I have taught her everything I can teach for now. But once she awakens her magic, she will have a lot of powerful teachers to guide her.
As I enter the portal last, everyone is ready in their position. Celestine and Kayla build a dome with one door open for Angela to breakthrough in. Everyone told her good luck before leaving the dorm, until it's just me and her alone.
"Isn't it great? The first time you broke through, everyone is protecting you. And now, the number of friends we have has increased. Though that time, the enemies were humans. But now, the enemies will be monsters. And because of your strength, the monsters appearing might be much stronger than those we have fought before," I said.
"Not just the number increased. They are also much stronger than back then. Though I'm still worried if I can do this or not," Angela said.
"Then we'll stop here. I won't let you continue if you are not confident," I said.
"…you have that much trust in me, huh? Is that because I was the Elemental Master in your previous life?" Angela asked.
"When I met you first, that was indeed the reason I approached you. It has been so long since then, and I know that the one I can trust the most is you. My past life is what made me approach you, but the reason I'm staying with you is because I trust you. It's that simple," I said.
"You always love simple things. Fine, I'll do it. If you trust me that much, I feel like I can do everything," Angela said.
"Angela! Do your best!" The voice is coming out of my shoulder. It's Victoria.
"I will," Angela said. This time, full of confidence.
As I leave the dome, Kayla closed the door.
"Well, let's see what kind of monsters we'll be facing."
With Reizpear in my hand, I am ready to fight anything.
…as long as it's not as strong or even stronger than Andro.
Chapter 414 - First Wave
We are preparing for battle outside the dome where Angela is about to breakthrough. We have three shifts to protect her. It's a strategy I planned beforehand. This way, one shift can guard Angela. Another one can rest, while the last one will be on standby in case the first shift can't handle it.
Unsurprisingly, the werewolves don't want to be a part of the shift. They just want to fight at all time. Well, that's fine.
And the angels, because of their healing magic, they will be on standby duty at all time. Supporting those who are guarding Angela, and become the reinforcement if needed.
Well, the main reason is because they are not interested in working. And that's the only way I can force them to come and help us. At least they believe me when I said that the world will be destroyed if they didn't do anything.
And now we know that there's other way to get here without portal, although there shouldn't be any technology that is advanced enough for space travel, there's also a chance that the cult will attack this world first before humans' world. I hope that's not the case.
But if that is the case, that mean I have changed the future too much. Well, I don't care. As long as the cult is destroyed, I don't care even if some amazing people in the future were never born in this lifetime.
That will be a shame if those powerful people who can help us would never be born, but I can't hope that even if they are born, they will help us anyway. I just need to get the people around me to be stronger. And I think I'm doing a good job at it.
Well, back to protecting Angela.
As the leader of the angels, Graham will be the one to lead them to heal and support the others. I believe they won't have much to complain if their leader is the one giving the order.
Shelia is with the werewolves ready to fight at all time. I hope they won't push themselves too hard.
As for me, I will also be ready to fight at all time. I have the most stamina among all of us, so it will be fine even if I have to fight for days. But unlike the werewolves, I won't fight right away.
As for Spot, he is currently cleaning up the nearby monsters even before Angela started breaking through.
I can also call for Andro, but he's too big. But I already told him that Angela is breaking through, so if he feels the magic fluctuation, he can come over to help if he wants.
Kayla then built another dome for us to rest. As she is an expert level mage now, the durability of the dome should be good enough to endure damage for a while. I don't know if it can endure for a long time because we don't know how powerful, and how many monsters will come.
"Everyone! She has started breaking through!" I shouted to get everyone prepared.
With Elsie here as well, I don't need to use my Divine Vision at all time. I just need to wait until she reacted before activating mine.
Of course, Sunny is with her. The two is a pair now.
It's strong. The magic fluctuation coming from Angela is incomparably strong compared to those Kron and the other expert level mage during their time breaking through. The enemies this time will be powerful.
"It's hot here," Julia said.
This game will keep you awake all night long.Panzer.Quest strategy game
"No, it's cold. And slightly breezy," Shirley said.
"That's probably because of Angela. All four elements affecting the surrounding. Though I don't know about the earth," I said.
"It is slightly vibrating. Not enough for mages of other elements to feel," Kayla said.
"Just prepare yourself. If you can feel the change, the monsters should be able to. But… I told you that we should have three shifts, right? Why are you all preparing to fight?" I asked.
"Just let us fight. It's not like any of us are stupid enough to go all out the whole time," Kayla said.
Though after she said that, I see some people shyly looked away. I'm marking you all.
"Sigh… if you are tired, just ask for some healing from the angels. It should be able to recover your stamina a bit. We don't know how long Angela will stay in this condition," I said.
And so, we wait. I also gave some snacks for everyone here prepared by Lina so they won't feel hungry.
And the first monster to come is… Spot.
"Roy! The weak monsters are escaping! They are afraid of something!" Spot said.
"Really? Not coming here, but escaping? Do you see any powerful monster approaching them? Other than you, obviously," I asked.
"No. Or at least I can't see them. And I used camouflage so those weaklings won't be able to sense my presence. But I think something is coming," Spot said.
Something that Spot can't see and feel, but it can make weak monsters to escape. The answer is underground.
I used Divine Vision to see under the ground, but I didn't see anything yet.
"Roy, the earth is vibrating even more," Celestine said.
Just as she said that, right at the edge of my Divine Vision's range, I see an earthworm the size of Spot.
Both Elsie and I reacted at the same time.
"Earth mages! Underground! It's a giant earthworm the size of Spot!" I shouted.
"Ewwwww!" the girls said at the same time.
Oh, shit. The earth mages here are all women. Kayla, Celestine, and also Sara whom I brought as well were feeling disgusted. And even men would feel disgusted seeing a giant earthworm.
"Enough with the eww-ing! Everyone, don't let your guards down! Oh, wait. There are three giant earthworms," I said.
""Ewwww!""
This time, it's not just the earth mages. All the girls eww-ing at the same time. I'll allow it because I feel the same.

Back when I first entered this world, I also saw earthworms about their size. And the bigger one was eating the smaller earthworm. But this time, even though they are of different size, none of them are eating each other. I guess something here is much more appetizing than their own kind.
And then, I also saw a group of goblins approaching. But when they feel the presence of the earthworms, they retreated. At least it means we only need to fight the strong monsters and can just ignore the weak ones. Though it will still be annoying, at least it's not as annoying as fighting all of them.
"Master! The angels noticed many flying objects approaching! They are most likely monsters," Graham reported.
"Wind mages and werewolves who can run on air, go greet those flying monsters!" I gave another command.
First is something underground. Next is something flying. Maybe we should have let Angela breakthrough in the sky so we will only face flying monsters.
But that mean our power will be weakened because not all of us can fly.
At least it's good that we are not in the sea. After all, only one person here has reached expert level in water magic.
My job for now is just to give the order and be the commander. I'm also responsible for the supply. If they are hungry, or out of magic and needed mana potions, I will give them some.
At least it's good that my turn is not coming yet. Let's see how they handle the earthworm.
Since Sara's earth magic is still in advanced level, she will be the one digging a path for the other two to get closer to the earthworms, while the other two will be the one attacking the earthworms.
They are sensing the location of the earthworm from the vibration. And when they feel that the earthworms are getting closer, Kayla and Celestine pressed the earth from left and right of the approaching earthworm. Squashing it while the earthworm hasn't even seen the light yet.
Other than me and Elsie, no one can see the dead earthworm. It's disgusting.
There are still two more, and Kayla and Celestine used the same tactic like the first time. Leaving only one more earthworm. And this one is the biggest one.
When the two is about to use the same tactic again, the earthworm is changing direction and move upward to the surface. It must have noticed something is strange.
"Jewel! One earthworm is going your way!" I shouted. Although it was quite far from me to Jewel's location, I can make my voice louder by using air magic.
"I UNDERSTAND!!"
…and Jewel's shout is much louder than mine.
Just as the earthworm surfaced in the location I pointed at, Jewel already transformed into a lightning coated rhino, and charged through the head of the earthworm.
Now that is someone who is not afraid of getting dirty.
Oh, wait. Carmen is there using water magic to clean her. When did they discuss it?
As for the flying monsters, it was incredibly easy. Or maybe because the strong one hasn't arrived yet.
Most of the flying monsters are defeated by Spot alone. The angels didn't do anything, and only Kron and Veronica managed to kill some. Good. No one is wasting their mana and stamina.
At least they can still rest and let Spot do the most. Though I doubt they want that.
In any case, the first wave is cleared.. I hope the next one won't be too difficult.
Chapter 415 - Making Giants Killing Each Other
"Seems like we have cleared too many monsters nearby before this. That's why only underground monsters and flying monsters appeared just now," Shelia said as she and the werewolves finished defeating the flying monsters.
Probably it's as she says. Because they have been frequently hunting monsters, either for food or for training purpose, there weren't many of them for the first wave. Though after this, I don't think there will be wave after wave. It will be a powerful torrent that never stops until Angela finished her breakthrough instead.
That is why I asked everyone to work in shift. But I guess I am asking too much as many of them don't care about their shift.
At least I hope they know their limit. Once they are tired, they will rest instead of fighting.
"Alright, there won't be anymore shift. Just fight however you want," I said as I flew to a group of Giants coming this way.
I know that the others can defeat them. but it will take some time because these giants are powerful enough to endure many magic attacks. So, while the werewolves haven't noticed them, I alone approached the giants.
They are looking for the source of the magic fluctuation, which is Angela. That's why I have to kill them.
Or maybe, I don't have to kill them. Instead, I will make them kill each other.
I have practiced it on the monkeys, and now I will be targeting bigger targets.
Now that I'm advanced level, it should be easier to affect them with the gas.
As I used the gas to make them kill each other, the werewolves noticed that I'm facing the giants alone and thought that they want to help. They don't need to do that though.
"King! I will help… what the hell?"
It was Jack who said that. He run as fast as possible here, and when he noticed something is strange, he stopped all of a sudden.
"Step back, or they will target you. I alone am enough here. Take care of other places," I said.
Jack is the second strongest werewolf after Shelia. Though the gap between their strength is bigger since I brought Shelia too many locations. But he is much stronger and faster than the time he fought Kayla. But I still think that Kayla will still win if they fight once again.
Jack stopped after witnessing the giants are punching each other with the intent to kill. My magic is working really well on them. Though the amount of mana I used is much more when I use it on a single giant, than when I used it on three monkeys.

One giant equal to four or five monkeys. Is that how math works? I don't know. After all, even five monkeys will be squashed easily by the giant with one hit.
Maybe it's because they have bigger lungs?
In any case, the giants and the surrounding monsters are easily defeated without having the others to lift a finger.
This time, not just Jack. But many other members of our group, including the angels and the humans, watched the giants killing each other in horror.
"Umm… Master? Is that your doing?" Graham asked.
"Yes. Oh, right. I haven't shown you what other thing I can do, huh? Maybe I should have brought you over during the time I experimented on the monkeys," I said.
"…Master! I promise you that I and the angels will be loyal to you for the rest of our lives!" Graham said as he kneeled in front of me.
Is he that afraid of me using this gas on the angels? I even see the angels nearby kneeled down like Graham did.
"Don't worry. I won't use it on you guys. Unless I have to. But I hope it won't get that far," I said.
With this, the angels' loyalty toward me is increased a lot. I doubt any of them dare to betray me after seeing that.
Knowing that this side is totally secure, they split up and searched for enemies on their own instead of waiting. Sigh… there are too many battle-crazed people here.
Well, I will be the one staying behind with Elsie, Sunny, and the others who choose to wait and see.
I looked inside the dome where Angela is, and see that while closing her eyes, she seems to be in pain. But she endures it.
Four elements, which opposing each other like ice and fire, are forcefully combined inside of her. Making her feels chaotic energy inside of her.
At least that's what I think. I can only wish her for the best and protect her for the incoming hostiles.
The others are spread too wide and creates several small gaps letting some monsters they didn't kill to pass through. I guess I can't just sit still after all.
But before they come close, Shirley appear from the resting area and used powerful ice magic to build an ice wall covering the dome.
"I can't just sit still while monsters are trying to kill my friend," Shirley said.
Her ice element might still be at advanced level, but she is cultivating it in the north where it's the coldest, so it will not be long until she reached expert level. But her wind element has reached expert level already.
Shirley flew to the sky as she used Ice Spikes to shot the enemies to dead. Sometimes, when the enemies are crowded in one place, she would use a wide area Wind Slashes so she can defeat many of them in one go.

"Shirley. You are too much in a hurry to cultivate your ice element already before you get used to your expert level wind element. Try to use less mana but with the same strength as before," Veronica said as she is the senior one in wind element.
"Right. Sorry. I'll get used to it in this battle," Shirley said.
This is also a good time for those who have recently improved their level to get used to their new strength.
Veronica is acting like the mentor to the two recently improved wind mages, Shirley and Wendy. While Celestine is mentoring Kayla, and Julia is mentoring Candy. Though in Julia's case, because Candy is learning more things even before she became expert level, the two are teaching each other.
As for Kron, he has become expert level for quite a while, and doesn't need any more guidance.
I wonder if any of us can reach master level before the raid. Though I won't hope too much, it's still best if someone can reach that level.
I believe that as long as Angela can breakthrough to expert level safely, she alone is enough to fight one artificial master level mage. I don't know about the real master level mage though.
I looked at everyone and see that everyone has become much stronger now even though some of them haven't increased their level yet. I actually moved to tears thinking that we can finally have a chance against the cult.
"Roy, you're crying," Victoria said.
"Yeah. We have come this far and everyone is now much stronger than when we first met. I truly wish that we can destroy the cult. So many expert level mages here. And they are much stronger than average expert level mages," I said.
"You're too emotional. But you're right. I also never thought that you would be able to cut through magic. Even among Aura users of my time, it was just a legend," Sonia said. When did she get here?
Because this is an important event, I asked Sonia to stay in this world as long as possible. As for important matter in my world, I told Albert to take care of it himself.
And now, I also have a small camera attached to my body. Because Marie found out that Monsters World is the moon, she enhanced the signal transmitter and receiver so it can receive and transmit signal between two worlds. The Monsters World and the humans' world.
Although Albert and the others can only see the delayed broadcast because of the distance, Marie did it.
I think Albert is watching me making the giants killing each other now. And soon, he will hear the conversation about me crying.
With this many people here, Angela doesn't need to worry about her safety and can focus everything on breaking through. And even someone is injured, we have many healers flying in the sky.
Oh? I see some angels lifted their spears and participating in a battle. I guess even among them, some of them would end up becoming battle-crazed as well after being close with the werewolves for a while.
Seeing them using light magic to shoot from distance, Kayla also tried to do it. She couldn't do it before, but now that she has learned a lot from the angels, she can use Light Beam to shoot light to the enemies. And this is much faster than throwing rocks to the opponent.
I see Candy and Wendy joining together to make a big fire with Candy's fire magic and Wendy's wind magic, to burn many monsters far from here. They have slowly getting used to their new strength.
But when will Angela finish breaking through? I hope it won't be too long.
Chapter 416 - More Incoming Enemies
And so… three days have passed ever since Angela started breaking through. And she hasn't finished yet!
"This must be the longest breaking through in history. It has been three days, and she's still there. Breaking through all four elements at once to expert level must be difficult," I said.
"But is she fine? She hasn't eaten or drink the whole time she's inside there," Victoria asked.
"She's fine. There's no change in her body. And she's not dehydrated as well. I think that's a bit scary as a doctor. I wouldn't want to stay without eating for three days," I said.
"Is that why you refused to get my clones to infect your inner organ?" Victoria asked.
"Obviously. Food is more important," I said.
Right now, I don't have anything to do as the others can handle it. And they also started using the shift system now and started guarding Angela in turns. As for some who are on standby, they are either resting, eating, or even cultivating.
Since everyone is strong enough to handle everything so far, I don't need to do anything. Though for the others, they started to make a bet on how much monsters they can defeat. And I am not allowed to take part. Why!?
I can only fight in close range, so even if I participated, they can still defeat more. But I am not allowed to take part in it? That's ridiculous!
Oh, they know that I can use portals many times now. That's why I was stopped from participating. Tsk!
Anyway, now that it's already three days of protecting Angela, I asked for some more reinforcements. Including Oleg's group from Melk and Hill's group from Mellian. It's a good place as well for them to improve and get stronger.
This way, when weaker enemies come, our stronger members can sit back and relax, while watching our weaker members fighting and giving them guidance as well. This is nice.
And the camera is still working as well, so Albert can watch what's going on here.
So far, it has been quite peaceful despite many places is covered with blood here.
"Is it just me or the monsters are much weaker than during the Stampede back then?" Oleg asked Hill.
"I don't think so. We are also steadily getting stronger as well. Though not as strong as Kron is. He's already expert level," Hill replied.
"Haha! If you focus more in your personal strength, you can be as powerful as I am!" Kron said proudly.
"Hmm… no thanks. I'd rather protect my city with my babies," Hill said.
"Sure then. But why do you call your men as babies? They are all adult," Kron asked.
"Well… it happened," Hill said.
…what the hell? Don't tell me those guys who have been training their body for the sole purpose of keeping their distance to Hill, has changed their ways? Hill has affected them that much?
I'm glad that I didn't stay in Mellian for too long then. Cause I don't want to see the sight of that.

Not just those from Tatrama. People from other countries that their kings can trust were here as well. Though it's not as many as those from Tatrama.
Like how Celestine is busy right now because the people she gave her guidance for the sake of the tournament are here, so she's watching over them now. They are those who will participate in the tournament, and already know what we are going to do. They are getting along with Kayla and the others.
Though I believe, just like in the tournament in Melk, none of them would hold themselves back in case they are facing each other. They are still interested in being the strongest after all.
Though now that there are several expert level mages as well from Tatrama, I think it's good if other countries have more expert level mages as well. Because I think we are overpowering them. But since Celestine and Julia will represent their country, I think it will still be interesting to watch.
Though with their experience as expert level mages, they still have the advantages than those who just recently improved.
"Master! New enemies approaching!"
All of a sudden, Graham shouted of a new incoming enemy. The only reason he announced the warning is because he thinks that the new enemies are much stronger than the previous ones we fought, or because they are an intelligent species.
"Thanks for the information. I'll go and greet them now," I said as I looked at the direction where the new enemies coming from.
"They are still too far, so I don't know if your eyes can see them now," Graham said.
"Then let's go there," I said as I run, with Graham flying at high speed above me. Then I asked him, "what kind of enemies is it this time?"
"They are vampires. They have strong body, fast, and they suck the blood of living beings," Graham said.
That's just like the vampires in story. But is that all?
"What about their magic? Do they have any?" I asked again.
"Probably something related to blood. And if they come here after sucking the blood of every other monsters they encountered on the way, they might be really powerful," Graham said.
Blood related magic, and they might have sucked a lot of blood from the monsters they encountered. I want to think that they can be negotiated with, but I can't hope too much. I'll meet them while getting reinforcement to prepare to fight. They will fight after I give the signal.
"Graham, create a giant clone of yourself. We might need it. Sonia. You're here?"
"What is it, Roy?" Sonia appears after I tapped the buckle of my belt.
"Get the werewolves ready. Things might get… physical."
"The enemy is physically gifted, huh? I'll tell Shelia and the other werewolves. What about Kayla and the humans?" Sonia asked.
"They will stay here to protect Angela. There might be other powerful species approaching while I'm fighting the vampires," I said.
"Understood," Sonia left after she said that.
Can I negotiate with the vampires? Even if I can what should I give them? Blood? How much?
Let's think about it carefully first. They are monsters. And I have experience in turning monsters into allies.
First, it was the werewolves. I defeated their king, and become their next king.
Next was the elves. They are cowards, and I gave them land and security.
Lastly, the angels. I used force to get them loyal to me.

…there's nothing I can give to the vampires other than making them understand through violence.
Let's talk with them first before we fight.
I can finally see them now. They have pale skin as if they never leave their house. Don't they ever get tanned? It's the sun is bright right now.
Oh, wait. I guess vampires being creature that can only walk during the night is just a myth. They are walking normally now.
There's one thing that makes me want to kill them right away. They are all good looking!
Though I just want to kill the male ones. Kill them before Victoria even fantasize things about them.
Most importantly, they have sharp canines in their mouth. And it was also longer than human's canines. Do they ever bite their lips, tongue, or even the inside of their mouth with those sharp things when eating? The pain must be much worse than being bitten by a normal human's teeth.
And the vampires I see far in front of me… are following one of them who seems to be their leader. He's a vampire who seems to be a ten years old boy if he's a human. But I think they live longer than humans, so he must be many times older than me despite his height is about as tall as Daniel's. Now I miss Daniel.
Since we know the leader now, I'll go and see if we can talk or not.
"Good afternoon, vampires. What can I help you with?" I tried to be polite.
"Who are you?" the vampire boy asked.
"A friend of the source of this magic fluctuation," I replied.
"I see… then, not just your friend. We will also suck the blood of everyone here!" the boy shouted.
After that, multiple vampires jumped at me in high speed. Not fast enough for me though. I can easily see them and dodge. But rather than dodging, I'd rather kill them in the spot.
I know that I want to see if they can be turned into our comrades or not, but we can't take the risk. He has said that his intention is to suck Angela's blood. And I won't let him and any other vampires get closer to her.
As they get close to me, I quickly used Reizpear and Victokatana to kill the attacking vampires. With both weapons, I killed them all easily.
"…you're quite strong. Even though we have drunk quite a bit of blood, you can still overpower them with your strength. What are you?" the boy vampire asked.
"A human," I replied.
"So, what's a human?" the boy asked again.
After asking that, one of the vampires next to him who seems to be much older than old man Henry, whispering something to him. Probably telling him what a human is.
"Oh? It seems like your kind has the most delicious blood. Everyone! It's a feast!" the boy shouted.
Really? My blood is delicious? I don't think so. Probably only for the vampires.
This time, all of the vampires are coming at me. And I used intimidation on them by using Aura and my will. Thanks to the experience with Andro, I can somehow use something similar to his intimidation. Though it's much weaker, it's still enough to handle the weaker vampires.
"I will kill anyone with the intention to harm me or my friends," I said intimidatingly.
While that happens, the group of werewolves finally arrive with Shelia and Jack in the lead. Seems like they really want to fight the vampires.
"Finally… FINALLY! Vampires versus werewolves! I can finally see it happening in front of me!"
…let's ignore the Black Slime who has her dream coming true in front of her. But she's right that this will be a great battle between the werewolves and the vampires.. As long as the werewolves are strong enough to handle the vampires, I won't lift a finger anymore.
Chapter 417 - Vampires Versus Werewolves
Vampires against werewolves. Which side will win?
Obviously, as I'm on the side of the werewolves, and I'm their king as well, I will support the werewolves to win. Though it seems like it will be a little difficult.
The vampires have gained more power after drinking a lot of blood from the monsters they encounter this far. As for the werewolves, other than transformation, they don't have anything else that can improve their strength in a short time.
Other than Shelia, Jack, and several other werewolves, most of them were overpowered by the vampires. Some even got their blood sucked and only make the vampires stronger. Although the werewolves have regeneration power, blood loss can't be regenerated. Which makes the werewolves weaker, while the vampires grow stronger.
But for now, the battle is still even because we have more werewolves than the vampires. When a werewolf got injured or get their blood sucked, the other werewolves would rescue them so there are no casualties at all. They have gotten much better in their teamwork.
In the past, just like the angels, they would prefer individual strength over teamwork. Though the angels were much worse. But now, they know that if they can't win the fight alone, they will ask for help.
Other than the werewolves, we have one archangel here who is helping. He's Graham. Though he didn't fight and just letting his clone do all the fighting. It's because the werewolves are moving too much, and the clothes covering their body have been ripped. Making Graham unable to see the fight and just letting his giant shadow clone fight the vampires.
"I-indecent! Fighting while naked!" Graham shouted.
"They are still wearing clothes," I replied.
"But it's no difference than being naked!"
"Like I said, get used to it!"
If it's just one or two girls showing their skin, Graham can now endure the sight. But since there are too many of them, and with the female vampires got their clothes ripped by the werewolves' claws, the sight was too much for Graham.
"Go there and fight with the others!" I gave the archangel a command to fight.
"No! The sight is too much for me. I can just let my clone to fight. And he doesn't even have any blood in him, so the vampires won't get stronger," Graham said.
"…you may be right. Well, just don't get in anyone's way then."
Seeing the giant twelve-winged shadow clone fighting the vampires, I can see that the appearance of the giant clone is very helpful for the werewolves. But if Graham is fighting as well… he might cause problem instead since he doesn't know where to look.
Meanwhile, the vampire boy who is the leader of the vampires was angry seeing how the vampires lost against the werewolves despite being the stronger one.
"What the hell are you doing!? They are just a bunch of werewolves, but you can't kill them!? Suck their blood and get even stronger!" the boy shouted.
"Say the boy who doesn't want to lift his finger," I provoked the boy.
"…you, do you really want me to fight?" the boy asked me.

LIMELIGHT MEDIA
"No. I want you to die. Though if you prefer to keep your life, you can withdraw instead," I continued provoking him.
"I will kill you and drink all your and your friend's blood!"
The boy charged at me ignoring the old vampire next to him trying to stop him.
I just stay calm when he's approaching, because I have someone I can trust to protect me.
Well, not Graham. Although he's right next to me, he's not the one I mentioned.
It's Shelia. The strongest werewolf.
As the boy get close to me and throw a fist, Shelia caught his fist with her palm and stopped the attack.
"You will never touch our king," Shelia said.
"Get away, you stinky dog!"
The vampire boy and strongest werewolf started fighting away from me after Shelia baited him to fight her. At least one of the strongest vampires will be busy.
As for the other strong vampire, the old man, Jack approached him and challenged him to a fight.
"A puppy picking a fight against the vampire lord? Know your place!" the old vampire shouted.
"I know my place. It's in front of you. Stopping you from approaching our king and his friends," Jack said as he swung his claws at the old vampire, in which he dodged it.
While the top fighters of both sides started fighting, I'm focusing my Divine Vision to see the surrounding area to see if the vampires brought some other monsters to fight. But it seems like they are the only species nearby.
"Roy, who is our new guest?"
All of a sudden, Spot flew beside me and asked about our new guests.
"They are vampires. Just let the werewolves fight them. Graham is helping them though. Just the clone," I replied.
"Oh, what a shame. I wish I had stronger opponent myself," Spot said.
"I wish there won't be any more enemies instead. How are the others doing?" I asked.
"They are fine. Though some were injured while protecting Angela, the angels healed them and they recovered enough to fight again."
"Good. You can go patrol the area again to see if there are more incoming enemies. Seems like Angela will stay there for a while longer. Maybe a week."
"One week? Really?"
"I don't know. It's just my estimation. Though it's best if we leave some enemies alive since Angela would most likely try out her new strength after reaching expert level," I said.
"Knowing her, I think you are right. I'll take a look at the surrounding and see if the others needed help. Do the werewolves really not need any help?" Spot asked.

"Don't worry. I'm here," I said.
Spot left this place and take a look at the other area. I also used my Divine Vision again to see how the others are doing, and they are still fine despite their injuries. I take a look at Elsie who noticed me right away, and she shook her head telling me that she hasn't seen another wave coming.
Seems like after those monsters near the dome is defeated, the others can take a breather while we are still busy with the vampires.
Well, since there's no more enemies coming at the moment, we'll just focus on the vampires.
The other werewolves are finally gaining advantage. Seeing that their leader, the vampire boy, is fighting Shelia, the vampires who were fighting the werewolves were distracted and the werewolves used that chance to gain advantage.
What? The vampires also have regeneration magic? That's annoying.
But the werewolves still have advantage in number. And the vampires seem to be using the blood they suck to regenerate. Which makes them weaker every time they got injured.
Hmm… it will take a long time for the werewolves to finish all of the vampires. But if I help, it can be done faster. Though I won't help them in fighting, I can help by provoking the vampires.
"The vampires are losing! Keep attacking them, werewolves! We're winning! Show them that the werewolves are the strongest race!"
Of course I won't forget to cheer the werewolves to raise their morale. The werewolves howled, and their attacks are much better than before.
Even though it's physically impossible for them to increase their strength all of a sudden, a good motivation can make their attack stronger. That's why while I provoke the vampires, I didn't forget to raise the werewolves' morale.
"Tsk! Duke! We're no match against them! There are too many of them! Let's withdraw and call for reinforcement!" the vampire lord who is fighting Jack shouted.
It seems like the vampire boy is a duke. And hearing that they still have reinforcement, I'm guessing that they still have vampire king or queen.
If the vampires withdraw from here, they will ask for reinforcement. Which mean, the fight will be harder than now. But if all of them die here, the vampires staying behind will notice sooner or later that this troop is defeated, so they will still come here anyway. But we will fight one less troop then.
I guess the correct answer will be to defeat the vampires here. I hope that the next time the vampires are here, Angela has finished breaking through so she can participate. And I will need others' help as well. Not just the werewolves.
"Eradicate all the vampires! Don't let them retreat!"
"Vampires versus werewolves, with the werewolves winning. This is a good material for my next story," Victoria said to herself.
What story? That's obvious. Something that only she likes. Let's ignore her.
Many vampires have fallen. Each time a vampire fall, the werewolf who killed them will help other werewolf who is in trouble. Although the troubled werewolves don't like it that they are being seen to have trouble, they don't complain at all because they know that they are not strong enough. And instead, it will motivate them to grow stronger.
It's amazing. I have such species under me. And I have to show them how right they are making me their king.
I guess once the vampire king or queen come, I will fight as well.
Ever since Angela begins breaking through, it has been three days. Which mean for the next reinforcement of the vampires to arrive, it might take another three days at least. And I still don't know until when Angela will come out of the dome.
Though the vampires haven't been defeated yet. The duke and the lord, along with some other vampires are still fighting.
But we are winning, so it's fine to ignore them.. Just leave them to the werewolves.
Chapter 418 - Werewolves' Victory
For now, let's watch how the fight continues.
I can see everything, so I will explain one by one.
Let's see… there are three battles going on. Shelia against the vampire duke boy, Jack against the vampire duke, and the rest of the werewolves and the vampires.
For now, about the werewolves and the vampires.
It was not easy for the werewolves, but they slowly but surely gained advantages, and started killing the vampires. Once several of them were defeated, it was obvious which side will win.
Although the vampires said that they need to retreat, they were unable to because of the werewolves.
Since that side was done, I don't need to explain any more about that, right?
Next is Jack against the vampire lord.
That vampire looks to be the oldest among the vampires. Though I don't know if he's really the oldest or not. But at least I know his status is higher than most of them. And seems like the only one with higher status is the vampire duke boy.
That vampire lord looks about as old as Grandpa Werewolf. But he's much weaker, so I guess his age should be less than Grandpa Werewolf when he died.
And because Jack has improved a lot ever since then, he is just slightly weaker than Grandpa Werewolf when I killed him. At least that's what I thought.
But their strength seems to be evenly matched. That vampire lord must have drunk a lot of blood himself before. That's why they are evenly matched.
If it's me, I can easily defeat that old vampire. It will be even easier if I can trick him. But for now, Jack is the one fighting. It's rare for him to find an equal match after getting so strong. As for Shelia, she's already way stronger than him. Probably even stronger than Grandpa Werewolf when I fought him.
That old vampire realizes that he's evenly matched with Jack, so he tried to suck Jack's blood to get stronger. Obviously, Jack didn't allow him to. Though each time he shed blood, that old vampire will try to get that blood into his mouth. Seems like just a little bit of blood can still make him stronger.
I learned a lot about vampires today. This way, in case their reinforcement arrives, I can expect what they can do. Though I want to see if they can use magic or not.
Oh? They can use magic! And it's to use the blood they drunk and used it to create an object they can use. And in this case, that old vampire is using blood to creates a sword.
"You're much stronger than expected, little puppy. Although I used quite a lot of blood for this sword, there's no way for you to win. You should have let us retreat if you want to live, puppy!" the old vampire said to Jack.
That seems to be a provocation toward Jack. But Jack is already used to spar with me during this last few month, so he's used to provocation worse than that.
"If you want to provoke me, you should have done better than that! I have fought with a much stronger swordsman than you, so it's you who is at disadvantage!" Jack said.

Is the one he called a stronger swordsman is me? I'll give him a reward later. Probably a sack of dog food. Nah, a sack filled with chicken nuggets for him. But the sack will be smaller than the sack for dog food. I will let him choose.
With the old vampire got weaker after creating the blood sword, Jack should have gotten the upper hand. But the old vampire's swordsmanship was better than mine. Though if I fought him, I can overpower him with brute strength. But it seems like watching him using sword can teach me something.
Even though Victoria is a swordswoman, because she lacks the strength, she can't show everything she knows to me. That's why watching a good swordsman fighting will only help me improve.
"Roy, look at how he wields the sword. It was as if the sword is weightless," Victoria said.
"As for you, you can literally change the weight of the sword. And your sword is really part of your body," I said.
"I'm talking about sword skill and not Black Slime's racial skill. Just watch and learn. Though I think Jack will still be the winner in the end," Victoria said.
I agree with her. Although my skill is not as good as the old vampire, he is weaker and slower than me. Once Jack is used to the old vampire's skill, it will be done in an instant.
And just as I expected, when the old vampire swung his sword, Jack parried the sword by using his claws on the side of the blade.
After losing his balance, Jack clawed the heart of the vampire out and eat it. I know that he's a monster, but I don't expect him to eat the heart of a vampire. I only know him as a werewolf who loves fried chicken and chicken nugget.
I hope he won't get used to the taste of raw food again like before he met me.
"Don't worry, my king. Cooked meals are more delicious," Jack said.
Then why did you eat his heart?
At the same time, Shelia is still fighting the vampire duke boy. And that vampire boy is about as strong as Grandpa Werewolf.
"Shelia! He's about as strong as Grandpa Werewolf!" I shouted.
"Really? That's good. Now that I have become stronger, I want to see if I can beat grandpa or not," Shelia said.
"You are not strong enough to defeat me!" the vampire boy said.
This vampire boy's blood magic is much better than the old vampire. Because he only used very little amount of blood to create two daggers which he held in each hand. It's dual-wielding vampire now.
Maybe I can meet other vampire that use spears or other types of weapon as well. Though if they are hostile, I don't want to meet them. But since they will be here anyway because Angela hasn't finished yet, I'll just watch how the vampire boy fight.
It's claws against daggers. And two weapons, if I can say that claws are weapons, are clashing.
It might look like the vampire boy is stronger. But Shelia is better in fighting.
Shelia is in her werewolf form with her tail out, and as she blocked the daggers, she parries them and did a spin. While doing so, she makes sure that her tail will hit the boy, and it did.
Although it's just a tail, it's still strong enough to get the vampire boy lose his balance. And Shelia used that chance to claw at the boy again. But the vampire boy is fast enough to react as he dodges, and throw a counter. In which Shelia has no choice but to block it. And the strength difference makes her take three steps backward.
I can see well that Shelia has more experience in fighting than the vampire boy. Probably because although the boy is strong, he let his subordinate do the fighting instead. That's why he lacked experience. But his current strength means that the difference won't be too much.

Seeing that he has no advantage fighting on the ground, he lets out blood wing appears on his back. The wings are red and it flaps as the boy flew. And Shelia who can run on air, won't let him get away.
"So, vampire can fly as well, huh?" I said.
"Alright. What else is the same characteristic with the fictional version of vampires in my world," Victoria said.
…let's ignore her.
The two are fighting in the sky now. And the sound of clashes between daggers and claws can be heard. Some vampires and werewolves who were fighting stopped to see what's going on. But the werewolves reacted quickly and kill the stopped vampires.
As they fight, Shelia got used to the boy's strength and slashed her claws at his unprotected arm. Severing his right arm from the body.
Weirdly enough, the boy didn't react much. Other than the fact that there's a string of blood connecting the severed limb to the body.
The boy smiled, as it turns out that he can manipulate the severed arm as long as the blood string is connecting it with his body.
The severed arm, with dagger still in its grip, is stabbing Shelia from the back. Shelia notices too late as she's unable to dodge, but she was quick enough to not get hit in the vital as she slightly leaned her body sideway. That way, the dagger stabbed on her shoulder instead of her vital.
But Shelia is smart. The moment the dagger is stabbing her shoulder, she knows that the boy will let down his guard at that moment. And in that exact moment, Shelia is already had her other hand prepared to slash the boy with full power.
As the boy smiled, he realized that Shelia is still attacking. He had not time at all to dodge, and his body is severed into pieces. But he didn't die yet.
"Urgh… please don't kill me," the boy said.
I approached the boy, and checked why he's still alive even though his head is away from his body. Is it because of his blood magic?
"How are you still alive?" I asked.
"It's his heart. It's still beating," Shelia said.
She notices that? I look at the separated chest of the boy and see his heart is beating indeed.
That mean the only way to kill them is by destroying the heart, huh? Is that why Jack ate the heart of the old vampire?
Does it mean he knows that the only way to kill vampire, or at least the stronger vampire, is to destroy their heart? Did he learn that by instinct?
I guess monsters are still monsters.
Shelia then stepped on the heart and destroys it. Killing the vampire boy instantly.
The morale of the surviving vampires dropped as the werewolves easily defeat them.
With this we have protected Angela for three days. But there's no sign of her coming out at all.
I guess we will continue protecting her for a few more days.
