Chapter 513: At the Last Cell
After I transported the man/monster from the dragonic race along with everyone in the cell to Andro’s back, I continue to the next cell.
Even if some of them can fly and can fly away from Andro, I don’t care. I told Andro to keep his intimidation at all time until I return. Just a little bit of intimidation should be enough to keep the monsters stay at his back.
The second cell, I see more monsters. But good thing that they still have their senses. I can talk to them. Maybe I shouldn’t open a portal after entering each cell. I’ll just gather all those who will be moved to Andro’s back together. So, I told those at the second cell to wait. And since they listened to me when I spoke to Gecko, I don’t have to keep repeating what I say.
In the second cell, some of the monsters are still connected with contracts. But no summoning contract. They got contracted by tamers. They are fine to be moved then.
On the third cell, some of the monsters have lost their mind. I peeked at the fourth and see all of them lost their mind. I guess this is where they separate the line.
But at least those in the third cell didn’t attack me right away as soon as I entered the cell. I tried to ask them something, but conversation never happened. Seems like those with senses have given up on living. We have depressed monsters here.
“Alright. I will kill you all here then,” I said.
.....
“...Sorry, but if you point your hostility to us, we will attack you even when we have no will to live,” one of the humanoid monsters with fish head said. He was a summoned monster from Monsters World. So, unlike the fishman that I fought in the past, this one has intelligent and can speak. Though I will kill it.
“Don’t worry. I’m strong,” I said full of confidence.
“...That’s reassuring. Please give me instant death.”
“Try not to fight back and give me trouble,” I said.

“I am strong. But I don’t want to waste my strength killing you all. Also, can’t you just fight among yourselves here? That will make it easier for me to kill you,” I said.
Right after I said that, the fishman attacked the orc emperor next to it. It’s a brawl in a prison cell. For someone who has lost their will to live, that fishman seem to be enjoying a fight.
I asked them to fight each other so I can save my stamina for the war. There are still a lot of cells deeper in the cave. It’s something that an expert level earth mage built, so I guess it’s to be expected for it to be so deep.
If I can just call Celestine over here, she can easily destroy everything here in an instant. But tomorrow is the start of the tournament, so I won’t ask her to do it.
I dodged a monster that attacked me, and then with Aura gathered on my feet, I stuck myself on the wall and walk to the ceiling and just wait until the monster rumble here is over. Though there are some flying monsters that tried to attack me, I’m doing fine.
And when only three monsters remaining, with the fishman being one of them, I came down and killed the monsters.
Now, to the fourth cage. But it seems like I won’t even be able to get a proper conversation. I’ll just use the irritating gases on the fourth cell and so on so they will fight among themselves. I’ll kill the last one standing myself. For now, I’ll transport those in the second cell to Andro’s back.
Now, I can go until the end of the cave and let the monsters fight among themselves. Though I won’t use the gas on the cell where Shelia, Graham, or Arin entered. I told them to look around if they see any werewolves, angels, or vampires that they know.
Well, beyond the third cell, the rest are mindless monsters. I might just kill them all in the end.
As I keep spreading the gases on the cells, and the noise became too loud from the monsters fighting, I see Graham stopped on his track in front of the seventh cell while Arin and Shelia have gone deeper. Don’t tell me that he’s not motivated to look at the cell.
“What’s wrong, Graham? I’m going to get the monsters fight among themselves. It’s best for you to keep going in case you find anyone you know,” I said.
“...Master, will you look at them? They are just monsters like me. And they used to have intellect. But look at them right now! They became mindless monsters because of some humans!” Graham shouted in anger.
“You think I don’t know that? Didn’t I tell you about how evil the cult is? Move your feet. I’m going to kill the rest of the monsters. If there are any angels that you know, if you don’t move fast, I will kill them,” I said to Graham while spreading the gas to the cell in front of him.
“...I’ll go,” Graham said while looking dejected.
What is it? Does he feel even less motivated now? What an annoying guy. I think the Graham who used to feel shy whenever he sees girl with revealing outfits are much better. I could laugh at him back then. Now he’s just a depressed angel without motivation.
For now, I’ll continue going to the next cell one by one and use the irritating gases. I can use the one that makes them kill each other, but this is fine. That one uses more mana after all.
When I asked Sara if she wants to learn my gases, she said that she don’t need the irritating gas, depressing gas, or the one that make people kill each other. She doesn’t need them because she fights from distance. As for other gases, they have other purposes and very convenience.
Which mean I’m the only one who can exploit all the gases however I want since I can fight both in close range and long range. And with the grenades, I can use the gases from afar as well. Seems like having Aura and air element both is the best combination.
Soon enough, I see Arin and Shelia returned. Seems like they have finished looking for the monsters.
“I have seen all the werewolves here. None of them are the werewolves I know. But I don’t like how someone robbed them of their will, so I killed them myself,” Shelia reported.
“That’s fine. What about Arin?” I asked the vampire.
“There are some other vampires as well. But I didn’t do anything to them,” Arin said.
“That’s fine. I will take care of things here. I will transport you back to the fake village,” I said as I opened a portal.
“What about Graham?” Shelia asked.
“...I’ll take care of him as well,” I said.
The two monsters entered the portal and I closed it right away. And then, I used Divine Vision to see the cell at the deepest. Which means, the monsters have long lost their mind. And I see Graham entered the cell and killed every single monster except for one. An angel.
I didn’t waste any more time as I run while spreading the irritating gases on the cells I passed. And I stopped in front of the last cell to see Graham is hugging the angel that is trying to kill him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Georgia! It’s me! Your brother!” Graham said to the angel he hugged.
...This is the worst. Not only it’s someone he knows. It’s his own sister. And she has lost her mind from the experiments.
“...Graham. What will you do now?” I asked Graham.
“What!? Don’t you dare kill my sister! Even if you’re my master, I will kill you!”
“Fine. I will leave her in your care. Whether you will kill her yourself or you want to bring her to the monster village, it’s up to you. Just so you know, as long as the cult still exist, this kind of things will continue to happen in the future. Whether it’s another angel, a werewolf, a vampire, or even a human being, they don’t care. The only thing I want you to do, and what I keep reminding you about, is for you to help me destroy the cult. That’s all. What will you do now?” I asked.
“This... I’ll find a way to get her back no matter what! Master! Please help me! And in return, I will do my best to destroy everything related to the cult!”
This Graham is different. From now on, he won’t be baited with freedom anymore. But with the strong hate toward the cult.
I always wanted Graham to be like this. But I don’t want it to be this way. Seeing his own sister being used as an experiment and lost her mind is the worst thing that can happen to him. Though I never thought he would have a sister.
“Hmm? I see some of the enemies approaching. Five of them, and they are all mohawks,” I said while looking outside.
“Master. I will kill them myself!” Graham said while still hugging her sister.
I used the sleeping gas and calming gas on her so she will sleep quickly. And then, I transported her back to the fake village. The other angels should know about her.
After telling them to take care of her, I closed the portal.
“Five mohawks at once. I will go as well. But are you confident that you can win?” I asked Graham.
“This will be the first time you see me go all out. Just watch,” Graham said.
“Fine.”
One against five. Maybe two since Graham has his shadow clone. I’m curious at how strong he is since he said this is the first time he will fight seriously. Maybe Graham is actually the strongest monster that I have.
