The Only Aura User In Magic World

857 To the Bottom of the Sea

“Is your sight still fine?”

That’s what Sophie asked Sunglasses a few days after the operation.

It was a success. And the other patients are also fine. Even those who were not healed by healing magic by Kayla. They are all fine. Their sight has returned.

“I’m fine. I can still see just fine. Can I remove the sunglasses now?” Sunglasses asked.

“No. I won’t be able to tell who you are if not for the sunglasses,” I said.

“...I guess this will be my trademark,” he said.

After the operation, I didn’t return to look for my last familiar yet. I stayed in the hospital to watch over the patients. And I also helped the doctors since, well, I’m a doctor myself.

And Sophie is busy with taking care of the patients whose sight had just returned. So I took some of her jobs.

Her old patients were complaining that it was me who appeared instead of the beautiful Sophie. If I was the patient, I would feel the same.

.....

So I told them that my girlfriend is busy with her new operation. So they became depressed knowing that Sophie had a boyfriend.

Not only that they were sick, they also got depressed as well. Did they think that someone as pretty as Sophie won’t have a boyfriend?

Maybe I should propose to her so she will wear a ring. That way, everyone will know that she’s taken.

Though it’s not like she can wear the ring all the time. Like for a surgery for example. It will just be a bother for her during a surgery.

And the most annoying ones are those who faked their illnesses to meet Sophie. They complained that it should only be her who they met. They even threatened me by saying that they are close to important people in the city.

But they don’t know that those important people in Cassau were all Albert’s men. Which mean for those important people, I’m their important person. And since I’m important, they will protect everyone around me.

When they found out about it, those men promised to never bother with Sophie ever again. Because I said that they will be blacklisted from entering the hospital ever again if they continue faking their illnesses to meet Sophie. So when they are sick for real, no one in the hospital will heal them.

They gave up when I spread air magic that let them cough without stopping. Making them think that they are sick for real. And I refused to meet them. so they had no choice but to give up meeting Sophie.

They were so persistent so I have to use force. Although the force I said is just a bit of air magic, it’s still a force. If it’s violence, then they would be dead instead of leaving.

I’m sure that’s not all. Sophie will continue to be visited by weird people. But just helping her a bit like this is enough to lessen her burden.

Though if she really hates them, then she could just strike them with lightning. She’s strong enough to defeat most people in this city. Except for us and probably some agents.

“Well, I think it’s about time that I return to Monsters World. If you need anything, contact me right away,” I said to Sophie.

“Okay. It’s been fun working together with you. Let’s do it again some time in the future,” Sophie said with a smile.

“And I will... I don’t know. Maybe I will try to adapt my sight with that thing you call Mind’s Eye. With my own vision, I think my Mind’s Eye can improve,” Sunglasses said.

That’s a good idea.

Sunglasses’ Mind’s Eye is considerably much better than other people’s Mind’s Eye. Even Angela. Or maybe me, but I refuse to agree to that.

He has been blind for a long time and developed Mind’s Eye on his own. I hope just by recovering his sight, his Mind’s Eye won’t just disappear and instead, it will improve.

With Spot around my waist, we entered the portal. Ray is not with us now.

“Where will we go now?” Victoria asked.

“Let’s go to the deepest part of the sea. We have never been deeper than that place where Spot and Ray raced before. The trench where I fought a mantis shrimp. Maybe we could find something stronger below there,” I said.

“Right. I have never dived deeper than that. Maybe we can find stronger monster there. Though we need to find a place that deep,” Spot said.

Maybe we need to find another trench like that. A deeper one this time.

“Spot, we will add weight by changing Victoria’s weight. This way, we can reach there faster,” I said.

“Then go on your own. I’ll swim by myself. I just need to follow you, right?” Spot said.

“You won’t sink with me?” I asked.

“Too scary. Even as a sea monster, if I dive too fast or returns to the surface too fast from the deep part of the sea, it will harm me. Even if you try to protect me with Aura, I don’t want to do it. I don’t want to get used to it,” Spot said.

Then Victoria explained that the change in the pressure from the bottom of the sea to the surface, could harm most creatures. I’m just a weird one since I have Aura.

Then Spot will dive down slowly, while I will dive quickly with Victoria. I’ll try to not move at all from where I dived so Spot won’t have to look for me.

This is the small island we found somewhere in the middle of the ocean in Monsters World. The sea nearby are so deep. But we swum quite a bit far from that island before we stopped.

“Then, I will be going first,” Spot said as he dived vertically into the sea. He’s not as fast as usual.

Usually, he would dive down diagonally. So he can get used to the pressure when we dive too deep. That’s why he’s diving slowly now.

“Victoria, we should go too,” I said as I who was standing on the water covered us both with Aura to protect me from the dangerous water pressure.

“Then I’ll take you down with style,” Victoria said as she transformed herself into a rope.

A rope to bring me down?

Then she tied herself around my legs and transformed the other end of the rope into a boulder.

Now that’s sinking with style. As if a stylized mafia gang trying to kill me by sinking me into the sea.

The boulder’s weight is changed to the max as I got pulled into the water.

I can still lift that boulder with my strength if I want to. But right now, I want to sink into the ocean.

Soon after, we encountered Spot. So I tried my best to wave my hand for a greeting and told him that I will be waiting down there.

I sunk so fast that even some monsters who saw me and tried to chase after me couldn’t keep up with the speed of me descending. I guess I’m the fastest creature under the water now. Only when I’m sinking.

It took a while, but I can finally see the bottom. Though we’re not as fast to the bottom as back when Spot and Ray were racing. Which mean it’s still not as deep as that time.

As we touched the bottom of the ocean, Victoria returned to her small slime form inside my ear. Of course she adjusted her weight to the lightest now.

We chatted while waiting for Spot to get here. And after about more than thirty minutes, I can see Spot. He’s even slower than when he started diving. New chapters are published on ɴovel(F)ɪre

“Let’s wait here for a while so that I can adjust to the pressure here. We’re not in a race, so let’s be patient,” Spot said.

Back when he was racing, he would use his full speed to dive. I guess that race took a lot of his strength to finish.

After a while, I rode on Spot’s back again as we swim. We’re going to continue looking from the bottom of the sea like this.

There are several monsters with really strong shells at the bottom of the sea. But just a punch from me, and they died. I guess they are still not good enough to be my familiar.

Even if we dived into the sea, we don’t know if we could find monsters like this. Maybe we will need to do it a few more time.

“Spot, if we can’t find any good monster now, then we might need to look for it again. Which means that we might dive like this several more times. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to join me,” I said to Spot.

“Then next time, I won’t go too deep. I will look in the shallower area for strong monsters for you. Just continue bringing me here. At least until I got bored,” Spot said.

“If that’s what you want, then sure. Today, and for the next few days maybe, let’s search together,” I said.

If I can’t find anything, then should I try my luck in summoning monster like how I did it with Victoria and Ray?

No, I might not be lucky all the time. So let’s just focus on searching manually.
