The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 179: Killing Luiz And Some Stalkers

The crowd make a path for me to walk through. I also make sure to walk to a direction where no kids are watching. Since the pained Luiz on my shoulder is leaving a trail of blood on the ground from his ear. His blood even dirtied my clothes. Good thing it was borrowed.

When I was outside of everyone’s sight, Victoria approached me and stayed on top of my head.

“You just cut off his ear in front of everyone!”

“Thanks for the explanation of something that I did. Yes, I know.” I said.

“Now no one will purposely cause trouble to Shirley knowing that you are her guard.”

Seems like Victoria noticed my intention. That mean I don’t need to explain it to her again.

“Where are you going now?” Victoria asked.

.....

“Out of the city. We need monsters to return back to the forest so I will use Luiz as their feed.”

“Is that all?”

I think Victoria noticed something is wrong as well. That’s why she asked.

“Well, there are several people following me. I think they are not in the crowd before and were hiding inside one of the building nearby. Now that I’m leaving the square, they left as well and started following me. I can see them with my Divine Vision.”

There are about seven people following me. I can’t see if they have HGB in their mouth since they are too far. I need to turn my sight toward them to see clearly if they have HBGs or not, but if I do that, they will be suspicious.

I have two possibilities of why they are following me. Both are because of Luiz.

First, they wanted to kill Luiz. My voice acting was so good that they should think that it was Luiz himself who’s doing the talking. That’s why when some secrets were leaked thanks to my voice acting, they needed him dead in case I’m not really taking him to be killed.

Second, they are trying to save him. They will try to ask Luiz about everything that happened. From how the stampede didn’t work, to how he and the captured cult members leaked the information despite everyone we captured have HGB in their mouth and didn’t took their own lives. As for Luiz, he didn’t die because we put the Magic Restriction Collar on him. And we don’t have any other Magic Restriction Collar anymore since it was used for slaves, and slavery is banned in this kingdom. That’s why they wanted to know the truth.

To achieve any of those goals, they need me to die. So, whatever their goal is, killing me is their highest priority to get to Luiz.

I walked outside the gate and approached the horse carriage we have prepared to carry Luiz to the forest. Although it will be faster if I run, I need to act like normal people here if I want to kill them all.

And while putting Luiz on the carriage, I can pretend to prepare the horse while looking at the seven stalkers.

I haven’t trained my Divine Vision to be able to zoom in and see through things while in my see all around vision. I just made up that name on the spot here.

That’s why I need to face them within my sight so I can tell if they have HGBs or not.

There are seven of them. And that’s obvious since I said it before. Five of them are males, and the other two are females. All of them has HGBs in their mouth. That mean they need to be killed.

Oh, wait! There’s another person behind them! Which makes eight. That man is following the seven stalkers a bit away from the reach of my see all around vision. That’s why I thought there are only seven.

Alright, Roy. Think! Why would there be another man behind the stalkers stalking them? Does he have HGB in his mouth? Yes! That mean he’s their ally.

And since I’m not alone here, I can ask for suggestion from others.

“So, there are seven of cult members following me, and another man behind them. Anyone has ideas to why he’s stalking my stalkers?” I asked the other two people here. If I can count Victoria as one.

“...”

“Alright. Luiz doesn’t say anything. So, Victoria?”

Luiz didn’t say anything other than groaning in pain. I thought he might have any idea since he’s a fellow member of the cult. But if he knows something, I can check his reaction from our deductions.

“I think those seven are to either kill Luiz or rescue him. And the last one is probably either the leader or the fastest member. He will escape in case things went south during the mission. Then he will report to the cult about it.” Victoria said.

Hearing Victoria’s guess, Luiz’s body twitched a bit. She might be right.

Then I drove the carriage to the forest. The seven stalkers and their stalker also followed me.

There are no other horses here, but five of them has reached advanced level in their wind element. Which enables them to fly. One of them is my stalkers’ stalker.

I guess he might really be the fastest or the strongest among the bunch.

They all fly high into the sky so I can’t see them. Three of them are carrying those who can’t fly. Then as soon as I reached the forest, they descended and fly low since they can hide themselves behind the trees.

The shaking inside the carriage makes the tied cloth on Luiz’s mouth undone, then I see him about to shout something. I think he wanted to warn the eight of them that they have fallen into a trap. But I won’t let you.

I used my air magic to make it so Luiz unable to say anything. But he tried to turn his body to face the stalkers to warn them using his expression. Although it’s difficult for him to do that with his joints dislocated, he’s using his muscles alone to move his body.

I guess I’ll just kill him now.

I threw a knife imbued with my Aura and pierced Luiz’s heart. He died without having the chance to inform whoever following us.

“Is it fine to kill him like that?”

“It’s fine. We want him to die anyway. Victoria. Transform into sniper rifle. The last guy is quite far away, but I want to take him down first. Hopefully, they are not prepared to cast their Wind Wall to block the bullets.”

After transforming, I put around twenty small rocks inside the rifle, and start compressing air to shoot the stalkers. Then I put the rifle on the carriage, beside Luiz’s corpse. I also used my other hand to grab the spearhead in my pocket.

I stopped the horse carriage, and they are still closing in and stopped when they see me within their range of attack. Instead of taking me out already, they might be waiting for order.

I stepped down from the carriage and pretend to prepare for Luiz’s execution. But he’s already dead though. I just do it so I can find their leader.

And it was indeed the man behind them who is the leader. He seems to have given the order to kill me as the other seven prepared to cast their magic. But they are too late.

As soon as I realized he is the leader, I grabbed the rifle beside Luiz’s dead body and shoot him. After shooting him, with my spearhead, I cut off Luiz’s neck cleanly and grabbed the Magic Restriction Collar from him. I’m thinking of putting it on the stalkers’ leader’s neck.

The leader got shot down and no one can react immediately to that. None of them think that they are the one being hunted. And that’s my chance to kill them all.

I quickly compressed the air inside the rifle again and shoot the other stalkers one by one while moving toward their leader. I got six of them, but the last one, one of the two women, managed to react quickly to dodge my bullet. It only left a scratch on her face.

Luckily, she is not one of the flying ones. So even if she runs, I can catch up to her. I just go to where their leader is.

The other six, I killed them with a bullet through their heads. As for their leader, he is still alive because I aimed at his stomach. And I put the collar on him so he won’t be able to use magic anymore.

“Wait here while I kill that woman. Though she might have killed herself before I killed her.”

“Huff... so you know about the explosives in our mouth? Who are you?” The man asked.

“A clown.”

After replying, I chased after the escaping woman. When I managed to get close to her, she prepared to cast an attack magic on me.

“Hey! Fighting a losing battle, why won’t you just blow your own head!?” I provoked her.

She then stopped her magic and smiled at me.

“Good idea. Everything, is for the True God!”

And boom. She blows her own head. Why would she run when after that she would kill herself? Maybe it was ingrained into their brain to make sure that one of their members have to report immediately to the higher ups in case their leader is unable to do that. But since she can’t escape from me, she killed herself.

I ignored her dead body. It can be used to feed the monsters as well like Luiz’s corpse, and the other stalkers’ corpses.

I returned to where the man I tried to capture is and see that he is putting his finger on the hole on his stomach. Is he trying to kill himself that way since he can’t use magic?

This guy is much more dedicated to the cult that he doesn’t care about the pain at all. Unlike the prisoners I caught. Or maybe it’s because the wound is not on his crotch?

Seeing him like that makes me think that it’s impossible to get some answers from him. I guess I’ll let him die.

“Here. I’ll lend you my knife if you want to kill yourself. I can’t just take off the collar since you might try to attack me.”

I threw a knife next to him to which he grabbed it and without any hesitation, without saying anything, he stabbed his own heart with the knife.

He’s dead. All of the stalkers and also Luiz have died and they will become nourishment for the forest.

I guess it’s time to return. But before that, I need to spread these corpses around the city to make monsters return not just in one location. Such a pain in the ass.
