Chapter 496: I’m the Drillman!
Even though the enemy outnumber us, they are not organized enough to defend against us. That’s why the battle is supposed to be easy.
But I was wrong.
There are many people who are criminals, and they are easy to kill. But among the cult members, there are some group of expert level mages, who have extraordinary coordination. And they are giving a lot of trouble to the werewolves. I need to back them up quickly, but I’m still busy since I’m right in the middle of the enemies. I can only have faith with the others.
“This... don’t tell me, you’re an Aura user!?”
What!? Someone noticed that I’m an Aura user?
“What is it? What is Aura user?” Another person asked.
You don’t need to know. We’re in the middle of a battle, and you need to die since you know that I’m an Aura user.

...from the look of it, he’s a fanboy. As a reward, I will kill him using Aura.
I too, called it Aura at first because of the story I read in the past. I guess it’s normal for those who read the same story to call me Aura user when they see me fighting with weapon.
Hmm... In the future, any enemy who has seen me fight must be killed. Good thing I did well so far. And I will continue doing so. It’s so that they won’t be able to give report about me being an Aura user.
Still, he was quite loud. There are a lot of people here who heard him shouting that I’m an Aura user. I should have locked the air around him so his voice won’t be heard after he first noticed that I’m an Aura user.
I ignore everyone, and use Blobbykatana to kill him and the enemies nearby. And I also didn’t forget to watch other people’s reaction when they heard that I’m an Aura user. If by any chance, some of them have high authority and knows that the Evil God had a beef with Aura users, and he somehow managed to report back to the cult about me, I will be in danger. Not just me. Everyone I know will also be in danger. I can’t have that.
I was right. Some of the cult members nearby have some reaction when they heard that I’m an Aura user, and they tried to escape as fast as possible. Unlike other cult members I faced in the past, these guys choose to escape without hesitation.
Usually, the cult members whom I fight will only escape after fighting a bit longer. Until they realize that I’m too strong for them. Which is different for these guys who escaped as soon as possible.
But the fact that they didn’t know that I’m an Aura user right away, means that they had never read the same fairy tale that I and the shouting guy read. I guess it wasn’t a popular story.
Let’s see... four people escaping. Two men, and two women. None of them are wind mage, so the werewolves should be enough to catch up with them. But I need to be sure, so I have to be the one killing them myself. Only their deaths can calm me down. Also calming gas as well. That thing is too effective.
Alright, let’s take killing those four as my main objective tonight. None of them are very fast, so they should be easy to kill. And while chasing them, I can kill those in the way as well.
Oh, other people started to use wind magic to fly. But they are easily stopped by Angela, Shirley, and Veronica. Wendy who is also an expert level in her wind element, is staying on the ground to fight instead. But I won’t care for them for now. My main objective at the moment is those four.
Previously, I said that I can’t use Blobbybullets. But as long as the bullets aren’t made of Blobbies, it should be fine to shoot the enemies.
And so, I grabbed some stones on the ground, and use them as bullets. The sizes are different, but I can just adjust the shape of the gun.
And to make the chase easier, I take my first two shots at the two who run the fastest. The two men. And they got hit.
One got hit on the back and made a hole through his heart and killing him. The other got hit in his thigh. He falls on the ground, and one of the two escaping women stomped on him while they running away.
I chased the women, while stabbing the man on the ground with Reizpear I have retrieved back. Killing him instantly.
When I was about to shoot at the two women, they ran even faster while using earth magic to protect themselves. I guess the reason they are running behind the men is not because they are slow. But because they can protect everyone with their magic. But they were too late as they didn’t expect that I will shoot them. I should have killed the women first.
The women raised Earth Wall while escaping. But they are not strengthened since they didn’t focus on the magic. They are only focusing on escaping. So. even if it’s a magic from two expert level mages, I can just breakthrough the wall easily by slamming my shoulder on the wall.
And as I broke through the wall, the two disappear!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWell, not really. They think that they are smart that they chose to escape through underground.
Well, they are smart indeed. None of them would have expected that I can see through objects. I have been following them with my eyes, so I know where they are. Still, they escaped underground while covering the hole they entered with magic. It will be difficult chasing after them.
But I continue chasing after them. They didn’t run deep enough. Just about two meters under the ground. And since I don’t want them to notice me following them by the vibration on the ground, I used Air Steps to run on air. Just one meter above the ground. It should be enough to trick them to think that I stopped chasing after them.
By this time, We’re already away from the center of the cult’s hideout. Well, I can leave everything to the others. I will continue chasing these two.
Now, how do I kill people hiding underground? My attack is powerful enough to reach there, but the enemy is still expert level mages. Once my attack hit the ground, they would notice me attacking and use magic to stop me.
But I can’t just stop here and let them escape. So, I used Blobbies and transform them to a drill. As huge as possible, with the amount of Blobbies I have in hand. The result, it became a drill big enough for me to enter the hole I made with it.
The two women seems to keep moving in a straight line, so I run faster ahead of them. And when I was about several meters ahead of them, I moved and drilled through the ground by spinning the Blobbydrill in my hand. The two women were shocked that they suddenly sensed me again.
By the time they stopped running, my drill is right in front of them. I changed the drill trajectory toward the women, and running toward them. With the drill spinning this fast, just one hit and they would die.
In this situation, one of the women grabbed the other and threw her toward the drill as she escaped even deeper underground. As expected, the cult is cruel toward themselves. Well, no mercy to them. So, I just drilled through the woman that was used as a shield, and then I continue chasing after the other woman.
This is a story of how a woman is screaming while being chased by a man with a drill underground, which is totally weird even for a horror story. But this is not a horror story. The woman is indeed being chased by a drill. And I’m the man with the drill. I’m the Drillman!
As she’s shouting underground, there’s no way her voice could be heard by someone above. I ignored her scream as I continue chasing after the woman. Somehow, it ended quite ridiculous as the woman died easily. She could have used earth magic as we’re underground, but she didn’t do it. She has all the advantage to kill me, but she was too scared.
Sigh... if only Victoria is here, she could have said something interesting.
I guess it’s fine as long as the job is done. Let’s go back to the cult’s hideout again, and kill the rest of the enemies. The group with excellent coordination is still there. Even with the werewolves’ regeneration skill, they are still in trouble. I will go help them first.
