The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 699: Pretending to be One of Them

The second raid by the vampires is over. The damage caused this time is far less than before. It’s because fighting was only secondary. I just need someone to create commotion.

And they did it well. Even with less damage in the surrounding, I have received enough information. That the invasion at that level wasn’t enough to make the summoners retreat. It wasn’t even enough to make all the master level mages to make their move.

I meet up with Arin after I finished my investigation for the day. She has returned to her former castle.

“Good job, Arin. How is it?” I asked.

“There were no problem at all. Most of them are weak, but once the strong ones appear, we retreated. We have no casualties. Rather, we managed to free some of our kin who were captured, and some other monsters by killing some of the tamers.”

Seems like there were no problem with the raid at all. That’s good.

The vampires are happy that they captured more humans. Those humans are the men who have been charmed by Arin.

.....

I’ll just left one or two of them here and took the rest, along with Arin’s group, back to Tatrama. Though I don’t think that these people have any information other than what we already know. But I’ll let Albert do it.

I returned to Albert’s place with portal, and told him everything I learned from today.

“So they won’t make a move if they know that the attack was at that level and they can handle it with just a few master level mages. And it seems like there are more master level mages than we expected to be in that place. That’s good to hear,” Albert said.

“Yeah. But that’s just in the base. You know that the base was created so the cult can have it easier to hunt monsters to be tamed, right? We still don’t know if there are master level mages roaming around in Monsters World. Maybe one of them would even reach Monsters Village anytime soon. But at least if we destroyed the base, those roaming master level mages won’t have a way to return,” I said.

“Yeah. But we will still be careful. Once you get to destroy that base, make sure to left behind some people there to keep guard. I’m sure when the summoner who brings supplies came, they will try to retreat as soon as possible. I don’t think this is a mission that can be done stealthily. Maybe we will even fail right away because someone unexpected is also a summoner,” Albert said.

He’s right. I can’t just focus on the three summoners. Maybe even the master level mage near them is a summoner as well. If that’s the case, then the cult will be reported right away. And they don’t need to wait the next day to get the report about the base’s destruction.

“I will prepare a lot of Blobbies then. Once I see anyone opened a portal, I will throw those Blobbies or shoot them with Victorifle into the portal so I can open a portal to wherever they are moving to. When should we prepare to move?” I asked.

“That is a good plan. I think it’s best to move in two weeks time. Right after they transport people to and from Earth. Once they close the portal, that will be when you make your action. Can you do it? You said that you’re going to ask someone to destroy the whole base,” Albert asked.

That’s right. I won’t destroy the base on my own. I will capture the summoners and probably some master level mages as well if possible, and then that someone will destroy the base. I need to move fast so I won’t get caught in the attack.

“If it’s him, he can. Anyway, that’s all I got. I need to go back there again. I can’t repeat saying that I have just returned from hunting on my own every time. Especially right after a raid by the vampires,” I said.

“Alright. Good luck.”

I return back to that world and stayed at a different inn from before. Because all the staffs at that inn already know my face.

I also checked that inn and see that all of the staffs are shaking in fear even though the raid was over a few hours ago. If I return there again, they will surely ask me to bring them back to Earth.

Not now. I need the spy to contact all the girls there first. I need to figure a way to do everything quickly in this two weeks.

I need to be able to open a portal to get those girls escape, and then quickly capture all the summoners, before I can escape from this base or I will get caught up in the attack.

Maybe the master level mages will survive the attack. But as long as all the summoners have been captured or killed, I don’t think there will be any big problem.

Though in the end, the result can’t be hidden. Whether the result is a good one or a bad one, the cult will know about it in the end. And if they find me, one human, infiltrating their base in Monsters World, they will think that there’s nothing that they can do but we can’t do.

If that happens, the only thing left is for them to directly destroy us instead of doing what they did in hiding. And we can’t have that. We are still far too weak. Only a few of us can defeat master level mages. We need more time until an all-out war can happen.

That’s why I want to defeat their Evil God as soon as possible. Possibly, without the help of anyone. But he’s so good in hiding.

I stayed at the inn but I didn’t sleep at all. Sleeping in the middle of the enemy’s turf is something that I shouldn’t do. At least until I know someone I can trust. The sourcᴇ of this content is ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The next day, everyone returned back to normal. Seems like even though there are a few deaths, everyone is still doing their job normally. Though most of them are leaving the city to hunt monsters to tame.

The girls who we left behind were scared. They are without any means of protection at all. And some of the girls even enter my room fully naked last night just to get me to protect them.

...I didn’t do anything to them. I just said that I’m tired because of the raid and going to sleep, and they can sleep at the same bed if they want to.

They thought that they can’t gain my favor so they left. And in the morning, before I leave the inn, they approached me again. Still, I won’t do anything to them.

For now, I’ll pretend that I’m just another individual who seeks wealth here. I’ll try to enter a party with a tamer to get money.

I found someone whose party members died last night. And we teamed up and left the base along with two other people we just met.

“Am I the only tamer here?” the tamer asked.

“I’m a fire mage and he’s an earth mage. We’re both just advanced level mages,” the two mages we met introduced themselves.

“I’m just an advanced level wind mage,” I said.

With my air magic, and also a slight help from Airy, I can introduce myself as a wind mage. I can’t just tell them that I’m an air mage and a summoner.

“I think this is enough. So, what’s our goal?” the tamer asked.

“How long will we go? I think even with those raid with the vampires, staying outside and inside the city are both dangerous. But I prefer to stay inside the city. So I want it to be done in the evening at least. I don’t want to stay overnight if possible,” I said.

“I agree. Let’s tame a lot of monsters and return by evening. Is that okay?” the tamer asked.

The two other mages agreed so we will return by evening.

“You three just wait for me at the gate. I will use tamer gate and bring out my beast. It’s a bull that can be used to pull carriage so we won’t get tired by the journey,” the tamer said. And then he left as we received the black coins from the gatekeeper and waited for the tamer.

We don’t talk to each other at all. And this is normal in this place. Everyone for themselves. No need to make friend with other people.

The tamer returned with a bull pulling a carriage. And as we enter the carriage, he asked our destination.

“Where should we go? Most of the monsters nearby have been tamed. And we can’t go too far if we want to returns,” the tamer asked.

“Don’t worry about it. The smell of the blood after last night should gather the attention of other monsters. They will be attracted to the city and there should be some of them within the vicinity,” the earth mage said.

“Then let’s go that way. A few days ago, I found some monsters with my former teammate over there. They are weak against fire. Though we retreated before the stronger monsters attack us. If we go there, we might need to go all out,” the fire mage said.

“Then let’s go there. Since he’s a wind mage, he can make your fire bigger. It should be easier even if we face stronger monster, right?” the tamer said as he looks at me.

“If it’s just making fire bigger, that’s easy. Let’s go,” I said.

With this, a group of four stranger left the base to look for monsters.

I can kill them all easily right away. But I’ll just pretend that I’m one of them for now.
