The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 152 - The Bell Has Rung

Early in the morning, I already awake even though I usually overslept. Although it was still four in the morning, everyone also has already wake up. And seeing the breakfast has been served, Lina and few others must be awake even earlier.

I can see determination in everyone's eyes. And I also determinedly eating the breakfast until there's nothing left.

"Don't eat everything. So that we can have some food to share with refugee later."

Thanks to Sophie's reminder, I stopped eating after a while.

"Alright! Everyone already knows their own mission, right? Then do your best! Everyone, to your position!" Ms. Wendy gave the order.

"It's still too early. If all of us leave the hotel now, it will only raise suspicion. At least wait until the sun rise." I said.

Although I said that, there are few people who already left the hotel.

"So, what else did Veronica says about the stampede?" Angela asked

"Seems like the cult are luring some powerful monsters nearby because we have subjugated too many monsters. I think some of the monsters will be controlled directly by some members of the cult." I said as I remembered how they can control monster.

Whatever kind of experiments and research that they done, the monsters' controlling experiment is a success. And seems like they don't need a tamer or summoner to control those monsters.

Veronica said that the Orc Emperor should be one of the experiment that escaped. She heard about it as soon as she arrived in this city back then. That Orc Emperor should be one that the cult raised to be their own, but somehow it become too strong and left. Which mean the people that the cult will be alert most would be us. The hunters who are involved in the subjugation of the Orc Emperor. And knowing that Kron is here, they should be targeting him first. As for us, because of our low level, they shouldn't think that we're a problem at all. Especially since the guy who witnessed me killing the Orc Emperor committed suicide.

In any case, thanks to my intervention, the monsters during this stampede will be stronger than the monsters in my previous life.

The plan today is quite simple. Kron will leave as soon as the gate is open, and after a while he will return telling the guild that stampede is happening. Telling everyone that monsters are getting closer and closer.

Lina will stay in the hotel as it's also an evacuation center. As for other girls, Kayla, Angela, Sophie, and Shirley, they will join the hunters.

There will be panic among the citizens. It was because this city has never experienced stampede in the past. And most likely, some cult members will try to rile the people up. Saying we're doomed or something.

Then Hill's people will try to calm the people down and evacuate them. They are already experienced stampede in Mellian, so they should be capable of doing so.

The agents will help defeat monsters and evacuate people, but their main mission should be to bring down the governor. Candy and Ms. Wendy both will confront the expert level mage. With Candy wearing Sophie's fishnet stocking under her pants, I think the expert level fire magic won't do any damage to her. But we don't know if he has other element that has reached expert level, or if there's another expert level mage in the cult.

As for me, I'll be hunting people from the cult hiding within the citizens with my partner, Victoria. I don't think there will be the higher ups of the cult still in this city other than the governor, so it should be easy replaceing people with HGB in their mouth.

Time pass by quickly and everyone has left to their own position.

"Roy, do you really think that there will be cult members who join the civilians in evacuation? What is the chance of them having a place to hide?" As I was about to leave the hotel as well, Victoria asked me about the chance of the cult members hiding during the stampede.

"I think it's probably zero. They are people who doesn't mind taking their own lives after all. They will probably try to increase the number of casualties by themselves. If we let them enter the evacuation center with other people, it might increase the number of casualties instead."

"I see… then how will you kill them?"

"With your help obviously. I will snipe them from afar so you need to transform into that rifle you're so proud about. I spent this morning sharpening rocks so it can pierce through their heads. As long as there's no barrier around them, they will 100% die."

"I thought you were told to capture them if possible?" Victoria asked curiously.

"Then I'll just say it's impossible. As soon as I cleared up those hiding cult members, I'll go help the others. I hope they will be fine." I said as I look at the girls' location with my Divine Vision.

"Don't worry about them. They are stronger than average mages. They can handle themselves. Magic wise, they are stronger than you." Victoria tried to comfort me.

"I will worry about them. If the plan failed, I'll go get everyone and escape no matter what."

Victoria didn't say anything to my words. I hope it means she agrees with me.

"Lina, we're going now!"

"Alright. Please return safely!"

I left the hotel and jumped on top of a building.

The stampede will happen soon, so before that happen, let's take care of the enemy that's moving alone.

Any one from the cult who doesn't walk in crowded area, will be killed. Like those who are still inside their houses, or inside their rooms at an inn.

I looked around for a bit and see one of the cult member inside a room at an inn. He's the only one in the room, so it's a perfect chance.

I grabbed Victoria who has transformed into a sniper rifle, loaded a sharp rock as a bullet, and compressing air inside the rifle. There's a scope on the rifle so I told Victoria to remove it. My eyes can already see far ahead even without using any tools.

I looked at the man in the room. He's getting dressed and put a hunter card in his pocket. Seems like he's a hunter. Probably one of the cult members who will create chaos in the guild.

I aimed at his head and make sure the compressed air is just enough to break the window and kill him. I can make the shot strong enough to pierce a wooden wall, but since he's right at the window, I won't do that.

After I had a good aim at his head, I shot the bullet out of the rifle and it pierced his head and the bullet is lodged right in his brain. He should be dead already, but to make sure, I used my vision to see his vital sign. His heart is no longer moving so I knew I took one down.

"Alright, let's go replace the next one." I said confidently.

"What about the inn employee who will see the body? Don't you feel sorry for him?" Victoria asked worriedly about.

"Don't worry. In fact, I might have saved his life. He'll be happy to know that when Shirley make a speech and told everyone about the cult. Then he will realize his guest is a member of the cult. That's why we need to make sure that our plan is going well." I said as I looked around for the next target.

"I think it's best if you move location. The sound of your shoot was loud enough to make people notice where you are. That's the rule of a sniper. Once your location was known, you have to go replace another place right away. I think it's better if you shot several people right away in one location."

"You should have said that sooner! Let's go!" I said as I left the roof of that building and go for another place.

Since there are already many people out and about in public, it will be a big problem if I killed them in public. I see some of them, but I ignored them for now.

If I need to kill them in public, I guess having a disguise is a better option. That mean Ninja is coming back!

The next one, I found four men in different location. And I choose a good spot where I can shoot them from.

In one breathe, I shoot the first one, compressing air again in my rifle then shoot the second one. The third one is the same, but the fourth one is smart. Once he heard the sound from my rifle from my first shot, he looks at my location and hide behind the wall.

I took a deep breathe, and compress air enough to pierce that wall. Then I shot the fourth one, and before any other people noticed me, I left that location. I think some people watched me jumping from building to building, but luckily I covered my face with a mask. No one will recognize me.

"So three is the max number for people I shoot in a row. More than that, and the enemy will notice me and might escape." I said to myself.

Then I found more cult members walking alone. I killed them all and escape after doing so.

As of now, I managed to kill twenty three of them.

And as I was about to go to the next spot, the bell that inform the citizens about the approaching danger is ringing loudly. I haven't seen any monsters within the range of my vision, but I see Kron in the guild trying to persuade the hunters. He makes the guild alert faster than I thought. I thought by the time he reports the guild, I can already see some of the monsters, but with this, the city will be able to prepare better against the stampede.
