The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 35 - Chance Encounter

"So if I can travel to and from that world, I can build my own safe haven, right? Victoria? Victoria?"

Victoria suddenly turned back into a black blob. Looks like she has passed the limit of her consciousness. Now she's Blobby and I can meet Victoria again tomorrow.

"You want to build a safe place in a world filled with monsters? There's a chance that world is worse than ours, you know?"

Angela remind me of the truth. That's right. Even if that place is where Victoria comes from, there's a chance that there are many other unbelievable monster like the immortal slime Blobby.

"It's just a thought. I'll think about it when I raised my Summoning level. That's when I will go to that world and search for another strong monster. Maybe I will make a contract with a monster that already has a house. That way I can just visit it every day."

"What? Like a dragon that build a nest in that world or something?"

"If possible I want a humanoid monster with intellect. Then it can be the leader of its species and I can have my own army of monster! But I have to see whether I can transport non-contracted monsters first. If I could, that would be great."

"It doesn't has to be a humanoid one, right? So why a humanoid monster?"

"So they can blend in well in this world! That way I could have the biggest information network in the world!"

"Why not biggest army to defeat that evil organization?"

"Like usual, my first priority is running away and survive. That's why information is the most important thing."

I talked about what I want to do about the next monster I will summon. But that's still in the future.

"You just got yourself a girlfriend yesterday and instead of having a chat with her you're thinking of getting another monster in the future. Say something to your girlfriend!"

I turned to look at Kayla who has been watching us from beginning.

"What do you think, Ms. Girlfriend?"

"I don't care that much about how we should act from now on. What about you Mr. Boyfriend?"

"Me? Knowing the future is a scary thing for me. So, however I act, most of the time, it was in order to defeat that evil organization. I already thought of you as important to me even before we become lover. That include you too, Angela. But for me to date like a normal person is impossible when I think of the future. Even if I do it will just end up as an act. Not my real feeling. I think that will be rude toward my partner if I do that."

"And you don't think it's rude to go out with Kayla?"

"Nope. Not at all." "Not in the slightest."

We both answered Angela at the same time.

"You confessed after you know what I want to do. You must have thought about it seriously, right?"

I turned to Kayla this time.

"Obviously. With me around you, I think before you choose to run away if something happen, you will consider saving those around you and those important to you first. Even though it was by chance, I'm still the first person you saved in this timeline, right? After all if you're not around, I would have died by the goblins back then. Which mean I'm the proof that you can also save those around you. But please save yourself first in case it's impossible to save others."

"As you wish, my dear."

Angela looks shocked hearing our conversation.

"…sorry. I never thought that you two have thought about it seriously. I thought that both of you just dating on a whim."

"Don't worry about it. With my personality, I know it's difficult for other to trust me."

"And I learn everything from this guy."

"Maybe it's me who really have to think about it seriously. I can't continue to imagine about charming prince forever."

With this conversation, the relationship between the three of us gotten closer and closer. So I thought of telling them about the attack in Melk in few months if it will happen again.

"Hey. Now I have cleared my mind, I thought of telling you that there will be an att…"

I stopped my word because I saw someone I didn't expect with my Divine Vision. My presence detection skill by using Aura hasn't sense anything yet, but my Divine Vision is able to see someone from far away.

It was the scarred palm guy. The one whose summoned monster killed me and also the man who was there at the entrance of the cave. Where I killed all their new recruits by disguising the scene as if it was done by the monsters there. Why would he be in this area?

What should I do now? If we continue like this we will inevitably meet midway. No matter how much confidence I have in my acting skill, I don't think I can act normal in front of the man who's responsible for my second chance.

Then the only choice is to kill him. I also have chosen how I want to live my life this time. And by killing him, there's a chance that I can save many unknown people from him. But that doesn't matter. The truth is I'm hesitating because if I kill him, the future I know will disappear. Not all of them, but most of them. Maybe the one where monsters will attack Melk in a few month is one of them.

But this may be my only chance to kill him. So what if the future changed? The biggest fact where Evil God Cult is exist won't change. I can just teach those important to me to grow stronger. That way we can prevent more tragedies. And even if the attack in Melk still happen, we can fight back. Or at least survive.

Then there's no more hesitation. Killing him right now is the answer!

Now, the plan!

"Angela. Kayla. We might need to return to Mellian again."

"Why?"

"There's a man I have to kill in front of us and I want to make it as if it's a monster that killed him. A strong one. We will then return to Mellian because it's the closest place here and report to the guild about the monster and the fact that it killed someone. We might need to run as fast as we can so we can reach Mellian as soon as possible. If possible I want to reach before dark, but it might be weird if we arrived that soon from here. Maybe we should take the main road so we can ask for a ride to the city."

"That's too much effort for just killing a man. Who is he?"

"I don't know what his name is, but he's the one responsible in my death."

"He is your murderer? Then is this a revenge?"

"For me, I thought of killing people I know that they are members of the cult. And he's most likely one of their higher rank members since I saw people telling him about the situation back in the cave about the death of their new recruits. I don't know if he's currently a high rank member or not, but at least in the future, he is. His monster is a mutated one. Either forced by experiment or happen naturally. But that monster is strong enough to kill me who had just awaken Aura."

"Won't that mean the future in this timeline will be different? Then you can't trust everything from your previous live. This might be a big change from your previous live just by killing that man."

"I think so too. But whatever will be, will be. I have decided how to live this life. And most things I know are around the time before I died then. Most of the knowledge I have are useless since the cult only affect me directly a few times."

"So you want to kill everyone from the cult that you know of? Won't that be difficult?"

"I don't think I will kill everyone yet. After all most of their members that I know were younger than me at the time. Which means most of them are still kids right now or maybe not even born yet. If I meet kids who I know that they will be members of the cult, I'll check first if they have connection with the cult at the moment first. If they don't, I'll try to educate them so they won't stray."

"You mean like what you did to Daniel? Now that I think about it, is Daniel someone you know in the future?"

"What?! You think Daniel will be a member of that evil organization? Never!"

"But he's a naïve kid. If you never appear in front of him, who knows if someone will approach him with bad intention or not?"

"He's in a safe place right now surrounded with good people. He won't stray from the right path!"

Now that Angela mentioned it, I think what she said might be true. Daniel might ended up becoming a member if he never met me.

That's enough about Daniel. For now, I'll take care of the scarred palm guy first.
