The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 36 - Killing My Murderer

Let's see. He's still far away. And he can't see us because there's forest between us. We're hidden behind the trees and bushes. His level… I don't know. But let's just imagine that he's at least an expert. He seems older than me but in thirty years, he's still well despite his old age.

He's alone. I can't see anyone with him. He's not even having his monster with him. I checked below the ground and above the sky just to check, and there's no monsters I can see. At least none of the monsters I see within my sight are not his summoned monsters.

There are still some monsters like goblins and wolves, but none of them are close to him. Maybe he unsummon his monster back to the monsters world. Or he's giving an order to his monster. Whatever the case may be, he's all alone in the forest.

I don't know about his other elements, but let's think of it as if he's an Expert level in all of his elements. Not that I will give him a chance to show it.

This is the first time I used Divine Vision for its real purpose. Decision-making. I saw the scarred palm alone and decided to kill him. If it's not for this special ability, I would have never known that he's around.

Now it's about my plan. How do I make it as if he was killed by a monster? It's all depend on how well Blobby can disguise herself into another type of monster. One which almost no one ever has seen it. A dragon!

But even if I transformed her, Blobby can't put her strength into killing the scarred-palm guy. Which mean I have to be creative.

"Blobby, turn into a huge scissor, but the blade is shaped like a dragon's head with sharp fangs."

Blobby did as I ordered. And now she's changed into a dragon's head scissor.

"Is that how a dragon look like?"

Angela asked me curiously while Kayla touching the head of the dragon.

"I don't know. Never saw any in both lifetime. But at least this is what people imagine what a dragon's head looked like. And that's enough to make it seems like a dragon killed him."

"What about the surrounding area?"

"Yeah, I need to make it looked like the dragon caused ruckus in that area so I'll take care of it later. Now stay here and wait for me."

I left the girls and went to a place where the goblins are. Not directly to the guy.

I stopped somewhere where the goblins won't notice me and picked up a rock. I need to know the distance where the guy can notice a presence, so I'll turn the goblins as my bait. The goblins are about 50 meters from the guy but it was surrounded with trees and make it difficult for him to see the goblins.

I threw a stone five meters from the goblins, in the direction between the goblins and the guy. The goblins heard something and went to check what it is that they heard. But the guy seems to not notice yet. If I just throw a stone to his direction, he might be suspicious of the surrounding because he won't see anything moves, that's why I choose the goblins.

There are only three goblins but that's more than enough. I keep throwing stones between the goblins and the guy. The goblins followed the sound and getting closer to the guy. Then when the distance is about 20 meters, I throw a stone and the guy noticed it!

He looked at the source of the sound and he saw three goblins coming out. He calmly casted three fireball one by one. From what I can see, it took him at least one second to activate his magic. From the chanting until the fireball shot out. And the size of the fireball tells me how strong he is. He's at least an Advanced level mage in fire magic. But he's still has his summon. At least he's not calling his summon here.

After watching how he defeat the three goblins, I moved place to where he's going and wait there. I will wait while hiding from him and will attack when he got closer to me. I was hiding in the bushes and will attack when he's twenty meters from me. I'll try using my Aura on my feet so I have explosive power for my speed so I can reach him in one second. And I hid my breath by using Air magic inside my mouth. If possible I want to activate this magic directly to my lung one day.

He walked closer to my hiding spot and soon he will be within my range. It might take longer than one second, but he might not be able to react that fast if I attack him. I prepared Dragon Head Scissor Blobby and crouched to have a crouching start before I jumped to the Scarred Palm guy.

25 meters… 24 meters… 23 meters… 22 meters… 21 meters… and…

NOW!

The explosive power of my feet reached a speed I have never used before. My reaction speed became slower because of the speed I'm using, but that's still fine.

The sound of me kicking the ground was so loud and the guy I'm aiming for was surprised by the sound. He looked my way but paused for a tenth of a second.

That's obvious!

Normally, he must have tried to attack me as soon as he heard the sound. That's what an experienced mage would do. But when he looked at me, he must be really shocked to see a dragon head with a pair of human leg wearing pants. That's because I'm using the dragon head to hide my face. But it was thanks to that tenth of a second that I'm able to kill him.

Although he was surprised, he's still trying to use his magic. But my speed was so fast that I can use the dragon head to bite his head and separate it from his body. If I was just a tenth of a second late, his magic would have killed me first. As expected. The strongest element is element of surprise!

Now the headless corpse in front of me has a clear bite mark on it. And his head… is unrecognizable after I used Blobby to chew it hard in its dragon's mouth. The blood? I'll just pour it back to its body.

Now that he's dead, I have to make it clear that no one will suspect me. Especially the Evil God Cult. If I just leave it as it is, someone from the cult will try to replace him. Even if they don't suspect me, they will be suspicious of what creature bit his head off. But if I made it clear that a dragon was here, they will be busy with the nonexistent dragon.

I know how much they love mutated monsters. That's why they will never ignore it if there's a rumor going on about a dragon. They will try to hunt it and make it their servant no matter what it takes. I know that they love to control monsters, but I don't know how they did it. But I know for sure that they did some kind of experiment to either monster or human. Maybe it's related to how this guy got the scar on his palm.

To check what's inside that scar, I used Divine Vision and I see some kind of blue stone. That's a familiar stone I've seen from my previous live. I don't know what it's called and the effect of that stone, but I saw some of their members have these kind of stones in their hands when we were fighting. Is this a stone that help you in controlling a monster even if they are not contracted monster? It's possible.

So, if the attack on Melk still happen, I will need to take care of people with this kind of stones. Maybe I should look around the city if they put these type of stone somewhere visible.

Wait!

Now that I think about it, the three goblins before didn't try to attack him! They're just watching him and not moving at all. Maybe rather than controlling, it was so that the owner of the stone won't be attacked by monsters.

So they keep such important stones for themselves and used it for evil instead. It's just a speculation but still, if what I think is true, then the cult will be busy looking for the nonexistent dragon. They will replace out why the stone has no effect on the dragon. Or maybe they think that there's a summoner who contracted with a dragon and used it to kill the scarred palm guy.

Well, even if they're busy, they will undoubtedly still attack cities. But maybe with this, their attack will be delayed and by that time, Angela, Kayla, and the others will be much stronger and well prepared for the attack. Though I haven't told them about the attack yet. I will tell them when we return back to Mellian. For now it's time for the dragon to fly.

I transformed Blobby into a dragon. Not just the head, but the whole body. Although it might be difficult for her to fly, I can just throw her as strong as I can to the sky and let her glide to somewhere safe. I need to throw her as high as possible so many people can see her. Then Blobby can change into a bigger dragon and glide somewhere until I summoned her back to me.

But that's not everything. I threw her already but the most important part is not there yet. The dragon's roar. I used Air magic to change the air so my voice is changed and I…

"ROOOOOOAAAAAAAR!!!!"

Although it's not that loud, it's still important to roar. I hope it will reach someone.

Now, let's return to the girls!
