The Only Aura User In Magic World -
Chapter 386 - Searching For The Angels
The day after we see the amazing plant magic, I returned to Monsters World. I see that the forest has grown more than yesterday.
I also saw Lina and Sunny here. They come here early in the morning.
"Lina, how is it?" I asked.
"The forest is completed. Now, the elves are building their homes above the trees. The werewolves are watching with interest," Lina said.
"Is there any conflict between the elves and the werewolves?" I asked again.
"I don't think there's any. But if you want to know more, you can ask Tia or Shelia," Lina replied.
The elf and werewolf that Lina mentioned are discussing something along with Red who is listening. The three of them are deep in thought.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"King. It's like this, the elves are here because they want protection. But I don't think that it's fair for them to not give us anything. That's why we're discussing about what they can give us. We are too different after all," Red said.
"What about vegetables? You werewolves have started eating fruits and vegetables, right? Not just meat?" I asked.
"…"
Red didn't answer.
"…don't tell me that you only eat them whenever I bring some with me?" I asked.
"I guess that's settled. In exchange for fruits and vegetables, preferably sweet ones, we will protect the elves," Red said.
Eat your veggies!
Well, they are supposed to be carnivores after all. They are part wolf.
It was me who introduced them to vegetables. They are all cooked and seasoned, so they taste better. Maybe I should ask Lina to teach some of the monsters here to cook.
But I think sweet fruits suit their tastes
Since the exchange is done, I bid my farewell as I ride on Spot's back to the sky.
"So, where are we going?" I asked Spot who knows the direction.
"To the sky," Spot replied.
"Yeah, I can tell that we're flying. But which part of the sky?"
As we are in the sky, far higher than the ground, I can't even see the ground with my Divine Vision. So, there's no landmark that can tell me where we are. Or since we're in the sky, it should be called skymark?
Clouds are moving and changing, so they can't be used as a mark. And so is the sun.
Maybe the easiest way to tell is to drop from here to the ground, and go up vertically.
"The place where the angels reside is called Angels' Sanctuary. It's some kind of civilization above the sky. They have no land, but they can stay in a certain cloud that even we can walk on. It's a rare cloud that only exist in this world. At least I haven't found any cloud I can ride in your world," Spot explained.
"Wait, if it's a cloud, then it should be moving, right? It won't stay in one spot?" I asked.
"Most likely. That's why I only fly to where I found it previously. After that, we need luck to replace it again," Spot said calmly.
So, it won't stay in the same spot. I thought that we can finish it in one day, but I guess I still underestimate the weird things in Monsters World.
"Well, we can take our time for now. We still have few months left before the tournament begins," I said.
"You won't participate in the tournament? What a shame…" Spot said.
"I'll be busy cleaning up the cult. They will attack at that time. Though I also don't want to participate anyway."
And after the tournament… there's a high possibility that the archbishop and the one they call as their god will act. And the real war will most likely happen since I have busted most of their plans without them knowing that it's my fault.
Maybe we shouldn't have introduced the tournament this soon when our strongest trump cards are the four expert level mages we have. Celestine the earth element mage, Veronica the wind element mage, Julia the fire element mage, and Carmen the water element mage. Only those four are expert level mages.
But at least we have knowledge from the future. If we wait longer, someone who have discovered those knowledges in my previous life, might have spread those knowledges to the cult and they will be stronger than they are now.
Even now, some of us who are still advanced level mages, are capable of defeating several expert level mages.
If they have the same knowledges, our advantages will be gone. It's best to destroy them before they know about such knowledges and become stronger.
It has been several hours since we start taking off, but we haven't found any clues of where the Sanctuary is. And there's no Angels on sight at all. Though we have to defeat several flying monsters, but they are not a problem to us.
During that time, I used my Divine Vision the whole time. And it's been over ten hours, so my eyes are tired.
"Spot, let's descend here and mark the ground. We'll go again next time. I don't think my eyes can take it anymore. I need some rest," I said.
If I move my body for hours, I still don't need rest and can still move well. But this is the first time I used Divine Vision for so long. I just realized again the weakness of Divine Vision. It took too much of my concentration. Although my body is still fine, my mind is tired from seeing too much information.
"Okay. I'll replace a good landmark for you to mark with Victoria's clone. We will continue our search next time," Spot said.
After that, Spot is descending vertically with his head facing the ground. I'm fine since I can use Aura to stick my feet to Spot's body so I won't fall. Good thing I'm alone. Victoria doesn't count as she's stuck on to me.
I'd like to go home right away, but I never thought that the ground down there to be filled with monsters. Insect type monsters. And a lot of them!
"So… should we replace a better spot, or defeat those monsters first and mark this place to return here next time? I might need to take a day rest," I asked Spot.
"I'll just defeat them with my breath," Spot said.
And then, Spot stopped descending and took a deep breath. He then used his non-elemental magic breath to destroy the… not just the monsters, but the landmark as well.
…at least we have a clear landmark here now.
...…..
Somewhere in human world, in a certain laboratory, someone from the higher ups of the cult, the researcher, received a surprising report from one of his subordinates.
This event happened few months ago
"…is this real? The Black Slime's summoner is still alive? And he discovered a way to fight using air element magic?" the researcher asked his subordinate.
"Yes. It was a report from someone who watched the final match. I heard of this when I reported about my job to the archbishop. Someone mentioned it to the archbishop about the tournament. Since you mentioned about this Black Slime summoner before, I thought that you might be interested in him," the subordinate said.
The researcher was the one who got himself infected by a clone of a Black Slime, and become unable to get tired, or need to consume water or food anymore.
"I see, I see… he's interesting. If he could survive the stampede, and become acquainted with the strongest mages in that stupid tournament, he might be something. Since he's still alive, that means he still have the Black Slime with him. Well, I don't care about those advanced level mages. Bring him to me. I will have him create as many clones as possible and creates my own immortal army!" the researcher said.
"Should we use force on him? Or do we need to ask him nicely?" the subordinate asked.
"Ask him nicely first. And promise him a good reward. He might be interested in the reward. Just tell him… that you will give him something really expensive and rare. Whatever it is, I don't care since we won't be giving it to him. If he refuses, you can take him by force. It should be easy. His air magic shouldn't be that powerful against you who have ascended to master level. In case you can't capture him, which should be impossible, just kill him. I just need the Black Slime," the researcher said.
"…am I really as strong as master level mage?"
"No. But compared to expert level mages, you are far stronger. With my research, I made you a master level mage artificially. You can't grow stronger, but you should be stronger than those people. Even if they have an expert level mage protecting him, you can kill them all easily! Go and bring the Black Slime to me! Once you do, you will become immortal as I am!"
The subordinate then left the lab.
Just as the researcher said, the subordinate is a master level mage. But it was made artificially through research and experiment.
And that one subordinate is the only one who was a successful experiment. The researcher made that experiment as his subordinate. He used brainwashing magic to make that experiment loyal to him.
And with that, danger is approaching Roy.. He doesn't know that just by taking a break for one day in their search will turns out into him meeting his strongest opponent so far.
