The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 393 - Undoing The Brainwash

Mohawk is unable to move. Her body started crumbling. Her legs can no longer support her, and she's unable to use magic anymore.

"How did that happen?" Jewel asked.

"Most likely, it's because she used magic beyond what her body can handle. Since she was too powerful, she would usually only use magic once to defeat her opponents. But this time, not only she used two powerful lightning magic to attack. She also needed to maintain her barrier for a long time. Which is why her body can't handle the power inside her anymore. Not only she can no longer use magic, her body also started crumbling," Kayla assumed. It's amazing how she can think of that answer after just one look.

And Kayla is also trying to heal Mohawk. Not that we want Mohawk to stand up again and continue our fight. I deemed it to be impossible. We just want Kayla to delay her destruction so Albert can ask her questions, and Russell can try to release her from her brainwash.

"So that's what happen. I think you are right. In the end, being an artificial master level mage will never be as good as the real thing," Mohawk said.

"You can still talk? Then, I have some questions to ask you," Albert said.

"Hmm… I can't release her brainwashing yet. I think in this condition it's best to not release it," Russell said before Albert interrogate Mohawk.

"Mr. Russell, nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you from Roy and old man Henry. What do you mean by you can't?" Albert asked Russell.

"Well, part of the brainwashing is to make her not feel any pain. All kind of pain, no matter in which part of the body it is, the source of that pain comes from the brain. And she lost the feeling of pain in her brain through brainwashing. I can try to release the brainwashing but if I do, she will probably die from shock due to the pain before you ask her anything. It's best to ask her right away," Russell explained.

"You can undo the brainwash?"

Suddenly, Mohawk seems interested in something. Which is quite rare.

She was also interested in a few things during our fight, but I can see that her heart is beating faster knowing Russell can release her from the brainwash.

"I don't know. I can only try," Russell said.

"Then, I want you to do it. There are many things that I wish to remember, but the Professor lock those memories away. Those things still lingering in my mind even after all this time," Mohawk said.

"But you will die soon after."

"Not that it will change anything though. Even if you didn't release her from the brainwashing, she will still die from her body crumbling down like that. She will die anyway. But there are some questions that she needs to answer first before Russell tried to do it. If you answer it honestly, there might be a chance for him to release your brainwash before you die. Now, answer Albert's questions," I said to the mohawk girl while I'm still laying with my head rested on Sophie's lap.

I told her that so they can hurry with the interrogation. I'm tired, and I still need to return them back to their home later. I just close my eyes as I listen to Albert asking Mohawk questions, and Mohawk answering him.

Though, Celestine grabbed the camera strapped on my chest with Blobbies, as she pointed it toward Albert and Mohawk so the others who are still at their home watching the TV, will know what Albert is asking about.

We were glad that we can defeat the artificial master level mage despite the difference in strength. She is much stronger than us even though we outnumbered her. But if she gained her level not through experiment and through cultivation, then we have no chance in winning as she can fight back. Though I hope the real master level mage won't be as strong as her physically at least.

Well, even if they are not strong physically, it will still pose a problem for me to approach them.

Oh, Albert is asking Mohawk if she knows of anyone in the cult who is at least as strong as her, or maybe stronger. I'm curious as well. If there are many of them, it will be difficult for us to commence our plan during the tournament.

Though if the cult only decided to send their weaker members, we can commence our plan during the tournament. And what I meant by weaker members are those under master level mage. I can take care of several expert level mages at once now. But just one master level mage, that will be difficult.

Albert continues asking Mohawk about everything he wants to know, and some questions that I haven't asked her yet. I was just too focused in delaying instead of questioning her back then.

Though, even when everyone is relaxed now that the fight is over, there's one person who doesn't look well. It was Angela.

So, while everyone is focused on Albert and Mohawk, I called her over.

"Angela, what's wrong?" I asked.

"…she was too strong. I don't think I can defeat her. Can we really win against the cult now that the tournament is getting closer?" Angela asked.

I also want to know the answer. But I can't show her that we are weak. For Angela, she needs confidence that she can be stronger than anyone. I can't tell her that we can't win against the cult if they have many others master level mage.

I believe that once she reached expert level mage, she should be able to handle a master level mage. We need her to become stronger than anyone.

Since this is a serious talk, I raised my body and stand in front of her as I put my hand on her shoulder.

"We can. But we need your help. In the past few years since after returning to the past, I think I have spoiled everyone too much. After this, when I return to the Monsters World in search for the angels, I want you, and everyone else who is interested, to come visit the Monsters World as well. But I won't guide you this time. You will have to get stronger on your own. Find strong monster, enter dungeons, and desperately fight against an enemy that is stronger than you and win. You need experience. Are you still willing to get stronger?"

"…I will. If I don't, there will be more victims. Isn't that why you wanted to destroy the cult?" Angela asked.

"Not me. I don't think about other people. I started this because I was thinking of myself. I want to live in peace, so I thought of destroying the cult," I said.

"Well, whatever. I'm not that smart anyway, so I will think that you did it for the good of everyone instead," Angela said. I think her spirit has recovered now.

Not just Angela, I also want everyone to get experience. They also need to do it alone and not in group. They have been spoiled too much by spending times, even when exploring dungeons, with other people who are about as strong or stronger than they are. Which restrict their growth.

In this case, I think the one with the most experience in our clan is Kron.

Even now, he's still exploring the world to gain experience and get stronger.

I guess that's it. From now on, we will act separately until before the tournament. I just hope nothing serious happen during their journey to get stronger.

Albert has finally finished asking Mohawk questions, and it's time for Russell to try and undo the brainwashing put on her. But if he can do it, there's a high possibility that she will die from the pain of her body crumbling.

I guess it's my turn now.

"Kayla, keep healing her for a while longer. I will use pain relieving gas to make her not feeling much pain once her brainwashing is undone. Russell, do it now," I said.

Actually, I don't want to hear what she wants to know after her locked memories returned after she was released from the brainwash. But I have no choice since I'm the only air mage here and she might have some important information after the brainwashing is undone. I should have brought Sara here.

Mohawk's expression which was calm all the time, changed into a pained one. She can feel pain again now. And despite I'm using pain relieving magic, it's impossible that she can endure the pain of her body crumbling. And this is also the first time I've seen someone whose body crumbles.

"AAAAAARGHH!"

Mohawk screamed in pain. Even her scream is louder than Jewel's voice. It must be really painful.

"My-MY NAME IS JENA!"

Oh, wow! She remembers her name. Next must be her dying message. This is something that I experienced many times as a doctor with dying patient. And I always hate it. Which is why I'm reluctant to approach her now.

And obviously, like many other dying patients I had in my past life, her hand is reaching out to someone she can trust. In this case, it's me again. Why!?

"Please! My village! In the border between Arturo and Varadis! My first mission after the successful experiment is to kill everyone in my home village! Please, bury them all! The location of my village is not known by many, so none of them have been buried!"

Yeah, of course this happen. Jena will ask me to do something difficult. Though I am more powerful and more resourceful than my past life, so I can do it. But it's still a pain.

After telling me the location, she finally lets out her last breath.

"Father… I'm sorry that I killed you…" Jena said before she stopped moving.

"…at least we know that Russell can undo the brainwashing," I said casually.

"How can you say something like that after what you witnessed?" Julia asked

"I'm a doctor. Listening to patients' dying message is occupational hazard. Since old man is a doctor as well, I thought you are one," I said.

"She is one. But even though we are doctors, we never have to face dying patients since we are royalties," old man Henry said.

"Must be nice then. Let's go home now," I said.

Sigh… now I have to go to that village and bury some dead people.

They haven't become zombie yet, right?
