Chapter 623: The Raid on the Cult’s Village

I keep watching the village to see what will happen. There are too many people here so they should be thinking of moving somewhere soon. Or maybe they will send the new recruits to a mission somewhere from here.

The people I chased are talking to one man inside the biggest hut in the village. They must be explaining how a circus troupe is suspicious because we are too strong and even have some expert level mages.

The man who seem to be the leader is angry and he slapped those cult members one by one. The slap was too strong that even without using magic, those people got blown away and hit the wall. The sound was loud enough to gain attention from everyone in the village to hear.

He is actually a master level mage. I was just assuming that there will be a master level mage, but I never thought that there’s already one of them. There might be more, but if I investigate any closer than this, I will get found out.

Whenever a mage increase their level, their physical ability also increased as well. So, even expert level mages can win in a fight against any guard from Mellian who have received training from me to improve their muscle. But master level mage is much stronger than expert level even in their physical ability.

But of course they can’t compare with Aura user or powerful monsters. Though they can just use magic from afar.

That one master level mage should be enough to destroy the whole circus group. But if he faces anyone from those who have trained with the ancient Aura users or trained with those two ghosts who have reached a stage beyond master level, he won’t be a match to us even though his level is higher.

.....

The man was angry, but he couldn’t get too far in his anger probably because he knows that they need more people. He can’t kill them in his anger.

He then gave some instructions to them and called the other senior members. Not the new recruits obviously.

“Victoria, should we kill them all? I think capturing even one of them will be difficult. Especially the master level mage. Even if we wrap a collar on his neck, his power is enough to break it,” I said.

“There’s a master level mage here? Seems like your journey to completely destroy the cult will be harder. How many of them are master level mage?” Victoria asked.

“I only see one. The man inside that big hut in the middle of the village. He’s calling other cult members inside after hearing of the failure of the people we chased,” I explained.

“Then we just need to grab some people who are gathering in that hut. The rest can be killed. I think you just need to call Shelia and Graham. Even though they outnumber us, they won’t be able to win. And they can’t escape as well since I will be with Ray to make sure no one can escape. You just need to knock them out, and the rest will be easy,” Victoria suggested.

“You don’t want to be the one charging in?” I asked.

“No. I can’t do much without Ray. And since he’s the fastest, I should use him to the best of his ability,” Victoria said as she transform herself into her armored form.

“Alright. I’ll call Shelia and Graham right away. Look carefully and see if there’s anyone leaving that hut after I summoned those two. Because once I used my magic, the master level mage should notice right away. If he’s a wind mage, he can easily come here or escape,” I warned Victoria before I jumped down from Ray’s back to prepare to summon the werewolf and the archangel.

I watched until all the important members of the cult entered the room where the master level mage is. Once I summoned Shelia and Graham, even without using the portal, the master level mage should be able to sense my magic. And if there are other master level mage there, I can see them as well.

Now! All of them have entered the room!

“Come out! Shelia! Graham!”

I summoned my two familiars simultaneously while watching what’s going on inside the hut.

And I can see the man who is the boss of this village is looking at us. Other than him, there is another person looking this way. It seems like there are two master level mages here. Good thing both of them are in the same room.

“I can sense two people are looking this way. What’s the plan?” Shelia asked right away.

As soon as they got summoned here without warning, they must have expected something like this to happen. Well, that’s to be expected knowing that they have known me for so long.

“Kill everyone outside that hut in the middle. As for the people inside, if they are too difficult to capture, just kill them. Seems like there are only two master level mages here so it won’t be a problem for us. At least try to capture those two and not kill them,” I said to my familiars.

“Then I will take care of those outside the hut first. Just me and my shadow clones are enough if there are no master level mage there,” Graham said.

“I have marked the smell of the two master level mages! I will take care of them!” Shelia said as she run toward the hut.

“Then I will capture as many as I can and help Shelia later. Although Shelia is strong and can defeat two master level mages, she will need some time until she can defeat them. As for Victoria and Ray, they will watch from the outside and make sure that no one escapes. Let’s go!”

After a short briefing, I can see the cult members are making their actions. The two master level mages are coming here. With the woman, the second master level mage, flying here with wind magic, and the man, the boss in this village, is moving the ground underneath him to travel.

They are quite fast. But Shelia is faster. She has grown much stronger after sparring with the ancient Aura users. And after the fight against Timmy, she has grown even more by asking Angela or the others for a spar, or training by herself.

Shelia quickly smashed down the flying master level mage toward the direction of the other master level mage, and faces the two of them alone. Though she’s still being surrounded by other enemies, she doesn’t care.

Because while the enemies are confused, Graham’s clones were already there killing those new recruits. Some of them were even killed while they are putting an explosive device into their mouth.

Graham has also grown as well. Not only that he can make more clones, each of them are strong on their own as well. Facing so many enemies there is easy for him and his clones.

Victoria is still not busy since the enemies are in confusion. As for me, I’m already inside the hut while the cult members didn’t even notice. They were too focused on Shelia and Graham, so they can’t sense me even though I no longer hide my presence.

“Hello, annoying people! If you don’t want to die, then surrender. Though you might faint anyway since I’m using sleeping gas in this room,” I said casually.

I don’t need to pretend that I’m a living armor, so I can talk. The armor is on because I need to get used to it more often since I will move while wearing it more often. Wearing it and wearing Victoriarmor is different after all.

“You!”

One of the cult members was preparing to attack me with his magic. But I knocked him out in an instant with just one punch to his temple. My punch is strong enough to shook his brain, and with the sleeping gases spread in this room, he faints.

“Since none of you are master level mages, I’ll put a Magic Restricting Collar on you so you won’t be able to use magic. If you surrender yourself, you can put one on your own instead of having me putting on around your neck,” I said after I wrapped a collar around the neck of the guy I knocked out.

I also throw many collars in case they want to wrap it around their own neck. But instead of wearing them, they became even more hostile.

“Sigh... I guess I need to hit all of you at least once. If you die, it’s natural. My punch is that strong after all,” I said.

I don’t need to use weapon. With my speed, I can reach them before they cast their magic. So a long range attack won’t be needed.

I knocked out almost half of them quickly. It’s also because the sleeping gases make them sleepy and they can’t make a proper move or think carefully because of it.

As for the other half, they tried to escape from the range of the sleeping gas and attack me from distance. But they got knocked out before they can aim at me. Even outside of the gas range, they are still within my range.

I looked outside and see Victoria and Graham have defeated a lot of enemies as well. This is easy.

“Let’s increase the pace, shall we?”

With the speed incomparably from when I arrive, I defeated the rest of the cult members easily. Now, only Shelia’s side remain. Though I need to wrap collars around these unconscious people’s neck first.

Sigh... they should have agreed when I told them to wrap the collar on their own neck...
