The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 77 - Treasure, Get!

"About the cyclops. It's a particularly strong monster. Comparable with an Orc General. So for this fight, the participant will only be me, Victoria, Lina, and Sunny. Since the rest of you can get some shares from the treasures, us two summoners will get this turn."

The content of the treasure chest containing various magic stones that suit the rest of the girls. So for the Cyclops, it's the summoners' turn. I need Victoria to defeat a whole lot powerful monster so I can increase my level. Thanks to the Orc Emperor, I'm already halfway in increasing her time. For defeating the Cyclops, it might not increase by much, but it's important for her to defeat monster no matter how weak and how little it increase my summoning element is.

As for Lina, since she only has a summoning element, and has always been Sam's maid, she never had any experience in real fight against monsters other than today. Defeating the Cyclops should improve the level of her summoning element. Although I don't think it's enough for her to reach Intermediate level.

The experience will be shared between the two of us, but that's fine. Since she has chosen to stay with me, I can help her raise her level. Maybe if I replace another Pear-y Fruit I can give it to her.

"Alright. Good luck Lina! Sunny too!"

"I wish you the best, Lina!"

"I believe in you."

"Hey! What about me?"

Angela, Kayla, and Sophie were just encouraging Lina. They don't care about me at all.

"Huh? You'll be fine so we don't need to say anything."

"Don't let Lina got hurt."

"I believe in you."

The treatment is totally different with me… except for Sophie who keeps repeating the same words.

Well, at least it means they have that much trust in me.

"Let's enter. Lina. Just tell Sunny to keep shooting at it."

"Okay."

"Are you sure it's okay with just two summoners? I have seen Sunny's performance but not yours. I think Victoria can fight well but I don't know yet."

Ellen seems to be hesitating about my plan. Well, it's her first ride with me so it's understandable.

"Just watch. The four of you just need to watch. The victor has already been decided."

"You have that much confidence, huh? I guess I'll just trust you."

She has been docile since I show her the holes in the ceiling. After all she can't stay hostile against someone who had been right all the time.

"So I just have to let Sunny shoot the enemy?"

"Yes. You just need to hold Sunny and keep shooting. The Cyclops doesn't have anything to attack from distance. Just shoot it from a safe distance. Don't worry about me. I can dodge Sunny's seeds easily while Victoria doesn't really take any damage."

"Understood."

We decided to face the Cyclops with this plan.

We continued walking on the passageway and finally we reached a bigger room. The length of the room is about 20 meter and it's only 5 meter wide. The height is just about 4 meter. Which makes the 3 meter tall Cyclops have restricted movements.

"There's our Cyclops. You can see behind that thing that there's a treasure chest. That's our target in this exploration."

"You're right. Don't tell me you have a see-through vision or something."

"Yes I do. Ask me what color is the underwear you're wearing and I can tell you the answer."

"I was right! You're just a pervert!"

Oops! I shouldn't have said that. Now she became hostile again toward me.

"Well, let's start the fight. You girls just stay and watch. Lina! Shoot!"

"Okay!"

Sunny started shooting its seeds. Does Sunny have unlimited seeds?

Victoria and I also run toward the Cyclops. If the space is this big, I should be able to use my spear just fine. But I also want to improve my dagger technique so I keep using it that way.

Feeling the seeds attacking it, the Cyclops didn't take any damage. The Cyclops strength is almost as strong as the Orc General that I fought before so it was as expected that it takes no damage.

But the seeds make it notice our existence. It knows that enemy is coming.

The Cyclops fight unarmed. It used its long arms to fight. But for Victoria and me, those punches are easy to evade. Especially in this closed space. It keeps hitting on the wall as we keep evading the Cyclops' punches.

I threw three throwing knives to its eye. Although its muscles is as strong as Orc General, its eye is not as strong. Just throwing knives are enough to damage it. Even more, since Cyclopes only have one eye, those knives already took away that monster's vision.

Victoria and I keep slashing at the blinded Cyclops. Although it will be easy to finish if I stab it like how I finished the Orc General, we choose this style of fighting to improve ourselves.

Victoria with her Katana cut open a long wound on the Cyclops, while I use my dagger and aura to make a deeper wound. We keep doing it until the Cyclops unable to move any longer.

It was easier than Orc General since the Cyclops has difficulty in this closed area. Thanks to its size, its movements are restricted a lot and easily predicted. That's how we killed it easily.

"Well, that was easy."

"No, it's not! Cyclopes are monsters that needed at least an advanced level mage to defeat! But you not only are still a beginner level. You also didn't use any magic and fight close combat with it! You are insane!"

"How was it, Lina?"

"I'm fine. But mentally exhausted. I never thought you can defeat it without using magic."

"Well, if you're with me, you will see more unexpected things. Try to get used to it like Angela, Kayla, and Sophie did."

I looked at Sunny who's being carried by Lina.

"Oh, look! Sunny seems to has grown bigger!"

"Yes! I can feel that Sunny is happy. Sunny also started dancing."

I see the stalk keeps moving. Is that dancing? I guess Sunny is happy with its own growth.

"Let's go check the treasure chest."

I opened the treasure chest and I can see a lot of magic stones there.

"They're really magic stones. And the qualities are high! How did you know? Was it really see-through vision?"

"You doubted me? That's normal I guess. Here's one fire magic stone for you. As for the rest, we'll share it at the inn."

"Okay. It was interesting to explore a dungeon. Let's do it again sometime!"

"But after we reported about this dungeon, it will be crowded by hunters who wanted to seek treasures. So it will be difficult to enter again soon."

"But I don't think they can get anything yet at the moment. The hole we entered is quite slippery since many slimes used it. It will be a while until someone other than us can get a treasure. They also need to fight monsters like the Cyclops. It will be difficult for average hunters."

"You're also leaving for the capital soon, right? So we can't enter it at least until you returned here."

"You're right."

After checking on the ghosts tomorrow, I planned to go to the capital the next day alone. I hope the ghosts problem can be solved so I can buy that building and let the girls stay there.

I need to go to the capital to report about the Evil God Cult to the king. And I need to do it stealthily. No one must know who I am. I also need to disguise myself so the king won't know who I am.

"Master, you're going to the capital? Do you need me to go with you?"

"I need to go alone. Sorry I can't take you with me. But I want you to take care of our new house as soon as we buy it. I'll go check on it tomorrow."

"Understood. I'll make it as clean as possible."

"I knew I can count on you!"

"Of course!"

She's as cute as usual after getting praised.

Meanwhile Ellen seems to be deep in thoughts.

"Hey, Kayla. Can I ask you a favor?"

"What is it?"

"I'm going to inform my party about the unexplored area. When we decided to explore this dungeon again I want you to come with us. We don't have any light element magic to give us light."

"Hmm?"

Instead of answering, Kayla just looked at me. Asking for my permission.

"You can do whatever you want while I'm going to the capital. But once I return here don't forget that we will go back to Melk soon."

"Then I will go."

"Great!"

"On one condition!"

Of course I would put a condition to this. I can't let anything bad happen to Kayla.

"She can go only if you promise to do anything it takes to protect her from danger. If it's only at the level of orcs, she can fight it just fine. But there are Cyclops in the unexplored areas. You have to protect her even with your life on the line! If you can't do that, ask someone else."

"Of course that's a given! Did you forget that we have an S-rank hunter in our party?"

"I don't. But can your party use a powerful small magic like my party did? Using a strong magic without control will only damage yourself and your surroundings. Can that S-rank of yours do it?"

"… I don't know."

"Roy. Can I teach them how to control their magic? I will only follow them once they passed an acceptable level of control."

"Sure then. You can ask Angela to help you teach them since she's better at it."

"Only if they ask me to join the exploration… Is what I want to say. But in a closed space, it will be hard to explore with too many members. I'll just stay in the city and cultivate with those magic stones we just got."

"Then that's that. If their control is not good enough, don't join them."

"Okay!"

"That's good. Let's return now. We have been here for a while."

Seems like they have their own plan now. Angela and Sophie will try to improve their magic with the help of magic stones. Kayla will teach Ellen's party about magic control. And Lina will take care of our new house.

I hope I can punch those ghosts away from that building.
