Chapter 1142: I Won’t Hide My Identity Anymore
Chapter 1142: I Won’t Hide My Identity Anymore
"How is it?"
I asked Lina in our house in Cassau if she sees anything else outside of the city.
"Thanks to Elsie’s ability, they can’t detect that we’re looking at them. They are still there approaching us. A lot of them are armored," Lina said. She can see far because Elsie is sharing her sight to her master.
"They seem to be sure that the Aura user is in this city. Or maybe they already guessed that it’s me," I said.
"What will you do, Roy?"
Kayla asked me. We just finished a battle before and we’re going to another one. But for us, it’s not something problematic. We all have enough stamina to fight again.
"Lina, what are the enemies?" I asked.
"They’re all adults. No kids," she said.
So it means that we can go all out without caring about their lives. We can kill them.
"Should I go alone?" Angela asked.
She’s confident that she can defeat them all easily. And I’m sure she’s right.
"Sunglasses, what do you think?" I asked Sunglasses.
"It’s up to you. If it was before, you’re afraid to reveal your identity because the others were not strong enough. But now, they are powerful enough. With Angela alone confident in defeating all incoming enemies. So it’s up to you to reveal your identity or not," Sunglasses said.
"What are the pros and the cons for me to reveal my identity?" I asked.
I’m not smart enough. If I just go and reveal my identity without knowing the cons, then I might endanger everyone. If everyone dies, then there’s no hope in destroying the cult.
Well, I doubt everyone will die. But I’m pretty sure some will.
"I’ll start with the cons. Your identity will be revealed. Your address will be known. They will know that you live in Cassau. They might target your friends. And there are probably other things but those are the most important cons. For the pros, you can bait the cult by revealing your location next time. Or maybe they will be more careful to not attack a place where you are, and—"
Sunglasses told me all the pros and cons for me to reveal my identity. Still, to use myself as a bait. That should be fine.
And as he said, I hide my identity because I’m afraid that my friends will be targeted. But most of them are master level mages now. They can fight on their own.
"I guess there’s no need to hide my secret anymore. But that’s all just the pros and cons of the cult knowing my identity. What about ordinary people?" I asked.
"Well, those who live in Cassau will most likely be targeted. Or if you show your strength in defeating the cult, they might worship you as a Hero. I’m pretty sure the Kings already thought of a plan to make you as the Hero or something. They are just waiting for the cult to find about your identity," Sunglasses said.
"So it means that it’s fine either way, right? Everyone, what do you think?" I asked.
"I doubt they can catch you anyway if you reveal your identity. And we are already prepared to risk our lives when we decided to move with you to Cassau. Don’t you remember?" Kayla asked.
That’s right. It was back in the brothel in the past that I revealed my past to them and they are willing to come with me to Cassau.
Wait, there should be more prostitutes there than just Sophie and Penny. Did they perhaps reveal my identity to the cult?
Does it matter anymore? I should just come out and tell the cult to go fuck themselves.
"Then I’ll go out there and reveal my identity. I just need to kill them while riding Ray without wearing armor to cover myself. It’s simple," I said.
And while riding Ray, I don’t have to bother with defending myself. Ray can help me by dodging all the attacks with his speed. So I can focus more on attacking and killing my enemies.
Focusing everything solely for attack, I become stronger compared to focusing in defending as well. The armor is not that strong anyway. It’s just for me to be able to pour my Aura into the whole armor that can protect my entire body. I might not need that armor anymore.
"Everyone will defend the city. I’ll go out there and greet the enemies," I said.
Just like that and I left my house. I’m now Roy the Aura user. Let the cult knows that.
I let the people coming this way know that they are being watched by me using my Divine Vision. They all rushed my way but as soon as they see me, they couldn’t even block my attack.
Sure they were wearing armor made of Etherstone. But there will always be an opening. Including the one on their helmet just so they can see in front of them.
So I just need to transform Blobbies into a very thin needle sword and pierced their head through the gap in their helmet. Using Blobbies, I don’t need to pull back my arm after I pierced their head. I just need to transform those Blobbies so I can continue using my weapon without having to pull back at all.
"He’s the Aura user! That guy we suspected is really the Aura user!"
"I can tell that, you idiot! Our mission is still to kill him!"
To kill me? Not to attack the city? Then that’s good. I really can use myself as a bait.
Even if they are going to the city, they can’t do anything with Angela and the others protecting the city. They all will die.
Hmm? Wait. It doesn’t mean that they only suspected me, right? I’m sure they still have some other people they are suspecting. Including my other disguise from before. Roby.
It means that there are other cities that are going to be attacked. I need to tell the others but I can’t use my phone. Good thing Victoria can. And she’s not with me at the moment. So I can just use telepathy to contact her.
’Victoria, tell Sunglasses that there might be other cities under attack by armored mages. They are probably going to attack any city with someone they suspected to be the Aura user. Including the city I disguised myself as before. Tell them to prepare themselves,’ I said to Victoria.
’Are you already revealing your identity? Well, sooner or later they will realize it anyway. I’ll contact Sunglasses and the others then.’
She’s already with Fabio so we have one King learned it already. And if it’s a location where we don’t have much security, we can send some people using portal.
I might be busy right now. But we still have Lina and Sonia who can help with transporting people. They will do it.
There are some warriors who are also master level mages. They are good in both fighting and magic. But they’re still no match against me.
They can’t gauge the length of my weapon. Because I can alter it at will.
When they thought that it’s still some distance until my needle sword can pierce their eye, it suddenly got longer. When they thought that they blocked it, it got shorter.
I called it needle sword because the tip is as thin as a needle. And since a normal rapier is a bit thicker than this, I call it needle.
"Block him!"
Since I’m too fast, they decided to block me. But do they forget that I’m strong as well? And Ray is not an ordinary horse either. We can easily destroy earth wall or ice wall in front of us.
"Lightning mages! Shoot!"
So now they use their fastest magic to reach us. Even if it’s fast, it’s useless if the caster of the magic can’t keep up with our speed. And we dodged them all.
There’s still no sign of space mage here. They really are trying to save them until the big battle in the future. At least I think so.
’Roy, we got reports that there are some armored people going to several other cities!’ Victoria informed me.
’If we kill them all, do you think that they will still think that the Aura user lives in Cassau, or will they still be suspicious of other people?’ I asked back.
’I think they will not be sure that you’re the Aura user. Unless you let some of them escape,’ Victoria said.
’Is it Sunglasses’ idea?’
’It is.’
’Then I will let some of them live,’ I said.
For those who are trying to escape, I won’t chase after them. But for now, it’s best to make them think that I’m going to kill everyone.
Soon after, I can see some people exchanging glances. Some of them then tried to escape. It’s them. I should let them escape.
Good thing we were running around before. Without them noticing, I was actually spreading Blobbies all over the place. And some of them were stuck on their clothes. So we might be able to learn where they are escaping to.
Now, let’s kill the rest of them.
