Chapter 964: To Arturo
Chapter 964: To Arturo
Because of boredom, I decided to join in other battles while not disguising myself as Robby.
But for these battles, I only acted as an expert level air mage. Using small rocks as bullets, I shot the enemy from afar.
"Well, when she’s return, Sara will be a master level air mage. So I’ll be happy for now as the strongest air mage since she’s not here," I said to myself.
"And you don’t even bother to hide your identity at all. Well, I don’t think anyone will notice that you’re the Aura user they’re looking for if I continue to act as your artificial right hand," Victoria said.
That’s right. For these acts as a sniper and killing the enemy from long distance, I have some weaker members of the army to protect me as I shot the enemy from afar. And I also use Victoria as my right hand. So I don’t think anyone will notice that I’m the Aura user the cult was looking for since even if they see me, they will see a man with both hands shooting from afar.
As for seeing things from afar, it was easy to disguise my Divine Vision since I have a scope attached to the sniper rifle created from Blobbies. The scope part was real because Victoria and her clones were unable to transform themselves into a glass.
Though to make it more convincing, I never tried to shoot an enemy who was too far even though I’m confident that I can reach them.
As for enemies who got closer, the members of the army who were responsible in protecting me were taking care of them. Though I helped them a bit since they’re weak.
But some managed to escape after they saw my appearance. Well, these people should have recognized Angela, Kayla, and the others. So if they recognize me as someone who lives with them, I don’t really mind.
But I don’t want them to know that I’m the Aura user yet. Or they will show their real force to attack Cassau sooner or later. I don’t want that to happen too soon. That’s why I disguised myself as Robby once in a while.
I have been going there as Robby a few times already. And the people there have seen several suspicious people. Though all of them were villagers from a nearby villages that wasn’t recorded in a map.
The agents from Consenza were investigating them now. But so far, they didn’t find any relation from the village to the cult at all. So for now, I guess you can say that it’s still safe.
And even though I have shown myself in a battle near the city Robby lives, it seems like it will be a while until they found out that Robby lives there.
Well, that’s what happened when you killed everyone of the enemy in the battle. It will take much longer until the cult realized that the Aura user is Robby.
There were also more progresses about the mages in the Spirit Mountain. Seems like there are more mages who are close in reaching master level.
But for me, I only have three people to look forward. Angela, Kayla, and Jewel.
There’s no news about Angela’s progress. But that’s normal. Because her element is different than the others.
While the other raised their element one by one, Angela raised her four elements together. Which ended up with all her four elements surprisingly combined together.
As she’s probably the only case in the world with four elements combined into one, we can only be patient and wait for Angela to progress on her own.
Next is Kayla. It’s obvious why I look forward to see her reaching master level.
She’s already a master level in her earth element. But what I want to see is her reaching master level in her healing element and help me regrow my right hand.
The third one is Jewel. It’s not only because she’s my disciple. But it’s also because she’s a lightning mage.
I said it before that it’s likely for her to be our strongest force if she reached master level. Just under Angela if she’s also a master level mage.
There’s also Candy who is a fire mage and lightning mage. Even though I look forward for her to reach master level in both her elements, it wasn’t as much as Jewel. Sorry about that, Candy.
It’s because even though she’s strong, she’s also focused more on her other specialties like espionage and investigation. So unlike Jewel who can focus only on getting stronger, Candy will focus in other subjects. While Candy could still be stronger than Jewel in the end, I don’t think she will focus on that.
That’s why I think Jewel will be the strongest lightning mage even if they both reached master level in their lightning element. Though maybe if Candy can make some sort of combination magic that allows her to attack with both fire magic and lightning magic combined, then Candy will be stronger.
...Scratch that! I’ll stop thinking about the three whom I want to see the most and just say that I want to see everyone grow stronger.
If I keep thinking about it, I will end up thinking that I also want to see Kron and even Oleg to be the strongest.
As expected, I’m not good at thinking. I blame it on the Spirit King and my regression to the past.
While I was thinking, I got called by Harold. The former and currently temporary King of Arturo since Fabio is training.
"Roy, I need your help! One of our big city in Arturo is under attack! And we don’t have enough force to protect ourselves!" Harold said.
"I’ll be there. Though I might be late on purpose," I said.
"That’s fine. We might not have master level mages, but to delay the attack for a while should be good enough. Just don’t be way too late," Harold said before he hang up.
As he said, Arturo had no master level mages protecting it. I should have get Veronica stay there instead of Cassau since Tatrama already has Shirley.
So I called Veronica and she agreed to stay in Arturo for a while. Just like how I became Robby once in a while. Which means she will come home as much as possible and probably only coming to Arturo once in a while to show her face to the people living there.
That’s fine. So I transferred Veronica to the capital of Arturo first. She will tell Harold to prepare a lodging for her before she flew on her own to the battle.
After that, I opened a portal myself to somewhere in Arturo where I supposed to hide my familiar at as my transfer point.
They have told me four locations where I should appear when there’s a problem nearby. And for the one in Arturo, there are Ray and Victoria who acts as the living armor.
"I guess I’ll have to fight on my own then," Victoria said.
"You never really fought on your own though. You’re with Ray," I said.
"Whatever. Let’s go!"
And so, the two of us wearing full armor rode Ray and move to the attacked city where Veronica already arrived to help.
To attack a big city must means that they are confident that they have enough strength to do it. Which means that there’s at least a few master level mages among them.
And when I arrive, I could see Veronica being targeted by several master level mages. They’re all aiming fo Veronica since she’s also a master level mage.
But Veronica is stronger than them despite only having one element. So she could avoid thir attacks and counter attack.
It’s also thanks to the game of tag we played several times already. She has became so good with her move that even the enemy’s master level wind mages unable to get close to her at all.
And now I have arrived. So I will help her... later. She can do well on her own right now. Helping her now will only distract her if I do it wrong.
"Victoria, you help that side. I will focus over there," I said.
Whenever I participate in a fight, I would have a Blobbyknife attached to my right wrist. So I can still fight using my right.
With all the experience playing tag with the monsters who are far more faster and stronger than these mages, it was easy to dodge their slow attack. And these mages had no experience fighting close range. So it was easy for me to take care of this side.
And so, I started thinking again.
Is the cult really prepared to do anything to kill me? I don’t think they have enough power to do it. They have to be good in fighting close range as well if they want to cause me some problem.
Even the Archbishop, even though he’s not that good, his skill with that Etherstone staff was decent enough to cause me some trouble.
But these guys? They are so weak.
I guess the reason they didn’t try to find me right away was because of that. they want to improve their close-range fighting skill first.
Which means that it will take a while until that happen. I guess we still have time until everyone reached master level.
