The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 976: Time to Depart for the Mission

It’s past midnight now. And I am currently resting.

I’m not sleeping. I have rested enough after all. I’m just observing the two spies. After all, at dawn, most hunters in this city will go destroy the orc’s nest. And this ity will be at its weakest.

Well, it will still be strong. After all, everyone here is special agents. But most of the strength will go toward the orc’s nest. So we have to be careful with what the cult are planning.

From the cheap inn that the two spies stayed at, I could see one of them in the lobby of the inn. The first floor of the inn. And he tapped the ground in some kind of rhytm. Must be a signal to the master level earth mage.

The other spy was looking around the surrounding to see if there’s anyone out there. Then after checking that there’s no one there, they both left the inn by flying and leave the city.

Soon after they left the city, the master level earth mage also moved. So I just texted the receptionist that the master level earth mage is leaving. And she called me right away.

"Is she really leaving?" she asked.

"For now, yeah. She and the two spies are no longer in the city," I said.

"I’m sorry, but I have something I need you to do even though it’s late. Please tell me if they have returned. Because they might be waiting for ambush when you get to the orc’s nest tomorrow," she said.

"I guess that’s possible. If that’s the case, then what should we do?" I asked.

"If possible, I want you to kill them fast enough without them even noticing that you attacked them. That way, they will die before they could send telepathy message to their familiar if they are summoners. You can do that, right?"

"If it’s just one, it will be easy. But three at the same time, that will be difficult. By the time I killed one of them, the other two would have enough time to send telepathy message. And we don’t know who among them is the summoner with familiar," I said.

"If what you said about those two being expert level mages is true, then someone can handle those two. But for the master level earth mage, you have to kill her by yourself. You’re the only one who knows her appearance after all," she said.

"Only if she ever surfaced to the ground. She’s always staying in the ground," I said.

"If it comes to that, then we have no choice but for you to reveal your true identity as Aura user. Making the cult realize that Robby is the Aura user like we planned originally. We’ll see once you get to the orc’s nest. And so, I need another help from you. Since this mission could be important, could you send one of your familiar to me and another to Empress Lynn? Since the master level earth mage is not here, it’s a good time for that," she said.

"Alright. I’ll come to you right away," I said.

Then I opened a portal to her location. She’s in her bedroom wearing negligee. She was sleeping when I called her. I could see her.

"...You can’t just come without me telling you it’s fine," she said.

"You know about my Divine Vision, right? Then you should have expected it. I’ll let Graham stay here. As long as he hides his wings and walk on the ground, the earth mage won’t recognize him as a monster," I said.

Then I talked with Graham for a bit via telepathy and he agreed to come. Though it’s not like he will do anything other than staying with the receptionist.

"You understand the mission?" I asked.

"I just need to stay with her and tell her anything you told me, right?" Graham said,

"That’s right. Then, I’ll take my leave."

But before I left, the receptionist grabbed me.

"Why him? Why not the Black Slime?" the receptionist asked.

"You know about how suspicious people entered Cassau, right? I had her disguised as me there. So I can’t get her here. If you don’t want Graham stay with you, get him to stay with someone who will be close to you until tomorrow. Like the guild master," I said.

"...Please go to the guild master’s side," the receptionist girl said to Graham.

Graham looked at me then I nodded and told him where the guild master was while the receptionist called the guild master.

And then I left to...Claudia’s place. For me, Lynn was not as competent as Claudia like the citizens of this Empire believed her to be.

Claudia was already contacted by the receptionist as well. She was supposed to be mediating between the city and the Empress. So when I opened the portal, Claudia is in Lynn’s bedroom where I could see Lynn and Celestine laying down on the bed.

"...You’re an adult already but you still can’s sleep without your sister?" I asked.

"I can get lonely sometime, you know. So, who will stay here?" Lynn asked.

"That would be Crabbe. Though I don’t know if this is necessary."

"It is. After all, the city where Robby stay is still within Consenza’s territory. Though most thing will be done by the people there so you can just contact your familiar that on standby there. We’re just here to get the information in real time. We can’t give you a camera as well since apparently, the cult has started to get suspicious of those tools and started targeting the. So having your familiar here is important," Claudia explained.

After hearing her explanation, I brought Crabbe here. Because Victoria was still acting as me.

And why not Ray or Shelia? It’s obvious.

Ray s unable to speak. So it will be useless to bring him here. While Shelia prefer to fight. So if she heard that I’m in the middle of battle, she might even come flying to the battle on her own.

After that, I returned back to Robby’s house and rest again. While still using my Divine Vision once in a while to check if the spies have returned or not.

And a couple of hours later, the two spies returned. So I told Graham and Crabbe that the two spies have returned back to the city. But there’s no sign of the master level earth mage at all.

’Master. The guy I’m with said that the master level earth mage might be waiting near the orc’s nest. She might be waiting to ambush you or provoke the orcs to attack you aggressively when the mission starts. Please proceed with caution,’ Graham told me via telepathy.

I see. So those two returned while the master level earth mage will wait there to ambush us. This way, not only they can see if I’m the Aura user or not. It might also be useful for their mission to destroy the world. Starting from this city.

The master level earth mage might be thinking that just three members of the cult would be enough to destroy a city instead of getting more people by utilizing the orcs. This mission might get harder than we expected.

’I’ll inform you guys again if there’s a change and she returned here. If she didn’t return, I’ll contact the receptionist with my phone,’ I said via telepathy.

There’s no need to get Graham or Crabbe to do anything else if the master level earth mage is not here. We can use our phone freely since she’s not here.

Our phones have been modified to the point that no one lower than master level mage could detect when they were being used. Thanks to Marie the genius.

Dawn finally arrives. And I’m already prepared to move. The other hunters were ready as well Including the two spies.

But so far, there’s no movement at all from the master level earth mage. She must be waiting for us there.

The cult might even bring reinforcement to cause us trouble. We had a lot of discussion in the guild when I come early on purpose since the two spies were still not here.

When I said that the two spies were ready to leave their inn, we stopped discussing about what we need to expect from this mission.

"Then, I wish you all to return safely after this mission Good luck!" the guild master said.

I could see the two spies were curious about the handsome-looking guy next to the guild master. It was Graham. The spies haven’t seen him at all during the whole time they stayed in this city.

But the guild can just pretend that Graham was an official of the guild who had just returned from another city. Though the two spies never asked, so there’s no need to tell them.

With me in the lead riding a horse, a normal horse that the guild rented to me, we move toward the orc’s nest.

At this pace, it will take around two hours until we reach the nest. We’re not really in a hurry so it’s fine.

I could see the two spies smiling when we leave the city. They must be preparing something quite nasty in our destination. We have to be careful.
