The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 690: Not Just a Base but a City

It’s early in the morning when I woke up from my rest. And I’m going to infiltrate the cult’s base in Monsters World today.

I ate breakfast with everyone and told them about what I’m going to do.

“I’m going to infiltrate the base. And Albert has given me permission to destroy everything there once I’m done investigating by myself. I think I will call for help later. But I don’t know. If I can kill everyone right away, I think there’s no need for you guys to participate,” I said.

“You think you can destroy everything?” Kayla asked me.

“I don’t know. Most things that I do are improvisation. I’m not good at planning. As soon as I finished with my objectives, I’ll fight. If I need you, I’ll ask for help. Sorry that I’m not good with planning,” I apologized.

“It’s okay. So, what will you do there?” Candy asked me.

“First, I will try to find and grab all the summoners there. Knock them out, block their magic, and bring them to Albert. That will make sure that no one can leave Monsters World. Then, I will search for the master level mages and important people in that base. I’ll capture them all as well if possible. Once I’m done, there’s only destruction left,” I said. At least that’s what I had in mind. I don’t know if I will actually do it or not later.

.....

Though infiltrating the base and looking for master level mages might be difficult. So I don’t think that I can capture them all. Because once I used portal to bring the summoners to Albert, I’m pretty sure that the master level mages will notice.

“Best of luck to you. Don’t pick a fight against anyone as soon as you enter just because all of them are related to the cult,” Kayla said.

“You think I’ll just fight anyone because they’re from the cult?”

“””Yes!”””

Everyone agreed easily. Even Angela agreed. Am I that unreliable in holding myself back?

“Whatever. I’ll be going then. Just prepare yourself if Sonia appears,” I said.

“Oh, what about Randy? He’s not going with you?” Kayla asked me.

“He’s going to investigate where the newly awakened summoners and tamers were taken to and probably he will save those kids before they got themselves involved too deeply with the cult with Spot,” I said.

I also told them about what happens with school and how there are some people who are scouting for summoners and tamers. And maybe some people who awakened good element.

“Ah, I think I remember about it. That day, when I was about to go home after my awakening test, someone approached me. He said that he’s interested in my healing magic. Maybe he’s involved with the cult,” Kayla said.

Well, that was to be expected. If there are spies at school, someone should have asked Kayla just because of her healing magic.

“Hmm... I think someone did approach me back then. But I don’t remember at all. I just hurriedly went home that day so I can test my magic,” Angela said.

Since she has four elements, it’s also natural for Angela to be approached.

The others also started talking if there are someone approaching them.

“Master! Someone also approached me that day! But when I said that I want to transform into a rhinoceros, they gave up on me!” Jewel said.

Even my disciple? Well, they might be thinking that she wants to transform into a bird. And with her lighting magic while she’s flying, she will be very powerful. But they gave up after Jewel confidently said that she wants to be a rhino.

I was at first shocked with her decision. But now, I think her decision was truly the best decision she ever made. Even master level mage with enhanced physical strength would have difficulty to hurt Jewel in her rhino form.

But now there’s one question I have in my mind.

Why didn’t they approach me? I have summoning element which they want. But why didn’t they approach me instead? Is it because they are thinking that I will be weak no matter how much I trained because I have air element as my other element?

In my first life, I only have summoning element. And they didn’t approach me.

And in this life, I have two elements. Summoning and air element. But they still didn’t approach me.

I’m not that useless! But I guess no one would have any expectation on me since that’s all I have.

“Look. He’s angry now after thinking that the cult never approached him because no one expected him to be anything,” Victoria said.

Damn, now she’s insulting me. Good thing I have something to look forward soon. The destruction of the cult’s base in Monsters World.

I don’t know if the base will be the only base in Monsters World or not, but just the destruction of one base is already good enough. Even better if I can kill all the summoners so they won’t have any chance of escaping.

But if there’s a master level mage in one element and also have summoning element as well, that might be hard. They can escape easily using portal.

After I finished talking with everyone, I left to Monsters World. With Victoria and Airy.

“...I’m totally useless. I only realized how big the trouble we’re facing now. Are you sure it’s okay for me to come with you?” Airy asked me.

“It’s fine. You’re already good enough just by staying with me. Although it’s a little, even though I’m not cultivating, I can feel that my air element is gradually improving. Just by being with you, I can improve my strength. I want you to keep staying with me instead so I can reach master level sooner,” I said.

“That means I’m useful to you?” Airy asked.

“You are. But if you want to leave my side, then you are free to do that. I would never try to restrain your freedom,” I said.

“Then I’ll stay! Thank you for saying I’m useful!”

Nice. I picked the right answer. It’s a good thing that she will stay with me voluntarily instead of having me forcing her to do so. I don’t want someone useful to me to leave.

Now, were’ close to where the base is. We will be entering the base from the gate close to where the vampires left before after their raid is over.

I changed my clothes into something dirtier and torn. I’m going to enter the base while pretending that I returned after I got attacked by vampires. They will believe me and won’t try to identify me. Hopefully.

To make it more believable, I roll around on the ground to make myself dirtier.

One of the human that Albert interrogated before was a healer. I can just say that the healer healed me but he died in the end.

Next is rough breathing to make it seems like I’m exhausted. And my preparation is complete. Except for my name. But I don’t think anyone will care about my name. I’ll use the name Clarence I guess. Even if they think that I’m related to the circus, no one will think that someone who destroyed a base is a clown.

And so, once I get closer to the base, I started running lightly pretending that I have just escaped.

I approached the gatekeeper and gave him one coin. Good thing all coins are the same.

“Huff... I encountered some vampires... everyone else died and I’m the only survivor...” I said to the gatekeeper.

“The vampires again? Damn them. They should have just get themselves tamed. Are you okay? Do you need a healer?” the gatekeeper asked.

Good. He didn’t suspect me at all. I’m so good at acting.

“I’m fine... Just tired. The healer managed to heal me before he got himself killed. But I couldn’t get everyone’s coins. Sorry.” I said.

“It’s not important anyway. The coin is just to enter the gate. Everyone thinks that by bringing the other’s coin, they can get their belongings since they are dead. But they’re wrong. Though it’s a secret. We just don’t want the coin to fall into the hands of humanoid monsters. Or the accident like last night will happen,” the gatekeeper said.

Before I move from the gate, I need to ask a question to make all suspicion of me disappear.

“What... happened last night? I was out,” I asked.

“The vampires attacked the base. Once you enter, you will see that there are evidences of destruction there. No one bothers to clear them yet.”

“Ah? Is my place destroyed?” I asked.

“Just look at it yourself! My house is also destroyed. It’s just a month ago that I can buy that house! But it’s destroyed now. I had no choice but to sleep at the inn. Just enter already and get some rest! Your breathing is annoying!”

Well, I think that’s enough. He won’t be suspicious of me anymore.

But an inn? Is this not a base but a city?

Now that I enter the base and look around, without using my Divine Vision, I can see that it’s not that much different to a city. Which is good. Because I can use a room at the inn as my base while I’m here.
