The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 352 - Suspicious People



"The fight is over. Now, I have some work to do," I said as I stand from my seat.

"Work? Wait, did you find any of them?" Wendy next to me asked.

"Possibly. I won't be back at the hotel. And tell Kayla and Jewel that I might not be there for their match tomorrow. But if the job can be finished in one night, I'll come," I said.

After that, while no one is moving from their seats as they are enraptured by the quick and overwhelming victory of Angela.

As I stood from my seat, Albert is glancing at me. I just raise my hand slightly to say that I'm busy and he nodded. Even though he has no far sight like me, his vision is still good.

I left the Arena. This time, unlike yesterday, outside of the Arena is empty since most people are at the square watching the fight. But I still went to an empty alley just in case.

Then I opened a portal toward Victoria's location.

"Victoria, we had some work to do," I said.

"You found them?" Victoria asked as she release herself from Shirley's leg while creating clones to take over.

"I'll follow them for now. Let's go."

"What about Spot?"

"He'll follow me as soon as he noticed that I'm no longer in the Arena. Shirley, congrats on winning. See you later," I said to Shirley.

As for Fred, he was too focused to Angela on the stage as he doesn't notice me opening a portal. That's why I dare to use a portal even though I still haven't fully trusted him.

There are about three people from the Arena who seem bitter at Angela's strength. There are actually more, but those people are with other teams participating in the tournament. That's not enough to be suspicious of them. They are just analyzing their opponent.

Other than those three, there are five others with the same bitter expression watching from the square. I'll investigate them all to see if they are from the cult. If they are, since they don't have explosive device in their mouth, I can only suspect that they are expert level mages.

Let's see where they are going after the match. It's difficult to keep focusing my sight on eight of them. I need Victoria's help.

"Victoria, make a clone and turn them as small as possible. I will attach them to each one of them. Eight clones will do," I said.

"So, there are eight people. Understood," Victoria replied.

Victoria did as I say, and now, I have eight peanut-sized Blobbies in my hand. Now, to attach them to the suspicious people while I still remember how they look.

The square is still crowded, and the five targets are having a problem getting out of the crowd. They just waited until everyone else leaving. And I use that chance.

If they are expert level mages, they should be able to notice when I threw the Blobbies at them. That's why I need to get close to them.

Luckily, there's someone who sells peanut for snacks during the fight. I'll just disguised myself as that guy who is leaving the square, and pretend to be selling peanuts. I stole some of them from that guy. Well, it doesn't count as stealing if I left some money behind, right? He was also happy to find the money and the note I left behind.

I get closer to the targets one-by-one, and when I'm near them close enough to touch them, I stuck a Blobby on their clothes. Those Blobbies then will move to the inner part of the clothes so they will be harder to find.

That's all five from the square, now it's the three in the Arena.

Hmm… luckily, some people from Melk are happily used their fire magic as a firework. Some of the spark hit other people, but it won't damage them. It's fine for me to threw the Blobbies at them I believe.

Everyone is merry at Angela's victory. Well, those who are from Melk I believe. And each time the person closest to the three shot a firework, I threw a Blobby.

They don't seem to notice the Blobby. Now all eight people are marked. Let's follow them.

First, two out of the three from the Arena, they are entering different private room for the participating team. I guess they are some kind of analyzer for the team. They seem bitter while telling the participants something.

I guess those two aren't cult members.

As for the other one… he's already gone. Let's follow the other people at the square first.

Three of them are crying. Don't tell me that they are gambling for Angela's team to lose? I guess the odd is quite huge after all. they must have spent a lot of money for gambling. Well, it's their own fault.

Then three left to go.

"Roy, the last guy from the Arena and one person from the square are meeting up," Victoria reported.

"Well, they are suspicious. Let's see about the other one from the square," I said.

"As for that last guy, I don't think you need to worry. He's someone from the same school as you, Kayla, and Angela. And whenever you're not around, that guy would try to flirt with either Angela or Kayla. He must be bitter because the gap between them have become too big," Victoria said.

"Is that so? I don't remember him at all," I said.

"I don't doubt that. But if you want, I'll keep all my clones to all eight of them," Victoria said.

"Yeah, do that. Let's follow those two now. Oh, and Spot is coming this way."

Spot flew toward me and as usual, he wrapped his body around my waist.

"Where are you going, Roy?" Spot asked.

"Following suspicious people."

"Do we finally have someone to kill?"

"Probably."

Since Spot is here, I asked him to let us ride him. Flying is better than walking. Especially since he has camouflaging ability.

The last two people are moving farther than my Divine Vision's range, but Victoria told me where they're going.

They are entering the same inn. I doubt that those two men are staying in one room, but they entered a room with someone else in it. Let's eavesdrop on them.

I covered my body with Aura, as we dropped from Spot's body and landed on the rooftop. But since Spot can still use his camouflaging skill even in his small form, we are still invisible to normal people.

And with my Aura covering my body, expert level mages have a hard time detecting my presence. I got close enough to hear them talking with my heightened senses.

"How was the Princess' match? Is she strong?" the man waiting in the room asked.

"She is strong. It will be difficult to kidnap her and use her to blackmail the king," the man watching from the square replied.

"Sigh… I thought that since she doesn't have any royal guards with her, she would be an easy target. But she hasn't reached expert level yet, right?"

"That's right. But there's a surprise in the match as well. The Princess' teammate, the last one to fight, her name is Angela. And she's about as strong as expert level mage even though she hasn't reached that level yet."

"Seriously? Should we return to kidnapping at the king's son? But we keep failing. Everyone we sent were either killed or imprisoned."

"In any case, we need to find a way to conquer this kingdom. It's the Archbishop's order. This way, we can become closer to the True God and we will get promotion. Let's attack the king when he's resting tonight."

Yup. I don't need to hear anymore than that. They are saying about True God. That's the Evil God that the cult worshipped. Enough for me to confirm that they are from the cult. And since they are given the order directly from that Archbishop who is a master level mage, they must be expert level mages.

Good thing that they are in a single cramped room together. Now I can finish this mission before dinner.

I broke the window, entered the room, and quickly slashed the three cult members with Victosword. Unfortunately, one of them is still alive. The one who watched the match in the Arena.

He quickly used Wind Slash to attack me. I covered my body with Aura, and protect myself from the attack with my right arm covered with transformed Victoria. But the transformation is too slow. The Wind Slash is too fast that it managed to hit the unprotected area of my right arm before Victoria finished her transformation. Though I grabbed the tip of my Reizpear and killed the mage.

That Wind Slash not only injure my right arm. It also destroyed the wall to the next room and killed the person staying.

I need to get out of here before anyone noticed me.

"Victoria, don't loosen the grip on my arm. The bleeding is quite bad, but I need to get out of here fast. Spot, back to the hotel."

It's been a while since I was hurt like this. The last time was… when I fought Grandpa Werewolf.

The pain is still bearable, but I need Kayla to stop the bleeding before I lost too much blood. I also need to give report to Albert.. What a pain.
