The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 171: Taking The Tail

The Giant Salamander is already dead. And everyone is cheering. All the hunters nearby approached the dead Giant Salamander to see if it’s really dead.

And I can see some idiots trying to get the credits for killing the Giant Salamander. They even fought for it. And some of that idiots are actually the ones who casted fire magic on this Giant Salamander. This fire lizard.

How did one learn to be stupid? That’s the opposite of what learning meant to be!

One is learning to be smart! Not stupid! But these people did just the opposite!

Or maybe thy never learnt anything before. If so, that’s makes sense.

I wonder what they will think once I’m coming out of this Giant Salamander’s chest?

The Giant Salamander died laying sideways. Which means I will come out of its chest if I keep digging forward.

.....

Now that I think about it, this Salamander’s scales are quite strong, right? Maybe I should take some for myself. Victoria is finally able to be in charge of the slime’s body for a whole day now. I think she will leave my side more often now. That’s why I want to have some sort of protection.

Not like the full body armor I had Victoria transformed to. Maybe just arm guards for both arms, shin guards, and a breastplate. As for other areas, I don’t need it. Since this is not Victoria, I won’t have much freedom of movement if I put too much armor. And all the things I needed can also be hidden under my clothes. Probably not the breastplate though. I’ll just ask Victoria later if there are any other type of armor I can hid under my clothes. She has more knowledge than anyone about such matter in this world after all.

I dug out of the Giant Salamander’s chest and see the shocked expression of the stupid hunters who want to claim this monster as their loot. Well, I won’t give it to anyone though.

“Who are you?!” Stupid hunter #1 asked.

“Why are you asking such stupid question? He’s obviously a monster! A Living Armor. There’s also one in the east gate before, but that one is more feminine. Like, her curves are showing. Unfortunately, there’s nothing inside since it’s just a living armor.” Someone replied. Probably stupid hunter #2

“Yeah? Then where’s the summoner?”

“The person who contracted these monsters are obviously not a summoner. But a tamer since this mage has two Living Armors.”

Stupid hunter #1 and #2 are talking back and forth, while I’m thinking of how to get all this for myself. But that seems difficult. If only I’m strong enough to carry this Giant Salamander somewhere.

Then I noticed something. The idiots started talking about the Living Armor in the east gate and me are one and the same. Why?

And I found out the reason.

“Both Living Armors are the same! So, it might be a summoner!” It’s another stupid hunter. This one is #3

“You might be right. Look! This Living Armor is wearing a fishnet stocking!”

... VICTORIA!!!!

I glared at the stupid hunters. They were probably thinking that I’m targeting them.

Then I went to the back of the Giant Salamander and wanted to cut of its tail. The tail’s length is a bit less than twenty meters, but that’s more than enough for me to build my armor.

With Victoria transformed into what she called chainsaw, I cut the tail of the Giant Lizard. Everyone is shouting something when they saw me cutting the Salamander’s tail.

After I cut it, I carried it. I should be able to bring this somewhere safe.

And so, I escape from the others to somewhere they won’t find me. It’s a bit difficult with the size of the tail, but still doable. The most difficult thing is for me to escape from the pursuers. The idiot hunters who wanted to take everything.

They wanted to take the credits for killing the Giant Salamander, and they don’t want me to take its tail. How stupid are they?

But that’s fine with me. As long as I’m far enough from the smarter hunters, I can just kill all of these idiots.

That’s what I prepared to do, but someone stopped me. It was Kron who realized that there are too many hunters following me.

“Stop it! Do you guys really want someone whose strength enough to kill that Giant Salamander as your opponent? If you want, then feel free to chase after him!” Kron shouted at the top of his lungs.

“...but, that monster just...” someone tried to complain.

“Why do you care about that Giant Salamander’s tail? While you are stupidly chasing after the tail, the body has been taken to the guild. If you want to chase after that Living Armor, that’s fine! You can do it! But remember this! While you guys are hiding, that Living Armor goes around the city protecting people! If those people know that you are hunting that Living Armor, you will no longer have any place in the city!” After saying that, Kron left.

The stupid hunters looked at each other for a while and finally they returned to the city. Some of them are gritting their teeth.

But still... I failed to kill everyone. It’s not like any of them are members of the cult, but I just don’t want to see any of these people ever again.

And now no one is chasing after me. I can finally talk now.

“Damn you, Victoria! Why did you put the stocking over the armor?! It was so embarrassing!” I shouted.

“Then I’ll ask you this. Back then, when Angela is about to break through and you meet Candy, you had me covered your whole body and transformed into a woman with revealing clothes, right? What’s the difference with this?”

It was the time when the twin from the cult attacked people who are trying to breakthrough. I transformed into a bombshell that has both traits of big boobs and big butt. Making both of them droll over me.

“That was different! I used you to have the appearance of a woman back then, but not now! Take off the stocking now! I don’t need to wear it anymore.”

Since the stocking is over the armor, I had Victoria take it off. And since we no longer have to hide my identity, she also leaves my body and turned into her human form. Wearing that stocking.

“How do I look?” Victoria asked.

“Better than when I wore it. Since no one is chasing after us anymore, let’s try taking all the scales on this tail.”

“What do you want to do with the scales?”

“Making an armor. Since you will probably leave my side more often now, I need to have another means of protection.”

“How will you do it? After all Aura users were put to extinction, this world has become a magic world where no one needed to have a blacksmith to build their armor. Are you going to do the smithing yourself?” Victoria asked.

That’s... a good question.

“Maybe I can just sculpt something from this scale and transformed it into arm guards and shin guards?”

“Of course you can. But the endurance of the equipment and the quality is different from if a real blacksmith do it. That is just a temporary measure. You need to find a blacksmith. Or maybe become one yourself. By the way, blacksmith are people whose work is closely related to fire. So, you might still need this stocking again.”

Right! I need to find one!

While I’m still collecting the scales, we talked about many things. Since finally the stampede is over, and my graduation should be guaranteed, now we will have some time of freedom. And we are planning to use that time to improve ourselves.

“By the way, Roy? Do you remember what I ask you in case one day my mind can take control of this slime at all time?”

“What? That you said you wanted to be my girlfriend?” I asked.

“Yeah. For someone so forgetful, you do remember the small stuffs.”

“What about that promise? Do you want to keep it? Because whether we became a lover or not, it doesn’t actually change what we’re doing right?”

“It’s just a matter of feeling. I will feel better if we do end up as lover. Now I have totally became Kayla and the others’ sister!” Victoria shouted happily.

After that, we continue collecting the scales until it was all gone. Now is the time to return to the city without anyone sees me.

“Hey, Roy.” Victoria who is running beside me called me.

“What is it?”

“I feel like the way we ended up as lover is much more casual than when you were asked by the others.”

“Then what? You want to be special?”

“Hm... I don’t know.”

“Aren’t you usually say another wish-fulfilment thing that you can’t do in your previous world? Why don’t you say something you like?”

“Yeah, that’s the thing. I’m not a fan of romance stories.”

“Then you can do anything you want for now. I’ll play along with you this time.” I said.

“Really?!”

She was so happy about it. She then transformed herself into... an armor with cape and the animal shaped helmet with two pointy ears. Like the one she transformed herself into before.

“Say it with a deep voice! I am vengeance! I am...”

Until we reached the city, she enjoyed herself playing with me. This is her reward for helping me all this time. She deserved to have rewards every once in a while.
