Chapter 507: The First Day is Over
Only the enemies bring their expert level mages with them. There are none of them among us. But because we are more prepared, so far, we are doing well. Even when I haven’t helped them at all, our armies managed to defeat the cult members.
It was mostly thanks to the werewolves and the vampires though. But if they can’t get close, our mages were the one giving the finishing attacks. The werewolves and the vampires helped a lot with distracting the enemies.
As for the angels, they have been healing our side nonstop. But now that Kayla has taught them how to properly control their healing magic, they didn’t waste too much mana for small wounds. And they also healed us in turn, so not all of them used healing magic at the same time.
At first, only about thirty percent of the angels here healed us. But after a while, that group fell back and the other thirty percent of the angels stepped forward and continued healing. As for the rest of the angels, they are for emergencies. For a more serious injuries, or if there are some other things they can do.
Even if their leader, the archangel Graham, doesn’t have much motivation to fight, the rest of the angels are willing to fight. I guess it’s just him who is the bad influence among the angels. If only another angel is their leader, I would never think of them as a stupid species of monster anymore.
That’s how the battle has been going on so far. But now, the enemy started to realize that we are stronger than expected and much more resilient. Just like the cult, the army we brought with us are also those who are prepared to die. But the hatred we have toward the cult is much bigger.
Albert, old man Henry, and Lynn are... well, probably it’s Claudia and not Lynn. They picked the army that will fight from those who have been affected by the cult. One way or another, they have a huge hatred toward the cult. That’s why they are prepared to die in this fight.
.....
For Tatrama’s army, well, there have been several stampedes that were organized by the cult. Some of the casualties might have come from the friends or families of the soldier. The same could be said with Varadis’ army.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot just anyone, but the crown prince, old man Henry’s own son, was teaming up with the cult. Other than him, there were many other people as well. Though I and Spot had killed a lot of them back when we first arrive at Varadis.
As for Consenza... I know nothing. But since Claudia said that it’s fine, I can just believe her. Though they are staying in the capital of Consenza to protect their empress.
That’s why we have higher morale than the enemy. Is what I thought.
But it will be difficult if they started to call monsters to help them. I don’t know if they have more summoners with powerful monsters, or tamers, or they would use the same method they used during the stampede in Cassau or other cities in Tatrama before.
That is why I will try to not participate in the battle as much as possible. It’s to reserve my strength against the possibility of monster attack, or any powerful mohawks.
The worst part is that there will be children with mohawk coming. And I must not try to kill them.
Since they haven’t arrived yet, I can rest easy and take turns with Elsie to watch the surrounding. Though she has longer turn than me.
But now, it’s about time. I won’t be able to keep watch for a while since the battle has been going on for a while. It should be time that the cult noticed that they won’t be able to do much, and they will try to escape. But we won’t allow it.
The vampires, werewolves, and I, will hunt all the cult to the very last. No one is allowed to escape.
“Elsie, stay here and keep watch of incoming enemies. I’ll be looking for those who are trying to escape,” I said to the eyeball monster.
After giving instruction to her, I run in the sky to chase after the escaping enemies. And when I chased after one, a werewolf saw me and chooses to stop chasing after the guy I’m chasing and went elsewhere.
I’m chasing after a wind mage who is flying in low altitude. For those flying higher, Spot will defeat them. He will eat them whole.
Spot who was baiting for the other artificial master level mage, has finally defeated him. Some parts of his scales have scratches, but he’s fine. The angels can heal him later since he’s still able to endure it. Though I don’t know if he needs one or not.
I chased after the flying guy, and passed him easily. It’s either because my speed has increased, or his speed has reduced due to the long fight with the others. Or maybe both.
And as soon as I got close to him, I thrusted Reizpear forward to stab him from behind. The blade of the spear comes out from his chest. It pierced through his heart.
I raised the spear with his body still intact, and swing it down to throw the body away. There are still some who tries to escape, but those who can fly has been defeated by Spot.
Now, the harder part. The earth mages trying to escape to underground.
They are quite far, but thanks to the help of our earth mages who noticed the enemies are underground, they can delay the enemies slightly. I can chase after them with a huge drill in my hand.
Oh? We have a summoner with us. That summoner has a giant mole as his summons. How convenient.
The giant mole chases after the earth mage that escapes underground. There’s no way they can be faster than a mole that can move well underground.
With its giant claws used for digging, the giant mole ripped the enemies into shreds. What a monster. And probably because we instructed our allies to wear visible purple cloth somewhere on our body, that giant mole has one tied on his head like a ribbon even though it’s a male. Is that its master’s preference? I think he will get along with Hill.
I also managed to kill one earth mage and another mage following him underground with my drill. It’s a powerful drill if the enemy is just an expert level mage. They should be at least at Kayla’s level of magic control so they can defend from my drill.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWell, it’s impossible to know about magic control in this time. I think there should be a few more years until someone studied it.
Still, if the enemy is too strong, even with weak magic control, we won’t be able to defeat them easily.
I come out of the ground and look for more enemies trying to escape. Seems like the enemies this time won’t just mindlessly kill themselves. Unless they are caught.
Their goal this time is to report to the other cult members who weren’t here yet about our attack. And of course, we won’t let them do that.
The werewolves and the vampires managed to stop those who are escaping and kill them. The werewolves enjoyed the fight as it’s what they life for. And the vampires enjoyed drinking the blood of expert level mages. The vampires will continue growing stronger in this fight. Even stronger than the werewolves. Maybe some of them will rank up. There will be more Vampire Dukes among them.
As long as the vampires have no intention in turning their fangs into us, it should be fine. They have become dangerous existence ever since they entered our world. We need to bribe them with more beautiful dresses and accessories. Should I go diving again after this?
Though I just need Carmen alone to stop all the vampires. Their weakness is water after all. They can’t swim.
Now I have seen it. I have seen where most of the cult members are running. It’s toward the north. That might be where their headquarter is.
After defeating all of the enemies in the fake village, I told the werewolves to trail the scent of the enemies and see if they came from the same place. Some of the soldiers from the combined army will come as well to scout. Only those with wind element magic.
“Everyone, good job. Now, let’s take a rest for a while until the scout returns. I doubt that’s the end of it. If you are injured, ask the angels for healing magic. But if it’s just light injuries like scratches, don’t bother asking for healing. We also need to save the angels’ magic because the enemy’s strongest forces haven’t arrived yet,” I said to everyone.
I asked the vampires to gather all the dead bodies in the fake village. They will be the source for the vampires’ strength. That’s why I won’t dispose of them first.
Just like that, the first day of our fight is over. We camped at the fake village while waiting for the report from the scouts.
