The Only Aura User In Magic World

767 Luring the Weretiger Out of the Magicless Area

“Did he find us already?” Shelia asked.

I used Divine Vision to see behind us and see the previous man was following us slowly. He’s not chasing us quickly. Just using the same speed as us to make us think that no one is following us.

“He can see us and is now following us. Just like you, his human transformation seem to be really good. If he didn’t notice us with his sense of smell, I would never thought that he’s a monster,” I said.

Back when he noticed us, it was because he was downwind. Our scents were being carried by the wind to his location. So he knows.

I’m sure it was because of the smell and not because he saw us or because he heard us. We’re making sure that we’re in a hidden spot and not making any sound at all. So it must be the smell.

And there’s no human who can smell another creature from far away. Unless they are Aura user who learned Aura ability that let their sense of smell get stronger. Or maybe a beastform mage.

But beastform mage can’t use magic here. And unlike Victoria, they can’t just transform into their beast form or hybrid form before entering the magicless area so their form will stay. It somehow doesn’t work that way for them.

I know that because one of the ten master level mages who joined us is a beastform as well. Though it was not his beastform that has reached master level. It was his taming element. And he also has an element that only reached expert level even after cultivating so long. That’s why he gave up on it and only focus more on his physical strength.

I don’t know what animal he’s transforming to. He didn’t even used it on the match against the werewolves. He only used his physical strength to see if he could be on par against a werewolf.

.....

The result was quite surprising. They were equal. Though the werewolf still won in the end.

That tamer asked the werewolf if he wanted to be tamed. But the werewolf refused. Unless it’s my order since I’m the king.

There’s no need to tame our own ally. It won’t increase the number.

Anyway, that tamer who was also a beastform mage entered this magicless area for the first time in his animal form. But when magic was blocked, he returned to his original human form. Different from Victoria who stayed in her last form she used before she enters. The most update n0vels are published on ɴovelFɪre.net

So, even if beastform mage who transformed into an animal with a great sense of smell is here, his sense of smell will be the same as average human’s sense of smell since magic can’t be used.

So, the one chasing us must be a monster that can transform into a human form. And since Shelia said that his scent is similar to the scent that remained in the abandoned village, he could be the weretiger we’re looking for.

He followed us while we’re moving slowly. We’re pretending that we don’t know that someone is following us.

And when we left the magicless area, the weretiger finally make his move.

He increased his speed and stopped in front of us to block the way.

He must be thinking that he can kill us easily if he can use magic. But he’s wrong.

As soon as he appeared in front of us, I quickly opened a portal to Monsters World, grabbed his head, and throw him into the portal. Then we entered as well.

...We have been going to the Colosseum in the Monsters World so many times in the past few days. I’m sure the werewolves are excited to see that Shelia will be facing a weretiger.

“...You noticed me and luring me here?” the weretiger asked.

As soon as I threw him into the portal, he transformed into his weretiger form mid air and landed perfectly on his feet even though I tried to get him land head first. He’s just like the cat-man. Or maybe even better since he’s a real weretiger.

Shelia might have some problem fighting him.

“Are you a monster who is under contract with a mage from the city inside the magicless area?” I asked.

“Why ask when we’re going to fight?”

“Just to see if this will be a deathmatch where we have to kill you or we can get you out of there and you can live however you want. Though if you’re under contract, I guess it’s normal for you to stay in that magicless area,” I said.

Since he’s in magicless area, he doesn’t have to obey his master’s order and can live freely.

Maybe there’s even a village full of monsters under contract who stayed there so they don’t have to obey someone’s order.

“I thought that I could defeat you in an instant so I don’t need to stay out for too long. Right now, the one who forced me to be under him realized that I’m out and ordered me to come to him. But he doesn’t know where I am so it’s fine. He will soon order me to kill anyone I see though. Or at least capture someone. Just like one of the two hunters I found today,” he said.

“I see. They are my comrades. And that’s why we’re investigating about you. I guess a fight to the death can’t be avoided. So, if you hate your master, tell us everything you know. As a reward, we will try our best to fulfill your wishes. I’m sure I can grant you your wish if you wish to die in battle. If you want to be free though, I can do that. But it will take time,” I said.

“Alright. He’s trying to force me to fight soon. Stop me so we have time to chat.”

I used the cane and drew a circle around him. Then I activated the barrier. This should be enough to last an hour at least. Though that depend on how strong he is.

I also called Albert and brought him here. This way, we know if the weretiger is speaking the truth.

And the weretiger tried to say everything. While trying to break out of the barrier I made.

Tamed monsters, just like summoned monsters, can use telepathy. And I think that the previous master level mage that the agents met should be at least expert level tamer. So he could contact the weretiger all the way here even if he’s not a summoner.

But telepathy works both way. The master can give order to their monsters via telepathy, and the monsters have to do it. But for the monsters, they can decide if they want to contact their master via telepathy or not. Though if the master force them to speak, the monsters will speak.

Once in a while, I also hear Shelia’s and Graham’s report when I didn’t summon them for a while. Hearing what they’re doing and what they found in Monsters World. And I don’t need to be the one contacting them first.

The weretiger told us that there’s an entire village of weretigers in the magicless area. But when he got tamed, he entered the magicless area so the master’s order doesn’t need to be obeyed. And it will be suicidal for the master to enter magicless area and confront the weretiger even if he’s a master level mage.

So, even though the weretiger is tamed, he still live freely as long as he’s inside the magicless area.

And after he got tamed, he told the other weretigers to leave the village and leave no trace so he won’t be able to chase after them in case the master ordered him to get them.

He knows that he can’t disobey the master. But once in the past, there was a weretiger who got tamed. But that one was lucky to lure the master to the magicless area and kill him.

Anyway, the weretiger is now living alone in the wild and only roam in the magicless area unless his master is killed. Though he left the magicless area once in a while when his hunting ground has no more prey. As for the city, he doesn’t know much about it. He only obeyed his master’s order.

“So, you don’t need to fight to death, right? We can just return you back to the magicless area and you can wait there until your master die. We also have a mission to kill anyone related to the cult which your master seem to be in. So sooner or later, we can kill him. I know I can because I’m already stronger than any average master level mages. And even if he has monsters with him, I have werewolves here who are following me. They are not tools. They are warriors,” I said.

“Well, that would be great. But I also want to fight a werewolf and see who is the stronger one. I can’t fight my instinct, you know. But I’m going to fight with the intent to kill. So don’t hold back!”

Sigh... is every monster with were in the name of their species love to fight so much? Can’t we all live in peace?

“Shelia, this fight might be hard for you to win if you hold back. Go all out from the start. If I see any one of you is close to death, I will intervene,” I said.

Well, the match can’t be stopped. So we’ll just watch them fight, I guess.

So many people loves to fight. I only love winning. Not fighting. I wish we can win without a fight.
