The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 535: They are Here

Unsurprisingly, I slept for more than twelve hours after the experiment. It’s good that Elsie is here, so she can watch over the surrounding.

But twelve hours during a war? At least there are no strong enemies coming yet.

I heard that there was one mohawk approaching, but that mohawk has been defeated by Celestine alone. That mohawk is not a child, so Celestine can kill that one without wasting much effort.

Still, the artificial master level children are not here yet. And they probably won’t just come on their own. There will be some adult artificial master level mages with them as well. Although they can be killed, if there are too many of them, it’s difficult to do so.

And right now, we are discussing the what ifs with the others. What if there are too many children? What if they won’t come here?

“If there are too many children, we will use the Noise Bomb where they are concentrated the most. The strategy is to gather as many children as possible in one area where the Noise Bomb will be activated. Within that twenty meters range, we will get as many artificial master level children as possible. And within that five or six seconds, Master will made them unable to move, and then Master will open a portal to where they will be caged,” Kayla suggested an idea.

It’s good that she has became so smart. Though I want her to be able to control her voice like this as much as possible.

.....

Even though she’s the youngest, no one thinks that she’s not suited for being a strategist. Everyone agreed to her plan.

This is war. Pride is useless here.

So what if you’re older, younger, a man, a woman, or whatever you are? Right person in the right place. That’s what’s needed to win this war.

“Also, about those children who retreated, Master can just use portal to where they are located using the Blobbies he has spread in the surrounding area to chase after them. That’s the best we can do at the moment,” Jewel said.

...And she’s such a slave driver. She knows that I’m her Master, right? I’m the one who taught her how to think in the first place. Although in the end she learned more from Kayla, she’s still calling me her Master. But is this how she gives instruction to her Master? I’m sad.

But that is a good plan indeed. Making me move on my own gives me the chance to do anything I want without caring about other people seeing me. Just in case the Noise Bomb is in cooldown, and the artificial master level children are too strong.

“Also, during the war against the artificial master level children, I won’t be able to give instruction well. It’s because my ears will be plugged and I won’t be able to hear anything no matter how good my hearing sense is. If you have anything you want to convey to me, talk to Victoria instead,” I said.

Using Blobbies, I can protect myself from the dizzying ringing sound of the Noise Bomb. But I won’t be able to listen to anyone talking as well. My lip-reading skill? Don’t count on it.

Though since Victoria is here now, I don’t need to mind how many Blobbies I used. Still, using two for earplugs was not enough. I need to cover my ears again with ear muffs or something that will make me completely lose my hearing.

I can still hear something, but it’s just the blood dlow in my ear. And that’s actually scary in a way to hear that for a long time. So, I hope I won’t have to wear them for a long time.

“Though there’s one more thing that disturbs me,” I said while we’re still in the middle of the discussion.

“What is it?” Victoria asked.

“So far, we can face the enemies here because the fake village is their destination stop before they can attack the capital. But what if the artificial master level children were told to go straight away to the capital without making a stop? They might ignore us and continue with their mission. And as we have talked before, one of the possibilities is that they won’t come through this way. If that’s the case, then the real battle can only happen in the capital of Consenza. That’s what we need to avoid at all cost,” I said.

“You don’t need to worry about that.”

All of a sudden, a ghost appears next to me and said that we don’t have to worry about the capital.

“Has Albert finally done it?” I asked Sonia.

“Yes. Since the final is coming soon, and the participants from Arturo has been defeated, Albert subdued the fake king along with his escorts. After that, Lynn made a speech to everyone in the capital about the truth behind the tournament, and how the kingdom of Arturo has fallen under the cult’s control. She asked the citizens to take refugee somewhere safe before the enemy arrives,” Sonia said.

“So, the capital is empty?” Celestine asked.

“No. Albert, Lynn, and Henry are all there with the others. The final will still happen because that is a way to make sure the enemy will target the arena while the citizens will stay at the capital and will move right away to safety once there are enemies coming. They can still watch the battle from the screen that was installed, but they can’t watch it directly in the arena,” Sonia said.

“...Doesn’t it mean it’s better for us to just stay at the capital and protect everyone rather than staying here?” one of the generals asked.

“That’s impossible. We can also delay the enemy from arriving at the capital or the arena as long as possible. Also, the citizens are people. Not all of them will believe what we say. And some of them might be cult members in disguise. They will tell the citizens that Lynn was lying and they will still roam around in the capital or even go to the arena. It’s difficult to get many people to believe you,” I said.

I think the real battle will be in the arena and the place around it. Angela and Shirley will be tired when the enemy arrives since they were in the middle of a battle. Maybe I’ll send Graham over there, so he and Kayla can heal the two of them right away once the enemy arrives. Good thing the angels have started listening to me now instead of following Graham all the time. Without Graham here, they will still follow my order.

According to Sonia, many of the citizens are staying in the capital. And only the soldiers and some hunters who didn’t care about the war watched the final directly in the arena.

Though Albert and the others are there as well as the bait. But with Kayla and the others protecting them, they are in safe hands.

In case they need to escape, Sonia will contact me and have them transported using portal. Also, if the enemies are children, Marie can just activate the Noise Bomb to delay them. During that five or six seconds, Kayla’s earth magic should be enough to protect them for a few minutes until I arrive if I’m not busy. And if she can protect them until the Noise Bomb’s cooldown is over, Marie can activate it once again.

We talked more and more about what happened in the capital prior to the final, and more strategy we needed to do. The enemy will surely come around this time, so we finished our discussion and get everyone rested while Elsie will keep watching the surrounding.

There must be a reason why they built this village here. One of the reason is because it’s right in the middle of where the cult members who will join the war are gathering, and the capital city of Consenza. Though it’s unlikely for that place to be the main base of the cult.

And even if they are artificial master level mage, they will need food and water to fill themselves. Although they can get rid of those things if they somehow managed to capture Victoria, I won’t let them.

After getting few hours of rest, at noon, Elsie finally sees something. And I also used Divine Vision to look at where she’s looking at.

There are several people with mohawk hairstyle flying in the sky. Some of them are children. And they are really going this way. If they keep flying straight, they will arrive at the capital. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Noᴠelꜰire

“They are coming! They have children as well! Make sure to attack them and gain their attention so they will stop here! Make sure none of them fly through to the capital!” I shouted before I cover my ears. From now on, I won’t be able to hear anything.

Those artificial master level mages are varies. Not all of them are children, so the Noise Bomb might not work on all of them. But they will still work on the children, so at least we can stop the children here. As for those who are not children, we can only hope that they will die. Either by someone here, or someone in the capital.

“One of the greatest sins the cult ever did is obvious. Child abuse. Look at how they force children to have such hairstyle. We have to save those children!” I said to myself.

I think someone is saying something, but at this time, I can’t hear anything. Well, I don’t think it’s important anyway. If it does, she will talk directly to my ear since one of the earplugs is actually her.

It’s time to give lessons to the children of the cult. Mohawk is not an ideal hairstyle for children!
