The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 626: Living Armor Made His Appearance

The monsters coming from the stampede are mostly goblins. Many of them are ordinary goblins that most beginner level mage could defeat easily, but there are some powerful variants of goblins as well. And they outnumber the hunters and the guards.

If the expert level mages are allowed to fight as well, it could be over soon. They can use a large-scale magic that would kill most of them, if not all, easily. But we are not supposed to help unless we are losing.

But the enemies are goblins. I don’t think there will be any need for us to join.

That’s what I thought until I see some more powerful goblin variants appearing. Though it’s not as if I have to participate.

We might get pushed back a little, but if there are any excellent mage here, even if they are just advanced level, they should be able to handle those powerful variants easily.

If there aren’t any excellent mage? Then the expert level mages have no choice but to participate.

But still, this is so many goblins. I have checked everywhere outside the city and only see green everywhere. Not the grass. But goblins.

.....

Now that I have looked around, let’s go back to Hill and asked him about the goblins.

“Hill, why is there so many goblins? Is the stampede always caused by goblins?” I asked Hill who is commanding his squad to fend off the approaching goblins.

“So it’s goblins this time, huh? The most likely reason is because of overpopulation. Their nest must have been filled with too many goblins so they left their nest looking for another place. And they found this city,” Hill said.

“Is this normal for overpopulation to be this much? If so, that means they have a really huge nest somewhere near this city, right? Isn’t it dangerous to leave it be?” I asked.

“Didn’t I tell you before how we couldn’t find anything? Maybe because it’s too far and too dangerous to go to for normal hunters. If it’s you though, I bet you can find it in a minute. Anyway, I’d like to offer a normal request to your clan after this stampede is over. To destroy at least a few nests of some type of monster,” Hill said.

“Is there other type of monsters that attacked this city?” I asked.

“Goblins are the most difficult ones. Because once they attacked, there will be too many of them. Each time they attack, there will be more of them. As for other monsters, there are orcs, wolves, rabbits, and mostly beast type monsters. But the orcs won’t attack us in huge number. And the rabbits would come with more numbers than the goblins. But they are easy to defeat. So, maybe I’d like to ask your clan to destroy the goblins’ nest and probably another monsters’ nest,” Hill said. The sourcᴇ of this content is ɴovelFɪre.net

Rabbits? Well, ain’t that cute to be surrounded by rabbits?

Still, if there are that many monsters’ nest nearby, isn’t this city always in danger? The stampede aside, if there are monsters’ nest nearby, they should have much more powerful monsters in the nest. If we leave them be, the city will be in danger of getting destroyed sooner or later.

I guess it’s best to contact Kayla and the others sooner.

“Hill, I have another suggestion. Once Kayla and the others come here, they will meet other hunters who wanted to be as strong as they are. And they will tell them that they can’t just wait for stampede to happen so they can get experience. I think it’s best for all the monsters nest nearby to be destroyed so the city will be safe. Kayla and the rest will do it. Probably we will ask some hunters to tag along so they can watch how strong they are. And they will show them that they can get stronger by fighting stronger monsters. Not fighting the same monsters all the time. That way, there will be less people hoping for stampede,” I suggested to Hill.

“Hmm... there will be less hunters coming to Mellian. But if there are at least one or two monsters’ nest left behind, stampede could still happen and the guild can still make new quests. And most hunters will get stronger as well if they started leaving the city. Giving us more strength to face not only powerful monsters, but also the cult. I think that’s a good idea. But we also need to be careful of those leaving hunters in case they meet members of the cult who promise them power. For me, I think it’s best if these hunters just stay here and wait for stampede to happen,” Hill explained.

Oh, wait. That’s right. The cult is annoying.

If they know that hunters are leaving Mellian to get stronger, they can approach those hunters and tell them that they can get stronger if they join the cult. That is annoying. Making more enemies for me.

“I’ll just get Kayla here right away. I’ll tell her everything and you can discuss it with her together with the lord. I’m not good at planning things like this,” I said as I left Hill to continue fighting.

I entered an empty house and opened a portal to get Kayla. Though some other people are coming as well.

“So, the common occurrence of stampede might actually work for us, huh?” Kayla asked.

“Maybe. Even in my past life, I have never heard of the cult trying to take over Mellian. Though they are strong enough to do so. It must be because the monsters near the city are too annoying. What do you think?” I asked for what her plan is.

But before she could answer, Candy spoke first.

“I’d like to say that there have been many agents investigating. Because we are suspicious if the monsters’ nests near Mellian are related to the cult or not. And even though we found where some nests are, we don’t know if it’s a good idea to destroy them or not. But my suggestion if we decided to destroy their nest is to let some monsters alive so they can continue wander around nearby. That way, the guild will still be able to make more requests,” Candy suggested.

“Well, I’d like to look around first before making plans. Is Ray available?” Kayla asked.

“He’s with Victoria looking for the battlefield. I’ll summon them after we left this house and I will swap place with them so I can be the one acting as the lliving armor,” I said.

Once we left the house, I opened a portal to where Victoria and Ray are hiding. Victoria will join Kayla and Ray looking for monsters’ nest while Candy will ask the agents staying in Mellian. The rest who were curious returned back to Cassau since they think that we are enough to take care of things here.

Now that I have heard from Candy, I guess I should take a look at the monsters’ nest as well. But later. Not now. There are goblins everywhere.

The hunters are doing well against the goblins. And after knowing that they are just goblins, they let down their guard and some of them were killed. How stupid. But that’s still not a reason for me to come out. It’s their own mistake.

Soon after, some powerful goblins five times the size of average goblins come out. The hunters and the guards were shocked. But the circus members, even though they are just advanced level, are doing so well. Their teamwork made them easily defeat those monsters.

Seeing how the circus members were that strong while they are at the same level, the hunters become motivated to continue fighting. I guess this side will be fine then. Those big goblins are the strongest here. Let’s move to another place.

This time, the hunters are in trouble. There were more powerful monsters here. Even though they have Burnes, some circus members, and some experienced agents as well, they have trouble because there are some goblins who can use magic to create barrier that can block all magic attack. I guess I should go.

Oh, wait. The expert level mage is making his move. And his magic is stronger than the barrier so he can kill the goblins easily.

After that goblin died, the rest was easy. I guess I don’t need to take part here as well.

I move around and returned back to where Hill is commanding. The goblins here are much stronger and even though the expert level mage is already helping, they are still in trouble.

So I come out wearing my full armor and moving around quickly while slashing all the zombies I can reach. I only move fast enough for everyone to see so they can spread the rumor.

The expert level mage who is also a circus member then shouted my introduction.

“That’s the living armor who stopped the giant salamander in Melk! He’s helping us!”

Well, thanks for the introduction. At least there shouldn’t be anyone stupid enough to attack me.

I killed the strongest goblins but there are still a lot of them. Since I have made my appearance, it’s fine for me to go around openly and kill more goblins. The rumor about me has been spread to other places as well who are still fighting the goblins.

With this, the stampede is over. There were some casualties, but we have done very well despite the expert level mages and I coming out later.

Next, let’s hear what Kayla need to say. I’ll wait for her to return.
