Chapter 524: Getting Sara, Jewel, and Another Person Here

It’s finally the day of the final for the team battle. It’s between the team from Tatrama against the team from Arturo. Though the team from Arturo and the fake king doesn’t know that the real king has returned to the kingdom and got his son, Fabio, ascend to the throne.

Harold and Fabio are also busy making sure that no messenger can leave the kingdom. I heard from Sonia that anyone suspicious will be killed immediately. And if someone is using flight magic without permission, they will be hunted down.

That’s scary. I think if they see me running in the sky they will start to attack me. But what surprise me the most was the soldiers and guards of Arturo seem to be stronger than those from other country. They have triple the number of advanced level mages on their rank than the soldiers from Tatrama.

Not just that. Seems like Fabio’s brother who stayed behind in the capital of Arturo the whole time, is making sure that most soldiers can be trusted. I think that Toni might be a better king than Fabio, but seems like he refused that offer and only want the position of the Prime Minister.

Toni carefully spread the rumors that the king has been swapped by someone from the cult, and the real king will return to capture the kingdom back. And Toni managed to get as many powerful soldiers as he can to join his cause. So, when Harold and Fabio returned to the capital, he can send the soldiers to help them right away.

I think if Toni helped us with the plan to destroy the cult that we’re doing right now, he can do much better than we are doing now. But he’s too busy with just one kingdom and can’t help us right now.

Anyway, Toni is sending the kingdom’s army to take care of the cult members inside the kingdom. And how they can somehow stopped the information about the real king return to other people outside the kingdom means we still have the upperhand. Though once the information is known to the fake king, the tournament will be canceled.

.....

Well, I will leave everything that is not happening here to the others. They can do better than me. I can only fight. Though I need to hear the latest information so I can tell if the cult is completely destroyed or not.

Today, I’m scouting on my own. Since we received information from the three men that Arin charmed about how the next wave should be coming today, I move on my own to scout the enemies. Moving alone means I will be much faster. Although I can get Spot to come with me so we can move faster, I chose to be on my own instead. This way, in case monsters with high detecting skill can detect me, I can disappear on my own instantly using portal. If Spot is with me, I need to talk to him first and our disappearance will be delayed even if it’s just one second.



But if I move alone, once I see that there are monsters that can detect me, if I disappear in an instant, those monsters will think that it’s just their imagination.

Why am I confident that the enemy this time will bring monsters? Because of the three men Arin charmed.

Arin didn’t ask them about the next enemies that will come when she met them the first time. But since those three ended up getting captured, I had Arin asked them again about the next incoming enemies. And they said that most of those who came are tamers or summoners who will bring monsters. There are no other mages other than the tamers and summoners. That’s why they were refused to join them. Or more like those three didn’t feel safe being surrounded by monsters.

Anyway, I am going toward the direction they came from. They said that there are huge and slow monsters, so their arrival should be delayed. That mean I might be able to transport Sara and Jewel first since the final of the team battle should be done before they can arrive.

Why would they send monsters today? My guess would be to distract those protecting the capital. Those monsters might be disguised as a Stampede and cause problem. Well, either way, we just need to kill them all first.

Since they are monsters, most of them might have been modified so much that they lost their mind and can only follow their master’s order. Which mean that even if we killed their tamers or summoners, those monsters will still attack us. And we have to kill every single one of them.

If there are monsters with high magic resistance, it will be a trouble for the mages. But we also have monsters who excel in close combat. We can leave those who have high magic resistance to the vampires, werewolves, or even angels. Though I still need the angels to do the healing instead.

Still, it was very annoying when we heard from the three charmed men that they also don’t know where the cult’s main base is. And those monsters and their masters only gathered where they were told to.

I always though of myself as a coward. Well, most of the time. But seems like this Evil God is much more of a coward as only very few people know of his location. Just where is he hiding!?

I continue my search and finally I can see a huge mountain is moving. And of course that is not a mountain. That’s a huge monster. That’s the shell of huge tortoise. It’s a species that can hide itself by camouflaging as a mountain. Which is why there are some old stories about moving mountains. And we will face them soon.

I can see the mountain is moving, but my Divine Vision still can’t see the monsters coming. I need to get closer. But if they have a werewolf that has its smelling sense enhanced though experiment, they will find my location soon.

Well, I can just wait for them here. Their marching speed is slow, so they will only be able to reach the fake village soon before the sunset. They must have thought that nothing is happening in the fake village, and they should be able to rest right before it’s dark. But they are wrong. The battle will happen until night and they won’t be able to rest.

I waited for them while covering my body with the smell of some flowers I found on the way. With this, I should be able to cover my smell. Though if they have an All-seeing Eye, I won’t be able to hide myself. Though by now, my vision is about as good as an average All-seeing Eye, so unless that type of monsters have been modified, once we see each other’s position, I can just disappear using portal.

I also covered my body with Blobbies and disguise myself as a rock. A rock with the smell of a flower. This way, only All-seeing Eye or any other monster with see-through ability can see me.

I waited for ten minutes, and I can finally see most of the monsters. Luckily, there are no All-seeing Eye at all. So, once I see most of them, I retreated back to the fake village using portal safely without anyone noticed me.

As I appear in the fake village, everyone greeted me.

“How is it?” the General from Tatrama asked.

“They are slow, so they should be arriving before the sun set. The battle will most likely happen during the night. I think it’s best to rest for now, while adjusting one of you eyes to the dark. It’s just one of the method to see better in the dark. Wearing an eye-patch like a pirate so one can fight in the night. It’s just an idea though. We might still fight them before dark,” I said.

They informed the news to the others. Some wore an eye-patch right away, some didn’t. I also told the angels to not use magic that give light yet. Once the enemies have gotten used to the dark, we can paralyze them with the light from the angels. Though it may not be a good idea if any of the tamers or summoners have light element as their second element.

In the afternoon, Sonia finally appears to inform me that the final is over. Although there were some challenges, Kayla and the others can win with just slight injuries. And now that Jewel and Sara’s injuries have been healed, I can transport them here.

I opened a portal after Sonia told me that they are in a safe location, to see three girls entering the portal instead.

“I’m bored. I didn’t get to fight in the team battle, and for individual battle, it will still be a few days until it’s my turn. Let me fight here. At least for this battle. Then, you can return me back tomorrow. I already received approval from Kayla, so it’s fine. I will also wear disguise.”

“...Thank you for coming, Angela!”





With her here, our strength increased manyfold.

The plan is to let her and anyone participating in the tournament to only focus on their battle. But boredom brought Angela here. And since she has received Kayla’s approval, it should be fine.

With Angela here, dozens of monsters will be defeated in an instant. Our victory guaranteed.
