Chapter 475: Calling Everyone
"…I can finally see the light."
"Don"t say it like you"re dying. Just say that you can finally see the surface again."
Victoria replied to my words. She"s right that I can finally see the surface. But it"s just slightly above the ground. Not even half meter tall from where I see.
"I can"t see much. Only some people"s feet. Anyone with foot fetish would be happy to trade place with me," I said jokingly.
"Good thing there"s no one with foot fetish here. Anyway, what should we do now?" Victoria asked the others.
"We haven"t finished checking everything under the ground yet. But if Roy can see that far already, if they have artificial master level mage out there, not the goo, then they would notice us soon," Candy said.
"Not really. They can sense me when I"m looking at them. Just like that mohawk girl back then. But before I looked at her, she never detected my presence. Probably like the Vampire Queen, Arin. Though in case I"m wrong, we need some plan. Should I get the others here now?" I asked Candy.
"Sure. Other than Veronica and Julia who might be busy in Varadis keeping eyes on the mohawk that you brought over previously, the others are free to come," Candy said.
Since we"re this deep underground, I hope the mages above the ground won"t be able to tell that I used magic to open up portals.
"Everyone, be mindful of the surrounding while I opened the portals. We have a lot of people to bring over," I said.
When everyone turns their back on me to watch the surrounding, I opened a portal. This room is quite big, so everyone can be here.
I opened several portals at one by one. Good thing we rested frequently since I have used magic many times already today.
On the first portal, Kron, Fabio, and Carmen entered the portal. They were at Bernard"s mansion in Arturo. All three of them wears Blobbymask to cover their ident.i.ties. It will be terrible if someone from the cult realized their ident.i.ties. Except for Kron.
Kron is wearing his trademark blue bandana he got after he turned bald from the cult member who exploded himself. I think that"s the main reason why Kron joined with us to fight the cult.
Since he"s a powerful and quite well-known hunter, even if the cult realizes his ident.i.ty, they will just think that Kron is hired by someone. He"s just a hunter who will work for money.
Hmm… but if he got caught, the cult might be able to tell that the other members of our clan are related to the mission as well. I guess it"s a correct decision to get him wear a mask.
"Alright, I"m here! Where"s the enemy!?"
Kron shouted as he entered the portal.
"Not here. Move aside. I will open another portal to get other people. This room is pretty big, but we can"t just get everyone enter the portal all at once," I said.
"Oh, sorry," Kron apologized.
"You can wait until I called the everyone to hear the situation. I"ll open the next portal now," I said.
After Kron, Fabio, and Carmen move out of the way, I opened the second portal. It"s connected to the capital of Tatrama where several of Albert"s men are ready to fight. Once they entered, Candy took charge of them and get them out of the way as well.
The third portal, I connected it to Ca.s.sau. Kayla, Jewel, Shirley, and Lina"s monsters, Sunny and Elsie, entered the portal first. After that, it was the vampires turn.
After we have scheduled the date of the raid, I gathered all the vampires back to Ca.s.sau to get them fight with us in this mission. With Arin in the lead.
They all have become our allies that we can trust. At least after they talked with Albert, Albert told me that none of them said any lies when they said they are willing to partic.i.p.ate. And I trust Albert"s decision to let them join.
Sophie and Lina didn"t partic.i.p.ate. Lina can"t fight, and Sophie doesn"t want to fight. They just stand on guard in Ca.s.sau. Protecting the children.
Seeing that we are all here, Kayla looked at the situation first and told those who came with her to move to the side. She knows that they are not the last one that I called here.
And then, the last portal. It"s connected to the Monsters Village in Monsters World. A group of angels and werewolves entered the portal.
"That"s everyone, I guess. Now that we"re in this place, I think we have quite the number. Candy, give the report of the situation to everyone," I said while taking out a bottle of mana potion so I can recover my mana slightly.
Elsie and I looked around to see the situation. Are there any other people inside the dungeon? How many enemies are above the ground? And if there"s another building in the surface.
Elsie can draw now after playing with the children. She loves drawing. And so, with one of her tentacles holding a paper, and another tentacle is holding a pen, she started drawing the surface area.
Seems like Kayla has given her the order to do this right away as soon as Elsie got transported. Elsie doesn"t care about the situation, but she will do everything as ordered. So is Sunny.
Well, in fact, all the monsters here don"t care at all about the situation. Only who, when, and where they need to fight. I also gather everyone here so they can tell that those who are here are not enemies, while other than us are enemies.
"Is that the map of the surface? Thanks, Elsie!" Candy thanked Elsie after Elsie finished her drawing.
There were several legs above the ground that I can see. All of them are human"s legs. I hope that"s the case.
If it ended up as some sort of monsters with the legs of humans, that will be scary.
There is also a building above. Probably, that"s the real lab of the Professor.
"How many people are there?" Candy asked.
"Around thirty. And we can expect them to be at least expert level mages with the possibility of some of them being stronger because of experiment. What"s our next move?" I asked after informing the situation above the ground.
"…Investigation will be difficult if the enemies are powerful. From now on, Roy will take the lead. Not me. The purpose of this mission is investigation, but if the Professor is here, we have to capture him no matter what. As for the rest, we can kill them. The building and any other stuffs above the ground, are allowed to be destroyed," Candy said.
So, we won"t grab any other doc.u.ments? Well, that"s make things easier. We can just destroy everything then. Though I think finding important doc.u.ments will be important as well.
"Okay. For now, Candy, Wendy, and all the agents, won"t fight unless it"s necessary. You will grab everything that seems important with you. Although finding doc.u.ments might not be our most important mission now, we might still be able to find something. Though our fight might cause a lot of them to be destroyed, so try to grab as much and as fast as possible. Celestine, how can we tell the Professor from other people?" I asked Celestine, the former member of the cult.
"He loves to wears yellow," Celestine said.
"…what?"
"He always wears yellow. Whether it"s his lab coat, shirts, pants, or even his hair, all of them are yellow. He loves the color yellow," Celestine said.
"…Any chances of him wearing other color to disguise himself?" I asked.
"There"s a possibility of that happening, but from the first time I met him, everything about him other than his skin is yellow. Even his hair. It"s too much yellow for my eyes. Try asking Veronica if there"s anything that she knows. I tried to not interact with him as much as possible," Celestine said.
I guess asking Veronica as well is necessary. But before I called Sonia, Candy already did and told her to ask Veronica about the Professor.
"Anything else other than yellow?" I asked Celestine.
"Nothing. Though if my guess is correct, if he can do it, he will try to change his skin color to yellow," Celestine said.
Wait, so if he still wants the Black Slime, he will try to change its color to yellow? Isn"t Yellow Slime a common monster? Easiest to kill? Maybe after he found out about the ability of the Black Slime after it spread inside human"s body, he tried to experiment with Yellow Slime. Though since they are monsters that can be killed, of course he won"t find anything.
Sonia returned with a message from Veronica. The content is mostly the same. But with an extra addition.
"Veronica said that the Professor loves the color yellow too much. Even if he tries to disguise himself, it will be easy for Roy to find him. And if he has the clone of Black Slime used on him already, Roy can just find him after looking at his inner organ," Sonia said.
"Oh, that"s right. I almost forgot about that. I guess we have two clues to find the Professor. The color yellow, and the Black Slime. If I find anyone with similar features, I will quickly go to his location. I guess just me and my familiars are enough. As for the rest of you, fight the other enemies. Let"s go!"
With that, we started moving toward the exit. We are close to the completion of this mission.. Things are moving well.
