Chapter 550: The Battle is Over as I Was Covered in Enemies’ Blood
The battle in the last base. Once we have taken care of the enemies here, we can rest easy. At least the rest of the battle in the capital and nearby places should be easier than here. Unless the cult went all out and bring their real master level mages, which I doubt they will.
When we were interrogating Iris, or let’s say it’s an interview to get her to join us, she told us everything she knows. Unlike other cult members or artificial master level mages, she doesn’t have any loyalty to the cult.
Rather than loyalty, she doesn’t even have any good impression to the cult at all. That’s why it’s easy for her to tell us everything.
She told us that there won’t be any master level mages coming. Unless those master level mages come on their own volition, which is unlikely. There were too few of them and they seem to be too important for this mission.
But that’s also dangerous. Why would someone as powerful as master level mage won’t partic.i.p.ate? Just what kind of important job are they doing?
If they just let one master level mage to do this mission of killing the kings, they would have succeeded already. Just why?
Iris was just lucky to see one master level mage other than the Archbishop. She was tasked to protect that mage during her breakthrough to master level. And right after that woman broke through, the Archbishop visited her and took her away. Iris said that they would visit their master, which is most likely the Evil G.o.d himself.
.....
After that, she never saw her again. Other than the Archbishop, she never met any other master level mages than that woman. That’s why she concluded that they have important mission to do and it’s unlikely for them to be here.
Though once the news of an Aura user was spread, they might make a move. I need to grow even stronger. And I will use this war to do so.
Be stronger. Be faster. Be more precise. Be more elegant. Well, that last one might not be necessary.
I need to improve my... everything. My long distance slash needs to reach even further distance and be more powerful. I need to train it here.
Good, there are five artificial master level mages standing close to each other. I’ll see if I can slash all five of them right away.
Using Victokatana, I slashed horizontally to see if I can reach all five of them. But because the distance is quite far, the power diminished greatly.
All five of them got hit, but it was too weak. It’s like a tap of a finger instead of a slash. I need it to be able to kill them all.
“Roy, you are more proficient in using a spear. How about trying to pierce multiple enemies with one thrust? I think you can do that. Once you perfected it, you can try slashing again,” Victoria suggested.
“Got it,” I replied.
Victoria also told me that it’s best to use this chance to get stronger. The cult might have send all their artificial master level mages, so they are currently the best training partners that I can kill. And they are only weaker than master level mages. Not counting our mages who can surpa.s.s them thanks to learning magic control.
And there are still over five hundreds of them. I can practice as much as I want. Though the others will still kill them, so I need to get as much chance to fight as possible before they can kill all of the mohawks.
I moved to another place so there will be some enemies in a straight line that I can target with my thrust. I used Victoria as a spear this time instead of using Reizpear.
Reizpear is a good spear that can repair itself no matter how destroyed it was. But Victoria or Blobbies can transform into anything I want.
I first used Reizpear because I can’t get another person’s support during the awakening of my ability even if they are my familiar. The Divine Vision I got after killing my first All-seeing Eye. And I got attached to Reizpear since then.
Maybe I need to get some better weapons. That will help me getting stronger. But do I have time for that?
There should be a gap from the report that we stopped their attack, until the reports of it. Probably a few days. I’ll try asking the kings if they have magic weapons in their treasure rooms. I will ask them to get their people to collect weapons as well from all over the continent. Anything is fine. Sword, Spear, Bow, Axe, anything. If they are some sort of magical equipment, I will be able to at least fight a master level mage on level ground. I hope that’s the case.
Maybe some armor as well. Just anything is fine. I will also look for them myself. Probably under the sea or somewhere that other people won’t be able to go.
That’s for later. To be able to do that, I need to defeat the enemies here as soon as possible so I can have more time searching. But I also won’t let this chance of growing stronger be. So difficult.
I thrust Victospear and as Victoria said, my thrust is better than my slash. I managed to pierce through two enemies at once. The third person moved before I attacked, so he dodged it luckily. And there are no other people in a straight line.
“As I said, you can use spear better than other weapons. But that’s still not enough. We don’t know how powerful a master level mage is. But let’s say that they are as strong as the Evil G.o.d when he killed Sonia, me, and all the Aura users in the world back then. You are still not strong enough to defeat a real master level mage,” Victoria said.
“Was he a master level mage?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Even back then, master level mages are rare. I think you are much stronger than most Aura users, but even the most famous Aura user back then still died. Just be careful,” Victoria reminded me.
“I understand. After we finish this battle, I’m thinking of looking for magical weapons. Reizpear is good, but it’s not strong enough. Other than my own strength, I need external strength as well like weapon or armor,” I said.
“What!? You had enough of me? After everything we went through?” Victoria said jokingly.
“Is it the time for joking around? Well, you are far too important to let go anyway. There’s no way I would abandon you. I just think we need more weapons to get stronger. An entire a.r.s.enal for myself,” I said.
“I actually thought of the same thing when Marie and I were working on that Noise Bomb. I have asked Marie to create some powerful melee weapon if possible. And I asked Sonia to look around for some weapons she could find if she’s free. Though even if she find some, those weapons should be at least a thousand years old. They might not be as good as they were in the past,” Victoria said.
“I know. I just think that the more we have, the better chance we have in destroying the cult. Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”
“Because I’m too important to you. I’m a convenient woman for you,” Victoria replied.
Well, she’s right. I thought that I had enough with just Reizpear and Victoria. And after Victoria able to create clones of herself, I also didn’t bother to get throwing knives as well.
Thinking of new tricks is also a way to get stronger. I need to add more list to my Shameless Survival Arts.
By the way, it has been three hours since the battle in this base started. And there are already less than three hundred of mohawks left.

Although everyone seems exhausted, they still go on and fight. I think in another hour, we should be able to kill the rest of them. That mean I won’t have any more chance to practice.
“Let’s increase our pace. This time, I’m training to improve my technique. I need to be fast and precise,” I said.
Using Ostrich’s Footwork, I moved quickly and killed many mohawks as I pa.s.s them by. One mohawk with one slash or thrust. More mohawks if possible with one slash.
I think this suits me more than the previous method. I’m a speed type instead of power type. But that’s not enough to defeat master level mages. I need to be fast and powerful.
I was too focused in my fight that I didn’t notice everyone else stopped fighting and watched me as my Victoriarmor is covered by the enemies’ blood before Victoria can absorb the blood.
When I’m done, there are no more mohawks standing. Just me in the middle of the mohawks’ corpses. And everyone is watching me with fear in their eyes.
“...Roy, that was too much. They should be happy that the battle is over, but now they are frightened by you,” Victoria said.
“I guess I was focused too much in my fight. Well, at least we’re done here. Let’s check the capital soon,” I said.
It’s finally over. I want to go home and rest. But I can’t. I need to prepare myself against the cult’s master level mages after cleaning up the mess at the capital. What a pain.
