Chapter 407: Three Days After The Fight
Finally, the archangel wakes up. After staying in coma for three days!
"Uh… I lost?" Graham said as he slowly regains his consciousness.
"That"s right. Now, you have to keep the promise. You will make a contract with me and become my familiar. This way, I will work you to the bone."
For the werewolves, I don"t have to give them this order. It was because they love fighting. And partic.i.p.ating in the war is something that they wish for. Other than for the sake of saving the world.
But for the angels, they are lazy, and stupid. That"s why for the last three days, I have been busy.
"I see… fine, I"ll do it! But do you really want a familiar who is weaker than you?" Graham asked.
"I want an army. By making a contract with you, I can have the other angels to be under my control. Their teamwork is terrible, that"s why I"m thinking of getting them learn to fight. I"ll ask the werewolves so they can fight and gain some experiences," I said.
"The werewolves…"
"I will also make sure that you guys are used to seeing girls with revealing clothes. You will see them a lot in our world."
Hearing that, Graham blushed hard. His cheeks are as red as tomato. If he"s a girl, I would say that"s cute. But he"s a man, and seeing him blushing that red just from thinking of seeing girls showing their skin is disgusting.
After getting his confirmation, as the loser, he kept his promise and let me make a contract with him. He is my p.a.w.n now.
"Nice to have you around. I will introduce myself formally now. My name is Roy. A human. I"m also an air mage, a summoner, and an Aura user. You have met my two contracted monsters. The Black Slime, Victoria, and the female werewolf, Shelia. By the way, I am also the king of the werewolves after defeating the previous king."
"…no wonder you are so strong. You defeated the previous Werewolf King. Anyway, I"m Graham. An archangel and the leader of the angels in this place. I have some questions to ask you, Master."
So, he"s going to call me Master? That"s fine.
"What is it?"
"What is Aura?" Graham asked curiously.
I suppose he"s curious about it. If he"s like Grandpa Werewolf, he would have various means to fight me. But he didn"t. He only relies on his technique and magic.
I can answer his question, but that will take a while.
"Are you sure that"s what you"re going to ask me first? Even though you have been in coma for three days after I smashed your head to the ground?"
"It"s been three days! Oh, no! What about the angels!?"
Graham run out of his room he was resting in, and take a look outside. There, he saw that everything is normal. Except for the few people that I brought here with me to help recovering this place after getting destroyed by Andro.
"After defeating you, all the angels are afraid of me. They have no choice but to do what I told them to do. So, as for the first step, I told them to work together and recover this place they live in. I know the potential that you angels have. That"s also the reason why I still choose to have you as my familiar. If you were slightly weaker, I will refuse to have anything to do with you lot," I said.
"…so, our existence can go extinct if we were slightly weaker, huh? That"s just sad."
…I didn"t say that. But as expected of an angel, he decided to have his own way of thinking.
"But you didn"t use your full strength, right?" I asked.
"How did you know?" Graham was shocked to see that his secret has been found out.
"Just a guess. Anyway, it"s time you show yourself to everyone."
I let him meet the angels on his own. And soon enough, all the angels here are coming to meet the archangel who has made a contract with me. Some of them cry as they realize that their freedom has gone. Am I such tyrant?
"Now that everyone is here, I will tell you all why you have to follow me. The world is in danger."
I started explaining to them that the cult is aiming to destroy my world, and this world afterwards. It"s difficult to explain to someone who keeps having their wild imagination run free. It was far easier when I explain things to Angela.
After they finally get that the world is in danger and I"m recruiting army, with the help of Graham to persuade them, the angels agree to help. Whether he was forced by me or not doesn"t matter. What matter is the result.
To get the angels used to the fashion sense of the werewolves, I brought over some werewolves. Though I had them wear something that doesn"t reveal as much as their usual clothes. But some of the angels are still too shy to see them. It wasn"t that bad, was it?
Though we have already gotten the female angels" cooperation since they are interested in our world"s fashion sense. I just need to bring the girls here.
"Okay, now that everyone knows what will happen in the future, I need you all to learn how to fight. I know you are strong, but you are too stupid. That"s why you will have to fight the werewolves regularly. I"ll take you all somewhere you can meet regularly. Does the angels need to stay in this cloud that keeps moving?" I asked.
"No. We stayed here so we can live in peace without having to get bothered by other monsters. We can live anywhere," Graham said.
"Good. Then, I want you all to move to the settlement that we built. It"s a place where the werewolves and the elves are living in harmony. Hopefully."
I don"t know how they"re doing since I haven"t returned there once since we finished with getting the water source closer to the forest. I hope they are fine.
"Will it be peaceful there?" one of the angels asked.
"There will be no real peace until the cult is destroyed. What? You want to live without doing anything while knowing that danger is approaching? I know a place where you can do that. Though once the cult started to invade this world, you have no choice but to die since you will be too weak to fight against them. Those who wants to let their beloved die, raise your hand so I can move you somewhere peaceful until that day."
After saying that, the angels were too ashamed that they are thinking that peace is an easy thing to have. None of them raised their hands. At least that means they have motivation to defend themselves.
What should I do? Should I build a new place for them to live? Or bring the whole cloud over there. I guess bringing the cloud is easier. I"ll ask Spot later.
Wait, maybe it"s best to just ask all the angels to move the cloud together. It will also improve their teamwork.
Then, how should I attach this cloud to the ground? Maybe I"ll ask the elves to grow a tree and put the cloud there.
I will let Kayla and the others take over. Seems like the angels are too scared of me. It"s best to let Kayla do the rest. What a wonderful woman. At least this way, they won"t think that all humans are scary. Just me.
"Graham, you"ve been sleeping for three days. Go get some food, water, and rest. I"ll talk to you again later," I said.
"Understood. And after that?" Graham asked.
"I said it before. I will talk to you later. Don"t make me repeat myself."
I hope there"s a way for them to get smarter.
As I was finally alone, I jumped to the highest peak in this place and start thinking of what to do next with the angels. What training will be good for them, and how powerful Graham really is.
Three days ago, Spot was watching me fighting Graham. And after that last punch, he undid his camouflage and scares everyone here. And he said to me that he didn"t think that Graham used his full strength during my fight. And Shelia added that there"s another smell coming from him different from that of angels.
And I believed them. Although at that time I was still hesitating whether I should make him my familiar or not, after hearing about Graham from the two, I decided to take the gamble.
Will he be much stronger than during our fight? Or that"s just our a.s.sumption and he"s that weak?
But the person himself said that he hasn"t gone all-out.
"Roy."
When I was still thinking, Spot called me.
"What?"
"Do you think that you can really change them into warriors?" Spot asked.
"I hope that"s the case. The werewolves are true warriors. They will teach the angels to fight."
"After watching you fought them, I was disappointed seeing how weak they are. But I guess you see their true potentials, right? Enough to convince you to make a contract with the archangel," Spot said.
"They could be as strong as the werewolves. And with healing magic, I have an army of healer who can fight. This is also a trial for me. I guess I"ll be a teacher again," I replied.
Although I want the angels to learn how to cooperate with the others, once the war started, I am thinking of sending them separately. With their healing magic, they can be an addition of other groups or going on their own.
I don"t think that they are cowards like the elves. They are just stupid.. And it"s my job as their master and their boss to teach them.
