Chapter 650
Chapter 650: Climbing Gale Mountain
“You’re pretty fast even without magic,” Patricia praised me after I arrive soon after her.
“You’re wrong. I used air magic to direct the air pressure so I won’t feel it hit me directly and slow me down. And I still need some more training,” I said.
“Even though you’re that strong?” Patricia asked.
“We don’t know how strong the enemy is. That’s why until we face him directly, we can only get stronger,” I said.
“...No wonder Emilia lost to Angela. We have been living in this country in peace without any real danger. And we know nothing of the outside world. We don’t really have any motivation to grow stronger. That’s why after reaching expert level, most of the mages here thought that it’s a waste of time to continue cultivating,” Patricia said.
“I see. And those expert level mages, are all of them wind element mages?” I asked.
“Yes. Except for Emilia who improves her ice magic, everyone here cultivate their wind magic. That’s why for those who doesn’t have wind element, becoming advanced level mage is the best they can do. But now that I think about it, how did Emilia gain resources to improve her ice magic? Is it that cult? That means she has been contacting the cult for a long time already,” Patricia said.
.....
“Well, the Evil G.o.d exists since around a thousand years ago. It’s natural to think that the cult has been created since that time,” I said.
We still don’t know in what era the cult was officially formed. They have been hiding from public for a long time after all.
In my past life, around this time, Albert should have just somehow realized the existence of the cult. And only a few people were informed about this. At least that’s the rumor that I heard while I was busy attending medical school. Though at that time, I was busy with homework. So I don’t really remember much.
But this time, the existence of the cult was brought to light thanks to me. And we have much better progress in fighting the cult than in my past life. With our strength higher than before.
Though the cult’s leader is so secretive and we don’t know yet if what we have is good enough or not. What a pain.
“And that summoned monster. How can you summon more than one monster?” Patricia asked.
“Some fruit that look like a pear did it. Once a summoner ate it, the summoner can get extra monster whenever they raise up a level. I was lucky to found it while I was still a beginner level summoner,” I replied.
And it’s also thanks to knowledge of the past from Victoria. If not for her, I will never know the secret of summoner. Including the use of portal and travel to Monsters World.
“A fruit? Is it rare?” Patricia asked.
“It’s rare for you but not for me. Those who want it can only try their best to get my recognition,” I said.
If Patricia or someone else here is a summoner, they need to work hard to gain my trust. And at the moment, I can’t trust someone whose granddaughter joined the cult.
“I see... Anyway, this is Gale Mountain. And to reach the peak you need to climb while enduring the never ending hurricane. Only a few people can climb to the peak. Even if I’m a master level mage, it’s still difficult for me to climb it. And for the magic stones, we can only wait until the wind blow the magic stones away from there since getting inside it will be difficult,” Patricia said.
“Well, Shirley, what do you think about this place?”
I asked Shirley who is still riding on Ray’s back. She has been concentrating on something ever since we arrive here.
“...The wind is amazing. Unlike Andro’s back where the wind is powerful enough to lift his body, the wind here, although weaker, it’s still pretty strong. And the wind continuously blowing. I feel like cultivating here will be different than cultivating on Andro’s back. But both will give us wind mage amazing improvement,” Shirley said.
“Should I bring the other wind mages?” I asked.
“I think that’s for the best. We all can cultivate here for our training. Good thing the matter in Mellian is over already. They are either finding a way to train more or cultivate. Let’s call them here,” Shirley said.
If that’s what she’s thinking, I guess that’s true. Becoming even stronger than they are now will bring us more benefit.
So, who are the wind mages that I need to bring?

Well, Shirley is already here. Next is Veronica, Wendy, and Kron. Oh, and Angela might be interested in coming as well.
I opened portals to let Veronica, Wendy, and Kron to enter. Then I opened a portal to Angela’s location and ask her if she wants to come as well.
...Her face is still red from just looking at me. I guess she can come later.
“So, there are four of you now. What do you think of this place?” I asked.
“Andro’s back will improve our attack power due to how powerful his wings are. But for a long fight, I think cultivating in this place is better,” Wendy said. And as the most intellectual among the three, she became the representative because she can explain it better than the others.
If it Kron, he just said, “It’s great! It’s amazing!”
While Veronica just said, “Okay. This is nice.”
“By the way, that woman over there is a wind element master level mage from this country. If you need anything, just ask her,” I said.
“This little girl is? She must be so talented that she can become a master level mage,” Kron said.
“Talented she might be, she’s not a little girl. She’s a grandma. And her granddaughter was just arrested last night for cooperating with the cult and injure Angela to the point that she needed operation. That’s one reason why Angela won’e be here today,” I said.
“Wait, Angela was injured!?”
The three of them were shocked by that more than the fact that the woman in front of them is a grandma. Well, that’s natural.
Not only that, Wendy and Kron instantly become hostile toward Patricia. Though I stopped them before they hurt her.
As for Veronica, she was different.
“It’s just her granddaughter who was cooperating with the cult, right? Not her? After all, if she was with the cult, there’s no doubt that she would reach the same status as Celestine and I was. A faction leader. Though she will be the leader of little girl faction,” Veronica said.
“If there’s such faction, I would kill all of them right away.”
I accidentally leaked killing intent when I heard what Veronica said. And that makes everyone scared and tried to calm me down instead.
“Relax. That’s only if that woman is with the cult. I never heard of such faction before. Other than big b.r.e.a.s.t.s and big b.u.t.ts, the other factions are too weird and have too little followers so I don’t care. But I have never heard of little girl faction,” Veronica said.
“Good. At least the cult is sensible enough to not make that happen.”
Seriously. Making a faction like that with little girls? I think it won’t just be me. even some people in the cult won’t keep quiet about it.
Or maybe that did happen. And some members of the cult destroyed them instead.
Anyway, it should be fine. After all, Veronica was raised by the cult without anything terrible happened. There shouldn’t be anything like that.
“And so, you brought us here to see if we want to cultivate here, right? And also to introduce us to the master level wind mage here. Though since you didn’t kill her right away, I guess she can somewhat be trusted,” Wendy said.
“Yeah. And so, what do you think?” I asked.
“Obviously, we need to check the peak of the mountain first. There should be abundant magic stones there that we can gather. And it’s also great for our training as well,” Kron said.
“About the magic stones, I can see many of them were being lifted by the wind and rotate along with it. It’s like a non-stop hurricane that never move. There are more stones floating than those at the peak,” I said after checking with my Divine Vision.
“Whatever the case, reaching the top is what we need to do! I’ll be going first!”
With that, Kron flies into the hurricane first.
“...Although that might be helpful for us wind mage, we need to check the pace first. Let’s go there right away as well. Roy, if you mind,” Shirley asked me to do something.
I understand what she wants. She wants me to cut open the hurricane.
And I did it. Using Victokatana, I split the hurricane, and the wind stopped momentarily.
“Let’s go! Quickly before the hurricane restarted again! And avoid the falling stones!” I said.
Ray, and now with Shirley, Veronica, and Wendy on his back, flies toward the peak. And I followed behind him with Patricia who was still shocked with what she has just witnessed joining us later.
At the front, it was the surprised Kron who forgot what I can do. Though he’s still flying toward the peak.
Even with my Divine Vision, I can’t see everything here. It’s just too large. Though it’s weird that the peak of a mountain is actually a flat meadow.
Well, what can we get in this place? I’m curious if there are other thing than magic stones here.
