The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 681: A Long Chase

The ten people retreated. They even carried the injured members instead of leaving them behind. And that makes me think that they are not part of the cult. Since the cult members would prefer to kill themselves instead of leaking any secrets.

But their enemies this time are wolves. Maybe because the enemies are wolves and not humans, they don’t think that those wolves are going to interrogate them. That’s why they won’t risk their lives here. So we can’t tell yet if they are member of the cult or not.

While we are following those people, Victoria and Ray catch up with us.

“Roy, we’re going to follow them?” Victoria asked.

“Yeah. We can find their base this way. And even if they are thinking of stopping to heal themselves, they will surely return to where they can take a rest in peace. We will find out if they are members of the cult or not after we follow them,” I said.

We can still see the wolves are chasing after those people. But the wind mages, are boosting everyone’s speed. They are just slightly faster than the wolves. And it will take a while until they can escape from the wolves.

“Shit! They are too strong!”

.....

“Just one of them and we can’t even hit it! And now there are more of them! Let’s retreat!”

“They are just like in our world! Wolves are not monsters who moves alone! Even if the monsters here are stronger, doesn’t mean that they move alone!”

“Stop analyzing the situation and focus on retreating! Are they still chasing after us?!”

“We’re getting farther but they won’t stop chasing us. Just keep running until they are out of breath!”

Good thinking. But even if the wolves are out of breath and stop chasing after them, it’s all just an act.

I told the werewolves chasing after them to keep those people within their range of smell. Once they are far enough, the werewolves will chase after them from the air. Feel the terror of the flying wolves! Though they won’t attack those people yet.

The people being chased are not stupid. The earth mages and the ice mage keep raising magic wall to delay the wolves even more. And the earth mage even cause a small earthquake but the wolves are not afraid at all. So those people can only build wall or maybe moats to delay the wolves.

“That might be a good plan if they are not that weak. The walls are easy to destroy. The moat is too shallow. The earthquake only make other monsters wary of them. If only they are a bit focused when they raise the wall, the wolves would have been far enough to make them believe that the wolves are no longer chasing after them,” I said.

I can see the wolves easily destroy the Earth Wall and the Ice Wall. They are slowed down but not that slow. So the wolves will continue chasing after them for a bit longer.

“Are they still chasing after us?”

“Just keep running! They can smell our scent even from distance! Just keep running even after we can’t see them anymore! If we can get back to the base, we will have enough helpers to kill those wolves! Maybe even tame them!”

Nice! There are more of them. We have good information.

“You hear that? There are more of them apparently. Maybe the cult has started moving there for a while already and created a base. What do you think, Randy?” I asked Randy.

“That could be possible. But at least we know a few things. They are not alone and they are trying to tame a lot of monsters. Roy, be careful with your Divine Vision. Who knows if they have master level mage with them?” Randy said.

“Okay. Spot, when I see someone who notices that I’m looking at them, pretend that it was you who is looking and not me. This way, they won’t think that another human being is in this world,” I said.

“Okay. But can I kill them if they come after me?” Spot asked.

“You want to fight a master level mage that badly? That’s fine. But there could be more than one so be careful,” I said.

I don’t think that with the size of the mission they are in, taming as many monsters as possible, there could only be one master level mage. There might be more.

And also, what if the cult’s headquarter is in this world? And what if the Evil God is where we are going right now?

If a master level mage can notice that I’m looking at them, I will try my best to look at everything before that mage can see that humans other than them are here. I’ll leave everything to Spot after that and run away.

But if there’s only one master level mage, I can ask Spot to delay him or even kill him while Randy and I will infiltrate the base. And we’ll get the werewolves to guard the surrounding area.

There are only seven werewolves here. But I can easily get more later if needed. And I will tell them that there’s no need for them to hide the fact that they are werewolves. Which mean as long as there’s no master level mage over there, we can easily destroy the base. But it seems like their base is further than I expected.

We keep chasing them for hours. And I told the werewolves to stop chasing after them. I used portal to return them back to Monsters Village so they can rest. And I told them to prepare to move right away when I open a portal later.

Since it might be related to the cult, maybe the angels will help as well. That would be great then.

“Do you think they’re still chasing after us?”

“I don’t think so. But we have moved too far from the base it seems. I’ll wash everyone here with water and then we will continue. The wolves won’t notice us then if our scents are washed,” the water mage said.

Seems like there’s no summoner among them. Only tamer. Because if they have summoner, they can just open a portal to escape. But that’s only if they know about portal.

We followed after them to where they will take a break. But it seems like we’re going to wait until morning.

“Randy, I’ll return you back to the monsters village. Tomorrow morning when they make a move, I will bring you back here,” I said.

“Okay. There’s a high chance that we will engage in a fight. You also need to take a break,” Randy said as he entered the portal I opened. Of course I have explained to the werewolves that they won’t move tonight.

“I have rested enough yesterday. I can move around for a week without resting. I’ll be fine,” I said.

“...Aura users are amazing. The war back in the past must have been something special if they don’t care about night or day,” Randy said.

I close the portal and continue watching the group. Because they are too focused in escaping and healing the injured, they didn’t notice me at all who is on top of a tree right where they are resting. We can hear what they say here easily.

“Tch! Those wolves are too annoying! Even if the wolves here are stronger than in our world, the difference is too big.”

“We were getting too close to them. But if we’re too far, our magic can’t reach them since they’re too fast. There’s nothing we can do but to rest. Maybe we can ask for reinforcement after we return back to the base. If they know how strong those wolves are, they will be interested in taming them all.”

“Let’s rest for now. Take turn for the night watch duty. Except for the injured and me who is a healer.”

“If you’re just a level higher in your healing magic, we won’t have any problem with such injuries. How come you’re just a beginner level healer?”

And they started arguing whose fault was their failure. But that’s good. Just fight to the point that you’re killing each other. That will be great for me.

So far, they haven’t talked about anything cult related. And none of them have explosive devices in their mouth despite the fact that some of them are not even expert level mages. So I can’t jump into conclusion right away.

The earth mage then raised a wall in the surrounding area to protect themselves. I’m lucky that the tree I’m standing on is inside the wall. Or that they are too stupid to think about it.

So... I guess I’ll stay here the whole night. I’ll keep my eyes open until morning. But that would be boring. Still, there’s nothing else I can do.

Well, I’ll just chat with Victoria until morning. They can’t do anything inside this Earth Wall protecting themselves anyway. Though I won’t let down my guard.
