The Only Aura User In Magic World

That’s something that we can’t avoid. Because the cult has been preparing to destroy the world for a long time. While we just prepared to fight them back a quite a while after I returned back to the past.

And it’s not just Wendy who is worried. Everyone is the same. But they didn’t really speak about it. Pretending that everything will be fine.

Just like Albert for example. Well, he’s a king after all. If people see that he’s worried about something, then everyone will be worried.

So most of us pretend that everything will be okay. But I hope that they can talk to someone instead of bottling it up for themselves. Can’t have them destroy themselves.

I think most of them chose to strengthen themselves to avoid thinking too much. And when they reach master level, they will start thinking of other things. Like how they will live for a long time and how to spend their lives as they don’t want to continue fighting in a war.

Many kinds of thoughts entered their mind and just like Wendy, they will need someone to rely on. And for most of them, the person they rely the most would be me.

Well, not everyone. Since Kron doesn’t seem to care about anything. He just wants to focus on his adventure. And he will help us when we ask for help since he hates the cult.

I think he has a lot of friends outside the usual group. Maybe he’s talking to them instead.

.....

If they want me to listen to their worries, I’ll do it. It’s the littlest thing I can do to them.

After Wendy wakes up, we returned back to Cassau. Only to learn that it’s Shirley’s time to reach master level.

So quick. It wasn’t long when Kron became our strongest mage. I knew it was just temporary. But I never thought that Wendy would reach that level so soon after that without even having Breezy around.

Then there’s Shirley. She should be busier after she decided to help her brother with diplomatic problems. But she’s still managed to reach master level this fast?

Hearing this, instead of being disappointed, Kron was so happy.

“Then, I can compare my magic with both Wendy and Shirley. Especially with Shirley since we’re both also ice mages. Though I think she will reach master level in her ice element sooner than me,” Kron said.

No sign of disappointment at all. What a sportsmanship from Kron. I guess he never really cares about being the strongest. He just enjoys his freedom.

I guess since he mostly cares about himself, he doesn’t think about other people much. Though if it’s him, if he witnesses someone in trouble, he will still help.

“Okay then. I’ll tell Andro that we’re going there soon. Have you prepared yourself?” I asked Shirley.

Right after I returned with Wendy, she called me and told me to transport her to Cassau. So she’s right here with us now.

“Yeah. I’ll go tomorrow then,” Shirley said.

“Then get some rest. I’ll leave now to Andro’s place and tell the monsters to prepare to fight,” I said.

“Okay.”

I just left Monsters World. But I’m going back again. Though it’s because another person is reaching master level. I’m glad that’s the case.

So I told the monsters that we’re going to Andro’s back again to protect Shirley this time. And everyone is excited to hear it.

Thanks to the blacksmith, more monsters are well-equipped now. There are even some monsters who applied to be the blacksmith’s apprentice. It was really great that he can produce many weapons and armors quickly with his apprentices’ help.

The angels have new sets of armor and better spears. The elves have bows, arrows, and small daggers to protect themselves. And the centaurs got armors and lances. Though some individual monsters have their own preferences. So some centaurs have bows and arrows instead.

The horses also wear armor. Even Ray had one. But Ray doesn’t like it. So it’s only a saddle for him a saddle made comfortable enough for Ray to run with.

Having Blobbyarmor covering him is already good enough.

The next day, everyone is ready. Though the people here are much smaller in number than back when Kron was breaking through. But the monsters are all here on Andro’s back. Including the elves and the centaurs who decided to cooperate together.

So, the elves will ride the centaurs. The elves will shoot their arrow from the centaurs’ back, while the centaurs will focus on closer enemies.

Also, the arrows that the elves used were made by branches of some trees. And the elves can use their plant magic on the arrows they shoot. So even if the damage caused by the arrow alone is small, they can use their plant magic.

For example, they can grow a vine from the arrow that will bind the enemies. Or a poisonous flower can bloom from the arrow. What a cheat ability.

And they never miss their target. Even if they do and they about to hit their own allies, the elves will use plant magic to accelerate the growth of the wooden arrow. So that it will grow heavy and the trajectory of the arrow will change.

Plant magic is awesome. Even more awesome after they learned archery.

From what Tia told me, the Queen of the elves, this might be how the elves in the past fight. And when the method of fighting disappeared, the elves grew weaker. But now, they are almost comparable with other monsters in the village.

Though if it’s close range, even if they are more agile, they will still lose in the end. But they are happy enough with just knowing that they can help the master of their God’s master to destroy the cult.

Now, we’re protecting Shirley.

We have been doing this twice. And this is the third time. So we’re used to it already.

Though this time, there are more elves involved.

The centaurs and the elves will stay on Andro’s back. While other monsters will fight.

Angela is here because she wants to help her friend, Shirley. And because Angela is here, the others think that it will be fine even if they don’t participate.

Big difference between Shirley and Wendy. Where Wendy didn’t have other mages helping her. Just monsters. But I guess that’s natural. Shirley is in the position of someone who needs to be protected. While Wendy is in the position of someone who protects. So when Wendy breakthrough, there were no one who insists on coming. But for Shirley’s turn, Angela insisted.

And I even got a call from Albert himself to protect Shirley with my life. He doesn’t need to ask me that. I will do that anyway.

Angela, the werewolves, and the weretigers will spread out and fight any monsters. Andro is as usual, killing everything in his sight. Then, the elves on the centaurs’ back will shoot anyone who passed Angela and the others. The centaurs will watch out for other enemies approaching. As for the angels, they are spreading out to everywhere so they can heal those who get injured.

No master level mages helping. Not even the Summoner. But his familiar is here.

As for the tamer, he has tamed so many flying monsters. Though I’m sure he will help the next one to breakthrough to master level if they are not wind mages.

And... it’s over. It just took Shirley two days to breakthrough!

Yeah. Two days. Even faster than Wendy.

Right after she reached master level, she looked around and fight the monsters on her own. I don’t need to do anything here. All I did was bring in some food for those who are resting.

It didn’t take long for Shirley to kill the rest of the monsters. Then she went to Andro. I mean Andro’s head. Probably to say her gratitude for protecting her and allowing everyone to breakthrough on his back.

Then she returned.

“Alright, let’s get back! For a royalty to reach master level, it needs to be celebrated,” Shirley said to herself.

“You don’t want to keep your level as secret?” I asked.

“No need for that. The cult already knows that we are fighting them. And for our people, knowing that their princess reached master level, it will raise their morale instead,” Shirley said.

Has she been thinking of a plan like this? She also told me that if the cult learn of her achievement, there’s a chance that they will make their move in haste knowing that we just got stronger.

“Well, I always said it. You can think of a plan, and I will do it. It’s up to you and the others,” I said.

And so, I returned her back to Cassau first. I only brought her back to the royal capital the day after.

In the capital, I can hear that many people are talking about Shirley reaching master level. I’m sure the cult will hear of it soon.

I guess I’ll be her bodyguard during celebration then.
