Chapter 312: Defeating Three Expert Level Mages Easily
"Hmm… there are still some Werewolves who roamed around here. Let's go further."
While we were riding on top of Spot, I checked the situation to see where we should check. And since there are still some Werewolves nearby, I asked Spot to go further away from the capital. If it's within one or two hours of travel with carriages from there to the capital, that should be a good hiding spot for the cult.
"Are we going to split up there?" Veronica asked.
"Yes."
"Then, I'll just get off here. I'll inform you through Sonia if I find anything." Veronica said, and then she jumped off of Spot's back and fly to the opposite side. She must be thinking of going to the other side.
"Then I will go as well! Good luck you two!" Angela also did the same.
With this, we can cover more areas.
"What about me? Will it be better if the two of us split up?" Spot asked.
"Then, let's do that. If you find anyone suspicious, like human is walking around in the night, or guarding some location, contact me through Sonia right away before attacking them. You know how to do it, right?"
"I know! I have seen it multiple times!"
After that, Spot continued flying to the same direction while I take off and started running around. Although running in the sky is faster, since I need to look closely, it's better if I run on the ground.
I look around the mountain area where I dropped off from Spot. There are some caves here, but most of them are occupied by some monsters. I don't need to care about the monsters now., but the humans.
Since it's close to the capital, if there are any humans who camped nearby, they are suspicious. But they might just be a normal travelers or hunters as well. Then, I just need to check their intention in camping there.
…though I haven't found anything. Well, other than some monsters who started chasing after me. But they are much slower than me so I don't need to care about them.
I wonder how the others are?
The group who will return to the city should be able to pass the guards easily. Although they can't fly, with Candy there who was a special agent, she can lead the others to find a way to enter the capital. Or maybe the princess herself knows a secret passage to enter the capital.
Maybe they used the ruckus caused by the Werewolves who trespassed to enter the capital. In any case, entering should be easy.
But what if they find something suspicious? I don't think any cult members inside the city would cause a ruckus inside the capital before taking down the country. They were so close in getting the country.
And even if there are some problem, they should be able to take care of themselves. Kayla, Jewel, and Candy have experienced sparring with expert level mages. Even Candy has fought one in a real battle back during the stampede. His name was… let's just call him the Mayor.
Though that fight ended with me who finished him, that was still a good experience for her.
And there's also Princess Julia who is an expert level mage. With so many Werewolves in the capital to help, there should be no big trouble appear.
As for those investigating and destroying the hut that was used as the hideout of the thugs who were hired by the cult… that was a long sentence. That place should be easy for Celestine to take care of alone. Especially knowing how angry she is. I wonder if her offer to be my lover in the future still okay?
Though I think the one going to the hideout will have some problem. And they might be the one asking for a reinforcement first. Once they call for help, I will go to Angela or Veronica and ask either one of them to help.
Oh? I found someone. Let's check on them.
There are some people, sheltering inside one of the caves under a hill. Three of them. All females? Maybe they are a party of hunters. Just like the one in Cassau, that… whatever. That party full of women.
Though when I checked further with my Divine Vision, I didn't see any of them have Hunter Card with them. I guess they are not hunters then. And they also don't have explosive devices inside their mouth. That's just make them more suspicious.
Let's see… the three of them are quite beautiful. Two of them have huge breasts and the other one has huge ass. Are they candidates to succeed Celestine's and Veronica's thrones? To be a leader of a faction? And they are all expert level mages?
Let's just be careful. Since they are not children, I guess it's fine if I kill them.
But how do I kill three supposedly expert level mages?
Well, they are inside a cave without anyone guarding the entrance. They must have high confidence in their presence detection ability. Or is it that they don't trust each other? And they are on guard with the other members?
In any case, I just need to destroy the hill they were under, and make them caved in inside that cave. Unless they have one earth mage, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Good thing the top of the hill is far from their range. I run on air and get there, while the three under the hill still can't detect my presence.
If Spot is here, destroying this hill should be easy. But I can do it as well.
I transformed some Blobbies into a hammer, and strike the hill over and over again. The sound should have reached the three inside the cave, and they must have felt slight earthquake from me pouncing from above them. But by the time they reacted, the hill is destroyed and they got trapped in the cave.
Seems like one of them is earth mage as they are still safe inside the cave. With her magic, it was easy to make a way out.
But I won't let them leave.
Just as soon as the way is opened, I was already in front of the newly made passage, and entered it.
The three of them noticed my presence when I stand in front of the passage. That mean the three are expert level mages as I expected.
If it's outside, there's nothing I can do to them other than escaping, but inside a closed space, there's no way they will use their magic randomly. That will be my advantage.
With my full speed, I entered the half-destroyed cave through the newly made passage, and instantly brandished my Blobbysword toward the earth mage and killed her in an instant.
"What the! Who are you!?" One of the women asked.
"I am Nin- oh right. I forgot to put my disguise. I guess you all will die tonight." I said.
Then, I quickly slashed at the other woman who is about to attack me and killed her in an instant.
I need some answer, so I can't kill all of them. I guess the last one will be kept alive.
The last one is a fire mage. I quickly used air magic to change the properties of the gases in the surrounding into a non-flammable one, and then using sleeping gas to make her faint.
But I guess that didn't work against an expert level mage. Or maybe she's also an air mage? I guess hitting her is the right way to knock her out.
I kicked her in her gut and broke three of her ribs. While she's in pain, I used portal to grab one Magic Restriction Collar from my room in Cassau, and put it on the mage.
"Ugh… who are you?" She asked.
"I'm the one asking questions here. Why are you with them despite one of the women I killed is from different faction? You and that one on the ground are from big breasts faction, while that dead lady is from big ass faction. Are you candidates to be the next leader?" I asked
"How did you know!? Don't tell me that there's another hidden faction in the cult!?"
Whoa, I'm right. They are indeed from the cult. That was still surprising even though I expected it.
"For now, go to sleep. I will interrogate you later."
I knocked her out with a chop to the back of her neck. I don't know if using sleeping gas will work on her, so that's the best solution.
"I guess I'll use portal to move her to old man's chamber. Since he's inherited his ancestor's love to big breasts, this should be okay, right? Let's show her cleavage more and write him a message before sending her."
The message was written on a paper though. Not on her chest.
It says to keep her for a while until I return.
After sending the cult member, I was about to continue exploring when suddenly, Sonia appears.
"Roy! Kayla and the others inside the city need reinforcement!" Sonia said.
I thought the one who would call me first would be Victoria. but turns out, it was Kayla.
"Alright, I'll send Veronica right away." I said.
"Not her!"
"Not Veronica? Then, Angela? Or maybe Spot?"
"Not her either! Get everyone! There's a chaos inside the capital! The rest cult members in hiding noticed that they are being targeted! Kayla and the others are fighting against two expert level mages, and there are some cult members who hide monsters in the basement of their house! The city is in chaos! Go back with everyone, including the Werewolves!" Sonia explained.
…what the hell?
