Chapter 360: Quickly Taking Care of a Business in the Capital
Chapter 360: Quickly Taking Care of a Business in the Capital
They took Jewel to the bench after she was defeated by Angela. I'd like to continue watching until the final is over, but I can't do that.
Why? Because Sonia returns with a grave news.
"Roy, the capital is under attack. Hector is captured and unable to use the ring to contact me because he was tied up. It was luck that you sent me there just in time. Seems like Hector and his people will be used as hostage to threat Albert. I told Ian and Ruby to be careful before coming here," Sonia said.
"What the fuck! Oi, waiter! Come here!" I called the waiter who is one of the agents.
"Can I help you, customer?" the waiter asked.
"Yes. Spread the news that the capital is under attack, and gather everyone who is free in the hotel right away. I'll meet Albert to tell him the news, and I'll transport everyone to my mansion in the capital," I said.
Hearing the news, the waiter quickly leaves the restaurant despite the boss of the restaurant, who is just a normal man, shouting the name of the waiter.
I quickly leave the restaurant and go to Albert's location with portal while making sure that no one saw me.
Albert and Marie were looking up when I appear. He knows that I'm behind him, but he's still looking up. And so are Kayla and the others. They must be looking for me.
"Albert, the capital is under attack. Your Prime Minister is being held and tied up. I'll go there immediately while bringing several agents with me," I said.
"Take care of yourself and finish it quickly. You want to watch the match between Kayla and Angela, right? I'll delay the match as long as possible," Albert said calmly even though his wife beside him looks panicked.
"You don't have to do that, but okay. It will be best if you can make the stage bigger. The two can go all out in a bigger stage. Then, I'll look for Candy to bring her with me. Spot is busy taking care of the monsters outside the wall, and I told Sonia to get Spot accompany you while I'm gone after he's done with the monsters. Then, see you later," I said to Albert as I leave his side.
Candy is somewhere in the audience, looking for any other infiltrators among the audience. That's why I can't use portal.
When she saw me, I waved my hand and gestured to her to meet me.
"What's wrong, Roy?" Candy asked.
"Trouble in the capital. Let's go back to the hotel. I told someone to bring agents who are free to meet me in the hotel. I'll take them and you to my mansion in the capital, and you need to ask Ian if anything happened. As for me, I'll go back to Cassau and bring Veronica with me," I said.
"Okay. Let's go," Candy said.
I used portal to take us to the hotel where it's already filled with about twenty people. Most of them were the participants of the tournament who have lost previously.
I just opened a portal for them and let Candy do the explaining to them. Then, I opened a portal to Cassau where Veronica is already prepared. Seems like Sonia is quick to tell her.
"Roy, I'm ready," Veronica said.
"Good. We'll be transporting directly to where Hector is being held."
We then transported to where Hector is being held. The two of us were prepared to attack anyone there, but seems like other than Hector and few other agents, there are no other people.
But with my Divine Vision, I can see that some people noticed us suddenly appear and coming our way.
"The Royal Palace can be rebuilt!" Hector shouted as I took off the cloth covering his mouth.
Hearing that, Veronica instantly used a highly destructive wind magic that destroy the area where the assailants are. I also pointed at where those assailants are that Veronica can't sense because they are too far.
Then I quickly grabbed the hostage and use portal to my mansion in the capital where Ruby is helping the injured agents.
I left Veronica in the palace. She can handle herself.
I continue looking and see that most of the bad guys don't have explosive devices in their mouth. I guess the cult is sending expert level mages now because this kingdom is too hard to conquer.
In my mansion, Candy and the agents I brought have gone. They split up and fight the expert level mages in groups.
There are about ten expert level mages, and three of them are in the palace. Veronica is fighting those three by herself.
As for the other seven, another three are fighting three groups I just brought. The other four are capturing the nobles and killing the civilians. Good thing they are separated. I'll take care of those four by myself.
First is the two who killed the civilians. One of them is earth mage. He killed the people with Ground Spike and happily laughed like a mad man.
With my fastest speed, although I'm still slower than Spot, I sprinted toward his direction and stabbed Reizpear in his chest. To make sure that he died in an instant, I used Victosword in my other hand and sliced his neck. One down, three more to go.
I couldn't save the people here since he has killed everyone, but it's no time to mourn. And there's no point in mourning for the death of strangers. I'll mourn after the cult is destroyed.
Next is a woman who killed the civilians. She's also an earth mage. I killed her the same way as the previous earth mage.
Why is there more earth element expert level mage in the cult than other elements? The cult must have a good source to get earth element magic stones.
Two more to go.
These two are grouped up while I killed the other two. Now, I have to face two expert level mages on my own.
"Roy, you seem like you're in a hurry. Do you really want to watch Angela and Kayla fight so much?" Victoria asked as I was watching the two expert level mages left.
"Yeah. They are the two friends I made soon after returning to the past. Not including you obviously. And one of them is my lover now. I want to see how much they have progressed already. Their fighting styles are different, so it will be interesting to watch. Even I who got bored easily want to watch their match so bad. I'll take care of everything here so I can return before the fight is over," I replied.
Two expert level mages. An open space. Once they split up, I will just end up wasting time chasing after them. I need to kill one fast, then I'll chase after the other one whom I expect to escape after I killed the first one.
With my fastest speed, I sprinted and killed one of the mages, the woman who has just landed after she flew to meet the other mage. If she used her flying magic to escape, it will be difficult to catch her.
Just as expected, the other one tried to escape while attacking me with magic. He's an ice mage. Good.
As long as he doesn't try to freeze me and just attacked using Ice Spikes, I only need to endure the spikes.
He retreated while using ice magic to freeze the ground as he slides backward. It's also useful if he wants to let me slip as the ground is frozen and slippery. But he doesn't know that I'm not stepping on the ground. Just 1cm above the frozen ground, I used Air Steps.
The confused mage casted Ice Spikes at me, but I redirect those Spikes because I can see them clearly. If I tried to block it, my speed will slow down.
The ones that will stab me, I used Blobbies to cover my hands and redirect those Spikes to not hit me. As for those that won't stab me, I ignore them even if they hit my head and blood coming out. I need to go back to watch the match!
Because he's an expert level mage, the numbers of Ice Spikes he created is too many for me to dodge or redirect. That's why some of them hit me. But none of them stabbing me. Just the sides of the Spikes hit me, so there are some bruises there and there. And I'm bleeding from my head. But I just endure it.
As I got closer, the man turns back so he can focus on escaping. He must have thought that I'm a close combat fighter. If he escapes, my identity as an Aura user will be known. I must not let him escape!
I restore Reizpear from my pocket into its original form, and threw it like a javelin into the mage's body. Reizpear pierced his body, and he falls to the ground where I finally kill him. That's four.
As for the other six expert level mages, they have been defeated. Three by Veronica, and three by the agents.
I'm glad to see that the result from the training camp shows. It means we now have the power to repel the cult.
"Veronica, you done?" I asked Veronica. She's the first one I approach after I killed the mages on my side.
"Yeah. I'll stay here in your mansion until Albert return. You want to watch the match, right?" Veronica said.
"Thanks. I'll get Albert return as fast as I can," I said as I leave her.
This time, I'm going to Candy's side.
"Roy, we're done here. We will investigate the situation, so you can return first. Tell me the result later, okay?" Candy said.
And that's how I ended up in the commentary room with my body covered in blood.
Now, let's see if I have the talent as commentator.
