Chapter 692: Investigating the City in Monsters World
After listening to the drunken stories at the bar, I move to another bar and do the same. Other than the story about last night’s attack by the vampires, there’s nothing important. Though some of them thought that it’s best to return to their home world before the vampires attack again.
“They’re attacking us for our blood. That means they will come here again who knows when. I want to go home as soon as possible.”
“To do that, you need to save some money. How much money do you have? I think it’s best for you to go and tame some monsters instead of complaining. If you can’t get enough money, you will stay here for the rest of your life.”
That conversation happened in several bars I went to. Many wants to go home, but some who were not involved in the raid think that they are cowards.
By the way, the drink and the meals in different bars are roughly similar. There are truly no variations here. I guess it’s no wonder why some people wants to return.
I heard that they had summoners to open a portal every night to bring supply. But they will only take people through the portal once a week.
With how high the prices for staying in a private room at an inn, I guess it’s difficult for the people here to stay still.
.....
Even if they can get enough money to go home, if the time for returning is still a few days away, they need to gather some more money or they will be out of it before they can go home.
The question is about what happened to where the people here are returning to from this world. I hear that there are some summoners who will bring several people to different places. And from what I heard, those places are not always the same.
Which means that the summoners have to move around in human world. So it’s possible that they are with traveling merchant or something.
I walk around on the street while also looking for something. I have found out where the summoners are. There are only three of them in this world at the moment while the rest are moving in our world. Which mean it will be hard for me to get all summoners.
Alright. It will be difficult to kill all summoners anyway. I guess creating a huge disturbance is the easiest.
Anyway, it’s just three summoners. As long as I can kill them, everyone here won’t be able to return. And summoners from my world will only come at night to bring in supplies.
Which means that if I want to kill as many people as possible, I need to do it right after the summoners who brought in supplies close their portal. And once everyone dies, I only need to wait until the next night.
“But for now, I will just look around first. Good thing that there will be a batch of people returning from this world and entering this world later tonight. I’ll see if I can leave as well,” I said to myself.
“Don’t forget to capture some important looking people here,” Victoria reminded me of my mission. Though she didn’t remind me that I must not kill innocent people. Well, the more I look around inside this city-like base, the more I think that there is no one actually innocent.
“I think I can find some random people for that. I have a plan later. But there are more things I want to learn first,” I said.
I continue walking around the city toward the center. And the closer I am, the more people watch me. And I can feel the wind even though I can’t feel it away from the center.
And that’s when something pulled my hair from behind. Not the people from here. But the air spirit, Airy.
I stopped myself from shouting and stepped back away from the wind. And when I’m far enough, I asked Airy what she’s doing.
“What is it, Airy? It’s rare that you want my attention,” I asked Airy.
“The wind is not natural. The wind is going to the direction of the center of this place,” Airy said.
“I see. Thanks, Airy. I was also suspicious by the wind. But thanks to you, I’m sure of it. The wind is created by a wind mage, right? If we say anything there, the wind mage would notice it right away. And that mage should be at least a master level mage. I guess there are more than just the two ice mage and fire mage. As expected.”
If the wind mage sensed me alone, but I just say something thoughtlessly, the the wind mage will be suspicious of me. And I can’t no longer be hidden anymore.
Though that means I can go all out. But I want to destroy everything here. I need to endure it a bit more.
I know where those three summoners are. I think that instead of evacuating the people here, they are responsible to report what happen in case of emergency. Which mean they might be the closest people to the higher ups. Probably the archbishop. Or maybe even the Evil God himself.
In that case, they might not be weak. They might be master level mages in their other element than summoning. At least I don’t think that they have multiple familiars to be summoned.
Summoners can only return from Monsters World from where they coming from. And vice versa. They can only enter Monsters World from where they were returning from.
Other than that, summoners can only open a portal to where their familiars are. And in their case, they only have one familiar at most since I don’t think any of them know about Pear-y Fruit. Instead of using that monster as fighting force, they might be using those monsters as markers. Like how I use Blobbies to mark the place I need to open my portal to.
In that case, I can’t take those summoners to bring to Albert. Because that means the place in our world that will be marked is the prison. Not where they need to meet the higher ups.

So, I need to capture them and hold them in this world by some means. That way, if we force them to open a portal, we will be brought directly to where the higher ups are.
No one knows where those summoners will go when they open their portal. And those summoners, along with some people who might be master level mages, are being treated like a royalty in this place. They are people who have never returned back to human world ever since they first arrive here. That shows how loyal they are to the Evil God.
“If we can grab those summoners, we might get new information about the Evil God’s whereabouts. I need a better plan than what I have in my head right now,” I said after I finish looking around the city. There are still a few hours left before the people here can finally go back to their world.
I have paid for the fee for the return. I think it was horrible how there are so few people can go back even though there are many who wants to leave this world. And some even use this world as a way to get money. Like a job.
But that’s okay. I’m not too worried about it. And I picked somewhere where there are so few people returning there.
“You bought a ticket to go back to Varadis. What will you do then?” Victoria asked me.
“Cause some trouble after they close the portal. At least that’s what’s in my mind. But I’ll just attract more trouble then. I want to go back to Tatrama but there are too many people going there. I guess we haven’t finished clearing Tatrama from the cult yet,” I said.
I have returned to the inn where I have paid to rest. And I didn’t pay to rest overnight since I’ll be leaving tonight. Seems like they allow hourly payment here.
I have eaten lunch and said to the owner that I will be resting until I can go home later tonight. Everyone here except for the guest are women. At least I have something good to see.
And obviously, the staffs here will let the guest do anything they want as long as they are paid. These women are so pitiful. Though I might kill them in the end.
I guess they can be considered as innocent. But I’ll just say that they are necessary sacrifices. I’m sorry to the family they left behind.
And while I was resting on the bed, I hear a knock on the door. Those women are here. And not just one or two. But all of the staffs of this inn are there outside the door. Including the owner.
I think I know what they want. But I’ll just ask them anyway.
I open the door and see them all lining up on the hallway. I asked the owner who is standing in front of them all.
“What is it?” I asked.
“Sir customer. I heard that you’re going back to Earth tonight. Is that right?”
They are calling our world as Earth. Even though earth mage can use magic in this world...
“Yes I am. What about it?” I asked.
“Will you please kindly bring some of us with you? We are forced to come here against our will. Please help us return back home! At least just one person will do!”
As expected. They want me to pay them to go home with me.
Well, it’s not a problem. I can even pay to bring them all with me. After all, the money I use here are the money that I found and stole from this base.
And I can bring all these girls to Albert for questioning. Easy.
But if I save some of them, the rest will hope that I can save them as well. I guess I need to change the plan so I won’t kill too many innocent people here.
Well, that’s okay. If we’re doing it right, I don’t need to care about the innocent people here when I’m trying to destroy this place.
