Chapter 316: I'm Already Used to Fight Expert Level Mage

The king has been saved and there are no other cult members left in the castle. Maybe they are al fighting outside.

It seems that those who are not too strong or experienced in a battle chose the easy way, which is attacking the king directly, while the other cult members choose to fight.

Now the question is… do we need reinforcement here?

The Werewolves seems to be doing fine even though they are outnumbered. They are a race that loves battle after all. Maybe it's best to let them be.

But that doesn't mean the reinforcement are not needed. Let's open a portal one more time and ask Albert and old man Henry for their opinion.

"I think it's best if we sent some people specialized in espionage mission to walk around and find evidences of the cult members' wrongdoings." Albert said.

"Yeah, you have killed all the nobles in the castle. Looking through their mansions is a good idea." Old man agreed.

"Now, how many of you are best in espionage mission? One, two, three… eight. I'll send you these eight people to find some evidence of the cult."

Albert then ordered the eight people to enter the portal. I also gave them some Blobbies to disguise themselves. And the eight people quickly move on their own accord to different directions.

"Do you need anything else?" Albert asked.

"Hmm… what about you, old man?" I asked old man Henry instead.

"There will be many things that I need to take care of. At least I hope the rest of my surviving children are not related to the cult." Old man said.

"Then, I guess I'll get princess Julia to find her siblings while I take care of whoever she's fighting. Old man, is there any safe house in the capital?" I asked.

"There's one right behind you. Through the wall where you and Spot destroyed when you enter, you can see that big mansion with green roof. Oh, wait. It's dark so you can't see it. It's the…"

"My Divine Vision can see through the dark as if it was day. I can see which one has green roof." I said before old man finished his sentences.

"…that's one convenient ability. If none of my children left related to the cult, please protect them." Old man said.

"No thanks. That will be princess Julia's problem. Not mine." I said as I closed the portal and leave the castle with Spot.

"You heard that, Spot? We're going to princess Julia first. It's that way." I said as I pointed toward the direction where princess Julia is.

"I can see her as well. Just like you, I can see through the dark as well. Deep under the sea, it was much darker there. Though there are some monsters that can emit light." Spot said.

That was interesting. I haven't seen any monsters when I dive even during the night. I guess I need to go deeper then.

In any case, we need to check on the princes and princess first. Though I don't remember much about their appearances, they should live in the castle as well, right?

There are no other cult members, but there are still people inside the castle. Since I have entered the castle several times, and I don't see anyone having a reaction when I arrive, I don't think there are other expert level mage among them.

Well, they are alive at the moment. Let's quickly go to where princess Julia is.

Princess Julia is fighting against an expert level mage. As for Kayla, Candy, and Shelia, they fight the other expert level mage.

Princess Julia is fighting evenly against her enemy. As for Kayla's group, they are pressuring their enemy. They work well together.

"Spot, you go and kill that mage who is fighting Kayla and the others. I will help princess Julia." We split up after that since the fights happen in different location.

As for Angela and the others, they are busy fighting the monsters. How come no one notice that someone keeping some monsters in their houses? There are many things here that needed to be fixed by old man.

Oh? Jack and some other Werewolves are having difficulty against someone. Maybe that one is another expert level mage. They are still fine, so it's best to leave them be for now. And Celestine is going their way as well.

I approached the expert level mage princess Julia is fighting, and before he noticed me, I used my Blobbyrifle to shoot him to death. When the bullet entered his range, he was distracted from the fight. But the bullet is too fast for him to react, so before he could put any kind of barrier, the bullet pierced his left eye and entered his brain before exiting from the back of his head.

I was aiming for his forehead though. So, he could move a bit, huh? Maybe there will be even stronger expert level mage in the future that we will fight.

"Roy! Thank god you're here! Kayla and the others are in trouble, let's help them quickly!"

Before princess Julia could run, I grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"They are fine. But the old man's life was threatened. That's how I came here late. I was saving your father first. Anyway, he asked me to protect the rest of his children who are not involved with the cult. But I don't know any of them, so I want you to do it instead. By the way, be careful. I only know that they are not a cult member since they don't have explosive devices inside their mouth. It any of them were like this guy, an expert level mage who doesn't have explosive device inside his mouth, your life is in danger. Just be careful. By the way, old man told me to get his children to a safe house. It's that one over there." I pointed to where the mansion that old man said that it was a safe location.

"…first, I thank you for telling me this. Second, thank you for saving my father. Third, I hate you because of what you can see with those eyes of yours. And lastly, that safe house my father told me is my own house that I bought secretly even from him. And he dares calling it his safe house?" Princess Julia said in anger.

What's that about hating me? Did Kayla already tell her? I want to see her reaction though. What a shame.

"It seems that whatever you do in the capital is seen through even without my Divine Vision. Though your strength is still unknown to the old man until recently. Just go quick and save your family. Leave the rest to us." I said.

"I want to help more, but one of my siblings might be a future king. Please save the kingdom."

"Ah! Before you leave, how popular are you?" I asked.

"…what?"

"I mean does everyone in the capital knows your face?"

"…yeah they do. I think that's the case. Why ask?"

"If you find any civilians, you will need to calm them down. That's all there is to it. Though it seems that the people here choose to lock themselves in their own house, that doesn't mean all of them are inside. There might be some hunters who thinks it's best to leave their house and fight the monsters, or civilians whose house is destroyed and need to find a safe place. You're the princess, I'll leave them to you." I explained.

After saying that, I left before she could ask anything anymore.

I run toward where Kayla is, and I see the expert level mage is easily being swallowed by a huge floating serpent. That… is a nightmare. I mean I remember clearly before I died that my arm was eaten by a monster. And then there's a monster swallowing a person whole while that person is still alive.

I can see well how that person entered Spot's throat. I guess even an expert level mage can enter panic when being eaten alive. That mage forgot how to use magic.

By the way, Victoria is here as well. she must be here since Celestine and the others can take care of themselves, and she need to inform Kayla's group of what's happening. She can also be used as a shield during the fight. No wonder they can have the upper hand while fighting an expert level mage. Though in the end, Spot finished everything.

"Kayla, Candy, go kill the monsters roaming in the capital. As for the mages, Shelia, tell the other Werewolves to show their Werewolf form and only kill those who have the scent of the explosive devices. There are also hunters fighting the monsters. You can play along as one of the monsters."

Shelia obeyed my order and will tell the other Werewolves that they don't need to hold back anymore. This way, the cult members will be dealt by the Werewolves, and the rest of the monsters will be defeated by us and the hunters.

"What about you, Roy?" Kayla asked.

"Let's see… seems like we have the upper hands against the monsters since there are a lot of hunters helping around. I'll check around to see if there are anyone who needs help. Victoria, stay with me. I gave too many Blobbies to Albert's spies that entered here."

"Albert is helping as well? That's good." Victoria said as she stuck herself on my shoulder.

"Not really. The spies' job is to find any evidence of the cult in the capital. Old man Henry is also safe with Albert in Tatrama. For now, I need to make sure that no one escapes the capital."

Seems like the war will be over soon. Let's just kill the rest of the cult members who are hiding. I also need to find those basements where the monsters are being kept.

Anyway, what about the orphanages? Seems like the orphans who have explosive devices in their mouth are too scared too move. Maybe I'll use this chance to get them to Russell telling them that it's a safe place. Let's just do that.
