Chapter 629

Chapter 629: He’s the Evil Hide and Seek God

After Kron has become better, and he can walk and move normally again thanks to receiving healing magic after surgery, he returned back to Mellian and raid some nests on his won. He doesn’t want to get someone else with him anymore.

The others also don’t like how the hunters are so selfish and might cause their own death. So only some like Kayla and Angela who doesn’t care if there are hunters who want to come with them to the raid.

Many male hunters tried to get closer with the girls. Many of them got kicked in the nut. Did they really think that they can force their way to the girls?

Some have a boyfriend. Me. And the others have high standard because of me. And there’s also a princess of a kingdom. Did they really think that they have a chance to be with the princess?

Because of so many men got kicked in the nut, they decided to stop raiding monsters’ nest. And they even leave Mellian. If they want to be popular, they should improve their strength first.

Anyway, those were the things that they told me after I left. Since that time with Kron, I never helped them again. Though they said that there are still some other nests to take care of so they will be staying there for a little longer.

As for me, I finally left to Arturo again and this time, I really am getting rid of the cult’s influence. There were no emergency so far so both Victoria and I managed to get rid of so many cult members. Some were managed to escape but that’s because I’m letting them go.

.....

Those who escaped will tell more cult members that living armors have started attacking them in Arturo. They will then start investigating about the living armor and try to kill me.

Little by little, our plan bore fruit. Though I think it will be a while until the cult has enough member to go after me. They will need to send a lot of master level mages to kill me. But I think they still don’t have enough master level mages yet.

An ordinary master level mage is no match for me. Even more if they cultivated their magic and increase their level rapidly. They will be much too weak for me.

Still, it is very annoying. All the cult members that I intentionally let go were escaping, but none of them were going to where the Evil God is.

They would retreat to somewhere and I will face more cult members. And from that place, I will let go some more people, and I would follow them again. They were going to another place with a lot of cult members.

But when I get to their final destination when they no longer know where to go, I couldn’t find anything. No Evil God or the Archbishop of the cult. It’s just a place that the cult knows it belong to them.

The cult members staying there would receive tasks from the leader of their faction. Either it’s a faction from someone powerful or it’s just fetishist faction like the one that Veronica or Celestine used to lead.

I learned it after forcing some cult members to speak. By opening their body and letting them see their own intestine. That’s why a doctor shouldn’t be a torturer.

The higher-ups of the cult will send people to the villages I raided to give the cult members there tasks for them to complete. And so, I have no choice but to wait after I completely killed all the cult members in a village.

“There’s nothing we can do except waiting. We have taken care of all the villages, settlements, and cities in this area. There shouldn’t be any more cult members. So we can only wait until the messenger arrive so we can follow them,” I said to Victoria.

“Should we take care of the cities in other area?” she asked me back.

“Later. It’s too annoying to keep on killing them. And Thomas will soon reach the next city. We’ll leave after an agent come to take care of the rest,” I said.

Soon after, an agent from Arturo come. I left everything to him before I returned to the circus.

“Aren’t you too busy? We’re in a tour that you arranged, but you’re almost never with us in the journey,” Thomas said when I meet him.

“It’s not a problem. Thanks to Ray, the travel was done quickly. Even without him, I’m already fast enough on my own. And killing the cult members didn’t take too much effort. All the master level mages should be busy. The strongest members I could find was just expert level mages. And there are no more artificial master level mage. It wasn’t tiring at all. Just boring,” I said.

“...A few years ago, if you said killing expert level or master level mage so easily I would get shocked and think that you’re beyond crazy. I’m shocked now because hearing them from your mouth is already natural. Only you can say killing master level mages easily,” Thomas said.

“Yeah. I guess it’s time to prepare the camp. Where is our next destination?” I asked.

“Just a small city. But after that, we will go to a small country that doesn’t belong to Tatrama. I guess that’s where you will be more busy,” Thomas said.

“I guess it’s time, huh? Thanks for telling me. If you need anything, just come to my tent,” I said.

When I entered my tent, Sonia appears next to me to tell me what Albert has found from the two master level mages that I captured on the way to Mellian.

The report was something that I figured out while I was on the mission in Arturo. A messenger will come to them to give them some tasks to complete. Though because the one being interrogated were master level mages, there were more details. Like how the master level mages were given order from the Archbishop directly before they depart to built a village between Melk and Mellian. Though they never returns again.

Worse of all, they have forgotten where they met the Archbishop. Which mean someone is manipulating their memory. No way a master level mage, no matter how weak they are, can’t tell where they were. Unless they are extremely forgetful.

Someone or something is erasing their memory. Maybe like Russell, they can use mind manipulation magic. Or it’s from an item which make their memories disappear.

If they have something that can delete someone’s memories, they could just grab everyone from the street and turn them into members of the cult. But from how they didn’t do it, it means that the memory erasing thing that they have can only make them lose memory of a recent event. Probably something like forgetting a whole day of memory or something.

That’s troublesome. Is that the reason why our investigation couldn’t find where the Evil God is hiding no matter what?

No. That’s not the only reason. Even Timmy who can detect everything in this continent couldn’t sense the Evil God.

Basically, he is not just the Evil God. He’s an Evil Hide and Seek God. Just the hiding part since he couldn’t find me, an Aura user, even though he should have realize that an Aura user exists.

For now, let’s focus on the circus. I need to relax by making everyone laugh.

Two days later, the circus arrived at a city. We received the permission to play easily. And as usual, the reception was good. Many people attended my performance and laughed.

After two nights of shows, and an extra day to get supplies for our next journey, we’re on the move again.

“I’m fine since I have a lot of stamina. But what about the others? Aren’t they tired and fatigued?” I asked Burnes.

“We are fine. Thanks to Victoria’s help with her knowledge of the suspension for the carriage, we feel less fatigued from the journey and can sleep well even inside a moving carriage. And our schedule is actually not as busy as our time as field agents,” Burnes said.

“I guess you did have a job that needs you to have a lot of stamina before you became circus performers. What about you, Thomas?” this time, I asked Thomas.

“Circus is my dream. There’s no way I can get tired of it. Though it’s mostly thanks to you. Because we have so many problems coming. Like bandits, monsters, or cult members we met on the way. And when it happens, you would return me back to Cassau and I can rest,” Thomas said.

“Well, I guess that’s true.”

I think Thomas is the one who is the most energized after me. Having your dream achieved is something anyone wants. And Thomas able to achieve it thanks to me.

He enjoys every moment of it so he never feel tired. Though he still need to maintain his health. That’s my advice as his friend and as a doctor.

“Let’s stop here. We will camp here tonight!”

Suddenly, we stopped even though it’s still noon. We could still travel further, but Burnes told us to stop.

“What’s wrong? Why are we stopping now?” I asked. Thomas and Victoria were also confused.

“There’s so much things to prepare before we go to the country we’re entering. I’ll tell you after we set our camp. I’ll visit your tent later. Thomas, you can go there first,” Burnes said before he started preparing to camp.

I wonder why do we need to learn something about the country we’re going to? Maybe because that country is dangerous? Let’s hear what he has to say.
