Chapter 536
From what I can see, there are only wind mages coming. Children or adults, they are all flying on their own. My guess is that there will be more coming, but for now, only the wind mages move first because they are fast.
And seeing how they didn’t fly too fast despite being an artificial master level mages, prove my deduction. Maybe the rest of the artificial master level mages will arrive soon by foot. They want to let the other artificial master level mages to catch up sooner or later. Though it’s just my guess.
None of them are going directly to the fake village. They are slightly away from it. They have no intention in stopping at the fake village.
They are too far, but the werewolves, the angels, and the vampires approached them by flying in high speed toward the artificial mater level mages. Because those mohawks didn’t fly at high speed, the monsters can reach them and attack them.
Unfortunately, some of the mohawks managed to pass the monsters. Though they are the adults. As for the children, all of them are being delayed by the monsters.
The monsters agreed to stop the children without killing them. But once I activated the Noise Bomb, the monsters will fight the adult mohawks.
.....
The plan is for when the children got affected by the Noise Bomb, I will open a portal and transport them to a cage where the noise never stops. A place that Marie, Victoria, and the others prepared back in Varadis to held these children.
Actually, I can just open a portal there right away, and get the children affected by the noise. Using that place, there’s no need to wait for a cooldown and the effect was longer than just five or six seconds. But as I keep saying from the start, I need to save my magic in case of emergency.
After all, if the adult mohawks or some other mohawks managed to pass us and go to the capital of Consenza, I need to move there as well to protect the others. And with the mohawks possibly spread all over the places, I will probably end up wasting my mana too much if I keep using a portal.
Well, that’s why I will need to keep on using the Noise Bomb instead. Marie and Victoria actually made the boxes and the cage while keeping my ability in their mind. If I need to use the Noise Bomb while it’s still in cooldown time, I can just open a portal to the cage in Varadis. Very convenient, but I hope I won’t use magic too much.
In the sky, the monsters are fighting the mohawk children. And those who managed to pass them, the shooting squad were shooting at them. Although those mohawks can still block the bullets with their magic shield, they slowed down considerable. And when that happen, Veronica and some other wind mages fly toward those mohawks and to fight them.
If it’s just one on one, Veronica alone is enough to defeat them. But there are too many of them, and focusing on just one enemy is difficult since she’s also paying her attention to her allies who are fighting with her.
Despite being an introvert and how much she loves her alone time, she cares about other people around her. She’s not just a girl with big ass. She’s a kind introverted girl with big ass.
All of that happened in silent. Actually, they might be so loud, but I can’t hear it at all. Though this time, Victoria helped me making sound effects of what’s happening right in my ear.
“Bang! Boom! Bang! Bang! Whooosh! You will die here! Awooo! Meow!”
“Okay, you don’t have to make sound effects anymore. That’s actually disturbing. And who the hell is meowing!? There’s no cat monsters at all in sight!” I said to the Black Slime.
“Well, thought that you will be lonely when you can’t hear anything. So, I help you with saying what’s happening out there. As for the meowing, that was me,” Victoria said.
“Stop that! Anyway, it’s time to move,” I said as I fly toward the mohawks that the monsters are facing. The artificial master level children.
“Tap! Tap! Tap!”
“I said enough! You don’t need to make the sound effect of my footsteps!”
Even after I said that, Victoria didn’t stop. I guess she’s feeling lonely after being away from me. Though I wish she knows that this is not the right time for it.
I reached where the mohawk children are flying among the “Wooosh!”, and “Bang!”. There are some children who are too far from the range, so I grabbed them, and threw them into the middle.
Now that all the children all within range, I grabbed the Noise Bomb and pressed the only button on it.
“Click!”
“You don’t need to say it!”
And Victoria is still making the sound effect. I was just pressing a button though.
And after I pressed the button, all the children around me covered their ears as the started falling down since they can’t focus on flying anymore. But since the monsters are here, they can help the children before they hit the ground.
I know that feeling. That feeling of dizziness that you can’t do anything about. Maybe if I trained my Aura to cover my hearing instead of enhancing it, I can activate this without needing Victoria or Blobbies.
But the difference of effect to the children and to me, is that when I heard the ringing noise from the Noise Bomb, I will just get dizzy. But for these children, after the first second of dizziness, they all have blank expression. I guess the hypnosis in the sound is very effective to the children.
By the way, I also started falling down to land on the ground when the children started falling. It’s to make sure that they are all within range.
The effect is just six seconds. But no matter what kind of experiment they went through, they are still humans. And they need some time to clear their mind after the dizziness, so it should give us a few more seconds.
And that’s more than enough.
As the monsters carried the children with blank expression on their faces, they gathered together so they can get them into the portal that I will open.
And when I opened the portal, the monsters hurriedly put the children inside before leaving the portal. They want to fight the adult artificial master level mages as soon as possible.
I was greeted by Russell who is ready to undo the children’s hypnosis. He’s saying something, but I couldn’t hear him at all so I close the portal. I can’t keep it open for too long, or the rest of the mohawks who sensed my portal will realize what it was.
“Why didn’t you say anything when Russell was talking, but keep making weird sound like “Boom” and “Bang”? I asked Victoria who resumed to make sound effects of the battle.
“It’s nothing important. Just Russell saying something like “Leave it to me”. There’s no need for me to repeat his words,” Victoria replied.
“Anyway, you don’t need to cover my ears anymore until we see other children. Although the Professor said that the experimented children were his greatest creation, there are still many adult artificial master level mages with the enemy. Some of them were managed to escape from us. At least we need to kill as many of them as possible to make things easier for those in the capital,” I said.
This time, Victoria no longer covering my ears anymore. And I can hear the “Bang”, the “Boom”, and the “Whoosh” on my own. And there’s really no one meowing.
Some of the artificial master level mages were killed. But we’re not without casualties. Some of our friends have fallen as well when the angels didn’t have enough time to heal them.
We planned things too rashly this time because we heard of the artificial master level children. We never thought of the adult artificial master level mages at all. We never considered them to be double the number of the artificial master level children.
We prioritize the children. That’s why in this battle, many of our allies have fallen.
We can just ignore the fact that they are children and fight everyone from the start. But that means we need to kill children. That’s not something that can be accepted by many of us. And we might end up fighting each other instead. Can’t have that happen.
As I keep fighting the mohawks, some of them still managed to escape. We have too few of us who can defeat them. That’s why they can still escape.
And the worst part was that one of them retreated back to where they came from after watching me fight.
I guess this is it. We can no longer keep the fact that I’m an Aura user as secret. And the cult will probably focusing all their strength in finding me and kill me.
Well, it was actually amazing how I can keep it as secret for this long. And I can only fight as usual. There won’t be any change as I keep fighting and protecting those important to me.
