The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 162: Luring The Monsters Away

Chapter 162: Luring The Monsters Away

Most of the monsters that caused problem to the hunters has been shot by my shoots. And Kayla no longer pointed at a monster just to show others my strength. I think I saw that guy who tried to flirt with her keep looking around in fear. Is he looking for me?

Doesn't matter. I just hope that he won't have any intention in making me his enemy ever again. And I hope he will not try to flirt with my girlfriends.

Now the hunters are joining parties with each other. Since they thought that a party won't be enough, they made a joint party with two or three parties to fight the monsters.

I can see that Sophie and Angela also joined with a party. I think they are from that time during the Orc settlement's raid. But I forgot who they are.

Then behind the party who fought the monsters, most healers are o standby to heal injured people. Like Kayla and that girl from before. Although I know Kayla can fight if she want to, during war like this, her healing magic is needed. That's why she stay behind to heal. She hadn't attacked at all.

Well, she is smart so I can trust her decisions. If she want to heal people, that's fine. If she want to be the vanguard, that's fine as well. Of course I will protect her no matter what.

Well, since the monsters that caused the most trouble had been done in, I guess I should go behind the monsters and kill them in close combat. I will lure most of the monsters toward me and I'll kill them when I find the chance to do it. With this, the number of monsters that being handled by the hunters should be decreasing.

I was about to jump down from the tree I hid myself on, and A ghost suddenly appear in front of me. So I stopped my descend by hugging the tree. I forgot to be cool and just let my feet stuck on the tree.

"What is it, Sonia?" I asked the ghost that suddenly appear. Is there some important news I have to hear?

"…You look ridiculous hugging a tree like that. Are you a monkey?"

"A handsome one. Why are you here?"

Seeing how she managed to let out a joke, I don't think it's a really important news. Maybe just someone relaying a message that doesn't necessarily need me to answer right away.

Of course thanks to Sonia's joke, I remember to cover my feet with Aura and stuck them on the trunk of the tree.

"Just Victoria telling me to inform you that the East gate is fine. You can summon her since she's going to the north gate."

"Nice."

Without any hesitation, I summoned Victoria directly on top of my palm.

Well, I thought she would be in her slime form, but who would have thought that she's in her armored form.

Unprepared by the sudden weight, I pulled back my arm and Victoria falls down to the ground.

"What was that for?!" Victoria shouted angrily.

"Sorry. I thought you would be in your slime form."

"Even if I was, what sort of person summoned their monster while on top of a tree?"

"I'm on the middle of a tree actually."

"Shut up!"

I guess she's angry because I let her fall down.

I already said sorry to her. I think that's enough. More than that, and she might ask for something unreasonable of me. And I don't want that.

"Victoria. Did you kill a lot of monsters?"

"You just changed the topic abruptly without thinking of apologizing?!"

"I did say sorry, didn't I? More than that and you would have asked something weird from me. I think that's enough." I replied.

"Tsk! Well, the monsters are not that strong. If I have to guess, I think I need to fight several strong monsters to finally have my long awaited 24 hour/day of freedom." Victoria answered my question.

"Well, if you defeat all these monsters, do you think that will be enough?"

I let Victoria see the surroundings. There are Ogres, Cyclopes, and more powerful monsters.

"Yeah… I think these should be enough. But I don't have enough power to defeat them all. So…"

"So I'll use you as weapon. Let's go."

Before I go, I turned my head to Sonia who is watching the situation.

"Sonia. Go see how Kron is doing. He's inside the city. Support him in any way you can."

"Okay." Then she disappears.

Victoria already transformed into her default form when I armed her as a weapon. A grappling hook.

"Roy, how's the other?"

"They're doing fine. Though I don't know about Candy."

I look around to see more and more monsters are coming. I truly feel like running away, but for now, let's try to decrease the numbers of monster first. Only when I thought it will be useless to continue fighting, I will run away with the others.

In my past life, I don't know the exact numbers of monsters that appeared. I went into hiding as fast as I could. But I don't think it was this much. Or is it because we are prepared, the monsters that appear seems more? Maybe that's the case.

For example, in the past, monsters already entered the city. Seeing the monsters inside the city already causing ruckus, the other monsters who doesn't dare to fight over their preys choose to retreat back into the forest.

But now since the hunters and the guards are protecting the city, the monsters might think that we are a good target and they did not choose to retreat.

And I also didn't see if anyone is controlling the monsters. Maybe they are too far away and already leave their location once they thought the numbers of monsters is enough to level the city. When I asked Veronica about it a few days ago, she also think so.

Yeah, I think this many monsters are more than enough to destroy the city. That only would happen if we are not prepared. Good thing that we have a lot of king's agents here. The guards and the hunters in this city are also surprisingly strong. That's why we managed to hold this long.

As long as we decrease the numbers of monsters, the rest of them should be retreating soon after. Our main goal is to capture the governor, but it would be useless if the city is destroyed. So we need to kill the monsters and protect the civilians as well.

I run to a Cyclops nearby and with Victoria as a sword, I cleaved its head while shouting loud so other monsters would notice me.

Then some beast like monsters noticed me, and as usual, I said the same thing to a monsters I find like I did back then.

"h.e.l.lo, I come in peace."

"GRAAAWR!!" The beast growled at me.

"Roy, are you stupid? It can't be called peace if you just decapitate a monster."

"Right! By the way, that Cyclops seem to be weaker than the one back then."

"That's because each monsters live differently. That Cyclops we encounter in the past live in a dungeon and this one lives in the wild. Usually, monsters in the dungeon are stronger than outside because they absorbed the magic from dungeon. That's why you can easily cut its neck. The other reason is you became stronger after your training." Victoria explained.

Yeah… I never actually testing my strength after training. I just thought I have gotten stronger, but I don't know how strong I have become. I should have had Ms. Wendy to lend me that target practice that was used for the exam and try to attack it in full force. But I don't think that pillar can endure my attack seeing just a b.u.t.ton shot with compressed air already hit nine thousand. The max should be ten thousand so I almost got it destroyed.

Anyway, saying I come in peace doesn't work and I started being chased by the beast. I let it chase after me while also luring more monsters to follow me. The more monsters chasing after me, the easier it would be for the hunters.

I choose this plan after seeing that I can outrun most of the monsters here. The fastest monsters in this stampede are wyverns. But they flew over the sky and enter the city directly so I don't need to care about them. I don't think they will care about just one person.

I lured the monsters, but when I found a chance, I slipped in between a narrow gap between two trees making huge monsters unable to pa.s.s it and have to walk around. I used that chance to kill some monsters and then I run away again.

I see Sophie and Angela looking over my way. They should have realized that it was me luring all the monsters and they smiled. Then they shouted something to other parties. I think it's about me luring the monsters and delaying their attacks. Making the others have enough time to rest and have easier time against the monsters.

If possible, I'd like to lure those monsters away from the city. But when they see I'm moving too far from the city, the monsters stopped chasing after me and returned advancing toward the city. Though there are some persistent monsters still chasing after me.

I killed those who are still chasing after me and return to the battlefield to do the same tactic again. Just lure them away from the city and when they are far enough, I'll kill them.

I repeated this several times and the numbers of monsters in this area decreasing considerably.
