The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 28: Preparation For The Real Battle

Chapter 28: Preparation For The Real Battle

It has been ten days since I finally saw my target. In those ten days, I kept fighting the All-seeing Eye over and over again. And the result is my loss.

That monster can see all of my movement! And despite its size, it's actually pretty agile. The monster's huge round eyeball has about two meter circ.u.mference. Then it has about twenty tentacles attached to the eyeball with the length of ten meters each.

That thing look disgusting at first and every time I return to fight that thing, I still feel disgusted by it. There's no way anyone can get used to seeing that monster!

I keep challenging the All-seeing Eye every day for ten days already. And so far, it's impossible for me to defeat that thing. That's what the girls said today when they decided to follow me to see the monster.

After we returned to the inn and have dinner, the girls and I discussed about the All-seeing Eye and how to defeat that monster.

"It's impossible for you to kill that monster. You have been fighting it for ten days and you know it that there's no chance for you to win! Just give up on your special ability. I know that if it's you, you can still grow stronger without any special ability."

"I agree. You're forcing yourself just to be able to defeat the All-seeing Eye. The Roy I knew won't fight a battle he couldn't win. So why are you continue to persist?"

Angela and Kayla seem worried about me. What they just said make it seems like they don't want me to die. But knowing them, they don't want me to defeat the All-seeing Eye for another reason.

"You don't want me to defeat that monster because of the special ability that I might get, right? You're worried if I'm able to get some kind of see-through vision."

""That's right!""

"Don't worry. It has been ten days since I fight that monster and every day since I first saw it, I have done a lot of thinking. About why does deep in my heart, I desire to have seeing special ability. And about why I'm choosing to continue fighting evil."

"Seems like you did a lot of thinking. So why the All-seeing Eye? Don't tell me it's about peeking on girls."

When I was about to say why I want that special ability, somehow Victoria summoned herself in front of us.

"Don't do serious conversation without me around!"

"How did you summon yourself here? Did you just teleported?"

"No. All contracted monster can choose to summon themselves to their summoner whenever we want."

"First time I heard that."

"You think every monster love to be summoned out of nowhere to suddenly be in a fight they can't refuse? Of course most of them will hate their own summoner. And when emergency arrive, they will not want to go save their summoner. That will give them freedom. Only few monsters love their summoner."

"And you choose to come here so you can listen to our conversation?"

"It's about you after all. You're my master!"

"Fine. Do what you want."

Over the few days, I finally figured out what important thing she's doing in the prison. Seems like what she said about Fujos.h.i.+ was a lie. Maybe not all of them. Only few things she said was a lie. But for her to have such hobby… and she wanted Angela and Kayla to join her hobby? Is that how Fujos.h.i.+ increased in numbers in her previous world?

More importantly, I can feel relieved knowing that she might be lying. That means about me being a Riajuu criminal might be a lie. But I refused to ask her any more than that. Because she might ended up hating me for it. I don't want her to hate me because she's my reliable partner and teacher. So throwing her into the prison is the least I can do. Maybe when we return to Melk, I can throw her into the prison over there?

"Well, about my special ability. It's not that I don't want a see-through vision. I also want it including many other abilities. But this one might be the most suited skill for me to improve my judgement. My decision making skill."

"Decision making skill?"

"Having the vision to see through everything will help me to choose whether I need to run away from a strong enemies, or fight them because I know I can win. To help other people, or to save myself. That kind of decision. It's perfect for me."

"I see. Seeing everything closely will help you making a clear judgement. That's really helpful."

"You're right. And the see-through vision is a bonus."

"Pervert!"

It really is a great bonus. Seeing from my experience from the past few days fighting All-seeing Eye, I know that thing has a see-through vision.

It can read my moves!

If I guess correctly, it saw the movements of my muscle so it can predict my moves. That's why it's difficult for me to fight that monster. No wonder no one has ever defeat that thing. And its tentacles also difficult to handle. Some of them are sharp like blades, and some other can stick and grab on things.

"But that doesn't make it any easier to fight that monster. How will you defeat it?"

"I only used Aura when I fought All-seeing Eye for the first time. And it's only on my attacks. Never on my movements. I can increase my speed and sense by using Aura, but I didn't use it. I know from the first time that I can't win by using normal means. So I keep fighting it without using Aura until it get used to my style."

"You're tricking the monster that can see-through everything?"

Kayla asked me.

"Maybe. I don't know until I fight that thing for real tomorrow. Today when I fought against it, I feel like it has begun to get used to my fake fighting style. So tomorrow will be my real battle against that thing. If I can't win, then I'll give up on my special ability."

"You think that's enough to defeat that monster? It's called All-seeing Eye for a reason."

"That's why I did a ten days of preparation. Look at those stuffs lying on the corner of my room!"

I pointed at the corner where there are a lot of things lying there covered under a blanket.

"Those are all my preparation for tomorrow's battle. If that's not enough, then I have to do an improvisation on my own. Victoria, those can be considered as my weapons, right?"

"Hmm… it's a stretch to be called as weapons, but in my time, we can even gain special ability by killing a caged monster."

"Caged? Didn't you say that supports are not allowed?"

"If the monsters have been caught and put in a cage for several days, their wound will heal and can be considered to be returned to their perfect condition. So that doesn't count."

"f.u.c.k! That's totally cheating!"

"I lived in the perfect time for Aura user to grow, so we can be spoiled as much as we want to. Now you're probably the only one Aura user in this world so no one can spoil you like a baby. You have to do everything by yourself."

"Can't you help me? What if we consider you as a monster? Can we succeed?"

"Then what if it doesn't work and we killed the monster? You will have to find another one who know where."

"Wait, Roy. You haven't told us what those luggage of yours is."

Angela looked curiously at the things I will use to fight the All-seeing Eye.

"Those 3 barrels are filled with oil."

"You're going to burn the monster?"

"Yeah. I hope it works. Then those small metal container is filled with compressed oxygen. In case the fire spread and I'm lacking of oxygen. I built it with the help of Victoria's knowledge of her previous world. Even in my previous life, this is the first time I've seen such invention. As a doctor, this will help me saving a lot of people. Then those bags are filled with throwing weapons. And that's a makes.h.i.+ft s.h.i.+eld. It's not as strong as when I use Victoria as a s.h.i.+eld, but it may be necessary."

I explained the things I will use on the battle to them.

And then Kayla asked a question.

"You forget to tell us why you choose to fight evil."

"Hmm, right. Ruby told me that I myself don't know why I'm fighting. After a few days of thinking, in the end it's just that I love this world."

"…that's sappy."

"What do you expect from an old man? I tried to remember everything I went through in my previous life and in this life. There are more bad things than the good things. The bad things makes me lost faith in the world. But the good things, even the slightest bit of kindness, makes me believe in the world that I dream of. A world filled with kindness. I'm fighting for the little good things in this world even though it's not many. You can say I'm being sentimental, but that's what I really think."

That's what I really thought. In this time, I met Angela, Kayla, Ruby, Sophie, Daniel, and several other people. And the kindness I received from them gives me hope. That's why for those Evil G.o.d Cult and many other evils in this world, I will fight them.

But if I can't win I will just run away together with my precious friends.
