The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 620: I Found Cult Members in Hiding

It has been two days since the three guests joined us on our travel to Mellian. Those three are extremely reserved and unable to do anything knowing that we are far too strong for them who haven’t reached expert level yet.

And since it has been two days, Thomas also have gotten used to them. but because he’s afraid that he would somehow leak a secret about us if he gets along too well with them, he kept conversation with them to the minimum. But at least enough to tell to those three that everyone here is following him.

Of course we told him that we are a circus troupe. We even let them watch our new performance to see their reaction. But they were too stiff and too scared to do anything so we never received any proper feedback. They would just say that it’s all great and clapped. With the weirdest expression on their faces.

In their heart, they must be thinking of why a group of powerful mages is joining a circus. And when they are trying to escape at night, those who are responsible to keep watch would stop them.

This is fun. Especially when they saw me creating a barrier with the walking cane. They even thought of stealing it, but since they also think that I might be as strong as expert level mage, they stopped that thought from crossing again.

Yes I have heard of them discussing about it in whispers in their tent. They have prepared various of plans. And I told the others about what I heard so we prepared plans to stop them. It was fun. It make our boring journey to be much more entertaining.

...We’re a circus troupe filled with sadists. And I love it.

.....

Two days have passed, and the three people who were supposed to be safe in our protection were visibly exhausted and stressed. They lost their appetite and were unable to sleep at all at night.

“They must be thinking that it’s much better if they got arrested already instead of staying here,” Victoria said.

“They can get arrested when we arrive in Mellian. But before we reach there, they will be our toys to play with. Though all we did is just to protect them from danger and forbid them to leave. We didn’t do any crime at all,” I said.

“You’re all still pretty evil to me though,” Victoria said.

It doesn’t matter how she view us as. What matter is that we find a way to enjoy ourselves from this boring journey.

“Well, I guess it’s time for me to leave again. I’ll tell Burnes that I’m leaving for a while again,” I said.

During the journey, I would use portal to move to another location to receive reports from other people about what they find or if there’s anything that someone needs from me. Since maybe Albert or the other kings have something they want me to do. Either it’s personal or it’s related to the cult. Though if it’s personal, I would most likely refuse to do it.

I have been doing it from the start and everyone in the circus knows about it. So I don’t really need to ask for permission. But since we have three guests here, I don’t want them to know that I have more secret than any of the circus members. They knew that I would sometime disappear, but that’s all they know. Though they didn’t even dare to ask me where I was. They are too scared.

I left for a while and after knowing that nothing is happening, I returned back. Though not directly to where the carriage is.

I left quite a far distance from where they were so the three guests won’t know that I can use portal. And when I return to where I put a Blobby before, I’m still way ahead of the carriage.

“Let’s just walk back to the carriage. There’s nothing interesting happening. Which is good...” I suddenly stopped talking and looked at some people in front of us. It’s still quite far, but I can see them with my Divine Vision.

“You know what? I never like it whenever you suddenly stop talking. What is it that you see?” Victoria asked.

“Cult members. They seem to be waiting for something ahead. Maybe there’s supposed to be something that will pass the road and they are waiting for it,” I said.

Those cult members are waiting in hiding next to the road. They didn’t show themselves. So they are either trying to ambush us or they are waiting for something else. Unless they are both bandits and members of the cult, there’s no reason they are waiting for us.

I think we are fine. The strongest mage they have is around expert level. We can still defeat them since there are no master level mage. Without my help, it should be fine.

But how they are waiting in front of us is suspicious. I’ll tell the others about this after I eavesdrop on them a little bit and looked at what they have.

I quickly returned to the carriage without being seen by the three guests.

“How many are they?” Burnes asked.

“Just twenty. But we can expect that they are all expert level mages,” I said.

“How do you know if they are all expert level mages? They are not supposed to have the explosive devices in their mouth at that level, right?” Burnes asked again.

“But all of them have the same explosive devices in their pocket. My guess is that they are waiting for the cult’s new recruit,” I said as I informed him of what I’ve heard.

“New recruits? If my guess is correct, then...”

“It’s probably the bandits and our three guests. They might be on the way to meet those cult members and meet us on the way. They didn’t want to miss the chance to rob us. If that’s the case, it’s no wonder why the small man is acting the calmest among the three. Although he also looked disturbed because they are forced to stay here, he’s still the calmest. Though if he didn’t say anything to the other two, I guess he kept it as secret from them,” I assumed that’s what the small man is thinking. Although I have no evidence.

“I’ll inform the others about this. You will explain it to Thomas and bring him to safety,” Burnes said as he left my carriage.

“You think those three is trying to enter the cult?” Victoria asked.

“Whatever the case, battle is unavoidable. Even if those cult members just watching us passing, we will still fight them. There’s no way I can leave any cult member alive for no reason,” I said.

I then informed Thomas about it and opened a portal for him to Cassau where he will be safe. I also told Kayla who was there that I’m about to face some cult members. Those who heard it want to join the fight but I stopped them. It’s best for the circus members to gain experience from fighting the cult as well since we can expect that there might be more that we find on our tour.

It wasn’t long since we decided to tour the continent and we have encountered some of the cult members already. And since we have killed a lot of their members, it wasn’t wrong to assume that they are trying to recruit more people to their side.

I’ll try to capture them and bring them for interrogation. If that’s not possible, then I will kill them.

After talking to the others in Cassau, I pretend that I returned normally back to the carriage.

“It’s rare to see you outside. Want some candy?” I said to the small man who is not inside one of the carriage as usual. Since he’s acting like a child, I offered him a candy.

“No. I think it’s about time that we leave on our own,” he said. He has stopped talking in a childish manner.

When he said that, the other two was curious because all their plan to leave has been stopped by us. They must be thinking that their boss still has another plan. That’s why their expression slightly brighten up.

I just walked beside him while trying to talk to him until we finally get close to where the cult members are hiding.

“Hmm... I see. So the reason you’re not inside the carriage is to let those people know that you are here. Hoping that they can save you. Am I right, the boss of bandits?” I said.

“You! How did you know!?”

“We’re all performers here. All of us are good at acting,” I said.

“Tsk! Come here and save me!” the small man shouted.

After shouting, the cult members then jumped out of their hiding location to see the situation.

“Save you? You’ll die of blood loss before they could get close though,” I said confidently.

“What do you... AAAARGH!!”

Only now the small man realized that I have sliced off both his arms. There’s no more need to bring these people to Mellian. They deserve to die because they decided to join the cult. T small man’s shout was to ask for help from the cult members who are hiding. That’s enough to assume that he’s with the cult already.

“Since you two don’t seem to know anything, there’s no need to let you live and bring you to the guards. If you meet my horse after death, be careful. He bites on people I hate,” I said before I cut off their neck.

“...You knew... everything?” the small man who is still alive asked in his last breath.

“Not everything. Just enough to let me know that you are an enemy and have chosen to stay as our enemy.”

I stopped caring for the small man and his friends, and turn my attention to the cult members. I don’t think they are kind enough to let us pass just like that. Though I have decided that only one side will live while the other die.

Let’s try to capture them all first. Though deep in my heart, I wish that they would fight back as hard as they could so I can just kill them instead. But information is important so I’ll try my best to let them live.
