The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 404 - Twelve-Winged Archangel

So far, I learned a lot of spearmanship from the angels. It was worthwhile staying here and entertain these angels.

But it has become too repetitive!

They approached me, use the same technique, and fail. Then, I knock them out.

At first, it was difficult. And as it became too repetitive, I became bored. Why are they so stupid!?

"Tsk! You're stronger than I thought. But soon, you will fall. And you will rescue the trapped angels!" the archangel, Graham, said.

"Like I said, if you want to save them, save them yourself!"

This guy, and the other angels, know that I'm a human. But they don't seem to know about Aura. I guess none of them have lived for more than a thousand years.

And that just makes it easier for me to fight them.

It was too easy in fact my moves became repetitive as well.

Now that I don't care anymore, I have used Aura to defeat them faster. After all, if everyone is knocked out, no one would be able to heal them.

Even those who are just lining up preparing themselves to fight me, I knocked them out with the staff of Reizpear. At least I'm still kind enough to not kill them.

"Come on! If you're all going to keep this stupid act, it will lead you to your extinction!" I shouted.

After all, it was really easy if I choose to kill them. Though I don't know about the archangel since he still hasn't made any action yet.

If they choose to provoke me more with their stupidity, I will kill them all. No mercy for them.

"Enough! All of you are too weak against him. I'll take care of him alone!" Graham said as he stepped forward with a spear in hand.

The spear in his hand is made of gold. And seems to be much stronger than the other angels' spears. Let's see how good he is.

"After all this time and you only step forward now? How about we make a bet?" I suggested.

"What bet?" Graham asked.

Obviously, what I want is manpower.

Although the angels are weak, I can see that they have potential to be stronger than werewolves. Especially since they can use magic.

Werewolves themselves have self-recovery skill, but angels have healing magic, and also light magic. Though I haven't seen them use their light magic.

Well, other than shooting beam like Sunny did, I don't know other offensive magic a light mage can use.

"If you win, I will rescue everyone that got trapped under the building. If I win, you will become my next summoned monster, and have all the angels obey my order," I said.

Well, I will rescue the angels whether I win or lose. After all, I needed more people, or in this case monsters, to help us and be our allies. And even if I lose here, I just need to rescue the angels. Easy. Though I don't think I will lose here.

"Good. I agree with that condition. Let's fight!" Graham said.

And as expected of their stupidity, he agreed without any hesitation.

But this guy seems to have confident in his skill. Let's see what he got.

Oh? He's faster than the other angels. But not fast enough for me to counter.

As he swung his golden spear, I blocked it with my staff. Unexpectedly, his attack was much stronger than the other angels'. I have to use Aura on the staff to block his attack.

Now, this is a real fight. A fight where my only choices are to win, or to escape. I don't want to die a stupid death again after all. I will escape if I think I'm going to die.

Graham was confused why I could block his attack, but he decided to ignore his confusion and continues our exchanges.

He's better in his technique, speed, and weapon quality. But I'm better in term of power. Though his healing magic will help him recover if he ever got injured.

This might take a while until it's over, but I can learn a lot from him.

A good technique, even when the man using it is visibly weaker than the opponent, can hold much more power than a muscular man without any technique.

…fuck.

I'm not losing the fight, but I enjoyed it. Why?

I was supposed to be someone who fought with a clear goal in mind. Not for the sake of winning. But look at me now!

Is it because I have gained confidence in my strength? Or is it that I just want to prove the result of my training?

I just want to live in peace after destroying the cult, but I'm enjoying a fight now.

And it's also because Graham is someone I can fight on par with after Grandpa Werewolf.

If it's like this, one day I will die the same way as I did before in my previous life. I don't want that. I have many things I want to protect now.

Alright, Roy. That's enough enjoying the fight. Keep rational mind, and find the opponent's weaknesses. Find a chance to win this in an instant instead of wasting too much time fighting.

I have learned enough to be able to improve myself next time. And once I win, Graham will be my familiar and I can ask him to train me. Let's just win this already.

"Tch! I can't win like this. Everyone! Attack him!" Graham gave the order to the other angels who were watching. And they obeyed as they flew toward me while Graham take a step back to catch his breath and use healing magic on himself.

So, once he's cornered, he will be smarter? Should I call Shelia and Spot to help?

Not yet. I want them to know that I'm the strongest when Graham become my familiar. I will make sure no one disobey my order next time.

For the werewolves, I defeated their king and became the next Werewolf King. And they easily obey my orders. They also said that they won't fight for the title at least until the cult is destroyed.

But for the angels, I need to show them how powerful I am to make sure that they are afraid of me. Different person, different treatment.

Let's go all out as well now. I don't want to become someone who enjoys battle too much again.

And to put fear into their hearts, I recovered Reizpear's blade back to the shaft. Now, it has become a normal spear instead of just a staff.

As expected, some of them have frightened expression in their faces.

Can my Aura be used to cover the blade so I won't give any fatal injury? There's no need to try it out. I have this power to kill.

But what if they won't obey me after I killed some of them?

…I'll try not to kill them.

With my spearmanship learned from them, I slashed their arms and legs easily. They can heal themselves, so it will be fine.

I keep slashing, thrusting, and swinging my spear toward the angels as more of them got knocked out faster. And they seem to be out of mana as their healing rate is slowed down.

Good. This way, I can finish this faster.

"He's just one human! Kill him!" Graham ordered.

Seems like he no longer wants me to rescue the trapped angels anymore. Well, I don't care. I'll just kick everyone's asses.

Oh? As I was about to fight back, some of the angels in the back used light magic to blind me. Well, that won't work on me. I have my Divine Vision.

"Blinding me won't work!"

"What!? He's fighting with his eyes closed!?"

Seeing that they have no chance, Graham… he gritted his teeth and whispered something.

Although I can't hear him, and my lipreading skill is not that good, at least I know that he's saying something like 'I have no other choice'.

"Move away! I will use everything I have to kill him!" Graham shouted.

And then, as he ordered, the other angels move away and keep their distance.

Meanwhile, I see that Graham is… transforming?

Wait, there are three more pairs of wings on his back!? He has twelve wings now!?

"Now, you've seen my final form. I will kill you right now," he said.

"…what about rescuing the angels?"

"Die!"

He ignores me as he charged toward me with the gold spear in his hand.

He's much faster now, but since he's charging straight forward, I can predict his movement.

But I was wrong.

As I was about to face him, he suddenly changes direction. Graham who was in front of me is now in my right side.

I can't block him. So, the only thing I can do is… to escape.

As I saw him suddenly moves to my right side, I ignored his presence and run forward. His attack missed, and I gained distance.

"Huff… that was close. So you're faster now? So what?" I provoked him.

"What? Of course I will kill you!"

"That's wrong. I won't lose after all. So, prepare yourself to be my familiar," I said.

I can still see a chance for me to win. And there's also something that I want to try.

Well, for this fight, I will use Victoria to the fullest.
