The Only Aura User In Magic World

Well, except for Angela. Though Victoria is close to her ears whispering to Angela to calm down. I hope the bandit leader won’t notice Victoria’s whisper.

Well, even if he does, it doesn’t matter. We have the confidence to win.

Even if he’s a master level wind mage who can fly very fast, I doubt he’s faster than me when I ride on Ray’s back.

The man pretend to be angry and started attacking us using Wind Slash. But Carmen stopped it by creating water from the atmosphere to block his attack.

Since his attack couldn’t pierce through her defense, I guess he’s holding back his power enough to make people think that he’s just an expert level mage. But he’s still a master level mage. He noticed my gaze when he’s flying this way and pretend to not notice it when he’s quite far away. That’s something that only master level mage can do. Expert level mage won’t notice that I’m looking at them from far away unless they are at the same level as Angela.

We have fought a lot of artificial master level mages. But the time when we were sparring against master level ancient Aura users gave us much more benefit and knowledge of what master level mages can do.

.....

And I even fought against someone who has reached a stage beyond master level. I ended up winning. No, it’s not me alone. It’s us. I must never think that I can do everything alone.

Carmen started fighting the bandit leader. The rest of us were just watching.

Well, I quickly got bored knowing that he’s holding back. I guess I’ll just look for the treasures inside the hidden rooms. There are a lot of them.

“Angela, Kayla, I’ll go look for more treasures. What will you do?” I asked the two.

“Unlike you, I have never truly experienced fighting someone strong. Most of it was just sparring and a fight where I don’t need to risk my life. I’ll just watch and see if I can learn something,” Kayla said.

She didn’t say that she never fought against master level mage because she’s wary that the bandit leader can hear us talking.

As she said, she has never experienced a fight where she risk her life. It’s because we are proteting each other. And she’s important as our strategist as well so it was better if she stays in the back line.

But that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t need to grow stronger. That’s why she wanted to watch the fight and learn from it.

As for Angela, she didn’t answer. But I can tell that she doesn’t want to move from that spot. Victoria must have told her to not say anything in case the bandit leader could hear her. It’s good that she was with Angela.

I guess I’ll just check the treasures myself.

As I was walking back to the treasure vault, a Wind Slash is approaching me. Carmen was late to realizes it and unable to stop it. But that’s not a problem for the current me.

I don’t need any weapon to stop the Wind Slash. I just swung my hand as if I was slashing something. With a little bit of Super Aura infused, not only I disperse the Wind Slash. But the swing of my spearhand is flying toward the bandit leader.

My attack didn’t slash him because that’s not what I intended. But it hits him right in the chest. He must be feeling that something big was hitting him.

“Hey! You’re right that she’s not the strongest mage. But even if you used your full power as a master level mage, it doesn’t mean that you can win against Carmen! And Angela might not need to fight at all! I’ll tell you the same thing. The world is much bigger than what you know! I didn’t care how you provoke us before. I mean we’re using you as our sparring partner. It’s rare for us to fight against master level mage. Anyway, that’s how it is. Don’t bother me with anything else anymore,” I said as I entered the treasure vault with Ray.

The bandit leader was confused. And he was even more confused when Kayla used healing magic on him.

“Just as he said. You are only here to be our sparring partner. If he wants to, he could just kill you right away. I’ll heal you and then you will continue fighting with Carmen. If you win, you are free to leave. But if she’s in danger, we will interrupt. Since you’re a master level mage, we don’t have to hold back when we’re interrupt your fight. I hope you won’t die if that happens. Anyway, if you win, I’ll tell him to spar your life. There, I have healed you. Now, go back to fighting!” Kayla said to the man.

What a pitiful man. He flies here thinking that he can get the treasures, but it ended with him as the girls’ sparring partner.

Well, now that he has stopped holding back, Carmen’s battle became harder. But Carmen didn’t complain as she continued trying her best to defeat the bandit leader.

And the man can’t keep his cool knowing that he’s fallen into our trap. He should have left when he noticed that someone was watching him.

Well, let’s ignore him and look for treasures.

I entered the vault, and face the wall in front of me. Behind this wall, there’s a hidden room with various weapons inside.

There are other hidden rooms as well. One full of magical items, another with magical clothes, another with magical accesories, and another with magic potions. But I don’t think those potions will still work after three thousand years. They must have been expired already.

Why would Timmy keep them? I’ll just get someone to appraise them and see if they can still be consumed. If not, it’s best to throw them away.

I destroyed the wall with a punch and entered it. There are various weapons here. Other than some staffs and wands, I guess I’m the only one who can use them. Maybe Victoria can use them when she’s riding Ray. She can slightly use Aura when she’s riding Ray after all. Or I’ll just give them to the monsters. They should be able to use these weapons.

The fight... seems like it will still go on for quite a while. I’ll just gather all the weapons here and went to the next room.

I’m actualy itching to test those weapons right away. But I don’t know what effect they will have. If the one I tested turns out to have the ability to create explosion, I’ll end up destroying the rest of the weapons. And if there are other explosives in the other rooms, they might get triggered and destroy everything here. I don’t want that to happen, so I’ll test them later.

I destroyed a wall from this room to get directly to the next room. I’m wondering why Timmy would sort the treasures here, while on the other vaults, he just store them however he wants.

Well, I will never be able to understand what’s inside a weirdo’s head. Let’s just grab everything.

How’s the outside? Oh, after a while, seems like Carmen finaly got the advantages. I guess that man never had any fighting experience against someone strong. He’s just a bandit after all.

My guess is that he hoard all the magic stones for his own cultivation, and cultivate most of his time. While the other bandits were just given gold so they are not that strong.

Well, the winner is obvious. But we learned something as well. Master level mages don’t have anyone to compare their abilities with. So, they should be weaker than expected.

Hopefully, the master level mages from the cult we will face will be inexperienced as this guy is.

The battle is over with Carmen’s victory. Though she is tired, she seems happy. As for the man, he’s unconscious. Should we kill him?

I opened a portal to Victoria’s location and ask them what to do with him after I entered it.

“Should we kill him? He’s still a master level mage, so if he could join us, we our power will be stronger,” Kayla suggested to spare the man’s life and use him as a slave. Well, she didn’t say to turn him into a slave. But that’s how it will end up anyway.

“Let’s get Albert to interrogate him later. Victoria, tie him up. I’ll get the others back here and have someone watch over this guy,” I said.

I opened a portal and get Bernard, Luna, and the others to return. Bernard asked someone to watch the bandit leader, and then we returns to gathering the treasures.

Not only we get the treasures Timmy left behind, we also received a master level mage we can use. What a bargain!

Though I ended up being scolded by Luna for letting her mother be injured. Especially when she sees the future where defeating that man was easy. Truly, sorry about that.
