The Only Aura User In Magic World

“You know, you got me and Airy by your side almost all the time. But it feels like we’re just accessories most of the time,” Victoria suddenly complained.

“Because we’re in a mission. And it will be troublesome if people hear you talk when you’re not in your human form. So just pretend that you’re an accessory. Just tell me if you realized something important and that’s good enough,” I said.

“As for me, I’m fine with it. I don’t need to talk much and only talk when it’s necessary. I like it,” Airy said.

Right. Airy is much quieter than Victoria. She’s just looking around and most of the time she spoke was when she’s curious at something that she saw for the first time. Or when she sensed something was wrong. But that’s only when there’s a mission.

Victoria does talk a lot. Especially when it comes to her hobbies. Or when she’s talking to Marie about new inventions. Or when she’s hanging out with the girls. Or when she’s... wait, she speaks less with me and more with the others?

Well, it’s not like we have to talk to each other all the time anyway. So what if we’re lovers? That doesn’t mean that we have to force each other to listen to what the other party doesn’t enjoy listening. Though we still need to talk about something important.

“Enough talking. I see someone over there.”

Far in front of us, there’s someone who seem to be patrolling. Maybe because of the two agents, the people in the city became suspicious and started patrolling. I didn’t hear anything about them patrolling after all.

.....

As expert level mages, those agents wouldn’t notice when a master level mage noticed them. But I can tell. So I know that the man in front of us still hasn’t noticed us yet.

I have learned to only watch people’s body and their movement instead of looking at them in their eyes. I can’t tell their identity, but it’s enough to tell that there are people there without having them notice me.

This is an important place for the cult. So there might be more master level mages than even the Lawless Country. That’s why I have to be careful.

“I can sense another air magic was used here,” Airy informed me.

“Okay. Tell me if you can find the one who cast that magic. There is someone nearby so let’s not talk much,” I said.

If he’s a master level wind mage, then he can hear us talking all the way here if he’s using his magic. If he’s a master level earth mage, then he can sense my location just from the vibration on the ground. But it doesn’t seem like he’s either one of them.

Well, this infiltration mission is difficult for anyone but me. I need to cast air magic to let the wind move freely so wind mages won’t sense anything abnormal. But they will still be able to sense that I’m using magic if I’m close enough.

And for earth mages, I can cover the vibration on the ground whenever I move if I move carefully using Aura covered my whole body. This is something I learned to bypass Celestine’s detection. Though she’s just an expert level mage, it’s good enough to not be noticed by master level earth mage from far away.

Yeah, I trained a lot for sneaking mission where I have to be hidden. But I still prefer direct confrontation.

Though we can’t let the cult escape. So for this infiltration mission, if possible, I have to get rid of all summoner first. After all, they are most likely the reason why there’s a city in this place.

I should go somewhere else. If I go this way, that guy will notice me.

I’m not riding on Ray, so I just run. And I just run in the air.

“We’ll look for a safe hiding place as soon as we get there and observe where the agent is hiding before making our move,” I said.

“And our next move is to...”

“Kill all the summoners in this place,” I replied to Victoria.

“And Albert said that this is an infiltration mission. When will you start calling for reinforcement?” Victoria asked again.

“When I can no longer find summoners and need them to open a portal to identify them,” I said.

“But how will you identify them without them opening portals?”

“Victoria, do you know? This is just another one of enemy base. Everyone is enemy. Even if the one I killed is not a summoner, it won’t be a problem,” I said.

“...You never thought of this as an infiltration mission, do you?”

“Assassination mission at minimum. Or maybe I’m just a courier responsible to deliver people. What you call a taxi. And they will be the one killing everyone,” I said.

There’s no way a sneak mission will stay as hidden as it should be when I, someone who hate the cult the most, is doing it. And I’m somewhere where everyone is my enemy.

Now I can see the city. And as the agent said, there’s no children here. There are men and women. But I don’t see any pregnant women. Probably they are being transported somewhere else where their newborn baby can be educated in the way of the cult.

So, as soon as the babies are born, they will be taught the cult’s way.

And how can they travel? By using summoners.

They can easily get their monster stay in some place and the summoner will just open a portal when needed to their familiar’s location. That’s easy.

That’s why I need to kill their summoners first. And if the summoners are not here but their familiars are here, I will just kill the monsters. That way, those summoners won’t be able to come here.

And when they need reinforcement, they can only wait for master level mages or monsters contracted by the cult members to pass through the Magicless Area. Which should be difficult.

Also, Tiger said that his master is the one who gave him the order to eliminate one of the agents. So his master should be here. And if I could kill the tamer right away and inform Tiger about it, I can still ask Tiger to stay in Magicless Area. So, when reinforcement from the cult is coming, Tiger can stop them.

So, summoners and tamers. Let’s go look for them.

I bet no one would think that someone is infiltrating this city. This place has master level mages all over the place. But as long as I’m doing it right, none of them can notice me.

There are buildings all over the place. Just like a normal big city. But there are no thugs because... everyone is a thug? I guess so. That’s why the back alleys are empty. And I can easily find hiding place. I just hope that I won’t get too close with any mage with good detection ability.

Everyone is busy. But if it’s the summoners, they should be in a safe place and will only be doing their job when needed. Like when it’s time for them to deliver their supplies.

That means they are probably resting in their homes. I guess I will infiltrate their houses and assassinate them in their sleep.

I entered the first house and stabbed the heart of a man sleeping there. The next house, there’s a couple. A man and a woman. And I killed both of them the same way.

Then, there’s another couple. A woman and another woman. And I killed both of them.

“You’re not going to greet them first and say, “Let me join!” or something?” Victoria asked.

“No. I already have lovers. And for the next house, don’t you dare say that for me,” I said.

Because the next house has another couple. And this time, they are both men. Something that Victoria like.

“...I’ll endure myself,” she said.

Obviously, I killed them as well.

And I keep doing this in every house that I see people are sleeping.

I don’t think that all of them are summoners. There might be some who are wandering around the city and not resting.

But this is everyone who is resting at the moment. Maybe I should have infiltrate this place at night.

“I guess that’s all. Then let’s go to that junkie,” I said.

In this city, I found someone who doesn’t look as healthy and as energetic as everyone else. He was taking drugs. He’s a drug addict. And I’m going to put the blame of killing those people on him.

“You killed all of those people, and you’re thinking of making him take the fall?” Victoria asked.

“I will also make it look like he committed suicide after killing those people. At least once someone figured out that something happened, it will buy us time to get reinforcement. They will think that he did it before they investigate it,” I said.

That junkie is a pharmacist. And he opened the only pharmacy in this city.

As a doctor, I can just make it look like he consumed some more drug before he did those act. I just need to find the right drug for it. Some drugs that he often used, and some others to make it look like he’s experimenting on those drugs.

This way, everyone who knows him will think that he killed everyone and himself after using that drug on himself.

So, don’t do drugs or a real bad guy will use that to blame his crimes on you. Like me.
