The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 159: Saving People

Chapter 159: Saving People

"As expected, sneak attack suit me best."

"You just stole my kill! Did you forget that the more monster I defeated, the more time I will have and then it will be your turn to increase your summoning element?"

"I didn't forget. I just thought that surviving is more important. Killing enemies quickly is better than spending too much time on just one."

After killing the expert level mage and his group, I regrouped with Victoria who's fighting monsters near the south gate. Thanks to her the numbers of monsters are declining and more people able to evacuate with the guidance of Hill's people.

She's still in her black mantis form, so now for others it looks like I'm her master. Of course I'm still wearing my mask so no one know that the master of this black praying mantis is the same guy who throw his slime at a practice target. And we're a distance away from other people so no one noticed us talking.

As soon as I reached here, I see Victoria is struggling against a Cyclops. Must be because she isn't used to her mantis form yet. And she doesn't want any witness to know that she is my summon. She really knows me well.

While the Cyclops is busy fighting against Victoria, Hill's people used that chance to get the citizens to safety. And now, there are no more witnesses but Victoria doesn't know about it, so I sneak attacked the Cyclops and killed it.

"Roy, that Cyclops is the strongest monster that has entered the city through the south gate. The rest of the monsters can easily be handled by other hunters. And if you have taken care of the traitors, the southern area should be safe now. We should split up and see the east gate and the west gate."

Victoria told me the situation here. Seems like this Cyclops is the strongest monster that break through the gate. Although there are also other monsters that being carried by the wyverns that has entered the city, the south gate should be fine now.

"Alright. You will go east and I will go west. On the way, there should be several monsters in the city that has trespa.s.sed by riding on the wyverns' back. Kill them if you see them on the way."

With this, all the gates should be taken care of. I heard that Kron is in the city so he must be taking care of the monsters he found. I didn't see him anywhere so he should be near the north gate. I'll contact Sonia to tell him to check on the south gate after I leave this place.

"By the way Roy, I think this mantis form is too hard for me. Do you know what kind of monsters with the most similar form as humans that I can transform to?" Victoria asked me.

"How about Succubus? They seem humanoid enough for you, right? You can just add their wings on your humanoid form's back."

"Hmm… I don't think that's a good idea. Succubus don't use weapon." Victoria said.

Right. I forgot that Victoria is expert with swords. I guess that's why she's transformed into a praying mantis since their arms are shaped like a blade. But its blades keep pointing downward so it's difficult for Victoria to fight normally.

I'm thinking for a bit to what type of monsters fit for Victoria's transformation. It must be a humanoid ones. I can tell her to transform into a hobgoblin, but I don't think she will like it.

I don't know much about monsters since I rarely fought against them. I only started to fight monsters in the latter part of my life. Maybe I should give her a transformation from a monster I read in stories.

That's right! That transformation is perfect for her!

"How about a living armor? I don't know if they are real or not, but a living armor is a perfect choice for you don't you think? You can shape the armor however you like and have it wield any weapon you like. Just pretend you're in your normal humanoid form, but this time, you're wearing armor." I suggested a living armor to Victoria.

After hearing my word, she transformed into her normal humanoid form instead of an armor. She said this way, it will be easier to imagine the type of armor she want to have.

Then the armor she transformed into… her helmet looks just like an ordinary knight's helmet. I only saw the pictures in books though so I don't know if that's what a knight's helmet looks like. But Victoria is from another world so she must be using knights from her previous world as the base of her armor.

As for her body armor… she transformed into an armor which shows her curves. Is that normal in other world? I don't know. Then I tried to see through her armor, and it was hollow. Although she doesn't need to make it empty as other people can't see inside, she's still making the inside of the armor is empty just like a real living armor.

"Perfect. Let's split up now. Good luck!"

We split up right away after she has transformed. Now everyone will think that a living armor is protecting them. They will guess that a summoner or maybe a tamer is helping them.

I'm jumping from building to building and go to the west gate to check the situation. On the way, I see a wyvern ascend to the sky and go somewhere. That one must have just dropping its pa.s.sengers.

I looked at where the wyvern appear from and see Kron is there fighting monsters while protecting civilians. He's all alone. No Hill's people or the king's agents are nearby. We really lacking in numbers.

I have no choice but to help him.

"Kron! Distract the monsters while I evacuate the people!"

Kron looked at me and then smiled as he returned to fight the monsters again.

I look around to find where the people are hiding. They are hiding in separate location.

Let's see… there are only ten people here. Nine of them are kids and one is an adult woman. Are they from an orphanage? Or everyone is her children? Doesn't matter. They need to be rescued.

Saving kids will be difficult. I can't tell them to get over here and they will comply. They are too scared. I guess I'll just grab them and gather them in one spot, then bring them all to safety while leaving the monsters with Kron.

The adult woman is protecting three kids, so I need to find the other six kids and bring them to the woman. The woman and three kids are hiding in an empty restaurant. So the first person I need to save is the one that can be seen by the monsters first.

Kron should be able to kill them all in an instant, but he's being careful to make sure he didn't attack the kids accidentally. I need to be quick.

The first kid I grabbed is the one right behind Kron that he's trying to protect. There are three others behind him but they are further than the first kid. But before I grabbed the other kids, I have something to inform Kron first.

"From here, straight to that Ogre's location, no civilians in sight!"

"Thanks!"

Hearing my words, Kron cast a powerful Blizzard magic to that spot and killed three monsters and the surrounding area. The buildings are destroyed, but there's no casualties at all. Well, there's actually a cult member hiding over there and he died being crushed under that building. But he's an enemy so it's fine.

I grabbed the kid and hold her with my left arm, then I run to where the other two are hiding and carried them all to the restaurant where the woman is hiding.

"Hide here first. I'll go get the other three kids."

"Wait! There should be ten kids here!" The woman shouted.

Ten? Then there should be one more, right? I didn't see anyone.

"David was eaten by that dragon. He's dead." One kid spoke without hiding his fear. Although he said it's a dragon, I think he still doesn't know the differences between dragon and wyvern. But I understood what he meant.

Hearing that the woman cried. The other kids also cry following their guardian.

"Don't cry! You're still alive so you need to survive first! If you cry, the monsters will know where we hide! I'll find the other three and then I'll bring all of you to safety! I promise that those who are here will survive."

Can't believe that a wyvern has eaten that kid. I'm too late to save that kid. And that wyvern has flew somewhere else. At least I need to get these kids to safety.

I left the restaurant and search for the rest of the kids. Thanks to my vision, I can see where they are hiding. It only took me less than two minutes to get those three and return to the restaurant.

"Alright, everyone is here. Follow me to safety!"

I carried two kids on each arm, makes four in total. Then I had two slightly older kids on my back. I told them to hug my neck tightly as I carry them. Which left the woman and three kids. The three kids are the oldest three among the kids here so I asked them to run on their own with the woman.

"Kron! There's no people within thirty meters!"

Of course I inform Kron that it's safe to use powerful magic now.

After saying that, Kron used her ice-wind combination magic just like the one he used in the orc settlement.

I forgot to tell him to wait until we're away from him. But it looks like the wind here is not that strong. Even kids can still walk albeit there's a bit difficulty.

As I lead the way to one of the evacuation center, I met one of Hill's men.

"Hey! Bring everyone here to safety! I have somewhere to go!"

"Alright, Roy. Be careful!"

After leaving everyone under his protection, I continue moving to the west gate.
