The Only Aura User In Magic World

"I'll carry this guy to where I put the other prisoners are. You guys go take a break back at the hotel. Once you rested enough, return to fight the monsters. I will also return to the hotel after I carried this guy there."

Rather than carrying, it was more like pulling. I have dislocated his joints and let him lay on the ground as I pulled his leg. So it's not exactly carrying.

I also told the others to go rest in the hotel for a while. Lina should have some food to give us. And I'll be joining them as well.

"Alright. By the way, how many prisoners did you take?" Candy asked.

"Seven. Eight if I including this guy on the list. Well, some of them should be dead already. But I made sure they died in pain so no one will follow him."

I remembered how one prisoner shot his own balls and screamed in pain as the others are watching. Only crazy bastards would follow suit.

"And how many people did you kill?" Candy asked again.

Did she suspect me trying to kill everyone instead of capturing them? Well she's right. Let's just answer her honestly.

"More than one."

That's my honest answer.

"Digits. He hadn't finished speaking. He's saying he has killed more than one digit of them." Victoria said.

"Well, that's as expected. It's too difficult to capture more people after all in this situation. But seven of them are good enough. But I don't think any one of them would say anything."

"That's right! No matter what you asked, none of us will say anything! I don't know how you figure it out, but we are not someone who will say something easily!"

Luiz suddenly spoke after hearing Candy's words. Well, I don't expect any of them to actually talk after all. Let's just show him what I can do.

"Ehem… cough… lala, no that's wrong. Lala? Lalala? Lalilu? Oh this one sounds right?"

I mumbled nonsense while everyone is hearing. None of them know what I had in mind.

"What are you doing?" Luiz is the first one to ask.

And I answered him after I adjusted my voice with air magic. That nonsense mumbling was me practicing how to alter my voice to be similar to Luiz's.

"What do you think I'm doing?" I spoke with his voice.

"That's… my voice! Don't tell me you…" Luiz and everyone is shocked to hear Luiz's voice coming out of my mouth.

"Yeah. I don't need you to say anything. After the stampede over, we will tell everyone about your cult, your goal, and everything that we know about the cult. You will stand in front of the public and I will speak with your voice. Isn't that great? Since we don't need you to speak anymore, I think it's better if I just cut your tongue, right? Anyone who doesn't want to see it please look away. Kayla. You just need to heal him after I finished cutting his tongue."

"Okay." Kayla followed my order.

"Wait! I'll speak! Don't cut my tongue!" Luiz begged me.

"Hmm? For someone who used to carry an explosive inside his mouth, you seem to be too scared to die." I asked him.

"I don't want to die! I put that thing in my mouth because it was something that everyone has to have when they joined the cult! Please don't cut my tongue or kill me! I will tell you everything!" Luiz continue to beg me to spare his life.

I look at Candy and Ms. Wendy's reaction. Seems like they let me decide on my own.

Without saying anything, I pulled out his tongue and cut it with the blade of my spear.

"Kayla, heal."

"Understood."

Luiz screamed in pain. And he can't move his body since I dislocated his joint. It looks weird seeing a man screaming in pain like this.

I feel annoyed to hear his screaming so I knock him out.

After I knock him out, I pulled his leg again and about to bring him with me when Ms. Wendy stopped me.

"Roy. Do you think that was the right choice? Cutting his tongue? What if he has a secret to tell us?" Ms. Wendy asked.

"Well, we already have one informant already. One is already difficult to trust. And having two will make it harder."

"You still don't trust Ve… that girl?" Ms. Wendy carefully stopped calling Veronica by name in case Luiz or someone else is listening.

"Yes. We should really have Albert meet her at least once. Only then, I will be able to trust her."

With Albert's lie detection skill, I will be able to trust her. It's funny how I can trust everyone else here but Veronica just because she managed to seduce me just once. If it was not for Victoria, I would be dead already. And it was also Victoria who approached her first. Which makes us able to know more about the stampede.

After that, I brought Luiz to the where the other prisoners are. As soon as I arrived there, Luiz's consciousness returned.

We saw in the room where I put the prisoners are that the guy who shoot himself with fireball is no longer breathing. And the other prisoners don't dare to look at the corpse. Even I don't want to.

Then Luiz shouts gibberish words because his tongue was cut. Maybe he said something like why didn't the others kill themselves. I don't know and I don't care. As long as we can keep Luiz alive, it's fine for the other to die.

I put Luiz in the corner of the room so even if someone is casting their magic, it won't reach him. Then I left that place and return to the hotel where I was greeted by delicious food.

"This is…"

"Kayla said that you're coming, so I made these. You should be hungry, right?"

"…Lina! You're the best maid ever!"

I had a feast along with everyone who fought against Luiz. I'm the only one doing it happily. The agents are mourning on their friends' death.

I look below to the basement, and see that some civilians are hiding there. Hill is also there asking the people to be calm.

After finishing my meals, I went below there and told Hill about the prisoners. I told him that he can do anything he want as long as the governor stays alive.

"I hope someone is my type."

Nope. I didn't hear him mumbling something. Not at all.

Then I returned to the dining hall and everyone is ready to go again.

"Have you all rested enough?"

"We can't stay here when we know this isn't over yet." Ms. Wendy said.

"Then why did you wait for me? You can go now."

Then the agents are leaving. Only Kayla, Candy, Ms. Wendy, and Lina stay here.

"What is it?"

They are looking at me curiously.

"Roy, although we caught Luiz, the stampede isn't over yet. What will you do now?" Candy asked.

Victoria who seems to be interested in this discussion, transformed into her human form and take a seat to listen to this discussion.

"Kill more monsters."

"Hmm? I thought you will answer something like you will run away?" Victoria asked.

"Of course I will. Only once I thought that it's impossible to continue fighting. But despite this many monsters coming, we're still doing great. So I have hope that we can do this."

Just a few moments ago, before I go to the north gate, I was being pessimistic. But now after we managed to capture the expert level mage, Luiz, I have expectation that we can do this.

"Sigh… if that's the case, then I'm glad." Victoria said.

"Why?"

"Before the stampede, the girls had a discussion about what to do if you decided to run away. This is the event that affect you the most in your previous life so I thought you have some kind of trauma or something."

Trauma? Well I did have one. It's the trauma of the time I was killed. But I have killed the one responsible for it. Maybe that's how my trauma was healed.

As for this stampede, maybe since I don't have many friends at that time that I don't feel traumatic at all.

"Thanks for worrying, but I'm fine."

"Tsk! Just when I prepared a good speech to say to you." Victoria seems mad.

"Speech? I bet it's something from another story again. You sure love things like that, right?"

"Yes. But I won't say it anymore. But there's still one advice I can give you. Go all out."

"I already go all out, though?" I'm tilted my head in confusion. I always did my best so what does she mean?

"I mean go all out like the Aura user you are. Fight the enemies head on instead of keep running and attacking from distance. This way, you can grow faster and know how powerful you are. All this time, you have been wondering how powerful you are, right? Now it's time to use your real strength. Don't worry about other people seeing you. I'll be your armor to protect your identity."

How strong I am… I don't know the answer to that question. I guess I'll use this chance to try it. I know that I am already way stronger than the day I died, but knowing how strong I am will be extremely useful.

"Fine. I'll do as you say."

And this time, no longer running away!
