The Only Aura User In Magic World

807 The Blacksmith’s Revenge

“It’s them...”

Hearing the report from the agent, the blacksmith look angry. And his granddaughter is holding his hand tightly.

“They’re the one who threatened you and killed her parents?” I asked. Though it’s already obvious the answer is.

“That’s right. Just because there are more of them, they think that they can do whatever they want knowing that I’m just alone protecting my granddaughter. They must be here trying to recruit me again. With force most likely,” the blacksmith said.

“Then you don’t have to worry. If you want, you can go wild and kill them all by yourself. We will protect your granddaughter. Don’t forget that any one of us, can defeat all of them right away,” I said.

“Thank you for that. Then, I’ll do just that. Please protect my granddaughter while I kill them all. And I will promise you that I will make the best equipment for you all. I will even keep improving my skill so that my products will be better and better,” the blacksmith said. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

“Do that after you done with your revenge. Also, don’t worry about them escaping. They can’t. This place is already surrounded,” I said.

“...I think you guys are scarier than them,” the blacksmith said.

Some agents have returned from investigating. And they’re all already hiding behind the trees.

.....

Even if the enemies are expert level mages, these agents have trained their stealth skill. So unless the opponent is a master level mage, they would have difficulty detecting the hiding agents.

Also, we have master level mages and an Aura Master here. There’s nothing to worry about.

Escaping? In their dream.

Though for the agents to have returned, I guess they have finished their investigation. I guess there’s not much to find here.

“Here they come. Little girl, go hide yourself behind those four people swinging their swords,” I said.

Even though we’re not that close to the master level mages, they should have listened our conversation. They might act like they don’t care. But when I said to the girl to come to them, the four master level mages made a space for girls to hide while being surrounded by them who are still swinging their swords. So those four people are swinging their weapons to the opposite direction of where the girl will hide.

The girl then agreed and hide behind them. And the master level mages still swinging their weapons. They are trying to use spears this time.

Soon after, five people arrived. One of them is an agent who is pretending to be weak though. He’s not injured badly from what I can see. Just a bit of healing and he’ll recover completely. In fact, he might not need healing magic at all.

“Why are you here again?! I told you that if you don’t want want to die, never come here again!” the blacksmith shouted.

“Oh, you have guests? Are they your customers from the theater? Swinging a weapon around, look at how stupid they look like. Can they even protect your granddaughter?”

The thug who said that then casually cast a Fireball toward the girl’s direction. But the Fireball hit the master level fire mage and she felt nothing. Though I can see that she cast a Fire Barrier right in front of her so it seems like she was hit directly.

“Oh, she’s pretty strong. Are they perhaps people you hired for protection?” the thug asked.

“How dare you targeted Tina! I will kill you right here right now!”

The blacksmith was angry that his granddaughter got targeted right away. And he immediately cast a strong fire magic toward the enemy.

They didn’t expect him to attack right away. And the fire mage who aimed at Tina is too weak for the blacksmith. His fire is not as hot as the blacksmith’s fire. And the fire engulfed that guy and he died in pain.

Is it safe to show such thing to his granddaughter? Oh, she seems happy that she saw the one who killed her parents died in front of her it seems. But there are still three more people.

“Kill him! Kill everyone here as well!”

Well, that’s impossible. Also, the agent who was pretending to be captured has already escaped at the same time that guy died.

Though how did he get captured? He should be acting as a hunter, right? Maybe those idiots think that he can be used as a baggage carrier. And to force him to do that, they need to show him who’s the boss. By hitting him again and again until he gave up.

Well, now that agent is being healed by another agent in hiding. As for those thugs there’s no need to care about these weaklings.

All of them tried to kill the blacksmith and his granddaughter. Using a wide spell that hit a large area. But they would never realized that the ones they are attacking are master level mages.

As for the magic that came my way, I just dodged them. Jumping high is easy. Especially since there doesn’t seem to be any wind mage among them.

After a while, they noticed that the old blacksmith is actually stronger than them despite being at the same level. In fact, among many expert level fire mages, his fire could be the strongest and the hottest. Though in real battle, I think Candy can win easily.

Another man died. And now the other two are trying to escape only to be blocked by the agents. Some of the agents have just arrived. Which mean those who are late might have finished the investigation completely.

I guess they split up. Some were coming back here to report to us, while the some were finishing their investigation.

And now that they are done, they have all returned. Some even bring some gifts.

The thugs tried to breakthrough. But they never expected that those who are surrounding them are expert level mages. So they surrendered.

But the blacksmith ignored that and killed another one. That’s what you get when you killed someone’s family.

“If you kill me, then the higher ups will hear about this! Not just you, but everyone here will be killed!” the man shouted. Trying to make the blacksmith to not kill him.

“If it’s the group in the city whose real goal is to recruit exceptional individuals for the cult, then there’s nothing to worry about. None of them are master level mages, so we have finished cleaning up everything.”

One of the agent who had just arrived said that, and then he dropped the proofs that the group in the cult has been cleaned up. The last thug seems to notice what they are and he realized that there’s no way out anymore.

“You should have keep that explosion device in your mouth even after you reached expert level. That way, you can kill yourself instead of having someone do it for you. Well, if you’re with the cult. If you’re not, then I guess you don’t understand what I’m saying,” I said mockingly. But he looked confused instead. Though it didn’t take long since the blacksmith killed him soon after.

“This is for my family!”

The blacksmith killed the last thug. And now the blacksmith and his granddaughter have finished with their revenge. They’re hugging each other in tear.

As for me, I walked to the agent who dropped the proofs of that organization.

“So, they are from the cult?” I asked. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

“It’s weird. Rather than from the cult, it was like they are being paid by the cult to find excellent individuals for the cult to recruit. There’s no proof at all that they are with the cult. We just found some letters sent by someone from the cult. And the last time that they made contact with this group was back when you were investigating alone for weeks in the Monsters World. I guess they are already dead. But we will ask some agents we know to stay here and investigate more,” the agent said.

“Okay. Good job. Do you want me to return you back to the inn?” I asked.

“No need. It won’t take long for us to go back anyway. And we might be able to find something. Well, I’ll be back later for dinner. Don’t eat everything, okay?”

The agents then left. Leaving us behind.

“So, have you feel any weapon that suits you?” I asked the four master level mages.

“I feel like a sword is good. This one that I can hold with two hands. A two-handed sword is what Sonia said. Since I’m strong, I can lift it with one hand. As long as I learn the right technique, I think this is a good choice,” the summoner said.

“This spear. I picked something that I can use while riding on a monster. Though I still don’t have any tamed monster yet,” the tamer said.

The two picked weapons that can be used while riding something. I guess they’re already thinking of what monster they want to make contract with.

As for the two female master level mages, they haven’t made their decision yet.

“Don’t forget to try a barehanded fight as well. Maybe that’s why none of these weapon suit you. Though there are also many other weapons that haven’t been tested yet,” I said.

I think that’s enough of testing the weapons here. We will have more time later since the blacksmith will move to my place.
