The Only Aura User In Magic World

854 5 Days Gone By Underwater

We dived into the sea. Since I’m riding on Spot’s back, I don’t need to swim on my own. I just need to hang onto him while he’s swimming at his fastest speed.

There’s no need for us to camouflage ourselves. Because we are looking for a strong monster. And if we hide ourselves, there won’t be any monsters that can find us. And that destroy the whole point of my exploration. To find my last familiar.

Hmm? Wait. If Spot uses his camouflage instead, then if there’s any monster that can still see us, that means that monster have great senses at least. Maybe it’s better to use camouflage then since we will limit our search only to the monsters that can see us.

Yeah, that’s a great idea. Let’s do that instead.

Talking to Spot underwater for me is impossible, but thanks to the phone, we can use the texting feature to message each other. And I can just send a message to Spot.

He received that message and used magic to read it in his mind. And then he used his camouflage skill to hide us.

And as we dive even deeper, I realized that... my phone started to crack.

I know that Marie made the phone waterproof, but that doesn’t mean that it can endure water pressure. So this time, I used Blobbies to cover the phone so that it won’t get destroyed as we go deeper.

I need a new updated version. Maybe the Blacksmith will help. After all, I’m the one who will dive into the sea the most. After Spot and his children obviously.

.....

As for Spot, his phone is still fine because it has always been protected by Blobbies. After all, Spot doesn’t have a hand to hold the phone by himself. Though making one durable enough to endure the strongest pressure from the bottom of the sea is still better.

Maybe my phone can be used as a shield if that’s the case.

...Well, I’ll just stick at using Victoria and Blobbies. Using a phone as a shield doesn’t seem to be a good idea.

Inside the ocean, I see more monsters like the previous one. The giant fish that can swallow even a flying dragon after jumping out of the surface so high. But under the water, they are so timid that they were even afraid of Spot in his small form back before he used his camouflage ability.

Good thing I didn’t make a contract with it right away.

I can also just make a contract with one of them. And if I’m not satisfied, then I can just kill them. But that will show my other familiars how I don’t care about them at all. I’d like to refrain from doing it at all.

Becoming a master level summoner, even my familiars can send telepathic message to each other. If they know that the contact to one monster is gone, they will notice.

And they can even feel the emotion of each other. So they will know what kill the other monster.

The deeper we go, the bigger the monsters. I bet Shelia would like to fight them. Unfortunately, she can’t breathe underwater. Though that’s good for me. Or she will spend most of her time underwater.

Under the water, it became too dark. Spot who was a Sea Serpent can still see. And I have Divine Vision, so my sight is perfectly fine. As for Victoria, she can’t see anything.

So I used my ability to share my vision with not just Victoria, but Spot as well. So that they can see better.

“Whoa, this is much better than what I usually see. Is this what you see every day?” Spot asked me.

“Obviously not. I rarely go for a dive anymore. But yeah, if you’re talking about how I can see so far and just fine even in the dark, then yeah.”

Obviously, we’re talking via messages through the phone. The only one who can speak here is Victoria. And that’s because she would enter my ear when she wanted to say something.

We can’t tell the time, so we don’t know how long we have been diving. Spot doesn’t seem to need much sleep. And I have a lot of stamina. While Victoria only sleeps when she wants to.

So we just continue searching for monsters. But the ocean is so large. So we don’t know how long we need to look for a monster here.

Maybe I should ask Marie to add the clock function on the phone. That way, I can tell how long we have been underwater.

But the difficult part is about the timezone. Maybe we need something that will automatically change the clock on the phone to the time in the area. Not just on Earth, but in this Monsters World as well.

Well, that will be difficult. But at least if I have a clock, even without that function, I can still tell how long we have been underwater.

“Spot, let’s just continue swimming until either one of us is tired, or that I’m hungry,” I said.

“Okay. If we need a break, then I will swim to the surface right away and look for an island. That’s what you want, right?” Spot asked.

“Correct. Let’s continue for now.”

We found some monsters who can still see us even with the camouflage skill. But Spot alone is enough to defeat them.

With so much ruckus here under the water, I feel that the land is more peaceful. I’m glad that I live on land.

I don’t know how long we have been here. And when I got hungry, we returned to the surface. The sun was still at the same position as when we entered the ocean. Does it mean we have been under the sea for a day? Or maybe several days?

“I guess we’ll return to Cassau soon. Let’s look for an island to mark,” I said to Spot.

We found an island right away, then I opened a portal back to Cassau.

“Welcome back, Roy! Victoria and Spot as well. Did you find it?” Angela asked.

“Nope. We didn’t find any satisfying monster. Also, how long has it been? I’ve been under the water for so long that I can’t tell the time. We just returned because I feel a bit hungry,” I said.

“...It has been five days since you left,” Kayla replied.

“Five days?! And we haven’t found a good monster. Maybe there’s no strong monsters anymore in the sea. I should lower my requirement and let even any monster weaker than Spot to be my familiar,” I said to myself.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. We even need Spot and his children to face the Kraken. We need someone even stronger than Spot. Also, you have witnessed how a competition can make monsters grow. With another sea monster to compete, not only you will have an additional strong monster. But Spot will have someone to compare his strength against,” Kayla said.

“Oh, yeah! That’s a good idea! Just staying in Monsters World is not enough to make me and my children grow stronger. You can also help your familiar grow stronger. And I will have someone to play with since I could never be serious when I fight my children,” Spot said.

I guess that’s true. If we can’t find a strong monster, then look for a monster that can grow stronger.

With that in mind, I started to think about the mermaid. Since they are half human, they should be able to get stronger like other half human monsters in the village.

...I feel like all the monster in the village are half-human though. Except for the dragon.

Whatever. For now, I’m hungry. So I asked Lina to cook me some dishes even though it’s not time for a meal yet.

As for Spot, the monsters he defeated were eaten by him. So I don’t think that he’s hungry at all.

After finishing my meal, I took a bath and went to sleep. Once I woke up, I will return to Monsters World.

Unfortunately, I woke up from a call from Fabio asking me to help him transporting something. I guess I won’t return back to Monsters World for a while.

“Spot, Fabio asked me for something so I won’t return to Monsters World until I’m done helping him,” I said.

“Okay. Then I’ll just stay in the sea nearby. Come when you’re done with your business,” Spot said.

Then I moved to Arturo and helped Fabio transporting some stuffs. It’s just some supply for underdeveloped area in his territory.

But when I get there, I noticed some people are suspicious. Because in their homes, I can see that they hide a familiar object. The explosive device that the cult members usually have in their mouth.

And so I delayed my journey again to kill every cult members in this place. Since they are hiding their identities, it took a while until I managed to kill them all.

There should be some problem because some people just suddenly went missing, but I transported some of Fabio’s men here to explain the situation to the citizen.

I don’t think going to Monsters World right away is a good idea after I took some effort in finding the hiding members of the cult, so I delayed my travel again.

What a pain. But at least I killed some cult members.
