The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 132: No Biting!

Chapter 132: No Biting!

After finishing the meal Lina cooked for me, I continued exploring the dungeon. I'm all alone now, but I still hope to be able to conquer this dungeon. Though if things get tough, I will escape as fast as I can.
My Divine Vision is still doesn't work well in this dungeon. Maybe those goblins doesn't have any vision ability. What a shame. At least I can still see the surrounding although the range is shorter than when I was outside. Still it's good enough for me to protect myself from being surrounded.
Although I should be vigilant to the monsters here, my mind is still thinking of how the girls are having fun making a barbeque party. I wish they don't finish all the eels I brought.
Maybe I will make fun of them if they get fat…
No. That's a terrible idea. Just that one time I told them that I won't get fat is enough for them to be extremely hostile to me. What if I told them they gotten fat? I'd be dead if I do that.
So far, the enemy I've encountered after going alone are too weak for me. It's even difficult for me to allow them to hit me on purpose. So when I encounter weak enemies, I just stopped doing anything and let them attack me once or twice, then I will kill them.
It was so easy and makes my training boring. But if I take it easy, I will end up getting killed if I let down my guard against strong monsters.
I think it's better for me to speed run this dungeon and leave this place. Being here alone is boring. Should I just call Victoria?
I guess not. Although Victoria seems to be having fun, she's still diligently hunting monsters. I hope so…
Maybe I'll try to befriend a monster here. It's a common sense that only those with taming element can communicate with monsters. But for other elements, they are unable to communicate with monsters. Even for us summoners, we can only communicate slightly with our contracted monsters, but not to any wild monsters. But if the monsters I tried to talk to is at least as smart as Sunny, then we might be able to communicate.
If there's a wild monster I can talk to, I hope it's a cat type. I love cat! I want to have a pet cat since a long time ago. I like a small cat. They are cute. But a big cat is fine as well. Since there are more place to rub them. But it's impossible to let them inside the city.
As I was thinking of having a pet, I saw a giant lizard ahead. Can that thing communicate? Let's try it.
I approached the lizard calmly and when the lizard finally noticed me, I reach out my hand to it.
"Hello, lizard. Don't bite me, I come in peace. Pleased to meet you. Wanna be my friend?"
As I reach out my hand to the lizard, it tried to bite me even though I said no biting.
"I SAID NO BITING!"
With my hand still in the mouth of the lizard, I reached out my other hand and grabbed its mouth. Then with my full strength, I pulled the upper jaw and the lower jaw apart. It bleed profusely and die soon after.
"Lizard is no good! I'd better find another monster."
I left the place and continued deeper into the dungeon. There I found another lizard. But this one is covered with fire.
"Fire lizard?"
I approached this lizard and tried to get along with it.
"Hello. I come in peace—I SAID I COME IN PEACE SO NO BITING!"
This one is a fail as well. I ripped its jaw like the one before, but this time, I felt stinging pain on my hand.
"Ouch! Hmm… so Aura doesn't protect you from fire. Truly, Aura is only useful in physical fight."
I learned something new again today. It should have been something I learned at first, but because the way I fight is by using hit and run tactic, and I keep dodging the enemy's magic, I never realize it until today.
Or is it because my Aura is still too weak? I'll try asking Sonia.
Soon, Sonia appear in front of me.
"What's up calling me again so soon?"
"What? The party still not over?"
"It's already midnight so other than the one keeping watch, everyone else is asleep."
"So it's already late? I don't realize at all."
When I was sending the eels to Victoria, it was still bright. But now, everyone has fallen asleep? Did I have too much fun on my own without me realizing it?
"Anyway, why are you calling me this late? I want to go back to sleep." Sonia said.
"Does a ghost even need a sleep? I want to ask you about Aura. Does Aura protect you from magic?"
"Are you stupid? If Aura can protect you from magic attack, Neither Victoria nor I will get killed."
Oh, right. I forgot.
"Oh! But there's a legend told by our master. About the peak strength of Aura."
"What is it?"
A legend about Aura? It might just be a story to make children interested in learning Aura. But it's still worth listening considering the Evil God is also written in children's stories.
"Well, there's a legend of a Very strong Aura user. He is weak in magic, but extremely talented in Aura. Because of that, he became obsessed with become the strongest. Even stronger than Master level mages. Some say that his Aura sword can cut through magic."
"Aura sword, huh?"
"Yeah. It's just Aura concentrated on your hand, materialized and shaped into a sword."
"I know that. But it means if I can reach that height, I don't need to look for ancient magic tool to kill this Evil God."
"…you think you can reach that height?"
"No. I think that's too far for me. Creating Aura sword might be doable for me in the future, but to improve even further seems unlikely. Well, I'll just keep training then. Who knows if I can be that strong?"
I want to have the strength of Aura that can slash magic, but that seems impossible. If Sonia's master, a real Aura user can't reach it, what about me whose teachers are a ghost and a slime?
"Alright, thanks for telling me this."
"Yeah. Are we done?"
"Well, since you don't need to sleep, how about you accompany me exploring this dungeon?"
"…enjoy your loneliness." Sonia said as she started to disappear.
"Wait! No!"
How cruel! After being a ghost for a thousand years, she should have known the feeling of loneliness. How come she become so cruel to me? Did I do something wrong to her? Other than the fact that I threatened to exorcise her? Oh, wait. That's the reason why.
And so I continued exploring the dungeon alone.
I tried to greet all the monsters I encounter, but all of them want me dead so I just killed them all. Making me realize how rare monster with intellect is.
But I found three of them. And they are all with me. First is Victoria and Blobby. Well, Blobby doesn't actually has any intellect. She's just following my order and transform into anything I want. But Victoria's consciousness is with Blobby so that makes one.
Next is Sunny. A plant type monsters who's contracted to Lina the maid. Although she started weak, and was only useful to wrap her vines to someone, she's getting stronger now.
Lastly is Sonia. But that's if I count ghost as monster. She's Victoria's fellow disciple. Someone who's able to use Aura in the past before she died.
I think it would be great if the next monster I contracted with is an intellectual ones. I'll try contracting it the way summoners of the past did. By entering the portal to Monster's World and find a powerful monster to be contracted.
But I need to be stronger so I can freely explore the Monster's World. That's why I need training.
"Oh, well. Let's finish this dungeon fast and leave this place as soon as possible."
This time, I ran fast through the dungeon without caring about the monsters here. But if I find any strong monster, I'll stop and try fighting them.
I keep running all the way until my vision see a treasure chest at the end of the way. It's located in a big room probably at the end of the dungeon.
But there's a monsters guarding that treasure chest. It's a huge lizard, even bigger than any lizard here.
Is that thing a dragon? I don't see any wings so it might just be a gigantic lizard. And there's an even bigger flame surrounding its body than the previous fire lizard I encounter. I can feel the heat even though I haven't entered that room.
Let's try approaching that lizard.
"Greetings, huge lizard! I come in peace—oh my god! You breathe fire!"
This time, no biting accident happened. But fire breathing accident did happen. This only mean one thing. Kill or run away!
