The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 341: Incoming Attack

Chapter 341: Incoming Attack

"Roy, you have to go and meet King Harold right away. And bring Albert with you. I will tell him to get prepared so you can bring him here before going to Bernard's mansion."
That's what Sonia suddenly told me just before I took a nap.
She suddenly appears in front of me, and told me something important is happening and I have to go bring Albert with me.
And as soon as she finished relaying the message, she disappeared into Albert's location.
Is my break finally over? I don't want that!
The tournament will happen next week. I don't want to get busy even before it's started!
Such is the fate of being relied upon. I'm just too awesome, I guess.
I suppose I need to inform the others that I'm leaving.
I get down and meet Lina who is sweeping the floor.
"Lina, I'm going for a bit. Seems like something happened in Arturo." I said.
"Will you return for dinner?" Lina asked.
"Hopefully I will."
It's quite empty in the base now. Kayla and Jewel leave two weeks ago.
As for me, I still teach my class as usual. Though Sara wasn't there. So, I only taught the other three students. But yesterday was my last class because I was supposed to go to Melk as well. I just told them to study by themselves after teaching them how to cultivate air element. Though it's the same as other elements. I just taught them how to make air element magic stones out of magic stones for other elements.
Soon after informing Lina, Sonia appears and told me that Albert is ready.
"Good. I'll bring him here. As for you, go and tell Spot that I'm leaving. Ask him if he wants to go." I said.
Today, Spot is at the sea with his child. I forgot which number is this child is.
He would sometime come here to play, but since we didn't do any big job lately, he stays in the sea more.
I opened a portal and let Albert come here, as I see Spot flying here quickly while looking excited at what we're going to do.
"Roy, where are we going?" Spot asked.
"To Arturo Kingdom. We're going to meet Fabio and the others." I said.
In the past few weeks, I have been regularly visiting them. It was mainly for Harold's recovery. And I have gotten close enough with them to not have to speak with honorifics to them. I'm the only commoner in this continent who doesn't have to speak to all kings without honorifics. I'm amazing!
But before I opened a portal, a little and lovely girl approached us.
"Father!"
It was Lana. Somehow, she noticed that her father is here. She was supposed to be in her room.
"Lana, have you been well?" Albert asked.
"Yes! Are you working?" Lana asked Albert.
"Sorry. I'll play with you some other time."
"Promise?" Lana said as she offered to have a pinky promise.
I'd like to see Albert's reaction.
"I promise." Albert said as he wrapped his pinky to Lana's.
"Pinky promise! If you break the promise, all hell break loose!" Lana said the same thing when she made me do pinky promise.
And Albert… he has an indescribable expression on his face. Shock, anger, fear, I can see them. And he looked at me as if I'm the one to blame.
"Don't look at me like that. Someone taught her those words while I was busy travelling saving Harold." I said.
"Then who!?"
"Doesn't matter. Let's go now."
I opened a portal and said my farewell to Lana. Though I hope I can return quickly.
In Bernard's mansion, right in front of us, there's another woman I don't know. It must be her fault that I'm here.
"Thank you for coming, Roy. Sorry to asked you to be a courier, but we need Albert here." Fabio said to me.
"So, I'm not needed here? Can I return?" I asked.
"No! I can't go home if you return now! You want to save your magic, right? Don't use portal unnecessarily!" Albert shouted.
Sigh… I guess it's unavoidable.
"Who is he?" The unknown woman asked.
"An important ally. As for the other one, you should know him, right?" Fabio asked.
"Yes. He's King Albert from Tatrama. How did he come here?"
"That's not important at the moment. Albert, you know her, right?" Fabio asked Albert.
"Yes. She's your sister, Jill. Has she fallen to the cult?" Albert asked.
"That's what we want to know. Please help us."
"Sure."
How come he agrees to help them but refused me when I asked him to see my students? Just because they are commoners, you can't just ignore them!
Well, it's not like those three students are important. I'll get them strong enough to be recognized by Albert.
And interview session happened. We have one person to interview, and everyone here is focused on her. I'd like to play with Luna instead, but we are not that close. I think she's being wary of me. Just what did she saw in her vision that makes her afraid of me? Other than killing my enemies in case I found them.
So, the new princess I met today is called Jill. She's going after the throne, and thought of getting Bernard's support. She's coming here only with her trusted assistant, who ended up cannot be trusted at all as Luna noticed that he's dangerous. He killed himself by using the explosion inside his head. I can see the corpse in different room.
"I thought I had a reliable ally to make me the queen. But I was being used as a puppet. I guess I'm not fit to be the queen." Jill said.
"What else did he told you to do?" Harold asked.
"Other than ruling my territory, he asked me to prepare some liquors for my meeting with Bernard. Wait!" Jill suddenly shouted as if she realized something.
"Hmm… there's a bottle of drink with the corpse of your assistant. And there's a sign that it was recently opened, and closed again. Seems like there's poison in it." I said.
"How did you know? Wait, poison? He asked me to drink it together with Bernard!" Jill shouted.
"I guess it's clear then. He's going to kill you and Bernard at the same time. And he can just spread the rumor that both you and Bernard kill each other for fighting the throne. Or maybe they have prepared a replacement for you two. Is he the only one coming with you?" Harold asked.
"Oh no! He said that there will be some people coming later! What should I do?" Jill panicked.
Meanwhile, everyone looked at Albert to hear his decision.
"She's not with the cult. That's the truth. And everything she said is the truth as well. She's just being used and probably going to get killed. Now, what should we do?" Albert asked.
"They are planning to kill Bernard and Jill together, huh? And the ones coming soon should be here to check if Bernard and Jill are both still alive or not. They are going to ask the man who blew his own head about the situation. Since he died, I suspect that those people will come here to finish the job." Harold said.
Sigh… this is annoying. I don't want to stay here to be targeted all of a sudden. I guess I need to prepare to open a portal right away.
"Bernard. Let's go get your wife to safety first. Seems like something will happen soon." I said to Bernard.
"Oh, right! Let's go!" Bernard said.
I will leave the discussion to those here. But why is Luna wanted to stay when Bernard asked her to get his wife together? She's acting like a princess. A real princess who worries about the kingdom. She's too young to do that. This world is too cruel to let a child mature too fast.
We went to Bernard's room where his wife is resting, and told her that I will get her to safety. I told Lina to prepare a room after opened a portal and brought Bernard's wife there. She will be safe with Lina and the others there.
After that, Bernard and I returned to where the other is. They are still discussing about the next plan while Jill is cowered in fear.
"Damn, you all! You take too long to think! How about making it simpler! Let's make them think that Bernard is a strong candidate for the throne and he has expert level mages with him! So, when those people attacked, it's completely normal that we can fight back. And just make a story that Bernard would dare to imprison his own sister for trying to poison him. That's easy, right?" I suggested since they haven't made a decision yet.
""…that's it!"" Harold, Albert, and Fabio shouted at the same time.
"That way, it won't be shocking if Bernard gained power! We can have our own army!" Fabio said.
"Imprisoning Jill might make him feared by the people. But that will also show everyone what he will do to those who targeted his life." Albert said.
"And that seems to be fit with his previous personality. In fact, I'm still wondering how Bernard doesn't have an army yet. Just guards. Bernard, with my guide, I will make you a strong candidate for the battle which you can't win since Fabio is the crown prince!" Harold claimed.
"…what about my opinions?" Bernard asked.
"Rejected!" Harold said firmly.
I guess it's decided. And I also need to stay here for a bit longer and see those incoming group. I hope it won't be too many.
"AAAAAH!"
Suddenly, Luna screamed as she crouched down and hold her head with her hands.
"Luna, what's wrong?" Fabio asked.
"Idiot. That's the signal for the incoming danger within one minute. We need to get ready."
Less than one minute of the attack. I need to get as much information as I can from Luna.
"Luna. Don't be scared. Tell me what will happen." I asked.
"The mansion got destroyed out of nowhere!" Luna said.
"That mean they don't even care if Jill's assistant is still alive or not. They are just here to kill everyone. Luna, I ask you again to not be scared. Do you actually see that any one of us died?" I tried to calm Luna down.
"…no. I don't see anyone dying."
"That's because I'm amazing. Now, let's get you all to safety first. I'll stay here and kill everyone. Though I need Bernard to stay here. Just in case someone escaped, we need them to witness Bernard is here and still alive. And also, Fabio and Carmen. You two will fight if it's necessary." I said.
It's been a while, but I guess it's time to fight cult members again. What a pain they are…
