The Only Aura User In Magic World

781 Suspicious Little Green Bird

“Congrats, everyone. This city has been purged. No casualties this time with only some people got minor injuries. You did well, Sunglasses.”

The battle is over. And I congratulated everyone. With Sunglasses take the credit for leading everyone to victory.

“...It’s also thanks to everyone here. If we had just half the strength of what we have right now, or even slightly lower than half, Panthero might not be as it is today. And we could still be a kingdom without having to be controlled by Varadis,” Sunglasses said.

What is Panthero again? Oh, right. Rudy’s previous kingdom. And he’s the brother of the king, right? And that king now is a noble under Varadis Kingdom who is in charge of Panthero’s territory right now.

I heard that the country was so close to its destruction thanks to the cult. But while I was in Monsters World, infiltrating the cult’s base there, Varadis helped that kingdom and stopped the cult from taking it over. Though in the end, Varadis gained enough trust from Panthero and now Varadis is the one taking it over.

I guess Sunglasses still has a lot of regret. If Panthero had half the strength of what we have right now, his country could survive.

Though I don’t think there’s much change with his country right now. And I think it’s better now that it’s taken by Varadis.

Varadis is a rich kingdom with abundant amount of resources. And they have more than enough to feed an entire population of a small kingdom. At least that’s what I’ve heard.

So, if Panthero insist on being independent, they might need to wait for a while until they can get back their food resources after the famine. And it will kill many of its citizens. That’s why I think it’s good that they are part of Varadis now.

.....

“Well, but it’s thanks to you now that we didn’t get as many casualties as usual. You did a good job. Anyway, I was thinking of asking you something. If you have a chance to regain your vision, will you do it?” I asked.

“My sight, is it? Hmm... I honestly don’t know the answer. I feel like my senses are better than they were when I could see. And after Elsie shared her vision with me, I feel like I can do more and give more precise order. Is there any way for me to continue getting along with Elsie?” Sunglasses asked.

“Even if you ask me, Elsie is still Lina’s familiar. If only you’re a summoner or a tamer, I can get one for you easily. Well, just ask Lina whenever you need Elsie. And don’t ask her for anything else. She’s still my girlfriend,” I said.

If it’s Kayla or the others, I won’t get jealous since they can take care of themselves and would kick his nut. But I don’t know about Lina. I have never seen her kicked someone’s nuts.

Though Sunny is with her so she should be fine. Sunny can protect her.

But that means we won’t have many chances to bring Sunny when we need Sunglasses. But I think that’s fine after seeing how well we fought today.

“Roy, what’s that in your hands?”

After talking with Sunglasses, Kayla asked me. everyone else also curious about it. Except for the monsters who just do their own things.

“This is a cute little bird that can use wind magic. Its speed is almost as fast as Ray’s speed. It’s an amazing little green bird. Though I don’t know what kind of monster this is. Maybe Little Green Bird is what its called,” I said.

All this time, I have been holding onto the bird I just caught with both my hands. The size is just perfect for me to hold in my hand. So I hold it while use my other hand to rub its head. Of which this bird surprisingly didn’t resist at all.

“Look like a very tame bird. Must be because its summoner has died,” Candy said.

Meanwhile, Jewel and Angela are taking turns rubbing the head of the bird. They even asked me to release the bird to see how fast it is.

“Please release the bird! I want to see how fast it is!” Angela said.

“Master! Do it, please!” Jewel also asked me.

Should I release the bird? I don’t think so.

“Well, here’s the thing. This bird is not actually the familiar of the summoner I killed. And I don’t know if it can talk or not, but I’m sure that it can understand my words because after I said that, this bird is trying to resist. Here comes Wind Slashes,” I said.

Right after I said that, Wind Slashes attacking us. And the source is this thing in my hand. The bird just tried to kill us. But I used Aura to protect my hand, while the others are quick enough to protect themselves.

“That bird is someone else’s familiar! And its master is not here!” Kayla said.

“Whoa, what? You just said that you wanted the bird because it was interesting. Did I miss anything?” Victoria asked.

Well, I also didn’t exactly tell her everything. But this bird is interesting. The source of this ᴄontent is (f)ir(e).nᴇt

“Well, when that portal was opened, it was to a monster over there. But not this bird. There’s another monster over there which should be the summoner’s target location. But instead of that monster, this bird came in instead. And when I killed the summoner, this bird acted weirdly. As if it’s forced to act that way when seeing the summoner was killed. Not its master,” I said.

That was what happened back then. This bird is not a familiar of that summoner.

Also, when the summoner opened the portal, I feel that someone else was there. I can feel from the movement of the air. Someone was hiding from the portal so I can’t see who that is directly.

“Airy, did you feel the change in the air from that portal?” I asked.

“Yes. It was weird, but I can feel that someone other than the summoner and the monster was breathing. Though it’s far, but I know since after we got close to that portal, the monster inside the portal and the bird breathe differently. Then there’s another person who might be a human,” Airy said.

“And right now, this bird should be communicating with its master via telepathy. If that person is a tamer, the master can only send order to the bird. And if that person is a summoner, then a portal might be opened. At least if we can confirm that this bird can’t talk, we know that this bird will only send its emotion via telepathy. And the master will only know about the bird’s emotion but not what is truly happening here,” I said as I tightening my grip on the bird.

“So, this bird is a spy?” Candy asked.

“Take one to recognize one. That’s the most likely answer. Checking from the bird’s emotion, the master will try to deduct what happening here. And that’s why I captured the bird so I can bring it to the Magicless Area where telepathy will not work. Then the most difficult part started there,” I said.

And it will probably be the most difficult thing I will ever do. Because this bird is simply amazing.

A bird that doesn’t seem to be able to talk, can act. This one acted like its master died. And it acted like being tamed after I caught it. Even if it’s because of someone’s order, it is still amazing.

And that will make it more difficult for me. And I think that facing hundreds of master level mages alone might be better than this.

“Does anyone know how to interrogate a bird?” I asked.

If it’s a summoner, it will be fine as long as I set it free. The master will just open a portal to this bird’s location. And I will attack by surprise.

But it won’t be easy. The bird is fast. And if the summoner is good, the summoner can open and close a portal really quickly.

The bird is also smart. To make the summoner realize that the bird is in a safe place, I need to be far from where it can sense my with its wind magic. And it’s fast enough to cause trouble even to Ray.

“Can we blackmail it or something? That bird should understand human’s language, right?” Jewel suggested.

Blackmailing a bird, huh? How will I do that?

I raised the bird in my hand to right in front of my face, then with a bit of killing intent, I tried blackmailing it.

“Fried, boiled, or grilled?”

...The bird fainted.

“I think that worked way too well that the bird fainted. Anyway, good job. I’ll return you all home except those who are interested in interrogating a bird and those who will investigate this place. As for the weretigers, I’ll bring you all to Monsters Village along with other monsters. Whether you want to join us or not is up to you.”

Another city is destroyed. I wonder how many more cities that we will destroy?
