The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 124: Can I Cry?

Chapter 124: Can I Cry?

"Roy! I found something!"

After finished the whole audition I returned to the Library Tower with Victoria and called Sonia as well. As for Ian, he helped Albert preparing the arrest for Berthold.

They say that they are going to commence their plan tomorrow. I'm not involved in their plan and not planning to as well. They can take care of themselves. And it's also a good idea to make Albert's new allies to work.

As we continued reading, Victoria found something about what we're looking for. About the hero in a certain fairy tale.

"What is it?" Sonia and I curiously looked at what Victoria's reading.

"Here! It's another book about hero. There are many of these books we read, but this one is different. The villain in this book, is similar to the hero in the book 'Hero Against Evil'."

"Really? Are you sure?" I asked Victoria.

"Just look at the author's name! At first, I just read it like the other stories. Then after reading the name of the author, I reread it again and found that the bad guy here is similar to the hero in that book."

The author's name?

I looked at the name Victoria pointed at and see the name 'Uneaten Beef' written there.

"Uneaten Beef? That's the same author, right?"

"That's right. This beef wrote both books. Here, read it first."

Victoria offered the book in her hand to me, then she continued looking for other books.

The book t.i.tle is Hero Rama. I guess the name of the protagonist of this story is Rama.

The story is started as the young boy Rama lived happily with his family and friend in a certain village. One day however, things changed when Rama's father who is a powerful mage with strengthening magic is killed by a powerful mage.

Rama swore to avenge his father's death despite his mother's protest. His mother is afraid that Rama would end up getting the same fate as his father. But Rama still choose to leave and hone his magic.

Rama keeps getting stronger and stronger. He was blessed with several elements, and he can also use strengthening magic like his father, albeit it's far too weak than his magic. And there's one more unique magic Rama had. Which is Lie detection magic. He can tell if someone is telling a lie.

"…somehow, the plot is predictable."

"That's obvious knowing how much we know. And this story is for kids and written in a way so kids can enjoy it."

Victoria who is a professional writer before she died, explains how this story is targeted for children.

The story continued. Rama found out that the one who killed his father also killed many other powerful people until one day, no one is able to compete with that murderer. But Rama refuses to give up.

Rama trained until he can defeat a dragon with a single magic, and finally he challenged the mage who killed his father. Both of them are evenly matched.

The battle last for a while, and finally, Rama managed to seal the mage with powerful magic tool. Rama can't kill the mage, but using a magic tool, he sealed the mage who terrorized people and finally, peace come to the land.

Rama returned home and reunited with his already old mother. Then he used his power for good and build a kingdom and be the first king of his own kingdom.

"…and the kingdom name is Tatrama. The 'Rama' in 'Tatrama' come from the first king himself who is also Albert's ancestor." I said.

"That wasn't written in the book, but we can think of it that way. The strengthening magic that was written in the book can be considered as Aura. And Rama's ability which is lie detection, is now inherited by Albert." Victoria summarized the book.

"It's a good thing we read this first before we enter the bas.e.m.e.nt. If we enter the bas.e.m.e.nt and see the real history of the kingdom first before we read this, we might not come to this conclusion."

Just like I said, it's a good thing to find this book first. But it took us so long just to find one book. Good thing I just look for stories from children's books, novels, and history instead of looking at knowledge book. If I do, it will took us a longer time until we find this story.

"Now we found more clues. First is about hero. Then the author, Uneaten Beef. Just how much did he regret to not eat that beef? And lastly, Rama who we a.s.sume the first king of this kingdom which hasn't existed during the time you two were alive."

Hero, author, and first king. Those three are the clues we have at the moment. At least it's an improvement.

"Should I inform Albert?" Sonia thought of contacting Albert right now.

"No need. He's busy at the moment and we can just tell him after we finished the bas.e.m.e.nt as well. Even if we told him right now, it's not like we can do anything right away." I said.

"Roy, you forgot another clue here." Victoria reminded me about something.

"You mean the magic tool used to seal the bad guy?"

"Yeah. The story says that a magic tool is used to seal his enemy. Maybe because the seal is recently broken, this Evil G.o.d guy returned. And he started by creating a cult about him."

"You think that we're fighting the same person as the one who killed you? You might be right. But let's not forget about how Rama and this supposed to be Evil G.o.d is evenly matched, and Rama needed to use a magic tool to seal him."

If the story is true, then this guy we're fighting about is the strongest being in the whole world. And now, this guy is building an army.

This time, I truly regret the fact that I didn't choose to run away right away as soon as I returned from the future. If so, I won't have anything to do with the cult and can live leisurely while on the run looking for a safe place. Then even if this Evil G.o.d truly revived and conquer the world, I can still be alive.

But it's too late to regret. I have chosen to fight them. Well, in the end, I made a decision to let Albert take care of it. But after getting more girlfriends, I ended up having to continue helping Albert in destroying the cult. Should I be happy that none of my girlfriends are evil?

If I improve my summoning element, I could enter the Monster's World, right? Maybe once I enter that world, I can stay there forever with everyone and not caring about anything else.

Wait! If this Evil G.o.d is really someone from the past, then this guy must have known about how summoner can enter and exit Monster's World as they wished! If he is a summoner, or he has a summoner subordinate, then they can visit Monster's World whenever they want. There's really no safe place, huh? Even if we go to Monster's world, we might still be attacked.

"Victoria, Sonia, is the knowledge about summoners able to enter freely to Monster's World is common knowledge in the past?" I asked the two old ladies.

"Did you just make fun of me in your mind?" Victoria asked.

"No." Yes.

"…whatever. Yes, that knowledge is common. Instead, I was surprised to see that no one know about it anymore." Victoria said, then Sonia continued.

"Which mean even that world is not safe if this Evil G.o.d is someone from the past."

Sonia's thought are exactly what I had in mind.

"Then do you know about magic tools that can seal someone?"

"Such powerful magic tool were made in the ancient era. Even more than several thousand years ago. There are people who researched magic tools in order to build something new, or maybe rebuild something that was made in the ancient era. I know this because one of my lover was a researcher. …was it one? Or maybe two?" Sonia's last words are spoken in low volume but I can hear it. Let's ignore it.

"So if we want to defeat this Evil G.o.d, we might need to delve deeper into the past to find something that can defeat the possibly most powerful human in the world, if he's still human. This is the guy who probably calling himself a G.o.d we're fighting here."

"Being a G.o.d is surprisingly easy, you know? Not a real divine being, but just a t.i.tle. So in a way, he might really be a G.o.d." Victoria said.

"Like Mortal G.o.d? Tell me how someone can be a G.o.d."

"You just have to make people worship you. Those worshipers will think of you as their G.o.d. If you're very strong and no one can defeat you, you can just say that you won't kill anyone who worship you as their G.o.d. Then they start worshipping you and a cult was made."

Victoria's explanation make sense. Especially if the one who proclaimed as a G.o.d knows how much gullible people are.

"But a cult built by fear won't last long, right?" I asked Victoria.

"But it did. Sonia said that she heard rumors about Evil G.o.d just soon after she died and became a ghost. This is a cult that was made since around a thousand years ago. And human are creature that forgets. One thousand year is more than enough time to make people forget about their fears. Now, instead of fear, they did it out of their faith to this Evil G.o.d."

"So… the only way to destroy this cult is by killing their G.o.d. And this G.o.d of theirs is someone so powerful that needed to be sealed since he can't be killed… can I cry?"
