The Only Aura User In Magic World

789 Earth Spirit

While we’re digging a tunnel to where the Earth Dragon King is being held, we suddenly heard a voice. It should be just us here. But we suddenly heard someone talking. And both Kayla and Angela here prepared to fight to the unknown enemy.

I also didn’t know who it was at first. But when I looked at where the Earth Dragon King is, his eye is looking at me. Just one eye because the other eye is gone.

“...Earth Dragon King?” I asked.

“You’re half right,” the voice replied.

Half-right? I can see that the Earth Dragon King is looking at our direction even though we’re underground.

Is it his magic? Even if it is, that’s not a half right. So it means that there’s something else other than the Earth Dragon King here who is talking. Someone who relays the Earth Dragon King’s message and talked to us.

But who is it? It’s not a ghost because I can see ghost. And there’s no ghost here. In fact, there’s only us here. Me, Victoria, Angela, Kayla, and Spot.

...Wait, there’s one other person here if I can call her a person. It’s Airy. The air spirit.

Her presence, even though she’s always with me, I forgot about her a lot. Not only because she rarely talk. But unless I focused only at her, it will be hard for me to watch her unless she’s letting herself be seen by others.

.....

If I have difficulty seeing her, then I would have problem as well looking at other spirits unless they shown themselves.

Which means the answer is...

“An earth spirit. An earth spirit is relaying a message from the Earth Dragon King,” I said.

“You’re right. I’m an earth spirit. I have been watching you ever since you landed in this island. And I have informed everything you did in this island to the Earth Dragon King. My only friend here. From the look of it, it seems like I’m not the first spirit that you see. We are quite hard to find so it’s rare for anyone to know who we are,” the earth spirit said.

“...Airy, show yourself,” I said.

Then on my shoulder which was supposed to be empty, a small creature appears and showing herself to the earth spirit.

“I’m an air spirit, Airy. Nice to meet you,” Airy said.

“Oh, you have a spirit traveling with you? To be able to gain the trust of a spirit, you must be really amazing. I’ve heard about what you said to the Fire Dragon King. But I guess you are more amazing than I expected,” the earth spirit said.

“Not just her. We also have a wind spirit as well. But he’s too adventurous so he’s with our most adventurous friend,” I said.

“I see. Then, I will trust you. If you have the trust of two spirits, then I can trust you. For now, don’t get any closer to the Earth Dragon King than this. If you do, some master level earth mages will notice you. Although you are being very careful, those mages have prepared some steps in case the Earth Dragon King is trying to escape or get some help. So you will be detected if you get any closer.”

If the Earth Dragon King is being heavily guarded, there must be a reason. I guess even if he’s being tamed, he’s still strong enough to even trying to escape.

There must have been at least one attempt for him to escape. But he failed. And now, he’s only waiting for his death.

“Does it mean that if we want to talk with the Earth Dragon King, we have to talk through you?” I asked.

“Yeah. I can go there without being detected. So, unless the mages are only focusing on locating my position, it will be impossible for them to find me. But those people shouldn’t know the existence of a spirit,” the earth spirit said proudly.

Good thing the earth spirit listened to our conversation with other Dragon Kings. So we don’t need to explain what we needed.

He just went back to where the Earth Dragon King is and let him say everything we needed. Including his teaching about earth.

...As expected. It’s hard for me to see the earth spirit even with Divine Vision and Mind’s Eye. I need to focus completely on him and ignore everything else. Maybe because I’m not compatible with him.

He’s an earth spirit. While Airy is an air spirit and Breezy is wind spirit.

Since I’m an air mage, I can somehow find Airy. And Breezy is just a bit harder to find. But for earth spirit, since we’re not compatible, unless I focus completely on his location, I won’t be able to find him.

We waited in the tunnel while the earth spirit is listening to the Earth Dragon King’s message. Can he remember everything the Dragon King said?

“So, we just wait here?” Angela asked.

“Yeah. For some reason, the Earth Dragon King is the only one being protected like this. We just need to be patient,” I said.

“Angela, how do you feel after listening to the other Dragon Kings’ explanation about their element?”

While waiting for the earth spirit, Kayla curiously asked Angela how she feels.

“I feel like I can get stronger with those knowledge. Well, I don’t really get it. But I just feel like that,” Angela replied.

I guess the reason Kayla is interested is because she also want to get her earth element stronger after getting some teachings from the Earth Dragon King. Via the earth spirit.

Though Angela can’t really explain it. That’s why I brought Candy, Shirley, and now, Kayla, to hear what the Dragon Kings can teach.

Soon after, the earth spirit returned and told us what the Earth Dragon King told him. And since the information he knew is about the same as what other Dragon Kings told us, the earth spirit didn’t relay that message.

“Though since I’m an earth spirit and no one have ever noticed me before, I can tell you more about this island. But from what I heard, there are few other islands nearby with two other islands as big as this one. I only know about this island, so I’m sorry,” the earth spirit apologized.

“No need to apologize. I didn’t even expect to gain so much here. But thanks to you, the others can plan about the attack here.”

On the other islands, there might be other king-type monsters who are being cloned. Either forcefully or voluntarily. So we might be able to learn more about other islands once we started investigation there.

“Though I want to ask if you know whether there are other spirits here than you. They might be able to help us,” I said.

“There used to be. But I don’t know where they are anymore. Maybe some of them already died,” he said.

“What about you? We’re thinking of killing everyone here. There might be some change with the island due to how powerful the magic is used. Would you like to come with us and help us get stronger?” Kayla asked.

Since she’s an earth mage, of course she wanted an earth spirit to join us. We already have two spirits. And getting more spirits will be great.

“I like being here. But if the island is destroyed, I have no choice but to leave. I will decide the answer depend on how destroyed this island will be after the fight,” the earth spirit said.

“Alright. But if the island is not destroyed, I hope that you’re willing to help us earth mages to get stronger. Just by being here, we can get stronger,” Kayla said.

“If you can get rid of these people, then I don’t mind helping you. Is there anything else you want to ask the Earth Dragon King?”

We have gotten what we want from the Earth Dragon King. I guess there’s no more reason for us to be here. We will need to check on other islands as well now that we have finished our business in this island.

“Just one thing. Can you deliver this object to the Earth Dragon King? It’s a clone of my familiar. Which will help me open a portal directly to the Earth Dragon King and kill him when the time comes,” I said as I gave the earth spirit a piece of Blobby.

“Delivering an object, huh? I can do it but I need to be really careful to not get caught. But I think I can do it,” the earth spirit said.

“Good. Then we will be leaving. The next time I come to this island, it should be when we commence the operation. So we will kill the Dragon Kings at that time. Tell that to the Earth Dragon King.”

In the underground tunnel connected to the sea, I opened a portal and return back to Cassau.

There are three islands with some other smaller islands here related to the cult. So we need a big force for the fight. And we can’t do it right away since we need to get ready.

I’ll come back tomorrow to check on the other island. If there’s a monster I can talk to there, that would be great.
