The Only Aura User In Magic World-Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Need To Survive For A Week

After deciding to help Ellen’s party, Kayla told Jewel to go home. It was already dark after all and... it’s also for the health of their eardrums.

“Kayla, you said to help them, but how should we do it?” Angela asked

“I didn’t say I can help them out of the dungeon. I said that I can help them survive until help come. We are still just a bunch of beginner level mage. Even more, our leader is away at the moment. Who knows when he will come back? The capital is a long way from here. Even if he goes all out, it’s not a distance he can take in just a day.”

“I believe he can. But he’s not someone who want to spend all his power just to get to his destination,” said Victoria.

Then she continues, “Roy told me that he will make a portal so I can go there instead of just summoning me. He also said that he will make a portal daily to let him know if there’s some news. Although it would be just for a few seconds. And I don’t think he’s the kind that willing to help someone who want to go on dangerous situation on their own. He already know that Ellen’s party doesn’t want to be taught magic control by Kayla. I think he hated those kind of people with too much pride.”

“It’s not that he hated them. He just doesn’t care about them if they are strangers to him. But Ellen is someone he knows so he might help. But there’s no need to ask him to return. We just need to help Ellen’s party to survive until someone rescue them. If they haven’t been rescued until Roy returned, then we will ask Roy to help them. After you get summoned by Roy, I want you to try persuading him to help Ellen after he returns,” said Kayla to Victoria.

“Okay. Since Roy isn’t here, you’re the boss. After all you’re the one who learned the most from him.”

.....

“Thanks. I have a plan to let them survive for much longer, but the one who’ll do the work will be you, Victoria.”

“...you’re such a slave driver. Just like Roy who told me to hunt more and more monsters.”

“Actually, wasn’t that your own fault? It was you who started fighting on your own so Roy just leave you be.”

“Shut up, Angela! So? What should I do?” Victoria asked Kayla.

“Dig up a hole where they are being caved in.”

“Doesn’t that mean I will rescue them on my own?”

“It will be great if you can do that. But the chance it happening is small. We don’t know their situation at the moment. I just need you to open a hole at least enough for you to enter. Then you will go in and out to give them supply enough until help come or Roy returned. I think he can save them right away if he wants to.”

“You have a lot of faith in him, huh? As expected of the first wife.”

“Are you fine with me being the first wife?”

“I don’t mind. In the end, it will be me who will stuck with him the longest since I’m his summon.”

“I don’t mind either. I just want to be with him,” said Sophie.

Then as the atmosphere changed with the topic turned into Roy’s wives, the ghost, Sonia approached Angela and asked something.

“How did a guy like that be so popular? He even married three girls.”

“Actually he isn’t married with anyone yet- AAAAAH!! A ghost!”

Angela who just realized that Sonia was next to her, run away to her room.

Meanwhile, there are two girls who don’t really care about the accident that happened to Gladius.

“Lina, you’re cooking is great as usual.”

After knowing how much Lina loves to be praised, Sam would always give her compliment in every possible moment.

“Thank you, Sam.”

Since she’s no longer Sam’s maid, she started to call her name. Now they look like friends or sisters.

“You’re not taking part on the conversation? I thought you love him as well?”

“I’m his maid. It will be great if that happened?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m just too shy. And this distance we have right now is good enough for me. Maybe one day I’ll tell him myself.”

“What if he’s the one who confessed first?”

“Then I’ll happily accept it.”

The girls then finished their meals. And Victoria left right away to the dungeon. It was already night so the gates are already closed. And all the shops are closed so they can’t buy foods for Ellen’s party. They can only bring them in the morning, so they returned to their own rooms and start cultivating.

Victoria who has just arrived at the dungeon, see a portal appeared in front of her. It was Roy’s summoning magic. Victoria can see Roy is preparing the tent.

Knowing Roy’s limit, Victoria spoke before Roy could ask her anything.

“Ellen’s party got caved in! I’m trying to help! I only got two hours left at most so goodbye!”

After hearing the situation, Roy stopped his magic. He can only summon the portal for a few seconds so it was really helpful that Victoria knows about it.

Roy doesn’t really care about Ellen’s party, but he tried to guess what Victoria and the others tried to do. He can guess correctly that the girls are most likely will try to ask for Roy’s help if they can’t rescue Ellen and her party.

After the connection was cut off, Victoria looked for Ellen.

She doesn’t need to enter it through the entrance since the area that got caved in affected the surface. She just entered through that sunken ground.

She dig up the rubbles and enter through a small opening. She also carried something with her. Small enough to enter the hole she entered.

She saw the corpse of Cyclopes, Orcs, and other monsters. They are the monsters that inhabiting the dungeon.

She also passed through several treasure chests. But she ignored them because her time is limited. She only has one more hour before she can come out again tomorrow.

Digging deeper, Victoria can’t find Ellen. Then realizing that the dungeon goes up after taking the main path down, Ellen’s party shouldn’t be too deep at the bottom. She continued to search not too deep.

Ellen soon heard the sound coming from the outside.

“Help! We’re here!”

“Ellen! Is that you?!”

“This voice, Victoria? It’s you?”

“Yes. It’s difficult for normal human to get here so I came. How’s the situation?”

“We’re okay! One of my party members is using her ice magic to build a block of ice to block the rubbles from falling! It won’t hold much longer! Please rescue us!”

“That’s impossible. But I can help you survive until rescue come. Wait for a while and I’ll open a hole connected to the outside. Then we will bring you food and water enough to let you survive until help come.”

After she answered Ellen, she finally made a way to Ellen.

“Oh, hey! I found you!”

“A talking slime?!” One of the party member shocked to realize that the one Ellen talking to is a slime.

“Even if you said you can help us survive, there’s no point if we got buried under the rubbles. The Ice blocks are started to melt. Once they were all melted, we will be buried and there’s no hope for us left.”

There’s also the fact that the dungeon can’t be affected by earth magic. The ground and the wall in the dungeon was made by unknown material. They can be destroyed but earth magic is useless against these materials.

“Ice magic will melt with time. But if you use earth magic as support, it will last longer.” Victoria said calmly.

“But earth magic doesn’t work in the dungeon!”

“That’s why I brought some dirt from the outside. Earth element mages will do their jobs here. I’ll go outside and bring you more.”

“Okay, thanks! As for water, I’m also a water element mage. We’ll be fine.”

“But you should still preserve your magic. Who knows when the rescue will come? And thanks to the dungeon being caved in, there are no more hunters interested in this place. They might come but only to dig up the treasures that got buried. If they tried to rescue you sloppily, you might end up being buried more and more with no hope in escaping.”

“So there’s no hope, huh? I guess we’ll all die here.”

“Not exactly. If you survive, I know Roy can help. But he’s away and the earliest he will return is in a week. You just need to survive for about a week.”

“Can this Roy really save us? Then why isn’t he coming right now?” someone asked Victoria.

“He’s not someone who cares about strangers. Although he knows Ellen, they are not close enough to be friends. Even more, you refused Kayla’s offer to teach you magic control. I believe he doesn’t think well of your party.”

“What does magic control means? We’re already advanced level mage!”

“It means to use the minimum mana to cast magic at maximum power. You wasted too much mana if you don’t have magic control. You can also manipulate the shape of your magic. There are a lot of functions, but the one who knows about it the most should be Roy. Well, I don’t have much time so I’ll leave for now and return with some fruits. After that, I’ll see you tomorrow I guess?”

Victoria then left and returned again carrying dirt and fruits. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

The next day, she brought some water and food as she said. She brought a lot in case Roy will summon her soon and they won’t have enough supply to last long until rescue come.

Then the day after that, she didn’t come.
