791 Huge Monster Near the Castle Island

Today, I’m going to investigate the last island. The island with a castle where the bird’s master is located.

But before I go, Albert and the other kings contacted me and told me to have a meeting all of a sudden.

“So, how was it?” Albert asked.

“Among the three islands, I haven’t fully investigated the island with the castle. One of the two that I have investigated has more monsters than humans. And a lot of them were the result of cloning technology that the cult created. Apparently, even if we captured the Professor, the one who might be the smartest in the cult, there are other smart people there. And Albert, have you asked the Professor if he has other inventions and technologies that could be disadvantageous for us?” I asked Albert.

“Even if I ask, it doesn’t seem like he will answer anything. But I will try to get what we needed from him,” Albert said.

Yeah, that’s the only thing we can do. The Professor is somehow still being kept alive by Albert for interrogation purpose.

“Hey, about the cloning technology. Is it possible for the cult to clone a human being? Including their intellect and their thinking capabilities?”

Fabio asked something scary. For a cloning technology to clone a human being. Will that count as a human or a monster?

Maybe if they put a monster’s flesh or organs, it can be considered as monster. That means they can be tamed.

.....

Taming a human being. The thought alone is scary. It’s scarier than enslaving them.

Well, both are scary.

“Wait! Do you mean that it’s possible that the Professor has clones? Or maybe the Professor that we caught is a clone and the real one is somewhere else?” Kayla asked.

...Damn, that’s scary. If there are too many Professor, that would be the worst.

With their knowledge and skill to not only make clones but also to artificially create master level mages, the cult is already way too powerful.

“I don’t think they are ready to clone humans yet. Master level mages are too precious. And cloning humans must have some risks as well. While cloning weaker mages will not really improve their overall strength. And if cloning and artificially made them into master level mages is possible, they should have used them to attack Consenza during the tournament. But they didn’t. I guess their technology is not that advanced yet,” Albert said.

“I guess total destruction is needed in those three islands. So that they will stop creating clones,” I said.

On the two other islands I have investigated, I didn’t see any strange technology that they use for cloning. Which means that it’s in the castle island which I haven’t fully investigated yet.

I think it will be a while until we can find everything and destroy them.

Not only so that the cult can’t create clones anymore. But also for us. Even if we have the same mind to destroy the cult, that doesn’t mean that we’re all good guys.

For example, there’s me. I just thought that if I can create a clone of myself, even if it’s just one, then our strength will be doubled. Having two Aura Masters would be great.

I’m really tempted to do it. But if my clone went rouge, I’m the only one who can stop him.

Aura Master facing another Aura Master. Even if I win in the end, I won’t win unscathed. And it will only end after sacrificing many people.

And some among this group must have thought the same. That’s why none of them rejected this idea.

“So, Roy will find the lab and destroy everything while the others are in battle. Let’s go back so Roy can continue his investigation. As for the agent who will investigate that island with weaker mages, I will send this man. Roy will bring him to that island and he will investigate by himself while pretending to be loyal believer,” old man Henry said as he introduced the agent.

Old man Henry said that he has been taught about the cult from the former cult members who joined us. And it’s not just him. Other agents also learned it in case they needed to infiltrate the cult.

After I brought everyone home, I brought the agent to the second island. I will leave him on the route from the city to a village. He will then fly on his own to the village and ask them if he can stay and work there.

The agent look old enough to have grandchildren. And it’s common for people at that age to retire to the countryside. So I hope the disguise won’t be discovered soon.

After he left, I open a portal to the castle island. From here, I will investigate this place for a while.

During the meeting, the kings also suggested that each island will have a few old agents to infiltrate. For the island with more monsters, someone is being carefuly selected. And this island is being investigated by me. So maybe it will be tomorrow that the agents can do their mission.

“Then, our main objective is to find the lab,” I said.

“What about checking the castle?” Victoria asked.

“That will be too dangerous. Spot, let’s go!”

The castle has a prison with a lot of prisoners at the moment. I don’t know how they got captured, but it’s too dangerous to just go there mindlessly.

And since it’s a castle, most of the people there would be master level mages.

But what about the lab? A laboratory is obviously a place where either smart people or experiment to gather. So it’s less likely to have master level mages. And I should be able to infiltrate that place. Especially since everyone here is related to the cult. So they would feel that it’s safe and there’s no need for guards.

The three islands don’t seem to have any enemies. Not people and not monsters. So unless they are on a mission outside, the people here won’t have much experience. And it’s more likely for them to let down their guards even with so many people guarding these islands.

Though I think the high security was because we have been destroying the cult’s plan so many times. And they are just afraid that we will get here. So the cult just increased the security here.

Everything look normal. And since I can’t see any opening yet to enter the city, I’ll go check on other places first.

There are monsters in this island. But even if they are strong, I can’t communicate with them. So I can’t learn anything from them. And meeting them will only alert their masters.

Unlike the Dragon Kings who can keep their calm even though they are tamed, these monsters don’t seem to be as smart as those Dragon Kings. They can’t keep calm if I got too close.

But at least I need to see the leader. So that once the battle started, I can go directly to them and kill them to make their clones go wild.

I see a village and checked it from above. The people there are mostly old people. So I don’t think that they are master level mages. Because master level mages, even if they look old on the outside, the inside is healthy unless they have been alive for over a few centuries.

Even among the ten master level mages, the oldest was a bit less than three centuries old. He was still healthy, but his organs are not as good as they used to be. It looked just like he is a fifty years old man on the inside.

But the villagers here are old for real and not master level mages. So I think we an put an agent in this village.

After checking that village, I flew to the other villages. Most of the villagers in those villages are old people. There’s rarely a young people there. So I think it’s safe for the agents to infiltrate those villages.

But so far, I didn’t see any lab. So it’s most likely somewhere in the city near the castle.

And as I was flying on Spot’s back, I suddenly see something huge coming out of the ocean. Something like a serpent but it was bigger than Spot’s original size.

“Let’s fly higher. That thing might be able to sense us if we got any closer,” I said to Spot.

That monster is possibly the one responsible in the destruction of the old kingdom here. Something that look like a serpent, but it’s not.

“Spot, do you know what that thing is?” I asked.

“No. It’s not a sea serpent. And whatever that thing is, it’s stronger than me,” Spot said.

Well, that sucks. So the monster that destroyed the kingdom is still alive. Can that thing destroy this island again?

Someone from the castle was flying to the monster. And the two talked for a bit before the monster returned back to the sea. Then that man also returned back to the castle.

“...Anyone knows what they’re talking about?” I asked.

“...My guess is that the man is an old master level mage. Maybe a tamer. And he tamed that monster and used it to destroy the old kingdom. Well, we won’t know anything unless we investigate it,” Victoria said.

“Okay. Let’s infiltrate the city next. That monster is too scary. I think that thing could be at the same level as Andro,” I said.

Even Spot and his family won’t be able to defeat that thing. We need a strategy to make that thing go far away from the islands.
