Chapter 584: Using the Last Card

“Is it over? I’m disappointed. I guess it’s time for you to die,” Timmy said as he gives powerful pressure incomparable to before.

Just by feeling that sheer pressure, Shelia and Graham both lost their consciousness. I can still hold on, but I have no more strength to fight. I’m out of Aura. I can’t use Super Aura anymore, which is the only thing that can break through Timmy’s defense.

“Even after spending everything, you can still endure this much pressure. At least you can still do something praiseworthy,” Timmy said as he walked closer to me.

I assumed defensive position with Victoshield placed in front of me to protect myself from Timmy. Although I’m out of Aura, I can still move and think. I need to think fast and smart. What should I do to defeat him? What can I do to survive?

Timmy then casually swung his leg at the shield, and I felt as if I got hit by a boulder. I got blown away with just a kick.

Even though I don’t have Aura anymore, I’m still confident with my physical ability. But this is too much. Not only I got blown away, my arms were broken as well trying to stop his kick.

A single kick can do this much damage? Aura Master is such a cheat.

.....

“Is that how much you want to destroy the cult!!? Stand up and fight!” Timmy shouted. It was as if he was trying to provoke me.

But that won’t work. Although I’m not smart enough to make any good strategies, I’m smart enough to not easily get provoked. I can hear him, but his provocation meant nothing. He needs to do better to provoke me.

Stand up and fight? I feel like my ankle is twisted after trying to stop his kick. But all that effort were useless. Still, I tried to stand up by forcing Victoria to turn into an armor, and force my body to move according to the armor. This is how I can still stand up.

“Roy! Are you okay?” Victoria asked me.

“How can I be okay? Even you got shrunk after just being kicked. My body is hurt all over and some bones are broken. Please think of a way for me to survive this trial,” I said.

“It’s just impossible. I never thought that there’s something beyond Aura user. Aura Master is just too strong for the current you. Timmy just want to kill you. It was never a test in the first place,” Victoria said.

A test? I thought the test was the fights against the ancient Aura users. This is not a test. This is a deathmatch with only one of us will survive.

I don’t think that Timmy is someone who want to kill me for no reason. If he is, he shouldn’t even created that testing ground in the first place.

This must really be a test. He want to test my strength. And if my strength can’t satisfy him, I’ll die.

Even when he kicked me, I still think that it was not his real strength. If he wanted to kill me, that’s when he should use all his strength.

Is he thinking that I still have a chance to win? Is he provoking me so I can get angry and get stronger?

Whatever the case, I need to think. That’s the only thing I can do right now. What should I do?

“FIGHT, ROY!!!”

Whoa, that was so loud. The loud girl has gone to Monsters World, so it’s not her. And the one who shouted just now was Kayla.

She jumped off of Spot’s back to the ground and running here. Using her earth magic, she tried to protect me from the approaching Timmy. Is she going to fight? That’s stupid!

“Don’t come over!” I shouted.

But instead of stopping, she’s still rushing here while Earth Wall has formed in front of me. And not just her. Even Angela, Candy, Spot, and the others who were watching were rushing here.

Those idiots! They won’t be able to do anything to Timmy!

As soon as they got close enough, Timmy’s pressure finally hits them and they were unable to move properly. Some even collapsed on the spot.

That’s good. Stay there and don’t move or you will die. Please don’t move and keep fainting.

“...I see. It’s not you. It’s your friends,” Timmy said as he changed direction.

Instead of walking toward me, Timmy changed direction and walked toward Kayla.

“Stop it! Don’t move! Kayla, run!” I shouted.

I tried to move my legs. It hurts so much even with the help of Victoria wrapping around my body so tightly.

As Timmy was just walking, I can catch up with him. I hugged him from behind with my legs wrapped around his body while trying to choke his neck. But Timmy doesn’t care at all as he still moves toward Kayla.

Think! I need to think fast!

Ah, that’s right. I can do that and it will stall him for a few seconds. That’s good.

While still hugging Timmy from behind, I opened a portal in front of us. It’s connected to the place furthest from here that I have installed a Blobby but it is still in this continent. Old man Henry’s place.

I can’t just transport him to Monsters World. He might destroy the village I built for the monsters while waiting for me.

Even if he can return back here quickly, it’s enough to stall for time.

I jumped off from Timmy’s back, and give him a push so he can enter the portal. I can see his surprised expression when he turned around. He never expected that I would us portal to transport him away. Though he is not the only one with surprised expression. Old man Henry was shocked as well. Though I closed the portal instantly.

“Everyone! Get back to the air! And bring me with you!” I shouted.

Kayla then used earth magic to move me and everyone else who fainted, and get us all to Spot’s back as he rises to the sky.

“Roy, do you have a plan? You transported Timmy with portal to stall for time, right?” Kayla asked. She seems very worried about me. It seems like she’s here not just to watch my fight. But also to join in in case I’m in danger.

“Stalling is the only thing I can do. With his earth magic which helps him to travel through the ground, he would be here in a few minutes. No matter how powerful he is, he can’t travel instantly like when I use portal. And during that time, I’m going to gamble. Using my last card,” I said.

This is the only thing left I can do. Only miracle can help me, and I hope I can perform miracle.

“Gamble? For you to think of gambling, I guess you are too desperate. We’re in the air so Timmy won’t be able to notice us, right?” Kayla asked.

“Right. Once he surfaced from the ground, he will get up here however way he can. By that time, I hope to gain some miracle,” I said.

How will I perform miracle? By using my last card.

I said it before that the most dangerous things in a fight are the unknowns. And I have one unknown thing left. In fact, even I don’t know what it will be. Will it be something good, or will it be something bad.

I don’t know. But this is the only thing left I can do.

“I’m going to summon my fourth familiar. I have reached expert level in my summoning, but I haven’t made a contract with any monster yet. I thought that I would be able to look for one in a relaxed manner after fighting Timmy. But it seems to be impossible. So, I have no choice but to do it right now. Making a contract with a random familiar and hopefully I can grow stronger,” I said.

“Are you sure!? If it’s bad, then you need to kill it, right? The chance of a summoner getting powerful familiar using that mean is very low,” Victoria reminded me.

“Don’t worry. I got you, didn’t I? Twice. First in my previous life, and then in this life. I don’t think my luck is all that bad. Just watch. I will make a contract with powerful monster,” I said confidently.

Even though we’re on top of Spot’s back, I prepared to cast my summoning magic. This one will be my new ally and I hope it’s something that can help me go through this trial.

Enduring the pain in my body, I activated the same magic that I used to summon Victoria for the first time. But something is different.

“Roy!”

The others are shouting my name. And I can feel that Victoria is leaving my body. She’s not here anymore even though I her as my armor.

And then, a portal the size of my body appears in front of me. I was sucked in by that portal and that’s when the others are calling my name.

This feel weird. I was supposed to be the one doing the summoning. But I’m the one got summoned instead?

...Am I being summoned to hell?
