“Yes. I see them not moving at all inside the cage. I don’t know much about tamer, but maybe they have similar power as summoners that will force their contracted monsters to do anything they say. But if that’s true, there’s no need for the cult to put those monsters in a cage. Maybe there’s another reason they were put inside a cage,” I said.

Monsters in a cage. And they are being controlled by the cult members. The most likely thing that happen is another experiment.

I have known about it for a long time. The cult is playing with monsters’ lives. They would control the monsters, and modify them to be stronger. just like the monster that killed me in the past, and the Orc Emperor I fought back near Melk. Though I don’t know about the monster that killed me. I was too weak at the time. Maybe that was just how strong that monster is normally.

“They are monsters, right? So, you’re fine with killing them?” Shelia asked.

“Hmm... maybe. For now, let’s kill those people who seem to be tamers first. If they are truly tamers, the monsters should no longer be connected with a contract anymore and will run wild. We’ll see about it,” I said.

“Hmm? Now that you mentioned it, I can smell the scent of various monsters. There’s even the slight scent of a werewolf. And I might be wrong, but there’s a monster that has a similar scent to Graham. Can you see them?”

.....

What? A werewolf and an angel?

Well, I only saw the caged monsters before without seeing what type of monsters they are. But now that I looked again carefully, I can see that there are several humanoid monsters there.

“...We’ll go after the tamers first. As for the monsters, we’ll take care of them later. They are still being caged, so I don’t think we need to be worried,” I said.

There are only five people moving on their own toward the cave. None of them are artificial master level mage. But they might be expert level mages in elements other than taming. With the two of us here, it should be easy.

We have been scouting for a while since we left everything to the army. I also left a lot of collars for them to put on the surviving enemies so they will be our prisoners. Or as the vampires’ meal. Are they doing okay?

Just as we were about to chase after those five people, Sonia came to report what happened.

“It’s done. No one escapes. Many of the enemies are still alive. Only few people die. But none of them are from our side,” Sonia said.

“Just how did they capture so many people?” I asked curiously.

“Other than those who can fly, all of them fell into a pitfall filled with spikes and oil. Then, the fire mages burned them all. When you leave, the earth mages on our side built a moat around the fake village and covered it with a thin layer of soil as a trap. The wind mages escaped through the sky, and some earth mages noticed the trap. But the werewolves helped by pushing them all into the pitfall,” Sonia said.

What the hell? That sounds like a very simple plan! But it works really well!

I guess that’s how it is against expert level mages. If the enemy have any artificial master level mages, we won’t be able to succeed with the plan. Whoever planned it must be smart.

“Alright. Tell Graham and Arin that I will open a portal soon. They need to come here,” I said.

If there are any werewolves, angels, or vampires in the cave, they might be someone that our monsters recognize. That’s why I will call them here later.

After giving the message to Sonia, Shelia and I chased after the five cult members who seem to be tamers. Only two of them noticed us coming closer. They tried to attack us with their magic, but we are faster. We dodged their attacks, make the other three sleep with my gases. After that, Shelia knocked the other two unconscious.

“Don’t you think that we have captured too many prisoners?” Shelia asked.

“For these five, I will get Albert interrogate them. Maybe we will find out more about enemy’s tamers, summoners, or their monsters,” I said.

I put collars on the five cult members, and transported them to a prison in the capital of Consenza. It has been designated as a place for me to transport the prisoners whom I find suspicious and might have a lot of information. Though I need Albert to get there without being found by those from Arturo. Especially the fake king of Arturo and those he brought with him.

Now we just need to check the cave. I opened a portal to where Graham is, and see Graham and Arin are both already prepared to come. I also see Elsie on the other side.

“Elsie, I will be busy for a while. I will leave you to keep watch on the surrounding. And for now, I won’t send another scout until we return,” I said to Elsie who nodded her head. I mean eyeball. I mean... whatever.

“So, why am I here?” Graham asked. He seriously doesn’t have any interest at all. And now that he has somehow gotten used to seeing girls wearing revealing outfits, I don’t know how to exploit his weakness anymore. And he’s becoming more and more of a pain in the ass.

“Sigh... There are monsters in the cave over there. And I think some of them are angels, werewolves, and probably vampires. I’d like you three to see them yourself. And go talk to them as well. Whether they want to help us fighting the cult later or not, I need to make sure that the contract has been nullified first,” I said.

I guided the three powerful monsters into the cave, and we see various monsters inside. There’s even a sky serpent as well. Though this one is smaller than Spot. Other than that, there’s an Orc Emperor, Salamander, and various powerful monsters. But they seem weird.

“What do you three thinks?” I asked.

“They look a bit different from the same monsters that I have encountered in the past. Maybe they really have been modified like you said,” Shelia said.

“Monsters modification, huh? Oh, there are three vampires here. Though I have never meet them before. I’ll go talk to them,” Arin said.

Three vampires, huh? They look just like humans. They are being imprisoned in the same cage, with several other monsters. Though they seem to be very quiet.

For now, I will open the cage and see what happens. I used Blobbykey to unlock the cage. Surprisingly, the monsters inside didn’t attack us. Well, even if they attack us, we can easily defeat them. Unless they have been modified so bad that they became too strong for me.

“You three vampires over there! Do you know me?” Arin asked the three vampires.

“...”

None of them answered. They seem to have lost all their energy.

“I’m the Vampire Queen, Arin. If you can speak, talk!”

The vampires still didn’t answer at all.

Sigh... how can we get an answer like this?

“Shelia, Graham, you two go check if there are any werewolves and angels. Here’s a Blobby to unlock the door of the cage,” I said while giving my two monsters a Blobby each that will transform into a key. As for me, I’ll stay with Arin for now.

“They didn’t answer anything at all,” Arin said to me.

“Hmm... Hey! Are you all still under contracts?” I asked the monsters loudly to find someone who can answer. But none of them replied.

This is annoying. What should I do now?

Oh, right. They are vampires. Let’s bribe him with blood.

I grabbed a blood bag with my portal. It’s filled with my blood. And Arin knew that as she’s looking at it while drooling.

I also grabbed three cups so I can share the blood for the three vampires. And I pour the blood on the cups, while leaving a bit behind in the bag for emergency use later before returning it with portal.

“Drink this. You might feel better after you had drunk this blood,” I said to the vampires.

The vampires slowly moved toward the cups and drink it at once. Their expression changed after they drink my blood. Of course they will. My blood is the greatest delicacy among vampires. Though I won’t let them have it for free if they want.

“So, can you talk now?” I asked the vampires.

“We want more blood!”

“Wrong thing to say,” I said as I killed one of them with one hit.

Seeing how easy it is for me to kill a vampire who has just drank a bit of blood, not just the two vampires there. All the monsters watching are looking at me with fear.

Now I’m confused. Who is the monster again?
