n-1st fusion rank gems: Metal, Ice
nNote: please focus on a specific type of gem to access the list of learned spells
nRezen stared at his status window. There was the addition of the Metal and Ice element but since they are only at the 1st fusion rank right now, they aren’t necessarily useful
nThe spells he mostly uses are the ones that he has 3rd fusion rank gems as they are the strongest
nRezen knows to himself that personally, he is untalented but he doubts that there would be a mage at his rank that can defeat him
n“Time to start my revenge” he muttered coldly before sending an order to his crows
nThe more than a thousand crows flapped their wings and they flocked around him. Rezen stepped on the crows and have them fly around him towards one of the Mountain Range around the Greenwood City
nIt was still the Eye of the Storm Mountain Range
nTurns out that Keito is not the only Lord from the Twighlight Beast that is hunting magic beasts in that Mountain Range
nTo create wolf-type werebeast nuclei, corpses of wolves are needed. The ingredients differ depending on what the nuclei would be
nKeito’s senior wanted a Bizarre Eagle-type werebeast nuclei as that magic beast is one of the stronger magic beasts. In return, Keito’s senior would also be stronger
nHowever, to create the nuclei, more than one corpse of Bizarre Eagle is needed and the other Lords under Keito’s senior are instructed to hunt Bizarre Eagles
nThat’s already a very good clue. Rezen just has to find people that are hunting Bizarre Eagles. If those people use the Formation Magic: Harmony of Ten Beasts then no doubt that they are members of Twighlight Beasts
nRezen had his crows fly him to the mountain range and after they arrived, he had some of them search for suitable targets
nHaving people or magic beasts do one’s bidding is really convenient. Rezen doesn’t have to take the hard route of searching for his targets personally
nWith the help of his Nightmare Crows, it didn’t take that long before Rezen found some of his ‘prey’ and he hurriedly went to meet them
nThese prey have the same system of hunting as Keito when he was the one hunting the Bizarre Eagle
nThere are ten members in total that uses their organization exclusive formation together
nThe very core of that formation was the only 4th fusion rank mage. The power of the others was transferred to her as she fought with the Bizarre Eagle on her own
n“Crystal Shield!”
nThe mage created a large lump of white crystals in front of her powered up by her subordinates’ strength and also the power of nature that blocks the beam attack of the Bizarre Eagle
nThese eagles’ energy beams aren’t normally something that an average mage could block considering that their attack was the combination of the power of three elements
nHowever, with the help of the formation, the mage managed to block the energy beam quite easily
n“My first prey” Rezen thought as he stared at these ten mages inside the invisible barrier that would prevent the Bizarre Eagle from escaping if it tried to
nRezen waved his hand and a piece of broccoli appeared on his hand
nIt was said that broccolis increase a man’s libido but this mutated broccoli of Rezen increases something else
nHe threw the broccoli inside his mouth and chewed it a bit before swallowing
nHe can feel heat spreading from his stomach to the rest of his body. The mana inside his elixir field stirred. Even his mystic gems glowed
nThe mutated broccoli instead of increasing Rezen’s libido boosted his power
nHe has his personal strength and he has his crows but it was better to be cautious or he might encounter a dangerous situation again
nAfter Rezen willed it, tattoos spread on his whole body starting from the circle tattoo on his stomach
nThe tattoos were on his arms, legs, torso, and even face. These tattoos just like mystic gems resonate with the natural laws
nRezen called out his lightning-type gem and both his mystic gem and mystic tattoo resonated with the natural laws, boosting his power by a large margin thanks to his Link blessing
nThe power of lightning gathered at Rezen’s fist. Sparks of lightning rage on his fist, ready to deal devastating damage any time from now
nWith a serious expression on his face, Rezen moved his arm to charge before his fist punched the air
nZap!!
nThat punch sent a thick blue streak of lightning straight to the invisible barrier. Its power was deadly and lethal
nIt flew at a very fast speed that none of the mages inside the formation has the time to react especially since they were in the middle of a fight
nBang!!
nThe lightning streak collided with the barrier causing it to shake heavily and cracks formed on it
nEven 4th fusion rank mages cannot easily destroy that barrier even if the casters let them attack the barrier
nHowever, Rezen which is only at the 3rd rank managed to create cracks in it
nHis action causes the casters’ focus to falter, including the only 4th-rank mage
nShe unconsciously turned her head to check what happened which was a bad decision on her part as the Bizarre Eagle uses that chance to attack
nAn attack that resulted in that female mage losing one of her arms
n“Aaagghhh!!!”
nWith the help of the formation, 4th rank mages would have an easy time defeating and killing even magic beasts at the Bizarre Eagle’s level
nHowever, it doesn’t mean that they couldn’t be injured especially if there is an external factor included
n“Who’s there?!” The female mage shouted angrily while holding what remains of her arm
nUnfortunately, the Bizarre Eagle doesn’t give her time to think or act. It flapped its wings wildly and raging winds revolved inside the barrier
nThe winds cut and abused the surrounding trees, even the grass was cut or uprooted
nSplinters flew around and the members of Twighlight Beast has no choice but to refocus on the Bizzare Eagle
nUnfortunately for them, Rezen is still not finished yet
n“Nightmare Crows, attack!” Rezen ordered and his Nightmare Crows that hid in the shadows showed themselves
nNormally, the female mage at the 4th rank has a soul strong enough to notice the Nightmare Crows
nBut since she is busy with the Bizarre Eagle, she failed to notice their presence
nA thousand and five hundred Nightmare Crows emerged from the shadows. They collectively opened their beaks to send purple beams of energy that slammed on the invisible barrier
nBang! Bang! Bang!
nThe air trembled as the invisible barrier trembled
n4th fusion rank mages might have the ability to kill all of Rezen’s Nightmare Crows but it doesn’t mean that these many crows were nothing
nIt’s just that, the attack of the 4th ranks could instantly decimate hundreds of crows. That’s how powerful they were
nBut the collective attack of 1.5k crows is definitely stronger than a single attack of a 4th fusion rank mage
nRezen gathered the power of lightning on his fist for the second time before sending yet another punch
nZap!!
nA streak of lightning flew in the air, landing and hitting the barrier
nWith the combination of Rezen and his Nightmare Crows, it didn’t take that long before the barrier was forcefully destroyed
n“Cough!”
n“Cough!”
n“Cough!”
nBecause of the forceful destruction of the formation, the members of Twighlight Beast received a backlash
nAll of them suffered internal injuries and they coughed out fresh blood
n“B-bastard!” The female mage curses before she has to dodge the claw attack of the Bizarre Eagle
nWithout the support of the formation, the female mage is definitely not a match for the Bizarre Eagle
nShe can only do her best to control the sheet of crystal she was standing on to dodge
nBut even then, a part of her crystal sheet was still crushed under the might of the eagle’s claw
nEven her left leg was cut off easily. Her flesh and bones don’t even offer the slightest bit of resistance before they were sliced off completely
n“Aaagghh!!!”
nThe pain of losing a limb is no joke but the female mage’s only chance of survival is to try fleeing from here but that is when she heard Rezen’s voice
n“Essence of the Sun”
nRezen’s sun-type mystic gem appeared at the top of his palm. His eyes glowing with a yellow light stared at it while he condensed a magic circle directly on his mystic gem
nAside from glowing brighter than usual, nothing else happened to the mystic gem itself but the same is not true for the people he deemed as his ‘enemy’
nThey have suffered under the first ever magic spell he personally created
n
