Chapter 368 Danger!
despite the fact that it was rezen who planned the ambush of the senior rank beast, it does not mean that he wouldn't face any danger. in fact, it was the opposite. he along with the other people in the camp will face danger once that magic beast attacks.
while taking treen with him to retreat, rezen retrieved a magic scroll from his storage. fire immediately burned from his hand and the scroll turned into dust.
the number of magic beasts at the senior rank is greater than mages at the same rank. as such, it was impossible for the academy to station a senior rank mage in this resource point when there was only one magic beast at the same rank.
the plan was instead for rezen to give a signal using the magic scroll and soon, a senior mage would come. what he and treen had to do now was to survive.
"s-so strong! how can we survive that!" treen watched in horror as whether they were low-cycle, mid-cycle, or even high-cycle junior mages, they were cut into pieces by that magic beast. this is the terror of a senior rank beast!
"focus on defense! we just need to wait until the senior mage arrives!" rezen said and he was forced to let go of treen to face an incoming attack.
to their bad luck, a magic beast at the 9th cycle of the junior rank actually set its eyes on them. the tiger-type magic beast pounced at the two and rezen waved his magic wand.
"[borg!]"
he used the most simple magic spell to erect a barrier to block the sharp teeth of the tiger.
bang!
the sound was like a truck hitting a metallic building, smoke flew everywhere and although rezen is confident that he can kill this in time using his magic, time is of the essence.
the farther they are at the senior beast, the safer they would become and rezen naturally wouldn't want to waste time fighting this magic beast.
as such, he waved his other hand, and a subtle poison spread. this poison was undetectable even by senior mages and any being below the senior rank would succumb to it.
the formless poison attacked the tiger and soon, its fur turned green in color as it lost its strength and life. it was poisoned to death by rezen!
the poison was extracted from the strange moss from the krome underground. the strange moss's poison was not weak and was not enough to kill a high-cycle mage instantly.
after all, even rezen survived the moss by consuming purifying clovers. if he can do that with a human's body, what more for a magic beast at the peak of the junior rank?
the only redeeming quality of that moss was its subtlety. even senior ranks lifeforms are unable to detect it and rezen combined those characteristics to create an even more potent poison.
he used the contaminants from the remaining contaminated stones he got from the krome underground to create a more potent poison while still retaining the discreetness of the poison.
just look at the magic scrolls he used. each of them surely costs a ton of mana stones considering that they were able to roast all three peak junior beasts to death.
even rezen can't help but be envious. if only he still has his mystical cherry bombs in this realm!
alas! due to the complete laws of the savage beast realm, his farm was 'nerfed' greatly, and even its size was only slightly larger than a kilometer in diameter.
rezen threw the unnecessary thoughts in his head and he continued running away. enjoy new tales from empire
"shit! why did a senior rank beast suddenly appear here?"
rezen suddenly heard a familiar voice and he turned to look at the source. it was actually porenz and she was even with theon.
this situation kind of reminded rezen of the day when the crimson gate appeared in their class.
"rezen!" theon called out after seeing rezen, relieved inside. while he and porenz are still at the mid-cycle of the junior rank, rezen on the other hand is already a high-cycle mage, just one step away from the peak.
with his help, their survival rate would increase!
rezen acknowledged with a nod and he hurriedly waved his magic wand. he fired a beam of sunlight and it struck a magic beast at the 6th cycle that almost killed theon.
that causes theon's back to be covered in sweat and he immediately thanked rezen. there really is no time even for greeting in this kind of situation. even a second of carelessness is enough to get you killed.
with the two groups merging, they continue running with the help of their spells and treasure. as rezen was the strongest among the four, he proactively killed the magic beasts getting in their way when suddenly, they felt all the hair on their bodies standing.
a sense of danger engulfed their senses and a shadow was cast above them. when the group of four students raised their heads, they saw the dreadful beast staring at them with a cruel glint in its eyes.
due to luck and other factors, their group was one of the groups that were able to put a considerable distance from where the senior beast appeared the first time.
however, their ability to flee fast might also become the cause of their demise. because they are one of the farthest, the magic beast decided to attack them first.
they created a considerable distance from this dreadful beast but as a flying-type magic beast with high affinity to the wind element, it can move extremely fast!
these junior mages simply cannot outrun it.
after seeing the eagle, the faces of the four paled. they seem to see the god of death arriving to harvest their lives.
