“As a tribute to my old friend, I’ll turn his only son as an ingredient of my werebeast nuclei! Hahahaha!” The mage said with a loud laugh of excitement

He can’t wait to see the reaction that Fierce Fire would have after learning of what happened to his precious only son

That would be his revenge on an old friend that ‘betrayed’ him by coveting the woman that he like

“Ohoo… At first, I was wondering if I should kill you or not but after hearing the werebeast nuclei, I now know that you are a member of Twighlight Beast. For that, you deserve death”

A voice suddenly entered everyone’s ears and when they looked at that voice’s source, they saw a young man sitting on a tree branch

That young man looks to be the same age as Maze Ceres and he was looking at the members of Twighlight Beasts as if they were already dead in his eyes

“Brat, who the hell are you? Well, it doesn’t matter. Since I, Fierce Soul have seen you, you will die!” The 4th fusion rank mage said

With the help of his crows, Rezen found these people. Since Fierce Soul’s side has ten people, Rezen thinks that they might be members of the Twighlight Beasts

It’s just that at first, he wasn’t sure, causing him to have a hard time choosing whether to help Fierce Soul’s victims or not

After all, this world is dangerous and Rezen already encountered danger many times before

He feared that meddling in something that is not his business will raise his death flag

But now, after learning of Fierce Soul’s origin, Rezen decided that he should kill them especially since he’s only missing ten corpses before he can upgrade his farm

“Kill me? Nah, I will be the one doing the killing” Rezen said, and as soon as he finished his sentence, the sky suddenly darkened

A flock of more than a thousand Nightmare Crows appeared in the air. Their shiny black feathers give off a sense of oppression

“Hmph, so what if you’re an enslaver? You don’t even have magic beast at the 4th rank!” Fierce Soul snorted

A 4th fusion rank mage can defeat or at least return alive facing that many crows. What more if the said mage has nine subordinates with him?

“Well, they are actually more of a means to prevent anyone from escaping since I’m the main battle force” Rezen replied as he jumped from the tree branch

As soon as that happens, the circular tattoo from his stomach released lines of intertwining tattoos to his torso, arms, legs, face, basically to every part of his body

The tattoos resonate with the natural laws, giving Rezen the right to create a supernatural phenomenon

“You’re strange but there’s a large gap between the 3rd and 4th rank! I will show it to you” Fierce Soul said, his soul-type mystic gem also floating on top of his palm

“[Hellscape!]” he tried to use the same spell that the old mage from the Ceres Family is afflicted with against Rezen

A soul-type spell is particularly strong against people that are below the caster’s rank mainly because of the difference in soul’s quality

Rezen’s power comes from the [Link] effect of his mystic gems and tattoos. His soul is still at the same level as his rank. If he let the soul-type spell affect him, even if he survived against 5th fusion rank mages in the past, he might still die from a 4th fusion rank mage

This is the advantage of the soul-type spells and times like this needed Rezen to use one of his numerous mutated crops

Rezen acts leisurely as he took out ‘something’ from his void storage ring

“Lemon?! Are you fucking with me?!” Fierce Soul said angrily

In return, Rezen merely smiled. This soul spell as soon as the magic circle was created would directly affect one’s mind and that is when Rezen sucked the lemon slice in his hand

Citrus Fruits clear up a person’s mind and since Rezen’s lemon is a mutated plant, it frees him from the effect of the soul-type spell

Rezen just started to sense something lurking in his soul when it was already expelled from him thanks to the lemon slice

“I-impossible!” Fierce Soul exclaimed. Soul-type spells are extremely effective against mages at a lower rank than the caster!

Elemental spells’ effects could still be diminished by blocking them with another spell

However, soul spells affect the soul itself. It’s not something that is easy to defend from

How can Rezen that is clearly only a 3rd fusion rank mage possibly resist a soul spell at the 4th rank and quite easily at that?

“Nightmare Crows, kill the underlings” Rezen ordered and his crows started attacking. With the number of crows, the nine underlings would resist for nothing

“Brat!” Fierce Soul said angrily. He waved his hand and another mystic gem appeared

This time, it was a yellowish brown mystic gem and it is of the sand element

Fierce Soul kicked the ground hard and a yellowish brown magic circle with a diameter of ten meters formed

“[Swallowing Desert!]”

The soil instantly changes into grains of sand that moved under Fierce Soul’s control

The sand went to intercept the Nightmare Crows and kill them, knocking the surrounding trees in the process

If Rezen let such a mage attack his crows, no doubt that they would die. As such, he made his move

“[Water Jet!]”

Rezen created his own magic circle below him and his body was instantly shrouded with water

He kicked his legs to the ground as he charged toward Fierce Soul which has a set of mystic gems that were quite incompatible with each other

After all, people might have a talent for two or more types of magic but their elements might not be complimentary with each other

It’s hard to use combination magic when the elements are sand and soul

“Tsk!” Fierce Soul clicked his tongue and he controlled a part of his sand to block Rezen

However, he clearly underestimated his enemy’s strength. Rezen’s [Water Jet] easily cuts through the sand and continues toward the enemy

“Annoying fucker!”

Without a choice, Fierce Soul controlled the remaining sand. They uprooted and covered the surrounding trees before using them to smash Rezen

Bang!

The combination of sand and trees was smashed and this is the moment that Fierce Soul realizes that he fucked up

“Aaahhhkkkk!!!” Fierce Soul cried out while his eyes rolled at the back of his head

Rezen’s [Water Jet] hit his body. The flesh of his torso bursts apart, exposing the internal organs within

“Ahh!!!”

“L-Lord Fierce Soul!”

“H-help!”

“N-no!”

Rezen easily killed Fierce Soul since the man underestimated him. After all, common sense dictates that a 3rd fusion rank mage cannot defeat a 4th fusion rank mage

Fierce Soul letting his guard down was his downfall. As for his underlings, even if they take the Nightmare Crows seriously, it doesn’t matter

The sheer number of the crows easily tore them apart and they weren’t even able to offer that much of a resistance

With Fierce Soul dead, the old mage also regained consciousness. The [Hellscape] spell was automatically deactivated and the first thing he had seen was Rezen surrounded by crows

As a result, the old mage hurriedly moved to where his Young Master was. He stood in front of Maze to protect him

The [Hellscape] spell forced him to see a hellish scene and he doesn’t know what happened

As such, it was normal that he would raise his guard especially after seeing that Fierce Soul and his subordinates are now dead

“Don’t be alarmed, I don’t plan on hurting you” Rezen casually said while storing the corpses of Twighlight Beast inside his storage

They are his precious quest materials

“Who are you?” The old mage questioned. He can feel that Rezen is a rank lower than him but Fierce Soul and the others were dead

He thinks that Rezen might be hiding his real power using a spell

“Nothing, don’t mind me” Rezen replied in a dismissive tone

“Y-you’re that mage from the military!” Maze that already recovered exclaimed in surprise

“Huh? I’m not from the military though I know some people there” Rezen said and he was reminded of his good brother Claude

He wondered how Claude is doing now. He can only hope that he was still alive and living well

“I saw your video of killing grey wolves with [Sun Blast]. How come you are already this strong?” Mace asks, he was really surprised

With the help of the special spirit plants that his father bought for him, he reached the 2nd fusion rank in less than two months since he focused on learning magic theories

He thought that his progress was really good and he had already forgotten Rezen. But now, he had seen Rezen again not just in a video but in person!
