The Bizarre Eagle was 1.5 meters long, it opened its single beak as it shot a fiery beam with electric sparks around it
This beam was the combination of the three elements; Wind, Fire, and Lightning
Even just a normal attack of the Bizarre Eagle is already a combination magic. This really puts it above the average magic beasts
Lord Keito’s robes fluttered as he casts his own spell. A magic circle appeared on the ground he was standing on and a sheet of metal formed
He rode that sheet of metal and it elevated his body in the air, elevating his position, effectively dodging the beam of three elements that blasted a large hole on the ground
His subordinates aren’t idle too as they assumed a circular formation with Lord Keito and the Bizarre Eagle inside
The bodies of the nine subordinates glowed as they conjured magic circles
The nine magic circles were of different elements and also released a beast of different appearances before a barrier was formed, trapping Lord Keito and the Bizarre Eagle inside
“[Formation Magic: Harmony of the Ten Beasts!]”
This magic formation is something exclusive to the Twighlight Beasts. The lowest requirement would be one 4th fusion rank mage and nine 3rd fusion rank mage
The formation has several uses. The first would be trapping the enemy or enemies inside. The second would be the transferring of the strength to one person or to anyone that needed it. If anyone from the formation is attacked, the formation could let them borrow greater power to protect themselves. Hence, breaking the formation by killing one person is also hard
The third is that the formation could also borrow the power of nature albeit this would put a burden on every one that is part of the formation
This formation is something that the Twighlight Beasts relied on, it gave them the strength to overpower enemies
A layer of mana covered Lord Keito’s body, his mystic gem resonating with the natural laws as he conjured ten magic circles at once
All the magic circles formed around the Bizarre Eagle as Lord Keito waved his hand
“[Metal Chains!]” he muttered and chains created from hard and durable metals came out of the magic circles
The chains tried to wrap themselves around the Bizarre Eagle but it flapped its wings wildly and that generated strong gusts of winds
The winds made it hard for the metals to continue moving, they were being pushed back as the eagle continue to create the winds
“Increase the buff output!” Lord Keito ordered and his subordinates complied
They created another magic circle as they manipulated the formation and they borrowed the power of the universe
Lord Keito can feel his strength rising, his stretched-out arms powering his ten magic circles
The metal chains glowed with a cold light as their powers also increases and they manage to pierce through that protective wind barrier
The Bizarre Eagle was wrapped with metal chains, it opened its beak and another beam of three elements was fired, breaking one of the metal chains
However, it was at this moment that Lord Keito conjured another set of magic circles
“[Lighning Streaks!]”
The streaks of lightning did not target the Bizarre Eagle directly but the metal chains instead
The lightning coated the metal chains that in turn electrocuted the Bizarre Eagle. With metal as conductor, the eagle received even greater damage than if it was just hit directly by the lightning streaks
“Aaahhkkk!!”
The eagle cried out in pain, it was being electrocuted to death, and Lord Keito glanced at one of his subordinates that nodded his head at him
The power from the formation was divided, less than a third of it was given to another mage who was at the 3rd fusion rank
His body glowed with mana as he held a sword in his hand
Two more subordinates cast spells of the wind element that elevated the sword holder’s body in the air for him to reach the Bizarre Eagle
While Lord Keito was holding the eagle back with the metal chains with flowing electricity on them, one of his subordinates was helped by the others to reach the Bizarre Eagle and he stabbed it to death by piercing its heart
A Bizarre Eagle… a magic beast that is considered top-tier died easily just like that, showcasing the power behind the exclusive formation magic of the Twighlight Beasts!
As soon as the eagle died, the formation was deactivated since it would use up the strength of the users
Lord Keito stored the corpse inside his void storage ring. They would rest for a bit before continuing to hunt more corpses
“Lord Keito, we will reach the required number of human corpses soon for a werebeast nucleus but we still don’t have any human corpses” one of the subordinates spoke out his concern and Keito just waved his hand in disinterest
“Magic beasts’ corpses are harder to get. As for humans… aren’t there people living outside the protection of the city? We can just pick them later after we hunt more magic beasts” Lord Keito replied and the subordinate’s eyes lit up
“Lord Keito is indeed wise!” The subordinate said in flattery but Lord Keito just shrugged his shoulders

“Time for some soy sauce making!” Rezen said excitedly after harvesting his soybeans
The soybeans were easy to grow like his other crops and there was quite a lot of them in a single plant considering that it was just a normal crop and not spirit plants
There were beans that mutated but Rezen ignored them for now. This is his day off. It should be spent on farming and also using the crops that he had grown
The first thing that Rezen did was of course to rinse the soybeans. These beans grew on his farm with no pests or fertilizers but he still washed them like how he is used to
After that, Rezen prepared jars, filled them with some water, and placed the soybeans inside
Fortunately, his farmhouse also contains things that would let him use his crops and he has several large glass jars
“Ah, yes, why am I so excited? Soysauce takes time! I have to soak them for 12-16 hours before I continue!” Rezen said to himself while slapping his own forehead
He planned on cooking fried rice today using the soy sauce he personally made but how can he do that when it takes more than a day to make soy sauce?
“Aish, so stupid!”
Without a choice, Rezen can only give up. He returned to his farm and stared at the small olive trees
Since there wouldn’t be soy sauce for today, Rezen might as well just extract the oil from the olives
He separated the mutated olives from the edible olives before returning to his farmhouse
He grabbed a colander and placed the harvested olives on it before thoroughly washing them with water
After making sure that the olives were dry, Rezen placed them inside a bowl before using a kitchen mallet to crush the olives and turning them into a paste
“Hmm, damn, I’m only just starting yet it already smells this good” Rezen sighed. This batch of smashed olives in front of him smells really good!
Rezen continued smashing the olives and after he judged that it was enough, he grabbed some tall drinking glasses and transferred the olives into them while adding some water
He made sure that the water is not too much nor too little and that the water was hot but not boiling
“Lalala~ lalala~ lalala~” Rezen hummed happily but while he was working, Zero suddenly spoked to him
“Master…” Zero called out and Rezen glanced at him
“Yes? What is it?” Rezen asked in a joyful tone. His mood was improving while doing the things that he like
“T-the soybeans… they already doubled in size” Zero said and Rezen blinked his eyes repeatedly
The soybeans were soaked in water and they would double in size overnight by absorbing the water, therefore, hydrating them
However, the process is definitely not something that would be finished in an instance. This should happen in the duration of hours but Zero is saying that the soybeans already doubled in size?
Rezen knew that Zero wouldn’t lie to him but he was still doubtful. As such, he exited the kitchen and enter the living room. He left the jars of soybeans on the table in front of his small sofa
Rezen already expected that Zero was saying the truth but he was still surprised. The soybeans indeed doubled in size!
The water was absorbed that fast!
“Ayoo! I didn’t expect that my crops were this magical! This is really helping me!” Rezen said happily. He likes doing the farm work and such but he doesn’t like waiting which was a bit of a contradiction in his personality
He doesn’t have the patience to wait on things but he also likes slowly watching his crops grow from seeds to matured crops
