142 Chapter 142
Without a choice, Rain can only give up but she decided to give one last help to Rezen
“[Ice Soldiers!]”
Ten magic circles formed near Rezen and from them, humanoid creatures with bodies completely made from ice emerged
Of course, these ice creatures are not real living lifeforms. They are just something created by magic
“Sorry…” Rain apologizes before she controlled her sheet of ice to take her away
Everyone has their own selfishness. The relationship between Rezen and Rain might be a bit good but it was not to the point that they would sacrifice themselves for each other
Rezen was left with his parents again. At this point, his eyes have already dulled with tears of blood flowing down from them
Despair has completely held his heart. Even with the various spirit plants and mutated crops that he has stored, there is nothing from them that could save his parents
Even with the system, how would it be easy to resurrect the dead?
[Host… please evacuate as soon as possible] the system that normally didn’t speak to Rezen on its own suddenly spoke
Rezen has already thought that something changed with his system after he upgraded it and this moment further solidified that
However, he was in no condition to think about that matter in the meantime
He stayed on the ground as if he wants to accompany his parents until their souls fully dissipated
However, he suddenly sensed magic fluctuations nearby, a sign that a spell was being activated
The magic fluctuations that the spell released was familiar to Rezen and he shot the caster a deadly look
“[Soul Extr–ugh!!]”
Before the mage could extract the souls and store them in the special crystals, a beam of sunlight penetrated his head, causing his death
With Bone Sage and the others’ fate unknown, while the Twighlight Beast still has combatants at the 6th rank, the survivors even those in the military fled
As for the Twighlight Beast, their confidence rose and they ferociously hunted the fleeing survivors
“Hmm? There’s actually still someone that didn’t try to flee”
Standing around a hundred meters from Rezen, a mage wearing brown aristocratic attire can be seen
His eyes has a hint of amusement in them as he stared at Rezen kneeling in front of his parents
“Hahaha! Since you resigned yourself to death, I’ll accomplish your wish!”
“[Earth Stream]”
The mage that was most commonly known as Clay Doll Master laughed as he sent a simple stream spell
Since there are no more defenders at the 6th fusion rank, Clay Doll Master can now arrogantly walk in Greenwood City without fearing danger
Even an average 6th fusion rank mage is not someone that others below that rank can defeat
Rezen’s senses warned him and he shot his enemy a look. Based on the energy undulations, this attack was in the 6th grade
Spells at this level could definitely instantly kill Rezen without giving him the chance to consume recovery pills
His dark expression grew darker but he still controlled his Mystic Gem and Mystic Tattoos
His whole body was filled with the intense power of the sun. He knew that he might not survive even after using all his might but he at least should do it!
Rezen was about to face that stream spell when the space between him and Clay Doll Master suddenly twisted
A spatial portal formed and from it, a man in his early to mid-twenties with golden blonde hair and piercing blue eyes came out
“D-Dark Saint?!” The eyes of the Clay Doll Master flashed with surprise but that was only it
The Dark Saint is just a 5th fusion rank mage, how could he be a match for him?
The full information about Claude and General Leon’s clash wasn’t spread. As such, the Twighlight Beast doesn’t know that when Claude was a 5th fusion rank mage, he was so heaven-defying that even the weaker 6th fusion rank mages has a chance of dying from his hands
Not to mention, the information about Claude’s rank is already outdated
After his infiltration into the Twighlight Beast, his life was saved when an entrance to an ownerless Blessed Land suddenly appeared and swallowed him
After spending time and taking the benefits from the Blessed Land, Claude has broken through the next rank and reached the peak of the mortal world!
However, he didn’t expect that as soon as he got out and returned to the outside world, he would actually be facing an attack
Even then, this merely causes a frown to form on his face
His dark-type mystic gem showed itself as he stretched out his hand. A black magic circle formed on Claude’s palm and it releases a stream of dark energies
“[Dark Stream!]”
Claude uses his own stream spell to cancel out the stream spell of the Clay Doll Master
Almost instantly, all the hair on the Clay Doll Master’s body stood up as he senses the aura of Claude
“6th fusion rank mage!” He exclaimed in disbelief
A 6th fusion rank mage at just the age of 23 or 24… none from the entire history of humanity achieved a similar feat
The record for the youngest 6th rank mage is now in Claude’s hands!
Seeing this, the Clay Doll Master didn’t dare stay even a second longer. Claude might have just reached the 6th rank but with the talent he displayed, he should still be stronger than just a newly advanced mage
The Clay Doll Master knew of his strength and limitations. He don’t want to fight someone like Claude and he promptly decided to flee!
As for Claude, the first thing he had seen was the seen of wreckage near him
Buildings collapsed, broken concretes littered the surrounding, cars were burnt, and roads were shattered…
No matter where one looks at, this is a city that belonged to humans but this city was badly destroyed
There were even countless bodies that littered the surroundings along with the solidified souls of the dead
Seeing this, boundless fury erupted inside Claude. He has always been someone that despises the killing and abuse from the weak
He still hasn’t grasped the entire situation but no matter what, the thousands of deaths of normal civilians arouses his fury
“Stay here!” Claude’s voice rang and the Clay Doll Master trembled
He was already in the middle of flying in the sky when Claude’s demonic gaze landed on him
“[Fear Grip!]” Claude muttered as black magic circles formed on his eyes
Even though he just advanced to the peak rank of the mortal world, Claude’s soul was actually already stronger than Clay Doll Master’s soul
His spell was successfully cast and the same magic circles on his eyes appeared on the eyes of his target
The man trembled, his brown aristocratic attire tightly clung to his body as he instantly sweated hard
He uttered incomprehensible sounds with his eyes widened in shock as if he just witnessed the most terrifying scene in the world
This was the same spell that Claude uses on the traitor Vice-general before. In the past, he could only use this spell to 5th fusion rank mages but he actually already grasped the 6th rank version!
It can be seen that the benefits he obtained from the Blessed Land would make even mages at his level turn green in envy
A newly advanced mage should be lacking in spells appropriate for their rank but that problem seems to be non-existent to Claude
“[Ghost Hands!]”
Claude created yet another magic circle and from it, tens of black hands came out that held the Clay Doll Master and pulled him towards him
“B-brother Claude…”
It was at this moment that Claude felt someone tugging the hem of his clothes
He of course already sensed Rezen before but he was enraged by the scene of carnage he witnessed. As such, he focused on capturing the terrorist
Claude turned to look at Rezen and saw the tears of blood that he shed. Such an expression of pain also pained Claude’s heart
No matter who it was, as long as they are not bad people, Claude wouldn’t ever want them to be in this much pain
Claude immediately grew concerned to the point that he ignored the ridiculous number of mystic gems around Rezen
“S-save… s-save my parents p-please…” He pleaded desperately
Rezen knew that even if it was Claude, resurrecting the dead should be impossible
However, Rezen is desperate. Even if there is a small fraction of chance, he would try to grasp it
The Rezen that Claude can see right now felt unfamiliar to him. The Rezen that was bubbly and a bit silly is nowhere to be seen anymore. Only a despairing Rezen was left
Certain memories that molded Claude’s personality as it is right now flashed in his mind causing him to deeply sympathize with Rezen
This… this is the sorrow of the weak caused by the vile power in power. This is the thing that Claude never wanted to see from anyone
