BANG!
Being pushed back, Samuel raised his head and saw a slime like creature was standing in front of him.
It was moving slowly, but the pressure it exerted was by no means any less than the rank 8 magic beast that he had faced before. It was obvious that this creature was at least rank 8.
Samuel’s expression twitched.
Buzz!
It had warned that there was a rank 8 magic beast, but Samuel was not listening!
Now look at this!
The sword was furious and wanted to jump out to make trouble, but Samuel restrained the sword.
He didn’t know whether the room has been breached or it was because of some other reason that there was a rank 8 magic beast inside the room. But no matter which one it is, he had to deal with this slime as fast as possible.
Splash!
The slime moved and Samuel quickly avoided it to the side while calculating the opponent’s speed and power. He had to say that this rank 8 slime was really powerful and not something that he could possibly deal easily.
Damn it.
Samuel clicked his tongue and then quickly drew his sword.
Slash!
The sword cut through the slime, but it was uninjured and returned back to normal. Any physical attack would not have any effect on slime like magic beasts and only magic could possibly harm them.
It was also because of this that many warriors hated the slime very much.
Because they couldn’t attack it unless their aura was of higher rank than the slime. If they were of the same rank or lower, then their aura would be useless and they had no other choice but to run away.
So when facing slime like magic beasts, only magicians and magic warriors could stay behind.
Samuel had experience facing the slime, but he still wanted to try using physical attacks.
The result?
There was no surprise.
Seeing the slime was wiggling around and then splashed out a lot of water, Samuel nimbly avoided it while calculating what magic spells would be useful. He couldn’t just run away and wanted to try out dealing with this rank 8 slime.
Because for some reasons, Samuel felt that the appearance of this rank 8 magic beast was a bit odd.
“I’ll be the channel of thunder, transmitting the power of lightning and projecting it towards my enemy... the great lightning spear!”
Boom! Crackle!
Lightning converged, turning into the strongest attack power as Samuels struck down the slime once again. His speed and strength surpassed the slime, so it was not a problem to hit it.
As for whether the hit would be effective or not, it would remain to be seen.
Buzz!
The slime suddenly stopped moving and the next moment, it turned into a puddle of water with only a ball like thing stayed in the middle of the puddle.
Samuel glanced at it and instantly recognized it as a magic tool.
This was a magic tool that could be used to stimulate and replicate other people or magic beasts. This magic tool was quite expensive and was commonly used for practice in their family for the younger generation.
Reason?
Because this tool was a bit weak against lightning and for those of higher ranks, they only needed to use their lightning magic spells to deal with it.
Once they did, they would be able temporarily disable the mechanism.
Samuel paused.
He picked the tool up and his expression was a bit strange.
“It’s a test?”
Only someone from their family would use lightning element as their first countermeasure. Because lightning element was considered rare and there were not many people who could possibly use it.
Moreover, the lock had to use their family’s blood and mana to open.
The defense mechanism was really high.
If other people were to face the rank 8 magic beast... many of them would choose to run away.
Besides, Samuel knew that this tool was designed to give out magic beast at one rank higher than the opponent. Because only in this way would it be possible for them to train.
He could also use it to practice later.
Putting aside his doubts, Samuel made his way inside and looked at the thing inside.
He froze.
“A video stone?”
It was another magic tool but the use was for recording.
With doubts in his heart, Samuel infused his mana into the recording stone and watched over the video in front of him. Seeing his father’s appearance and then the explanation about various things, Samuel was dumbfounded.
He was silent, listening to his father’s words from the beginning until the end.
How could he possibly know... the truth would be like this?
His fingers clenched into a fist, testament to his uncomfortable emotions.
...
Long distance away, Ruth’s location
Jleb! Thud!
Another magic beast had fallen down and Ruth looked at the magic beast with an indifferent look. She had been fighting with a lot of magic beasts along the way as she slowly made her way back to the familiar location.
Even if she wanted to say familiar... to be honest, the world had changed so much that it didn’t look that familiar anymore.
But she still chose the same direction that would lead her to the place where she used to be.
Ruth didn’t come from any powerful background.
In fact, her background was one of the lowest one among the returnees as she was a village girl.
Perhaps, not that much different from Riya and Peter as they didn’t have any access to magic and other various practice. They had to work hard on their own, looking for methods to start their practice and becoming a magician or other professions.
The village she used to stay was close to a city, so Ruth looked for the city first.
Once she found it, she headed in the direction where the village used to be.
But...
Ruth looked at the different part of the forest in front of her and pursed her lips.
