Chapter 17 - Roddy's Shock

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Reint smiled and cast a spell as light gathered in both of his hands.

After several mages joined forces, everyone finally killed the tusk boar.

As they looked at the corpse of the tusk boar, the shock in their eyes did not dissipate for a long time.

Many of them were magic students who were hunting demonic beasts for the first time.

Their first attempt at hunting a demonic beast was actually so difficult.

If not for the help of a few seniors, more of them would have been injured.

Besides, they had just hunted a tusk boar, it was one of the weaker low-level demonic beasts.

If they encountered a slightly stronger low-level demonic beast, how would they fight?

If there was no one to protect them, they would most likely be wiped out.

On the other side, the seniors who had been cultivating in the Magic Academy for a year were equally shocked.

Were they killing low-level demonic beasts?

It was absurd, how could low-level demonic beasts be so strong?!

The strength displayed by this tusk boar had far surpassed all the low-level demonic beasts they had seen before.

It even greatly surpassed their understanding of low-level demonic beasts.

No matter what, this kind of low-level demonic beast was definitely not something they could face alone as Rank Two Mages.

Other than the terrified magic students, Roddy, who had been resting at the side, slowly walked out after seeing that the low-level demonic beast had been killed.

Although he did not speak, his slightly shaken expression revealed his current state of mind.

He was naturally different from the magic students.

If the students were only surprised, then he was now absolutely certain that the tusk boar killed in front of him was no ordinary demonic beast.

To his knowledge, as a low-level demonic beast, the tusk boar was only equivalent to a Rank One Mage.

Any mage could defeat it.

However, this tusk boar was almost at the level of a Rank Three Mage.

Perhaps it was just a demonic beast that had suddenly mutated for some unknown reason.

That was the only reason Roddy could think of.

After all, everyone had already come to the César Forest. They could not go back just because they encountered a slightly stronger low-level demonic beast.

Therefore, the assessment of the magic students and the creation of magic staffs still had to be carried out.

“Alright, if anyone needs this earth-type beast core, go retrieve it.”

“Now, let’s find the next demonic beast.” Roddy said slowly.

After a magic student extracted the earth-type beast core from the tusk boar.

Roddy then led everyone deeper into the forest.

Using his Spirit Vision spell, he discovered a few low-level demonic beasts.

A mutated demonic beast was just a coincidence after all.

Roddy immediately prepared to use the low-level demonic beast that he had detected to build some confidence for everyone.

Among the low-level demonic beasts, the demonized spirit monkey was one of the weaker ones.

Immediately, he led the students to approach the demonized spirit monkey which was eating wild fruits.

A few Rank One Mages remembered the concept of unity from before and immediately walked out of the group to fight with the demonized spirit monkey.

Yet, an intense battle erupted.

Initially, the students thought that they could kill the demonized spirit monkey through its weakness. However, the demonized spirit monkey toyed with them in the forest and avoided all the magic spells.

In fact, it almost scratched a few mages.

In the end, when the demonized spirit monkey’s claw was about to strike a mage’s neck, Roddy had no choice but to attack. He used a spell to send the demonized spirit monkey flying a few meters away.

The severely injured demonized spirit monkey could no longer move around in the forest, so the students used magic to kill it.

The second demonized spirit monkey that everyone encountered was also abnormally powerful.

At the same time, this demonized spirit monkey dealt a huge blow to the students’ confidence once again.

Seeing this scene, Roddy did not believe it and led the students to the next low-level demonic beast.

But next, everyone encountered a blazing bull which displayed strength that exceeded its racial characteristics.

All sorts of fire attacks caused the students to flee. In the end, a few of them finally managed to use water magic to suppress it and defeat the blazing bull.

Until now, two hours had already passed.

To everyone, this was only the third low-level demonic beast they had faced.

As Roddy led the students deeper and deeper into the forest, they encountered the same situation every time they encountered a low-level demonic beast.

It was clearly a low-level demonic beast, but it could always display the strength of a Rank Two or Three Mage.

Forget the fact that the students he had mentioned earlier were supposed to be able to hunt demonic beasts alone, right now, it was difficult for even several Rank One Mages to kill a single low-level demonic beast together.

Against some slightly stronger demonic beasts, they even needed him to help out.

Just like that, the abnormal situation within the forest had caught Roddy’s attention.

All the demonic beasts in the forest were far more powerful than those of the same race.

Whether it was due to professional ethics or for the safety of the surrounding humans.

As the person leading the students out for the assessment, having encountered such an abnormally terrifying situation, he had to report it to the academy immediately.

He had to ask the academy to send professionals to handle it.

After making up his mind, Roddy did not dare to be careless.

“From now on, I will help you hunt demonic beasts.”

“Once the mission is completed, we will return to the academy as soon as possible,” Roddy spoke slowly to the students.

They could no longer stay here to assess the students’ strength.

What everyone needed to do now was to kill and obtain as many monster cores as possible.

With his help, he should be able to complete the mission quickly and lead the students back to the academy safely.

Roddy immediately led the students towards the next demonic beast.

…

At the same time, while the students of the Sigt Magic Academy were busy hunting demonic beasts.

At a place near the edge of César Forest, there was a small commotion.

A cuckoo bird flew down from the sky and landed in front of a large white wolf.

This white wolf was the White Wolf King that Jobs had nurtured a month ago.

Although it was only a low-level demonic beast, its strength was definitely comparable to a Rank Four Mage.

Several demonic beasts at the edge of their monster territory had died.

After the cuckoo bird sent the message, the White Wolf King also knew that a group of people from the Magic Academy were hunting demonic beasts.

Its master had once given instructions.

Any living being that dared to probe deep into their territory, even if it was a human, would be killed.

Now that several demonic beasts had been killed in their territory, that was enough to draw its attention.

The wolf’s eyes flickered with light.

The White Wolf King immediately stood up and gave an order to the cuckoo bird, asking it to enter the depths of the demonic beast forest to inform their master, Jobs.

Meanwhile, it ran towards the mages in the forest.
