Chapter 203 203

With an anxious heart, Stone Head run to his and his wife's hut just to see her already dead and bloody body

The woman that was alive just moments ago is now dead and from the look of things, she might have committed suicide

Is it because of guilt? Or maybe she was taken advantage of by Big Nose and thus decided to kill herself

Thousands of thoughts swirled inside Stone Head's mind for a moment before the only thing left inside him was the thought of murdering the person that causes his wife to die

His mana surged from his elixir field and covered the entirety of his body. A pressure that causes the apprentice mages to take a step back was emitted by his body and the tribesmen moved far away from him

What a joke! If a Junior Mage went on a rampage, these apprentices could only offer little to no resistance as there is a big gap between the two ranks!

Stone Head went to his wife's remains and gave her a kiss on the forehead before walking out

No matter what, today, he must kill Big Nose!

Seeing how the situation turned, the Chief decided to intervene. She stepped out and stood between Stone Head and Big Nose that now has sparks flying in their eyes as they gaze at each other

"Calm d—!"

Before the Chief can even finish her words, she turned to look at the distance with her eyes squinting and it didn't take that long before the tribesmen heard a familiar sound

Awoooo!!!!

The sound of wolves howling along with their footsteps entered everyone's ears and their faces turned pale

"I-it's the magic beasts!"

"I-is there a beast tide?"

"Mommy! I don't want to die!"

The tribesmen clamored, most of them fearful. These tribesmen have no problem hunting regularly but they fear a magic beast tide the most

Depending on the size and strength of the beast tide, even a giant tribe that they could only be envious of might be destroyed overnight

A beast tide is the human's worst nightmare in the Savage Beast Realm

"Set aside your differences! Get ready to fight! We have no time to evacuate!" Chief ordered, her hold on her wand tightening

Out of all these people, perhaps, Rezen is the one that is the most worried. While the tribesmen might not have enough power to get through this beast tide, they could at least use magic unlike him!

This situation causes Rezen to unconsciously hold the pouch on his waist. It was the only thing he could resort to if there was a time that his life was plunged into danger without anyone else helping him

He could only hope that the situation wouldn't force him to use the thing inside his pouch as he has limited resources

Rezen cannot venture out yet to search for his own materials and he could only rely on the tribesmen but even their capabilities are limited

This situation left a bad taste in Rezen's mouth. He really hates being powerless. His life and death couldn't even be decided by himself

"Rezen, let's go! We must join the other tribesmen. With enough numbers, we would be safe!" Jenna said as if she was trying to convince herself but based on her facial reactions it doesn't seem to be working

As a powerless person, Rezen doesn't need to be told twice and he went with Jenna to join the others

It seems like magic beasts attacks are really common as the tribesmen automatically made a formation that protects the children that cannot use magic yet

As for the old and the disabled ones... they are sent outside of the formation. When the magic beasts arrive, they are the ones that would definitely die first

Fortunately, as the tribe's healer, Rezen was also placed inside the circular formation where the apprentice mages could protect him

The others knew that Rezen is still 'injured' and can't use magic yet. Not to mention, he doesn't even have a single Resonance Gem

If he was a Junior Mage, he does not need the gem but clearly, he was not

After just a couple of minutes, the magic beasts already came into the tribesmen's view

"Double-headed Black Wolf!" A woman near Rezen mumbled the name of the magic beasts that arrived, her face grimacing

These magic beasts are not overly powerful species of magic beasts but they live in a pack and they don't attack their targets alone. Aside from that, these wolves also have two lives

If the wolf was killed once, one of its heads would die but the other head would still remain alive and even become stronger as a result

Unless a mage could completely obliterate these wolves in a single attack, they would have to kill them twice before they truly die. They are such tricky creatures!

"Both of you behave well if you don't want the tribe to vanish!" The Chief said sternly while looking at Stone Head and Big Nose with threatening eyes

No matter what their differences and hatred are, they must first ensure that they would survive today!

The Chief made a move first. A circular transparent barrier covered her from head to toe as she flicked her wand and three small transparent balls formed

These balls looked similar to the Chief's barrier, albeit they are much smaller. With a wave of her wand, the three orbs of barrier flew quickly in the air

Crash!! Spukk!!

The barrier orbs hit three wolves on their heads, crashing them as a result. Three heads were turned into bloody meat pulp that splattered around and dirtied the surroundings

Since these wolves are just beastlings, a Junior Mage could effortlessly kill them

However, the wolves' special characteristics showed themselves. The wolves that lose one of their lives grew slightly bigger and their power increases by a significant margin

Gruuggg!!!

The wolves continue and three of them moved faster than the others but before they could reach the tribe, the Chief controlled her barrier orbs again and the same thing happened

Splash!!

Three more heads exploded like a watermelon after the barrier orbs collided with them

With these wolves dying twice, they are now truly dead

Unfortunately, compared to the number of wolves that is still increasing, three wolves might be nothing much

It was at this moment that both Stone Head and Big Nose dashed toward the hoard of magic beasts

The mana from their elixir field covered them from head to toe, increasing their physical abilities

Bang! Bang!

Unlike the Chief, these two men are more brutal. They covered with fists with the power of the water element and bashed the skulls of the wolves

A beastling is no match for a Junior Mage and their heads exploded without much resistance

Blood and bits of flesh scattered around, some even landing on the body and face of the two but a gore scene is something that they are already used to and they simply continue

The remaining tribesmen also weren't idle as the apprentice mages activated their Resonance Gems that floated in front of them

All of their Resonance Gems are of the water element and they condensed magic circles in front of them that releases a stream of watery energies

"[Water Stream]"

The tribesmen released the simplest of spells and tens of stream spells flew in the air, hitting the wolves, and killing some of them

In a one-on-one battle, a mage would find it hard to kill a magic beast at the same level but in a group battle, it was easier

They could spam their spells and some of it would definitely hit the magic beasts and kill a number of them

Unfortunately, things escalated quickly. A wolf with an aura significantly stronger than the beastlings appeared

This wolf leaped in the air and when it landed, the ground seems to have eaten it as the wolf passes through it

When the wolf appeared again, it was already in front of an apprentice mage

"Arrrghhh!!!"

The poor apprentice mage gained three long wounds on his body. The wolf's claw was extremely sharp, not only did it rip the flesh of the apprentice mage, even his internal organs were not left unscathed

With just a single attack, one of the tribesmen died without being able to offer much resistance

"No!" Another person cried out in fear and grief as they watch their family die

The only fortunate thing was that before the wolf could kill another person again, the Chief already made her move

One of the barrier orbs flew and landed on the wolf's body but instead of killing it, the orb instead expanded and trapped the wolf inside

This wolf is also at the Junior Rank and it is more troublesome to kill it

Instead of trying to go for the kill immediately, Chief trapped the wolf inside her barrier before she threw the barrier away from the tribesmen
