The twins deluded themselves into thinking that they were the blessed child of the heaven, destined to achieve greatness

In that aspect, even Stone Head was better than them. While the fortune aura he received from the Savage Beast Realm is only maybe enough for the Waterside Tribe to be the strongest out of the several nearby tribes, that is the limit of his fortune aura. His fortune aura was far from enough to give him the ability to turn his tribe into a big tribe

"Brother, can't we just use that jade? Aside from teaching us how to write and read, the crystal ball also told us that the jade is special and could increase our rank instantly!" Collosam replied as studying magic with the help of the book was extremely hard

In fact, if not for the fortuitous encounter that they had, they might not even reach the Junior Rank their whole life

"Absolutely not! The crystal ball told us that the jade should only be used when we reached the 3rd cycle of blessing! Once we reached the 3rd cycle, with the help of the jade, we would instantly reach the 5th cycle! When that time comes, even if we were to fight more than ten mages at once, we would still emerge victorious!"

"The Junior Mages of each tribe are only at the 1st or 2nd cycle. If we reach the 3rd cycle, we don't need to fear them even if they join hands. And if we reach the 5th cycle, they would be nothing but ants in front of our power!"

Collosam's older brother - Titane absolutely refuses. Out of the two, he was obviously smarter

"Fine! Fine! I understand! No need to nag at me!" Collosam gave up while rolling his eyes

Without a choice, he could only start studying the mysteries of magic again but now that they are now Junior Mages, grasping the appropriate knowledge at their level is way harder than when they were just mere magic apprentices

As the two busied themselves in the study of magic, their senses as Junior Mages suddenly picked up several magic fluctuations even before they heard the screams of their tribesmen

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Aahhh!!!!"

"Help! Help! My wife!"

"Mama!!"

The miserable cries for help of their tribesmen promoted Titane and Collosam to move. They were about to walk out of their hut when their home was suddenly destroyed by the fire that consumed it

"Burn! Let my fire burn you all metal bastards! HAHAHAHA!"

Along with the destruction of their home, the twins heard a maniacal laughter

——

As soon as Stone Head returned from his today's hunt, he was briefed on the situation

The tribal people showed great efficiency since they don't have the concept of formality

If this was a place with organized culture, they wouldn't be able to move this fast. The 'higher ups' would most likely start a long meeting to discuss various things like how many mages they would send, what the plans would be, how to divide the spoils of war etc.

However, these people only decided on one thing. They are to set off and annihilate the Metal Sword Tribe!

"If all these tribes joined hands and form a single tribe, at the very least, none of their family would die from hunger" Rezen thought as he watched the Junior Mages steamroll the magic beasts that they encountered

The level of mana of a place dictates the level of Spirit Plants, magic beasts, and mages that would appear on it

Due to the mana level of this part of the forest, most Spirit Plants are at the 1st cycle of Junior Rank with those at the 2nd cycle rare, and the 3rd cycle even rarer. As for Spirit Plants at the 4th cycle and above, it was almost impossible to encounter them in this area. And since the Spirit Plants are like this, the mages and magic beasts are also the same, they are Junior Mages or Apprentice Mages and Junior Beasts and Beastlings

Generally, high ranking Mages, Spirit Plants, and Magic Beasts would live in places with a high mana concentration

Since there are eight Junior Mages present, even if they encounter one or two magic beasts of the same rank at once, they could kill those magic beasts with ease

There is a difference between two Junior Mages moving separately and two Junior Mages that are cooperating with each other much less when the number of cooperating Junior Mages reaches eight!

This is the safest time that Rezen was in ever since he entered this realm since he is currently under the protection of eight Junior Mages along with more than twenty magic apprentices since every tribe sent four or five magic apprentices

But soon, this kind of safe environment would definitely change as they would be fighting against a tribe with five Junior Mages

It didn't take that long before their group reached the turf of the Metal Sword Tribe and what happened next was completely within the expectations of everyone

"Burn! Let my fire burn you all metal bastards! HAHAHAHA!"

The excited madman immediately charged at the Metal Sword Tribe. On his palm, fire gathered for a moment before he aggressively waved his hand

The fire on his palm expanded and engulfed several huts at once. His move doesn't even end there as he shoots out one flame attack after another until the Metal Sword Tribe was engulfed by his flames

"Who dare attacked our tribe?!" A maddened roar rang around and one of the huts suddenly exploded

From it, the Chief of the Metal Sword Tribe - Sharp Sword was revealed. No matter how weak a Junior Mage is, their senses were still stronger than normal

Since the magic fluctuations were far from being concealed, Sharp Sword could sense what was happening to his tribe

To become the Chief of the tribe, one must be the strongest and generally, only those of the older generation would be the strongest

As such, Sharp Sword is already a man in his late thirties. Because of the life expectancy in this realm, he is already considered as old

He was more than 6 feet in height and his body was very robust just like the other tribal people

"Hahahaha! Old fucker Sharp Sword, let's fight!"

The Chief of the Metal Sword Tribe is a mage in the 2nd cycle of the Junior Rank and amongst the eight Junior Mages of the other side, only two of them were at the same rank. They are Chief of the Waterside Tribe and Flamaz of the Fire Force Tribe

Considering that Chief is already extremely old, it was more appropriate for Flamaz to fight the Chief

Flamaz charged at Sharp Sword but he didn't approach too closely and he still maintained a proper distance

Flames burned on Flamaz's hands as he sent crimson flames toward Sharp Sword

In exchange, Sharp Sword slammed his foot on the ground and a wall of metal rose

After that, Sharp Sword suddenly jumped, and while in the air, his right hand suddenly turned gray in color as it turned into metal

He aggressively stretched his hand out in the direction of Flamaz and his 'hand' suddenly grew longer

Crash!

The long metal chunk that expanded from Sharp Sword's hand tried to kill Flamaz but it missed its target and it was the innocent ground that received the brunt of his attack

Flamaz has moved to the side to dodge before putting more distance between himself and his opponent

"Aahh!!! You killed my family! I wouldn't forgive you!"

Suddenly, another enrage voice rang as Collosam charged at Flamaz. His whole body was gray in color as if his skin and hair turned into hard metal

Every step he took cracked the ground beneath him as he madly charged at Flamaz

"Wait!" His brother called out but it was already too late

"[Guardian's Fury!]" a cold voice suddenly said

As Stone Head was given more than enough time to cast a magic spell, he didn't hesitate to do so. After all, although his side has an advantage of three more Junior Mages, they might still suffer some casualties

At the very least, Stone Head doesn't want himself and the Chief to become a casualty as they are greatly needed by the tribe

A set of aquatic armor covered the entirety of Stone Head's body. The armor was translucent as if water was automatically clinging to his body

This type of spell was of a supportive type that increases Stone Head's overall physical stars

With the help of a proper magic simple, Stone Head managed to reach Collosam before the man could hurt Flamaz

"Haaa!!"

Stone Head uses his clenched fist to punch his target. Since Collosam was focused on his target; Flamaz, he was unable to react and dodge

Not to mention, he was a newly ascended Junior Mage. Against someone that casts a magic spell, how could simple magic possibly work?

The outcome was totally expected as Stone Head's fist landed on Collosam's face and the punch sent him flying
