Despite the fact that the Guardian was stronger compared to the Sage of the magic beasts, his strength is still not enough to completely dominate the other. As such, after getting hit by a 'charged' attack, the Guardian coughed out a fresh mouthful of blood. His aura was in disarray and he definitely wouldn't be able to recover in a short period of time
"It is now time to end the feud between our races. For the sake of the magic beasts, DIE!"
A voice at the other end of the crimson gate said and the gate shook again as if another powerful strength was about to be unleashed
Fortunately, the only surviving mage originally guarding the rear was fast and intelligent enough. Despite the fact that she was heavily injured, Elder Priss was still able to do one thing to help the Guardian
With a weak wave of her hand, a wave of pink fog was unleashed and swallowed the crimson gate. To her delight, the crimson gate was not hard to destroy and it was fragile from external power. In fact, Elder Priss was able to sense that the crimson gate didn't even need a Senior Mage to destroy it. Even those at the peak of the Junior Rank have enough power to destroy it
Just like that, Elder Priss was able to easily shatter the crimson gate, leaving the Sage no means to attack the Guardian again
Before the crimson gate fully dissipated, a deep sigh can be heard from it
"This isn't the end yet. Soon, us, magic beasts will fully dominate the realm!" The voice said and the crimson gate vanished
However, despite the fact that the worst thing was prevented, this is only the start of humanity's nightmare
Let's forget the fact that the construction of the important sector of the city walls was destroyed and the many mages at the rear died. That wasn't as important as the fact that the Guardian of humanity has been injured!Not to mention, the magic beasts gained a new method of attack which was hard to defend against
The crimson gate... if the magic beasts could easily create them then... just the thought of it makes the humans shudder
With the protection of the outer, inner, and core walls of the City of Hope, they were able to repel the magic beasts every time they attacked. However, what if the magic beasts can now bypass the city walls and enter the city whenever they can?
That would signal the start of the end of humanity!

"Please succeed..." Rezen muttered to himself while staring at the door of Alchemist Fuchk's alchemy roomThe appearance of the crimson gate gave him a bad premonition making him even more anxious to increase his strength. Junior Mages like him that is not even at the peak of the rank were dispensable.
"Thank you Master Fuchk! I will definitely repay you for this potion!" Rezen said while also in the same excited state
Rezen himself is an alchemist but he could only brew the common potions in the market. His skills are far from enough to brew the Potential Explosion Potion even if he were given a thousand sets of ingredients
Ingredients are not a problem for him as he can grow them on his farm as long as he has the seeds or at least one piece of any spirit plant. However, skills are also important
There are times that without a specific level of skill, even if an alchemist was to be given an unlimited amount of ingredients, they would still not succeed
For this kind of potion, Rezen can only commission a more skilled alchemist to brew it for him. Of course, the talent fee of such an alchemist is high considering the difficulty of brewing such a potion
"Hahahaha! No need! No need to pay me! Just the experience of creating the Potential Explosion Potion is already enough compensation for me! Before this, I was barely able to try concocting this potion twenty times and I only succeeded twice.
But you have given me five sets of ingredients at once and with successive tries, I am confident that my success rate of concocting the Potential Explosion Potion has risen significantly. For me, that is the biggest compensation! Hahahaha!"
For someone who is obsessed with alchemy like Alchemist Fuchk, they might not be moved with money but if it was something that will increase their skills in alchemy or at the very least will give them experience in concocting potions that they normally don't have a chance to concoct, it will definitely move them
Just like how Alchemist Fuchk easily agreed with Rezen's request to concoct the Potential Explosion Potion. If it was any other alchemist, especially those that are greedy, they definitely wouldn't agree without proper compensation
Fortunately, Fuchk is an obsessed freak when it comes to alchemy. The experience and improvement he had when concocting the potion was enough compensation for him
After all, the ingredients of this potion are really rare and even Alchemist Fuchk cannot waste his money on them since there are a lot more potions that he could create
Fortunately, Rezen encountered some more blessed of the heaven and earth when scavenging for resources that enabled him to find precious and rare spirit plants. Coincidentally, he had all the ingredients for the Potential Explosion Potion
"Still, I definitely would repay you in the future!" Rezen insisted as Alchemist Fuchk handed the potion to him and he could not wait to consume it
Normally, this kind of potion would immediately elevate his rank by a small realm but even if it does not, its real strength still lies in the increased cultivation speed that few resources in the world can match!
He's getting closer to reaching the high cycle of the Junior Rank and he can't wait to further increase his strength
