Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Stealing Fortune Aura Again (2)
"That worm is dangerous, it should be killed immediately!"
Those words entered the ears of the mages near the magic beast that contained fortune aura. As such, many turned their gazes at it with their eyes harboring murderous thoughts
In this low-level battlefield, no magic beasts have enough intelligence to communicate with humans. As such, none of the mages ever think that the voice that entered their ears came from a magic beast
While it was not hard to use the wind to create sounds that are no different than a human speaking, such a feat required enough intelligence. A level of intelligence that none of the magic beasts present has
As such, the human mages didn't find the voice suspicious. They simply thought that one of their comrades was warning them so that they would be able to win the battle
Even if the owner of the voice was malicious so what? Whether that magic beast is dangerous or not, they still have to kill it whether they like it or not!
All the magic beasts that are attacking them should die! None of them should be left alive
Not to mention, the stomach of that magic beast was clearly bulging. It must have eaten a lot of humans in a short period of time. This gave the humans a huge sense of rage for that specific worm and many of them charged at it
However, the fortune aura of the magic beast showed its effects. 'Coincidentally', many worm-type magic beasts suddenly sprouted from the ground to launch a sneak attack
Many human mages are either directly eaten by these worms or they were seriously injured with some of them being killed by the other magic beasts after they are injured
"Such is the effects of the fortune aura" Rezen thought while shaking his head. He knew that it wouldn't be easy to kill a heavens' blessed but to think that this many would die after just attempting to kill that worm
"Still, with that many people trying to kill the worm just to get killed by other magic beasts, the fortune aura of that beast should have lessened significantly..." Rezen thought before he waved his hand to incinerate a 3rd cycle magic beast that attacked him
Even if he has his attention on the situation with the heavens' blessed, he still makes sure to not let his guard down against any other magic beasts
"These worm-type magic beasts are spiking our death toll. Those that excel in earth-type magic, please use your magic to harden the ground! In this way, even if they can sneak attack on us, we will have enough time to react!"
Rezen used wind magic again to transmit his ideas to the other mages. This time, the voice was not only heard by the mages near the heavens' blessed but also on the other parts of the battlefield
Many have fallen prey to these worms and many have witnessed those deaths. As such, they didn't doubt Rezen's words at all
Without any hesitation, many mages did as they were told and they further solidified the ground. This solidification is not enough to completely prevent the works from surfacing on the ground but at the very least, they would have more time to react
The deadliest aspect of these worms was their ability to launch sneak attacks. Once that was gone, they would become ordinary magic beasts
With Rezen's help, the death toll on the humanity's side lessened and the situation has become a bit better
Naturally, this also causes the situation of the heavens' blessed magic beast to worsen as the human mages launch their attacks again
However, the mages were still hindered. There are times when high level Junior Beasts suddenly turn their attention on the mages that planned to attack the heavens' blessed or a 'coincidence' will happen that would cause a high ranking Junior Mage to throw a high ranking Junior Beast near the heavens' blessed
Luck itself is helping the bearer of the heavens' blessed but it was simply not enough
"Fortunately, this magic beast is also only at the 6th cycle. As such, the rate at which its fortune aura is being depleted is quick" Rezen thought with a smile
The weaker the heavens' blessed are, the more fortune aura will be spent to save them from the same level of enemies. With this many mages trying to kill it, it didn't take that long before its fortune aura dwindled
"While troublesome, fortune aura is not omnipotent. After all, not all fortune aura will be used to save it. Some is reserved for its talent or some is reserved for fortuitous encounters"
Fortune aura is a thing that helps the heavens' blessed reach a certain realm. Naturally, it wouldn't all be used to save that creature's life. Not to mention, fortune aura does not have intelligence and works passively
Even if a person has a high luck, there are still times when they will lose in gambling. It's simply a matter of luck, having a higher chance of winning, and not flipping probability to turn a 1% chance of winning to a full 100% chance of victory. If that is the case then the fortune aura will become omnipotent
"Inform me if I can finally plunder its fortune aura" Rezen said to Ivy as he maintained a not so distant yet also not too near distance from the heavens' blessed
"Still, it's really slimy" Rezen muttered to himself as despite being attacked by several mages, the magic beast still didn't die. Rezen was forced to make a move again
"[Sun Arrow!]" Rezen formed another magic circle to cast a magic spell. His target is naturally not the heavens' blessed as he feared the retaliation from the fortune aura
Just how many human mages have died that are at the same level or above that magic beast? Rezen is not yet powerful enough to ignore this potent fortune aura
What Rezen targeted is instead an 8th cycle magic beast. Of course, his power wouldn't be enough to kill it but it was not his goal at all
The sun arrow made a yellow trajectory in the air and it actually successfully landed on its target
"Awooo!!" The wolf-type magic beast that was Rezen's target howled in pain. Originally, as an 8th cycle Junior Beast, it has enough power to slap Rezen's magic without being harmed
However, this magic beast was stuck in a deadlock with an 8th cycle Junior Mage. It didn't have enough energy and attention to spare to others
Not to mention, Rezen also used the wind to give his intention to that 8th cycle mage. As such, the mage didn't give the magic beast a chance to dodge Rezen's attack
This trick wouldn't work on magic beasts that has intelligence as they can hear what Rezen said to the human mage. Fortunately, all the magic beasts here are mindless beasts. As such, it falls prey to Rezen's cheap tricks
While an 8th cycle mage can block Rezen's attack it doesn't mean that they would be left unscathed if they let the attack land on their bodies. They are still beings of flesh and blood that do not have immunity to magic spells below their realm
Not to mention, it was even a magic spell that landed on its body and not just a simple magic!
The injuries this magic beast sustained might not be life threatening but it was still pretty serious. In this situation, it might even be life threatening as it was still fighting a mage at the same level as it
Not to mention, Rezen even targeted one of the wolf's legs, impeding its movements and causing blood to constantly flow from its wounds
The more time that passed, the more the injuries of this magic beast will become. Not to mention, the human mage will definitely give it more injuries
With the proximity of these two with the heavens' blessed, it wouldn't be surprising if after killing this magic beast, the human mage would turn its attention to the heavens' blessed
This is Rezen's plan! If the number of human mages is not enough to kill the heavens' blessed, then he will do things to increase their numbers!
It was as simple as that!
Rezen doesn't plan on targeting the heavens' blessed directly as that would cause retaliation from the fortune aura. However, he can still attack the magic beasts near it to give the others more chance to kill it
"Let's see how long can you last" Rezen thought coldly as his eyes constantly monitored the surroundings of that heavens' blessed, searching for a chance where he could help
While his own power is not significant enough to make a huge contribution, his intelligence is different. At least, at this level, his brain can still be plenty useful than his own magical prowess
The battle between the two sides of the humans and magic beasts continued. No matter what the outcome is, it wouldn't affect the bigger picture much but none was willing to lose
