159 Taking revenge? (1/2)

He jumped down the tree as the duo turned towards him after hearing the noise. They looked like they had recovered from the internal injuries. Both their faces contained hostility towards Ozul as they glared at him.

Their intense hatred was also the reason that Ozul had woken up early. He couldn't ignore such hard feelings thrown directly at him.

Clara couldn't sleep all night. She did not need to sleep in the first place, so she just meditated on the tree branch. Her eyes opened when she felt the disturbed Mana in the air.

Cyril and Mark had discussed what they wanted to do already. Even if Ozul did not wake up now, they would have gone directly for the kill.

In their previous confrontation, they did not have the opportunity to use their strongest attacks against him. They felt that beating him together using their strongest attacks would be as easy as pie. They just had to maintain their distance this time.

Both of them flared their Mana at the same time as the air seemed to freeze around them. Winds stopped because of the sudden pressure before the birds on the trees flew away.

Without explaining or shouting madly as Cyril did before, the duo started to chant simultaneously. Blue and red Mana started to form around the air, creating two beasts in the air.

Once again, both of them had a similar spell, with only their Elements being different. A strange-looking fish with cuts all around its body appeared above Mark, while a hyena appeared above Cyril.

It was as if they had summoned those Beasts. But the applications with Mana were as vast as Mages could think, so this was also a way to shape their Original Spells.

Although they were only ethereal in shape, the Beasts moved around like they had a consciousness of their own.

Unlike how Ozul looked at this scene with indifference, Clara was almost suffocating due to the Spells' sheer pressure from two Rank-8 Mages.

She jumped back a few more meters while worryingly glancing at Ozul. She did not know how strong he was. Just like others, him being a Rank-9 Mage did not make any sense, and if he were any lower, then facing against two Rank-8 Mages at the same time would be disastrous!

”So... you don't want to lead me to your base?” Ozul while slightly tilting his head to the side. Although he could feel the pure anger towards him, he could not know the reason for every feeling.

Knowing others' emotions made Ozul almost understand their thought process, but it was only to a general extent.

”Hmm... whatever,” Ozul shrugged. He did not understand what had gotten into their minds, and he did not want to waste his time trying to find out either. So, all he wanted was to get this over with as quickly as he could.

No matter what they did, Ozul had decided to take them with him. So they had no choice but to be his guide now.

The two Beasts which floated a few meters above the duo suddenly looked on the ground. Precisely at Ozul before diving down with an astonishing speed.

The Beasts were gigantic enough to envelop around a whole building, but they were much more dangerous than they appeared to be. And Clara could feel her legs shake from the aura of these Beasts.

She wanted to help Ozul, but her body just wouldn't move, no matter how much she tried.

Instead of separately attacking Ozul one by one, the two Beasts looked at each other before one sped towards the left while the other to the right.

While the Beasts appeared to be conscious of their own actions, Ozul knew that such was not the case by looking at Cyril and Mark.

They had their attention devoted to the Beasts. Their eyes followed the Beasts' every movement.

Ozul concluded that this Spell did not just summon Beasts to fight for them but created something like Elemental Golems, which they could control from a distance.

As the fish and the hyena attacked Ozul from each side, he generated a giant blade with the Ball of Purity and cut them before they could even come near him.

He expected it to end right there, but contrary to his expectations, the Beasts did not dissipate when cut in half. Instead, their lost part of Mana just regenerated before they jumped right at Ozul.

Without any other choice, Ozul had to create a shield around him with the Ball of Purity.

*Booom*

The two Beasts hit the shield, which created an ear-splitting blast, razing the ground around Ozul. One side had the ground cracked with the fire burning on the ground, while the other side had everything damped.

The only similarity on both sides was the pure destruction that the Beasts had caused.

Ozul remained there unperturbed at this. The Ball of Purity had absorbed all the shock. Only the winds had reached him.
