Chapter 23: Flare Burning, Shocking the Entire Scene

Andrew watched calmly as the Cyclops accumulated his innate magic. He sneered inwardly.

‘Do you think I will allow you to outline runes?’

The time needed for the magical beast’s innate magic to be cast was extremely short, but Andrew’s spell casting is faster! In a flash, he unleashed a dozen blazing sun fireballs that quickly rushed towards the Cyclops’ eye and caused a huge explosion.

The blazing sun fireballs were extremely high-level spells in the intermediate mage realm. The Cyclops even gave up his protection to cast the spell. With one careless move, his eyeball was severely injured! Much of the crystalline eye’s structure was charred black, exploding into pieces and hurtling through the air. The magical beast also held its forehead and wailed in pain.

Even so, the Cyclops still did not change its ferocious nature. He rushed towards Andrew as if he wanted to tear this little bug that had hurt him into pieces! However, for Andrew, the second or two it took for the Cyclops to cover his eye and howl in pain was enough for him to unleash his next spell.

‘Flame release, high-energy shaped fireball, red lotus fire.’

Andrew unleashed three more intermediate spells and they flew quickly towards the Cyclops. The Cyclops had managed to survive, and had even gone berserk! Even though his body was badly scorched by the flames and smelled burnt, the Cyclops was still managing to charge viciously at Andrew. However, what he was facing was an extremely tough whip made of flames!

The whip of flames was a spell that even Andrew felt was of little value. An ordinary mage using this spell when they were unable to multitask was purely to cause trouble for themselves. However, Andrew had the blessing of hundredfold talent, so it could be of some use under special circumstances. At this moment, the Cyclops’ old strength was gone, and his new strength had yet to be born. Andrew easily whipped the monster that was a head taller than him to the ground!

‘So that’s it.’

Andrew laughed coldly. As he gathered his fire magic, he wildly swung the whip in his hand. At first, the Cyclops was still howling crazily as he charged forward. However, after taking a few rounds of blows, he was only covered in wounds, his skin and flesh split open, and his white bones were exposed. After a short stalemate, Andrew was still as calm as ever. However, this monster revealed a somewhat terrified wail, and its movements became hesitant.

When the mages at the side saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.

“This is too exaggerated!”

Lanza gulped. Previously, when he fought with Nolan, he knew that Andrew was a powerhouse among advanced mages. Although the Cyclops was judged as an intermediate magical beast, it was so physically fit that some ordinary advanced mages would rather pay the price to get rid of it than fight it. However, this powerful Fellow was able to suppress the Cyclops easily. Moreover, he was using the less powerful and rarely used whip of flame!

“It doesn’t even count as his full strength.”

“With Mr. Smith’s strength, I’m afraid that in the few nearby cities, no mage can be considered his match.”

“That’s right. I feel that even if I were to become an advanced mage one day, I probably wouldn’t be able to defeat him! Such strength is too exaggerated!”

Lanza’s face was filled with shock as he struggled to speak.

“No matter what, our crisis this time has been temporarily resolved.”

“Although the beast tide is gathering, our group can bring this information back to the city. We’ll have some time to prepare.”

The group of mages discussed, preparing to wait for Andrew’s return. Although many parts of the Cyclops could be used to create various magical equipment, they did not feel that Fellow Andrew could kill it. This was because the skin of this magical beast was very thick, and it was impossible to stop it if it wanted to escape.

The situation was indeed like this. After Cyclops was beaten to tears by Andrew, he had the intention of running away. Magical beasts also had a certain level of intelligence. They would not risk their lives when they knew that they had no chance of winning. The Cyclops roared angrily as a mass of lightning energy surfaced from his body.

‘Is he planning to use his greatest spell?’

With a thought, Andrew instantly sent out dozens of blazing sun fireballs. However, what surprised him was that after the lightning energy flowed through his entire body, the magical beast directly used the effect of this spell to sprint towards the back! He was going to escape! Although Andrew wanted to intercept it, the distance at this moment was indeed a little far, beyond the reach of the whip!

‘Then I have to try this spell!’

Andrew narrowed his eyes slightly. With a flip of his palm, an extremely pure flame appeared. Then, with a flick of his finger, this wisp of flame followed the fireballs and rushed towards the Cyclops.

Although the latter had sensed the attack from behind, however, he still did not dodge. In the eyes of this magical beast, this move was not enough to kill him. It was indeed so. The fireballs only counteracted the lightning on his body and did not cause any damage.

However, when the small flame reached his body, the Cyclops seemed to feel that his life was in danger. He cried out loudly. In the next second, the flame rapidly expanded. It turned from a small flame into a monstrous flame and swallowed the entire body of the Cyclops. What was even more ridiculous was that the Cyclops had already fallen to the ground less than three seconds after the flame rose!

“How is this possible?!”

Under the watchful eyes of the mages, the skin and flesh of the magical beast had simply evaporated, leaving only a few bones that slowly withered and disintegrated under the burning flames. In the end, the entire Cyclops was burned into ashes!

“Advanced magic? No, it’s more than that!”

The mages from Rafax City were all dumbstruck. Lanza was mumbling in a trembling voice.

“Could it be…Arcane magic?”

They felt like their minds were about to collapse. The Cyclops, who had been chasing them for quite some time and was known for tenacious vitality and high defense, was killed by this Fellow in one move! And all that was left was a pile of ashes! The difference in strength was too great! Killing a magical beast and burning it to ashes were two completely different concepts! It was a clean crush!

Only now did the mages realize that their previous guess that Andrew was an advanced mage might have been a little too conservative! This was because based on the battle just now, no one could say clearly what the true limits of this Fellow’s strength were!

At this moment, Andrew slowly returned to the middle of the team and looked at the crowd casually.

“It’s already settled.”

The moment he opened his mouth, everyone immediately bowed respectfully to him.

“Mr. Smith, it’s all thanks to you this time.”

The people who had previously been extremely warm towards Andrew were now more reserved. If an advanced mage were still the target they were looking up to, their attitude towards Andrew would be nothing more than respect for a stronger elder, but now they felt differently.

“This Fellow’s strength is simply unfathomable!”

“Even if I break through, I am probably no different from an ant in front of him!”

The mages looked at Andrew with trepidation.. No one dared to show the slightest disrespect!
