In this resource point, there are actually not that many Senior Beasts. The reason why the human mages were unable to wipe out the magic beasts was because of the countless Junior beasts.

Granted, the Junior beasts have limited strength, and Senior Mages can easily kill them; sometimes, quantity can create qualitative changes!

It would take a very long time for the Senior Mages to kill all of these Junior magic beasts, and while they do that, the Senior beasts wouldn't stand idly.

Even if the strength of the weaker beasts is not much, they win in numbers. They can still occupy the human mages and give time to the stronger magic beasts to launch attacks.

As such, the two sides were in a stalemate, yet it seems like that would change soon.

With Rezen's relentless effort, the number of Junior Beasts starts to dwindle. Even just waving his hand and throwing the modified Ghost Berries in the air has become tiring after doing it an uncountable number of times.

Still, he has no choice but to continue. Fortunately, he doesn't need to care about defense. Elder Priss, along with the other mages in the camp, was standing guard and ensuring that none of the magic beasts would be able to approach him close enough to harm him.

In the end, after an entire day of fighting, all that was left on the battlefield were the dead carcasses of the magic beasts forming large mounds.

Nothing can be sniffed in the air aside from the scent of blood. As far as the eyes could see, it was red.

With such a large number of dead magic beasts, even cleaning the corpses would take a considerable amount of time, but it still has to be done.

If they just leave the corpses here, they would rot, and an epidemic might even spread.

"Excellent!"

"Dead! These damn beasts are finally all dead!"

"It was all thanks to that Young Master"

"Yes, we owe him our lives!"

"I didn't expect that in just a single day, we would be able to wipe out all of the magic beasts!"

"But what about those ghost-like magic beasts? Do we need to kill them? Would they revert back to normal?"

All the mages in the camp were beaming with smiles. Finally, after fighting for a long time, they are finally able to wipe out all these magic beasts.

Elder Priss made a major contribution to today's victory as most of the Senior Beasts fell at her hands, but the even more impressive one was Rezen.

He was able to remove the magic beasts' advantage in numbers, that were giving them a headache.

One skull, one magic beast would become their allies. Such formidable ability! They had never seen someone do what Rezen did today!

"These corrupted magic beasts would exist for months, and they would only completely die if I don't feed them the special grass," Rezen said to Elder Priss while taking out a few blades of black grass from his farm.

"We can continue using them to fight our battles and lessen our casualties" he continued.

The magic beasts have always had the advantage when it comes to numbers. But now, with his modified Ghost Berries, the number advantage could instead slowly tilt to the human's side.

After finishing some arrangements for the corrupted magic beasts, Rezen and Elder Priss didn't stay long, and they rode on their flying sticks once more.

—-

Three months later.

"Haaaa... finally, the peak of the Junior Rank. After a little bit more accumulation, I could enter the Teramis Cultivation Pool and attempt to reach the Senior Rank"

After just a few months, Rezen progressed fast and reached the ninth cycle of the Junior Rank, technically putting him at the peak of the Junior Rank.

He experienced a lot of things, and soon, he would finally reach a level where he had some power.

If a Junior Mage is an ant in this world, Senior Mages, on the other hand, are wild beasts. While they are not at the top of the food chain, they were almost there already!

After finishing this round of cultivation, Rezen finally went out of the cultivation that housed an array that increases the mana level, helping a mage have twice the progress with half the effort.

Currently, Rezen is living inside the core walls. More specifically, he is staying at Elder Priss's residence.

His status as a person of Elder Priss changed a lot of things. Whether it be cultivation resources, rooms, or servants, he had it all.

It was as if he suddenly became a rich second-generation Young Master. With such an abundance of resources, if he still couldn't progress fast, it would really shame all the treasures he had used.

As soon as Rezen went outside the cultivation room, there were already rows of servants waiting for him.

"Young Master, congratulations on your breakthrough! You will definitely become a Senior Mage soon. With your help, humanity would soon defeat the magic beasts!" One of the servants congratulated him, authentically happy for Rezen's breakthrough.

He was not acting happy simply because he was a servant assigned to Rezen, and he needed to please him. No, that was not the case:

He was genuinely happy for Rezen. After all, it was no secret to the people living in the City of Hope that he was the reason why humanity's situation was slowly getting better.

The modified Ghost Berries, only he can create thanks to his 'Innate Magic', have brought endless relief and help to humanity.

Rezen does not need to personally use the Ghost Berries. As spirit plants grown on his farm, as long as the berries corrupted a magic beast, they would be at his command regardless of who used the berry.

As such, he can simply supply the berries to the mages and let them do the work for him. In the past few months, aside from constantly planting the modified Ghost Berries and the Dark Vismian Grass to supply to the mages, all of Rezen's time was used to cultivate.

As of the moment, countless humans are waiting for him to reach the Senior Rank, as word was that as long as he became a Senior Mage, his 'Innate Magic' can slowly grow stronger.

If nourished enough, he could create berries that could corrupt Senior Mages.

If such a thing happened, humanity would undoubtedly win the war soon. After all, in terms of fighting power, the Guardian of Humanity was stronger compared to the Sage of Humanity.

The only reason the Guardian was not able to kill the Sage was that the latter was extremely cunning and slippery. Not to mention, the superior number of Senior Beasts always hindered him.

Even if he can kill such beasts with a single slap, that little bit of delay is still enough for the Sage to flee successfully.

As such, who in the humanity's side doesn't want Rezen to advance and become a Senior Mage?

Even the arrogant Council of Elders despite doubting that Rezen could soon corrupt Senior Beasts were also waiting tonsee if he can really do that.

"Thank you everyone" Rezen said politely to all the servants flattering him.

"Once the Guardian is not busy anymore, he would definitely meet and reward you for your continius contribution to humanity!" Yet another one servant said.

When talking about the Guardian, she was extremely reverent and for a reason. It was only because of the Guardian that humans were able to create a city and carve a place for thenselves.

The Guardian was the light of hope of humanity in this realm. There are few people that doesn't admire him.

"I'm simply doing my duty," Rezen replied with a chuckle, yet he was actually also anticipating ehat reward the Guardian will give him.

Even now that it has been three months since Rezen started living inside the core walls, he has never met the Guardian personally.

While he didn't grow up in this realm and was not as reverent to the Guardian as most people, he still admired that mage and respected him.

After all, despite the fact that he never met the Guardian personally, he indirectly received a huge help from him.

Whether it be the Sun Holy Water or the nameless potion he obtained from the Guardian, both were extremely helpful for him. A huge part of the reason why he is now a 9th-cycle Junior Mage was thanks to the help he received from the Guardian.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't looking forward to meeting him. And of course, he was also anticipating receiving top-tier treasures from him.

After all, no matter what, Elder Priss is still just a Senior Mage, or that is the only level of power she could use, while the Guardian is a Great Mage

Typically, the stronger you are, the more treasure you can secure. Even just a percent of such a mage's wealth would be enough to make anyone happy!
