Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

"Alucard, here!"

"Two bubbles here too! Just need a slight opening to kill this 2nd-grade Putrid Rat!

Zevien was aiding other magicians by releasing Blackout Bubbles on powerful magic beasts. Shuma was also focusing on killing the giant rhino-like magic beasts instead of attacking the portal. The fight there was close, but many other 2nd-class and 3rd-class magicians had entered inside the barrier to help him because there were also a lot of other magic beasts trapped inside.

Those magic beasts were troubling Shuma as well, so he was able to fight properly after receiving aid.

However, many beasts were still attacking the barrier. 'Hurry up, reinforcements!' City Lord Ray thought while continuously pouring mana to maintain his giant Heavenly Ward barrier.

Zevien was using Brilliant Burn and Blackout Bubble to support other magicians kill strong magic beasts of 2nd and 3rd grade. He was doing it continuously for a while and already used up two mana stones.

"REINFORCEMENT IS HERE!" A loud shout reverberated as several powerful auras came flying towards them. At the very front were two 1st class magicians and several 2nd class magicians.

"Phew…," Zevien sighed a relief since, with this much force, they would be able to wrap this up.

Suddenly, another giant barrier appeared over the barrier that City Lord Ray produced.

"Ray, leave the containment to me," said a busty woman wearing an elegant white dress. She looked in her early thirties and had a veil that covered half of her face while her light blue hair tied behind her waved gently.

"Thanks, miss Saren," City Lord Ray nodded with a worn-out face and deactivated his barrier before flying forward and searching if there were any living people alive that he trapped with his barrier. He felt guilty, but he had no other choice. If he didn't put up a barrier, more people would have died from catastrophic attacks from those 1st-grade magic beasts.

"Get away, Shuma! I am going to shatter that fatass to death!" A burly man with a thick gray beard and mustache shouted as he took out his weapon. A palm-sized hammer, Sky Shattering Hammer!

The palm-sized hammer quickly got bigger in his hand as he poured mana. In the end, it became a hundred meters large giant hammer as the burly man was entirely red due to exerting all of his strength.

"This beast is too thick, Bheema! Even its eyes!" Shuma frowned, "when it charges its body with its power and glows, it can also travel quickly and destroy anything in its path. Thanks to it, some magic beasts were killed but If this bastard was released outside, it would have caused a disaster."

"Don't worry, I got this!" Bheema, one of the strongest 1st class magicians in the Gaia continent spoke with a savage expression and used a combo attack of two tier-5 magic spells. 'Weight Displacement Doom, Mass Chaos Trigger!'

"Saren! Barrier!" Bheema shouted before attacking.

Saren saw Bheema going for his signature attack and quickly waved her hand to create another barrier that trapped Rhino and Bheema inside a single barrier to prevent his attack from implicating a larger area and other magicians.

"Ray, conjure another barrier over my barrier. I wouldn't be able to contain Bheema's attack alone since I am also handling this big barrier."

Ray nodded and quickly conjured another barrier before a loud sound reverberated.

*Phaaat! Zoom!*

The air cracked with a loud sonic boom as the sound barrier shattered due to Bheema descending towards the Rhino at breakneck speed! His flesh was literally shattering and bones cracking, but he didn't care! A maniacal expression filled with anger was all his face displayed as he targeted the giant magic beast.

*Smash! Boom!*

The giant hammer smashed down on the Rhino in the next second and shattered it into pieces. Both Saren's and Ray's barriers were destroyed, but they managed to contain the impact.

"Fuck…," Zevien and other magicians looked on with dumbfounded expressions as they saw the giant Rhino-like magic beast with the toughest hide covering its body shattering into a bloody mess with its internals exploding everywhere.

Two 2nd class magicians quickly arrived toward Bheema and healed him while Bheema also chugged down a potion before shouting with a ferocious expression, "it's not over yet! Kill every single beast!"

…

After thirty minutes, the magicians cleared all beasts from the entire city.

The big shots scanned the entire city and didn't let a single roaming beast live. Zevien also went to clean some magic beasts roaming in the city but left sneakily and entered his company's bunker after reverting to his normal human form: A regular student studying in the academy.

"What is the situation outside?" Vernisia quickly asked.

"It's safe now," Zevien sighed. "But many people still died…," he clenched his fist in anger at the cruelty of whoever activated that crystal in the city.

*Ding!*

Zevien received a message from Yowen and looked at him by craning his neck. Yowen was at the center of the bunker with executives and members of the company along with other civilians.

Vernisia, Erica, and Dan were at the end of the bunker after Zevien entered inside to talk with him.

[Should I open the bunker?]

Zevien read the message and nodded at him.

Afterward, Yowen announced to everyone about the good news and left the bunker with everyone.

Zevien, Vernisia, Erica, and Dan also left the bunker and moved towards the bunker where mother Helena and the kids were staying.

"How about your parents?" Zevien asked.

"They are safe," Vernisia and Erica nodded.

"Well, my parents are living in a village," Dan said with a wry smile, "that place is safest since it is hidden and because of our village chief and his guardian beast."

"Both of them are comparable to 1st class magicians," Erica said with a nod as she knew about them.

…

When they arrived at the bunker, it was already open. People were leaving and returning to their houses. Zevien saw mother Helena and the kids leaving the bunker at the end and rushed towards them.

"Big brother!"

The kids saw Zevien and quickly ran towards him with joy and relief in their eyes to see their big brother.

"Good job staying brave, little imps," Zevien smiled.

Mother Helena also sighed a relief after seeing Zevien and his friends safe.
