The pain from his arm instantly vanished as if it wasn't there in the first place. Even his burnt flesh was restored to normal

As of right now, only four Wind Sparrows remained, and that considerably lessened the pressure on Rezen

He is a mage with many spells in his arsenal. That made Rezen a very flexible mage

However, his spells were only at the peak of 2nd fusion rank. He doesn't have a spell that can overpower all the sparrows with pure might and there is no lack of magic beasts at the same rank as him. A week is also far from enough to make Rezen an expert when it comes to fighting!

He was already thankful that no wind sparrow of the 3rd rank decided to attack him

Now that only four sparrows remained, Rezen is more relaxed than before but even then, his guard was still considerably raised

"Come, come!" Rezen's own fighting intent was ignited. His lightning-type mystic gem flew in front of him and an electric blue magic circle formed

The wind sparrows gathered winds around them. Their bodies twirled and four streaks of horizontal tornadoes were formed

"[Thunder Streaks!]"

Rezen's magic circle lit up, sucking the mana from the surroundings to fuel it up, and soon, four streaks of lightning were released

The lightning casts a blue light around them. Each streak was more than enough to kill a normal adult human

The four sparrows met the lightning streaks. They were momentarily stopped but the tornadoes around their body swelled and grew bigger

Since Rezen was facing four magic beasts at once, his thunder streaks failed to stop them

Out of all paths, the mage path is the mainstream in the past and present. It was more flexible and easier to cultivate but the resulting power was also mediocre

As such, most mages at the peak of their rank must also put in some effort to kill a magic beast at the same rank much less four of them at once

The four sparrows continued to advance and Rezen stared at them coldly

This time, the mystic gem that he called out was his fire-type gem. His eyes glowed a crimson color

"[Flame Breath!]"

The red magic circle that Rezen created released a steady stream of flames

At first, the sparrows tried to disperse the flames but the wind on their bodies fueled the flames

Rezen's hair fluttered in the winds as his arm was completely stretched in front of him while he maintained and strengthened the output of his magic circle

If the flames were too weak, they would simply die out. The flames have to be strong enough if he wants to use the winds around the sparrows as fuel

Fortunately, Rezen's soul is at the 3rd rank already. He might have not upgraded his spells yet they were still strengthened and he succeeded

The flames use the winds as fuel to burn even more strongly than before. Even the sparrows that were inside the tornadoes were burned to death

After they died, Rezen heaved a sigh of relief. He stored their corpses as he hid behind a tree while raising his head to look in the sky

As of right now, the number of sparrows was cut down in half. Rezen wants to harvest the corpses but if he attracts a larger number of wind sparrows, that would be troublesome

A frown formed on Rezen's face as he had the system show him his status window

[Name: Rezen Virion

Rank: 3rd fusion rank mage

Number of subordinates: 11

Mystic gems: 10

-3rd fusion rank gem/s: Crow

-2nd fusion rank gem/s: Sun, Water, Earth, Fire, Lightning, Moon, Wind, Soul, Space

Note: please focus on a specific type of gem to access the list of learned spells]

"Why don't I have a shadow-type gem that is perfect for concealment? Do I even have a concealment spell?"

Rezen ate too many peaches and learned various spells that he cannot even remember all of them

Without a choice, Rezen tried to focus on a specific type of gem for him to access the list of learned spells

The first one was the sun-type gem and just from it alone, he already saw a spell that would help him hide

[Sun-type Spells:

-Sun Stream

-Sun Blast

-Heat Wave

-Light Refraction]

"Light Refraction!" Rezen recalled the information about that spell and he remembered that its use was just like what its name implied

It was a spell that refracts light and through it, a mage can change the color of things or make it so that their target would completely blend in on their surroundings to have an invisibility effect

Of course, it was not perfect. The spell gave off mana signatures. Even a mage at the 1st fusion rank can sense it. But the higher ranking version of this spell could perfectly hide the mana signatures

Rezen is not at that level yet but this should be enough. He only has to prevent himself from being seen by the sparrows since they seem to have gone crazy

With that decided, Rezen cast the [Light Refraction] on himself and he blend in with the surrounding

Unfortunately, the moment that he move, even a normal person can see that something was wrong

The concealment was still at a low level. If Rezen simply stood without moving, his invisibility was perfect but if he move, it would take a bit of time to refract the light so that he could perfectly blend in with his surroundings again

Beggars can't be choosers and Rezen can only use this spell as this was literally the only concealment style spell that he had learned

The mysterious peaches just have too many repeat spells!

Rezen carefully moved around him to store all the corpses of the wind sparrows that he would encounter

Every second that passed, a sparrow would fall from the sky and Rezen would store the body in his storage

With him doing a minimum amount of work, he managed to have a profit of hundreds of corpses

When the sparrows only numbered around a hundred. Rezen stops as he cast a spell

His body can be hidden by the [Light Refraction] but the magic circle is another matter but it doesn't matter since the sparrows were too busy for him

"[Whispher of the Wind]"

The battle between the sparrows causes a commotion. The weaker magic beasts would be scared away but the stronger ones would not

The attention of those stronger magic beasts might even be attracted and be enticed to come

Rezen might look like this but he is not dumb! He is also a smart person!

"Hm?"

Aside from the sparrows in the sky, Rezen's spell also picked up sounds below. They were approaching the area where the sparrows were fighting

There was one that based on the volume of the sound is at the 3rd rank while the other six were all at the 2nd rank

Rezen can still fight them with the help of his recovery pills but it would take time which would be enough for other magic beasts to come here

If there were hundreds of 3rd rank beasts or even just a single 4th rank one, Rezen might be killed on a single shot. That would render his pills useless

He is a greedy person but he also knew that too much greed is dangerous

As such, Rezen decided to flee. Anyway, he already collected at least 800 corpses with ease. That is more than what he could hunt in a single day

Clearly, there was something abnormal with the wind sparrows and Rezen don't want to be caught in the middle of another dangerous scenario with the measly strength that he has now

He came here simply for reconnaissance and he doesn't even have a crow-type spell yet. Taming crows is also not an urgent matter and it can be done on another day

As such, when Crafty Snake and his underlings arrived, all of them have an ashen face

"Where are the corpses?" One of the underlings asked and Crafty snake hit him on the head

"Who are you asking?! All of us just arrived here!" Crafty Snake said angrily

They were expecting an area riddled with sparrow corpses everywhere but that wasn't the case

There were still around a hundred sparrows fighting in the sky. It means that there should be around 900 dead sparrows that fell down

However, although their group retrieved corpses here and there, the number was lacking

"Boss, look, there are many bloodstains around as if a sparrow died and landed on it but the corpses were nowhere to be seen" another underling reported

Now that Crafty Snake look at their surroundings, there were indeed many traces but that was all, merely traces. What they needed was the corpses, not the traces of them

"Damn it who?! Who took the corpses that belong to us? I will skin them alive!" Crafty Snake said angrily
