It was the next morning when Memphis finished his daily training routine and had taken a good rest. He took the book which his grandfather had gifted to him from his bookshelf and opened it. As soon as he glanced through the contents, Memphis' eyes went wide in shock. This was a heaven sent gift and the one he had been waiting for! The book contained a detailed explanation and analysis on how Mage soldiers should combine their physical capabilities with their spells and mana for a maximum output. In the book were diagrams of various poses, stances and ways of exercise which would bring out the Mage soldier's physical strength and the best variations to combine both his spells and body with. The book was so detailed that Memphis had no trouble understanding what was written. It had clear and accurate diagrams which described each objective thoroughly. This was exactly what Memphis was looking for as his punches and kicks though powerful, lacked finesse and were simply wasteful. Instea
Memphis had exited from the beast plane and his mind space. He now held his summoned beast in his arms, a weak red and gold bird. One would ask, why would a noble of Memphis' caliber contract such a weak summon? The answer was that he had sympathy for the poor bird as it reminded him of his life back on Earth; the sorrow, the pain, the hurt and above all the loneliness he experienced. In the same way this bird seemed abandoned, probably left to die by its parent because it might not have been strong enough. Why else would a bird in such a state be left in such a small cave? The law of the jungle was harsh and only the strongest could survive. Had it not been for the light it gave off, Memphis wouldn't have even known there was something like that there. It was left with the last part of the contract which required him to give a name to his summon. "Hmm, what name will be suitable for it?" he thought deeply. After some time of pondering, he decided to name the bird Scarlet because of
Memphis had diligently focused on the training of his body and mind so much so that he was confident of fighting a low level Advanced Mage. The book his grandfather gave him as a gift had helped him out so much and he had mastered the breathing Technique in the book, also perfecting his stances and seamlessly combining his magic with his body. Now Memphis thought it was high time he gained practical experience. Even though his family had doted on him, getting him the required resources for his training and getting him the best teachers in the kingdom, Memphis knew that he had to acquire practical experience not just training. After all, he knew that many nobles in those webnovels, even though powerful lacked practical experience and as such, they froze up in the face of danger. No training dummy could compare to the challenge of facing a sentient beast to fight with. Memphis wanted to hone his skills on the beasts so that by the time it was time for him to go to the Magic academy, he
Meanwhile Memphis and Arudiz entered the forest and Arudiz spoke. "I won't interfere with your little adventure and I will suppress my aura so beasts won't run away and you can hunt to your heart's content. Remember this though; be alert and watchful, most beasts are very cunning. I won't interfere until it reaches a critical point where you can't fight back. Until then," Arudiz left him hanging and vanished.Memphis was happy about this. At least he could go all out without worrying about the consequences. Nevertheless, he wasn't that foolish to waste his mana unnecessarily as that would cost him in real battle. The forest at the outskirts of the capital was called the Mavelis Forest. It was home to many beasts and spanned over a wide area, extending to as far as the borders of the neighbouring kingdom. Due to its size, the kingdom regularly sent a team of Mages to thin down the number of the beasts to prevent a Beast Horde.In Balvan, Beast hordes were one of the worst disasters to
Many Noble families had huge businesses which made them extremely important to the kingdom. It was through some of these businesses that they earned their income. In Balvan, there were two forms of currencies. Mana crystals and coins. Most often, the rich and powerful did their exchanges with mana crystals but due to commoners being too poor to afford it, the coins were created for them so that they could also trade easily. the coins were in three different forms. Copper coins, Silver coins and Gold coins. 100 Copper coins equals 1 Silver coin, 10 Silver coins equals 1 Gold coin and 1000 Gold coins equals one mana crystal.The businesses most often led to clashes especially if they were in the same business. Some too would collaborate due to mutual benefits they could have. The Lerains were into potion and pill making, the Zerons were into Formations, the Murkhams and Kincaids were into Guilds and so on. Due to this, they were constantly recruiting needy geniuses and talents from town
A year had passed by quickly and Memphis had come to love the thrill of hunting. So far he had hunted beasts at his level and also primitive beasts of all kinds. He was very pleased as he kept learning new things from every battle, allowing him to create more spells and better himself in his style of fighting. Unknown to him, a certain being had been watching his progress carefully. It was the Lord of the Mavellis forest, a Mythical Tyrannical Flame Lion called Mansoor. Adventurers and mages always entered the Mavellis forest but he took no notice of them but this boy was a special one. It couldn't tell what made the boy special but it felt some mysterious energy in him which was filled with godly essence. Naturally, Mansoor shouldn't have been able to sense it but he had a lucky encounter with something similar which had helped evolve him into a very powerful Mythical beast. Had it not been that he sensed a powerful aura following and protecting the boy from the shadows, he would hav
After that battle with the Shadow Panther, Memphis knew he was seriously lacking in terms of strength so he had to work diligently on it. Scarlet had become much larger than before and after eating the fruit and heart of the Shadow panther, it had now become half Memphis' size and was a Warrior level beast!Now Scarlet had red and gold feathers, sharp eyes and didn't look as weak as the time Memphis found it. Now it could coat itself with flames and shoot fiery feathers from the wings, alongside fire from its beak. Memphis was glad that he at least had a strong summon above his level.Memphis continued his training, diligently cultivating and training his body, trying to master the stances and skills he had learnt in the book.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••He wasn't the only one though who had become stronger. In the Zeron training room, a lanky boy with raven black, almost dark blue hair and purple eyes took a deep breath and channelled his mana.
In other Noble houses, various heads and nobles recieved the emergency meeting summons and immediately started making preparations to go to the palace. The king sat on his throne in a large hall, reading the report that Stefan, his right hand man, had compiled for him.Now that the organization knew that they had a target on their back, they had switched to using local criminals and Daris' Underworld for the dirty work. Of course, the criminals were more than happy to capture a few snotty brats here and there for a good sum. So far, those in the Organization whom the kingdom had managed to arrest these past months were all famous rogue mages and criminals. They all alleged that it was a hired work. Apparently, a mysterious person by the name Slade Zogg had posted that mission with a huge rewards.The mysterious man called Slade then invited them to a certain location and gave them the list of geniuses they wanted to capture, their residences and areas they visited frequently, alongsid
