My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!

The reason why CW-236 is facing the threat of destruction was because of a magic beast in the 7th cycle

This magic beast was at least two meters tall and is a humanoid-type beast walking on two limbs. This beast\'s skin was gray in color and its body was out of portion

Its lower body was quite slender but from its chest and above, it suddenly became bigger. Not only that but on its chest, shoulders, and arms, white masks could be seen

Even its face was just a white mask and these masks constantly shoot magic attacks from different elements

This is a magic beast called Wicked Mask Beast. Its defense was mediocre compared to other magic beasts but its magical abilities were superior

This particular Wicked Mask Beast is even at the 7th cycle, the very reason why the mages at coordinate CW-236 have a hard time defending

The higher the cycle, the greater the gap in power compared to entities even just a single cycle lower

Due to the unwritten law brought to existence by the Guardian and the Magic Beasts, both sides wouldn\'t just send high-ranking combatants

Once one side threw a high-ranking combatant, the other side would do the same and this thing would repeat

While humanity cannot win against the magic beasts, because of the Guardian\'s existence, the beasts are also unwilling to have an all-out war as the result would be devastating even if they won

As such, in most cases, both sides would only send combatants at the Junior Rank. It\'s not every day that both sides would send combatants at the 8th or 9th cycle as these ones have the chance of reaching the rank above the Junior Rank

However, it was not too rare to send combatants at the 7th cycle just like this Wicked Masks Beast

To fight against such a magic beast, a mage at or above that level is required to take action. However, humans have always been on the weaker side

While they surely have many 7th-cycle Junior Mages, it\'s not like those mages don\'t have anything else to do. The number of mages that could fight has always been lower than the magic beasts

To deal with this kind of problem, the people responsible for controlling and positioning the troops opted to have lower-ranking mages use the Overdrive Formation for their side to have a combatant that is temporarily at the 7th cycle

The chosen one was Wermon that clenched his fist while staring at the rampaging Wicked Masks Beast killing one mage after another

Wermon can\'t possibly continue letting that beast rampage as it likes and as soon as his power was boosted, he immediately rushed toward his target

While running, Wermon condensed a yellow magic circle at his feet while moving his sword to the side

This was the same posture as he had earlier since he was casting the same spell

"[Clapping Thunder!]" Wermon muttered and the spell gave him an instantaneous boost in speed and appear

It was like he disappeared again and when he reappeared, he was already engaging the Wicked Masks Beasts

Rumble!

A strong shockwave spreads that threw the nearby humans and magic beasts and their bodies became numb as if someone shocked them with electricity. Even the ground that Wermon was previously standing on caved in and was scorched

When the others could finally see Wermon again, they saw him facing his target

On his body and sword, flashes of lightning swim freely but this time, he was not able to kill his target using a single move

The beast\'s perception was quite great as the masks on its body breathe out fire in time to block Wermon\'s sword strike

The mage\'s sword was not strong enough to cut through the breaths of fire and he was forced to back away if he doesn\'t want his whole body to be fried

One side is a genuine entity at the 7th cycle while the other is relying on a formation. Naturally, Wermon is not used to the temporary power he had and his control was not as smooth as when he was in his normal state

As soon as he appeared, both the nearby humans and magic beasts suddenly avoided him and his opponent

It seems like both sides understood that they might become collateral deaths if they participate in the fight between Wermon and the Wicked Masks Beast

After all, there are not many 7th-cycle combatants on this battlefield and when they clash, it was possible for them to kill the ones near them accidentally

"Human! You dare face me alone! Do you want to be eaten that much?" The beast suddenly spoke with a hoarse voice

Not all magic beasts are brainless fools that only rely on instincts. The higher the rank, the more likely that they would gain proper consciousness. However, even a 1st cycle Junior beast or even a beastling could also awaken their consciousness. It either relies on luck or their specie

This Wicked Masks Beast is one of those that has human-like intelligence although it was just a Junior Beast. It should have a higher importance on the camp of magic beasts since not many of them have human-like intelligence

It might even be tasked to destroy the section of the wall that Wermon wanted to protect

"Hmph, you are the ones that would be eaten!" Wermon harrumphed coldly before a new magic circle formed below him and lightning once again covered his body and sword

"[Thrust of Destruction!]"

Crack! Sizzle!

Wermon\'s body emitted more lightning sparks than before. Some streaks of lightning even touched the ground and scorched it

As Wermon generated lightning sparks on his body, the blue aura on his body thinned considerably

That blue aura comes from the mana that the ten 4th cycle mages are supplying to him via the magic formation. The formation couldn\'t be physically seen right now but the blue glow of mana is proof that it was still working

Wermon doesn\'t plan on prolonging this battle as the Overdrive Formation has a time limit and he chose to cast the most lethal spell that he could

Soon, the sparks of lightning gathered at Wermon\'s sword, giving it a bright yellow glow as if thousands of lightning bolts were stored in it

After charging his spell, Wermon charged at his opponent, leaving behind a cracked and scorched ground

Meanwhile, the magic beast was not idle as the masks on its body squirmed and moved. They gathered at its abnormally large chest before combining into a single but bigger mask

The white color of the mask even turned black!

Mana gathered at the mouth of the black mask and it shot concentrated blue energy at the same time that Wermon\'s feet moved

Boom! Rumble! Crack! Sizz!

The collision between Wermon and the beast\'s attack produced various sounds and a crater is starting to form from where they are

One yellow and one blue light clashed against each other, sending devastating shockwaves everywhere

For a moment, this area was bathed with two different colors that blinded those that are weaker than the two

When the light subsided, the figure of Wermon and the Wicked Masks Beast could be seen again and both of them are injured

Wermon bled red-colored blood while the other side\'s blood was dark gray. The human has a gaping bloody hole on his chest along with the lesser injuries all over his body while the magic beast also has a large stabbing wound on its upper body

The two might look like they were injured equally but that was not the truth. As someone that is not a genuine 7th cycle Junior Mage, Wermon was more injured and worn out, especially since while Body Mages have better physical bodies than Spirit Mages, their vitality is still not as strong as those of the magic beasts

Those that are knowledgeable would know that Wermon is more injured and he was at a disadvantage

If he was not a Body Mage, he might have already fainted due to the gaping hole in his chest

In fact, it wouldn\'t even take that long before Wermon really fainted but before that happens, he planned on defeating his target first

With a wave of his bloody hand, Wermon retrieved a small bottle of potion that has blue liquid inside

This is a mana potion, the type that would recover the consumer\'s mana in one huge burst

Wermon uncapped the small bottle and drank the blue liquid inside. A chunk of his mana was instantly replenished

While the [Thrust of Destruction] was a powerful spell of his, he couldn\'t cast the spell twice while maintaining its full power. If he wants to cast it the second time, he has to consume a mana potion

"Human! You anger me! I\'ll kill you before I destroy that wall!" The beast said angrily

While Wermon couldn\'t fight it for a long time, the beast is different and it acts as if it was not injured at all
