Chapter 16: Tier-Two Vicious Beast, Armored Raging Bear
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Without the aptitude to become a magic caster, there would be no future.
So what if he had herculean strength?
The strength would eventually reach its end!
Elder Chuan wanted to recommend Austin into the Thunder Magister Guild, but Austin’s aptitude was too poor.
Vicious Beast Town.
Catherine stabbed out with her dagger as shining blade glows interlaced with each other. It was as if there were fallen flowers everywhere, and killing intent was hidden within the beauty.
The fast, accurate, and ruthless dagger cut through the corrosive hound’s throat.
“This is a magic technique.”
Austin clapped his hands and praised.
Catherine sheathed her dagger and exhaled.
“It’s a pity that I don’t have enough mana. Otherwise, three corrosive hounds would have died when I cast one magic spell.”
She spoke as she dissected the corrosive hounds. She still could not find any tracking devices.
It seemed like it was another beast that had yet to mature.
Only the adult corrosive hounds were low-level beasts.
Austin said, “Come on. You’re getting used to fighting. We should go deeper into the town of Vicious Beasts.”
Vicious Beast Town was relatively less dangerous when the transport station was nearby.
After all, the royal family was there.
Only by traveling deeper into the town could they meet low-level vicious beasts.
Maybe even the mid-level vicious beast specially provided for this examination!
Austin and Catherine passed through three streets and saw various signs of battle.
There were bloodstains on the roadside, bullet shells, guns, and tattered combat uniforms.
There were the corpses of ferocious beasts and also the corpses of apprentice magisters.
Catherine said nothing with a heavy heart.
That was the cruel reality!
“Run!”
“It’s a mid-level vicious beast, Armored Raging Bear!”
“The team that Young Master Kyle brought was completely wiped out.”
“Mid-level beasts are really not something that we can deal with at all! Even high-level magic weapons are useless against it.”
In the small townhouse in front, there was a constant stream of apprentice magisters fleeing in panic.
The young master of a large financial group whom a particular examiner thought highly of had died inside.
Evidently, this young master wanted to enter the Thunder Magister Guild, thus going after the mid-level vicious beasts.
However, his team got wiped out even though he brought five apprentice magisters and many magic weapons.
Due to the exam regulations, it was impossible to carry better weapons.
Otherwise, why would there be a need for the assessment when the rich disciples could directly use their magic mechas to sweep through the low-level beasts?
“It’s a mid-level vicious beast. Let’s run too, Austin!”
Catherine tugged at Austin’s shirt.
Austin stood where he was, unmoved. Instead, his eyes gleamed.
“Do you want to enter the Thunder Magister Guild?”
Austin stood still and asked calmly.
“Thunder Magister Guild?”
Catherine hesitated.
That was one of the top ten powerhouses in the world, the Thunder Magister Guild. Who wouldn’t want to enter?
Could it be…?
Catherine stared at her brother in disbelief.
“Brother. Please don’t tell me you want to kill the Armored Raging Bear?!”
Generally speaking, a mid-level beast was equivalent to an advanced magic weapon.
The Armored Raging Bear was known for its strength and defense. Nothing could penetrate its armor without the use of high-level magitek to launch specialized shells.
How could any apprentice magister fight such a beast?
Even a tier-two magister’s magic spell could not cut through the armor!
“Austin, I’m begging you. Let’s go.”
Catherine was close to tears.
Bang!
A violent black bear, the size of an elephant, broke through the house and charged out.
It was like a general wearing heavy armor, but its speed was not affected.
When it ran on all fours, it was like an armored car.
Every time it caught up to the escaping apprentice magisters, the Armored Raging Bear would slap him with its thick front claws.
Pa!
That person’s bones and tendons were all broken, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere. It smeared onto the wall and the ground.
Deader than dead!
“Ahhhh…!”
“You monster!”
“I’ll kill you!”
A terrified apprentice magister turned his head and wildly shot the magick gun in his hand.
The black muzzle of the gun emitted intense flames.
A shuttle of magic bullets hit the Armored Raging Bear’s body, emitting a blazing line of fire and a clunking sound.
Someone threw a magic explosive toward the Armored Raging Bear.
Balls of fire rose while smoke filled the air.
Unfortunately, ordinary magic weapons were useless against the Armored Raging Bear.
They could not cause any fatal damage!
The Armored Raging Bear charged forward with its enormous paws slapping down.
Pa!
An apprentice magister got smashed into a meat patty. His flesh stuck to the ground while blood splashed out in all directions.
“Sister, I will send you to the Thunder Magister Guild.”
These words were so calm and confident.
Austin, who stood outside the house, took off his coat and handed it to Catherine, revealing his muscular upper body.
“Austin, no!”
“I don’t want to enter the Thunder Magister Guild! I don’t want to!”
Catherine sobbed and tried to hold Austin back, but it was useless.
“Roar…!”
The Armored Burst Bear stood up and let out a roar like a king of the forest, shaking up the entire examination area.
Intimidation!
The Armored Raging Bear was making its presence felt.
However, Austin took long strides and calmly walked towards the Armored Raging Bear that stood four to five meters tall.
Many magick surveillance cameras in the examination area captured this scene.
Hika, the tier-three magister, frowned and whispered, “What is he trying to do?”
“He’s too reckless. Is he going to challenge the mid-level Armored Raging Bear alone?”
One had to know that the Armored Raging Bear was an extremely troublesome existence amongst all the intermediate-level beasts.
Elder Chuan, who had just praised Austin, narrowed his eyes. He did not understand why Austin would do that.
“This boy is too unwise.”
All the experts present were pessimistic about Austin’s chances.
“Brother…”
Catherine’s eyes watered as she watched Austin’s back.
She chose to believe in her brother!
“Roar…!”
The Armor Raging Bear let out a deafening roar as it spat out smelly saliva.
It was enraged.
In the eyes of the Armored Raging Bear, Austin was merely a slightly bigger ant.
Although Austin was tall and sturdy, he was like a baby compared to the Armored Raging Bear.
The Armored Raging Bear no longer stood on two legs as it charged towards Austin as a tiger.
The metal door of the examination area became deformed and flew out.
“Good timing!”
Austin shouted and strode forward. His speed increased as he started running.
His muscles bulged, and his tendons were like steel bars, hiding terrifying strength.
Austin was not born with divine strength.
It was all because his cells had evolved!
Speaking of which, most of his strength came from insect-type magical beasts!
