Chapter 760: I Hate Mages!
The mages slowly descended onto the dimension's new land in groups, each one being led by a squad leader who was a higher star mage and also wore a blazer rather than a robe like the rest of them.
The appearance of them floating down as if they had control of flight was caused by one in the group who had advanced wind powers, allowing them to land on the ground softly.
As standard with each procedure, each group was separated from each other within a kilometer. This was so they could explore the area easily and quickly, and if there was any trouble such as a powerful beast, the teams could come over and help each other quicker with support.
The mages had made a formation, surrounding themselves in a circle as they moved through the dense jungle. The squad leader was placed in the middle.
"Check out the area first, you know that's the first thing you need to do," the squad leader ordered.
One of the mages wearing a hood with the clear display of the golden 'I' on the peak knelt down and pressed both of his hands on the ground. A pulse came out, and the flow of dirt was seen moving outward.
"10 o'clock, large beast has been located, 1.2 tons!" the mage shouted.
Immediately, three of the mages made their move. One of them threw out a special circular device right into the heavy greenery. A slight noise was made, followed by a bestial scream.
"NAGRUU!" Charging out from the leaves was a beast on all fours with large horns that bent sideways and across the edge of its body, the outside of them appearing razor-sharp.
"Attack!" the squad leader shouted.
A number of mages used their spells, shouting out mainly fire-like attacks. The fireballs were shot out seemingly at random but all started to head toward the beast. That's when the fireballs could be seen curling toward the beast and landing right on its neck.
"Unit three and unit four, you are the closest to unit six's location. Can you check on their location and report back?" Jefferson asked.
They both replied and were on it immediately. Calmly, Jefferson waited. With how many beasts were in the dimension, there was also a good chance that there was a strong beast that could defeat the mages as well. Losses were expected with tasks like this at times.
After around fifteen minutes had passed, Jefferson had expected some type of update but had no contact. So he tried to connect with them, and once again, there was no connection. Immediately, Jefferson stood up.
"Get all units to head to where squad six was based," Jefferson ordered. "And we will head there ourselves as well."
The mage to Jefferson's right lifted his hands up, and all three of them started to float as they headed to the area. They rose above the jungle and could see the other squads moving to the location as well.
"Let's not head right into the center. If it's a large beast, then we could get hit straight away," Jefferson ordered. So they lowered themselves and started to travel through the jungle. Up ahead, they could hear a stream of water running.
By a small stream that went off a mountain, that was where Unit 6 had gone to. Landing on the ground, Jefferson was on the move, and he had even started to form a strange shield on the palm of his hands with his magic, condensing on the outside. They surrounded his hands as he walked forward.
"Argh!" A man was heard shouting, but there were no large footsteps. Hearing the sound of one of the mages hurt and in distress, the three ran forward, out of the jungle and by the bed of the stream of water on the ground with small rocks.
Instantly, Jefferson stopped as he looked at the sight in front of him. The ground was surrounded with the dead mages of each group that had come forward. Blood on the ground, and right in front of them, there was a man being held up, with a red crystal through the bottom of his chin right to the top of his head.
Attached to the red crystal was a man, his ragged clothes covered in blood. The man turned his head to look at the three that had just arrived.
"All of you, you use the same powers as that student. That really grinds me the wrong way," Murkel said. "I guess I have some questions to ask, but in my anger at seeing these men kill these beasts, I got rid of far too many."
"I have learned one thing from these people: you're called Mages. I'm guessing he was one as well. So are you going to answer my questions, Mage?"
