............
The ice spear shot to the sky. It blitzed like a dying meteor. Even Reve couldn't see the movement of the ice spear.
*Whoosh!*
In the blink of an eye, it struck the great tree and pierced its bark. An ice sheet got released from the ice spear. The glacial sheet froze the great tree until it was fully trapped in a block of ice.
It was at this time that a white plant whip rose from the ground and nudged the ice block softly. The block of ice collapsed into tiny shards of ice. It revealed a feminine figure which had no life left in it.
The figure was Chelone. Her eyes were wide opened and it seemed that was the last expression she made before she died. As the harsh wind brushed against her body, she crumbled into tiny bits just like the block of ice.
Looking at this, Reve smiled, 'I'm officially a 3rd Circle Arcanist.'
Just as he was pressured by Chelone, he challenged his limit and broke through. This made him able to use a magic spell he had learned earlier before.
It was a variation of [Ice Fantasy] called [Artic Moon]. This grand magic spell compressed the principles of [Ice Fantasy] into one single attack. It was his strongest attack right now and also the only spell that required a great amount of mana.
Nonetheless, it proved efficient. It was able to kill the dryad instantly!
Reve sighed as he felt his body spasmed due to the intense exertion of his mana reserve. He looked below at the destruction he had caused.
'3rd Circle, huh....?'
He was only a 3rd Circle Arcanist in name. In each stage of the school of arcanism, one needed to comprehend the hidden trait of the stage.
The first circle was the ability to manipulate elemental mana. The second circle was the existence of a mana heart, which housed one's mana reserve and connected to each mana vein.
The third circle was more difficult. It involved borrowing power from the elemental planes. This was something extremely dangerous and difficult.
*Grggggh!*
While he was deep in thoughts, the stage he was on moved. It broke his focus and alerted him.
'What in the….ahhh, not again!!!'
The stages were unifying. It seemed to be something Amethyst thought was fun.
After each round, two stages would bind together. On each side of the stages would be the next opponent. This would go on until there was only one stage left; the final stage!
Reve narrowed his eyes at the pillar Amethyst was on. If not that the stages were covered with a barrier, he would have been tempted to shoot a mana blast at the damn god!
Heck, his body was beyond stressed. He needed rest but he clearly wasn't going to get it.
'Hmmm...let's see.'
Reve dropped his lazy thoughts and focused on the task at hand; his next opponent. On the other side of the stage was a serpentine creature. The top half of its body was that of a humanoid female, while the lower half was that of a snake.
The creature was a gorgon, another exceedingly rare magical creature…..as expected!
Reve was about to plan his next course of action when he noticed his legs were stiffening. He panicked and coalesced it with energy.
After that, he shut his eyes closed and refused to open them no matter what happened.
'I forgot I was dealing with a gorgon, crap!'
Thankfully, he had noticed on time and closed his eyes.
A gorgon was a special magical creature. It had the ability to turn anything that looked at its eyes to stone. This ability was strong enough to be ranked as a [Rare] ranked skill.
Reve approached the lady gorgon with caution. He activated all his sensory ability and was able to move well even without his eyes open.
Suddenly, Reve's figure blurred. He appeared close to the gorgon and threw a sidekick at her. He was counter-attacked with a tail slap.
*Boom!*
Reve got hit and was blasted far away. He stood up from his spot and blood dripped from his lips. As a mage, he was no good at close combat but he had to rely on it.
This was because he was preparing his remaining mana point for his last battle. If he wasted them here, he was sure to not win the next stage. In essence, he would die!
Reve sighed, 'I have to rely on my other path. As of now, the side effects have not kicked in. I can worry about that later.'
He thought to himself, '[Morai]!'
Suddenly, his body blitzed away. Not long after, a sharp beam of energy burned through that spot. Reve trailed beside the beam of energy and located his opponent.
In his mind, the location of the gorgon was at the absolute end of his sensory radius. However, it was still okay.
Reve had realized that whenever he used [Supernatural Sense], [Seventh Sense], and [Energy Sense], he would be able to perceive any attack but his reaction was always slow.
It was as if the control he had over his body in that state was rust, but that was different now. Using [Morai], his control over his body was enough to react at a superfast speed.
Reve levitated some ice shards he found around and rained them on the gorgon. Contrary to one's expectation, gorgons were not that physically strong. Their physical attributes were around that of Reve's.
With the ice shards as cover, Reve sneaked up on the gorgon punched its chest. A tail came his way but it was blocked by an ethereal barrier.
Reve concentrated his mind and prepared for a final attack. He felt his body resist the physical system. The momentum gathered by his body leaked profusely.
With [Morai], Reve captured them and shot his hand forward. Just before he reached the gorgon's chest, he felt friction occurring and disregarded it.
*Ptui!*
His hand went through her chest. On the other side of the gorgon's was his hand holding a black-red beating heart.
When Reve detached his hand, the gorgon's body slammed lifelessly on the ground.
If it was any other opponent, the gorgon would be a terrifying opponent but to Reve who had three sensory skills, it was a bit too easy for him
