Elsewhere in the morning in the city of clouds, the three royal mages namely Loxsa, Kiseru, and Ani were sitting leisurely in the pavilion while watching the young magicians practice.
A field with an area of more than 100 meters in the shape of a perfect circle surrounded by a fairly magnificent podium, the place is also commonly used for matches between wizards which are held every year.
Some young mages who were deemed to have adequate magical talent would be sent to the capital of the sun kingdom to receive deeper and perfect magic training.
"Loxsa, what do you think about the monsters and beasts, there seems to be something very odd, according to the previous survivor reports of the witches and the witches' information, we must also prepare ourselves," Kiseru asked in a slightly deep voice before he was so relaxed, he really believed in his abilities, but after the incident and some information he received, he started to get restless and couldn't calm down like before.
"Hmm, don't tell me how you're afraid of those lowly monsters and beasts," Ani asked who underestimated her partner.
"I'm not afraid, it's just that this is too awkward, since when did monsters and beasts work together against us, moreover they seem really organized," Kiseru replied quickly.
"Then what's the problem, do you think they will dare to come here to fight us, proof that they only attack the countryside because they are afraid of us," Ani replied curtly.
"You yourself admit that they are quite smart for attacking the weak," Kiseru also sneered.
"You two stop that nonsense, if they are really smart and dare to come here, we just need to slaughter them," Loxsa said in a booming voice.
"But..." Kiseru wanted to explain again but Loxsa quickly stopped him, while Ani just smiled lopsidedly.
Kiseru, I know what you're worried about, but Ani is right you worry too much and forget your own strength, the three of us are royal mages who have trained hard and earned recognition as high-ranking mages from the kingdom.
After all, there's no reason to be afraid of that trash, we just need to eradicate them, I've also created a special team to look for information about it, so we just need to wait for them," Loxsa explained firmly.
"Now we have to focus more on the match of the young wizards which will be held in 2 weeks. Ani, how many young wizards have registered to participate?" Loxsa continued to change the subject.
"Currently the number of participants is decreasing, maybe only half of last year's number, we also haven't got participants from the village, this is probably related to recent cases, but registration is still open for about a week, they still have enough time," Ani answered quickly.
"Okay I understand, but I think this year's participants are pretty good, don't you think Kiseru?" Loxsa greeted quickly, he didn't want his partner is getting more and more worried about monsters and beasts.
Mmm, maybe this time we can send more than 10 people to the capital," Kiseru replied while nodding confidently.
Hearing Kiseru's answer, Loxsa immediately smiled faintly, he immediately stood up from his luxurious chair and jumped down towards the young magicians who were practicing.
"Baaam".
The ground immediately shook when Loxsa landed in front of them, in an instant the hundreds of young magicians lined up while bowing respectfully and also looked scared.
"Greetings to Mr. Loxsa" Said the magicians in unison, they all clearly know the identity of Loxsa and his two colleagues, for the city witches, these three people are the most respected figures.
Loxsa nodded lightly, I came here to monitor the progress of all of you, as I said before, the match between young wizards will be held in 2 weeks.
"This is your chance to show your strength, you have to show your best, that way you have a chance to become a great mage of the kingdom," Loxsa shouted loudly.
"Ready."
The young magicians immediately shouted excitedly, as if they couldn't wait to show their strength.
Almost half of them have participated in matches in previous years, as long as they are not yet 18 years old they will still be able to participate in matches.
"Good, I'll be looking forward to it."
"Wussst".
After saying these words, Loxsa immediately disappeared and left only a trail of faint shadows with a collection of dust around where she stood.
The young wizards were not surprised by that, because they had often experienced the same thing, even though they had never seen the full power of Loxsa but they could guess how great Loxsa's power was.
Meanwhile, in another place in a cave, there was a black shadow figure along with 5 monsters sitting down, one of the monsters was a golden beaked monster.
Nearby were 4 other monsters namely the silver wolf monster, illusion eye monster, and steel body monster as well as the demon net monster.
"Damn it, that bastard has really been defeated, he's really useless, if I had known it was going to happen, I wouldn't have bothered to confront those weak mages," The golden beaked monster was slightly annoyed.
"Didn't you say he was strong enough to destroy that small village," The monster with the nickname of the steel body immediately mocked the golden beaked monster in front of him?
"Unlucky."
The golden-billed monster could only help but be embarrassed because what his partner said was true, he himself supported the jug monster to destroy the rain village.
"But I'm a little curious, who was the person who defeated him, didn't you manage to block the help that came from the city?" The illusory eye monster asked in surprise.
"Not only did I block them, but I've slaughtered those lowly mages without a trace, the only possibility is that there is a mage strong enough in the main village," The golden beaked monster explained casually.
"That doesn't seem right, that idiot has been preying on the villagers of the rain for a long time, if there really is a magician strong enough to defeat him, shouldn't that be the case from the start," Said the illusion-eyed monster very confidently.
"Hmm, I agree, that makes a lot of sense, that means there's a possibility that an outsider has beaten that stupid jug". The steel body monster nodded in agreement with the illusion-eyed monster's opinion.
"Why do you guys bother thinking about it, isn't he the weakest among us, no matter who defeated him, after all, if we want to destroy the village now, it's very easy isn't it, but that's not our goal, right Regel?". Obviously the silver wolf monster casually.
He also wanted to hear the opinion of a mysterious man near them, they called him Mr. Regel, he is their leader.
Regel wears a gray robe with a big muscular body and looks tough with brown mixed black, his face looks firm, with bright gray eyeballs.
