After 10 hours of analyzing the fourth-order magic [Frenzy], Kevin would be able to cast the spell once the time elapsed. With perfect control, even though he was only of the third order, he could still release it! This was the benefit brought by the system's analysis!
Seeing that the Raging Bear Beast possessed a fourth-order magic, Kevin wanted to see if it had mastered any other spells, so he used [Replicate] to check the magic it had mastered. However, it was a bit disappointing because magical beasts, after all, are not humans, and their innate magic is limited. Currently, the Raging Bear Beast only had one fourth-order magic [Frenzy], and another third-order magic.
[Dark Claw: A third-order dark-element innate magic that condenses dark attribute mana on both claws for attack!]
As for the Blue Blade Wolf, it only had one third-order magic [Blue Blade] and a second-order magic [Blade Edge], which Kevin also replicated and analyzed without missing out.
Currently, Kevin's analysis conditions required the target to release magic or have enough magical parameters, such as magical books or scriptures. If not, he could only rely on replicating and then viewing the magic items for analysis.
"Roar!!" Just as Kevin finished replicating the magic, the Raging Bear Beast suddenly roared, a dark red glow appeared on its huge bear paws, and then condensed into black-red claws several tens of centimeters long, slapping the Blue Blade Wolf away.
Immediately, the Blue Blade Wolf suffered a heavy blow, with a deep wound on its shoulder that exposed the bone.
But this strike from the Raging Bear Beast also completely made the Blue Blade Wolf lose its mind. After climbing up from the ground, it howled in anger, its whole body surging with mana, and a three-meter-long giant Blue Blade condensed above the Raging Bear Beast's head.
"This is condensing all the mana in the body into the magic, ready to fight to the death," Bella said solemnly.
Kevin watched this scene and clicked his tongue in amazement.
The Blue Blade Wolf, desperately condensing all its mana into the third-order Blue Blade, might be able to compete with a fourth-order magic.
"Roar!" Faced with the huge Blue Blade, the Raging Bear Beast's eyes flickered with fierce light, and it did not choose to evade. Instead, it roared at the Blue Blade and took the initiative to meet it head-on.
"Wow, this young bear!" Kevin exclaimed, "This bear is too aggressive, isn't it?"
The next moment, the giant Blue Blade fell with a crash, and the Raging Bear Beast's claws also flickered with black-red light—Dark Claw!
The collision of the two spells erupted with a fierce wind, bending the surrounding plants, and Kevin squinted his eyes.
In this game, the Raging Bear Beast won.
A Pyrrhic victory!
...
The giant Blue Blade directly cleaved a massive wound through the dual claws of the Raging Bear Beast, nearly severing them and injuring its shoulder, the wound was so deep that bones were visible!
After unleashing this full-force strike, the Blue Blade Wolf collapsed to the ground.
"Roar!!" Despite suffering a severe blow, the Raging Bear Beast did not wane but instead roared in anger again and lunged at the Blue Blade Wolf.
Seeing this, the Blue Blade Wolf's eyes filled with desolation; it wanted to flee, but its depleted magic and injuries left it weak and immobile, only able to watch helplessly as the Raging Bear Beast pounced towards it.
"Unfurl the Wings of Light!"
At that moment, thirty Rays suddenly appeared, striking the back of the Raging Bear Beast with fierce force.
This attack was a full-force effort!
Kevin expended nearly four-fifths of his magic to unleash thirtyfold [Ray].
At this distance, it was difficult for the Raging Bear Beast's massive frame to miss.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The dense muffled sounds came from the Raging Bear Beast as its body violently shook. After the Rays, it was drenched in blood, billowing with smoke, and finally collapsed.
Kevin was panting slightly, the one-time expenditure of so much magic was not easy on him, but being able to kill the Raging Bear Beast made it worthwhile.
After releasing the thirtyfold [Ray], Kevin did not rashly advance because he noticed there was no enhancement, meaning the Raging Bear Beast was not dead yet!
So he waited on the spot for a while, and after his magic was fully restored, he unleashed another thirtyfold [Ray]!
Bella: "..."
You should act like a human!
How can a mage like you cast a thirtyfold spell at once?!
The thirty Rays struck the Raging Bear Beast, and this time it was truly finished. After a reluctant low roar, it completely ceased to live, and Kevin could feel a significant enhancement in his physique and spirit.
"Completely killed, beautiful!"
Kevin let out a sigh of relief and then looked at the Blue Blade Wolf, which was in a state of shock.
The Raging Bear Beast was down, and it was the Wolf's turn next.
Just as Kevin was about to deal with the Blue Blade Wolf, it suddenly lowered its head, emitting a series of whimpers, looking at Kevin with its beastly eyes, filled with pleading.
Kevin understood, it wanted to live, so he slowly lowered his raised hand.
Seeing this, Bella asked, "You're not planning to let it go, are you?"
Kevin smiled slightly, "Do you know a saying?"
Bella was taken aback: "What?"
"If a wolf turns back, it's either to show gratitude or to take revenge!" Kevin said excitedly, "If I don't kill it now, and it comes back to show gratitude, wouldn't I be able to gain a Blue Blade Wolf as a mount?"
"Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!"
Bella: "..."
Kevin looked at the Blue Blade Wolf, waved his hand, "Go on, I won't kill you."
"Remember to show your gratitude when you come back, hehehe..."
Bella: "..."
That's enough from you!
The Blue Blade Wolf, grateful, glanced at Kevin and then, with difficulty, limped into the forest.
Bella, watching the departing figure of the Blue Blade Wolf, said to Kevin, "Is this not being a saint, a pushover?"
Kevin gave a self-mocking smile, "Who would kill the Raging Bear Beast to gain an advantage and be considered a saint?"
He shook his head, "This is not sainthood, it's just following my heart. When strength matches, to kill or to spare, it's all up to my heart. Even demons have tender moments, and saints can be malicious at times."
"So in order to act according to my will, I must become stronger, and keep getting stronger!"
Hearing this, Bella couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Of course, I let it go mainly because it's quite cute. Ugly ones, I usually don't let go," Kevin suddenly said.
Bella: "..."
"It's getting late, let's call it a day and go back to roast rabbit!" With that, Kevin started walking back.
But then he circled back, ran to the carcass of the Raging Bear Beast, condensed a metal blade, and with disgust, cut off the front paws of the Raging Bear Beast, muttering, "Almost forgot, bear paws are a delicacy, can't waste..."
Bella: "..."
"By the way, does this Raging Bear Beast have a core?"
"There's no concentration of magic in its body, so it hasn't formed a core," Bella said.
"Alright then." Kevin nodded with some regret, then walked away humming a tune, carrying the bear paws.
