Chapter 242 242: Sun Holy Water

Due to the magic beast's energy attack, Rezen stumbled. If not for the fact that he was wearing pants and long sleeves, he might have sustained multiple scratches on his body

Blood dripped down his shoulder but Rezen ignored the pain and hurriedly stood up to run

No matter how painful it was, he has to run away from this place if he still wants to survive!

"Grrrr!" The magic beast that used an energy attack was bitten by the Junior Rank wolf

Fortunately for it, its scales offered a great defense. If it was a magic beast with low defense, a large chunk of its flesh would have been bitten

The wolf felt like it was biting hard rocks as its prey's scales were really tough. But even then, with the help of the other wolves that also pounced at the prey, the Junior Rank wolf managed to breach the scales' defenses

It succeeded in ripping a chunk of the magic beast's flesh. It was not too big nor too small since the prey has great defenses

Sensing the danger, the magic beast moved its feet. It thrashed around until the beastlings were thrown off before deciding to run away

Unfortunately for Rezen, the direction in which the magic beast is running was actually in his direction!

"Motherfucker, there are so many places to run into, why does it have to be where I am?" Rezen muttered, thinking that his luck hits rock bottom today

He couldn't possibly outrun this magic beast and he could only try to change his direction

Fortunately, it works as he and the magic beast run in different directions but in exchange, some of the beastlings changed their target

Normally, Rezen wouldn't be afraid of fighting some beastlings but the problem was that there are still two Junior Beasts nearby that he cannot defeat!

While holding his bleeding shoulder, Rezen took advantage of the nearby trees. He didn't run in a straight line to confuse the wolves

At first, he thought that he could use the trees to hide but he actually forgot one thing. The wolves have a great sense of smell!

Now that he was even bleeding, Rezen is like a candle in the middle of a dark room. To make matters worst, the magic beast with tentacles on its chin was even forced to change directions to dodge the pouncing Junior wolf

As such, Rezen looked around him while sweating heavily. He was trying to think of ways to utilize his environment when he saw what looks like a hole in a cave

This area of the forest was an area that Rezen has never traveled before in hopes to find treasures and he was glad to see that cave since the entrance was not large

In fact, the entrance was quite narrow and he thought of what he should do

Rezen changed direction and charged at that cave. Fortunately, it was close enough for him to enter before the Junior beasts could catch up to him

As soon as Rezen entered the cave, he injected mana into his earth-type Resonance Gem. He basically has the Resonance Gems of the nearby tribes, giving him more flexibility

Rezen waved his hand at the cave's entrance and a magic circle formed

"[Earth Wall!]!"

The ground shook a bit for a moment before an earthen wall formed, sealing the cave ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

However, the seal didn't last long. The Junior beast wolf was slammed at the wall, cracking it as a result

Seeing this, Rezen panicked a bit before he went deeper into the cave while creating more earthen walls

Unfortunately, the cave's path was actually downwards. The deeper Rezen entered the cave, the higher the distance between the ceiling and the floor

If this goes on, his spell wouldn't be able to completely block the path. He could only hope that the magic beast wouldn't enter deeper

However, since Rezen could still hear the roars of these magic beasts, he continue running without rest

The deeper Rezen went, the darker the area has become since sunlight was unable to penetrate the cave

Without a choice, he used a fire-type spell to create a burning ball of fire. Instead of firing the [Fireball] he merely maintained its existence to serve as his light

Shook!

The cave continues to shake. It seems like the fighting magic beasts are also heading deeper into the cave

Rezen's feet didn't stop moving and after some time, he encountered several forks in the road much to his relief

With this many choices, unless the universe itself wanted Rezen to die, the magic beasts wouldn't accidentally choose the same path that he would take

To further ensure that wouldn't happen, Rezen chose the path the furthest from him, and to his relief, he stopped hearing the sounds that the magic beasts have caused

"Phew... I'm temporarily safe but I'm now inside an unknown cave. Hmm... based on the novels I read before, isn't this a perfect setting to encounter great treasures?"

"Nah, no way, look at how bad my luck was today. It's already great that I even found vismian grass today"

Rezen shook the unnecessary thoughts inside his head and that is when Ivy's magnetic and emotionless voice entered his mind

"Master, the deeper you are in the cave, the higher the concentration of sun elemental energies becomes. Based on what I can sense, it was possible that this cave contained Sun Holy Water"

For a moment, Rezen stopped running as he blinked his eyes repeatedly. "For real? I'm that lucky?" He muttered in disbelief

Did all the misfortune he had today is the cost of having this fortuitous encounter?

As someone that wanted to reach the Junior Rank, Rezen memorized the treasures that could remove impurities

One of the most useful but also rare treasures is precisely the Sun Holy Water! It was one of the best when it comes to cleansing a mage's body 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m

Of course, just like others, the Sun Holy Water also depending on the quality could be effective only on mages at the low cycle, mid-cycle, high-cycle of the Junior Rank, and even above that rank

Still, Rezen only needs Sun Holy Water of the lowest quality since he is still an apprentice mage!

"Master only need to continue forward and you'll find the Sun Holy Water" Ivy replied before maintaining its silence again

In excitement, Rezen's feet moved quicker than before and after minutes of running while using nature-type healing magic on his shoulder, he finally reached the central area of the cave

It was a space wider than the path he took and the moment that Rezen stepped into the central area, he suddenly saw that there was actually a large magic formation on the entire central area of the cave

In fright, Rezen unconsciously stepped back and as soon as he did so, the magic formation vanished from his vision

"Ivy, was I hallucinating or there was really a magic formation earlier?" Rezen asked

Thinking of it, how could obtaining Sun Holy Water actually be easy?

Not to mention, he hasn't even encountered any magic beast on his way here. Isn't this situation too abnormal?

"Master was not hallucinating. Enter the central area and Master would be able to see the magic formation again"

Since Rezen only took one step earlier and he quickly took his foot back in panic, he returned to his earlier path and hasn't really entered the central area of the cave

"Was the magic formation something that could only be seen if one stepped on it?" Rezen thought before reentering the central area

Since Ivy didn't warn him of possible danger, entering this place should be relatively safe and indeed, aside from seeing the formation, nothing bad happened

"Ivy, what does this magic formation does?" Rezen inquired

"The magic formation has the ability to ward off magic beasts from entering the cave but once they are already inside, the formation would lose its effect"

"Also, the magic formation could hide the Sun Holy Water and its aura within a small range"

The Sun Holy Water? Rezen looked around him and aside from the glowing magic formation that could only be seen when one was stepping on it, he couldn't see where the Sun Holy Water is

"Master has to destroy the magic formation to reveal the Sun Holy Water" Ivy continued as if it sensed Rezen's confusion

"Destroy the magic formation? Considering that this formation could ward off magic beasts, is it even possible for me to destroy it?" Rezen smiled bitterly

He thought that his wanted treasure would fall into his hands but it seems like that wouldn't be possible

Rezen was dejected before Ivy gave him hope

"Even apprentice mages could destroy the formation. It was designed so that even the weakest magic could destroy it"

Rezen's eyes immediately lit up and he excitedly casts a stream spell on the magic formation. Just as Ivy said, the formation was easy to be destroyed

The moment the stream spell landed on the formation, it shattered
