“I’m sorry, what are these again?” Macy asked, her eyes blinking rapidly as if she just misheard something

“Metal Potatoes. M-E-T—-”

“I know how to spell!” Macy exploded. She was already not feeling good because of the unfair contract yet Rezen is still being annoying

Potatoes? What are potatoes? How could the block of metal in front of her possibly be potatoes? What kind of potato is that?

“Right…” Rezen replied while narrowing his eyes at Macy as if he didn’t believe her at all

The woman can feel the nerves on her head twitching. If not for Rezen possessing the Preston Family’s Token of Gratitude she might have already crushed him with the help of gravity

“So… these things… are you saying that they are potatoes?”

“Why would I even call them Metal Potatoes if they are not potatoes?” Rezen asked back

“Grrrr…” Macy can’t help but grit her teeth in anger. But in the end, she can only glare at Rezen with a red face without being able to do anything

“Hey, I know you’re beautiful but that wouldn’t work on me. I’m not stupid enough to fall for a honey trap!”

Instead of replying to that and angering herself, Macy decided to ignore the annoying bastard

She isn’t as good as professional researchers but as the daughter of Daydream’s Chairman, she is still quite knowledgeable 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Macy focuses on the ‘metal potato’ and she calls out her gravity-type mystic gem which was purple in color

A small magic circle appeared on Macy’s palm as she casts magic over the potato

In no time, the invisible power of gravity poked a hole in the metal potato. The level of durability is not something special and is mediocre at best

However, the material’s hardness is not the only thing that should be checked

Macy waved her hand and a red stone appeared on top of her palm. She injected her mana into the stone causing it to light up with flames

“Hmm, what’s that?” Rezen asked curiously

“Fire Stones. It can be used on many things but are mostly used as raw materials for mystic items” Macy replied nonchalantly causing Rezen to raise his eyebrows

“Mystic Items?”

As far as Rezen is aware, mages don’t use many weapons or items which is actually what he finds a bit abnormal

The most that mages use was a defensive robe and cold weapons like swords. Those weapons only serve as a catalyst for a mage’s spell

This is the first time he heard the term mystic items

There are various materials in this world, why can’t they create some weapons using the materials that could be found?

“Because only mages at the 7th rank could use these items even if we create them” Macy replied, her focus was still on the metal potato that she heated up and turning it into its liquid state

“Woah…” Macy exclaimed after seeing the liquified metal as it looks quite pretty with its metallic gray luster

“7th rank? Could you tell me more about them?” Rezen asked curiously. Up until now, he doesn’t know much about those legendary mages

Just what makes them so different from mages at the 6th rank and below?

Rezen has his fair share of experience. He had already seen how 5th fusion and 6th fusion rank mages fight but for him, they just have stronger firepower

“When did I ever become your teacher?” Macy grumbled but she still gave an answer

“As you might already know, we are living in what you can consider the ‘mortal world’ of the mages. All of us rely on our mystic gems that resonate with the natural laws”

“That resonance to put into perspective is the world giving us permission to create a supernatural phenomenon. The stronger the resonance is, the bigger supernatural phenomenon we could create”

“Our magic circles on the other hand dictate what supernatural phenomenon would be created”

“Think of our mystic gems as a ticket for an amusement park and our magic circles as what we chose to ride inside”

Rezen listened attentively. Although what Macy said is already something that he knew, it still deepened his understanding to some extent

Putting things in perspective made things clearer

“However, from what I know, mages at the 7th rank are different. They can create supernatural phenomena with just a thought and the level is not something that even I, a 6th fusion rank mage can contend”

“Those mages even with just a thought could erase an entire city. Even just the fluctuation of their emotions might cause an earthquake. That’s why, as much as possible, they have to stay inside their Blessed Land”

“Mystic Items can only be used by mages above 6th fusion rank even if those below it can create them since 7th rank mages can directly send their power on these items. As for us, every magic circle can only do one thing. The magic spells can be controlled to some extent but magic that came out of the magic circle of a fireball would always be a fireball. As such, we are unable to use Mystic Items”

Rezen felt his horizons broadening. To think that things are actually like that

If that’s the case then Rezen can’t wait to reach the legendary 7th rank to try these mystic items

Mataly Forest

The Mataly Forest is a forest near Greenwood City with a distinct characteristic which was the number of magic beasts living inside it

These magic beasts aren’t strong individually but they are high in number. If a person wants to hone their combat skills, this would be a good place to do so

The magic beasts might be a lot but they are also on the weaker side. They have a higher chance of escaping from them rather than a single strong magic beast

Inside the forest, some people can be seen along with the corpses on the ground

In total, there were five corpses and they are either at the 2nd or 3rd rank fusion rank

Around the five corpses were two people. One old and one that is young

“Y-Young Master…. r-run!” The old mage said to a young man with red hair

“Heh… who said that you can run?” One of the people opposite the two said in a playful manner

This side of mages has ten members in total. One of them is at the same rank as the old mage, both of them are at the 4th fusion rank

As for the other nine people with him, all of them are in the 3rd rank

The old mage and the young man only have the collective strength of a 4th and 2nd fusion rank mages. They are no match for the power of the people that wants them dead

“Uncle Rem…” the young man muttered, he was clearly anxious but he was trying to be brave

“Heh… I and your father, that Fierce Fire are friends before but that bastard betrayed me. How dare he covets the woman that I like? To punish him, I would kill his one and only son! Brat, your luck is horrible to meet me in this life!” The 4th fusion rank mage said

The young man was none other than Maze Ceres of the Ceres Family. The one and only son of Fierce Fire

Maze is here as he wanted to gain some experience. Of course, with his status, his father sent some guards to protect him from danger

However, of all of his guards, only one remained. The others were all killed by the enemies and from the look of things, even Maze would die soon enough

“Young Master, just listen to me. Go and run!” The old mage said and Maze gritted his teeth before he attempted to escape

Unfortunately, escaping might be impossible

“[Vine Whip!]”

“[Tremor!]”

“[Paralysis Needle!]”

The nine 3rd fusion rank mages were not just for display

One of them uses the [Tremor] spell to make Maze lose his balance. Another one fired a [Paralysis Needle] that Maze failed to dodge as he hasn’t recovered his balance yet

The last one used the [Vine Whip] spell to hold Maze in his place and prevent him from escaping

The old mage Rem of course tried to help his Young Master but he has his own enemy to take care of

“[Hellscape!]”

Since the old mage focuses on trying to help the Young Master, he was not able to prevent himself from being affected by the [Hellscape] spell

That spell is a soul-type spell. The target would fall into an illusion wherein they would feel as if they were plunged into the deepest pits of hell

Their hearts would be afflicted by fear. Even if the target is aware that they are under an illusion that would not be enough for them to escape from its influence

The person’s soul and willpower must be strong enough. If not, they might just fall into insanity
