Chapter 513: Battle Between Rank Five Massive Beasts
To the white giant bird of Rank Four or above flying away on the other side of the trial zone, Sein and Leena were as insignificant as grains of rice—tiny and inconspicuous.
The bird had no intention of targeting the couple; in fact, it did not seem to notice them at all.
“Want to go over and take a look?” Leena asked softly.
Sein smiled wryly in response. “How can we get across? If we show up now, we’ll probably be swallowed by those beasts. There’s no way we can possibly fight our way through the beast horde and reach the other trial zone.”
Leena understood what Sein was saying.
Yet, solutions are often born of necessity. As two mages, known for their intelligence, careful consideration might reveal another way.
This was how they had managed to get through the past few years.
Sein was only venting his frustration.
Taking another glance at the distant translucent energy barrier, he began to ponder their options.
Before Sein could devise a solution, an unexpected event occurred, making any further plans unnecessary.
After all, the other side of the trial zone was not meant for Rank One creatures like them!
Suddenly, another tremendous rumble was heard.
Beyond the energy barrier, a colossal humanoid creature resembling both an ape and a savage giant slowly emerged among the tall peaks.
This gray-skinned giant towered thousands of meters high, dwarfing even the white giant bird that was previously flying in the sky.
From a distance, Sein estimated the giant’s height to be around two thousand meters.
The overwhelming pressure exerted by its sheer size surpassed that of ordinary Rank Four creatures.
In Sein’s experience, he had only felt a similar oppressive force once before—at the outset of the Viridian Venom Flame World war, when he witnessed Master Gregory forcibly tearing apart the planar barrier!
Could this be a Rank Five creature?!
The appearance of the giant Rank Five ape was just the beginning.
Amidst a muffled hiss, the world trembled. A black earth dragon, towering about a thousand meters tall, though its full length was obscured, emerged from between the mountains on the other side.
Its head resembled that of a black dragon, albeit without wings, and its body was lizard-like.
This dragon could be a hybrid of the native dragons of the Magus World.
To confront and roar at the gray giant ape, its strength was undoubtedly on par, marking it as another formidable Rank Five creature.
In the Magus World, mysterious, rare, and powerful creatures of Rank Four and above were surprisingly common, thanks to its strong planar foundation!
The number of such creatures within the Knight Continent alone was likely substantial.
These Rank Four and above creatures were the treasured powers of the Magus World.
Only those who had reached Rank Four could establish their presence in the Magus World and participate in the Magus Alliance Conference.
Any existence below Rank Four was as insignificant as ants.
The encounter between these two Rank Five behemoths was clearly more than a mere reunion.
Compared to human knights and mages, who were more restrained and followed the rules, the magic beasts of Magus World acted more impulsively, guided by their instincts.
It was unrealistic to expect a group of magic beasts to sit down and resolve disputes through discussion.
If magic beasts were as rational as mages, then this world would not have been known as the Magus World in the primordial era—it would have been called Magic Beast World instead.
The two Rank Five creatures approaching from different directions were clearly old adversaries.
When enemies meet, tensions inevitably run high.
The black earth dragon roared, unleashing its dragon might that swept through like a flood.
Shielded by the translucent energy barrier, Sein and Leena were spared the full force but were still shaken by the terrifying roar.
On the other side of the barrier, the magic beasts near the spatial vortex either collapsed or fell to their knees in submission to the dragon’s might, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths, injuries, and trampling.
“Here’s our chance,” Leena suddenly said.
However, before she could move, Sein held her back.
Leena had never experienced an interplanar war, so she was oblivious to the dangers posed by the combat between beings of Rank Four and above.
In battles involving such powerful entities, except for demigod-level experts who had immense confidence in their own strength, it was best for other creatures to stay as far away as possible.
Even a minor aftershock from such a battle could prove fatal to any Rank One or Two creature.
This explained why, in the Astral Realm, creatures of Rank Four and above were revered as gods by the ignorant extraplanar beings.
Sein stopped Leena because he was fully aware of the catastrophic nature of battles between Rank Five entities.
Leena, perceptive as ever, immediately grasped the gravity of the situation without needing an explanation. The seriousness of Sein’s expression said it all.
The two continued to suppress their aura as they silently observed the clash of the two Rank Five creatures from behind the foliage near the energy barrier.
Sein pulled a crystal ball, specifically designed for recording, from his spatial storage.
Opportunities to observe, much less record, a battle between two Rank Five creatures from such proximity were rare.
The footage captured by this crystal ball could be the most valuable discovery at the edge of this trial zone.
Even Master Lorianne would find a close-up of two Rank Five creatures locked in combat intriguing.
The much larger giant gray ape remained unfazed by the overwhelming dragon’s might.
Its powerful life level was sufficient to withstand and neutralize most of the dragon’s intimidating aura. Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
Even the dragon’s roar served merely as the declaration of battle for the great ape.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The giant ape beat its chest, its fists larger than a mountain peak.
A series of powerful energy fluctuations radiated outward from the ape.
This demonstrated that battles between magic beasts involved more than mere brute force and savagery.
As a spellcaster, Sein quickly identified that the giant ape was fighting with the power of sound waves and its qi.
The true essence of these powers was likely tied to the power of laws that creatures above Rank Four could harness—complexities that were beyond Sein’s current understanding.
The crystal ball emitted a soft blue glow as it silently recorded the scene unfolding in front of it.
As the two Rank Five creatures gathered their energy to its peak, a battle was on the brink of erupting!
