"Sshhh!"
Without any surprise, the spears condensed from gold elements pierced directly through the Crimson Giant Tiger's flame armor and plunged into its body.
"ROOOAR!!!"
The arrogant tiger face was overwhelmed by the excruciating pain of the spears entering its flesh, and it couldn't help but let out a pained roar. Bai Xuan was slightly stunned at the sight.
Honestly, he hadn't expected the creature to forgo dodging entirely, choosing only to condense a layer of flame armor around its body. Gold elements were inherently sharp, and Bai Xuan had even coated them with an additional layer of electric arcs, increasing their piercing power by more than a notch.
The fact that it was still alive was a stroke of luck.
The gold element spears had missed its most vital organs.
The Crimson Giant Tiger's gaze toward Bai Xuan no longer held its previous arrogance, but it remained filled with brutality and rage, the murderous intent in its emotions rising significantly.
"By all logic, beasts should have an almost instinctual intuition for danger."
"So why didn't you dodge just now? Is it that this instinct is ineffective against elemental attacks?"
"Or were you simply too confident in yourself?"
Under Su Yue's stunned gaze, Bai Xuan walked toward the Crimson Giant Tiger unhurriedly, completely ignoring the madness in its beastly eyes.
"ROAR!"
Without a moment's hesitation, the Crimson Giant Tiger opened its maw to bite at Bai Xuan's body, but at that very moment, a mysterious force acted upon it, and its movements froze instantly.
Bai Xuan was not at all surprised by this; he continued to examine the Crimson Giant Tiger's body with curiosity, occasionally touching its fur and looking at the Fire Lotus on its forehead.
"The flame power within its body is not weak; converted, it's quite a bit stronger than Su Yue's."
"Is the Fire Lotus on its forehead a rune condensed from its internal flame power? Or does it possess some kind of ability?"
"The muscle condition is good; it must have had a decent physique before the mutation."
"But for a tiger that has awakened fire abilities, its body's resistance to flames must be very high. Would it take longer to cook than normal meat?"
As he examined it, this thought suddenly popped into Bai Xuan's mind.
Hmm, it's worth researching. I'll have them try it when we get back.
After his curiosity was satisfied, Bai Xuan didn't keep the Crimson Giant Tiger waiting any longer; he placed both hands on its neck.
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, the Crimson Giant Tiger lost its life force.
"My apologies. Because my abilities are too strong, I didn't know how to handle you for a moment. After thinking it over, this seemed best."
Bai Xuan patted the Crimson Giant Tiger's head, then made a cutting motion with his right hand, upon which specks of golden light appeared.
Golden light flashed through the air as Bai Xuan severed the Crimson Giant Tiger's two hind legs. The ring in his hand emitted a faint silver glow, and then both the corpse of the Crimson Giant Tiger and the two beast legs in Bai Xuan's hand vanished into thin air.
"A Space Ring?!"
Su Yue, who had regained her senses following the death of the Crimson Giant Tiger, covered her mouth and said in disbelief.
"Has the country already developed Space Rings?"
"Was it done by an Esper who awakened a Space-Type Superpower?"
"But why don't I have one?"
It seemed it wasn't just her; Chen Qiang, Ye Shuirou, and even Huo Yu didn't have anything similar on them.
Could it have just been developed? Was it given to Bai Xuan specifically for this mission?
Su Yue thought this, but she was quickly proven wrong by Bai Xuan's words.
"No, I made this myself."
Bai Xuan didn't know if the country had any Space-Type Espers, nor did he know if they were currently capable of creating storage items like Space Rings. He had made this one specifically last night.
It was to store the corpses of these Mutant Creatures, as well as to hold other spoils from the Nature Reserve.
As for how he made it?
Space is also a part of nature.
Well, perhaps because he had read too many novels, holding onto the concept that "Space is King, Time is Supreme," he had previously never included these two abilities within the scope of nature.
Although the Space Ring was a function of space ability, it wasn't used via the [Nature Authority], but rather through the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
[Left Eye: Divine Oracle]
[What I say is what God says; my decree is the Divine Oracle.]
[God said, "Let there be light!" and there was light. God said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water," and He created the vault, separating the water above from the water below. After the ability is activated, within your capacity to bear it, every word you speak will come true!]
Under the blessing of the "Divine Oracle," he had easily created something like a Space Ring.
As for the cost?
He felt absolutely none. It seemed that even without using this ability, he could create such a thing.
Naturally, there was no cost.
But considering that his [Divine Oracle] ability was also a result of [Nature Authority], it wasn't wrong to equate it to the power of nature.
"???"
Su Yue's face was filled with utter confusion as she asked weakly:
"Are you a space-type Esper?"
Before Bai Xuan could answer, she continued:
"That's not right either, what you used just now was clearly the power of the Venus element."
"Wait, could it be that you're a dual-ability user?"
But she had never heard of anyone awakening two abilities.
"Who knows."
Bai Xuan smiled, then his brows furrowed as he turned and delivered a whip kick.
Amidst a sudden roar, violent air currents surged in all directions.
"BOOM!"
With a thunderous sound, countless sprays of blood bloomed in the air. One could vaguely see a figure being kicked away; the intense force even caused its body to cave in as it slammed into the tree behind it.
"CRACK!"
The terrifying force was too much even for the tree, which snapped clean in half. Only then did the creature finally exhaust its remaining strength and collapse heavily to the ground.
Its entire body was now drenched in blood, making it difficult to discern what kind of creature it was.
The scene fell into sudden silence. Su Yue, who had only just regained her composure from the Crimson Giant Tiger, looked dazed once again.
What just happened?
It seemed like something had been kicked away by Bai Xuan?
No, no, no, not just kicked away—it had been kicked to pieces? Even the tree hadn't been able to withstand that terrifying power and had snapped.
So, Bai Xuan wasn't just a dual-ability user of Venus and space; his physical constitution was also incredibly monstrous.
Come to think of it, that was normal. After all, what kind of Mage didn't have an excellent physique and combat experience? A melee Mage, perhaps?
It was just kicking a Mutant Creature to pieces, just snapping a tree in half.
Yeah, right, like that's nothing!!!
This was definitely not the kind of strength a human should possess!!!
Even if the Reiki Revival had improved human physiques and the strengthening of abilities also drove physical enhancement, there had to be a limit!
How long has it been since the Reiki Revival started? Forget about Mages who awakened elemental abilities; even those who awakened physical-type abilities couldn't possibly reach this level, could they?
