62 The Distress! (2/2)

It was common for Rank-8 Mages to be able to fly. They could also do so in smaller ranks using some Magical Spell, but Rank-8 Mages did not need to cast a Spell to fly.

Their consciousness had strengthened to the point where they could walk on empty air!

Also, with each advancement in ranks after Rank-6, a Mage's body starts to incorporate with the Mana.

Mana starts to become a part of the Human body. It's also the reason that Mages in Rank-6 and above are said to have started breaking the mortal shackles.

A Human's body has too many limitations. And unless they fuse with something with more potential such as Mana itself, they would remain transient.

The process seemed like that of Fighters, but it was different, and this was not the time for such explanations.

Back to the scene, Both Duke Edwin and Leader Podas suddenly had their attention diverted in the middle of the battle.

Duke Edwin was stunned because he had noticed that the kid had so easily defeated a Rank-7 Mage! He had just diverted his attention, and the fight was over! But how!?

'Is the kid also a Rank-8 Mage!? But if that's the case, why does he have no Mana!?...'- Such thoughts sprang Duke Edwin's mind.

Leader Podas, on the other hand, was distracted due to a whole different reason. He could care less about his subordinates when his path to Godhood was on the line!

His attention at this moment was on the pulsating runes. The 'abomination' in the middle had grown up to about 10 meters.

And the power it radiated was already matching that of a Rank-8 Mage. But it still did not seem to be enough as the runes started to shine with a blinding light as to pump more energy into it.

But Podas knew what it meant, and he was delighted at this sight! This process indicated that the ritual was near its completion.

Just a few more moments and he would have everything he wanted in his life!

However, this was not everything that changed. Everyone fighting, be it the Duke's men, Mercenaries, the cult members, or even the Beasts. All of them stopped to look in the direction of the growing monster.

It had a huge humanoid body, but the weird dark matter wriggling around its body would make just about anyone disgusted.

No, the matter was not convulsing around its body. If you looked closer, it seemed as if the monster was entirely made up of that repulsive thing.

However, everyone was looking at it, not because of its horrible appearance, but because of the tremendous increase in its power! At this moment, it resembled a starving Beast sucking all the Mana around it.

Its power grew with leaps as the surrounding people started to feel the pressure.

It already radiated a power that was equivalent to the power of a Rank-8 Mage. And now it started to suck out the energy provided by runes eagerly.

Since the process had accelerated, Ozuls headache increased as well. When before he felt that someone was pricking his brain him with needles, now it felt as if someone was smashing his head with a giant hammer.

Just when Ozul was about to move and grab his leg, the 'monster' made the first move.

At this moment, there was no one to stop Ozul, but that starving monster was closer to the leg. And the worst of all, it seemed to know that this leg was providing him with the energy!

Ozul watched with wide-eyes as that 'abomination' picked up the glass container which held his leg and brought closer to its mouth!...
