8.33% I Just Inherited The Arcane Emperor's Legacy / Chapter 21: Breakthrough

Chapitre 21: Breakthrough

Leo stored his prize in his satchel. He then started walking out of the forest immediately. He knew that the forest was no longer safe. If there were now Magical Beasts even in the Outer Valkyr's Forest, then something big was going to happen. He would need to get stronger to survive.

He returned to the city safely without any trouble. He immediately went back to his cottage to get ready. He came back and saw that Daphne was still in her room, practicing. He entered his room and set everything up.

He placed the 3 Pseudo Beast Cores in front of him and took out the 1st Circle Beast Core. The real Beast Core was a lot bigger and shinier compared to the other ones. He took a deep breath and started.

He first grabbed the Pseudo Beast Cores and squeezed them dry instantly. He went through all of them in less than ten minutes. The magical power that he had absorbed was running through his body.

He forced the magic to enter his mind. He could feel a huge repulsion from the cloud in his mind and the magic that was entering.

He used all his power to force the magic he just absorbed to spread out and wrap the entire cloud in a thin layer. He then started squeezing all of the magic together. He also grabbed the 1st Circle Beast Core as a precaution.

As the magic was slowly fusing with the cloud, Leo absorbed a little magic from the Beast Core to repair the net that was squeezing the cloud together. The cloud was visibly shrinking a little.

The process continued without any hassle for an hour. This was when he felt a huge pressure from the cloud. He knew that he had reached the most important part. The star formation.

He stopped holding back and absorbed the rest of the magic inside the Beast Core. The Beast Core had a massive amount of magical power, and it instantly filled up his entire body. He brought it into his mind and wrapped it around the net to reinforce it.

He could feel the star starting to condense. A bead of sweat was starting to form on his forehead. Before it could even fully form, a ripple of magic flooded his entire body, evaporating the sweat.

He opened his eyes. He could sense the differences in his mind. He was standing in his mind, and he could see a star in the sky, shining brightly. He looked around and could see a lot more clearly compared to the dim lighting of the cloud.

He snapped back to reality. He stood up and could feel changes in his body as well. He felt a little bit stronger. He stretched for a while and looked at the cores. All of them were completely depleted.

He sat back down to test his strength. As a 1 Star Mage, he would be able to cast beginner magic like Magic Bullet and Magic Arrow. While this might sound simple, it could damage Magical Beasts from long range. This would make it easier for him to go into the forest and kill beasts without risking his life.

Spells cast after having stars were completely different compared to casting spells cast before forming one. Without a star, he would have to draw a magical circle and say an incantation. This was because it was harder to control magic without a star.

With the star, the magic circle as well as the incantation could just be done in his mind. All he would have to do is think about casting a spell and as long as he hadn't pressured his mind into using too much magic, he would be able to cast the spell.

He calmly summoned a magical bullet to his hand. He didn't shoot it anywhere because it would be destroying his house. So he took his knife out and put it on the ground. He shot the magic bullet into the knife.

The bullet pierced the knife before flying to the ground. He looked at it again and saw that the bullet had made a hole in the dagger.

He smiled. He had finally become a proper mage. He suddenly realized something. He would now have to start learning how to use Aura to cover up that he was a mage. He couldn't let anyone know that he was actually a mage after all.

He decided that he would start to train his Aura till he became an Aura Knight before going back to only training his magic. He would obviously also train his magic as well.

The next day, he went back into the forest. He was going to look for an actual opponent to test his magic. He also needed a few Beast Cores to train his magic.

Before entering the forest, he sat at the inn again, looking out for information. This time, the inn was completely packed. He could see that the people were talking about what they encountered.

"Did you hear about the dead 1st Circle Magical Beast in the forest?"

Leo heard that and immediately realized that he might have been part of the problem.

"Yes. I heard from a friend. You know what this means right?" One person said. "It means the Outer Forest is going to now have 1st Circle Magical Beasts as well. The only time that happened was 7 years ago."

Suddenly, Leo realized that the discussion wasn't about the dead Magical Beast. It was more important than that. It was about the significance of a real Magical Beast entering the forest.

Chapitre 22: Power

Leo was very careful when he entered the forest. He was also trying his best to get as far away from other mercenaries as well. Normally, he didn't encounter any of them because the forest was such a huge place.

But he was being careful because he was trying to use magic for the first time. He could not let anyone see what he was doing. He was also being careful because he was going to be hunting Magical Beasts.

He slowly walked into the forest. As he did, he cast a body-strengthening spell on him as a precaution. It would be a good idea to be fast even if he was going to maintain a distance.

After doing that, he scoured the ground to see if he could see any prominent tracks. He saw a pair of heavy footprints of an animal that had hooves. He could only hope that it was a Magical Beast. He started following the trail.

As he followed the trail, he realized that it lead into the forest. It wasn't going into the Inner Forest, but it was as far as he had ever gone.

He remembered the way back so he wasn't worried about that. He was worried that he was going after a real Magical Beast. If it was a Beast that was heavy enough to leave prints like the one he had seen, it would definitely be a better option to leave it alone.

He wanted to leave the place and go back the way he came from when he heard a sound. He immediately jumped up and grabbed a branch. He climbed up the branch and scoured the place to find the source of the noise.

The noise was a loud thump. It was from a huge rhino. The rhino had a huge horn on its head that glowed a light brown. As it thumped its feet, it stared him down. Each thump made the earth shake.

Leo pointed his hand toward the rhino.

"Magic Bullet." He shot a magic bullet at the rhino.

The bullet hit the rhino in its forehead. The bullet left behind a small dent, but it was negligible. The bullet just seemed to make the rhino angry. It lifted its front legs and slammed into the ground.

The ground quaked. He could see the ripples from the center of the mini-earthquake. The rippled quickly reached the tree that he had climbed on for safety. The tree started shaking, and he realized that it was going to fall down.

He jumped back from the tree to the ground. He made sure to jump away from the rhino. He looked at the rhino, trying to figure out his best plan. He could try to escape, but he wanted to see if he would be able to kill it with his new powers.

"Magic Bullet!" He tried to hit it again. He figured that the armor would give in eventually. This time the bullet hit the rhino in the forehead again, but in a slightly different place.

"Shit."

He didn't realize that his accuracy also made a difference. The bullet was too fast for the rhino to dodge, but its power and accuracy weren't good enough for it to be a threat.

The rhino let out a small grunt and started charging toward him. He quickly estimated how long it would take it to get to him. He started firing Magic Bullets at it while running backward away from it.

The bullets would hit the rhino in the head, but it would never hit the same place again. This was until one of the bullets hit its eye. It hit the right eye lid and pierced through it. The bullet wasn't able to reach the brain, but it partially blinded the rhino.

Roar.

The rhino made a huge sound and started rampaging. Instead of charging at Leo, it started making as much damage to the landscape as possible. The earthquake it was causing made him lose his footing.

He immediately got up and aimed at the rhino again. It was crying in pain and had just turned back at him to charge at him once more. He fired another time, aiming for the same vicinity as the eye he had just hit.

He started firing bullets with all his magic power. He kept firing them at the rhino while it was charging toward him. He didn't even try to run away. He was putting all his attention and focus into aiming for the eye. He concentrated very heavily, making him form sweat on his forehead.

One of the bullets hit the same spot again, this time piercing the brain. The rhino didn't even whimper. It just skid to a stop right in front of him. He sighed and sat on the corpse of the rhino to rest.

"My life is too difficult." He said to himself.

After taking a short break, he took his knife out to claim his loot. He was also trying to take the rhino's horn to sell to Trevor. As for the core, he could use it for himself.

Leo cut out the horn and took out the Beast Core from the rhino's body. After doing this, he returned to the city. He went to visit Trevor.

Trevor saw him coming his way and smiled. It had been a while since he had come by and Trevor needed new materials.

"How is it going? Did you get me any new herbs?" Trevor asked jovially.

Leo shook his head. He took out the rhino horn instead.

"Do you know if this is worth anything?" He asked Trevor.

Trevor sighed. "I didn't think this would be coming this quickly. How did you kill a Magical Beast?"
