Magus Supremacy

The level 8 beast was extremely difficult to defeat, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

It took the combination of five powerful people before they could take the beast down and in the process, the once beautiful forest was destroyed as trees were seen uprooted, the whole place was burning due to high level fire and lightning magic.

Dead animals lay scattered across the broken ground, which was torn apart for several meters. Craters dotted the landscape, and the acrid smell of burning trees and branches filled the air, stinging everyone's noses.

In the middle of this forest, a huge towering lion-like beast was seen with a huge arrow made of Earth sticking out its head while the head was blazing with fire. Then a huge cut was seen in its stomach with its neck having a huge hole in it.

Around the beast, two figures lay on the ground, unmoving, while the remaining three rushed over in concern.

"Licht! Father!" Langris and Charla said at once as they dashed towards Licht who was laying on the ground unmoving.

"Grey!" Old man Jankis shouted as he also rushed towards where he was laying unmoving.

"We are okay!" Licht and Grey said at once as they lifted their hands up when Charla angrily controlled a vine in the area and whipped Licht in the arse.

"Ow ow ow ow!" Licht shouted as he suddenly sprung up from the ground while rubbing his arse. "What was that for?"

"That is what you get for making me worried, you dumbass husband of mine!" Charla replied with a scoff when she saw Grey looking at her weirdly. "And what are you looking at you human?!" She asked, lifting a vine up.

"No nothing ma!" Grey quickly shouted with his hands held out.

"Good!" Charla replied.

'This woman definitely has a screw loose,' Grey thought.

"What was with you both hitting the ground at once anyway?" Jankis asked.

Grey just rubbed his hair in embarrassment. "I was just dead tired. Fighting that beast took a lot from me both mentally and physically so I was exhausted and I could feel my mana dwindling."

"Well you both shouldn't have made us worry." Charla said.

"I feel bad for the forest now. It got destroyed in all these." Licht sighed.

"So it definitely means you all committed a sin by destroying nature, how are you going to punish yourselves?!" Grey asked.

When Charla used her vine and grabbed him by the neck bringing him closer. "It doesn't count if we are trying to protect the town you dumbass!"

"But it counts when I mistakenly do it." Grey mumbled while struggling to be set free.

"What was that?!" Charla asked.

"Nothing ma'am!" Grey replied sharply.

"Ha! What a wimp." Noir laughed and then Grey was thrown down by Charla.

"Let's head back to the town and think of what to do next." Licht said and then they slowly picked themselves up to head back to town.

The earlier fight had driven them deep into the forest, so it took them nearly ten minutes to return to town.

Stepping foot into the town, they could see hundreds of bodies all around both from the beasts and the elves. No matter how hard they had tried to save the elves, some still perished. Seeing this, Licht and Charla gritted their teeth in frustration, while Grey simply sighed.

The town was almost crumbling down as houses were destroyed, trees were bent, craters everywhere and the smell of destruction wafting into their noses.

The people seeing them walk back with injuries on their face and bodies but no beast behind them, all cheered loudly as it meant that the battle was won despite the losses they suffered.

Although there were many elves in the town, everyone knew one another, making each loss deeply personal. As Grey, Licht, Langris, Charla, and Jankis made their way back to the palace, they watched the remaining elves solemnly gather the fallen.

"Thank you for saving us!" The elves said anytime the five warriors passed by them and then a little elf ran towards the group.

Licht was about to pick her up when she swerved around and ran towards Grey who quickly picked her up.

"Thank you uncle demon!" Eclat smiled and Grey ruffled her hair with a smile on his face.

"You are welcome cutie!" Grey replied and then he let her back down while her mother walked forward.

"Thank you for saving us… Grey is it?" She asked.

"Yes!" He replied, scratching his hair.

"I'll be sure to remember that." She replied. "C'mon Eclat, let's go."

"Bye uncle, demon!" Eclat said as she waved while she and her mother decided to leave the palace to go get things done in the town.

"I guess you are also building your popularity here huh." Licht said with a chuckle as they walked into the palace and decided to rest while thinking of what they would do next.

Actually, it was only Grey that went to rest while the rest walked around helping the elves including Licht who was seen using his long whip help lift bodies of elves and place them gently somewhere away while the beasts' bodies were flung roughly towards a spot and hunched together waiting to be burnt.

While all this was going on, Licht suddenly stopped and looked up with a smile on his face.

'It's like you knew he would come here and help us. That's why you said I should treat him nice and train him. I'm sure that if he wasn't here, we wouldn't have won this fight.

Although I might win on my own, the losses we would suffer would be greater than this. So thank you for helping us from the shadows and I hope to see you soon my dear friend.' Licht thought and he went back to helping around.
