Chapter 34

After a few minutes, Monica regained consciousness. She started looking around, not knowing what was going on.

At this point, Bolo came up to her and said.

- "I spoke to your Master a moment ago, he said that he would not be able to talk to you anytime soon, but don't worry about him. Additionally, I promised him that I would take care of you, so if you ever need any resources or advice, come to me directly, and I will help you. "

At these words, Monica slightly nodded her head, probably still confused by what happened.

After a while, Olena returned to the room. She was surprised that the defensive formation was active, so she quickly asked Bolo.

- "Master, what is it, why did you activate the formations." She asked.

-"You do not need to know. Remember from now on, this student gets the highest level 0 authority. Besides, when you get things done, visit me, and I'll explain everything to you. " Ignoring Olen's astonished gaze, Bolo vanished as if he had never been there.

At this, Great Elder Olena was completely surprised by what had happened, but decided to do as she was told.

She approached Monica and handed her a small sign.

- "This is your cult ID, unfortunately only now I found out that you are supposed to get level 0 permissions that are on par with mine. So for now you have to settle for a level 5 authority. " She said in an apologetic voice.

A given level of entitlement allowed the receipt of the given resources and knowledge, as well as the status of the Nine Heavens Academy.

-"No problem." Monica said with slight flushes on her face.

- "Ah yes, now I will take you to your mansion, and you will receive the entire schedule tomorrow."

After that, she took Monica to her quarters. Once this was done, she went to her Master as soon as possible to find out what it was all about.

-----------------

At about the same time, John reached his destination.

- "There should be two more months to this event. Hmm, I'm just training in the surrounding woods for magical beasts, after all, I haven't completely felt this body yet. " He said softly to himself.

John decided to move towards the forest, which was the habitat of magical beasts.

Most of the beasts there were at the Silver level, and the rulers at the Gold level.

For most people under the Gold level, going there would be suicide. Only true geniuses would be able to fight a magic beast of the same level.

In this case, magical beasts equally develop their three centers of power. So the magic beast on the gold level has a body, core and soul on the gold level.

Another important aspect of magical beasts is their bloodline.

The vast majority of magical beasts on Mortal Continents have an Ordinary lineage. Such beasts will usually never be able to exceed the Orichalckum level, but sometimes there are exceptions.

A higher pedigree than the Ordinary is the Elite.

Magical beasts of Elite lineage will be able to break through the mortal realm by reaching the King's level, but it will be extremely difficult for them to continue to grow in strength.

Another lineage of a higher class is the Royal and Imperial families. Then there is Legendary and Mythical, and above them is Holy.

The last three are the Heavenly, Divine, and Immortal lineage.

Although the beast may have a Heavenly lineage, this does not mean that it is a natural Heavenly being.

The true naturally born Heavenly beings are usually Immortal beasts and sometimes Divine beasts.

Therefore, the pedigree only means the level they will be able to easily reach, and whether they will achieve more in the future depends on themselves and their happiness.

All this is related only to magical beasts of other races, although they may be segregated due to their lineage, and it will affect their abilities, they do not belong to the magical beasts.

After about two hours of walking from the city, John reached the edge of the forest.

This forest was called the Red Tiger Forest due to the fact that its master was the Red Tiger, known for its destructive power.

He was not disturbed by people for two reasons. The first is his fairly high fame and countless cases of daredevils trying to attack him, and the second is the deal.

He made this deal with the surrounding cities, which in return for sending him resources will not be attacked by the hordes of beasts that previously visited very often.

- "Okay, it's time to get your body up and running. Mainly the herds of Wolves with A Hundred Fangs and Water Buffaloes live nearby. They will be perfect for my training in the coming months. " John said as he prepared for the fight. And at this point, the ignorant beasts did not know that total doom was coming for them.

Time passed slowly and day by day John went further deeper into the forest, encountering stronger and stronger beasts, which were not a problem for him anyway.

Unfortunately, he came across a living Anomaly.

There are high risks involved when a beast tries to evolve its lineage, one of which is the ability to develop into an Anomaly.

Usually the Anomaly dies almost immediately after birth, but sometimes it survives, although it usually takes a very short time.

Even so, in this short period of time the only purpose of Anomaly is destruction, I attack every living thing and if you are not powerful enough you will be just another corpse in its path.

- "Fuck, how does this Anomaly still live in such a poor environment, I understand if it were a Heavenly or even Earthly Continent, but on the Mortal Continent it should not be possible." Meanwhile, John was running from Anomaly, which was healing him with great ferocity.

- [Probably someone must have had a hand in it. Maybe it's some dark magician's experiment, because I really can't believe it happened naturally.] John thought. Despite being tired of running for over three consecutive days, John was still thinking soberly and analyzing his situation.

After all, if this was an experiment by some dark magician, and he didn't play it right, it could end very badly for him.

That's why he was on the run, instead of fighting Anomaly frontally. Another reason why he decided to escape is the mission, and more precisely, the mission issued by the system.

[MAKE YOU ESCAPE THE ANOMALY OR MAKE THE ANOMALY Vanish NATURALLY.]

[AWARDS: UNKNOWN.]

There were two system messages in front of John's eyes. According to the information he gathered about the system, it was noted that usually the award is given directly. But in this case the award was labeled 'UNKNOWN' which made John very curious.

Therefore, he ran a very defined path. From the side view of the viewer, his movements were completely random.

In fact, John had completely planned the route so that it had as little life force and mana as possible so that the Anomaly would disappear.

And his tactics were already paying off. Previously, the black Anomaly was the size of a large cargo truck and at this point was only the size of a passenger car.

It didn't take long and the Anomaly stopped and began to fall apart.

The anomaly has no survival instinct or anything that would force them to survive, therefore, although she chased John, she did not care about the decrease in her power.

The only thought was to kill everything she saw.

As the Anomaly started falling apart, John heard a system message.

[Congratulations to the user on completing the secret mission Anomalous Escape.]

[User managed to get S + grade, bonus is included.]

[The reward for completing the mission is as follows: 10 grams of Powdered Water from the Mountain of Heaven, Forest Fairy Soul Drop and 'UNKNOWN ROCK']

[Bonus for completing S + missions: Egg of Error and 100 system stones.]

Instead of worrying about what he got, John quickly moved towards the disintegrating Anomaly.

Already on the move, he began to sing a song in the language of the laws. When the singing approached the Anomaly, it would turn into a black cube by a magical movement.

- "Ugh, luckily I would have missed the chance to get the Anomaly Core otherwise."

John said smugly to himself. The Anomaly Core is known only to a few people, and acquiring it requires a lot of skill.

The core of the Anomaly can only come from a natural Anomaly and not caused by someone, although this still does not exclude the possibility that someone participated in the creation of this Anomaly.

This core will be very useful when breaking the mana core to King level.

For now, John has set these thoughts aside and looked at the rewards for the assignment.

When he saw what he got, he almost barked, he almost hit the ground with shock.
