“Finally, some crows!” Rezen said happily after finally encountering crow-type magic beasts


    There were around ten of them around Rezen but the weird thing was that even though they can see him, the crows were not attacking


    It’s not like every magic beast would attack everyone on sight but still, most of them do that


    However, not only were the crows not attacking Rezen, they even seem to think that Rezen is the same specie as them


    That is all because of the dark aura surrounding Rezen


    The 3rd fusion spell of the Crow-type [Crow’s Aura]. It’s a spell that changes the user’s aura to be the same as crows


    The higher the grade of this spell, the harder it is to notice that the user was actually not a crow


    Of course, this is only for the magic beasts with low intelligence since the [Crow’s Aura] doesn’t really change the mage’s body to that of a crow


    No matter how much Rezen gives off the feeling that he is a crow if he doesn’t look like one, who would believe that he is one?


    Fortunately, all the crows that Rezen encountered this time were just 3rd fusion rank magic beasts. If they were a level higher, they would notice that Rezen is not part of their kind


    Since hisprehension reached the peak of the 3rd rank, Rezen easily learned spells from the books that Rain and Florine provided to him


    Rezen waved his hand and a handful of Spring Almonds appeared on top of his palm


    The almonds immediately attracted the attention of the crows and Rezen threw the almonds on the ground


    The crows immediately pped their wings as they fought to eat as many Spring Almonds as they can


    This particr type of Crows is called Nightmare Crows. They have a strong sense of collectiveness against foreign enemies but in the face of benefits, they wouldn’t hesitate to turn on each other


    Rezen grinned as he approached one of the Nightmare Crows. His crow and soul-type gem floated in front of him as he created magic circles


    One magic circle was purplish ck in color which was the crow-type and the other was purple which was the soul-type


    The two kinds of magic worked together to let Rezen cast his spell


    “[Crow Envement]” Rezen muttered as he had his spellnd on the crow


    That crow instantly turned its head towards him as it cried out, trying to resist the spell’s effect


    That crow’s cries attracted the attention of the other crows and all their gaze turned on the two


    In return, Rezen waved his hand again as he threw another handful of Spring Almonds


    Instantly, the selfish Nightmare Crows ignored their kind that was crying to eat the almonds


    These crows knew instinctively that the Spring Almonds were good stuff. The almonds can increase their talent and the chances of reaching a higher rank would rise


    Why would they care about one of their kind when they have such good stuff in front of them?


    Rezen’s soul was hit by the crow’s resistance and he gritted his teeth. The process of enving magic beasts can range from easy to life-threatening


    If the crow was a magic beast at ungraded rank, Rezen only needed a little bit of time and effort


    However, the crow that he was targeting is at the same rank as him and only his crow-type gem was at the 3rd rank


    The crow-type gem is merely aplimentary gem that would make it easier to enve crow-type magic beasts


    The main factor was still the soul-type gem and also the strength of Rezen’s soul


    Since he was stillcking in the gem department, it should be almost impossible for him to enve a crow at the 3rd rank but Rezen has his cheat


    While Rezen and the crow’s souls shed, the former suddenly swallowed something and it was none other than his recovery pill!


    The envement process involves the soul and would even injure it at times. If the mage’s soul cannot hold on, they would either get their souls destroyed and die or they would stop the envement process and fail. Not only would their souls be injured, but they would also fail to enve a magic beast that would want to kill them out of anger


    “This still hurts!” Rezen said through gritted teeth. While the pain in his soul would instantly vanish after taking a recovery pill, it still hurts to get one’s soul injured


    Not to mention, this wouldn’t happen only once since Rezen’s gem iscking


    Cold sweat formed all over his body. His face would pale after receiving a soul injury but would turn rosy pink again as soon as he consumed a recovery pill


    It was a continuous cycle. After all, even if the mage has a soul and gems at the peak of their rank, it was still not easy to enve a magic beast at their rank. What more for Rezen thatcks in the gem department?


    Finally, after minutes of grinding, Rezen finished enving a crow


    “T-this wouldn’t do… although this is a good chance to increase my pain tolerance but the pain on the soul is just different…” Rezen muttered


    Perhaps, if it was physical pain, he could endure it better. However, the most painful type of pain has always been the one rted to the soul


    Rezen is still just growing, he stillcks experience. To ask him to constantly injure his soul several times just to tame one magic beast… he might still break down mentally


    The crow that Rezen enved from resisting turned affectionate. Itnded on top of Rezen’s shoulder and rub its head on his cheek


    “Little bastard, acting coy now as if you didn’t make me almost desire death” Rezen scolded while lightly hitting the crow’s cheek with a finger


    As if the crow can understand what he said, it lowered its head sadly causing Rezen to chuckle before he stared at the other crows


    What should he do…


    “Hmm?”


    Rezen suddenly thought of an idea as an apple appeared on top of his palm. This is the same apple that he used to knock General Leon unconscious


    What if he uses this on these crows? What if they are in aa? Would that make it easier for Rezen to enve them?


    While thinking of that, Rezen licked his lips and he threw it on the crows


    That apple looks and feels the same as other apples but so what? Crows would eat everything they could


    The apple might beckingpared to Spring Almonds but the food is still food and they hurriedly flocked to the apple to eat it


    The crow on Rezen’s shoulder wanted to eat with them but he stops it lest it also turned into a sleeping beauty


    As soon as the crows took a bite, their bodies instantly stiffened as they lost their consciousness


    “Please don’t disappoint me!” Rezen said as he cast his spell again


    “[Crow Envement!]” Rezen muttered and he targeted one of the nine sleeping crows


    To his delight, not even the slightest bit of resistance was offered by that crow!


    Even the crow’s automatic response to danger seems to have been turned off!


    “Great! Great!” Rezen said happily and he moved forward to enve the remaining crows


    After enving them, the crows were still unconscious but Rezen simply fed them with recovery pills and they regained their consciousness


    Using a recovery pill along with the Poisoned Apple was Rezen’s trick and gamble against Leon yesterday


    The crows soon opened their eyes with a change in personality as they all turn into Rezen’s ves


    The crows all flew around Rezen and he nned on trying a spell together with the crows when his senses picked up the movement of mana


    When Rezen raised his head, he saw ck dots in the sky


    Since the Mountain Range was foggy, the visibility rate was low, making it harder to see things


    However, in the sky, the fog was being cleared up or pushed back the more time that passed


    “Hmm? Wind Sparrows again? What’s with them? Do they have the trait of fighting each other that I don’t know about?”


    Rezen encountered berserk Wind Sparrows yesterday and he encountered another group right now


    Is this their racial trait or something?


    Although Rezen doesn’t know what is happening, his greed still got the better of him as he runs to the location where the sparrows were fighting


    Fortunately, it wasn’t that far from him and his newly acquired ten Nightmare Crows gives him more confidence than before


    As long as he doesn’t particrly provoke them to earn their full attention, he should be rtively safe


    Rezen had his crows spread to serve as his eyes. With the connection that he has with them, he could know where they are and if he wants to, he could give his location to his crows which were pretty convenient
