The snow bear (headless) copsed to the ground as his blood sshed while painting the snow like a masterpiece designed by a talented artist.


    Apart from the sounds of the air, no sound resounded in the environment.


    "Satisfied?" After ten seconds, Alvine stared at Linn and asked dryly.


    "...Hmm, I saw. It is because of these immortal soldiers that you probably inherited our former leader who makes you so sure of yourself. But if I can advise you, you must not rely only on someone else''s powers. In short, I must admit that you exceeded my expectations. Let''s see how many emperor beasts you will manage with these immortal soldiers." She advised a little Alvine before snapping her fingers to activate dozens of deep blue gates.


    At the same time, Alvine frowned when he noticed a snow bearing out in each of the fifteen portals.


    Seeing the fifteen emperor bears in front of him, Alvine had an ironic smile. ''If I don''t be a little serious, this girl will never wake up in her whimsical daydream.'' He said to himself while making this decision after a bit of reflection.


    He then tapped the shadow soldier''s shoulder in heavy armor. "Stay here; I will personally take care of these emperor beasts." He said, addressing his shadow soldier kneeling next to him.


    As the soldier had not yet evolved, he could not speak. But he still nodded after hearing his master''s order.


    ''Hm? Is he going to fight this horde himself? It might be a little problematic for him. Even if these beasts are weak, as a summoner, he is also as weak as the others summoners without his invocations. Even if Alvinos differed from the others summoners, it was understandable since he was a primordial mage like us.'' She says to herself, preparing to intervene at any time.


    But she soon frowned when she noticed an ordinary sword in Alvine''s hand.


    What is he ying? Instead of using the primordial weapon he has in his possession, he uses his metal affinity to create a basic sword. Sigh, and I, who thought he was modest, was too hasty in my judgments.'' She contends to herself.


    But the next moment, she froze on the spot with her mouth wide open when she saw Alvine''s actions.


    Alvine did not use his mana to cast offensive spells nor strengthen his body with his mana but instead infused his sword with his scarlet aura.


    The next moment, he fiercely charged toward the bear pack, appeared instantly above the bear closest to him, and decapitated him cleanly by showing even faster agility than his shadow soldier.


    After that, he didn''t even look at the bear''s corpse. Before his first victim fell to the ground, his body shed again as he appeared between two Bears; and killed them instantly.


    "How interesting he is. I now understand why he underestimates emperor beasts. At the same time, it is not surprising to see him as powerful as his peers since he is withdy Sabrina. Sigh, I don''t even dare to imagine how much he led a life of hell by staying with this sadistic obsessed by fight! Maybe Sabrina''s obsession forced him to stay with me." She said while watching Alvine''s battle as a spectator.


    Since Alvine''s first victim, she guessed that Alvine''s opponents would not be problematic for him. And this feeling became more apparent when he saw Alvine''s following targets sumb easily.


    The reason that led her to believe that Alvine had undergone intensive training with Sabrina was due to Alvine''s swordsman skills, who did not make unnecessary movements.


    ''Each movement he makes with his sword is intended to kill his target and not for the wounded. To can be so indifferent by taking a life, I imagine that he did not live afortable life. He had probably killed millions of times to acquire such a will as a warrior. Fufu~, he''s be more and more interesting.''


    While she said thesest words in her thoughts, Alvine had, at the same time, killed thest snow bear.


    -p, p, p...


    "Congrattions for showing me such a unique show. I didn''t know that you were a mage warrior even though you were able to use invoking immortal soldiers. Normally, the summoners do not really like to melee fight but rather let their invocations take care of all their enemies in their ces while helping them with a few boosts and so on." She approached Alvine with these words.


    Alvine cleaned the blood on the de of his sword with a ball of water while responding to her. "Hm? I''m not so good in melee fights as in magic. But since I have not recovered all my previous energy, I cannot afford to waste it unnecessarily against emperor beasts."


    "Sigh, I had forgotten this arrogant side of you. It doesn''t matter; do you want to continue, or do you prefer to rest before engaging in another battle? And don''t worry; I have already located a divine tiger as your next adversary. Even if he is a low-ranking divine beast, it would be better for you to rest before starting a fight against him." As usual, Linn did not take Alvine''s statements seriously.


    But thetter no longer tried to convince her. After all, Alvine could guess that she wouldn''t believe it no matter what he said.


    "I''m not exhausted. I will end this boring misunderstanding as soon as possible before I start training seriously." He murmured as he looked at the imposing hill a few kilometers from them.


    Thanks to his magical perception, which is no longer limited because of Linn''s strange powers, he could explore the entire forest that stretched hundreds of kilometers away without too much trouble.


    But contrary to what Linn had said, Alvine noticed that the tiger in question was not the most powerful, but the Minotaur he kept. In other words, the tiger was not the leader but one of the guards of the giant Minotaur with ash ck skin.


    ''Finally, this is exactly the kind of enemy I was looking for it. With such muscles and such size, I am sure that this Minotaur will have no trouble countering most of my physical and magic. And the most important thing is that his strength far exceeds mine!''


    Noticing this, Alvine did not care about the others under fifes; he sprinted directly to the enormous cave on top of the mountain without worrying about Linn, who did not follow him.


    But even if he did not want to take care of the divine tigers, who were even weaker than the four generals of the Garyth ntation, it did not mean that thetter would ignore him just because he was not interested in them.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Not to mention letting him reach their leaders, it was already unforgivable for them to see a simple emperor mage enter their territories! Therefore, before he reached the top of the mountain, he first had to take care of the divine beasts that blocked his way!


    "What does an insect like you do on my territory? Me, the great Groom!" The first tiger, who had just interposed between Alvine and his destination, had sparkling ck fur, beast fangs that passed his chin, and a gigantic size of more than ten meters.


    ''The worst decision for me is to continue the fight against this little doggie. I have to kill him with a single attack. Given how he underestimates me, it shouldn''t be a problem.'' Alvine briefly analyzed the situation without slowing down.


    When he reached thirty meters from the tiger, thetter roared towards him, and hundreds of the des of winds rushed towards Alvine, following the divine will of the tiger.


    "Tss, pathetic," Alvine murmured when he saw the hundreds of wind des target him.


    Just as the tiger''s attack was about to impact him, he jumped into the air, leaving a small crater behind him, and flew to the tiger. But contrary to his expectations, the wind des changed their trajectory and pursued him again. At the same time, a tiger that had not moved from the beginning shed towards him like a sh with his ws soaked in a golden aura.


    ''Hm? A pincer attack? I see. Was that his goal from the start? Sigh, it doesn''t matter;'' As he retorted these words, two tiny pearls formed in front of and behind him. One was grayish, while the other was ethereal blue; instead of a deep blue, like the ones before.


    He naturally creates the grayish pearl with the elemental affinity of the earth. But the other was a new pearl that Alvine had not yet been able to show.


    "What can you aplish with such an insignificant power?" The tigerughed when he saw the two ''inoffensive'' pearls swirling around his prey.


    That motivated him to shred as quickly as possible and transform the intruder into his main dish.


    But without realizing it, his visual field gradually blurred while he was ten meters to reach Alvine.


    In hisst moments, he could vaguely see the wind des impacting against a rock wall, which appeared nowhere behind his target''s back that had a golden core in his right hand, covered with blood. But he could neither locate the other ethereal blue pearl nor understand why he was in agony. Everything had passed so quickly that he had not noticed that Alvine had already recovered his vital core from when the other pearl disappeared into his visual field.


    Alvine, who wanted to finish faster with the tiger, was surprised to the point that he stopped for a while to look at the pearl that was still swirling around the tiger''s core in his hand.


    "Interesting, as their non-re differentiate them, pearls made with a rare affinity have nothing to do with others. I wonder what I would be able to do once I could form pearls with my deviant affinities, such as blood affinity or other deviant affinities that I will get in the future. But for now, let''s first take care of getting the affinity of time to contemte its formidable powers." He murmured to himself as he put the tiger''s core in his shadow.


    [Chronos pearl], made with rare spatial affinity! That''s the new pearl he obtained after sucking Linn''s blood. As it is his first time using the [Chronos pearl] on a weak target, he cannot measure its power. ''I need a powerful beast! That''s the only solution to get an idea of the destructive power of my new skill!'' He said to Himself by elerating under the effect of excitement.


    Then, he continued his way to the mountain. But barely two more minutes, he crossed the road of the other three tigers who had already manifested and merged their divine domains!


    The other two tigers had the same size and appearance as the tiger Alvine had just killed. But thest tiger had ga pupils and bloody red fur. But the most impressive was his size, which had almost reached twenty meters long!


    Compared to his size, Alvine was like an ant standing in front of a legendary beast!


    Just by crossing the eyes of the tiger, who seemed to carry extraordinary wisdom, Alvine instinctively guessed that his battle could be harder than he had predicted.


    But he immediately frowned when he noticed a mysterious anomaly in front of him, which made the three tigers tremble like frightened puppies.


    Two great portals instantly appeared in front of him, one of which was only made up of blood-red mes, while the other was simr but also different from the first; since they created it with vermilion-red mes!


    "!" His eyes widened when he noticed the guests gradually going out in the two separate portals.


    ''Why are such monsters on a rank three?!'' He asks himself, instantly invoking Kimiko in his right hand and, at the same time, creating five other pearls around him.


    Use mes to open a dimensional portal? A single group of species was capable of such a feat...


    His dubious expression immediately froze when he saw the ten ancient beastse out of nowhere and join a battle that had nothing to do with them.


    ...Just like him, who can use the affinity of the shadow to create dimensional portals, there is a race that could also aplish the same exploits with the affinity of fire...the race of ancestral beasts!


    "Sigh, you know that I hate that you test my limits; so why is she so limited with this?" He murmured to himself, looking at the ten descendants of the ancestral beasts in front of him.


    "Well, since it''s like that, don''t call me a cheater." As he spoke these words, his shadow rose behind him and formed arge wall more than thirty meters long/wide!


    He pointed Kimiko, who had resumed his previous form, toward the ten divine beasts, and whispered coldly...


    "Get them all out, My faithful shadows!"
