Chapter 471 Fighting Against the Beast Horde

Arthur woke up in the morning to the sound of strange noises outside. The sounds were faint, coming from far away, but Arthur\'s keen senses allowed him to prepare himself.

"Myla, wake up," he said, shaking the sleeping woman awake. "The beasts are coming."

"What? Where?" Myla asked, quickly getting to her feet. She looked around, but there were no beasts in sight, and it was still early in the morning.

"The beasts usually come in the afternoon," she said. "Why are you awake so early?"

Arthur remained motionless, listening to the sounds getting louder. "I\'m sure they\'re coming," he said. "Could this time be different from the other times you took the trial?"

Myla\'s eyes widened in fear. "They\'re coming now? How? Why? This is not how it was supposed to be!"

Arthur put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "We\'ll have to face them either way," he said. "Calm down."

Myla took a deep breath and nodded. "Right. You\'re here with me now. I\'m not alone."

Arthur smiled. "That\'s right. We\'re in this together."

The two of them stood at the entrance to the cave, ready to face whatever came their way.

"Here they come!" Myla yelled.

The beasts emerged from the forest, running towards the cave. There were many different kinds of beasts, including three-headed monkeys as big as trees, lizards with wings, and even a frog with human limbs.

"Whoa, that frog is scary!" Arthur said.

Arthur could feel that all the beasts were at the same level of power as him, Official Mage Rank 1. It seemed that everyone\'s power was locked in that level, but despite everyone having the same, their power differed greatly.

Myla, for example, was also at rank 1, but her power was much lower than Arthur\'s. He had more knowledge than her, as well as his bloodlines and his system to help him. There was no way she would be able to compare to him.

"What should we do?" Myla asked.

She entered a fighting stance, grasping her sword with one hand and drawing the magical symbols for a spell with the other.

Arthur, however, was not worried. He did not even move. All the magical formations he had set up at the entrance to the cave were there for a reason.

When the beasts got close to the entrance, a barricade of lightning fell from the sky, hitting the beasts and turning a few into charcoal.

"What\'s this? Your magical formation is this powerful?" Myla asked, widening her eyes in shock.

It was the first time she had seen a rank 1 mage produce so much power. Every time she saw Arthur, he seemed to shock her even more. She was starting to wonder who he really was.

"I think the magical formations will stop the beasts today, and maybe tomorrow too, depending on how many come," Arthur said. "But after that, we will have to fight."

Arthur sat down cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. He began to focus his energy, preparing for the battle that was to come.

Myla remained in a fighting stance for a few minutes, watching the beasts in the entrance trying to get to them only to get destroyed by the many different magical formations Arthur had placed beforehand. She only sat down after being sure the formations would stop all the beasts.

"How did you learn all of this?" Myla asked as she sat beside Arthur.

"Study, of course. There is no such thing as a heaven-sent talent. Everyone needs to practice and work hard," Arthur said.

Myla was touched by Arthur\'s words. She had been seen as one of the greatest mages on the planet, and after reaching that level, she had slacked off and not looked to improve, thinking it was just something impossible to achieve. But Arthur proved her otherwise! A fire ignited inside her with the same intensity as the one she had when she first started her magical training. She was excited to continue her journey and practice hard after finishing this trial.

They continued living their normal lives inside the cave, using the stored food and water to fulfill their needs. Myla was a little scared about sleeping, but Arthur kept himself awake to give her a good night\'s rest.

Two days passed. That was the amount of time the magical formations had given them. After that, it was time for them to fight!

A stream of beasts dashed toward the cave. Arthur was already prepared, and had called Myla beforehand as well! With his bare fists, Arthur punched the beasts as they came, breaking their bones!

"Ahhh!" Myla yelled as a massive wolf jumped toward her.

Arthur quickly intercepted the attack, grabbing the wolf by the neck, biting on his neck, and ripping a chunk of meat from it! A savage and gross scene that made Myla tremble.

"I cannot forget how scary he is!" Myla thought.

Myla cut the beasts using her crimson-red sword made of volcanic ore, and cast a spell called Fire Lotus, sending flowers of fire toward the beasts, burning them!

The explosions made the cave tremble, and after a few minutes, many corpses were scattered inside the cave! Myla was breathing heavily, tired, yet Arthur was as steady as a mountain.

They survived the first wave of beasts, and Arthur looked as if nothing had happened! That was the benefit of his system, and his dragon and giant bloodlines. His resistance was beyond that of a normal mage!

It did not matter if it was the Phoenix Trial, Arthur would not lose to it!

Another beast wave came after a few hours, and another one, and another one…

Each time, the power of the beasts increased, and it looked as if it would never end, until the seventh day.

By the seventh day, Myla was tired, not having the strength to fight anymore. She only lasted that long because Arthur was there to help her!

On that day, there was no beast horde, but a single creature came walking toward them. It was a humanoid one, and its face resembled Arthur\'s.
