Magic Era: My Cells Can Evolve - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Earth Shark, Strange Intruder

“Gulp…”

The sound of someone swallowing was especially apparent.

It made the already quiet atmosphere even more stagnant.

Catherine called the assistant examiner twice before he finally regained his senses.

“Huh? Oh, I’ll… count. Let me count.”

The assistant examiner nodded dumbly and started counting the number of tracking devices on the table.

He had never expected to “count” tracking devices after all the times he’d been an examiner.

Usually, he could tell the number at a glance for two or three tracking devices.

It was already good enough to have one at most, so he never needed to count them one by one.

Soon, the assistant examiner was stunned again.

He saw a silver tracking device and… a gold one from a pile of bronze tracking devices.

The silver tracking device represented a mid-level vicious beast.

The golden tracking device represented a high-level vicious beast!

“Gulp…”

The assistant examiner gulped and announced Austin and Catherine’s results loudly. “Austin and Catherine. Killed 59 low-level beasts!”

“What!”

59 low-level beasts!

Everyone doubted their ears.

They felt like they had been struck in the head by a bronze bell. They were utterly dumbfounded.

If there were seven or eight of them or even a dozen of them, the surviving apprentice magisters might still be able to exclaim.

However, 59 low-level beasts were too much to handle.

It was impossible to catch up!

At what pace did they need to kill 59 low-level Vicious Beasts in a day and night?

If they were not fighting Vicious Beasts, then they were on the way to hunt Vicious Beasts. There was simply no time to waste.

The assistant examiner coughed dryly and continued, “Two mid-level vicious beasts! One high-level vicious beast!!”

“Huh?!”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Mo was dumbfounded and exclaimed that it was impossible.

Even Elder Chuan, who had remained calm throughout, was dumbfounded.

A look of disbelief appeared on his aged face.

High-level vicious beast!

That was a high-level beast!

The level of shock even surpassed the 59 low-level beasts.

Unimaginable. Unthinkable.

They could not even describe how they were feeling right now.

Hika looked toward Austin, her beautiful eyes glowing.

Cass and Ankti, the Martian hunter, looked shocked and at the treasure.

Elder Chuan’s hands trembled as he held his walking stick.

The assistant examiner took a deep breath and said, “Your results are the top in this exam… no, in all the previous exams!”

Best ever in history!!

Mo looked like a defeated rooster as he lowered its head.

Honestly, his results were nothing.

He had only killed five low-level beasts.

Compared to the 59 low-level beasts, two mid-level beasts, and one high-level beast, there was simply no need for comparison.

Immediately, many apprentice magisters looked at Austin and Catherine differently.

Some looked in admiration, some with fear, and some in doubt.

According to the classification of power, tier-one magisters corresponded to low-level ferocious beasts.

A tier-two magister corresponded to a mid-level vicious beast.

If anyone wanted to hunt high-level vicious beasts, he had to be at least a tier-four magister!

Elder Chuan was a tier-four magister.

They did not believe that Austin and Catherine were tier-four magisters.

“Ahem. Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s get in the vehicle and head back.”

Old Man Chuan told everyone.

Since the Thunder Magister Guild’s tier-five magister had spoken, everyone naturally had no objections.

Just as everyone was about to enter the station, Austin suddenly sensed something and frowned.

Something seems to be approaching?

Austin’s cells had evolved to the point that his intuition had become ever sharper.

Especially in a life and death crisis!

“Sister, be careful.”

At that very moment, Austin put his arm around Catherine’s shoulders.

The air around them immediately gathered and formed an invisible wall around.

“Brother?”

Catherine’s heart raced.

Crack!

Suddenly, the ground split open.

A hideous sharp dorsal fin split open the ruined path like a broadsword and rushed towards everyone.

“Watch out! Vicious beast incoming!”

Several assistant examiners shouted.

Soon, the Royal Garrison Guards stationed at the transport station immediately responded with firepower.

The Magitek Battery Guns aimed at the cracked ground and started firing wildly.

Large-caliber bullets hit the ground with a clang.

The dorsal fins covered in tough cuticles suddenly dove into the ground, avoiding the intense firepower.

The next moment.

A ferocious and terrifying bloody mouth covered in rounds of jagged teeth suddenly shot up from the ground.

Together with the ground, a dozen or so apprentice magisters got swallowed into the mouth.

Bang!

The huge beast finally revealed half of its true appearance.

It was a shark bigger than a 10-ton truck.

Its entire body was covered in hard and fine keratin scales with a faint earth aura around it.

“Elite-level vicious beast, Earth Shark Dragon!”

Martian hunter Ankti’s face changed.

It was a peculiar and troublesome vicious beast.

It was a dragon-like and shark-like beast that could swim freely underground. Matured adults could grow up to a hundred meters. They were extremely terrifying elite-level vicious beasts!

“Elite-level vicious beast?”

“Why would an elite-level vicious beast appear in Vicious Beast Town!”

The scene turned chaotic.

Most of them were just apprentice magisters. In front of elite-level beasts, they were as weak as ants.

Probably due to the Earth Shark Dragon’s call, the low-level vicious beasts of the Vicious Beast Town had formed a beast tide to relieve their hunger.

The military in the transport station had fully activated!

One by one, the magic cannons were activated and locked onto the Earth Shark Dragon and the low-level vicious beasts that were charging over.

“Suppress the smaller beast tide in the distance, leave the Earth Shark Dragon to me!”

At this moment, an elderly voice filled with vigor sounded.

Everyone seemed to have found a pillar of strength and stopped panicking.

“A mere beast dares to cause trouble in human’s territory? You’re courting death!”

Elder Chuan became different from his usual amiable appearance. He opened his muddled eyes angrily, his hair stood on end, and a fiery magic power surged around him.

Splat!

There were also blue electric arcs flashing and jumping around Elder Chuan’s body.

A strong gust of air pushed those beside him away.

Even Hika, a tier-four magister, was unable to look directly at the ferocious Elder Chuan.

“This is the Thunder Magister Guild’s secret technique, Thunder Desolation Hundred Furnace Technique!”

Austin looked shocked.

It was the first time he had seen a human’s Advanced Magic Technique and the first time he had seen a high-level magister fight!

As the magic technique activated, magic power surged while wind and thunder blasted along. It was marvelous to witness.
