How can a mid-cycle Senior Mage be this powerful?

The bandits were stunned at Claudes display of power. He was just a mid-cycle Senior Mage, but he was killing mages at the same rank as if they were bugs.

His movement speed was so fast that the bandits barely managed to see him. Flashes of red lightning appear before they see heads separate from their necks and fall down.

Such a display of power is not something that even ordinary high-cycle Senior Mages can show.

In just a few minutes of time, the bandits were instantly terrified of Claude. The weaker bandits didnt dare move and attack him, but it doesnt matter.

If they dont attack Claude, then Claude will attack them! It was as simple as that!

After Claude beheaded yet another group of bandits, he formed a magic circle on his feet, activating a magic spell.

Heavenpiercer!

With the help of Claudes magic, his inhuman speed exploded even faster than before. In the blink of an eye, at least ten bandits were slaughtered by him.

Their eyes even contain some confusion in them, as if they are wondering why they can see their own bodies.

Demon!

This man is a demon!

Damn it! How did we offend him?!

The bandits cried out, fear gripping their hearts tightly. They cant help but curse whoever amongst them offends such a terrifying guy for them to experience this horror.

Who dares to a high-cycle Senior Mage, before he could even finish his words, he was already beheaded.

When a mage advances in a realm, their power grows, and the higher a mage is in cultivation, the bigger the difference they have against those who are weaker than them when it comes to cultivation rank.

When Claude just reached the Senior Rank, he needed to exert some effort to defeat a mid-cycle Senior Mage.

He even had to use his Yin-Yang Field in the fight.

But now that he is a mid-cycle Senior Mage and the enemy was a high-cycle Senior Mage, the difference in power should be higher compared to the first cycle and the fourth cycle.

Yet the reality was different. Despite the fact that mages with a higher cultivation rank than Claude should be far stronger than him, Claude easily overpowered them.

He does not even need to use his Yin-Yang Field to easily slaughter a high-cycle Mage.

C-call the Leader! No, even the Leader might not be enough to kill this guy. Call the Grand Leader! Another high-cycle Mage ordered after seeing Claude killing a mage at the same level as him, as if the mage was just an ant.

Soon, while Claude was slaughtering the bandits, their leader finally arrived. Following the bandit Leader were three large black bears.

These bears were really large, larger than most bears. They were over four meters tall, with fur as black as the night.

Their eyes were filled with a ferocious glint.

The bandit Leader himself was a peak Senior Mage, only a step away from reaching the Great Mage Rank yet he was even controlling three black bears at the same rank as him.

Hmph, to kill so many of my people. You deserve to die a hundred deaths! The bandit leader snorted, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered his magic beasts to attack. .

Three giant bears launched themselves at Claude. Their footsteps caused the ground to shake lightly.

Despite their large size, the bears were fast. They were faster than any of the bandits killed today.

Peak Senior Mages or beasts who are only a step away from the Great Mage Rank are naturally far stronger than high-cycle Senior Mages,

As such, Claude has to take these bears more seriously compared to the other bandits.

Bloody lightning flashed on his sword, and he used it to block the fastest bears paw. Sparks flew around, and the ground that Claude was standing on cracked, his feet being buried into the ground.

With one bear occupying his attention, the other two bears attack him from behind. Their menacing paws threatening to slap him into a meat paste.

Fortunately, before the paws could hit him, Claude suddenly jumped in the air, effectively dodging these bears.

While still mid-air, Claude raised his sword above him while creating a magic circle.

Call of Hundred Lightning!

The sky momentarily darkened as a hundred blood-red lightning bolts were called forth by Claude, striking at the three bears.

This magic spell was an upgrade from his Call of Ten Lightning spell. With the increase in his realm comes an increase in power, which means he could use even stronger and more potent spells.

Block it! The Leader roared after sensing grave danger from the lightning.

The three black bears were his most prized beasts. He wouldnt let them die.

A such, the Leader, alongside with around seven more peak Senior Mages of the bandit camp moved and they created a barrier.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The lightning slammed against the barrier that the bandits created. Despite the barrier trembling and the cracks that were forming, they still managed to hold on, much to the bandits relief.

That magic spell was really terrible, but it should have used up a lot of mana, right?

No matter how powerful Claude is, there should be a limit to his power.

Unfortunately, before they could even take a breath, Claude activated the same magic spell, causing their faces to turn ashen.

Wait! Lets talk! What is it that you want? Money? Women? Power? We will give it to you! Why dont you join us instead of opposing us?

We are not natives of this realm, and we have connections. We certainly can satisfy you!

When the bandit leader arrived, he wanted to kill Claude as soon as possible. However, in just a single exchange, he had to change his mind.

This man is simply too terrifying! He is just a mid cycle Senior Mage yet several peak Senior Mages had to join hands to block his spell.

It was better to befriend him than continue being his enemy.

As for the bandits that already died… who ae they? They are just replaceable nobodies!

Unfortunately, despite his tempting offer, Claude didnt listen to the bandit leader.

Another group of hundred lightning falls from the sky and this time, Claude didnt target the peak Senior Mages.

His hundred lightning descended upon the weaker bandits, harvesting one life after another.

As for the fact that majority of bandits are not native, Claude naturally knew it!

Forget about his rising fortune aura, just the fact that he can sense the Eclipsion Realms desire to kill these bandits were enough for him to determine that they are not natives.

Even if it wasnt for the fortune aura, Claude would still kill these bandits to take down some bad apples.

Oppressors shall die!

Seeing that Claude didnt even show a hint of desire to negotiate, the bandit Leader was furious.

In this realm, when did he received such disrespect?

The natives of this realm was simply toys for him to play. He got too used to everyone bowing their heads at him that he had forgotten the fact that there are people that he cannot afford to offend.

Call the Grand Leader! We will kill this bastard today!

The Leaders eyes turned red after seeing many of his people die.

Where there is people, there are conflicts and cliques. The three large bandit groups of this area are all backed by different people under the Noble Mages banner.

They cooperate to oppress the people and ensure that the natives that showed talent would die but they are also competing against each other.

Now that many of his people died, he definitely wouldnt be able to win against the other two bandit groups which means less resources for him.

As such, he was really furious and he rallied all the bandits to attack Claude.

Unfortunately, Claude was too slippery. The peak Senior Mages can tie him down but he refrained from engaging against them.

He focused on the small fries, killing as many bandits as he could.

After all, if he were to kill all the bandits at the top of the ladder, these small fries would definitely run and try to flee desperately.

With their numbers, Claudes ten subordinates definitely couldnt defeat all of them.

Instead of defeating the bandits, his subordinates might even get themselves killed. As such, he opted to lessen their numbers first before trying to deal with the stronger bandits.

Fuck! You bastard! Come here! The bandit leader who was wearing a paw-like gauntlet roared as he charged at Claude.

On his paw, a mass of black energy gathered, ready to slam it against Claude.

Unfortunately for him, before he could even land a hit against Claude, the latter already moved away to attack and kill the other bandits.

The leaders attack only landed on the ground, creating a huge depression on the ground that was at least ten meters deep.
