219 Chapter 219
Just like that, the harpies flew away, leaving the dead bodies of both humans and harpies
The tribe’s number diminished once more, if this goes on then they would face total annihilation. Rezen even wondered how the tribe survive to this point if dangerous situations like this are seemingly common
The harpies’ retreat was just in time before the effects of the Ogrehorn Nuts wore off. If the fight went longer, Rezen would be forced to consume more Ogrehorn Nuts but the side effects would be more severe
Rezen was just starting to catch his breath when he suddenly found his body being lifted from the ground
“A-ah??” Rezen yelped in shock especially after sensing the air hitting his buttocks. Because of the earlier dangerous situation, Rezen does not have the time to change his clothes. His pearly white buttocks were still exposed to the air
Now that a certain someone lifted his body in the air, it just causes his buttocks to be even more exposed and the air causes him to unconsciously pucker his butt hole
“Pfft!!”
“Bwahahaha!”
“Hahahaha!”
Rezen’s ‘show’ became entertainment to the tribe while he almost died from shame
“Rezen! You were amazing! Even in the air, I could hear your voice! Every time you speak, the Chief’s barrier would appear to help me!” Stone Head said happily, the blood on his body that came from himself and the harpies rubbed on Rezen
“Ha ha ha… i-it’s nothing” Rezen said ‘bashfully’ although inside him he was seething in anger
Why does this guy have to lift him? Can’t Stone Head see that Rezen’s buttocks are being exposed too much?
“No need to be humble! Because of you, I was able to save the tribe!” Stone Head said happily
Since he causes the death of a valuable member of the tribe, he became obsessed with doing his best to ensure the tribe’s safety and prosperity
He hunted fiercely to provide as much food as he could although his lone effort is not enough to feed all the mouths of the tribe
Stone Head had seen how useful Rezen on the battle with the harpies and he is now putting him in a high regard
“I-it’s everyone’s effort” Rezen replied while hoping that Stone Head would put him down
“Hurray to Stone Head!”
“Hurray to the Chief!”
“Hurray to Rezen!”
Suddenly, the tribe was in an uproar as they give the three people praises. No doubt that it was the effort of these three that made it possible for the tribe to survive
The others might have done their best but they are aware that their efforts and strength were not enough
Because of what happened today, it seems like all of them suddenly forgave Stone Head as they gathered around him
The power that Stone Head showed was unlike any power that he showed before, all thanks to him casting a proper spell
Stone Head was previously avoided by the tribe but they are now praising him to the fullest
Rezen doesn’t know whether he should view the tribesmen as simpletons or hypocrites
“Stone Head, when did you learn a magic spell?” The Chief asks
In the world of Junior Mages, simple magic and magic spells are two completely different concepts
Simple magic simply utilizes the power of mana to create supernatural phenomena. Mana could be turned into elemental attacks or even non-elemental attacks just like the Chief’s barrier orb. Simple magic could literally be anything but while they are already powerful, the most powerful magic is still the ones cast with the aid of magic circles
Magic spells are not as easy to use just like simple magic. Even if the Chief wants to teach the magic spell that she learned to the tribesmen, everyone still differs in talent and attributes
At the apprentice rank, the mage could only use elemental magic depending on the Resonance Gems that they have but the difficulty in casting spells between each element differs
Once they reach the Junior Rank, thanks to the ‘change’ that they would undergo, these mages could theoretically use all elements of magic and even non-elemental ones
The simple magic of Junior Mages is already stronger than the magic of apprentice mages but their magic spells are what separates these mages
Junior Mages must create or find magic spells that are compatible with them. Since the Waterside Tribe lacks spell models, the few Junior Mages generally have to create their own magic spells which were almost impossible for them
As such, it was a surprise that Stone Head actually casts a magic spell
“A-about that… I’m not exactly sure. I was just really angry with the harpies and a spell model suddenly appeared in my mind…” Stone Head answered unsurely while scratching the back of his head
Even the spell’s caster is not aware of how he learned a magic spell
“Ah? Chief?” The tribesmen called out in worry after seeing the abnormal reaction of the Chief
She suddenly grabbed her face with her hand while her body trembled. Due to her old age and also the fact that she just fought the harpies, the tribesmen couldn’t help but worry about her health
Even Rezen was concerned, the tribe cannot afford to lose another Junior Mage combatant
After a moment, the Chief suddenly stopped trembling. Her face was facing the sky before she moved her head to look at Stone Head
“A spell model that suddenly entered your mind… heaven’s blessing… a blessed child of the heavens…” the Chief mumbled before she seemingly recovered as her aura returned to its original
“Chief?” Stone Head called out but the Chief merely shook her head
“It’s nothing, go bury the dead and rest” she said before walking away
The tribesmen threw the matter at the back of their heads as they started to mourn for their family aside from one person
“A person that received the blessing of the Savage Beast Realm is discovered. Stone Head is a heaven’s blessed that the realm blessed but the ‘fortune aura’ on his body is minuscule” Ivy’s magnetic voice suddenly entered Rezen’s ears and he squinted his eyes
“Heaven’s blessed? What does that mean? Is it the same as Claude being the realm’s chosen?” Rezen asked in return as the details were still not clear
“No, while they are extremely similar, there is a difference in the degree of how blessed they are. A realm normally would only have one ‘realm’s chosen’ that it would pour all the blessings on but it could have countless heavens’ blessed with a level of blessings that varied. A realm’s chosen is the only darling of the realm that received the highest form of blessing that no heavens’ blessed could ever receive and they generally only appeared when the realm is in danger”
“A heavens’ blessed is different, they are individuals that were born to do great things, they are people that possessed ‘fortune aura’ that would literally make them possess great luck”
pA(nD)A no ve1 “They could simply be walking randomly but surprisingly encountered great opportunities or heavenly treasures. However, since the heavens’ blessed are merely ‘blessed people’ and not the ‘darling of the realm’, their luck also varied”
“Based on the fortune aura that Stone Head possessed, he could make the Waterside Prosper. While his fortune aura is not enough to make the tribe reach the top of this world, in time, the tribe should be more prosperous than before where no one would die from starvation”
Rezen absorbs Ivy’s explanation as that information might be of used to him in the present or future but in the end, he merely shrugged his shoulders
“It’s good that he is a heaven’s blessed, the tribe would be safer with his fortune aura but that’s only it”
Whether Stone Head is blessed or not doesn’t affect Rezen to a great degree aside from him being safer than usual
“Master, for you to reach the top of the universe, a heaven’s blessed and realm’s chosen are both your enemies and also opportunities” Ivy replied and that caused Rezen to raise his brows
His goal is to resurrect his parents but he also has the goal of reaching the top so that no one would be able to kill his parents again
Since Ivy told him that the heaven’s blessed and realm’s chosen are his enemies yet also opportunities, Rezen must understand more about this matter
“Explain it to me” Rezen ordered but before Ivy could respond, he felt a pat on his back
“Rezen, are you alright? Why are you staring blankly like that? You need to rest now! You are our valuable healer, you can’t get sick” Treen said to Rezen and the other tribesmen nodded their heads in agreement. All of them were urging Rezen to rest
Without a choice, Rezen could only return to his hut amidst the concerned tribesmen
All tribesmen like Rezen aside from one person that was glaring at him from the side
“Rezen this! Rezen that! Healer, healer! You fucker! Just wait, I’ll definitely kill you one of these days for the humiliation you caused me!” Yvter vowed through gritted teeth
