The power of Rules.

Unlike spells, the power of Rules was different and depended on his will. He had to understand the detail behind a command to make a Rule for it.

This also made him the only mage with two abilities as it was a general knowledge that a mage could only use one element, all the mages who had been fortunate or unfortunate to awaken two had died from their soul exploding due to the star patterns of both elements fighting for sovereign over their soul.

“You monster! What do you want from me!” The beast growled at Vee after he walked to stand in front of it, it was still trembling which meant that it was still trying to break free from Vee’s command which was impossible because the will of the beast was nowhere close to that of this abnormal Divine mage.

“Hehehe, a monster calling a human a monster. Aren’t you a special kind?” Vee chuckled loudly as his fingers ran across the rough surface of the beast’s head. He was not at all surprised that the beast was able to speak and its speech was as fluent as that of a human, that was because it was not a surprising thing to see. After all, beasts at the transformed rank already knew how to speak so it would be weird if a calamity rank magic beast did not know how to since some could already turn into human form.

“Just let me go, I did nothing to you or any human. I have been slumbering all my life and I don’t even know where I am” The beast begged as the intensity of its body trembling from trying to break free increased.

Vee stared at the beast for a while, not saying anything. His fingers pinched his chin as he fell into thought but his eyes remained on the beast.

The beast was getting nervous from the stare of the human in front of it and its body slowly stopped trembling after minutes of trying to break free from the invisible pressure that was holding it in place, it now realized that there was no way for it to escape unless this white-haired human wanted it to.

Minutes passed by quickly and Vee finally woke up from his thoughts and locked eyes with the beast, causing the whole body of the beast to shiver from fear.

It was a very strange sight to behold especially if the size of the two were put into consideration, Vee was like a little cat as he stood in front of the humongous beast. But who could really blame it? Vee was a monster among humans, the beast had not lied when it called him a monster even without knowing it was actually on point.

“Alright, I have a proposal. If you do well, I’ll let you follow me. What do you think, deal?” Vee voiced out in an excited tone.

The beast instantly became uneasy upon hearing Vee’s words, it realized that this despicable human had no thoughts of letting it go easily.

‘Damnit, who wants to follow you? I just want to stay far away from you and hope to never see you again in my life. You are even asking me what I think like I have a choice, would you let me go if I said no? Waah! Why did I have to wake up today of all days? Someone save me!!’ The beast lamented inwardly but did not dare to voice anything out and could only sorrowfully agree to whatever proposal Vee had even without hearing it first.

“Great!” Vee could not hold himself back this time and clapped his hands together from excitement, due to his casual action, a fierce wind burst from in between his palms and slammed into the face of the beast, thereby slamming its head into the ground.

Good thing that Vee was not a wind mage so the effect of the wind just now did not cause any damage to the beast but that did not stop the beast from becoming resentful.

‘So his proposal was to freely beat me up? How despicable’ it cried in its beastly heart.

Vee realized that he might have acted too much and quickly regained his composure.

“Ahem, sorry about that just now. I got carried away” Vee did not know why but he decided to apologize to the beast for the injustice just now, after all, this was the only beast that had allowed him to use his second ability so he was a bit grateful.

The huge eyes of the beast rolled and looked upon Vee in surprise.

‘Looks like I misunderstood him then’ it thought but Vee’s next words almost made it throw up blood from rage.

“Let’s exchange attacks, you will attack me with your full strength and I’ll attack you as well. We’ll do it twice each and if you pass, I’ll let you follow me so we can keep doing so in the future” Vee said with a look of expectation on his face.

The beast felt like cursing at him but did not dare to as it was purely terrified by this white-haired human, it could only grumble inwardly.

‘And here I was thinking I misunderstood him, he still wants to bully me. Follow you in the future so we can do it again. Isn’t that the same as asking to get beaten up by you many times in the future? Fvck you!!!!’

Still not daring to say it out, the beast could only accept Vee’s proposal and was finally freed from the force holding it in place.

“Alright, you attack first. Do not hold back at all” Vee distanced himself a bit and stretched his neck to prepare himself.

The beast stood on all fours and looked at itself, feeling its freedom of movement return simply after the words of the human. The thought of fleeing came to mind but disappeared quickly as it came. Trying to escape was not only an impossible thing to do at this point but also a very foolish decision.

It could only prepare itself to blast the hateful human to pieces with its strongest attack.

‘Such arrogance, your pride will be the end of you today’ the beast snickered at Vee. It had initially refrained from fighting this human because it had been spooked by the pressure that the white-haired human was emitting when it woke up from its slumber and knew it would be hard for it to land a successful attack on him, but who would have thought that the foolish human would provide himself for it to attack? It must be the heavens hearing its prayers.

Not even warning Vee to get ready, the beast raised its head as its chest began to glow with blue light while a house-sized blueish sphere formed above its open mouth.

It did not release the sphere even after charging it for over twenty seconds, the power of the sphere was increasing by the second and Vee could feel it too.

“Hahaha, good, good!! Keep charging!” He laughed in approval of the beast’s action as he spread out his arms in anticipation of the attack.

Calamity rank magic beasts might be equal to Divine mages in strength but Vee was not afraid of the beast’s fully charged attack at all.

The beast finally stopped charging after two minutes, the size of the sphere was now almost as big as itself and the ferocious pressure from the sphere was already shattering the earth around them when it had yet to release the attack which did not take long as the beast lowered its head and launched the sphere towards Vee the next moment.

Vrooom!! Boom!!!

The sphere tore through space and destroyed the ground as it sped towards Vee at a speed faster than sound, a long mini canyon was created on the ground where the sphere flew past before hitting Vee and a huge explosion followed.

An enormous blue cloud rose into the air as the destruction of the beast’s attack covered an area of five hundred meters, turning everything within this five hundred meters into ashes not even the ground was spared because a properly scorched canyon that was more than five hundred meters long appeared after the effect of the explosion cleared.

“What the!!!”

The beast exclaimed as its already huge eyes widened further due to shock as the image of the familiar white-haired human reflected on its pupils.

“Hmm, it was not even powerful enough to damage my clothes. Makes sense though, I made these clothes myself after all” Vee muttered to himself while inspecting himself. He was not even scratched by the attack just now nor was his clothes wrinkled, his hair had returned to normal after fluttering a bit; he was perfectly fine.

He looked at the disastrous scene behind him before turning back to stare at the shocked beast, he was literally standing on the edge of the newly formed canyon.
