Under the vast starry sky, the hearts beat anxiously. Deep ferocious howls of wild beasts from the depths of the vast forest caused people's faces to pale in fright. The ground rumbled, dust rising in the distance. Aofeng instinctively felt danger.

"Not goo! It is a magic beast tide!" Rong Luo's expression changed and he quickly stood up as he rapidly ordered, "All from the Crimson Forge Mercenary Company, listen, assemble in ranks, prepare to be attacked, quick!"

"Magic beasts! The magic beasts are coming!"

"Quick! Set up the defense line, summon the magus beasts, quick!"

The other two mercenary companies and the camps of the other families also reacted immediately. At this time, the quality of the prestigious families showed. The small mercenary companies were panicked as they fled in all directions. AS the shadows of the large herd of magic beasts grew closer, the scattered forces in the distance were attacked. Many people that were unable to flee in time were torn to pieces by the frenzy of magic beasts! Some were even crushed to paste, their bodies gone!

Thousands of them galloped!

The mix of the tang of blood and the smell of the magic beasts were carried to their nose by the cold wind. Aofeng shook as she looked in shock at everything in front of her.

The magic beast tide was just like the name, magic beasts continuing to rise out of the endless forest in one wave after another, one bigger than the last. The magic beasts that charged out of the forest were packed together, primarily cows, wild boars, mountain spiders and vicious wolves. They seemed to be endless. The magic beasts were lightning fast, and the noise they caused with their charge rivalled any battlefield!

The mercenaries held their weapons as they met the magic beasts, the magisters summoning their magus beasts. In this time, the snarls of the magic beasts and the shouts of the humans were mixed together in a soul-frightening way.

The killing started in a blink!

"Aofeng, don't leave my side." Seeing the magic beasts ahead breaking through the defense line that had been thrown together, Rong Luo pulled out the long sword at his waist. He grabbed Aofeng's arm and said gravely, "Magic beast tides are unusually of magic beasts five stars or under, but there are always many and they are mad. You must be careful. Damn it, why are we encountering a magic beast tide at the border of the forest, and the Holy Emperor isn't here ... ..."

"Rather than ask others for help, its better to rely on oneself. Five stars, that's nothing to me." Aofeng smiled and asked for a long and curved blade from Rong Luo to be her weapon as she stood calmly by his side.

"Aofeng, you are really arrogant, but your words always seem to touch my heart. You are right, I have to rely on myself for matters." Rong Luo stilled and then gave a pleased smile. Then he raised his right hand, a pressure slowly spreading from his body.

"Hm." Aofeng stared closely at Rong Luo, her heart jumping. A white light suddenly enveloped him, the blinding silver diagram appearing under the tall man's feet. It was a rhombus composed of four exquisitely patterned triangle shapes. There were nine small silver swords within each triangle but the last one only had seven silver swords.

In the world of Luska, this kind of pattern would appear under a magister when they were summoning magus beasts. The diagram under Rong Luo's feet was called a fourth spirit star. It represented Rong Luo's magister level, seven sword spirit magister.

"As expected of Young Captain, he is already a seven-sword spirit magister."

"Ah, Heavens! Spirit magus beasts! That's a spirit magus beast!"
