The five wizards were surprised by what they just witnessed.

Angele pursed his lips. He tried to find the green string but nothing could be traced.

"What's going on?" he wondered.

Stigma narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "We need to find another route. I don't even know what's on that cliff. There's a town called White Mist around the canyon. We can find human beings living there. We should go ask them about the situation."

Angele was not familiar with the area, so he decided to follow Stigma's advice. The five wizards started heading to the right.

Good thing was that the team carried enough food and water. They could stay on the plains for about two more months.

The path to White Mist Town was dangerous. The first several days were peaceful but they were tracked down by a herd of strange beasts in the next ten days. The creature looked like a mutated leopard with burning flame at the end of its tail. The leopard had hard fur, high speed, and its paws could deal Fire damage.

Angele did the test. The leopard's fur could easily block the physical damage dealt by a person with Strength points lower than seven. The fur could only be damaged by extremely sharp metal weapons.

Reyline cast several spells after he realized that his physical attacks did not work but those leopards were sensitive to the energy particles and they dodged the spells easily as well. Only the instant-cast spells were fast enough to hit them but only Angele's instant-cast spell was powerful enough to damage them.

Hikari was almost injured by those leopards. Morrisa and Hikari's spells needed time to prepare. Morrisa was a good healer but could not fight and her summoning potions took too long to prepare.

Stigma and Reyline's close combat skills were mainly used to defend against the strikes from the mutated leopards. Angele was the only one killing those creatures. With the buff from the cursed scimitar, his Strength had reached 15, and he could easily slice the leopards into pieces.

After several battles, Angele had killed more than ten mutated leopards and he had successfully extracted some more life essences.

His Strength was increased to 17, Mentality was increased to 57.4, and his Stamina was increased to 20.

17 points of Strength brought Angele incredible power. He missed a slash once and the cursed scimitar left a deep crack in the ground.

The high Stamina increased Angele's defense and recovery. He was once bitten by two mutated leopards on the shoulders, but the wounds were quickly healed, and his bones were not even damaged.

The mutated leopard had a Strength of 6 but they could barely do any damage to Angele. His Metal Mastery was also improving as his attributes rose in digits.

The metal forcefield improved and Angele was able to control more metal creations at the same time.

He concluded after doing many tests that the metal forcefield would be more powerful and easier to control if his Strength and Stamina increased. The amount of mentality and mana he had would only affect the metal creation ability.

Angele's attributes were increased to a whole different level but sadly, the cursed scimitar reached its limit and the buff could no longer be strengthened. Although he could still absorb the life essences of the creatures, his mentality increase slowed down again.

It took the five wizards about half a month to reach the White Mist Town Stigma had mentioned.
