Chapter 657 - Such An Overpowered Element Shouldn't Exist! The group wandered further into the Magical Beasts' forest, and just as they predicted, the beasts they encountered started getting stronger. Now, they only encountered Rank Five beasts. Since most of the beasts were still in the Early stages, it was extremely easy for the group to deal with them. Alice was the main figure fighting against them. Since she had the weakest power amongst them, she sorted to fight more. Reynolds also joined her since he didn't want to solely rely on his Elemental Warrior. His personal strength was not bad when compared to others in the same stage. If he was even placed in the Aurora Continent, he wouldn't be below most of the people in his stage. His Elemental Warrior made people forget he was still in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane. They've also gotten some things on the way. This was the Magical Beasts' forest after all, a place littered with treasures. As long as one had a little bit of luck and sufficient strength, then they would certainly take back a treasure or two. After spending almost a day in the forest, they had gotten to the part where the beasts were in the Mid stages of the Fifth Rank. The battles got a little more difficult, but Alice enjoyed it even more due to the pressure she was facing. Of course she wasn't really in any danger since Grey and Klaus were there. Even Void was there as well, so there was nothing to worry about. She fought ferociously, but also made sure she didn't sustain any injuries. She might be aware that Grey and the others could save her, but it didn't mean she should forget defending. Reynolds was also having a difficult time with his opponents, but he didn't back down. Just like Alice, he fought violently. If people were to see them fighting, they would be confused as to who was the beast and who was the human. They fought like savage beasts, even though they were under pressure, they didn't back down. Grey and Klaus were watching the battles as they munched on the piece of meat on their hand. "Nice move! Now kick it in the head!" Klaus exclaimed. After talking, he used his mouth to hold onto the piece of meat before he started clapping. If Reynolds wasn't fighting a serious battle, he would've left the beast and attacked Klaus. The battle was long, but Alice and Reynolds won in the end. It was expected given they were more calculative than the beasts. All they did was bait the beast, and when it thought it had the advantage, they unleashed a ferocious counter. The beast seemed to be a couple, so their cooperation was quite high. But Alice and Reynolds had better cooperation, and since the beasts were wary of Grey and Klaus, they didn't use their full strength. "Such a nice battle. But Reynolds, I feel you're a little lacking. You should've kicked the head of the beast when I told you to, that would've sent it running." Klaus gave his analysis of the battle with his hands behind his back. Alice and Reynolds were still panting from the fight, so they didn't attack him immediately. However, after they recovered, Klaus ran away. They were unable to catch up to him, so all they could do was grit their teeth and wait for his turn to battle. Their journey here could also be said to be a form of training. Going to a new place, the others felt a little pressured. Grey had told them how those in the Overlord Plane were around eighteen. And most of them were more powerful than their counterparts in the Azure Continent. The group wanted to boost their strength as much as they could before going there, especially Alice. Unlike Reynolds, she didn't have an Elemental Warrior, so surprisingly, from being the strongest in the group while they were still at the Arcane Plane, she had fallen to the weakest. She was already close to the Fourth stage of the Overlord Plane, and she felt it would be for the best if she managed to attain it before they left. They camped in the woods since it was already dark. The next day soon came and they started their training once again. Alice tried to fight against a beast that was already on the verge of breaking through to the Late stages of the Fifth Rank, and when ultimately lost. The battle was hard fought, but the beast had the advantage from the start. The group encouraged her, after all, it wasn't an easy feat. She was still in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane, yet she wanted to go against a beast almost in the Late stages. After that battle, the beasts they encountered were either in the Late stages or were about to enter. Klaus finally started his training. His use of the water element had reached a frightening stage that Grey was sure he hadn't seen anyone that had a better mastery than Klaus in the same stage. The group walked deeper, and the beasts got stronger. Klaus fought against a beast that should be around the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane and won. One has to know that he was in the Sixth stage. Once a beast or an Elementalist breaks through to the Late stages, their strengths increases. It's not like the increase from one stage to another, but a different one entirely. For Klaus to still win when two stages below showed his competence. Grey had also joined in on the battle, but due to the space element, his own couldn't really be called a battle, more like a one-sided fight. Before the beasts could figure out what was happening, they were already dead. Klaus couldn't help but look at Grey's disappearing and appearing silhouettes in envy. He naturally didn't feel it in a bad way, more like if only I had this as well. Or better still, such an overpowered element shouldn't exist in the first place!
