Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Rezen retrieved several pieces of herbs from his farm in the shape of clovers. While these herbs don't offer any benefits for cultivation, they are currently what Rezen needs right now, almost desperately at that
Purifying Clovers! These are purifying clovers. Amongst all the Spirit Plants that can remove and purify the poison's effect on a lifeform, while the purifying clovers are not the best, they are one of the better quality ones
Not to mention, Rezen has a lot of them. If one or two purifying clovers are not enough then he will take three, tens, or even a hundred of them to ensure that he will continue surviving
As soon as Rezen swallowed the purifying clovers, they instantly melted into pure purifying energies that swept and flowed at every inch of his body
His pale face immediately regained color and he heaved a sigh of relief. The situation was really dangerous just now, if he was a step too late, he might have died back then
In fact, now that Rezen looked at his surroundings, there was indeed a corpse of a human mage near him. From the looks of it, the mage is also a student of the Tryst Academy. Unfortunately, the poison in this area causes him to die
"That was dangerous! I didn't even know that I was poisoned!" Rezen thought with his heart beating rapidly. He almost died!
"Master, please be careful. Even I didn't sense the poison"
Suddenly, Ivy's magnetic and emotionless voice rang inside Rezen's mind, and for a moment he was stunned
Even Ivy was not able to detect the poison. If that is the case then how discrete this poison is that it can even dodge Ivy's senses?
Even though Rezen was poisoned, he didn't get angry at Ivy since he was already aware that she wouldn't give everything to him on a silver platter. In fact, he even agreed with that as it would prevent him from being complacent
As such, it was not a big deal that he almost died from the poison of an unknown source without Ivy warning him. However, turns out that it was not that Ivy didn't want to warn him. It's just that Ivy itself was not able to detect the poison even with her terrifying scanning ability
It must be said that Ivy's scanning ability is even better than Senior Mages. Rezen can't say whether Ivy or a Grand Mage is better at detection but at the very least the former is better compared to a Senior Mage
After all, Senior Mages were not able to detect any abnormality from this resource point because if they did, this shouldn't be open to even someone like Rezen
However, such an entity actually still failed to detect the poison? Just how sneaky this poison is?
"Although I was not able to detect the poison, Master, now that I am aware of their presence, I can detect that the source is the moss growing on the walls" Ivy said causing Rezen to look at the walls near him
Indeed, on the walls, moss was growing. However, they were really too inconspicuous. They look like your ordinary green moss
If Rezen didn't eat spirit plants for night vision, he wouldn't even notice these mosses
"Just what are these mosses?" Rezen muttered with a frown on his face. It was fortunate that the poison although discreet was not potent enough to instantly kill him
At the very least, he had a few seconds to retrieve his spirit plants. He was luckier compared to a fellow student that seemed like just recently died here
Suddenly, Rezen thought of something and he retrieved the map from his student token causing a subtle light to shine as a screen appeared
"This is not one of the really dangerous areas of the Krome Underground. How did such terrifying moss appear here?" He asked to no one in particular
With Rezen's current pitiful strength, he naturally would avoid the dangerous areas but this area is not one of them. But it seems like that changes now
"I should avoid this place to be sure... wait... hmm?"
Rezen thought of something again as he stared at the inconspicuous mosses all around the walls near him
"Mosses don't have seeds but they reproduce using their spores. Could the farm also grow them?"
While the poison was weak enough for even someone like him to survive they are very discreet. Rezen could turn the moss into one of his hidden weapons if he can grow them
"The moss might have terrifying sneaking ability but it is not so special that the farm cannot easily grow them" Ivy's answer rang inside Rezen's mind and he became excited
He naturally doesn't harbor cowardly tactics that use poison. As such, he spared no time and he harvested some of the moss to store and grow on his farm
Even if the moss can only grow on underground walls, the farm doesn't have any problem growing spirit plants no matter what their growing environment should be
After harvesting some of the moss, Rezen was about to change his direction and go to a safer area when Ivy's voice rang inside his mind again
"Master, run!"
Upon hearing such a warning, Rezen didn't even hesitate in the slightest. Winds gathered at his body as he ran
However, it was already too late. The ground beneath him suddenly shook. To think that even Ivy was not able to detect the danger before it arrived and was late in giving Rezen a warning
As the ground beneath Rezen cracked, it revealed a pitch-black hole that he was simply unwilling to fall into. Fortunately, he was still a mage at the 4th cycle. If a mage at this level doesn't want to fall into that hole, he has the ability to do so!
He doesn't even need to cast magic. His physical abilities alone were enough to jump on the pieces of the ground until he was in a safe area
Just as Rezen was about to muster his strength, his eyes suddenly trembled. It was as if something was blocking both his mana and physical strength
The advantage of Body Mages compared to Spirit Mages is their physique. Even without the use of mana, they can still exert powerful strength
Since Rezen is a Deviant Mage, he is both a Body and Spirit Mage. Naturally, even without the use of mana, his body itself can exert strength equivalent to magic
However, whether it be his physical or magical prowess, both were hindered by something
——-
Hidden deep in the Krome Underground was a place that no one in the entire Savage Beast Realm knows
In fact, even in the surrounding realms and realms with mages stronger than even 4th rank mages does not have the ability to discover this space
If the ancient mages who know a lot of things about the world discovered this space, they would definitely spare no expense to destroy it thoroughly. Even pulverizing the whole Savage Beast Realm might not be enough for them
They might shatter and turn the space where the Savage Beast Realm is located into dust directly just to ensure that the entity hiding in such a place would die without even a bit of chance to survive
The entity living in this space was a remnant of the dark era of not just the mages but all the lifeforms in the universe
Such an entity is a reminder of the dark past that no one wants to remember. A dark past that few people know and is not revealed to the lifeforms that were just born in the recent era
This space was akin to a garden... a garden of poisonous plants, some of which are unknown to even the most ancient mage
"To think that someone like me will fall this low..." an entity living inside this space muttered with a sigh as it stared at the garden
This lifeform's body was thoroughly concealed, not even a finger could be seen and it gave off an otherworldly aura as if it was an entity that did not belong to this world
"And I also didn't know that the seed of hope from back then would actually survive. You are the only hope of our #$%$|&₱. However, this hope is too miniscule. After all, even the great #%$¥€& failed to ensure our survival. You have even less of a chance to turn the tides and revive the #%^+¥!~$ no matter how much you are related to #%%^*+€>. After all, you are just a #%^**$> of #%$¥€&. The great being of the #$%$|&₱. Back then, we spared no expense and effort but still failed in the end. What more now that we have fallen into this kind of miserable state" The being sighed with helplessness and bitterness
It was talking to itself while reminiscing the distant memories of the past
"However, no matter how minuscule the chance is, I should still help you achieve it. But with my current state, I don't really have much to help you..."
