[OP: ]
In an unknown distant land that not many knew about, there was a battle going on…
"Awooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!"
A giant energy beast that was of the highest possible level. A beast that possessed high quality Mana and, a beast that lived in the land of a volcano.
-Oooooooooooooong!
Against him caught the headmaster of the academy, fighting with his one of a kind magic, facing a being that was covered in a temperature so hot it lted the very ground beneath its feet, a being that resembled a wolf, possessed three dark black horns, had three tails on its back, and glowing white patterns all over its energy body burning so hot not even the headmasters spells survived in its presence.
"Awooooooooooooo…!"
-Ooooooooooooooooong…!
-BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
One was attacking while the other was trying not to deal with the attacks.
Both of them were strong and their powers matched closely… so whenever their standoffs had co to a brief pause, the one to grasp the golden opportunity was the only one that had managed to deal any kind of damage to the opponent.
'As I thought…'
This place, a volcanic reason situated at the very west of the western continent, was not a place many visited due to the presence of one of the most active volcanoes of the continent— Dhargni.
It was a primordial volcano that had been present on this continent even before the formation of the continent itself.
According to so stories, it was a layer of one of the primordial dragons, a ho of the one standing above any other entity ruling one of the six main elents, a personification of this nature's true supremacy.
Though, these stories had never been confird, even by the headmaster.
All this region was thus only a dangerous land on part with the nine forbidden areas of the world where no one dared to step foot into… the only difference between the forbidden Zones and this place was that the strong people, or those with actual power to endure the excruciating heat of this place seldom travelled here in search of the great riches, or, a battle with sothing much stronger than the beasts that they could find in the calm forests of this world.
For the highest ranking adventurer parties, this place, mainly the outskirts of this place, was a loved hunting ground and so even tried getting past the initial monsters to face the real dangers.
As adventurers, they knew very well what they were supposed to do, so they followed their hearts and fearlessly explored even the dangers like this one.
Still… not even the strongest of them ever dared to go to the central zone or, the place that was famous as the [Hell's entrance] thanks to the absurdly strong energy beats native only to that place.
There were talks about how a Catastrophe or even Disasters lived in this area, and they were not exactly wrong about that.
'Even the weakest of them all is of this level.'
According to the knowledge of the headmaster, there were mainly six beings in this central area that were considered the most ferocious, or dangerous to the others.
These beasts possessed powers beyond the level of the highest graded (Purple) beast and were sowhat comparable to the beasts of the forbidden forest.
The amount of Mana that they possessed was abnormally high and even though they did not possess divinity, the kind of strength that these creatures possessed was sothing even the headmaster had difficulty dealing with.
And, since these six beings were essentially the lords that maintained their own territories, killing any of them would bring even greater disarray to this volcanic regain that might end up causing long term harm to the overall stability of this place.
'Looks like I'll have to be a little more aggressive.'
He was afraid of killing even this weakest of them six, the one that was technically still stronger than any other regular (Purple) rank beast out there.
He knew his actions might result in the deaths of the amazing adventurers who do visit this dangerous place, and he could not have sothing like that.
Thus, he only wanted to weaken this beast, capture it and seal it away while creating a substitute clone for the beast that would take care of this place in its absence… but, from the way this creature had been retaliating until now, he thought his original plan to be nearly impossible.
'Then…'
-Ooooooooooooooooong!
A ground burning red by the heat from the beast.
A barren wasteland with dark weather, a giant volcano with red vomiting lava.
An atmosphere where life is nearly impossible and yet, a land where lives of unique nature had adapted to this special environnt.
Mana of this place was stagnant and extrely hot, filled with fire elents more than any other.
Even for an archmage, it was difficult to separate the other elents from this kind of environnt, and the resistance or near immunity to fire and heat made the fire attribute magic of even the headmaster nearly useless against them.
They were strong creatures and the headmaster knew this particular one was especially stronger than the others.
"Awoooooooooooo…!"
-Oooooooooooooong!
It had high physical stats, it could use the fire elent in nature with the help of the innate fire that had taken the form of a special kind of energy, and it had developed skills that were nothing less powerful than the (tier-8) spells of the headmaster.
"I apologise…"
-Snap!
-Oooooooooooooooooong!
Still, before an archmage and soone possessing multiple divine and world Authorities, this creature was certainly not an impossible opponent to deal with.
'You are strong.'
The headmaster used his own Mana to create a giant pence of light elent that was also a special (tier-8) spell, however, that first spell was only a distraction.
"Awooooooooooooooo…!"
The mont the wounded beast with white magma like blood flowing out of its wounds used his own breath of deadly explosive flas to block the lance of light, the headmaster conjured another spell— a (tier-9) spell.
'I know you can handle this much.'
He used a combination of all five elents that he could use with the effectiveness of the water elent in the centre of it.
With it, he created a sword in the air that was a twentieth of the giant wolf's size, or twice his own, and when this crystal like blue swords was summoned in the sky above it… for the first ti a genuine look of fear shrouded the eyes of the ferocious being.
It knew this sword, this attack was unlike anything that it had faced until now, and it could sense the danger imdiately.
"Awoooooooo!"
It had counterattacked in response to the previous attack from the headmaster, however, the mont it sensed the danger of the blue sword, it knew it had to do sothing.
It knew its life would be at risk if that attack hurt it in the wrong way so, the mont it sensed the danger that was summoned in the air above it, the wolf-like creature imdiately reacted and tried to get away from it… however, resistance was futile here.
-Swish.
-Kha—Chak!
The sword moved even faster than an eye could blink and, the blue sword, the (tier-9) spell that had manifested in the sa sky the mage had been floating in since the start of this battle, pierced right through the blazing skin of the great creature…
"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
The screams of the being filled the area… it was lucky to have dodged the blade of the spell sword in the very last mont, but it still got its hind leg pierced by it.
"It's alright…"
The creature was already wounded, and now thanks to the dangerous wound that it received, the pain of the cumulative damage was overwhelming all of its special senses.
It was a being born in these lands, a physical being possessing the physical senses like the other normal creatures do.
It could sense the emotions of joy and pain and sadness and hunger just like the normal creatures and the reason it had survived until now in this harsh environnt, was also thanks to its survival instincts.
It wasn't evil or anything, and it had done nothing wrong to either the headmaster or to anyone that he cared about.
Perhaps, that was the main reason the headmaster did not give him any greater wounds than what it currently had.
"Your sacrifice will save countless lives in the future."
This volcanic reigns, this very lang that was burning with the eternal flas of the ancient volcano, was going to be the location for the grand conference of this ti.
The individuals that would attend the conference will be escorted to this location through various underground passages or, so of them will just fly all the way here.
So of them were strong enough to kill every single being in these reigns but, they did not wish for sothing like that to happen so, he had to give out instructions to those crazy ones beforehand.
And after he creates a safe zone for the normal people who could not handle the kind of environnt this place contained, he will finish the rest of the work and go back for the other preparations.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you."
His work for now was done, so he looked into the obsidian eyes of the giant creature that seed to have given up on its life.
"You won't be seeing your ho for a while, I apologise for that. However, please don't worry about anything."
-Oooooooooooooooooooong.
With the support series magic of barrier type, he first created a safe prison to keep the body of this being, and used a unique series of magic to put the creature into a deep slumber that will be impossible for even this one to get out of.
"When you wake up from this long dream… you will not rember anything about this painful experience."
-Oooooooooooooooooong!
Then using the illusion series of magic that he was best at, he weaved an illusionary beast that looked, felt, behaved, and seed exactly like the wounded creature did before receiving all those wounds.
There was no difference between both the creatures, even their Mana signatures were almost identical.
It was as if the being that had just appeared out of nowhere, was in fact the sa creature that the headmaster had been fighting all this ti.
Except, the one that had appeared out of nowhere was a creation of the headmaster, and not of nature.
"Grrrr…"
In its last monts, the creature that was falling into the eternal slumber did certainly see the new being, but… that was the last thing it witnessed before the spell took its effect and its consciousness was sealed.
"Well then…"
So, now that the threat was dealt with and the creature was safely stored in his personal separate dinsion, he had his confidence location.
The headmaster was done with his work now and the ones in charge of cleaning up and basic decorating were already here, so they were now going to start the next thing which, thankfully, would be much easier than dealing with a ferocious creature of that scale.
