The First Magic World War

Charles did not dare to continue showing off his strength. He pulled out a mirror and with a casual wave, captured the brother of Red Hawk inside it. Ever since he had cultivated the Infinite Mirror Realm, he often carried a mirror with him for the convenience of storing items.

With this burden gone, Charles crashed into the crowd of Beastmen, first snatching a piece of leather armor, then a pair of trousers from another, and a helmet from a third Beastman's head. At the same time, he executed the Beast God Shapeshifting Art, transforming into a Silverback Ape Person, rolled on the spot, and blended into the Beastman army, shouting along with the surrounding Beastmen. In such a chaotic battle, most of the Beastmen's vision was obstructed, only a very few could see Charles. In the midst of changing his outfit and appearance, he also conveniently slaughtered a few and managed to conceal himself effortlessly.

This trick of deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea, he had seen it used by the major antagonist Chu Xiangyu back when he read Wen Ruian's martial arts novels, and now, mimicking it, the effect was no different.

The Beastmen realized that suddenly their enemy was gone and began frantically searching everywhere, and Charles also joined in their chaotic search. From time to time, he looked up at the sky, only to see a layer of mist high above, clueless about the progress of the battle.

Charles thought to himself, "The last time I severely injured Qiudelo, the battle lasted a long time; this time, dealing with the stronger and fiercer Amis Fidath, the fight might last for a day or two."

He slightly circulated his Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit, and to his surprise, found that the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit could still operate without hindrance; it just had its attribute changed and was no longer that of a Hunchback Red Bear Warrior. The initially condensed special ability "Bear Strength" had disappeared, but as the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit flowed, another Bloodthirsty Rune faintly began to form.

Upon noticing this, Charles was suddenly startled and thought to himself, "So, when a Beastman transforms into a human, their power is sealed, and similarly when a human transforms into a Beastman, their power is also sealed. But when a Beastman transforms into another Tribe's Beastman, the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit isn't sealed, it just switches to another Tribe's attributes?"

He looked up at the sky again and suddenly felt, "The Old Leopard Man is hiding quite deeply!"

What he could sense, Tumishen as the creator surely knew well. In other words, an Old Leopard Man transforming into another type of Beastman could easily switch the attribute of the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit. Although it doesn't enhance the limit of the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit, it enables the freedom to switch the attribute of the power, making the combat techniques varied and unpredictable.

Of course, this was not because Tumishen was overly strategic, but rather a secret laid by the eternal and illusory Dragon.

All Beastmen cultivate the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit, and even though the Beastman Shapeshifting Art cannot break the barriers of the Transcendent, the essence of the power allows free manipulation.

For the first time, Charles felt that the deity of this Beastman had put quite an effort into the Beastmen, possibly with some unimaginable grand scheme for humans?

Charles secretly pondered, "Tumishen thought it was he who moved the Eternal Fish and the Illusion Dragon, but looking at the connection between the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit and the Beastman Shapeshifting Art, even without him, the Dragon God might still pass down this Secret Technique and promote it among the Beastmen."

"I know too little to guess what the Dragon God wants to do."

"But whatever can make a deity scheme, is definitely not that simple."

Charles felt a mild itch on his back as the brand new Bloodthirsty Rune finally solidified.

This Bloodthirsty Rune was—Vajra!

It could make an Ape Person's body as tough as steel, significantly increasing strength.

The strength of an Ape Person, of course, was not as great as that of a Bear Person, and Vajra's increase in strength was also not as much as Bear Strength, but Vajra added a reinforcement to the physique, making its effect in actual combat no less than Bear Strength.

Charles shook his body, his Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit was still at Second Order, and his combat power compared to when he transformed into a Hunchback Red Bear Warrior was not much different, just that his combat style had slightly changed. In terms of strength attributes, both the Ape and Bear People relied on brute force in battle, but the Ape Person was more flexible.

Pretending to search for a while, Charles soon withdrew from the crowd of Beastmen who were frantically searching for the enemy, and began to run wildly around the Beastman camp.

This Lion-slaying mission was not his main focus, but his participation did not raise any suspicions.

This was Charles's current status; even among those of the Sacred Order, he could hold his own, but he was not willing to merely rely on this kind of "face" to maintain his status. He could not be idle; he had to do something.

Otherwise, as his inability to show his usefulness increasingly surfaced, his status would still decline.

Charles intentionally walked toward more secluded areas. Whenever he encountered small groups of Beastmen, like a dozen or so, or several dozens, he would knock them all out and then send them to Red Cliff City through the Mind Passage.

After making a round, he had already sent away hundreds of Beastmen. Although in a camp housing hundreds of thousands of Beastmen, these few hundred were negligible, they still counted as an achievement.

As Charles wandered around, he suddenly spotted a small campsite different from the others, accommodating Beastmen of every Tribe, but most of them were slightly crippled and the atmosphere in this small camp was very sad, showing the Beastmen to be more disheartened than elsewhere.

Looking around, seeing that this place was isolated from other camps, Charles harbored malicious intentions, reverted back to human form, and with Blood Rose in action, his movement technique swift as the wind, he quickly killed six or seven people.

The Beastmen immediately panicked, shouting and yelling. However, with shouts filling the camp from the Sacred Ones fighting fiercely in the sky and the camp searching for "spies," the shouting from this campsite did not draw the attention of other Beastmen.
