Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

The next day, it was the assessment day for all students, but everyone met the requirements, and most of them actually surpassed the requirement like Zevien and the gang since they became 3rd class magicians.

The academy clearly understood how much magic crystals were helping students grow, and they were fine with it, as they wanted everyone to surpass 1st class magicians and step on the true path of magic.

…

Time passed as everyone worked hard to learn magic spells and magic occupations and spent their time wisely in their magic labyrinths to progress faster.

Two months later, Zevien, Vernisia, Erica, Dan, Tigger, and Kerolin successfully became 2nd class magicians, leaving everyone behind. After all, six of them had two magic labyrinths, which means double the progress rate.

Everyone got new awakening spells from their magic labyrinths. Vernisia's Shadows of Hex magic labyrinth gave her a new awakening magic spell, but her Primal Elemental Utopia unlocked the 4th style of Primal Conjuring: Devouring Earthly Dragon!

However, they didn't stop their progress there; they continued working hard and exploring their magic labyrinths to find dungeons and quests to get magic and trial crystals!

Another two months later, all of them reached 1st class magicians, while the rest had become 2nd class magicians, creating another wave of commotion!

The next day, after they became 1st class magicians, they upped their game a notch.

There was no more use staying in the academy except for when they had to attend magic occupation classes. As such, they started accepting guild missions to elevate their clan to S rank so they could enter Astral Land while gradually reaching the peak of 1st class magician.

…

Zevien and Vernisia were sitting in their clan mansion's backyard in Heaven's Symphony town while Dan, Erica, Kerolin, and Tigger went to magic guild headquarters to accept some A-rank missions.

The clan had gotten very big after becoming an A-rank clan because an A-rank clan could have 100 members, and forty were inside the mansion's hall right now.

Other members were doing things like training, sparring, or doing missions. Not all of them could accept A-rank missions because only 2nd class and 1st class magicians were allowed to take them.

After thirty minutes, Dan and the others arrived with two A-rank missions.

"So how do we go about this?" Dan said as he put two scrolls on the table before sitting on a chair with the others at the same table.

"Only two A-rank missions?" Zevien asked.

"Yep. The rest of the A-rank missions were taken by other clans. We have to complete these two A-rank missions today, that's it," Dan said with a wry smile.

"You four take one while Zevien and I will take one," Vernisia said with a smile as he picked up the first scroll and read it. "So we have to kill a 2nd-grade beast in the Snowfall region, Limenfrost Fox?"

"We'll be going now since we were bored, hahaha," Zevien said as he and Vernisia flew away. Vernisia also had wings now. They were the result of the awakening spell she got when she reached 2nd class magician, <Shadow Archwings> awakening spell when she reached 2nd class magician.

"There they go," Kerolin wryly smiled.

…

Zevien and Vernisia flew towards the Snowfall region at their full speed.

On the way, they saw several flying ships and other people flying to do their own things. Some people were flying on their fairy spirits while others were traveling with their fairy spirits on a flying boat or ship.

After thirty minutes, they finally arrived at the Snowfall region.

"I'll scan the place," Zevien said before he used his awakening spell <Blood Sense>, which could let him sense any living being with blood running in them around 2 kilometers from him.

Naturally, he could do more than just sense them because he could instantly send his <Blood Hook> towards anything within 2 kilometers of him. The hidden effect of the <Blood Hook> awakening spell was that it could appear beside any place where blood had spilled or near a bleeding target within his sight.

After getting <Blood Sense>, he could combine both spells such that he could instantly teleport his <Blood Hook> towards the living within the radar of his <Blood Sense> spell.

"There are some, but the strongest one is in the northwest. It should be a 2nd or 1st class magic beast," Zevien said before a purple crown appeared over his head, which was the awakening spell he got when he reached 2nd class magician, <Purple Crown>.

With the <Purple Crown> spell activated, he could suppress anyone he sees as long as his will is more powerful than the target. Moreover, once the opponent is suppressed for even a second, the crown above his head activates another effect and seals the mana flow of the opponent for five seconds.

Soon, they arrived in front of the magic beast that Zevien sensed.

*Roarr!!*

But it was not the one they were looking for; instead, it was a 1st-grade magic beast.

"Let me try to suppress it first," Zevien said as he flew in front of the Raging Frost Lion.

*Roarrr!*

The lion roared and was going to attack as powerful mana fluctuations appeared around it. However, Zevien's eyes glowed as his will pressured the lion!

*Roarrr!!*

The lion roared and tried to resist, but its eyes still dimmed for a second and was suppressed before the crown above Zevien's head shone as faint purple chains appeared around the lion before they disappeared into it.

"Let me enslave it," Vernisia said before she waved her hand and used the awakening spell, <Shadow Enslavement> which she got from her first magic labyrinth when she became a 1st class magician.

A ball of shadow shot towards the giant 1st-grade lion magic beast and devoured it into a tiny shadow ball before it went inside Vernisia.

<Shadow Enslavement> is an extremely powerful magic spell. It could result in instant death if the target couldn't resist it, just like that lion.

Since Zevien had suppressed the lion and even sealed its mana, it couldn't resist Vernisia's <Shadow Enslavement> magic spell and died. Moreover, if a target was killed by the <Shadow Enslavement>, then Vernisia could capture it as a shadow being in a shadow orb.

She can use the shadow orb to summon the shadow of the magic beast for a one-time attack, which would be the most powerful attack of the magic beast.

"Let's continue," Zevien said as he had his <Blood Sense> magic spell activated to sense all-powerful creatures around him.

After a few minutes, Zevien found another beast, but even though it was a 2nd-grade magic beast, it was still not the one they wanted to find.

Finally, after thirty minutes of roaming around, they found their target and killed it before stuffing its body into their storage ring.

On their return trip, they used a flying boat instead of flying using their wing-type magic spells.

While they were flying, they saw a fight happening on the ground. Zevien and Vernisia were surprised because there were several 1st class magicians involved.

"What could it be?" Zevien wondered as he moved the flying boat towards them.

However, a shield suddenly appeared below them and blocked them.

"Go away if you don't want to die! We don't want any more competition for this treasure, and if you still insist on coming down, we will attack you!" A middle-aged man shouted from below.

Zevien and Vernisia took a good look below and saw four teams there. Each team had 3 to 4 people and their leaders were 1st class magicians while the rest were 2nd class magicians.

All of them had fifteen meters distance from each other with a magical tree at the center. The tree had four fruits that were glowing with white-blue sparks with a faint rainbow hue exuding from them.

"Hmmm, that is indeed a treasure," Vernisia said after looking at the fruits. "I remember reading about these trees and fruits. The fruits are Magic Amplifying fruits and can boost one's control over magic spells and mana. But they are useless for us since we have reached the peak of our control for now because of Magician Growth Treatment."

Zevien nodded. The ingredients used in the Magician Growth Treatment were way more valuable than these fruits.

"Even if we can't benefit from the fruits, we can't let them go," Zevien grinned. "Let's get those fruits, and then we'll hold an event in the clan."

"What kind of event?" Vernisia asked curiously.

"I'll tell you later. First, let's get the fruits."

"Alright."

Zevien and Vernisia got out of their flying boat and floated in the air as Zevien put the flying boat inside his storage ring.

The four teams looked at Zevien and Vernisia cautiously and looked at them with warnings in their eyes. They meant if Zevien and Vernisia descended, they would directly attack.

"Vernisia, unleash your slaves," Zevien grinned.

"Are you sure? What if they die?" Vernisia asked as she hesitated.

"Nah, it's fine. They can definitely defend themselves. Nobody dies easily these days because of relics and magic items. Moreover, there are four 1st class magicians."

"I get it, haha," Vernisia chuckled as she understood Zevien's intention and unleashed all tens of her shadow slaves.

Ten shadow orbs conjured in front of Vernisia before they spread and turned into shadows of ten gigantic magic beasts! All of them were shadows of 1st class magic beasts!

"Shit!!"

The magicians on the ground panicked, and all of them used defense-type barrier spells before the ten gigantic beasts released their full-powered attack below at the same time!

*BOOOOM…*

"Now it's my turn," Zevien grinned after he saw that all of them were still fine, with little injuries on their bodies.
