Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

The Royal Mammothseemed to sense the danger. Its body lit up with a golden glow, trying to resist the oncoming red beam.

In the next second, the red beam struck the Royal Mammoth's body but then quickly disappeared, sinking directly into the beast.

Everyone waited for a few seconds and realized that the Royal Mammoth didn't appear to be harmed. They all turned their puzzled gazes toward Sylvus, who was sitting in his shop.

They had seen that the red beam had been released by Sylvus.

"Hahaha, I thought you had some formidable tricks, but it turns out you're just weaklings. You can't even hurt my mount. Karlo, kill them!" Mondor, who had previously been in a miserable state, stood up, his eyes filled with pride.

No wonder the Royal Mammoth had always been the mount of choice for the Dwarven Clan leaders. Even at the seventh rank, it had managed to withstand the power of a Magus Emperor for quite some time.

Meylan frowned slightly. The Royal Mammoth was renowned for its defense and strength. Although Meylan was a Magus Emperor, he couldn't compete with the mammoth in raw physical power.

To kill the Royal Mammoth, he would need to use a powerful spell. But with so many people around, if he used a spell too destructive, the death toll would be much higher than just the mammoth.

At the same time, Meylan was puzzled. The attack that Sylvus had launched earlier clearly came from him, but why hadn't it affected the Royal Mammoth?

Hearing Mondor's voice, the Royal Mammoth roared once more, its eyes filled with murderous intent as it looked toward Meylan. Its body glowed with a red light, clearly preparing to strike Meylan down.

"It seems I'll have to transport this creature somewhere else to finish it off," Meylan thought, as he was about to cast his spatial teleportation magic.

But just then, the Royal Mammoth suddenly paused, and fear filled its eyes.

"AAA...!" The beast roared in pain.

Meylan and the others quickly looked over.

To their surprise, a wave of fire had erupted from the Royal Mammoth's body. This fire emitted a powerful energy that began to rapidly consume the beast's life force.

Seconds later, loud cracking sounds came from within the mammoth's body.

In front of everyone's eyes, the once-mighty Royal Mammoth suddenly exploded.

Its remains quickly flew in the direction of Sylvus's shop.

"It looks like it's been roasted perfectly," Sylvus said calmly as he put away his Heavenly Extreme Cannon.

His gaze shifted to the steaming golden chunks of meat in front of him. A rich aroma began to spread through the alley.

Earlier, Sylvus had seen that Meylan was having trouble dealing with the Royal Mammoth, so he decided to use his Heavenly Extreme Cannon. It was also a good opportunity to test its power.

Equipped with energy blocks fueled by celestial fire, the cannon unleashed a force that could kill anything below the level of a Mage Emperor. Naturally, the Royal Mammoth couldn't withstand such power.

"You... you... you actually killed my mount!" Mondor, who had been gloating just moments earlier, now snapped back to reality.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at Sylvus from afar.

Meylan, standing nearby, shook his head silently. He had thought that Sylvus's attack had no effect on the mammoth, but clearly, he had misjudged the situation.

"Meylan, cripple him for me," Sylvus said nonchalantly.

At the same time, he tore off a piece of the mammoth meat and tasted it.

"Not bad, just needs a little salt," he remarked.

"You... I'll kill you!" Mondor roared in fury as he charged toward Sylvus.

*Boom...!*

But before Mondor could make a move, Meylan appeared in front of him in an instant. With a single slap, Mondor spat out blood, and his cultivation was crippled on the spot.

"If you don't leave now, prepare to die," Meylan said with a smirk, looking at Mondor and Kaemi.

"Your Highness, let's go!" Kaemi gritted his teeth, realizing they couldn't win today. He hurriedly rushed to Mondor's side and helped him leave quickly.

As Meylan watched Mondor and Kaemi flee, he didn't bother to chase them.

Since Sylvus hadn't ordered them to be killed, Meylan figured that Sylvus had plans to extort more money from them later.

"Stick around, you should stay and try some top-tier magical beast meat," Sylvus said with a smile to Corwin.

"Thank you, boss," Corwin's eyes lit up.

It was said that the Royal Mammoth had been extinct for ages. Even though the Stanway family was incredibly wealthy, they had never had the chance to taste such a rare beast.

Sylvus didn't say much more, and Meylan returned to the shop to continue selling elixirs.

The crowd in the alley, however, looked at Sylvus with even more awe.

No one could believe that Sylvus wasn't afraid of the dwarven prince. Not only had he killed the prince's mount, but he had also crippled his power.

The Dwarven Clan wouldn't let this go easily.

At the same time, many people felt a sense of regret.

After all, the Royal Mammoth was a rare and powerful beast. If it had been tamed and kept alive, it would have been an incredible asset.

But that wasn't something they could control.

All they knew was that the man lounging in his chair, casually eating melon seeds, was the same man who had destroyed a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

Sylvus, however, didn't seem to care about any of that. A Royal Mammoth? He killed it as if it were nothing.

Would Sylvus, of all people, need a Royal Mammoth to boost his reputation?

The alley quickly returned to normal, and the crowd resumed their orderly purchases of elixirs.

Before long, the enforcers arrived at the scene, led by Reggie.

When Reggie learned what had happened, he could only smile bitterly.

"As expected of the boss, he hasn't changed at all," Reggie thought. Even when facing a prince of the dwarves, Sylvus didn't bat an eye, and even crippled the man's power.

"Why are you all standing around? Clean this place up," Reggie said to his subordinates.

As for Sylvus crippling Mondor, well, that was a matter for the emperor to consider. It wasn't something Reggie could deal with, nor did he want to.

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Sacred City.

The owner of the Eastern Elixir Shop, Sylvus, had not only roasted the mount of a Dwarven prince in the street but had also crippled the prince's power.

When the news spread, many people were shocked.

But many others weren't too surprised.

"Crippling a prince? Sylvus's done worse things before."

However, this was the first time anyone had heard of him eating someone's mount, and they couldn't help but wonder how it tasted.

Though the news spread quickly, it didn't stay on people's minds for long.

After all, in their view, if Sylvus didn't do something shocking from time to time, he wouldn't be the Sylvus they knew.

Meanwhile, in the Bork Empire's palace, four figures stood in the grand hall, with Emperor Boone seated on the throne.
