Chapter 343 - Destruction of the Beast Sect, Rewards
The Beast Sect’s guardian magical beast was actually just a puppet magical beast that had not gone berserk and wreaked havoc. It had also attached itself to a Divine Mage whose mind was on the verge of collapse and used the Mage to control the magical beast.
The magical secret techniques passed down from ancient times by the Beast Sect could generally only allow the disciples to stay in a half-magical beast state at most. After that, if the limit was crossed a little, the Mage who was the host would die, and the magical beast sealed in his body would break out of its shell.
However, this guardian magical beast, which had been passed down since the founding of the Beast Sect, had been transformed by a Divine Mage into a puppet magical beast that could be passed down forever.
A guardian magical beast was already difficult to nurture, let alone a level-8 one.
This magical beast, which had once accompanied the Beast Sect for thousands of years, had broken away forever from its duty to protect the Beast Sect under the successive attacks of the Five-Color Peacock and Zoro.
After sensing that Norton had already used the second transformation of the Skyfiend Three Transformations, Zoro did not hold back anymore. He also activated his magical power to enter the second transformation. The Five-Color Peacock also increased its strength. Under the ferocious attack of the combination of man and beast, the guardian magical beast was quickly killed!!
The low-level, level-8 guardian magical beast had already died, so how could the Beast Sect not be destroyed?
After the battle had ended, Zoro retreated to the side temporarily because of the battle losses. The Five-Color Peacock, on the other hand, was in high spirits as it charged toward the battlefield of Bourget and Norton!
Bourget roared in fear and resisted desperately for a while. In the end, Norton’s Formation-Breaking Spear pierced his chest!!
However, because of his level, Norton’s shot did not successfully kill the magical beast in Bourget’s body.
With the death of the Divine Mage, a huge level-7 lizard magical beast broke out of his body, and the intense battle continued.
Like the magical beast that had broken through the body earlier, this level-7 lizard was also in a berserk state. It did not distinguish between friend and foe, destroying everything it saw and killing everyone it saw.
The Beast Sect building, which Bourget had deliberately avoided during the battle earlier, was almost fully destroyed this time. Countless members of the Beast Sect died under the brutality of the magical beast.
In the end, the level-7 magical beast that had charged out from Sect Master Bourget’s body died under Norton’s Demon-Killing Chant.
When the Sect Master of the Beast Sect was killed with a single shot, the group of Great Archmagi from the Beast Sect could no longer gather their fighting spirit. Surrounded by the group of Great Archmagi from the Nicholas family, they could not escape even if they wanted to. The entire battle situation was completely crushed.
By the time the level-7 lizard that had broken out of its shell was killed, there were only four or five Great Archmagi still alive in the Beast Sect.
Then, Norton and Zoro retreated from the battlefield to the Sacred Mist Ferry. Some of the Great Archmagi, who had lost too much combat strength and were seriously injured, also returned to the ferry to rest.
At this point, there were only some loose ends to tie up.
In the end, the few Great Archmagi who had stubbornly resisted were quickly killed by everyone. Jimmy and the other clansmen of the Nicholas family had also returned to rest. Some retainers who were in a good combat state had charged into the Beast Sect and killed everyone they saw…
—Common Rule: Fight the enemy and kill them all!!

[Ding! Family clan’s mission to destroy the Beast Sect has been completed.]
[Received the following rewards.]
[Family Clan Guardian Spirit Beast Bloodline Continuation Activation Talisman x 1, Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talismans exclusively for Spirit Beast x 10, Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talismans x 20, Tenfold Cultivation Speed Talismans x 50, Realm Breakthrough Protection Talismans x 10, Talent Strengthening Talismans x 5, and Special Talent Strengthening Talismans x 3.]
[One random sacred tool, one random heaven-tier secret manual of magical power. One Surprise Treasure Chest to choose one out of three options and one high-grade Faith Doubling Talisman.]
The System notifications sounded, indicating that the Beast Sect had disappeared from the magical world.
The rewards given by the System this time were considered generous. They were only a little better than the rewards given previously for the destruction of the Mu Guang Pavilion.
However, in the process of destroying the Beast Sect, Romo did not make a move at all. He was completely watching the real-time broadcast. The descendants had already completed the mission.
Among the mission rewards obtained this time, there were two high-grade auxiliary talismans for the exclusive use of the Guardian Spirit Beast. It was not known if they were related to the outstanding performance of the Five-Color Peacock in this battle.
[Guardian Spirit Beast Bloodline Continuation Activation Talisman: Upon consumption, it can activate the bloodline continuation of the Guardian Spirit Beast.]
One of the core differences between magical beasts and Magi was that magical beasts relied entirely on themselves to cultivate magical power. Magi would often create magical power that was suitable for all kinds of people to cultivate. Therefore, the speed at which humans cultivated magical power was usually far faster than that of magical beasts.
Compared to humans, the growth rate of magical beasts was about the speed of a turtle. However, magical beasts could live for a long time and the emphasis was more on the accumulation with time.
However, it was rumored that there had been high-level spirit beasts in the ancient magical world. They had secret cultivation techniques similar to human magical power. They could also integrate the secret cultivation techniques into their bloodline and extend them to the next generation.
The higher the level of the spirit beast’s bloodline and the purer it was, the more likely it was to activate the secret cultivation technique that had been passed down from the bloodline.
However, the number of spirit beasts on this magic continent was decreasing. Until now, not to mention the bloodline level, even the spirit beasts that could stimulate the bloodline continuation were almost extinct.
Even among the two strongest factions on the Magic Continent, the spirit beasts protecting the Earth Origin Sacred Land or the Divine Mountain Immortal Island, there had not been anyone who had activated the bloodline continuation.
Therefore, the Bloodline Continuation Activation Talisman in the family mission reward was an extremely valuable high-grade auxiliary tool for the Five-Color Peacock.
Of course, Romo was not in a hurry to use it. It was better to use it after the Five-Color Peacock returned to the Nicholas family.
The two random items: one was a sacred tool, and the other was a heaven-tier magical manual. They were respectively a medium-grade sacred tool, the Magic Robe, and a heaven-tier secret manual.
[Command Confirmation: Use the choose-one-out-of-three Surprise Treasure Box… successfully used.]
[Three choices: 1. Heaven-tier magical power secret technique; 2. Family Clan Formation Enhancement Talisman; 3. Top-grade sacred weapon, Sword Kernel.]
Romo picked the top-grade sacred weapon, the Sword Kernel, again. He only thought for a moment before deciding on this reward.
Later, he would be able to combine this newly obtained sacred weapon, the Sword Kernel, with the top-grade sacred weapon, the Sword Embryo, which Lily had carried for ten years to form a real top-grade sacred weapon, the Flying Sword!
As for the other System tools, Romo temporarily placed them in the System inventory.
… . .
While the Old Ancestor Romo was counting the rewards for the family mission of destroying the Beast Sect, Norton and the others were doing the final work of destroying the Beast Sect.
In this battle to exterminate the Beast Sect, the Nicholas family had suffered a total of eight casualties. Three retainers had died, and among the five seriously injured, one of the clansmen had been seriously injured. He was Lotte from the 15th generation, and he had been injured to protect his descendants.
With an extremely small casualty rate, they had annihilated the entire Lassie Kingdom’s Beast Clan in one fell swoop. It could be said that they had returned victorious.
At this point, the entire Beast Sect had been annihilated.
Half of the clansmen and retainers who were in a good state were searching for treasures in the Beast Sect, and the other half were searching everywhere in case there were any members of the Beast Sect who had hidden themselves or escaped.
After a while, a retainer returned to report the situation to Norton.
“Family Head, 450 kilometers southwest, there is a pile of the remains of the Beast Sect members who had been torn and shredded by magical beasts. They had probably fled secretly during the battle earlier. Now, they are all dead… It looks like they had bumped into magical beasts that were above level-6.”
