Chapter 582: Pausing the Fight
“Wait, can you explain everything? There were no beastform mages among the ancient Aura users previously, so I want you to explain everything about beastform magic in the past so my disciple, Jewel, can learn more,” I said shamelessly.
“...You do know that we’re in the middle of a deathmatch, right?” Timmy asked.
“A deathmatch in the middle of a war. You forced me to do this, so I will get everything I could get from you. Including about beastform magic so my disciple can be stronger. Spot! Come over here! Jewel needs to see this!” I shouted. Loud enough to get Spot and the others who were watching me from afar to hear me.
They were also shocked that Timmy suddenly turned into a dragon. Not a beast, but a monster.

It was common sense that beastform mage can only transform into a beast, and not a monster. But what about over three thousand years ago?
There is a huge difference between a beast and a monster even if they look similar.
A beast is just an animal. Nothing more.
.....
But a monster is different. They could be stronger, smarter, and could even use magic. It’s all because of the mana that they have. Either they absorbed it themselves, or it’s something they were born with.
Evolution. That’s what Timmy said.
It’s something that animals went through to become monster. Which mean for beastform mage, they could transform themselves into a monster if they could evolve.
But let’s hear his explanation first. And it’s a good chance to rest.
Since there’s no advantage we can have by staying in the air, we landed on the ground so Timmy could teach Jewel. And Jewel could share what she learned with Ian.
Although Ian doesn’t seem to be interested in fighting a war, I don’t think he has no interest in getting stronger. If he could get stronger, he could protect Ruby and the others. There’s no reason he would refuse it.
“So, we’re in the middle of a fight and we stopped so you an teach your disciple?” Timmy asked me as he transformed back into his human form.
“Yes,” I replied.
“Aren’t you too shameless to ask someone who you will fight again to death later on?” Timmy asked.
“Then you should have teach Jewel before our fight. You have so much power, but you choose to fight to death instead of joining the war. I won’t ask you anymore why you wanted us to fight, but you should at least teach everything you know to us before either one of us dead,” I said.
“Fine. Well, it won’t take long just to explain it. It’s quite simple. Your name is Jewel? Come here and I will teach you about beastform magic,” Timmy called Jewel.
Jewel then jumped from Spot’s back, and come over to hear Timmy’s lesson. As for me, I’m quite busy even though I’m resting. My mind is.
Right now, I’m resting. But I’m not just catching my breath. I also listened to Timmy’s lesson, while making some strategies using telepathy with my familiars.
Timmy is strong. And Timmy in his dragon form must be much stronger than the human form. I suspected that he should be much stronger than the fire dragon that I fought before.
If he’s a dragon, then what is his beastform before evolving into a monster? Most likely a lizard. And why would he pick a lizard?
Most likely, it’s because of lizard’s ability to regenerate their lost limb. Lizards are a reptile that will cut off their own tail when being approached by danger. But they were fine because their tail can regenerate with time.
The biggest question is, why is someone who was called the strongest picked that animal? A lizard. I don’t think anyone would imagine that they will lose their limb or something. But Timmy picked that animal as his beast transformation. Did he think that he will surely become a dragon?
...Unless he has lost his limb before he awakened as a beastform mage. Or in worse case scenario, the environment he was in was extremely dangerous. So, he needs something to survive. Though that was me. I don’t think Timmy is that kind of person.
And so, I also listened to Timmy’s explanation.
It started from when he awakened his beastform magic. And as one of my guesses, he did lost his right hand before he awakened his elements. But he was already an Aura user by that time.
Thinking that fighting with only one hand is difficult, he became a lizard to regrow his lost limb.
...And I just cut of his right thumb, while he has experienced losing his whole hand. No wonder he was so calm.
Right now, his thumb is slowly regenerating. I don’t care anymore. It’s impossible to win against Timmy right away and it will take a lot of time. It doesn’t make any difference. He’s still stronger than me.
The young Timmy became a lizard and regrow his lost hand. But he also trained in fighting using one hand while holding a katana during his recovery. He said that while looking at me.
Just explain everything to Jewel. You’re just showing off like that.
In his time, beastform are considered to be difficult to increase their level. But when the level increases, the beast that they took form can evolve according to the mage’s imagination of the beast. And the closest and strongest imagination that Timmy had from a lizard was a dragon. Hence he can transform into a dragon.
“So how can I improve my beastform magic?” Jewel asked.
“You need to know more about the animal you’re transforming into, and what evolution they have. As for me, it was simple because I picked a lizard. And the strongest evolution was a dragon. Birds form are the most popular in every era including today’s era. And they evolved into elemental birds or something else. It’s all depend on how you perceive the animal you transformed into, and what evolution you think they could get,” Timmy said.
“So if I imagine strongly that my rhinoceros form can be an elemental rhino with... let’s say earth element, that means I can have another element?” Jewel asked.
“Like me. I was only an earth mage and a beastform mage. But after transforming into a dragon, I can breathe fire. Although the fire magic I can use is limited, I still got an extra element long after my first awakening,” Timmy said.
Oh, I learned something. Not just about beastform. But also about Timmy.
Earth mage, dragon beastform mage, and he can also use fire magic. But what about his Aura ability? He hasn’t revealed it yet.
“I see... In fact, I haven’t even seen what a real rhinoceros look like. Only from books and the form Victoria transformed into when I asked her. But if it’s from imagination, I don’t need to see it for real. And the evolution, I’ll just find the monster myself,” Jewel said with conviction.
No need to see it for real? If it’s all imagination, I think that’s for the best. I can just give her the suggestion of what rhino is really is, and if she believes it, she could be much stronger than an original rhino.
...That sounds like hypnosis. Well, I’ll just tell her if she asks me.
“Master! I want to go to Monsters World! I should be able to find a monster similar to a rhino over there. Even if the cult is starting to move, I don’t think they will use everything they have right away. I’ll get stronger first until that time,” Jewel said.
“...Alright. Go back and tell Lina about it. After all, if I die here, you won’t be able to return. So you need to ask Lina. Maybe you can ask Sunny to go with you as well. Good luck,” I said to Jewel as I opened a portal toward Lina’s location.
If she brought Sunny with her, Lina can open a portal for her to return in case I die today.
“I’m coming with her. I feel like I’m not strong enough,” Wendy said as she entered the portal with Jewel.
She also came here to watch. But seems like she also want to train more. And it’s much better than just sending Jewel by herself.
“Well, now that it’s over, should we continue?” Timmy asked.
“Now that you have revealed your other element, how about you reveal your Aura ability as well while we’re at it? So we don’t have to stop the fight again later,” I said.
“You know what? We don’t have to stop the fight at all. I can just continue fighting you even if you ask me to stop. But it’s my fault that I didn’t teach Jewel before our fight. And it’s not like you can do anything with it as well even if you know,” Timmy said confidently.
This is great. The unknowns won’t be unknown anymore. I finally learned about his Aura ability.
“My ability is...”
When I heard about his ability, I can only feel rage. I will kill him no matter what!
