Chapter 49: Chapter49-Thomas’s Limit
From a bird's-eye view, the interwoven violet light patterns formed what looked like a blooming violet flower bud, enveloping every villager within its petals.
Under the glow of the violet light, the villagers' skin took on a purplish hue, and their elemental energy became unstable. Then, walls of earth suddenly rose from the ground, towering and impenetrable, cutting them off from one another.
The villagers had been focused on forming their usual battle formation, but before they could react, this sudden turn of events shattered their coordination.
The intricate formation glyphs that had just begun to take shape collapsed instantly, sending shockwaves through their bodies.
Many coughed up blood, their eyes wide in shock as they stared at the earth walls that had appeared around them.
So, this is the power of the Five Eyes spellbeasts?
These pre-tier-5 spellbeasts were not only terrifying in combat but also exceptionally cunning.
Now that they were separated, they could no longer channel their combined strength into Thomas.
Even though Thomas was powerful, he couldn't take on the Five Eyes spellbeasts alone.
As soon as the villagers were divided, the formation they had been attempting to form vanished completely.
Seizing the moment, Dark Turtle and Cerulean Butterfly immediately launched fierce attacks, charging straight at Thomas.
Dark Turtle hurled massive black meteors, their descent tearing through the air with an ear-piercing shriek.
Meanwhile, Cerulean Butterfly released a storm of poisonous phosphorescent dust, which shredded trees and boulders as it surged toward Thomas.
Thomas's gaze turned cold.
Instead of blocking the attack head-on, he rushed toward Crimson Bat King and Azure Wolf King.
These two were the weakest among the Five Eyes spellbeasts and had just been suppressed by his divine aura—making them the perfect targets to eliminate first.
The moment Thomas locked onto them, both Crimson Bat King and Azure Wolf King felt an icy chill run down their spines.
For an instant, fear overtook them.
But soon, rage consumed them, and the air around them surged with violent elemental power.
"A lowly human dares to attack a noble spellbeast? You deserve death!"
"You think we're easy prey just because those villagers aren't empowering you? Let's see who should really be afraid!"
Azure Wolf King swiped its claws through the air, tearing reality itself, leaving three deep black gashes in space.
But just as its attack was about to reach Thomas,
chaotic, turbulent energy erupted from Thomas's body.
A towering inferno ignited around him, and dense mist billowed outward from his form—
—before violently detonating!
Fireball!
Mist Spell!
The two skills combined, magnified by the golden radiance of his divine power.
Above them, the sky turned into a blazing orange-red expanse, resembling the fiery hues of sunset.
Azure Wolf King, charging at the forefront, was instantly swallowed by the explosion—as if it had leapt straight into a furnace.
Its fur was instantly incinerated, its skin scorched black, and its body trembled uncontrollably.
A shrill, agonized howl tore through the air.
It tried to escape, but its limbs wouldn't obey.
Terror of impending death flooded its mind.
Regret clawed at its thoughts.
If only it hadn't tried to take the lead, perhaps it wouldn't be dying now!
As Azure Wolf King burned, Crimson Bat King sensed the danger immediately.
It frantically flapped its leathery wings, attempting to retreat to safety.
BOOM!
But the scorching shockwave expanded too fast.
The searing heatwave engulfed it, charring its skin in an instant.
Without feathers to protect it, the high temperatures burned straight through its wings, turning them into smoldering skeletal remains.
Its body spasmed violently, and with a horrific screech, it plummeted from the sky.
THUD!
With Crimson Bat King's death,
the two weakest spellbeasts of the Five Eyes had been completely annihilated.
Watching their allies perish, Cerulean Butterfly and Dark Turtle erupted in fury.
"THOMAS, YOU'RE DEAD!"
"YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WILL DIE HERE TODAY!"
Their roars shook the forest, snapping trees in half, sending leaves cascading like a storm.
The spellbeasts' rage was now unleashed in full force.
Countless boulders rained from the sky, targeting not only Thomas but also the villagers.
If Thomas dodged, the villagers—who lacked his strength—would be crushed instantly.
Meanwhile, Amethyst Fox, the one controlling the formation, redirected its focus to attack the villagers.
Since Thomas had killed their comrades, they would slaughter his people as payment!
As for Cerulean Butterfly, its body shimmered and faded from view, becoming nearly invisible, like an assassin lurking in the shadows, waiting for a fatal strike.
Now that all three pre-tier-5 spellbeasts had engaged,
Thomas frowned.
He wasn't worried about fighting all three at once—
—but he was furious that they were targeting the villagers instead.
These villagers were his comrades.

They were the future of Annasi.
They were the chosen of Deus Initium.
If any of them died here, he wouldn't be able to face Deus Initium or his people again.
His killing intent surged to its peak.
With a cold gleam in his eyes, Thomas activated Mist Spell to the extreme.
A vast sea of mist spread across the battlefield, enveloping everyone within.
Within the mist, the villagers could sense the danger—
—and more importantly, they could feel Thomas's message.
At once, every single awakened villager gathered their power and launched their strongest fireballs toward the falling meteors.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of explosions shook the battlefield, as fireballs collided with the descending rocks, igniting a devastating chain reaction.
"If all of you were tier-3 or above, maybe I'd have to worry.
"But you're just tier-1 and tier-2 awakeners!"
Dark Turtle let out a mocking laugh, raising its massive leg before slamming it down toward them.
BOOM!
The fireballs were instantly overwhelmed, and the meteors continued their descent.
Just as they were about to shatter the villagers,
a golden light erupted from Thomas.
A terrifying divine force surged forth, obliterating every last meteor in the sky.
"A god?!"
Dark Turtle and the others froze in shock, their attacks halting mid-air as they stared at Thomas in horror.
"No! That's not a god—it's their elemental energy combined into a divine manifestation!"
Amethyst Fox gasped, realization dawning upon it.
But how was this possible?
The villagers had been separated—how could they still channel their power into Thomas?
Just as this doubt filled its mind,
Thomas—merged with the golden figure—struck with an earth-shattering blow.
His palm fell like a mountain, slamming directly onto Dark Turtle's shell.
CRACK!
Dark Turtle's legendary defenses—unmatched among the Five Eyes—shattered.
The ground beneath it split apart, cracks spreading in every direction.
Amethyst Fox's eyes shrank in terror.
Just as it prepared to act,
Thomas's other hand lashed out—grabbing it in an unbreakable grip.
"YOU DARE ATTACK THE DEVOTEES OF DEUS INITIUM? YOU COURT DEATH!"
His cold, authoritative voice thundered through the battlefield.
Amethyst Fox's mind momentarily blanked, and before it could react—
—it was already clutched in Thomas's grasp.
In an instant, the tide of battle had turned—
—the three remaining pre-tier-5 spellbeasts were now on the defensive!
