Many corpses of humans and beasts were scattered around the streets. Many of the buildings, houses, shops etc had collapsed. Many common people were running around for their life. Mages were fighting the beats but as beasts were a lot in numbers, Human mages couldn’t hold themselves against the beasts and their number gradually dwindled.
Max had his eyes open wide seeing the scene in front of him. It was even more horrifying than the Apocalypse movies he had seen in his previous life. It was utter chaos and destruction.
An ape spotted them and came running towards them at a fast speed and punched in their direction with its muscular arms.
Max who was feeling uneasy seeing all the destruction around him, he was concerned about his father’s safety and when he saw the ape attacking him, his blood boiled in anger. He pointed at the ape and shouted
“Fireball!”
A ball of fire materialised in front of his finger, he then threw it at the upcoming ape’s head. This was the skill he learned by himself. To use this skill he has to channel and rotate his fire elemental mana in front of him at high speeds which was very difficult for him in the beginning but through some practice and a little guidance from Emily he was able to do it, but still, his mana consumption was very high.
The ape didn’t expect the sudden attack and was caught off guard.
BANG!
An explosion occurred when the fireball collided with its head. As Max had attacked in anger and poured all his mana into the attack, the ape’s head exploded in fire. The ape was only comparable to a novice mage and When Max attacked almost using 200 mana points for the attack, there was no chance for its survival.

Lilly who stood by his side was stunned. Although in Garfield manor everyone knew that he could use mana to cultivate his strength and was as strong as a novice mage but She didn’t think that he was this strong, capable of killing a beast of novice mage rank with one attack.
Quickly her eyes widened even more as she realised that the fire he conjured wasn’t the same as others conjured but was his elemental fire. ‘Young master has awakened his element!’ She exclaimed in her mind but at the same time, she felt a little sad because he didn’t tell her about it, even after all the time they spent together.
…
…
“Lilly let’s go. We don’t have time to waste here. I want to make sure everyone is safe.” Max spoke while running toward his home. “These fucking beasts, they didn’t even spare that horse.” He cursed inwardly because he was starting to feel exhausted.
They quickly arrived at the part of town where viscount manor was and the privileged class resided. Here the scene was completely different. Corpses littered the area but most of them were beast corpses.
Most of the one-star and two-star mages resided in this area. So when beasts attacked, every mage present retaliated in kind. Although they successfully killed many beasts, many mages or their families were slaughtered in the meantime, their residences destroyed.
Seeing this Max’s anxiety lessened a little. If even these mages could kill them and survive their all-out assault then there was no doubt his father who was the strongest in Claymore town, could do the same.
Just when Max sighed, there was a loud explosion in Viscount manor’s direction which made him uneasy. He quickly ran toward the area of the explosion.
When he reached there, he saw a man and a silver wolf fighting. The Silver Wolf was more than five meters tall. Its silver fur was glistening in a white glow. It didn’t have any visible injury.
The man who was fighting the silver wolf was his father, Ashton Garfield. He was hovering slightly above the ground. Small wind tornadoes were spinning around him. His golden robe fluttered wildly in the wind. A trail of blood was flowing from the corner of his lips but he didn’t seem to care about it.
Max looked around. Half the area of the viscount estate was destroyed. Many corpses of knights and guards and beasts were strewed around.
“It seems they especially targeted the viscount manor and knights were killed. That’s why I didn’t see any knight helping other people and killing beasts until now.” Max muttered.
Lilly also nodded her head. Little did they know that when beasts attacked all of a sudden, many of their knights ran for the fear of their lives. Only Half of these knights were killed by the beasts, while his father killed the other half when he saw them run away.
“Lilly is that the same silver wolf we saw in the forest?” Max asked but he already knew the answer. If it wasn’t a three-star beast then there was no way it could injure his father.
“No, young master. It’s the three-star beast. The silver wolf we saw was only a two-star beast. Although they look the same but their strength is on different levels.” Lilly answered she knew he was getting anxious or he would find that out just by their size. This silver wolf was almost double the size of the one they had seen in the forest.
…
Ashton caught glimpse of Max and shouted: “Max some of the beasts have entered our manor Although there are knights and butler George but you should also go inside and accompany and make sure your mothers and sisters in law are safe.”
“But father…” Max was interrupted before he could speak any more. “Don’t worry about me. This beast is not enough to kill your father. Go and make sure they are safe and don’t come out until I tell you to.”
Max didn’t say anything anymore and went into the manor with Lilly. He knew he was saying that because he didn’t want him to stay out in the open where he could be attacked at any time or might get killed by the shockwaves of their fight. Inside the manor knights and Butler George who was a peak two-star mage, could save him.
