Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race-Chapter 110 - Seven Great Powers

Philip Kingdragon, the third prince and court mage, observed all of Rygar's spells with an evaluative gaze.

The vast, destroyed plain where they were gathered was now unrecognizable.

After completing all the spells he had come to learn that day, Rygar took a deep breath and relaxed his shoulders. Philip stepped forward, his professional posture and solemn voice filling the space:

"Very well, Mr. Rygar. Considering the spells you 'confiscated' from Milis during your time there, and those you have previously demonstrated mastery over, it is time to establish your official classifications. By the position of Court Mage, granted to me by my father, the thirty-second king of the Kingdom of the Dragon King, King Leonard, I hereby officially confer upon you, recognized by a kingdom, the following magical classifications."

Philip paused briefly before continuing:

"Advanced-level Mage in Divine Attack Magic. Saint-level Mage in Healing, Detoxification, and Barrier Magic. King-level Mage in Water and Fire Magic."

The ensuing silence was filled with murmurs of surprise from Rygar's companions. Even those who were already accustomed to his abilities seemed impressed.

Philip maintained his neutral expression; his impartiality in the face of the extraordinary was something Rygar greatly admired.

"These classifications, in addition to your previous titles as King of Earth and Wind, make you one of the highest-rated mages in the entire world, highlighting your extraordinary mana capacity, being able to cast all these Holy and King-level spells without resting for a single minute," Philip concluded, lowering his notebook.

There was a brief moment of silence before he continued:

"Furthermore, due to your magical discoveries—including the ability to conjure without chants, magic for breathing underwater, and 'flight' magic, as well as several unnamed spells of various classifications—and as an incentive for you to share this knowledge in the future, the branch of the Mage Guild of the Kingdom of the Dragon King grants you the A classification within the organization."

Rygar's eyes gleamed slightly with interest. Philip continued, remaining expressionless.

"We have already sent letters to all the major magical organizations around the world. This will be official shortly. All that remains now is to deliver your identification plaque."

He reached into the pocket of his robe and withdrew a shining silver plaque, engraved with symbols and inscriptions of your classifications, which only high-ranking mages possessed. With a formal gesture, he handed it to Rygar, who accepted it with a nonchalant expression.

Eris, frowning, mumbled:

"I didn't understand almost anything!"

Aisha laughed and answered excitedly:

"The master is incredible!"

Ghislaine, on the other hand, was wagging her tail, a reflection of her satisfaction and enthusiasm. This caught Rygar's attention, and for a brief moment, he diverted his gaze toward her with a lustful look.

However, he quickly dismissed those thoughts and returned his attention to Philip.

"Thank you, Philip," he said with a small smile.

"I imagine that this idea of asking me to share my magical knowledge came more from the elders of the Mage Guild than from you?"

Philip blinked, slightly surprised, before confirming:

"That is true..."

Rygar smiled inwardly. He had spent enough time with Philip to understand his personality fairly well. As long as he was surrounded by books and there was knowledge to be acquired, he cared about nothing else. It's a pity, Rygar thought, that Philip is only human and doesn't have enough time to read and research everything he desires.

With a determined nod, he declared:

"Very well, let's head back! We will depart from the capital tomorrow night!"

---

The group began the journey back to the capital, but instead of heading straight to the main gates, they decided to take a shortcut that would lead them directly to the group's temporary residence.

The route was slightly different from the way there, as it bypassed the main road and went in a straight line to the house. But they ended up finding a new road that appeared to be abandoned.

Philip soon bid farewell to the group with a polite wave and walked off alone toward the palace, probably eager to dive into some library and continue his studies.

Rygar watched his departure with a slight smile. He appreciated Philip's impartial personality and his hunger for knowledge. If he were any different, perhaps he could have been an interesting research companion.

As they walked, they conversed about trivial matters and the next stages of their journey, until Eidar suddenly stopped and pointed ahead.

"What is that?"

Everyone followed Eidar's gaze and saw a large stone tablet embedded in the ground, with bright inscriptions on its surface.

Rygar looked for a moment and immediately recognized what it was, explaining naturally:

"This is a stone that lists the Seven Great World Powers! It is written in the language of the Fighting God."

The mention of the Seven Great Powers immediately captured everyone's attention. The group gathered around the tablet, carefully observing the carved characters on the rocky surface.

Aisha, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, asked:

"Master, are you here?"

Rygar smiled at the little one's innocent question and lightly patted her head.

"Not yet, little one. But one day I will be."

Aisha looked at him with admiration and, with a gleam of expectation in her eyes, asked:

"And me? Will I be there?"

Rygar fell silent for a moment, pondering the question before giving an enigmatic smile.

"Who knows?"

Eris then crossed her arms, puffing out her chest in determination.

"I will definitely be there!"

Eidar laughed loudly at the confidence of the redhead.

"It's harder than it seems, Eris. Even the Water Goddess is not there. Only the very best among the best can hold those positions."

Eris frowned, reflecting on her friend's words, before asking:

"So what are the names?"

Rygar pointed to the engraved characters and read them one by one:

"The God Technique, the Dragon God, the Fighting God, the Demon God, the Death God, the Sword God, and the North God."

Ghislaine tilted her head slightly to the side, intrigued.

"Rygar, if you defeat my master using magic and other styles, what title would you have?"

Eris immediately replied, as if it were obvious:

"Wouldn't it be the Mage God?"

Lilia pondered and suggested:

"Perhaps the God of Magic... Or Animal God?"

Eidar crossed his arms and said:

"Of course, it would be Beast God!"

The group began to speculate about what title Rygar would receive once he finally reached that level.

Curiously, no one questioned "if" he would get there, only "when." It was an established fact to all of them.

After all, what were the great heroes of history doing at Rygar's age? Compared to them, he had already achieved impressive feats: he mastered several schools of magic and swordsmanship at the King level, constantly created new techniques, and was capable of facing legendary monsters and renowned warriors.

Moreover, his growth showed no signs of slowing down, as long as he didn't die, he would catch up.

Estimating that he would reach the level of the Seven Powers before the age of twenty was not an exaggeration, but a conservative projection.

Ghislaine crossed her arms and commented thoughtfully:

"I don't know how the classifications on these stones work... But maybe, if you defeat my master using only the Sword God style, you would become the Sword God?"

Rygar reflected for a moment and said:

"The title, in itself, doesn't matter as much. What matters is being on that list with a title so that everyone knows it's me. That would put enormous pressure on my enemies and greatly facilitate finding new allies."

Eidar nodded, agreeing with the reasoning.

"In fact. Among the current Seven Powers, there are no records of any being affiliated with a kingdom. Asura has the Water God and is already considered the strongest military force among the kingdoms."

Rygar raised an eyebrow and looked at Eidar with interest.

"Perhaps you want to be the Water God, Eidar?"

Eidar laughed and shrugged.

"Why not? After all, my fiancée is the granddaughter of the Water Goddess! I can't be left behind."

Lilia then recalled a curious detail and commented:

"In fact, Eidar, your name is very similar to that of the founder of the Water God style, Reidar."

Rygar raised an eyebrow with interest.

"Does that have any meaning or is it just an homage?"

Eidar brought his hand to his chin, thoughtful.

"I don't know... I never really thought much about it. My parents said it was an homage, but they never said to whom. And... they died before I could ask more."

The group fell silent for a moment in light of that revelation, but soon Rygar diverted his gaze back to the tablet and posed a new question.

'How does this stone transmit information among itself?'

Basically, it was a means of long-distance communication. That was a huge breakthrough. Why hasn't anyone replicated this yet? Why are we still stuck with letters?

Another item was added to his ever-growing list of objectives: to replicate this system and make it a stable means of communication.

Eris broke the silence once again, full of confidence.

"Rygar will be number one eventually! Then I'll be fine being number six or seven, as long as I'm there!"

Rygar laughed and responded:

"I don't know the exact strength of a god, since I've never fought one, but I believe that you all have a chance—at least Ghislaine, Eidar, Eris, and Aisha do."

Eidar, Aisha, and Eris smiled at the statement; Ghislaine remained serious, though the corner of her lip curved slightly.

Skoll barked in protest.

"Woof!"

Rygar looked at him and said, "Skoll... if you want to reach god-level, you'd have to grow wings, start spitting fire and ice, and change your name to Fenrir."

Skoll snorted and turned his head away.

Eris asked, "Who is Fenrir?"

Rygar said with a smile, "No one important."

Then they resumed their journey back to their temporary home, chatting and exchanging playful banter.

In the future, this scene would be remembered by the three warriors in the group who had indeed achieved a position among the Seven Great World Powers.

As for who they were? Well, only destiny would say.

---

When they arrived at the temporary residence, everyone dispersed to carry out their own activities and preparations for departure.

Rygar, for his part, sat in a chair, resting his elbows on the table as he gazed at a blank book before him.

His list of tasks and objectives had grown exponentially, and considering the number of tomes and magical grimoires he carried with him, he realized it would be wise to record his ideas and plans in an organized manner.

Thus, he decided to begin writing a book exclusively dedicated to that purpose.

Grasping a pen, he dipped its tip in ink and began to fill the blank pages.

At first, he mentally recounted all his objectives, from the most immediate ones to those spanning decades.

The hours passed quickly as he wrote, absorbed in his notes.

Among the objectives he listed were an in-depth study of the sealing effects of the Chains of Sealing of the Mad Dragon King—which he had stolen during the minister's ambush—a relic whose true potential still needed to be understood.

Furthermore, he planned to visit the Flying Fortress of the Blind Dragon King Perugius to unravel the mysteries of invocation magic, space-time, and gravity, rare skills that could expand his magical arsenal.

Another destination of interest was the Necross Lacross Fortress, where several proverbs claimed that if someone sought power and strength, they should go there.

He wanted to personally verify if such rumors were founded and, if there was any truth to them, to augment his strength.

Moreover, there was the matter of the Stones of the Seven Great Powers.

How did they work? How did they record information? And more importantly, how could they be replicated into a more efficient and stable means of communication? This enigma was near the top of his investigation list.

Rygar longed to explore the depths of the ocean in search of the legendary marine race mentioned in ancient myths.

If such a people truly existed, the knowledge they possessed could be very useful. Similarly, the Celestial Continent and the celestial race remained as an enigma that he wanted to unravel.

No one seemed to know for sure what lay there, and Rygar was determined to find out.

His objectives also extended to the present and future of the Seven Great Powers.

He wanted to learn everything about them, from their skills and philosophies to their weaknesses.

Moreover, if possible, he wished to defeat them. For that, however, he needed to grow even more.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

A kind of barrier that could block their minds was also necessary. Hitogami was an invisible threat, and Rygar needed to discover a method to block his mental invasions and influence.

There were also objectives of gigantic proportions, such as creating an independent Kingdom in Milis.

He knew that this was an incredibly difficult goal, but not impossible. The world's political and social structures were rigid, but he believed that with time, power, and strategy, he could bend them to his will.

As he wrote and organized his thoughts, he realized something intriguing.

He had spent so much time in this world and had amassed vast knowledge about its legends, monsters, uninhabitable places, lost magics, and even about the various races that inhabited it.

Every secret, every fragment of information he had gathered over the years was now at his fingertips.

When added to the knowledge he had brought from his previous life, he realized that his possibilities were infinite.

However, as he delved deeper into these thoughts, one question began to bother him.

Even with an expected lifespan of about two hundred years, he doubted that such time would be enough to accomplish everything he desired.

But then, why should he limit himself? There were demons and dragons that lived for thousands of years.

If such beings could achieve 'immortality,' why couldn't he seek the same? The idea seemed absurd at first, but the more he reflected, the more plausible it became.

With that final thought, Rygar paused, staring at the words written in the book and contemplating what his future would be like, and all that he would achieve in this life.
