Reborn as God: The strongest system

Esdras naturally didn't forget about those trouble makers, there were reasons why he ignored them.

The first is to lure them into a false sense of security. He didn't have to be genius to figure out what was going on in their minds right now.

The second reason was of course, the problem with the forest. He couldn't lose sight of the big picture because of small pieces.

The third reason was because of a certain owl that hovered in the forest and kept watch over all the apprentices.

While everyone ignored it he used his [Third eye] on it and discovered that it was a familiar. One of the True mages was keeping an eye on them.

However, Esdras wasn't going to call off his plans because of these reasons, he just adjusted how he was going to take care of it.

At night Esdras had some fun with Celine but before falling asleep he found himself thinking about what Reid and the others were about to do.

It could be done, they could indeed escape successfully out of this area at least. But then what? They definitely couldn't return to their homes.

Elbrim was now at war which was a good time to escape and a bad time too. At this time there is a rise of bandits and monsters all over the country.

Even if they somehow how made it out of Elbrim, all the nations in the Sarifal region were loyal to the Octarine tower.

The two neighboring regions were ruled by the two other magic powers and they wouldn't mind doing the Octarine tower a small favor.

Only after going over sixteen nations could they make it to the Scattered kingdoms in the old empire, which he guessed was their destination.

This is why he didn't escape after he cleared the first floor of the dungeon. At that time he had the perfect chance to escape.

Night went and passed, the next day after breakfast they were summoned to report on what they did in the past week to senior Ron. During the explication Esdras used his [Third eye] on him.

[Ron Salask]

Rank: 2

Class: True wind mage

Spells: Gust Lv.3, Warding winds Lv.3, Wind Cage Lv.2, Gale slicer Lv.2, Air blast Lv.4, Feather fall Lv.2, Jump Lv.3, Dissonant whispers Lv.1…

Esdras was able to get a good look at all the spells that Ron learned, it was a total of twenty five spells. Moreover these spells were mostly high level.

It was clear that Ron was proficient in almost all of his spells. There was also the spell Dissonant whispers, it was a strange spell that he had never heard of.

Well, it's nothing to be alarmed by, after all Esdras was only an apprentice, his knowledge was limited.

It seems like True mages were considered rank 2. If so then this must be a broader division than class level. Basically even though Esdras had two classes he was still considered a Rank 1 being.

Esdras and the rest were stocking up on supplies before leaving for yet another week of monster suppression. There was some restructuring this time because of the many casualties.

"OPEN THE GATE!"

Before they could leave they heard a thunderous roar, coming from the outside.

A figure reacted before everyone else and darted out, it was unexpected senior Ron who lost his usual composure and with a jump he crossed ten meters in the air and landed on the ramparts.

It was something that not even Esdras could do, even with his current stats.

It seems that senior Ron gave the order to open the gate, it was unknown what he saw on the other side.

Through the gate, a horse galloped in carrying a wounded and badly bleeding woman. She was one of the three True mages.

"Carla! What happened? Where's Ben?" Ron quickly asked.

"He… fell in battle. It's terrible, it's a Chimera." Carla said as she lost consciousness and fell off the horse only for Ron to catch her.

"Get the physicians! Now! And what are you all gawking at?" Ron roared at them, "get out there and do you jobs!"

Esdras and the rest didn't dare to protest, it was clear only a fool would risk saying anything right now.

It could only be said that a terrible sense of terror had set into the hearts of everyone in the fort, both the soldiers and the apprentices.

Esdras knew that he had to clear the dungeon this week at all costs. The old plans had to be thrown in the garbage.

This is how life worked, no matter how much you plan you can't predict the future.

Oh, wait, maybe he actually can? He could use the Divination trait that he got thanks to the Planeswalker shard, only, he had to consume Origin points to see into the future.

Esdras was conflicted throughout the trip but ultimately he decided against it. He still didn't figure out how to gain more Origin points.

The only time he got any was when he got the Pioneer title and that was only two points. It was too risky to do so now.

Esdras ate his dinner and returned to his tent immediately but he naturally didn't go to sleep, he returned to the dungeon.

The second floor was eerily quiet as usual but he learned last time that he shouldn't let his guard down in this silence. Moreover there was no need for him to go through the dangerous ruins.

He used the cliff walls as levers and thanks to his enhanced strength and physique he climbed up, but not too high and so he managed to completely evade the ruins in the forest.

Coming down he found himself in a huge, open yard, it was lined with ancient looking grey bricks and littered with statues.

Most of the statues were broken but a few were intact. They depicted strange men in strange looking ancient African-like clothes. Beneath the statues there were murals that told a story.
