Beggar Cultivation System
Chapter 355 - 355: Magnitude Space

Five Core Creation-level monsters emerged from the forest, two or three kilometers away from Belthias City.

A distance no mortal would be able to make out the five beasts.

But to the Headmasters, it was nothing. Their vision could see that far as if the monsters were only a few meters away.

"Five… they're not going to stop, and they're not going to change direction," Mathias muttered with a grave expression.

"We can handle one each," Elmo said, his heavy, oppressive aura causing the surrounding air to twist and crack.

"I'll take two," Mathias said, turning to the Great Serpent Headmaster. "Unless we have your original body here, we'll have to take our time killing them."

Headmaster Axton chuckled. "I guess it's not a secret, huh?"

"What's the point of using a clone?" Master Popo shot Axton a look. "I'll never understand you. Firepower should be the ultimate power!"

"Or your ultimate end," Elmo said with a smirk, drawing a glare from the Headmaster of the Fire Shrine Cultivation School.

There were five Core Creation Stage monsters charging toward the city, each one towering over ten meters tall. Their aura left ruin in their wake.

Five different beasts against the Headmasters and the Mayor.

"Let's go. Don't let them get near the city," Mathias ordered. With nods from the Headmasters, their bodies blurred into motion as they shot forward to confront the monsters.

A powerful explosion erupted in the distance, sending rocks and dirt flying in every direction. The shockwave summoned wild winds, raising a massive dust cloud laced with smoke and fire that spread wide.

The air cracked and twisted, as if the very space itself was collapsing.

This explosion was the result of the Headmasters colliding with the five monsters.

Due to their close proximity and raw power, the space around them nearly shattered—causing the blast.

As the dust began to settle and the winds died down, five figures emerged, leaping from the cloud and landing dozens of meters away.

Moments later, the five monsters followed, stepping out of the haze and revealing their terrifying forms.

Just like the Alphadusk Fang, their presence was overwhelming.

The group of monsters consisted of a snake with centipede legs, a Desert Tiger covered in spikes, a spider with blade-like limbs, an Ivory Scorpion whose strength was hundreds of times greater than its offspring, and lastly, a Desert Dragon encased in rocky scales.

"I'll take the dragon and the scorpion," Mathias said. Before the others could protest, his body flashed—reappearing behind the dragon. He grabbed its tail and hurled it straight into the black scorpion.

The Desert Dragon tried to retaliate by spewing intense flames, but before the spark could fully form in its mouth, it was already crashing into the scorpion. The collision carved a long ravine into the ground.

Mathias then appeared high above the two monsters, and an intense pressure slammed down onto them. As a Core Creation Cultivator, Mathias could command nature itself without expending much Qi. With this force, his techniques became faster and more devastating—far beyond what a Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator could hope to achieve.

Even without moving in close, he could inflict massive damage.

Moreover, upon reaching Core Creation, Mathias gained his own Attribute.

And that was only a part of what a Core Creation Cultivator could do.

Hovering above the monsters, Mathias's pressure alone kept them pinned.

The dragon and the Alpha Ivory Scorpion shoved each other aside and began resisting the crushing weight.

Slowly, they lifted their massive bodies—roaring and hissing at the human standing above them.

Mathias watched them struggle—until the two had had enough.

The Desert Dragon and the Ivory Scorpion began gathering their attacks. The dragon at its mouth, the scorpion at its tail.

Intense spheres formed—one of searing flame, the other of venom black as the night sky. The air around them crackled with pressure. Then, with a unified roar and a high-pitched whirring sound, the monsters launched their strikes.

One flame. One venomous sphere that crackled like black lightning. Both aimed at the Mayor of Belthias at frightening speed.

But Mathias didn't flinch. He remained calm, raising his hand with a composed motion, his face serious, his eyes cold. One man facing two attacks powerful enough to raze entire streets. Their glow streaked through the sky like twin shooting stars in the night.

Yet Mathias didn't remain idle. He opened his mouth slowly, summoning the power of Core Creation and his refined Qi.

His core, deep below his navel, began to churn—twisting and spinning in a surreal, silent rhythm. The pressure alone made the space around him tremble.

Then, like a whisper of death, Mathias spoke.

"Magnitude Space," he whispered.

The moment the words left his lips, an unknown force erupted from his body. The space around him froze—especially the space where his hand pointed.

The two incoming attacks—the blazing flame and the venom orb—halted in midair.

And then, in the blink of an eye, they vanished. Snuffed out of existence as the space before him cracked and shattered, the rupture spreading down toward the monsters who had dared to look up.

They couldn't move—even if they wanted to. All they could do was watch as the spatial rupture surged toward them.

The Desert Dragon let out a furious roar, an intense aura blasting outward as it tried to counter the incoming pressure with the shockwaves of its voice.

The Alpha Ivory Scorpion, meanwhile, retracted into its armor. Its exoskeleton shifted, tightening its gaps, hardening its shell to an almost metallic gleam under the moonlight. Black smoke poured out, cloaking its form in a second layer of defense.

But the shattered space didn't stop.

The dragon managed to resist it—for a few seconds. Then it failed. It let out a final, agonized roar as the rupture wrapped around its body, blood bursting from every point.

The scorpion lasted longer—its armor far more durable. But not enough. Mathias's overwhelming might forced it to cave, and the ground beneath them collapsed into a massive crater. Both monsters fell inside, motionless.

The attack had no sound. No explosion. Just pure, absolute power.

Yet even after unleashing such destruction, Mathias didn't smile. Because the next moment, both monsters stirred. Their wounds closed rapidly—healing at a terrifying pace.

Within seconds, they were back on their feet. As if nothing had happened.

"Tsk. Annoying," Mathias sighed.
