Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1157 Improved

The magus was trying hard to break out from the huge sphere of water, but he was quickly stopped by another lightning attack that made him scream in pain. It was apparent that Klea was able to continuously torment those caught by her water spell.

The water spell held him in place and it also amplified the power of the lightning. Each lightning that struck created some crack onto the magusʼ Earth Body and, seeing this first hand, Emery was quite impressed by the power of her spell.

From the looks of it, the battle between the earth magus and Klea would be decided by the difference between the durability of the magusʼ Earth Body and the size of Kleaʼs spirit pool.

However, seeing how spirited Klea was, Emery was pretty sure the Egyptian Queen would be the victor of her battle.

”Emery, what do you think?” Klea shouted while continuing to cast her spell.

Emery faintly smiled as he replied, ”Amazing!”

”Thank you.” The smile on Kleaʼs face widened even more when she heard that. ”Now I am going to push it up a notch!”

While Klea was busy experimenting with ways to utilize her newfound combination on Conleth, the battle between Chumo and Jorah the wind magus was still ongoing and was becoming increasingly fierce.

This battle, in particular, Emery needed to be more vigilant, as it only took one wrong move and the magusʼ sharp dagger could slit his friendʼs throat, ending his life. Hence the reason why he had prepared to cast [Blink] whenever to help his Asian friend.

Clank! Clank!

The figures of the two dagger-wielding people flickered everywhere with sparks appearing like fireworks, one dependent on speed and another on its unpredictability as they clashed their weapons against each other.

Even though Chumo continued to be pressured by Jorah due to the difference between their cultivations, his ability to move freely between shadows proved enough to give the wind magus a difficult time.

”Thereʼs no way this is true! A Rank 9 could match me?! Impossible!!!”

The wind magus muttered in irritation, as he continued to be unable to deal a critical blow to his slippery opponent. Jorah turned up his intensity in his endeavor to defeat Chumo; alas, his efforts were all in vain as the latter always dodged or stopped all his attacks.

Seeing how Klea and Chumo who were both Rank 9 Acolyte could face off against magus-level fighters, Emery found himself with some free time and thus couldnʼt help but analyze the situation.

The Nexus faction had just been upgraded to the classification of middle realm civilization 300 years ago. Coupled with the fact that their technology was the reason their civilization was upgraded, it was no wonder the faction didnʼt have many powerful magus in its ranks.

Not only Jorah had low comprehension of Law of Wind, Emery could easily tell that the wind magus didnʼt have a quality dagger technique nor high-rank battle art. In his fight against Chumo, the man only used mostly low-rank spells and skills.

Unfortunately for Chumo, being a magus had its own advantages. To be exact, the [Immortal Body], which made magus extremely resilient, twice the battle power of him due to the sublimation that happened when they broke through and, most importantly, the ability to fly without external help.

Clank! Clank!

”Fight me! Donʼt keep running, you coward!”

A whisper of reply came from his back ”Why? Not fast enough?”

Each strike Jorah dealt would shake and push Chumoʼs body back. However, the wind magus never had a chance to deal a decisive blow as the latterʼs flying blades always distracted him and gave time to escape into shadow. 𝔯ἈɴỒ𐌱ƐṤ

Before long, Chumo finally decided to use his shadow clones. His figure looked as if it was about to split from the bottom up for a moment and replaced it with 8 identical shadows of himself. They quickly plunged into the fray, helping Chumo attack the wind mages from different angles.

This move, however, received a scoff from his opponent.

”Huh! This plaything will not stop me!”

[Wind Body]

Jorah used the innate skill of a magus with comprehension of Law of Wind, which gave him a tremendous increase in agility. Within seconds, he managed to slash all 8 shadowy figures that attacked him, turning them into black smoke.

When he was done dealing with the clones, Chumo was already waiting for him in the distance with his favorite weapon. The black longbow with streaks of silver in his hand had already been drawn, the black arrow on its string ready to be released.

All eight shadow clones were merely distractions as Chumo focused his attention on using his ultimate technique in the arrow. Emery could see a dark aura, before a vague image of a certain beast roaring appeared behind his Asian friend as he let go of the arrow.

[Cursed Shot]

The arrow flew creating an ominous black line in the air, it shot at a speed the other party normally couldnʼt dodge, but his Wind Body allowed Jorah to take a step away. Even so, he still got his entire shoulder and right arm blown into chunks of meat.

ARRGGGHHH!!!

”My hand!!!”

While the wind magus was hysterically screaming in pain from his missing limb, Chumo threw his 8 blades and stabbed the magusʼ chest and feet. They inflicted enough pain and injury to force the man to kneel and then fall flat to the ground.

”I win!” Chumo looked at Emery with his thumb raised.

Almost at the same time, another scream of pain rang out as the burly Conleth had his body hit the ground. His skin was completely drenched from top to bottom, his Stone Body destroyed into pieces, while he himself had already lost consciousness.

The two watched as the Egyptian Queen wiped the sweat from her face saying, ”This is quite tiring indeed.”

Looking at the two heavily injured magus, the group was now wondering what to do with them.

Not having a binding artifact that could hold magus, Chumo stepped in and took out more small blades and started to pierce them into the magus meridians. It wasnʼt a simple piercing of metals, Chumo was following some kind of sealing formation.

Chumo smiled again looking at Emeryʼs and Kleaʼs expressions ,”This will stop them from channeling their spirit energy blocking half of their strength, just something that the East Sage taught me, during our travel.”

”Thatʼs amazing Chumo! You must teach me!” Said Klea quickly grabbed Chumoʼs arms making the guy once again shut in, losing his words.

Now that the matter with the two magus was settled, Klea turned to Emery asking.

”What should we do now?”
