Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1543: Fame

”Thank you for your service,” the Wolf Guild attendant said, after Emery reported the completion of the mission. He quickly checked his current fame point count and smiled when he saw he had finally reached his goal.

[3000 fame points received]

[Evan Valerious]

[Fame points: 10,500/100,000]

[Grade C]

Comparing what he earned and achieved to how much effort and time he put in, the Corvinʼs mission was a pretty productive venture for Emery to say the least.

Not only was he able to take a look at Corvinʼs forces and improve his relationship with the rebels, he also had the spirit stones and items he looted from the Blue Moon pack, which were nearly a million in monetary value. On top of that, he also managed to obtain the fame points he needed.

With this, Emery had completed the necessary requirements and qualified to participate in the Royal Hunt.

However, in his group there were still two people who still didnʼt have the required amount of fame points, Morgana and Tatyana, who joined the Wolf Guild later than the other two.

The latter grabbed the formerʼs arm and said in a cheerful tone, ”We can do missions together, sister.”

There was no response from the red-haired girl, which quickly caught the attention of the others, especially Emery. He noticed Morgana was a little more silent than usual. With the bond they shared, it could be felt that she seemed troubled by something.

Realizing everyoneʼs attention was on her, Morgana awoke from her trance and said, ”I have something I must do first. Let me stay in my room for a few days.”

Emery was both surprised and curious to hear that. Nevertheless, he decided to give her the space she needed, as he himself still had other things to do.

”If thatʼs the case, then weʼll be taking a few days off.” But just as the three were about to say something, he spoke again. ”On second thought, you should check on Senior Beowulf about this.”

If they went to the former White Fang chief, it was clear their next few days would be spent training instead of on break. However, none of them voiced any complaints. After all, there was only one month left before the Royal Hunt took place.

After the Corvin mission, Emery decided to spend more time at the Apothecary Center over the next few days. During his time there, he heard news about the rescue attempt carried out by the rebels while prisoners were being transported.

Unfortunately for the rebels, their operation was met with an ambush by the other side, in which they not only failed to save Tidus, but had many more of their members killed or captured.

The news unexpectedly made Emery feel unsettled. However, he quickly shook it off and returned his attention to the task at hand.

He carefully observed and studied how the Apex faction formulated and created a new pill for him – which was named [Booster Pill - 7002]. Even though the result came as a failure, Emery managed to learn more about the apothecary methods from watching them, which he utilized when he tried to do some experiments on his own.

At the same time, the [Spirit Explosion Pill] he ordered had finally arrived. After analyzing and dissecting its function by casting [Fragmentation], Emery decided to return to his residence, so he could give it a try without other peopleʼs eyes on him.

Since he had already tested one of the Spirit Explosion Pills when it arrived, Emery knew its effects would last for at least five minutes. Hence, he made appropriate preparations before consuming the second one.

He sat down on the bed and assumed the lotus position, before picking up a pill and throwing it into his mouth.

[You have received a temporary spirit soul boost]

As soon as he could feel the pill working, a powerful sensation coursing through his body, Emery quickly began his test by trying to cast Tier 2 and Tier 3 spells.

[Stone Skin]

[Steam Lance]

[Crushing wave]

[Rooted]

[Natureʼs Blessings]

A joyful expression appeared on Emeryʼs face when he saw his spells worked. He was happy to be finally able to smoothly cast Tier 2 spells that were extremely difficult to cast before and even Tier 3 spells that were previously outright impossible. ṝ𝘼𐌽о𝐛ΕŚ

However, those he managed to cast were just basic spells and, given how expensive the pill was, this method was simply not viable in the long term.

In the last few minutes he had left, Emery tried to concentrate on casting the apothecary Divine spell from his memory. A wide smile could be seen hanging on his mouth as he successfully casted [Photosynthesis], a small streak of light conjured up by the spell before swiftly fading away as the pillʼs effect finally wore off.

Now, Emery only had one pill left.

At a time like this, what really crossed his mind was his combined spell. If only right now he could have his darkness element, then all his spells would be so much more powerful.

Unfortunately, it seemed that even when he fully recovered, he would never be able to cast his darkness spells without the darkness element Spirit Soul.

Just as he was drowning in annoyance, Emery heard a knock on the door. A second later, the door opened and saw Morgana enter his room. He looked out his bedroom window and realized it was already the middle of the night.

”What is it, Morgana?”

Without even answering, the girl climbed into his bed and sat right next to him.

Looking at the pair of beautiful eyes that were also looking at him, Emery couldnʼt help but feel aroused. The beast side within him started to emerge again, but he quickly suppressed it and spoke to the red-haired girl again.

”Morgana, you are a very beautiful girl, but… I thought I had made it clear. I canʼt… We canʼt.”

Emeryʼs words made the girl frown. A questioning look in her eyes, she said, ”What are you talking about? Do you think I visited your room to mate? I didnʼt!”

”…” Emery was speechless when he realized the misunderstanding. It was a rather embarrassing moment, one he wished he could forget.

”So why are you here?” Emery asked, which was replied with a surprising answer.

”Iʼm here because I know youʼve been thinking about your other soul, and I think I can help.”
