Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1562: Clash

The battle between the two sides had inflicted quite a bit of casualties on the rebel side. Even though their numbers were nearly three times the opposition, most of their forces were only saint level, just like Doppa and his companions.

Against a group of magus, it was amazing they didnʼt get wiped out right away.

Nevertheless, the sight of those fighting beside them becoming seriously injured couldnʼt help but make several of the hunters fall backwards, hesitating and afraid to join the fight once more.

Freaki of the Bone Coyotes was annoyed when he saw those people. He then shouted at them saying, ”What are you guys afraid of?! Fight! Charge!”

On the other hand, the situation made the Ironcrest magus laugh scornfully at their divided opponents. ”Just run. Go back to the hole you came from!”

It was at this moment the two opposing sides suddenly heard a howl from the distance, followed by the appearance of a group of dark-clothed people rushing in their direction and joining the ongoing fight.

Of course these peopleʼs identities were quickly recognized when they saw the person leading the charge.

”Evan Valerious, the Twilight Fang!”

Being the pack that currently managed to reach the number one ranking, the sight of Emery and the others quickly caught the attention of everyone present in the area. For a moment, the bloody struggle came to a pause.

Unfortunately for them, Emery had no intention of wasting time talking. Without further ado, he headed straight for the Ironcrestʼs group of magus, clearly indicating which side he was on in this confrontation.

Two of the magus slaves immediately moved and tried to stop Emery, but the red-haired girl who followed behind him swooped in and stopped the twoʼs advance by sending a wave of [Hellflame] over the two. His figure shot past, heading for his objective – the leader of the Ironcrest group.

The other magus slaves quickly moved to intercept. However, it was apparent they wouldnʼt be able to make it in time, because Emery had decided to take action at the exact time when the Ironcrest magus were spread out fighting Doppa and the others.

With that, the leader of the Ironcrest clan was isolated, left to defend against the incoming attacks alone. However, it seemed the other party was not a pushover.

Seeing Emery coming towards him, the middle-aged man quickly cast thunder spells in quick succession, one that immediately fired at Emery and another to enhance his speed as he dashed away to escape.

Unfortunately, neither of them was enough to stop Emery. He dodged the spell with ease and managed to catch up. Pulling his arm back, he mustered his strength and struck the middle-aged man with his [Blade Claw].

Thud!

The Ironcrest magus managed to turn around and block Emeryʼs attack at the last moment, though one of his knees was forced to hit the ground from the force it carried. Panic overtook him, as he hastily used a life-saving artifact that unleashed a formless blast.

It hit Emery, who was about to send a follow-up attack, sending him hurtling several meters across the ground.

”Go away!” He shouted at Emery. Shifting his gaze to the magus slaves, he screamed, ”Help me, you fools! Kill this fucking man!”

The middle-aged man frantically ordered his magus slaves to attack Emery, but by this time, not only was Morgana already there, the entire Twilight Fangs pack had already entered the fight, preventing his band of magus slaves from coming to his aid.

Realizing he was in deep trouble, the Ironcrest magus decided to try again to escape. But once again, Emery caught him, whereupon he slammed his body against the ground and thrust his claws into his shoulder.

”ARRGHH!!!”

Throwing a threatening glare, Emery coldly said, ”If you move, the next one will make a hole in your head!”

”Urgh… No. Please donʼt…”

Slightly tugging at the claw embedded in the manʼs shoulder, causing him to groan in pain, Emery spoke again. ”Tell them to stop now!”

When he saw the man didnʼt do anything, Emery stabbed his other claw into the manʼs chest, pulling out the one in the shoulder and bringing it right before the manʼs eyes, stopping just inches away. ȑã𝐍оВÊȘ

”NOW!”

Since they were magus slaves, they all listened to their master, who in this case was the Ironcrest magus. After the latter complied and gave instructions for them to stop, Emery whispered his next order.

”Now tell them, they are free men, free to do whatever they want.”

Understanding what Emery was trying to do, the other magus from the major factions immediately shot towards him trying to stop him. Of course, the others were not stupid as Jester quickly said, ”This is our chance! Everyone, Stop them!”

Immediately, as if a spark had been ignited, the fight that had been halted due to the appearance of Emery and the others continued. The clash quickly became fiercer as those previously afraid decided to jump back to help stop the fifteen magus.

Amidst the chaos, Freaki was laughing like a madman as his weapon incapacitated one of his opponents. ”Hahaha! Thatʼs right, everyone! Donʼt let any of them go!”

Meanwhile, Emery continued to attack the middle-aged man, inflicting fear and horror into the man every time his claws dug deep into his flesh. What really made the latter give up was the fact no one seemed able to rescue him.

He ended up doing as he was told in hopes of keeping his life. Unfortunately, when the order was finally given, Emery finished the man off without mercy.

Standing up from the Ironcrest magusʼ body, Emery turned towards the nine now confused magus slaves and said, ”You are free to do whatever you want. But if you want to help, then fight those who have been controlling you!”

Perhaps it would have been easier if Emery just simply asked them to follow his orders, but due to his past experience similar to theirs, he couldnʼt bring himself to do so. He decided he would let them decide for themselves, hence he was quite surprised when all 9 magus agreed to help in the fight.

Because of that, the balance of power between the two parties was instantly shattered. The major factionsʼ groups were quickly overwhelmed and dealt with one by one, with only a few managing to escape.

With the passage finally open, everyone quickly got in to continue their hunt. Apart from Freaki and his group, who were in a hurry to catch up with the points, the others first stopped and paid their respects to Emery.

Jester approached him and said, ”I guess Frostmind was not wrong about you.”

Before leaving, the man told Emery something that managed to bother him.

Jester told him he knew for certain that Frostmind was dead, murdered the same night he was captured.
