Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1806: Ancient Ones

The celestials were a race that had been lost in the annals of history, their existence shrouded in the mists of time. They were considered the first race, the creators of the universe itself. Even the elves, with their tens of thousands of years of advanced civilization, still referred to them as the ancient ones. They were the origin of all the wonders and mysteries of the universe.

In the annals of ancient history, tales spoke of colossal battles among the celestials, clashes that had forged the universe and ultimately led to the extinction of their own kind. In the present era, there were no known living celestials; only the remnants of their memory and enigmatic artifacts remained.

Among these relics, the Ancient Celestial Ruins stood as one of the most significant. This colossal structure, as immense as a moon, would open its gates every 30 years for a mere 10-day window, granting access to a limited group of Magus. It was one of the rare events jointly managed by both races; Humans and elves.

Originally intended as an opportunity to uncover the secrets left behind by the ancient race, the expedition had now transformed into a fierce competition among the young magus to prove their prowess.

”Within the ruins, one can find invaluable artifacts, ancient knowledge, and, most coveted of all, celestial shards imbued with profound comprehension of natural laws,” Delbrand explained.

This news left both Emery and Julian in awe, especially the part about the ruins becoming a sanctuary where young Magus could enhance their comprehension of the laws.

Emery absorbed the information about the nine vaults, each containing the comprehension of nine laws.

”Nine? Not ten?”

”yes, all elements, except darkness” Delbrand answered.

Emery absorbed the information about the Ancient Celestial Ruins with growing excitement and curiosity. Delbrandʼs words had opened a doorway to a world of mysteries and opportunities, making him even more eager to embark on the expedition.

As he contemplated the nine vaults, each brimming with the comprehension of nine laws, he couldnʼt help but be intrigued. The notion that the Celestials had left behind such a profound legacy filled him with wonder. The absence of the darkness element only deepened the mystery. Emery pondered why the Celestials had chosen to withhold their wisdom in this particular area, and he couldnʼt help but feel drawn to uncover its secrets.

”Do you understand now, Emery? Not only are you probably one of the strongest magi of your age, but you are also proficient in both darkness and light, giving you advantages for the expedition.”

Delbrandʼs explanation shed light on why Jinkan was so keen on recruiting him for the expedition. Emeryʼs unique mastery of both darkness and light made him a rare and formidable asset.

However, Delbrandʼs sobering reminder about the expeditionʼs risks brought Emery back to reality. The prospect of losing four out of every ten participants was a stark reminder of the perilous nature of the journey ahead. He knew he had to choose his companions Afterward, Delbrand and Julian decided to give Emery some alone time to reunite with his plant creatures.

wisely, as their lives would depend on their collective strength and cooperation.

”The expedition starts in 8 daysʼ time. I will tell you more about it tomorrow at the Nephilim training ground.”

Afterward, Delbrand and Julian decided to give Emery some alone time to reunite with his plant creatures.

Emery made his way to a quiet spot in the lush forest near the complex. The natural energy of the area was palpable, and it felt like a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling preparations for the expedition.

Sitting amidst the vibrant foliage, he extended his senses to commune with the Chizpur brothers and Twik. Their unique connection allowed them to communicate not just through words but through shared emotions and thoughts. In their presence, Emery felt a profound sense of comfort and belonging. These creatures had been his companions in some of the darkest moments of his life, and their unwavering support had seen him through countless challenges. n(./(..///(-(1--n

Havenʼt checked their growth for a while, Emery called them and started to assess their progress:

[Chizpur Fang - Stage 6]

[Magical Creature - Level 120]

[Battle Power - 155]

After not seeing them for two years, it appeared that they hadnʼt grown much. Their levels hadnʼt increased, almost as if the Chizpurs had reached the limit of their growth.

As for Twik:

[Flora Colossi - Stage 8]

[Mythical Creature Level 45]

[Battle Power - 345]

Twik had managed to gain 15 levels in the last two years, with most of that progress happening during their time together in Vanyar, thanks to Emeryʼs deep involvement. ɽ𝓪₦ô𝖇Ë𝒮

Looking at all six of them, Emery said, ”What should I do with you all?”

These plants were undeniably powerful, but their opponents in the upcoming expedition would all be at the magus level. To ensure their safety, Emery decided to take them to a quiet clearing within the forest and open up a portal, bringing Twik and all the Chizpur brothers into the Khaos Gate.

”I brought some friends to accompany you,”

Emeryʼs words echoed within the confines of the Pestilence Gate, a place once shrouded in darkness and mystery. Chututlu, the mystical creature proficient in plants, seemed to respond positively to Emeryʼs intentions. There was an unspoken understanding, a connection between them that transcended mere words.

With a sense of reverence, Emery inquired if it would be acceptable for his friends, the Chizpur brothers, to remain within the gate.
