Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 888: Divine Skill

It was one of the powerful Divine skills that would allow a successful enchantment onto someone and beguile them into a realistic illusion. The most important and strongest aspect of this skill was the fact it would still work even if the target was on level higher than the casterʼs.

Arcana laughed even louder when he saw how helpless Emery was right now. ”Ha ha ha! Youʼre doomed! Unless you have 50 soul force, you can never break away from this skill!”

Countless gasps sounded from the audience in the stands when they heard Arcanaʼs words. If what the latter said was true, then this divine skill of his was truly an unstoppable weapon for those below the magus realm.

This was because not only was that Soul Force a measurement that could only be shown in magus realm, 50 soul force meant that the person had already reached at least 5% in their comprehension of law.

”Hahaha, your struggle is meaningless! Thereʼs no need to resist anymore!” Arcana said while calmly walking closer to Emery, with the third eye on his forehead still shining brightly.

In truth, many of the spectators already expected such a one-sided result. There were, of course, some who hoped that the new rising star would answer their expectation and once again create a miracle, especially knowing that the latter just rose to rank 9.

However, it was apparent that their expectation was simply too much. He was still in the early stage of rank 9, after all. Meanwhile, many others that had reached the peak stage rank 9 couldnʼt escape this skill. It was simply impossible for him to escape the powerful divine skill.

It didnʼt take long for Arcana to arrive and stand right in front of Emery, who was still in his twilight form. He scanned the latterʼs body which was nearly two meters tall from the ground up and then took out a sharp-looking knife from his spatial ring.

A wicked smile bloomed on Arcanaʼs face, as he began to carve a large cut on Emeryʼs chest – deep enough to shed blood, but not seriously injured. Throughout the entire process, the Savage Acolyte did not even move nor blink an eye.

”Hahaha!!” laughed Arcana as he looked at Emery. Turning his head to the side, he said, ”Referee, do we still need to wait five minutes? Everyone here can clearly see who the winner is.”

The referee magus just nodded in response, and Arcana looked very annoyed. He snorted and turned his face away saying, ”Stupid rule! Well, whatever!”

Arcana was clearly dissatisfied by the refereeʼs reply and he showed it by thrusting the high tier knife into Emeryʼs chest.

Splllaattt!

Blood spilled and dripped down to the ground when Arcana pulled the knife out. Irritation could still be seen on his face.

”Let see if the referee would change his mind if I carved some more”

The kid looking acolyte preferred a faster result, as it meant he didnʼt have to expend more spirit energy than he needed to. So in order to do so, he stabbed Emeryʼs body with the knife once more.

Spllaattt!!

On the sides, both Annara and Roran were exasperated by his unscrupulous actions.

It seemed that Arcana had noticed their gazes as he turned his head in the direction they were at. Seeing their appearances, he simply smiled evilly and said, ”Donʼt worry. I wonʼt kill him, This rubbish isnʼt worthy of me receiving punishment from the academy, after all.”

After saying those words, Arcana ignored the two and once again turned towards Emery. A smug smirk on his face. ”Come on! What are you daydreaming for? Hurt me with that infamous savage skill of yours!!”

It was at this time that an idea entered the mind of the bored Arcana. He suddenly thought of thrusting his knife into a particular sensitive part of his opponent.

”Well.. I mean, why not?” Arcana grinned evilly. ”If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being weak.”

Without another word, Arcana gripped the knife and swiftly thrust it forward. However–

Swissshhh!

–the sharp tip of the knife stopped just an inch away, as a dark furry hand firmly gripped his thin skinny arm.

”WHATT?!!”

A gobsmacked expression appeared on Arcanaʼs face as he looked at the hand that was holding his own. He swiftly raised his face, only to see the Savage Acolyte already staring at him with eyes filled with rage. řÀ₦Ｏ𝐁ËŜ

”Ho…how… co.. could..” Arcana stuttered in his words due to how shocked he was.

Arcanaʼs complexion quickly turned pale as he realized that he was in grave danger. He of course tried to run away. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain as his arm was locked by the wolfʼs strong grip.

Without further ado, Emery punched the childlike acolyte straight in the face. The 350 battle power he currently possessed powered his rage-filled punch.

BAM!

One punch was all it needed to make Arcana turn limp and break a few of his teeth, leaving him in a miserable state.

Alas, it was still not over yet for Arcana. Thanks to Emeryʼs other arm still holding his, Arcana could only helplessly watch as his body was pulled closer again for another full knuckle blow to the face.

BAM!

And another.

BAAMM!!

And another.

BAAAMMM!!!

His face quickly became swollen so big that all three of his eyes were covered by it making him unrecognizable, …except for his kid-like figure.

Arcana still whispered, asking his confusion, ”how…” as Emery let go of his arm and therefore allowed him to drop flat to the ground. Despite hearing his question, Emery just silently stared at his opponent.

The truth was, Emery didnʼt know how he got rid of the illusion either. The illusion did affect his mind. He lost total control of his body and was forced to experience all those negative feelings. At that moment, he was as helpless as a chicken on a cutting board.

However, when Arcana started playing around and stabbing his body with a knife, he found the walls of reality built by the illusion easily began to crumble down, and eventually, without him knowing it, Emery managed to return to the real world.

The sudden turnaround took everyone by surprise, as they wordlessly watched Arcana lay flat on the ground, writhing in pain. In the end, the referee saw that the former was in a state of being unable to fight anymore and decided to announce the winner.

”Emery Ambrose wins!!”

[Rank 9 – Emery Ambrose]

The audience went wild.

Deafening cheers filled the entire arena, as finally, one of the names that was at the top of the rankings changed. People were once again amazed by the surprises that Emery could bring to the table.

”You did it, Emery!” shouted the red-haired girl who was standing beside the Harlight Prince excitedly.

This meant that the deal was final, that Roran would step down from the leadership position for the mid-test.

Emery was still amazed by the many cheers he received and was ready to walk out of the arena when suddenly the crowd fell silent for an instant.

A certain figure was approaching the arena.

Seeing this figure walking closer to him, made Emeryʼs fighting spirit rose once again

The famous figure after all was someone he has been wishing to fight with.

Zach Talon, of the dragon bloodline.

He stopped right in front of Emery, with a sharp gaze he said

”I challenge you, fight me”
