Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1329: Emperor

The impact of the explosion in the sky brought hope to everyone fighting below.

Loud deafening cheers erupted through the air, applauding the bravery of the Battleborns and their commander, especially the latter who was merely a magus yet capable of defeating an elven grand magus.

With the newfound fighting spirit, sparked by the Battlebornsʼ heroic deeds, the humans of the Magus Alliance vigorously rose to their feet to fight the enemies before them once more.

However, Emery was feeling the opposite. His heart was filled with despair after he witnessed what happened to his beloved senior.

Standing right beside him, Grand Magus Yvere immediately noticed the huge fluctuations in Emeryʼs emotions. He quickly reminded him to concentrate once again lest the spell broke down.

He did as asked, albeit with difficulty. As he continued, selecting and transporting the humans, who were basically strangers to him by the hundreds, Emery couldnʼt help but think about the lives of those courageous Battleborn warriors in the sky.

Like a dam with a hole, memories of the past kept flashing through his mind – the moments he had spent with them. The grand celebration, the party, the drinking, the singing, the time he had shared with his always cheerful senior and his men.

He felt as if his heart was collapsing as tears rolled down his cheeks.

”No no…” He said softly. ”He canʼt possibly go down like this… No.”

He found the possibility of a reality where the man died too hard to accept, so Emery decided to refute his findings. He distracted his jumbled thoughts by focusing his attention on saving the civilians.

As he continued to select and teleport hundreds of people to safety, Emeryʼs Spirit Reading was drawn to the movement of the second crimson elven warship. The warship turned out to still be able to function despite the severe damage it received from the devastating collision.

This movement naturally did not go unnoticed, and once again a wave of anxiety swept through the crowd below. They feared for their lives that could be lost under the warshipʼs merciless barrage of attacks.

As if the worst was indeed happening, the warshipʼs cannons were seen aiming at the ground. Particles of bright light could be seen gathering at its muzzle, announcing it was ready to fire, when Emery suddenly sensed the arrival of a powerful figure approaching at such speed that could not be followed by the naked eye.

A flaming figure came falling down amidst the void like a comet.

The figure was a man in majestic black armor that exuded a distinct sense of regality, with long, luscious white hair and two small horns protruding on his forehead.

The other party bore close resemblance to that of a beast. As his figure streaked through the atmosphere, he quickly drew a huge sword and swung it, cutting the damaged crimson elven ship in half with a single strike.

Kaaaabbbbbooommm!!!

That man was a supreme being that Emery knew very well. The one and only ruler, King of the Zodiac City, Alduin Talon the Dragon Emperor.

His arrival put an end to any need for hope for survival, as his very existence here rendered a situation that seemed hopeless just moments ago into a certainty of victory against the invading elves.

”Thatʼs King Alduin!”

”A supreme being here!”

”We are saved!”

”Letʼs kill all those elf bastards!”

With a fierce gaze in his eyes, King Alduin scanned his surroundings with scrutiny. A moment later, he raised his hand in the air, and immediately the entire academy shook, shocking everyone who was still there.

What followed was a massive cloud of fire that soared up to cover the entire sky. With a gesture of his hand, the blazing flames moved as if they were alive, annihilating all the dark elf warriors and elven triangular jets that swarmed the skies in a matter of seconds.

The dozen or so dark elf magus who managed to survive the massacre of fire were all trembling in fear, their dilated eyes fixed upon the figure of the supreme magus. On the other hand, the dark elf grand magus who was fighting Lilith decided to abandon his fight and fly towards King Alduin.

”I am Lorath, son of Uffrain. It is an honor for me to be able to fight you.”

The dark elf magus brandished two swords enveloped in ominous dark flames as he charged at the Zodiac King. Seeing the attack, the latter jerked his arm and parried the sword strikes with his own in a nonchalant manner. ꭆＡŊÔ𝐁È𝙎

Baaaammmm!

In spite of the indifferent appearance, the slash that King Alduin did was not to be underestimated. The clash between the two led to tremendous repercussions, an intense blast of heat swept across the terrain as the heavens shook.

One strike.

Three strikes.

In just five strikes, King Alduin cut down the elven grand magus in half. He immediately followed up by conjuring a huge blazing flame that turned the latterʼs body to ashes.

The spirit form of the dark elf grand magus appeared following the destruction of his physical body. It immediately exerted its strength and tried to escape, but was denied right away, torn apart by another powerful blow from the Zodiac King.

All of the humans were amazed and amazed watching the sight, while all of the elves were visibly shaking. Their faces were deathly white as their bodies trembled uncontrollably from seeing that matchless figure.

”Why was he able to come here so soon?! Did the plan in Golden City fail?” One of the elven grand magus asked, but to his dismay, no one seemed to have the answer to his question.

Knowing their fate was more or less sealed if they didnʼt do something, all 8 elf grand magus simultaneously took action as if they had unanimously agreed on one thought. They all abandoned their fight against the human grand magus and all charged towards King Alduin.

In their mind, the best method to turn the tide again was for them to kill the supreme being as quickly as possible.

”There is only one of him, while there are eight of us. Attack! Donʼt hold anything back!”

Looking at the eight approaching figures, King Alduin studied each of them closely. When he saw that none of them were even in the peak of the third cosmos stage, he did not look worried in the slightest. In fact, as they all drew near, he let out an ear-shattering roar.

His body rapidly began to grow, enlarging many times its normal size. Glistening scales and sharp spikes began to fill his skin, followed by an explosion of tremendous power that could be clearly felt by the eight elven grand magus, whose faces subsequently changed drastically.

[Emperor Dragon - Third Transformation]

In just a matter of seconds, King Alduin transformed into a ten meter tall full form dragon hybrid. His appearance was undeniably terrifying as he towered over the group of elven grand magus.

ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!

A roar resounded through the air, sending anyone below the magus realm instantly to their knees. Then after, King Alduin soared even higher into the sky, taking the eight-on-one fight further away from the academy.

The battle between a supreme being and multiple elven grand magus was potentially capable of destroying a planet, let alone the tiny asteroid on which the Magus Academy was built.

At first glance, the battle looked like a game of chase between a beast and eight hunters. Each of them had a power of their own, and together they were able to stand against the king, but one wrong move and the beast would kill any of the hunters.

In the middle of the fight, the elven grand magus once again turned pale as they all felt another equally powerful figure descending from the sky. This figure was no less powerful than King Alduin, none other than the Supreme Protector of Golden City, Rosin Karat.

The old supreme didnʼt actually join the fight. Instead, he just watched how the Emperor Dragon fought the 8 powerful elf figures without losing.

He then unfurled his arms and began a summoning spell. Metallic humanoid figures appeared out of thin air, each of them possessing strength comparable to that of a peak magus, yet the old man created a hundred of them in seconds.

The sky above the Magus Academy turned bright with golden figures swiftly descending on every corner of the academy.

The scale of the battle tipped in the favor of the humans as the hundred strong reinforcements and twenty plus grand magus, who were no longer needed to fight the elven grand magus, joined the battle against the magus and saint level elves. They quickly spread out and swept through the area, killing and capturing the two hundred elven magus present.

Meanwhile, Emery was still busy continuing to teleport more civilians who were threatened by the battle.

After ten minutes, as the Emperor Dragon successfully defended against the combined attacks of the eight of them, the elf grand magus once again made up their mind unanimously. In an instant, they turned around and tried to escape.

Some threw artifacts, some took ships out, while others tore escape scrolls. But, unbeknownst to them, the old supreme magus who had only been watching their fight had actually been waiting for such a moment.

A golden net that covered almost the entire sky of the Magus Academy was cast, stopping any ships, figures and even spells. In the end, Emery could see that only three elven grand magus managed to escape and at the same time most of the dark elves on the ground had been routed.

It was also at this moment that Emery felt his connection with Grand Magus Yvere was cut off. As the spell wore off, the old Magus touched his shoulder.

”Open your eyes. Itʼs all over now.”

Emery fell silent at those words, now that it was over, his heart and mind went to what was left of Battleborns. He quickly cast a spatial gate, arriving to what was left of the devastating collision.

What he saw was hundreds of people who survived. All were crying at the body of their commander and family, lord Izta, the Gilgamesh.

The battle was won, but there was not the slightest bit of joy or relief in Emeryʼs heart
