Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1425: Last Days

The first generation of the Earthʼs acolytes; The Great Sage from the East, the Northern Shaman, the Beast King of the West, Izta the Gilgamesh, and Enkidu; all of them were heroes of their era in Earthʼs history.

However, unknown to the existing historical texts, they were all just ordinary young warriors if they were compared to the great King Anu, the First King, who was the founders of Earthʼs civilization.

At the moment, Fuxi was explaining to Klea the history of Earth two thousand years ago..

She, who had always had a great curiosity about history, listened intently to the words of the Eastern Sage for this was a part of the missing history. One which couldnʼt even be found in the Great Library of Alexandria. Most of them disappeared from the world in the great deluge that covered the entire Earth.

”We donʼt really know what happened either. All five of us were in the academy at that time. When we returned, the king was dead and the Babylonian Empire was no more.”

The death of King Anu, who was the official proxy of the Nephilim at that time, paved the way for the Kronos faction to become the caretakers of Earth. Although there were irregularities in the exchange of power, Izta, who was the kingʼs nephew, refused to investigate further.

”The kingʼs body was buried along with his mysteries, sealed up and the existence of the tomb was obscured by the great flood that came after.”

The Eastern Sage indeed once found the entrance of the tomb. However, at that time he was still just a simple acolyte. He wished to return when he became a magus, but he had never been able to with Kronos blocking the way.

Fuxi then stretched out his hand and showed Klea a bronze amulet. It was normal at first glance, but Klea noticed it had a peculiar symbol of two engraved crescents opposite each other, which was the symbol of the house of Uranus.

”I didnʼt really like the idea of desecrating the kingʼs tomb, but desperate times call for desperate measures.”

Hearing the story and what the Eastern Sage just said, Klea quickly deduced what he was planning to do. ”Senior, youʼre looking for evidence that might help us take down Kronos, arenʼt you?”

Even though Klea preferred to beat the Kronos through a show of strength, that didnʼt mean she would reject other alternatives, especially if it aligned with their goals. After all, it could potentially be a fail-safe card for unforeseen troubles.

With that being said, the two of them quickly began her training. Closing her eyes, Klea mustered her focus and followed the Eastern Sageʼs guidance to further improve her spirit reading abilities.

Being someone who was not proficient in light elements himself, Fuxi taught her how to use the element combination as a method to strengthen her soul.

Aside from that, Klea also needed to learn the [Soul Tempering Meditation] technique. Hence, she went to buy all three books. Since she wasnʼt a privileged acolyte, she had to pay almost double the price they were sold for on the privileged planet.

During her days of training, more people came to visit the Terra Palace: Gerri the Violet Flame along with some other acolytes. They had come to bid their farewell as they were going back to their respective planets.

Terra Palace was also visited by people from Zodiac City, specifically Heorgar the Demon Wolf, who came with several White Fang members, who were close to Emery.

Everyone who visited the Terra Palace mostly came to see Emery, except for one. A young noble from a renowned faction, Anas of the Kaleos. He had come to check on Kleaʼs situation and convey his gratitude for saving his life.

”My planet Kaleos will be forever open if you ever need my help.”

…

After a month, the news that confirmed her return finally came out. It was finally time to pack up everything she needed.

Throughout the last month, the teams dispatched from the Apothecary Institute had tried their best to maintain Emeryʼs body in its prime condition. In fact, Master Dulin even donated an advanced medical tube that could preserve his body for tens of years if needed.

Klea had also obtained the necessary permission to visit Hyperion planet, where she brought Twik and the four Chizpur brothers back to Emeryʼs spirit cave so they could reunite with the other plant creatures.

Patting the small bundles of joy, Klea smiled fondly and spoke with conviction.

”I promise I will bring your master back.”

”Kuang kuang ku ku.”

Returning to the Terra Palace from Hyperion planet, Klea was welcomed by the farewell feast Magus Rosia and the others had prepared for both her and the Eastern Sage. ṛÃƝȮ𝔟ЕⱾ

The Eastern Sage decided to take his adopted daughter on another long journey. This time to fix the broken pieces of the Tier 6 [Array formation Flag] and look for the missing sets to further increase its power. As for Chumo, the female magus of Terra Palace, especially the youngest Yuria, promised they would monitor his progress closely.

The feast lasted until morning the next day and ended with a toast.

”To see each other again in seven years.”

A ship had waited for Klea at noon in the Golden city and she departed right away with Emery lying inside the tube.

Unbeknownst to her or anyone from Terra Palace, two figures were watching the ship from a distance.

The middle aged man spoke politely to the person next to him, ”Senior, I still think we shouldnʼt let them go like this. I wasnʼt sure before, but even though the elves tried to hide such a shameful day, I managed to find out that it was indeed a Star-devouring beast.”

The old man with a long white beard next to him seemed to think for a moment before saying, ”Delbrand, Itʼs best that no one finds out about this. Besides, returning home is the only path for him.”

With a smile on his face, the old man spoke as his gaze fixed on the ship that was becoming smaller and smaller. ”I hope I can live long enough to see what that young man will become in the future.”

After saying such words, the old man casually turned around and said, ”Come on, The council has approved our proposal for the new kind of academy. There will be a lot of work for us to do from now on.”
