Earth's Greatest Magus

Emery saw the man with messy golden hair look at him with a wicked smile. The man appeared to be preparing a martial art stance the moment Emery arrived, he sarcastically said,

“How dare you insult me by being late! Huh, rank 9! Test rank doesn’t mean shit without skill!”

Despite the fact the person in front of him did seem to be acting a little too dramatic, it was true he was being late. Since it was an undeniable fact, he just responded to the animosity with a smile.

“I am sorry. I was too occupied with my apothecary before!” Emery responded.

His explanation, on the other hand, only served to enrage the man even more. The fact Emery forgot he had a duel with the man apparently was taken as an insult to him.

“Dammit, you forgot! A fight with me!? Diyoo! I will make you never forget this fight for the rest of your puny life!” The messy golden-haired man exclaimed with a slightly raised tone in his voice.

Seeing how the man reacted, Emery could only take a deep breath. Obviously the man could not be reasoned with right now. Whatever reason he tried to explain to him, nothing seemed to work. So, he decided to stay quiet, ignore him and get himself ready to fight.

Right after, Emery saw the man take out his weapon. It was two double sticks, two shiny dark metal nunchakus that he held one on each arm. He started to swing it around and then shout as his body quickly filled with a dark green aura, even his eyes were glowing bright green. It was definitely not a simple spell buff or battle art.

Since the man had already started his skill, Emery also started by casting [Jade Skin] and using his [Immortal Gate]. As soon as he casted them, spirit energy channeled to some of his nerve points and with it, his strength started to increase.

[Battle Power 238 (270)]

This was about the same battle power he had when fighting Atlas last time, and now he wondered how far it would fare against the rank 20 opponent.

“You’re gonna fight me empty-handed arent you! Huh! You’re gonna regret it!” Shout Diyoo

Emery was about to ready his sword when he was startled for a second. The truth was Emery was still reluctant to use the pitch-black tier 5 sword he got from Silva. As a result, he took out one of his master Xion swords, a tier 3 blade.

Right after he took out the weapon, Emery swung the sword at the man, signaling he was ready to fight him. The two of them stared intently at each other as if the embers of spirit could be read from the glare of their eyes.

“I’m ready, let’s go!”

Diyoo’s aura started to turn unusual, before suddenly it started to burst out. It was at this moment the man charged with a rapid pace, indicating he was most likely a wind element user.

Emery, on the opposite side, quickly swung his sword to fight back the man, but unfortunately, the man in front of him was able to change his trajectory at the last second with one simple step.

The man had a superb movement technique that made him able to dodge his sword attack easily. His speed level was so high that his movements were hard to predict.

Emery’s current battle power had almost reached the strength of a half-moon magus, but this acolyte was still able to outspeed him with his movement technique. It seemed like his top 20 rank was not a ruse.

The man was able to come out of nowhere and managed to lay a hit on Emery’s side body and forced him to push his step to the side.

Bammm!! Bamm!!

The nunchaku swung wildly as it hit Emery multiple times. The man attacked him without pausing for a second and his barrage of attacks was enough to create a crack on his jade skin.

Clank! Clank! bamm!!

Diyoo’s moves kept gradually increasing both in speed and strength. Emery could see the man’s aura fiercely moving like flames; he could swear he saw two eyes and a wicked smile emanating from the aura.

Baammm!! Bammmm!!

The man was able to hit Emery a few more times, before he decided to return the favor. It was at this moment when he [Blink] reappeared behind the man and used his [Heroic Strike] battle art.

Swiisshhh!

However, Diyoo turned and held both of his nunchucks and smashed them hard into his sword. It was definitely a battle of art moves and it was strong enough to break Emery’s sword apart and push him a few steps back.

“Hahahah! Is that all you got? You can’t defeat me with this level of skill! I am Diyoo, the Demon Nunchaku! Unless you’re a master-level sword, you can’t beat me!” The man mocked Emery’s skill.

Soon after, the man finally showed his true power, as the aura behind him was finally able to form more clearly than before and fully emerged into Diyoo’s physical body.

Following his actions, Emery could sense the audience start to whisper, which boosted the man’s confidence even further. Seeing the crowd began to show their enthusiasm, the man wickedly smiled as if he was challenging Emery to put up more effort to fight him.

“Stop all the pretense! Show me your savage transformation!”

Said the man with a bit of showing off. In this case, he was in the urge to challenge Emery to a more intense fight. A split second later, he once again formed multiple martial art stances and got ready to fight Emery for the second time.

Emery at first thought about transforming into his wolf form and be done with it, but then he was reminded of Lord Izta’s words about him depending too much on his transformation. Therefore, he decided it was better to fight without it.

The man in front of him had a unique buff indeed, but most importantly he was probably a weapon master. The man was a formidable opponent. This could be a good opportunity to see how far Emery’s sword skills had improved.

Emery calmly cast a [Spatial Space] and slowly pulled out a pitch black sword all the way from grip to the tip of the blade. When Emery drew his sword, [Savage Blade] he showed a different sword stance than before, as if signaling he would start to fight seriously.
