Earth's Greatest Magus

”The Law of Devour?”

”Yes, Emery. That’s the one. I consider it one of the most terrifying darkness-type Laws I have ever seen.

What his master was referring to was definitely the one pillar in his dark foundation that had been labeled as [Undefined].

Realizing something, his master turned a little bit worried, 

”However, Emery, that one pillar should have been stated as darkness element. The fact that its state is undefined and there is a crack on your pillar is out of my comprehension.”

After hearing his master’s words, Emery suddenly felt concerned. He once again heaved a sigh, as he realized there was something indeed wrong with his cultivation. 

Apart from that, Magus Xion was piqued to clarify something, “As for the other part of your darkness pillars, it has to be the power of primordial wisp, doesn’t it?”

His master had already entered the Khaos Space before and gazed up at Killgragah, so he quickly recognized it.

”It is, in fact, different. There is a high concentration of Space Law in it. It’s pretty amazing.”

Magus Xion then explained the spells option Emery mentioned, [Aegis of Void] and [Void Armor], were exactly the dark spells that were ruled by the Law of Space.

”I believe you should master those spells,” Master Xion advised him as further mastering such spells would much increase his understanding of the law.

In spite of the fact that it appeared to be a confirmation of his thoughts, Emery’s mind was still disturbed by the broken pillar and he was keen to know more about it. 

”Master, do you have any recommendations on what I should do with the broken pillars or who I should speak with about the Law of Devour?”

Master Xion, much to his surprise, only needed a split second to say a name. “Actually… I thought of one of the white fang pack leaders… What is his name… Heorgar? The Demon Wolf. He was a magus with a Law of Devour. I am sure he definitely will be able to provide you with more explanations.”

A slight smile could be seen on Emery’s face when he heard his master’s words. As he was familiar with the name mentioned by the magus. He did remember senior Heorgar s innate skill that was able to turn its opponent dried.  As  he knew the issue came from his wolf bloodline skill, hence it seems appropriate to ask from fellow wolves.

Emery quickly felt a ray of hope, meeting the white fang packs suddenly became a top priority on his list. 

Finally, when it came to his Natural Law, Master Xion could only recommend one of the instructors in the plant institutions. “Magus Erica or… if you are lucky, grand magus Yvere.”

All of these names started to come back to him. Magus Erica was the plant magus. who was heavily wounded during the elves’ attack at Elders Respite.

”Is that all Emery?” His master asked, “Do you have any other questions?”

Now that he was here, Emery took the advantage to ask another question that had been bothering his mind.

”Master, do you know what is actually different with my cultivation that people think I will never be able to become a magus?”

Emery was still somehow disturbed by what the Sisters of Fate had said about the chance of him becoming a magus that was possible. He, on the other hand, was interested in learning more about this and needed to be convinced as well.

Magus Xion took a sip of his tea and calmly said,

”I did some research about the matter and I came to the conclusion that it’s not completely impossible.”

When Emery heard this, he immediately became excited. He was enthused to know there was a way other than just surrendering himself to Killgragah, if he wanted to pursue his ambition of becoming a magus.

In response, the magus inquired, “Okay, do you know what is required to become a magus?”

Emery responded with a nod. He had just heard about it from Annara and confidently said,

”1000 spirit forced, 9 pillars formed, consolidating it and letting the soul enter to make a breakthrough.”

The magus’s expression turned surprised after hearing Emery’s answer. He went on to say, “Not cultivation wise, other than that.”

Emery’s brows were furrowed. To be completely honest, that was all the information he had at the time. Knowing he was missing something, his expression changed to confusion. When the magus saw Emery’s expression, he realized right away he absolutely had no idea about any of it. The master could only heave a sigh before he went on to explain.

”Having your cultivation ready can only play one third in your successful chance to become a magus.”

”One third?” Emery was shocked to learn about the fact. Who would have thought that, even if one’s cultivation was ready, it would only play a relatively small role in the success of becoming a magus.

”Yes, 30% actually. But don’t get it wrong, your comprehension plays a major part in how great a magus you will become at advancement. But the success rate, the main key part to successfully becoming the magus is what’s called the scroll of awakening.”

The scroll was the key that would increase the chance by 60%, while the last 10% came from various potions. When it came to chance, the more expensive potions raised the chance by 10%, while the less expensive ones only improved the chance by a few percent.”

”Master The Scroll of Awakening is part of the items we receive when we graduate, isn’t it? I just didn’t realize how important the item was until now. 60% chance, that’s a lot!” Emery was instantly enlightened.

”Yes… For cultivators who are not talented, they mostly have less than 30% chance because of their weak comprehension of the Laws. Nevertheless, with the awakening scroll and a high-quality awakening potion, one could still have an 80% chance of success or a 20% risk of failure.”

Emery nodded, for a cultivator the risk of failure meant death. That was why a 20% chance of failure was a terrifying number.

”Now Emery, with your abnormal cores foundation. It was confirmed that you would not be able to follow the regular path of awakening using the scroll… leaving your chance of becoming a magus at less than 40%, much less if you have multiple Laws. It is even worse with an advanced one.”

Emery was stunned, hearing the master’s explanation, he could only stay deafeningly quiet at his place.

”I’d say you will have probably a 10%-20% chance to become a magus,” the master continued, making Emery more speechless with each of his words.

Well… 10 – 20% is still much better than impossible hence Emery should take it as good news, shouldn’t he?
