Earth's Greatest Magus

“No! What is going on?! The door is closing!!”

“Wait! Don’t close! There are still people here!!”

“Please! Just let my family in!”

Masses of survivors and acolytes both fell into panic when they saw the transport vessel suddenly decide to close its door without any prior notices. As expected of such an event, great mayhem quickly descended upon them.

On the other hand, Thrax was enraged by the unexpected development. He started to curse and swiftly tried to stop the door from closing. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain as the door continued to close unaffected by his actions.

As soon as the huge door was completely shut, the dark construct let out loud rumblings and started to vibrate. The vibration was so powerful that it forced Thrax and the other acolytes back away. They also told the remaining survivors to move back so as to not get accidentally hurted by the blast the construct’s departure generated.

In less than a minute, the transport vessel started to take off from the ground, leaving at least several hundred thousand people standing in the field at the center of the base. They all could only watch helplessly as it rose higher and higher into the air.

In his newfound form, Emery turned his head and looked at the situation. He naturally wanted all the survivors to make it onto the transport vessel; however, given their current situation, he now only hoped that those who managed to enter could leave the planet safely. As for those who were left behind, he would find a way to help them later after a certain issue had been resolved.

From among the piles of rubbles, the transformed Abyss creature rose to its feet. Unveiled anger could be seen on its face as it watched the dark construct fly away rapidly.

“N-NO!! …No one will leave!”

It crouched down and stomped its legs. A crater was left on the ground as the giant shot into the air, towards the flying transport vessel at breakneck speed. Its figure blurred in the air, its hands outstretched trying to stop it from leaving.

However, before the Abyss creature could reach the vessel, Emery cast [Blink] and appeared right next to its ascending body. Without the slightest hesitation, he threw a punch that mustered all his strength at the creature.

BAMMM!!!

A loud dull sound was heard, but this time Emery’s fist was successfully stopped by the giant. The Abyss creature immediately tried to get rid of Emery because it still wanted to give chase. It threw a fist back hoping to blast Emery away, but it was stopped and caught by his hand instead.

Two huge figures, hovering in the air, one trying to push the other while the other trying to restrain the other. The struggle between the two unexpectedly turned into a contest of strength, and to the surprise of everyone watching, Emery was able to match the giant – even to the point where he gradually overpowered the latter.

The reason Emery was able to do such a feat that he couldn’t before was because of the plant armor he wore. It exerted seemingly endless power for his entire body, reinvigorating energy coursing through every fiber of his being.

[Emery Ambrose]

[Battle power: 250 (594)]

At the moment, Emery’s battle power had basically been doubled. 64 points was provided by [Immortal Gate – stage 6], 80 points came from his Fey’s [Twilight Transformation] ability, and lastly, a whooping 200 points from the fusion with the plant creature.

Emery was actually hoping that the surge of power that was coursing through his body had come from Twik; However, he naturally knew that this power instead came from the spirit beings that still dwell on Twik body,

He could clearly feel the pure and powerful light spirit energy entering his cores, and because of the presence of the newly-formed light pillar, Emery was able to channel that power in his body without any problems.

It made its way to his heart, throughout his entire body via his blood and nervous system, before it finally coalesced into his two arms that were currently gripping the arms of the Abyss creature. With a squeeze, the giant’s arms crushed into a mess.

“ARRGHHH!!!”

The giant with the face of Commander Raynor let out a loud scream of pain. It glared at Emery and said, “Why… why you stop me!..”

Emery knew that the Abyss creature’s words weren’t really for him, but for the spirit being within him. And apparently, he had an answer for it.

“Release the wisp… let her go, and we will stop all this madness.”

Those words were the intent Emery received from the offspring of the Primordial Wisp within him. From the intent, Emery also discovered something shocking. It turned out that the spirit being was certain that right now what was in front of him was not the existence representing the Primordial Wisp, but instead something else entirely; it was an evolved centipede creature that had taken over the Wisp for itself.

Hearing this, the Abyss creature chuckled with Commander Raynor’s face. “No… no… after tasting this power.. No!”

In an instant, the scythe-like limbs on its back shot towards Emery. With both his hands unavailable, Emery decided to use his head to deal with the oncoming attack. This seemingly reckless attack immediately sparked countless screams from the people on the ground.

BAMM!!!

Contrary to expectations, the powerful headbutt that harnessed the over 500 battle power strong enough to maul the creature making it stops. Immediately after, Emery swung his two legs towards the Abyss creature, kicking and pushing the latter with all his strength while still holding the two arms thight. As a result, its arms that were gripped by Emery were torn off.

Crraackkk!!

Seizing the opportunity, Emery once again unleashed a kick and sent the creature crashing to the ground. A small crater formed around the giant’s body as it groaned in pain.

It was at this time that a loud voice suddenly sounded, causing Emery to turn his head. He saw the transport vessel finally reach the force it needed to depart from the planet, and with its increased velocity, it continued to rise until it reached the planet’s atmosphere.

At the same time, the acolytes who were part of Platoon 1 began to be enveloped in light and disappeared, departing from the planet via the combat suit’s teleportation function.

With the sudden disappearance of around a hundred acolytes, the line of defense protecting the survivors basically collapsed. Seeing this, the survivors immediately started to run to the empty field at the center, while right behind them were millions of Abyss creatures craving for blood.

Emery saw his Platoon captains, Julian and Roran, still doing their best to hold back the approaching Abyss creatures. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be able to last long with their current situation.

He was at a loss whether he should help the survivors kill the Abyss creatures or finish off the centipede creature first. However, before he could even come to a decision, the giant suddenly let out an enraged roar, until its voice turned to a deafening, beast-like screech.

“Arrghh!! Kill them all!”

The ground rumbled violently, followed by a sudden emergence of even more hordes of Abyss creatures. Hundreds of stage 4 and stage 5 Abyss creatures made their appearances, and to his surprise, Emery could feel many powerful signs coming from all directions.

One… two… four; a total of four distinctive Abyss creatures burst out from the ground and let out a deafening screech. A humongous creature, 100 meters tall, they were all the stage 6 Abyss creature – Terror Centipede.

The fight just becomes even more complicated,
