Earth's Greatest Magus

There were five mountains on the floating island, but only the misty mountain matched the habitat where the tier 5 plant Taumatagoria could be found.

Both Emery and Klea took one of the known mountain cave entrances. There, they found an entire blue stalactitic cave with dozens of ponds and hundreds of small caves.

Emery had learned about the type of beasts they would find inside the misty mountain, which was why he chose not to waste too much time at the frozen lake.

Soon enough, they spotted six of the beasts near one of the ponds.

[Lizalfos]

[Legendary Beast – Level 10]

[Battle Power – 195]

The beast was in the form of a somewhat humanoid water lizard. It stood with two feet, showing its bulky two-and-a-half-meter body. At just a glance, it was apparent that its limbs and tail were extremely strong, and these low-level legendary creatures came in packs.

As soon as he confirmed that the figures in the distance were indeed the beasts he thought they were, Emery’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t contain himself from smiling, which brought confusion to the girl next to him.

“You’re in an awfully good mood all of a sudden. What happened?”

Emery didn’t explain. Instead, to allow the Egyptian Queen to understand better and faster, he directly cast a spell on the area in front of him.

[Mineralized Warriors]

A hundred figures made of solid minerals in his form stiffly rose. Following Emery’s orders, the earth summons rushed forward together to fight against the Lizalfos.

It was practically a ten-on-one fight. The Mineralized Warriors were clearly superior in terms of sheer number, but the legendary beasts were able to match the earth summons with ease.

The whole situation was a complete likeness to the fight with Jai Strider’s metallic figures. Upon noticing this, Klea’s face immediately beamed with anticipation as she started cheering for the Mineralized Warriors, albeit in a somewhat suppressed voice.

“Come on! Beat up those slimy lizards!!”

However, the excitement on her face didn’t stay for long. In less than 10 minutes, all 100 of the earth summons were brutally massacred by the six legendary creatures.

Klea couldn’t help but look at the scene in front of her with disappointment. What used to be a small army of golems had turned into rubble scattered on the ground.

She then glanced at Emery.

“Seriously…? Come on, I’m sure you can do better…”

Emery returned her gaze with a slightly awkward smile, but he thought so as well. Thus, after focusing more on creating them one by one, Emery created a total of 50 type one Mineralized Warriors and 50 type two Mineralized Warriors to fight against the six Lizalfos a distance in front of them.

However, this attempt didn’t go as well as they imagined either.

The 100 Mineralized Warriors had absolutely no synergy with each other. The soldier units were quickly wiped out, and soon after, the wolf units followed.

It was a complete disaster.

Both Emery and Klea let out a deep sigh at the same time. Emery was thinking about what he could do to make the Mineralized Warriors stronger when they saw another pack of four Lizalfos arrive.

Things just got more difficult.

“We should probably finish things fast. If more of them come, we might need to retreat.” Klea’s expression quickly turned serious.

Emery slightly frowned. He certainly didn’t like the idea of retreat.

This time, he created 300 Mineralized Warriors at once, the maximum number he could, and summoned them all to charge together against the 10 Lizalfos.

The number of Mineralized Warriors Emery created this time was enough to injure and weaken the water lizards. However, within 10 minutes, most of his 300 summons were already destroyed while they were only able to kill four Lizalfos and heavily wound two others.

The result was indeed much better than the previous ones, but it was still disappointing.

In the end, Emery still had to do it personally.

“Let’s go, Klea.”

[Fey Transformation]

At his signal, Emery instantly charged toward the two heavily injured Lizalfos while Klea cast a spell to prevent the remaining four from advancing and interrupting him.

[Spirit Devour]

Emery’s claws pierced the two injured creatures, with one hand each piercing straight at the two Lizalfos’s chest. It took him a few seconds to devour the legendary creatures before he rushed back to Klea’s side to help finish the last four.

After making sure that they had taken care of all the Lizalfos, Emery took one of the [Spirit Regeneration Pills] he had to refresh his spirit pool. Casting those hundreds of summons was quite consuming, after all.

When they found another pack of Lizalfos, Emery would once again summon the same number of Mineralized Warriors. Following the previous process, he quickly overwhelmed the Lizalfos and devoured their spirit one by one.

Although they were able to win each battle, the process was quite disorderly. It took Emery too much spirit energy to create and maintain the hundreds of summons, yet they could easily be destroyed by the lizard beasts. The way it went, it was much faster for him to fight these beasts without the summons at all.

All this practice wasted a lot of time. A day passed, but he had only harvested 30 out of the required 300 frozen flowers. Most of this time was spent training his summons.

However, Emery’s intention was to train his control, to sharpen his ability to influence all the Mineralized Golems. It was also a chance for him to devour more creatures. Moreover, they were also able to gain dozens of yellow spirit stones from it.

Two days passed. When Emery and Klea went deeper into the caves, the two noticed an increase in the number of Lizalfos coming out to attack them.

“Emery, a few are coming from the back.”

“I can sense them too, there are also some a bit further from our right.”

“Does this mean…?” Klea asked a little anxiously.

“Yes, I think so.”

After saying those words, Emery told Twik to stay close to Klea before swiftly using his [Twilight Transformation].

Soon enough, more Lizalfos came and surrounded them, 18 in number.

The Lizard beast themselves weren’t the problem. Even if there were more of them, Emery could still take care of them without much difficulty, and he would be more than happy to devour them all.

However, what made them both anxious was the creature that could bring these creatures together, one that was stated as highly dangerous in the data they received.

At this moment, a four-meter-tall creature slithered out of the chilling pond. The blue scales covering its body faintly gleamed in the cave depths as its eyes sharply looked in the two trespassers’ direction.

A high-level legendary beast, A Naga.
