Earth's Greatest Magus

Emery woke up from his unconscious state with the feeling of a headache hitting his head.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar female figure calling him with a smile on her face.

“Emery… you’re finally awake.”

“Klea… you are here..”

It didn’t take long for Emery to realize that he was currently lying in the bedroom he constructed inside his spirit cave.

“Why… How…?”

“I saw Magus Shena and she told me about what happened so… here I am.”

Hearing those words, Emery was quickly reminded of what happened before he lost consciousness..

“How long…”

“You are unconscious for almost three hours”

Emery quickly sat up and checked the situation within his body. He was greatly relieved when he found that apart from being exhausted, everything seemed to be normal.

Moreover, as he used his Spirit Reading to scan his condition, he also realized that Grand Magus Yvere was actually still in his spirit cave.

Emery quickly stood up, enduring the painful headache that was still tormenting his head, and walked out of the room to meet the elder. Worried about his condition, Klea quickly followed him outside.

Much to Emery’s surprise, he found Grand Magus Yvere was currently sitting in his garden with Twik standing right in front of him. The former’s hand that had turned into a root was stuck in the latter’s body.

As Emery approached them, he couldn’t help but to throw his gaze to where the twelve graves he had made earlier. A sigh of relief came out from his mouth when he saw the seedling growing on top of each and every one of them.

With this, all 30 Chizpur Fang had somewhat managed to survive the unfortunate disaster.

Thanks to that, Emery felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders. His steps were lighter as he approached the grand magus with a much better feeling than before.

“Thank you, elder, for your help…” Once again, Emery expressed his utmost and sincere gratitude towards the grand magus.

Seeing that he was here, Grand Magus Yvere let go of his rooted arm from Twik. It was at this moment, as they were in close quarters, that Emery realized that his little friend had returned to his prime.

“What a special creature..” The grand magus said in a fascinated tone, which earned him a curious gaze from Emery.

He then casually turned to Emery and said, “Now.. Would you mind explaining to this curious old man how you learned the Rebirth spell?”

Emery was enlightened from his confusion by those words. It turned out that this was the reason as to why the grand magus had not left yet.

Unwilling to hide such a matter from someone who had greatly helped him, Emery briefly explained the situation, about the light-based Primordial Wisp he encountered during the mid-test and its offsprings who helped him create his light affinity and also formed the core within Twik.

“I see.. It is indeed interesting…”

The grand magus was silent for a while before speaking again. “The Rebirth spell is an A rank divine spell that requires many conditions to be fulfilled before it can be cast..”

Emery immediately perked his ears when Grand Magus Yvere began speaking about the spell. The opportunity that someone was capable and willing to explain the spell he received from the Primordial Wisp was definitely something that he didn’t want to miss.

Seeing Emery focus his attention, the grand magus nodded slightly as he said, “Now I will explain the difference between nature and light based recovery spells.”

The grand magus began by outlining the nature spells of which he mastered.

“The Law of Life is comprehended from the understanding of nature, with Earth as the foundation, Plant that grows from, and Water that sustains it, all in continuation given life to living beings, these are what comprise the law.”

Grand Magus Yvere knew that not only was Emery proficient in three of the elements, he also possessed an unique bloodline that was compatible to learn and comprehend the law.

As for the spell [Rebirth], it was a light element based spell that required high comprehension of life in order to be able to learn it, which was an extremely daunting task to achieve in the first place. Especially for an acolyte.

“Rebirth, after all, is about repeating a life, which essentially requires the caster to break the Law of Time.”

The grand magus added that only the divine power of light. An energy which came from the source of divinity itself that could bend the Law of Time.

Realizing Emery’s comprehension of the light element was still low, Grand Magus Yvere asked him a question.

“Do you believe in fate, Emery? Do you believe that someone has the grand plan and plays the string in all things?”

The grand magus’ words sparked a reaction from memories. This was the question similarly thrown by Magus Urix, as the basis of comprehending the light element. Unfortunately, Emery still had no solid answer about such a complex issue.

Grand Magus Yvere stopped and said, “I am no expert in the light element, but the [Rebirth] spell is definitely a precious gift that you shouldn’t waste, you really should learn more about it”

The grand magus spent some time teaching him about the relation between life and nature once again before bid his goodbye and left the cave. Of course, he did not forget to remind Emery to take care of his little creatures properly, to which the latter responded with a firm nod.

Emery looks back at the garden within his cave with new sentiment.

This incident taught him to be more careful in nurturing his plant creatures. This attitude of course will also be included in his efforts to make the body tempering potion, as he wouldn’t want the same things to happen, especially since it would be used by his friends.

Emery really couldn’t afford Klea and the others suffered the same fate as the plant creatures.

What he really should focus on right now was his comprehension of the light element, which was the basis of his [Rebirth] spell and most probably also the skill [Plant Fusion].

He only had ten days before the final test mission began, and therefore he planned to spend all that time learning at the Light Institute.

On that note, Emery’s thoughts were on the girl he had been separated from for six weeks, and the fact that they were about to be separated again brought him another headache.

“She’ll understand, won’t she?”
