Earth's Greatest Magus

The explosion that occurred as a result of Magus Garnet’s last stand was so powerful that it blew Emery tens of meters away before his body finally hit the ground hard. A groan of pain involuntarily escaped his mouth as he struggled to get up.

It didn’t take him long to discover that several of his bones were cracked, while various degrees of wounds were all over his body. The Jade Armor covering his body had completely disintegrated, revealing his skin which was mostly burnt by the searing heat.

As he growled in pain, Emery realized that there was a painful effect on his inner body. As if there were flames burning within.

Howwllll!!!

Emery let out a heart-rending scream due to the excruciating pain wrecking within his body, before his [Undecaying Body] eventually kicked in and his [Nature Blessing] followed suit, helping him to heal his severe condition.

To help this healing process further, he even took his new Tier 4 [Health Regeneration Pill].

From this, Emery was reminded of one crucial knowledge. The fact that he was fighting a magus-level individual.

Although this Nexus Magus could be comparable to his master Xion and Urix, he never fought any of them seriously, especially in a desperate battle to death like this one. And added with the special solar power suits he wore, the explosion was near the power of a tier 7 spell.

Of course, the explosion attracted the attention of his three friends who were nearby. Klea was seen running towards him.

In fact, she seemed a little hysterical when she saw the terrible condition Emery was in. Just as she was about to cast a healing spell on him, however, Emery stopped her. Faced with a confused look, he said, “I’ll be fine. So please go and help the others.”

As if to prove his words, another booming sound sounded in the air as the heavily wounded Magus Wildon took advantage of the fact that Klea and the other two were distracted by Emery to cast a Tier 6 water spell [Ocean Blast].

A massive wave of water crashed onto the landscape and dragged Thrax and Chumo in its powerful current, away from the wounded magus. Using that opportunity, Wildon immediately dashed towards the incapacitated Magus Garnet.

Gritting his teeth due to the pain in his body, he then flew into the sky with the fire mage on his shoulder. It was apparent what the water magus planned to do.

“They are running away!!”

The annoyed Thrax quickly stomped the ground and leaped into the air. Unfortunately, he was just a meter short of reaching the two magus. The two of them had flown out of his jumping range, so he could only helplessly return to the ground.

“No! you are not going anywhere!” shouted Klea as she swiftly summoned her thunderbird and mounted it, asking the summon to chase after the two magus.

However, as if it had been planned before – the magus’ escape route, multiple drones fell from the sky seemingly out of nowhere and started firing explosive tubes at her. This forced Klea to direct the [Lightning Chain] spell she had cast towards the drones instead of the two magus.

Boomm! Bommm! Boommm!

Loud sounds rang out in succession as the mechanical drones were destroyed by Klea’s spell. The destruction of these drones, however, covered the sky with thick black smoke, shrouding the two magus who continued to fly away.

Unfortunately, Emery couldn’t give chase because his condition still had not improved enough to allow him to move. This left only Chumo who was currently drawing his bow, an ominous aura of darkness congregating within the arrow nicked in the bow.

However, everyone could tell that the two magus were already dozens of miles away. Even if Chumo’s arrows managed to reach them from such a distance, it wouldn’t be strong enough to hurt them and too easy to dodge.

Emery saw Chumo still drawing the bow with all his strength as if he didn’t realize his effort would most likely be futile. But then, he realized that his eyes were on him. At that exact moment, something clicked and a realization dawned on him.

It was as if both minds were alike. Without saying anything, Emery freed one of his hands to cast a spell. A swirling portal quickly materialized right in front of Chumo, and he smiled as he removed his finger from the bowstring.

[Cursed Arrow]

SWISHHH!!!

The arrow passed through the spatial gate and came out just a few meters away from the escaping magus. It was already too late when Magus Wildon realized the attack.

Spalllltttt!!!

Everyone could see blood splattered in the distance as the arrow struck. It managed to pierce through not one, but two magus, sending both of them barreling down from the sky towards the ground.

“Yes! Great shot, Chumo!” Thrax shouted before he and Chumo promptly headed towards where the two magus fell.

When they arrived, they were greeted with the sight of two people in a half-dead, crippled state.

With the magus immortal body, both will not be dead easily, in fact even though they were incapacitated, the innate recover their body automatically.

In this case, Chumo quickly sealed the two with his little blade formation and Thrax grabbed the two magus and carried them like a sack of flour toward the hurting Emery.

Now that the two magus threats were dealt with, Emery looked at his friends and said, “We should see what happens in the hideout!”

Even though his condition hadn’t fully recovered, Emery was still able to cast the Spatial Gate and all entered the gate with their weapon brandished.

What the group found when they arrived on the other side was another scene of destruction. The entire hideout was on fire, numerous corpses littered the ground with the two Quartermains finishing off the few remaining saint Nexus level soldiers.

Finding no shadow of the people they wanted to see, Emery and the others swiftly took off. As they went deeper into the hideout, they found the last magus, Rodric, in a state of incapacitation with his entire body entangled by Twik’s roots.

“You are a little too late, guys.”

The group turned towards the voice and saw Julian with a faint smile on his face. Apparently, he had managed to defeat the magus and stop him from taking Otto back. At this realization, the group showed a surprised look.

“You defeated the magus? Alone?” Chumo asked with a bit of disbelief in his voice. He was quite surprised by his friend’s achievements, knowing that Magus Rodrick was a Crescent magus with a 9% comprehension in the Law of Fire.

“Hahaha, this little friend is very much doing everything actually.”

“Kuang ku ku!” responded Twik excitedly, waving his limbs all over.

Emery naturally welcomed the excited Twik and praised the little guy. Since Twik was upgraded to Mythical level, he does indeed turn much more powerful.

Nonetheless, despite the Roman’s words, he still found it really impressive that Julian was able to defeat a magus.

Not willing to discuss it further, Julian glanced at the rebel leader who arrived with the group saying, “This hideout has already been compromised. Do you have another place to go?”

Fearing another Star Blast attack that would surely destroy them all, Stildar quickly gathered all the survivors and packed the valuables in the hideout. After everyone arrived, Emery cast the [Spatial Gate] to the coordinates the rebel leader had told him.

When they all arrived at another hideout, everyone took a break to recuperate their condition while looking at the three new prisoners they had acquired.

Everyone found that they were looking at each other and the same question popped up in their minds.

“What should we do now!?”
