Earth's Greatest Magus

[You have been successfully recalled]

The moment he opened his eyes again, Emery was greeted by the tragic sight of the broken-down ruins under the night sky. Immediately after, he could sense that there were several of the hideous Nightwalker creatures present in his surrounding area.

Fortunately, the state-of-the-art, high-end [Invisibility Cape] provided for the mission that he was currently wearing performed its job splendidly, rendering him completely hidden in the sight of those creatures.

Even so, that didn’t mean Emery let his guard down. Instead, he had become even more vigilant. Before they departed, they had all been advised not to be near any of the creatures or to make any sound as it could potentially alert them.

After making sure he was a distance away from all the Nightwalkers in his area, the next thing Emery did was locate the other acolytes. Thanks to the fact they were all wearing the provided Invisibility Cape, the search would certainly not be an easy one.

Emery could only hope that they were all teleported in the vicinity of one another.

Without wasting any more time, he quickly but carefully climbed up one of the tall broken down buildings, taking the higher ground to get a full view of the surrounding area. He took out the personal device given to him and swiftly activated it. A few moments later, notifications entered his mind.

[Calibrating location..]

[Six other users detected]

Emery could see a small map taking form in his mind, where six green dots showed their existence. Comparing these dots to the white dot representing himself, he quickly deduced that Silva and the others were fortunately teleported in nearby areas, just a few miles between each other.

However, just as he was about to locate the closest one, he saw one green dot rapidly moving towards his current position. Turning his head, he could see the familiar figure heading in his direction.

Atlas the half-machine acolyte.

As expected, now that they couldn’t use their spirit reading to sense each other, Atlas’ enhanced mechanical eyes would be the most dependable asset on their hand in this place, especially when it connected with the personal devices prepared for everyone in the team.

Atlas gave a sign with his hand to motion for the former to follow him. Knowing what the half-machine acolyte wanted to do, Emery made his way through the Nightwalkers and caught up to him.

With the half machine leading the way, the two of them managed to quickly locate the others. They found a perfect spot in the basement of one of the broken-down buildings in the area, where they could safely talk and discuss their next move.

“Alright, now that we’ve regrouped, let’s talk about the mission.” said Eeshoo, assuming his role as team leader. “The first step — the entry — is successful. Our current location is 180 miles north of the compound, which is a little too far from our next destination. Thus we have a long run in front of us.”

After confirming the location of their next destination on the map, they all came out of the hiding. While outside, to allow them to communicate without sound, they used the same devices  which doubled as a mental communicator..

Eeshoo’s voice resounded in the minds of the other six people.

In order to ensure they weren’t seen by the Nightwalkers or the other party’s grand magus senses, the group neither flew nor used spells to ease and speed up their journey. At the moment, they all relied on the old-fashioned physical function; running.

With Atlas taking the point and paving the path forward, the group steered clear of moving through open ground and instead moved alongside the cover of the broken down buildings.

They also avoided areas crowded with the Nightwalkers, who were roaming aimlessly in the background of the night.

A few minutes after they started moving, the group couldn’t help but come to a sudden halt when they saw a ship take off into the sky. Turning in the direction it had come, they all quickly assumed that the ship had flown away from the compound.

Eeshoo’s voice once again sounded.

There was silence for a moment, before Atlas’ voice was heard.

An immediate response came from the Nephilim genius.

At this moment, Silva joined in the conversation.

Everyone could hear laughter as Anzi was amused by the white-haired girl.

Before Silva could respond, Eeshoo’s calm voice sounded.

As all seven acolytes possessed outstanding agility beyond their peers, the group was able to cover that twenty miles distance in the span of less than ten minutes. When they were about to arrive, Silva asked the question she was just wondering about.

Before anyone could think or discuss the question, they had finally arrived at the designated location for their next step. It was a station for what appeared to be a large underground mass transportation system.

Looking at the several Nightwalkers blocking the entrance, the group understood that they had no choice but to quickly kill all of those creatures without making a single sound, lest they want to be overrun by thousands of them.

Olivier, the fastest amongst them, swiftly took out his sword as his figure disappeared and charged in like lightning. Meanwhile, Eeshoo released his flying weapons and sent them to provide support to the Sword Saint.

In a matter of seconds, all a dozen Nightwalkers were taken care of with their heads chopped off, without any sound or use of spirit energy. Seeing that Olivier had backed away from the corpses of the Nightwalkers, Eeshoo spoke again.

Hearing those words, the half-machine acolyte put both of his arms on the ground and used [Seismic Scan]. It was scientific, instead of magical skill; one that allowed Atlas to sense the shape and form of the underground station.

It didn’t take long for him to discover the location of all the Nightwalkers underground and as they were unable to dodge them all in such a limited space, the group started to kill all the nightwalkers within their path, quietly.

All the way into the depths of the station, two stories down where Atlas found an anomaly on his scan, a presence of a figure, a living human within a large storage room.

“He is here.”

Atlas said so, but none could spot nor sense any presence. At least not until a voice suddenly came out from the shadows. Everyone was startled, but for Emery, he was shocked as he recognized the voice too well.

“Emery… I didn’t realize Senior Lucius would send you here.”

His eyes fixed on an empty wall as a figure emerged from the shadows; someone that was dear to Emery.

“Master Xion!!”
