Earth's Greatest Magus

After killing all four of them, Emery naturally did not forget to plunder the corpses for all their valuables before making sure their dead bodies were hidden deep underground.

It was truly a pity that this half-blood magus didn’t normally use weapons to fight, as there weren’t any useful artifacts among their belongings. If that wasn’t unfortunate enough, those which were somewhat valuable were all marked with the Corvin clan crest.

There was no way Emery would take items that would blatantly inform others of his actions, hence he decided to bury them as well.

Nevertheless, Emery was not left with nothing for his loot this time.

Each of the magus still had quite a few spirit stones in their possessions, and the thin man unexpectedly had more than the three of them. So in the end, he managed to gain another one million in value.

Shortly thereafter, Emery was surprised when he saw Yoro’s figure approaching him from afar riding the wolf he gave to the young man. His surprise was because of how fast the man managed to find him.

Apparently, the Sandune Wolf had his way of tracking paths in the desert sands.

“I’m glad you are fine, chief.” The young man said respectfully.

On the other hand, Yoro was surprised to learn that Emery was able to defeat three magus so quickly. The three of them might only be at the New Moon stage, but they were still bonafide magus, yet his chief still managed to handle them.

Hence the braided young man couldn’t help but show apparent admiration toward his new chief.

“What happened to the miners?” Emery asks Yoro, speaking in a casual tone.

Upon hearing that, the young wolf quickly informed Emery about what had happened, and how the miners were able to overwhelm the remaining guards after he dealt with the thin man and then get out of the mine.

Before he went to catch up with Emery, he saw the hundreds of wolf half-bloods loot and burn the Mining warehouse.

That was good news for Emery. An incredible one in fact.

Damage to the facilities owned by the Corvin would inevitably have a negative effect on the faction, but what was even more important was the chaos this event created. Coupled with the death of the facility foreman, it would be very difficult to link any of these incidents to him.

Making sure he didn’t leave anything, Emery turned to the young man and said, “Get ready. We are going to Desertwatch City next.”

It was the place where the White Fang members were said to be sent as slaves. Not wanting to waste any more time, the two quickly headed for it.

While they were on the way, Emery took advantage of the time and decided to learn more about Yoro’s abilities. This would not only deepen the relationship between the two of them but should a situation arises, he would also be able to make a calculated decision.

Since he had only lived in the village for most of his life, Yoro didn’t really have many battle art skills. The same goes for spells.

Other than his skill in wielding the spear, Yoro only had two spells in his repertoire. Both were said to be those handed down from his ancestors, and they were a mobility spell [Gust of Wind] and a defensive spell [Sand Armor].

Much to Emery’s surprise, the two spells were actually unique Tier 4 spells. But unfortunately, due to the fact that he was still in the Saint realm, Yoro was unable to display their full prowess.

His bloodline innate ability, on the other hand, was something that Emery was extremely interested in.

Named [Earthpulse], it was an ability to read the earth’s footprints, even those that had disappeared for hours. It surprisingly allowed Yoro to be able to read the correlation between the wind and the sand on the ground, making it possible to track even if the target was flying.

Emery even had to admit that Yoro’s innate ability was even better than his [Wild Hunt] in terms of pure tracking ability, especially in open landscapes with sand present.

Following in Yoro’s lead, the two of them managed to find and hunt down more Legendary creatures along the way to their destination.

After killing and removing their spirit stones, Emery would usually just leave the corpses of the creatures alone. But now that Yoro was with him, since the young man was an experienced hunter, he knew a lot about the valuable parts of the creatures killed and helped Emery extract without reducing their value.

The two of them traveled for three days, until they finally reached the top of a hill staring down at their destination, Desertwatch City.

It was a city filled with buildings made of Yellowstone and was covered with an abundance of sand. Despite its barren appearance, it is one of the eight major cities on the southern side of Silvermane. It was widely known for its main specialty product: slaves.

“Chief, please be advised that this city is ruled by three major clans, and one of them is the Ironcrest,” said Yoro.

If Emery had not saved them back then, he would likely have found Yoro and his people on display in this city’s slave market. Still, just to be safe, Emery told Yoro to cover his face while they were in the city.

When they finally entered the crowded city, Emery found himself sickened by the feeling of disgust at the sight of people being locked in cages like animals. As if that wasn’t enough, some of them were chained and forced to stand in an inappropriate appearance for public display.

Men, women and even children could be seen; all without exception displayed with their respective price tags. But even so, all Emery saw along the way were just small slave traders.

All the major players in this business displayed their wares in a huge building right at the center of the city. It was a marketplace that shared ownership by the three different clans, called the Slaves Bazaar.

The moment he entered the place, being a magus, Emery was immediately approached by many vendors offering their products. Ignoring these people, he headed straight for what appeared to be an information center.

“Welcome sir, what kind of product are you interested in today?”

There were various categories of slaves, but generally only two main categories; workers and warriors. Since he was only interested in the latter, Emery quickly said.

“I am looking to buy a few warrior wolf.”
