Earth's Greatest Magus

The message from Terra City was alarming, and Emery couldn’t help but suspect a connection between the Nephilim’s sudden move and the incident involving Grand Magus Ishtar just 12 hours ago. He knew he needed to head to Terra City immediately to assess the seriousness of the problem. However, as he was walking out of the spring, he noticed a significant change in his senior, Ashaka.

The Abbot released the accumulated energy he had gathered into one breath, causing his entire body to glow, and Emery sensed the aura of the full moon magus realm coming from the man. The breakthrough was a sight to behold, his aura radiating power and vitality.

“Congratulations, senior,”

Ashaka, the Abbot, had been injured and stuck within the saint realm for nearly a millennium. Despite his deep comprehension of the spirit law, he had been unable to advance due to a lack of rich resources on Earth. The Myriad Spring of Life had done wonders for his body, significantly boosting his attainment in light elements. It was evident that the spring’s potent energy had provided the final push he needed to break through his limitations.

[Ashaka]

[Magus Realm: Full Moon]

[Law of Light – 26 (30)%]

[Law of Ice – 9 (10)%]

[Law of Fire- 8%]

[Law of Metal – 4%]

[Law Comprehension – 47 (52)]

[Soul force 392 (455)]

[Battle Power 382 (433)]

Seeing this, Klea stepped out of the spring, her voice playful as she teased, “Ahh, I am so envious… “

Despite her light-hearted tone, Klea had also gained substantial benefits from the spring. Although she hadn’t reached a breakthrough, the improvements were evident.

[Kleopatra]

[Magus Realm: Half Moon]

[Law of Lightning – 18%]

[Law of Water -16 (19)%]

[Law of Wind – 11(12)%]

[Law of Ice – 10 (11)%]

[Law Comprehension – 55 (60)]

[Soul force 532 (568)]

[Battle Power 375 (380)]

Klea’s improvements might not have been as significant in recent years due to her focus on mastering formation paths, but her accumulated soul force surpasses that of most full moon magus.

Seeing the significant effects granted by the spring, Emery understood why so many magus, even grand magus, sought to become instructors at the academy. Although the spring’s effects might diminish with prolonged use, its potential to help Magus reach the grand Magus realm after a few years of teaching was undeniable. This realization fueled Emery’s determination to strive harder and aim for the higher hall next semester.

“Okay, let’s head back,” Emery said, his voice resolute.

The three of them flew back to Hall 60, the landscape below them a blur of colors and forms. Along the way, Emery explained the situation in Terra City, detailing the Nephilim faction’s latest demands and the urgency of his departure to address the crisis.

“I will be leaving a gate here in the hall,” Emery said, trying to reassure Klea and Ashaka. “So I should be able to return anytime.”

Klea and Ashaka exchanged glances before Ashaka spoke, his voice steady. “Emery, you should focus on the task at hand. We can handle the training of the acolytes in your absence.”

Emery gave a slight glance at Klea, who smiled warmly and added, “Yes, yes… I will pay good attention to your daughter.”

As they approached Hall 60, the serene atmosphere was disrupted by an unexpected presence. Damo met them at the entrance, his expression a mix of concern and frustration.

“Master… we cannot stop him. He just forced himself in,” Damo reported, glancing nervously over his shoulder.

The visitor was Ronan, the serpent supreme. The fact that he could enter Emery’s hall meant that the man had managed to gain special academy access through his connections. His presence was both surprising and concerning, given the complex situation Emery was already dealing with.

Emery approached Ronan with a gesture of respect, masking his unease. “Anything I can help you with, Senior?”

Ronan’s casual demeanor didn’t waver as he responded, “As I said, I owe you a favor, so I’ll be hanging around you for a while.”

Emery took a deep sigh, his mind racing with the potential complications Ronan’s presence could bring. “Senior… honestly, your recent favor just got me into a huge problem.”

Ronan raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Oh… how so?”

Emery’s relationship with the Nephilim was not really a secret, hence, he decided that transparency might prevent further complications, and briefly explained his situation. He outlined the delicate status of the Earth faction, the recent confrontation with Grand Magus Ishtar, and the troubling news from Terra City.

“So that’s what happened… maybe I should pay a visit to this old woman again,” Ronan mused, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Emery had zero trust in Ronan and the way he handled things. The serpent supreme had shown a willingness to kill hundreds of innocent lives and endanger his own faction to achieve his goals. Emery knew it would be better to keep his distance from the man.

“No… please don’t,” Emery said, his tone firm but respectful. “If you really want to do me a favor, please stay out of it.”

Ronan started to chuckle, the sound unsettling Emery even more. “No… this is partly my fault, so of course, I will help. So we are leaving for this… Terra City? I will come with you.”

Emery could only roll his eyes inwardly, thinking, “This is not partly… it’s all your fault.”

He masked his frustration and replied, “Senior, I appreciate your offer, but it’s important that this situation be handled delicately. Your presence might escalate things further.”

“No, No.. I am coming with you!” Ronan insisted.

Ronan was a supreme figure with immense authority and connections. If such a figure were to help him, Emery would undoubtedly receive significant benefits. However, Ronan’s priority should have been recovering his strength. His insistence on following him must have been driven by ulterior motives, likely seeking the secret of Emery’s Khaos entity. Emery took a deep sigh and decided to ignore the man. He spoke a few final words to his acolytes before leaving the hall and heading towards the academy portal, aware that Ronan stayed close behind him.

However, as soon as they arrived at Utopia City, Emery had already vanished from Ronan’s sight.

“Where the hell did he go?!” Ronan exclaimed in frustration.

Emery had used the split-second moment after stepping out of the teleportation gate to access his Khaos waypoints, directly arriving at Terra City’s artificial waypoints. However knowing that Ronan was looking for him, he should not return to the academy for a while, or risk revealing the existence of his Khaos gate.
