Earth's Greatest Magus

Seeing such an emotional reaction from the two magus, Klea took a step closer to the two people and said, “Hmm, what’s wrong? Tell me. What are you two being so nervous about?”

The straightforward attitude she showed clearly annoyed the large man. In fact, the latter seemed to want to say something when his thin colleague suddenly stop him and put an arm on his shoulder.

Looking straight into Klea’s eyes, the man said, “All of this is beyond your jurisdiction, Envoy. I advise you to stop and leave the planet right away.”

While Klea frowned at those words, Emery couldn’t help but heave a sigh as he was not ready to go just yet.

At this point, there were just too many suspicious things going on that they couldn’t let go like the two magus advised. Moreover, there were also the millions of orcs hidden underground which was not a trifling matter.

However, with the faction itself telling them to stop, any kind of decision that involved them delving further into this matter would most likely be detrimental to their mission as a whole. Hence he was stuck in a dilemma.

Emery realized that the problem he faced at the moment was exactly the objective of the academy’s final test. The acolytes were put in situations that forced them to think and make the right decision based on their assessment of the situation.

While Klea and the two magus locked in a silent confrontation after their earlier interactions, Emery was silent as he sank into deep thought contemplating what their next move would be.

A few moments later, Emery finally made up his decision.

He stepped in between the ongoing confrontation, gazing at the two magus sharply but threw his words at the girl next to him.

“Klea, if it involves a massive number of orcs, isn’t this no longer considered a faction’s matter but the entire alliance’s?”

Immediately understanding what he meant, Klea smiled and played along by saying, “Yes, exactly.”

On the other hand, Emery’s one sentence shocked the two magus, as if it had struck perfectly on their wounds.

The burly man who was clearly the impatient kind erupted into fury as he bellowed angrily. “You Rank 9 weaklings! You really should not get involved in things beyond your standings! Your so-called alliance will not help you down here!!”

The skinny man was seen letting out a sigh at the crude words and unbecoming action but didn’t attempt to stop his colleague. It was apparent that the two people had made up their minds.

At this moment, Chumo’s voice whispered into Emery and Klea’s ears.

“There is nothing to worry about. Those two are not Crescent Moon yet; they are still New Moon magus.”

From his words, it seemed that Chumo had managed to master his [Eye of Raven] to its next stage, which allowed him to peer into and obtain the two magus’ information.

[Jorah]

[Law of Wind – 5% comprehension]

[Battle power: 210]

[Conleth]

[Law of Earth – 4% comprehension]

[Battle power: 250]

It was clear that the two magus were people who had just broken through the magus realm with mediocre advancement, just like Bradley who Emery had met in the past – the fire magus-level acolyte who was in the privileged class.

“Thanks, Chumo”

Ignored by what in his eyes were only three rank 9 acolytes, Conleth was even more incensed.

In the next instant, the man’s skin turned dull gray as his body transformed into stone from the effect of the Tier 6 spell [Earth Body] which could only be cast when one reached the magus realm. It increased the defense capability of the magus immensely.

Meanwhile, his colleague Jorah drew two daggers on both of his hands. Staring at Emery and the others, the skinny man said, “You really should have stopped when we told you to!”

To which Emery calmly answered, “I apologize if we were mistaken with our assumption. But this is our mission, and i intend to see it through”

“Huh! You will regret it, Envoy!”

Saying those words with a condescending tone, the large man immediately took action and pulled up a large rock five times his size from the ground, throwing the massive object toward the three.

“I’ll take that!” Klea shouted as her hands crackled with purple lightning. A bolt of lightning shot through the air rapidly and struck the flying rock, breaking and shattering it into pieces instantly.

Emery followed his actions by raising his arm and awakening the spirit energy within his body. Utilizing the small pieces of the shattered rock that scattered about in the air, he cast his Tier 5 offensive spell [Ash Blast].

However, he didn’t use it to retaliate against the earth magus. Instead, he willed the combustible cloud under his control to sweep over the surrounding area, which managed to hit Jorah who was sneaking up trying to attack with his daggers.

BOOM!!!

A deafening explosion occurred as the [Ash Blast] unleashed its might.

Not wanting to give the magus a chance, Emery quickly concentrated all the power of his Tier 5 spell to forcibly send the wind magus hundred meters away. This action of his separated the two magus from one another.

“Let me take care of that one,” said Chumo as his figure turned to a haze of black shadow. A moment later, he emerged from within Jorah’s shadow with two gleaming daggers brandished in his hands.

CLANK!!

Loud metallic sound reverberated through the yellow landscape as Jorah stopped Chumo’s daggers with his own. Staring at his attacker, the wind magus had a disdainful look on his face as he said, “Huh! shadow user! I’ll chop your head off!”

The magus tried to overwhelm Chumo through sheer force with their difference in cultivation, but before he could do so, Chumo’s figure disappeared and appeared behind him again, launching another attack.

CLANK!! CLANK!! CLANK!!

While Jorah and Chumo fought, the burly Conleth stomped the ground and shot towards Emery, trying to knock him using his new durable stone body. Unfortunately, a big chunk of ice rose in his way, followed by a deluge of white that quickly covered every part of his body in a thick layer of ice.

[Ice Prison]

Klea winked at Emery saying, “I will take this one, then.”

The ice that shackled the earth magus’ body was only able to last for a few seconds before shattering into pieces.

However, by then Klea had already prepared with a Tier 5 water spell. It quickly replaced the existing ice into a body of water, and bound the magus in place with its powerful water current.

[Ocean Restrain]

“Now let’s see how strong your Earth Body really is,” said Klea with a smile as she stared at the man trapped inside the sphere of rushing water.

While her right hand controlled the water spell, Klea had her other hand unleashed the next attack she had prepared.

[Chain Lightning]

Cracks of lightning emerged from her hand and shot towards the trapped Conleth, causing the earth mage to scream as the two spells perfectly synergized with each other and inflicted excruciating pain.

Emery looked at his two friends, a smile hanging on his face. Looks like he probably doesn’t need to join the fight,.
