Earth's Greatest Magus

With Stildar running beside him and the unconscious Otto on his shoulder, Julian ran across the many hallways of the Nexus Space Station. Their steps were hasty because right now they were practically being chased by everyone at the station.

Every direction they headed, there would be dozens of mechanical soldiers and saint warriors waiting for them with brandished weapons. Although these enemies were not hard to deal with in his eyes, the problem was that there was no time for him to squander.

Seeing the blockade in front of them, Stildar cast a chant and launched a powerful lightning streak. The lightning struck the group of enemies, stunning them in place and giving an opportunity for the Roman to charge forward.

[Shield Bash]

Positioning his shield in front of his body, Julian skillfully blocked every energy shot fired at him and crashed into the blockage standing in their way. As if there was a typhoon, the mechanical warriors and saint warriors were blown away.

BAAAMMMM!!!

Some of the mechanical soldiers were destroyed by the collision that occurred, while some of the saint warriors were thrown and fell to the ground. Although unassuming, the battle art technique the Roman used was effective.

“Urgh!” A groan escaped from Julian’s mouth as he felt his insides shake from the impact. He then fell to his knees and spat out a mouthful of blood. Even so, he stood up in the next second and started moving again.

“The paths to the hangar are all blocked! What now?!” shouted Stildar.

“This way!!” Julian chose one particular path.

After that, he looked at the magus and told the latter his plan.

Stildar had an indescribable expression on his face as he heard Roman’s words. But in the end, after hearing the plan his collaborator proposed, a wide smile could be seen hanging on his face.

“Hahaha, you are really brave, huh?” He said as he stared at the Roman. “Alright, I agree. I’ll follow your plan.”

Moments later, the two were blocked by dozens of mechanical warriors and saint warriors on a hallway full with glass windows facing the dark space. The two of them had been surrounded with no way to escape.

“Surrender! You have nowhere to go!”

However, there was no response from the two people.

The two groups of enemies gradually advanced, with their weapons brandished and ready to fire.

Julian and Stildar both calmly observed the two groups approaching closer. It was only when there was a small distance between them that they finally took action.

There was only tens of meters between them when Stildar finally released the [Lighting Bolt] spell he had prepared. However, instead of firing the spell at one of the two enemy groups, he aimed it at the glass window of the space station.

The massive bolt of lightning struck what separated the interior of the space station from outer space. It instantly shattered and created a hole in the wall of the space station, creating a vacuum that quickly sucked in everyone nearby

“What are you doing?!! You are crazy!!”

Ignoring those words, Stildar quickly grabbed Julian and the unconscious Otto. Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped out, entering the vast black expanse called space.

While Stildar was able to stay in space for a few minutes thanks to his magus level cultivation, the same couldn’t be said with the other two people who went with him.

Therefore the rebel leader quickly put into action the plan he agreed to earlier.

The plan Julian proposed to the man was to escape through the exterior of the space station and head towards the hangar. It definitely was a crazy idea, even more so when it was proposed by an acolyte like him.

The extreme freezing of space swiftly entered Julian’s body. Feeling the chill and the painful sensation following it, the Roman quickly cast a fire element spell. A cloak of fire quickly engulfed both him and the captured minister.

The spell wasn’t a long term solution, but it should be enough for their current situation. The two of them only needed to last for a few minutes against the dangerous environment of outer space.

Unfortunately, the terrifying space was not the only thing they needed to worry about.

Half a minute after their breakout, three figures also entered the space. The two at the front were the magus who welcomed him and Thrax – Magus Rodrick and Magus Wildon, while the one at the back was none other than Magus Garnet.

Immediately, a volley of spells were thrown at them. Knowing very well he couldn’t afford to be entangled by those three people, Stildar put his entire attention on avoiding the attacks and reaching their destination – the hangar.

After all, Julian might be able to hold on but the minister who was with them might not.

Evading the attacks sent by their chasers, Stildar eventually appeared at the end of the line where suddenly a small spaceship flew by and started shooting at the three magus who were attacking him.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Shots were fired, sending the magus back while creating a clear path for the two of them.

When they saw the person piloting the spaceship, both Julian and Stildar had smiles on their faces. It was Shane Quartermain.

Wasting no more time, Stildar tightened his grasp on Julian and Otto and dashed towards the spaceship. When the spaceship’s hatch opened, a familiar figure received the group.

The Immortal Gladiator Thrax.

SLAM!

The hatch was quickly closed as Stildar entered the spaceship. Letting go of the two people he brought through the short yet dangerous trip, the magus leaned his body on the nearby wall and heaved a deep sigh.

Julian was panting heavily when Thrax suddenly grabbed his body and helped him get up. “Don’t you dare die on me, Roman. At least not before I get a chance to gloat to the others how I saved your ass!”

“We’re not safe yet!” shouted Shane from the pilot seat as he quickly controlled the spaceship to dash away from the space station at a speed that the group of magus could keep up with.

Ignoring the former marshal, Thrax stared at his rival, a smug smile plastered on his face. “You’re surprised, aren’t you, Julian? Hahaha, I, Thrax, managed to turn the ship and set off autopilot before sneaking out and hiding in another ship.. I am a Genius!”

Although he felt pain all over his body, Julian smiled as he grabbed Thracian’s shoulder and said, “Great job, Thrax. I really couldn’t ask for any better.”

Thrax’s chest swelled higher at the rare praise of his rival. To be honest, he was actually scared shitless when the ship started to move by itself. In his panic, he swiftly tried to exit the ship and managed to get out before it left the hangar. Later on, Shane took control of another ship and picked him up.

“We’re being chased!” screamed Shane when he saw dozens of drones and several spaceships flying in the distance right behind them.

BAM! BAM!

The entire ship shook as it received an attack from the drones. From his pilot’s seat, Shane could see the damage the drones were doing to their transport.

“That drone is too fast! We won’t last long if this continues!”

It was truly unfortunate that the small spaceship Shane had stolen from the hangar had no warp drive capability. Hence, with so many drones chasing them, the group unanimously decided to turn around and fly down to the planet.

Thanks to the numerous damages it received from the drones’ attacks, the ship wouldn’t be able to withstand its blazing entrance into the planet’s atmosphere. Therefore the group quickly prepared themselves to jump out.

With the still unconscious minister on his back, Julian and the other three jumped out of the burning spaceship. Moments after they left, a deafening sound shook their eardrums as the ship finally exploded.

KABOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
