Earth's Greatest Magus

The arrival of the three magus dressed in blue cloaks right after the Star Blast that devastated the area only served to further feed the anger within Stildar. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the three and screamed loudly.

“Garnet!! You will pay for this!”

The Nexus magus leader, however, seemed unfazed by the threat. He remained calm while talking to his companions.

“Rodrick, you bring your men and search for Minister Otto. As for you Wildon, help me kill all the people here.”

The bearded magus Rodrick Flynn responded with a nod. Beckoning his soldiers, the man’s figure disappeared as he shot towards the hill where the hideout was at breakneck speed. Seeing that, Julian forced himself to stand and chase after the magus. He paused for a moment and turned his head when he heard Emery’s voice calling out to him.

“Julian, here!”

With one hand still concentrating on healing the dying Shane Quartermain, Emery used his other hand to cast [Spatial Gate], creating a portal straight to the hideout. Not only that, he also asked Twik to go with Julian.

Magus Rodrick’s departure meant there were only two magus the group had to fight against. Unfortunately, Emery still needed some more time to attend to his patient as the latter would certainly die if he stopped right now.

No one except him could replace Emery to do the treatment since what he was currently doing was quite particular. It was such an intricate treatment that utilized his unique root-like energy to seep into Shane’s body, maintaining the tiny embers of his life while operating all the projectiles embedded in his body.

Noticing the dilemma of his friend, Thrax became excited. He quickly pointed his finger at the last magus of the three, Wildon Weiss – a young magus with a sleek and slim figure like that of a female.

“You! You don’t look like much, but accept my challenge!” shouted Thrax as he stomped the ground.

While Magus Garnet and Stildar began their fight, causing waves of flames and cracks of lightning to manifest like a disaster, Thrax swung his weapon vigorously at Magus Wildon with a ferocious grin on his face.

The Magus dodged the attack by retreating backwards. He then took out a thin flexible looking spear and assumed a bizarre form before provoking Thrax with a gesture of his finger. Facing the taunt, the Thracian only became more fired up.

“Yes! Spear fighter! I am gonna enjoy this!!”

As someone with abundant fighting experience, Thrax certainly knew better than to underestimate his opponent, especially when the other party was a bonafide Magus. Deciding to go all out, he quickly used all his buff spells and skills.

As his entire body was enveloped by a distinct red layer of fiery aura, the Immortal Gladiator shot forward once more, attacking Magus Wildon with a horizontal sweep with his golden glaive.

Seeing the incoming attack, the sleek magus’ hand shone as he cast a spell. Water mist appeared and enveloped the entire area, while at the same time the magus managed to dodge Thrax’s attacks again with a mesmerizing movement technique.

Thrax was about to give chase when an alarm went off in his head. Unfortunately, he was still a bit too late.

Splaatt!!!

“Argh!”

Crimson liquid splattered across Thrax’s chest as the cross-shaped wound was made by the magus. Not only did he receive an injury, this also showed that a magus could easily enter a gap in his defenses and kill him any time he wanted.

It was a powerful combination of spear and water element techniques.

“Hahaha, I’m not a fool like those two Jorah and Conleth. I have had an opportunity to learn spearmanship under a spear master in the past, so none of you Rank 9 would be able to defeat me!”

Even though searing pain tortured his chest, Thrax got onto his feet again and swung his weapon at the magus.

However, no matter how fierce he attacked or the battle art he used, not a single one connected on the water magus.

Wounds began stacking up, but none of them were lethal.

The magus was playing with him.

On the other hand, things were not going well on Stildar’s side as well. Not only was Garnet stronger than him, but the wound he received from the Star Blast also took a toll on him.

“You are a fool for choosing the wrong side, Stildar!” Magus Garnet said while delivering a powerful flaming sword attack.

BOOM!

Although he was pushed back by the attack, a condescending smirk existed on his face.

“Haha, you really talk big for an asskisser!”

“Huh! Delinquent! Die you rebels!”

The two magus were fighting high in the air, so the aftermath of their battle didn’t have much impact. Nevertheless, the spectacle of them hurtling high tier level flames and lightning at each other created loud booms and shock to the area.

Realizing that both Thrax and Stildar wouldn’t be able to win their fight without help, Emery made up his mind. He opened his Spatial Space and took out an item – [Reviving Pill].

The miraculous Tier 1, Level 5 Originality pill was perfect for anyone under Rank 9, and as a saint level individual, Shane should be the perfect subject.

The reason he didn’t take this pill immediately earlier was because although the pill had been appraised, Emery had never tested it on humans. Hence he couldn’t help but hesitate. But now, he couldn’t afford to.

Moments after he made the man consume the pill, Emery could sense that the dwindling lifeforce of the man slowly growing, helping the recovery process.

He estimated that he only needed to attend to the man a few more minutes before he could safely leave the old marshal on his own.

“Hang in there, just a little bit more!”

Seeing Thrax being overwhelmed and receive more and more wounds from the water magus made Emery a little anxious. Fortunately, his Spirit Reading perceived more powerful figures coming from the west, a reinforcement.

A familiar thunderbird zoomed from the distant horizon with a screech, and two figures soon enough descended from the sky.

Klea who had a fierce look on her face had arrived, together with Chumo. They immediately approached Emery.

“Sorry that we’re a bit late. Those drones were just too annoying.”

ARGGGHHHH!!

A loud scream resounded in the air, drawing the attention of everyone. The eyes of Emery and the others widened in disbelief when they saw it was Thrax. His own spear had pierced through his chest, forcing the seemingly invincible gladiator to drop his glaives and drop to his knee.

The sleek female-looking magus pulled out the spear, causing blood to burst out everwhere, staining the ground; and with a wicked smile, he said.

“Hahaha, you are late. Too late! One is already down!!”

“THRAX!!”

Looking at the group’s expressions, Wildon felt a sense of satisfaction. However, his face changed when the presumably incapacitated Thrax suddenly grabbed both his arms tightly.

Before Wildon could do anything, Thrax pushed his feet up and smashed his head into the magus’ chin.

BAM!

Arrghh!!

Then he once again smashed his head to the magus’ face, erasing the smirk on his face.

BAMMMM!!

Another collision and the magus’ nose was broken, blood gushing out as a few of his teeth were knocked off before Thrax finally let go of his grasp and the magus staggered backward.

“Arghhh!! You Barbarians!!”

The angered water magus raised his weapon to the air and tried to deliver a decisive blow to Thrax, but a figure emerged from the Immortal Gladiator’s shadow and parried the pointy sword.

Clank!

It was the Asian friend Chumo. However, the tremendous force by the magus caught him off guard and pushed him back, crashing into Thrax.

Taking advantage of their momentum, Chumo held Thrax’s body and brought him back to where Klea was.

“You stay here Thrax, my turn”

“Urgh.. I still can. Fight!!” said Thrax, despite his pale face and extremely bloody form.

Klea however grabbed the gladiator and forced him to stay still while casting her water healing spell on him.

“Yeah, yeah, I know mister mighty warrior! Let me heal you a bit first!”

With both of them occupied, this time Chumo has to fight the water magus by himself.

Chumo took out his dagger and cast his shadow clones before saying

“Switch of fighter!”

On the other hand, the fight between the two magus Stildar and Garnet was also at its end, with the rebel leader Stildar being blasted hard into the ground by the flame magus.

“Now this all ends here!” said the Nexus magus leader loudly, confident that no other can stop him.

The trembling Stildar forced himself to stand but suddenly an arm was placed on his shoulder.

“You can rest and look after your brother now”

With him finished healing the old marshal, Emery stepped up ready to fight the Flame Magus Garnet.

Intrigued with the magus flaming sword, Emery took out his own weapon Savage Sword.

“Let’s see which of us is a better swordsman”
