Earth's Greatest Magus

After the beast creature destroyed a section of the arena and left, among the clouds of ash and piles of corpses, one figure could be seen standing. Their head was lowered down, staring at the motionless figure of the young man who was held tightly by their arms.

“Jasooon… No…. Hang on… my son….” 

The patriarch of the Corvin faction, a mighty figure who stood above the masses, seemed to be holding back his emotions as he saw his son’s current state. The latter was dying after having his blood and spirit energy siphoned by the beast creature.

Jason was one of the thousands who fell victim to the Primal Beast’s rampage.

Led by Grand Magus Fantasme, a group of the Corvin magus were seen running towards their master. Upon arriving, she immediately checked the young master and quickly tried to save his life.

At the same time, Rikard Karst and the Locarios couple also descended from the sky in search of members of their own faction after their fierce fight with the Silvermane general had come to a halt.

It didn’t take long before Riddick Karst was found, or rather his cold body, which had become empty without a soul. On the other hand, Vivian Locarios was found in an even more tragic condition.

All four of her limbs were separated from her body and shredded into pieces, but her face was oddly found smiling. The two who were sentenced as criminals were dead, while the last criminal, Tidus the Chain Breaker was nowhere to be found.

Due to this incident, there were at least 10,000 people lying dead in the Silvermane Arena, with several hundred of them being magus level beings. At least half of those dead magus were men brought in by the two major factions; the sheer scale of the losses infuriated the two patriarchs.

At this moment, one of the Corvin elders reported to his master. “My Lord, the Right Hand, Lord Warwick, orders us to stop the King.”

Seeing the sight of her dying men, those words immediately made Meryl Locarios’ emotions explode as she angrily said, “Let that king of yours burn this whole city down if he wants to. We Locarios will have no part in this madness!”

Patriarch Rikard Karst also expressed a similar opinion with the Locarios. After suffering such a heavy loss, he now only wanted to gather all the survivors from his faction and leave this planet as soon as possible.

As for Philips Corvin, he was completely focused on his son, who was in critical condition. He waited nervously as Fantasme tried every means she could think of to save Jason. Hence, when she shook his head with a pained look, the Corvin Patriarch let out a deafening howl of anger.

“I was a fool!” Ripping off his clothes as grief overtook him, Philips cried into the sky. “I will stop the beast! I will make sure he pays for what he did to my son!”

While immense rage enveloped him, his figure transformed into a blue flaming wolf and shot through the sky, streaking in the direction where the beast had gone. Two elders of the Corvin also shot up into the sky, following behind him.

Along the way, other than the sight of clear destruction on the path that the beast had passed by in its rampage, the people of Silvermane City could be seen in chaos. They were all filling the streets of the city, frantically running away from danger.

Warwick, the old wolf, was currently seen standing atop one of the tall buildings, giving instructions to save as many civilians as possible. He was glad to see that Philips and his two elders had arrived to join in the effort to stop the rampaging beast.

However, what greeted them was the sight of General Talbots, who was considered one of the strongest among them, being blown away by the creature’s attack. His body crashed into a multi-storey building with a bang and collapsed the entire structure.

Four other patriarchs took his place, casting their spells and striking their weapons to the blood creature, One of them was Crytex of the Ironcrest. Even though they were no match for the Silvermane general, they were all able to hold their own because they were all of the grand magus levels. 

Realizing that no other patriarch would be joining, Warwick said, “Philips, we just need to lead it out of the city, where we will then tire it out. I hope the King will be back to normal by then.”

The Corvin Patriarch did not respond to those words. Instead, he took out a huge broadsword, and in a fiery rage he loudly said, “I have come to take revenge for my son! Do not get in my way!!” and shot toward the beast at breakneck speed. 

A total of 9 grand magus wolf half-bloods, leaders of various factions, and the strongest warriors of the Wolf bloodline, teamed up to stop the blood creature. Unfortunately despite their efforts, their weapons and spells didn’t seem to be doing much harm to the creature. Any damage they dealt would quickly recover as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, the beast’s attack ferociously and one smash of its arm was enough to seriously injure a grand magus.

The Primal Beast let out a deafening roar, one filled with a spirit attack that once again killed hundreds of civilians nearby and managed to catch a distracted patriarch. 

Crytex of the Ironcrest was caught by its claw, and to everyone’s surprise, multiple serpent-like blood tentacles emerged from the creature’s arm and swiftly siphoned the patriarch’s blood and soul force.

“No!! Let me go!!!”  screamed the old patriarch, regretting his decision to join the battle.

General Talbots flew in and smashed his hammer into the creature’s head, while Philips Corvin took the chance to swing his flaming sword at the creature’s arm, saving the Ironcrest Patriarch from doom.

Warwick observed the Primal Beast intently and using his spirit reading, he perceived that the flow of power that the creature just siphoned was channeled into its right chest.𝑂𝐯𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

Immediately, he ordered everyone to focus their attacks on that specific area. A shower of spells and weapons bombarded the beast, and after numerous attacks, Philips Corvin managed to tear open its chest with his sword.

Yet what was revealed beneath its crimson skin was a crystallized cocoon, in which, to their surprise, they could sense at least dozens of lives trapped inside.

“The beast feasts on the energy of the people trapped in that cocoon!!”
