Earth's Greatest Magus

It had been weeks since Emery's three elements were severed and he lost the ability to cast any of his nature spells. It also meant it had been weeks since he utilized the [Nature Grasp] spell to absorb Gaia's energy from nature and channeled it into the mysterious seed lying serenely next to his spirit core.

Emery knew what he had been doing for weeks was creating a certain effect on the seed, but since the result didn't show in his stats, he couldn't help but feel as though his last few weeks had been a complete waste of time.

On the other hand, the condition Emery was currently in had a positive effect on the improvement of his dark core. He was extremely elated when he found out his rate of absorption inside the Khaos space had increased twofold.

As a result, Emery decided to put off his [Nature Grasp]-based training and shifted his focus on his darkness cultivation.

...

[Spirit force has increased]

At the moment, Emery's figure could be seen sitting cross-legged inside the Khaos space. The sensation he felt while absorbing the Khaos energy was as if he had turned into a sponge that was thrown into the ocean. He swallowed the energy around him like crazy, as waves of raging spirit energy rushed throughout his entire body.

Notifications telling Emery an increase in his spirit energy had appeared in his mind almost every day, netting him 5 to 6 spirit forces increases a week. That was a tremendous improvement for him.

This result was comparable to if he consumed a Spirit Foundation Pill every day and enjoyed its effects all the time without its effects diminishing. It was simply unbelievable!

The notifications didn't stop coming as Emery continued cultivating. He kept on going relentlessly, every day and night, and only took a break once a week to rest for a few hours, while he trained the girls. In his mind, nothing else was more important than his training. It's just him and the Khaos space.

Time flew by and weeks passed in the blink of an eye, but Emery kept doing the same thing. Then, without him knowing it, 3 months passed, which meant he had gone through a total of 12 weeks of undisturbed training.

Emery slowly opened his eyes and checked the symbol on his hand.

[Emery Ambrose]

[Battle Power : 65 (49)]

[Spirit Force : 412 (318)]

[Spirit Core of Darkness – Stage 5]

[Fey Bloodline – Rank 3]

[Acolyte Rank: 8]

A smile gradually grew on his face when he saw such a high number of spirit force in his stats. Then,  However, a gurgling noise suddenly sounded nearby, sending him out of his excitement.

"Huh! Kid, what are you smiling about?! If you were a little bit more talented than you are now, you could be a magus already!" said Killgragah, while scoffing at his reaction.

Raising his eyebrow, Emery asked. "Can't you say something nice for once?" 

"I'm just stating facts, boy! Oh Heavens, such a cruel fate for me, the Great Killgragah, ended up taking care of an untalented human like you."

Emery inwardly rolled his eyes, while outwardly putting a grateful look on his face. "Yes, oh great and superior being! I would never have gone this far if it weren't for you. Therefore, I am forever grateful to you!"

Hearing Emery's flattery, the dragon responded with a smug face. "That's more like it! Now, hurry up and form your foundation already! It's been too long!"

"Of course! But I still need my break." 

After pacifying the dragon one more time, Emery exited the Khaos space. Today, like usual, was the time for Emery to meet the girls again.

In the last 3 months, Emery had trained each of the girls. Moreover, they had also consumed the [Gaia Serum] that he personally concocted.

When Emery arrived at the appointed place near the hut, he saw the girls were all already there, waiting for him.

After receiving Emery's guide and teachings for 3 months, they had mastered the second level of the sword arts. As if that wasn't impressive enough, Emery was dumbfounded when he discovered that two girls, Morgana and Gwen, had already begun setting their foot on the third level.

Emery had never doubted Morgana's prodigal talent, as she was the strongest Fey in her generation before he came. 

What utterly astonished him was Gwen, who was able to match the other party's skill. The former princess was certainly an eye-opening sight for him. However, Gwen had never managed to beat Morgana. Not even once.

Afterward, it was time to check their cultivation progress. 

When Emery tested the youngest of the Fey sisters, the notification that came out brought a smile to his face.

"Congratulations, Glita. You have successfully broken through to Rank 4 acolyte."

Glita

[Battle Power - 23]

[Spirit Force - 51]

[Element Affinity - Ice and Plant]

[Spirit Aptitude B]

Glita was so happy hearing it. "I knew it!! I knew it!! Hahaha!!"

She then talked about how yesterday she believed her animal friends were making a party for her. The others could only smile helplessly at the youngest's behavior, while Emery continued on with the tests.

Tyra

[Battle power - 24]

[Spiritt force - 50]

[Element Affinity - Earth and Plant]

[Spirit Aptitude C]

Lilith

Lelith

[Element Affinity - Wind and Plant]

The three C aptitude girls were all at the peak stage of Rank 3 acolyte, they still hadn't received a success on breakthrough yet. As for Morgana, she had reached the peak of Rank 4.

Morgana

[Battle power - 29]

[Spiritt force - 60]

[Element Affinity - Fire, Plant and Darkness]

[Spirit Aptitude A]

And last but not least, Gwen. Even though she had the least talent, she once again surprised him as she managed to breakthrough to Rank 3 acolyte.

Gwen

[Battle Power - 19]

[Spirit Force - 41]

[Element Affinity - Water]

[Spirit Aptitude D]

Their results were all still under Emery's expectations. It had been proven that [Gaia Serum] would start losing its effectiveness at Rank 4. Therefore, from there, it would come back to each of their personal talents in cultivation.

Emery watched with a gentle smile as all the girls congratulated Gwen on her progress. It seemed she had managed to grow close to the Fey sisters and Fey's people in the past 3 months.

All of a sudden, Emery sensed a group of people entering the Forbidden Forest, heading directly in the direction of the Fey village. Hence, Emery and the girls swiftly went back to the village
