Earth's Greatest Magus

When the ritual came into an end, Emery immediately brought all the four Fey sisters back and returned to his hut. As he told them to sit, out of curiosity, he decided to once again test their blood.

Seeing the number appearing on the screen from the symbol, Emery nodded his head in satisfaction.

Glita

[Battle Power - 31]

[Spirit Force - 60]

Tyra

[Battle power - 29]

[Spirit force - 60]

Lilith

[Battle power - 30]

[Spirit force - 60]

Lelith

[Battle power - 30]

[Spirit force - 60]

The simple action of joining the pact had given them a boost of around four to five battle power, depending on them. With their current amount of stats, those seemingly small numbers really brought a significant boost to their capability. They were now faster, stronger, and more energetic than before.

Emery also decided to use this time of opportunity to try the new skills he just got.

[Battle Howl]

A loud, sonorous sound was released from Emery's mouth as the skill took effect. This one skill was very similar to the one taught by the wolf bloodline acolytes, but he could notice the difference between the two. Not only was it a skill specific for his pack, it also gave double battle power increase than the normal [Howl].

When he used the skill, Emery saw that the girls' stats had increased again, to a whole another level altogether. Looking at the amount of enhancement they received, he couldn't help but smile widely. This skill would certainly be useful for the upcoming battle.

The next skill he wanted to try was [One Mind].

To his surprise, the moment he activated it, Emery found himself able to hear what the girls were thinking and vice versa. Their thoughts in his mind were like whispers, faint but it was there.

It was a very shocking yet fascinating experience for all of them, Emery and the girls. At first, they, especially the girls, were frightened by the voices that seemingly came out of nowhere and into their mind. But after quite some time, they discovered that hearing each other's thoughts had somehow brought them all closer. It was a rather odd discovery, but real nonetheless.

Unfortunately, the harmonious mood where everyone became closer didn't last long as Tyra, the oldest of the Fey sisters, suddenly thought of Morgana. As the thought of her 'circulating' through the skill, everyone else immediately became dejected at once.

Knowing this, Emery made a statement in his mind.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely bring Morgana back. I promise."

As Emery's words were transmitted to the others, they immediately lifted their heads up and looked at him. The sincerity in his words and the gentle smile on his face brought a smile to the four sisters, as well as a sense of assurance.

Now that the four girls had really become so much like a family to him, Emery wanted to think or find a way to help these girls get stronger.  He secretly made a note in his mind, to check out more about what an alpha could do to the members of the pack when he returned back to the Magus Academy.

When Emery was about to think of more things that might help the sisters, he was surprised by the thoughts in his mind that came from Glita.

"Brother, what is the Magus Academy?"

"!!!"

He didn't even have the chance to process her question when all the rest of the girls asked the same question. A moment later, he quickly responded by thinking about the school in his mind. As expected, they quickly responded.

"Yeah. What is that, brother?"

"A school that teaches magic?!"

"Wow, that sounds so interesting!"

"Is this school outside the forest? can we go there?"

Emery was shocked when the Fey sisters' questions about the Magus Academy appeared in his mind again and again, like a river that flowed endlessly. He was surprised to discover that the bloodline could escape the magic restriction the academy had put on him.

This could be a very good thing, and Emery could think of many ways this could help him and probably his friend as well. But then, uneasiness suddenly struck him. He needs to be more subtle about it. After all, the restriction must be placed for a reason.

Therefore, he quickly told the girls to keep quiet about what they had just learned and not to divulge it to anyone else. Noticing the seriousness on Emery's face, the girls immediately nodded their heads.

There were three days left until the day of the battle.

Emery was in no hurry as he could right away whisk himself and the girls directly to the venue of the battle using [Spatial Gate]. In addition, there was something that really bothered his mind and therefore planned to make the best use of the last three days.

[Battle Power: 89 (78)]

[Spirit Force: 593 (454)]

Currently, Emery could feel his spirit core brimming with spirit energy. He was pretty sure that once he reached the 600 mark, he would reach another significant milestone.

Something about the upcoming battle somehow worried him greatly. And with the date of the battle drawing near, he decided to not waste any more time and go back to the Khaos space.

He could only hope he reached the 600 milestone within his remaining time, which meant 7 points of increase in spirit force in three days.

Knowing that the time was tight, Emery immediately sat in his usual lotus position and started to cast his [Nature Grasp] spell, beginning to absorb the Khaos space energy.

…

[Spirit force increased]

[Spirit force increased]

…

Emery quickly lost track of time as he sank into cultivation. He didn't even know if now was only the second day or already the third day. Eventually, he decided to push on until he finally received the awaited notification.

[Spirit force increased]

[Spirit force 600]

[Congratulations! Your nature core has just been upgraded to stage 2!]

This was what Emery had been waiting for: stage two nature core. He could certainly tell that the upgrade this time wasn't just a number. 

He clearly felt the nature core inside his body was radiating twofold of its previous power. As a result, he could also feel his whole spirit force increase as well.

With this newfound enhancement of his, Emery finally felt he was ready to go to the battle.

But first, he went to pick up the four Fey sisters before casting the [Spatial Gate] to the location where the battle would be held, Camelot City.
