Earth’s Greatest Magus

“Everyone was frozen in their place. Their minds still tried to comprehend the fact that a powerful individual that of Half Moon magus had fallen, and in such a gruesome way at that.

The bloody sight that the savage beast displayed managed to make the other magus subconsciously take a few steps back when they locked eyes with each other”

HOWWLLLL!!!

Like the previous times where the urge took over his body, Emery had little to no control over his beast form especially in the early moments after the transformation took place. During that particular period of time, the only thing he could do was to watch as his body followed its primal instinct.

After biting off Kasin’s head, the beast did not let the corpse go. Instead, it proceeded to stab the sharp blades on its arm deep into the headless body. This bizarre action naturally provoked a response from the three magus.

“What is that thing doing?!”

“That’s the Devour! It sucks up the energy within Lord Kasin’s body!”

While the beast was busy enjoying the prey it caught, the spirit soul of Magus Kasin emerged from its mangled body. It was quickly responded to by the metal dark elf magus, grabbing and then storing it into the metal tube he had created.

Unfortunately for the metal magus, his action invited the attention of the beast to himself. From within, Emery could clearly feel the immense anger the beast felt when he saw the metal tube in the magus’ hand. It was as if its favorite toy had been stolen from him.

In an instant, it threw away Magus Kasin’s body like trash and in a ferocious manner walked towards the magus holding the metal tube. Seeing the approaching monstrosity, the previously confident magus turned panicked and shouted to the other two.

“Stop him! Help me kill him!”

Without any more living captive near the beast, all three magus swiftly cast their strongest spells.

The darkness magus formed a sharp-looking spear made of darkness energy – [Dark Lance], the fire magus brought about a storm of tornado-like flame – [Fire Pillar], while the metal magus summoned three high-tier metal golems – each wielding a variety of heavy weapons such as hammer, broadsword, and ax.

The first attack that arrived upon the group of magus was the one-meter-long dark sharp spear. It rapidly flew through the air, generating a whistling sound before it managed to land on its target and pierce the wolf beast’s body.

ROOAAAARRRRR!!!

A deafening howl of pain resounded in the air. But then, to everyone’s surprise, the dark spear quickly dissipated into nothingness as if it was merely an illusion. What really happened was that it had entered the beast’s flesh.

“Did it devour my spell!” the metal magus shocked.

This peculiar situation caused the beast to not be prepared for the second attack which was the fire tornado. The disaster of wind struck the beast, cooperating with the prowess of the scorching heat to unleash extraordinary might upon the creature.

Seeing the approaching attack, the wolf beast instinctively used its left arm which was covered by the roots of the plant creature to block.

BAAMMMM!!!

A huge explosion occurred when the fire tornado struck its target, sending the beast flying several meters. It was so powerful that the roots protecting its arm were scorched as a result.

This caused the previously loose and motionless roots to act up as they started to erratically move on the beast’s arm, annoyed the wolf beast.

‘Calm down, Twik!’

Unfortunately for Emery, his words were currently unable to reach his little friend. Again, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as the battle progressed.

The flame quickly died down and the root regenerated, but this led to a struggle between the beast and the plant creature. The former tried hard to pull the plant off its body, however the living plant creature was determined to continue attaching themself to its arm.

Luckily, the wolf beast decided to stop resisting the roots when its eyes saw the arrival of the next attack – the three metal golems. Its attention was quickly diverted, and it immediately fought the golems as if they were its mortal enemies.

The metal golems were certainly not an easy opponent. Each of them towered three meters high and possessed battle power comparable to that of a magus. However, even the three of them were not capable of matching the beast.

Despite being attacked from three different directions, the wolf beast overcame all attacks thrown at it relying solely on its overwhelming beast instinct. It swiftly neutralized the golems one by one, breaking them apart like wooden toys.

“Kill that bloody creature! Attack!!” shout the Darkness magus throwing more of his dark spear.

p Deadly spells were launched in the air while the shattered metal golems continued to be reconstructed, but still, the beast did not fall. It was as if nothing in this world would be able to stop it.

“Stop shooting those stupid dark spears! Can’t you see that thing devouring it?!”

While the two dark elves were arguing with each other, the beast rushed out of the black smoke generated from the explosion of the fire tornado and shot towards one of them. The target was, unexpectedly, the darkness magus.

In a split second, the wolf beast figure was already looming in front of the magus.

“No! Not today!!”

It was a known fact that most magus had gone through hundreds of battles to reach where they were. Therefore, even though he was cornered by the beast, the darkness mage didn’t panic because he still had something up his sleeve.

The tattoos covering the magus’ body suddenly shone and turned into multiple black snakes, which immediately charged at the wolf beast while he himself swiftly jumped away trying to distance himself from the monstrosity.

However, when the snake entangled and bit the wolf, the magus found himself entangled by the roots in the wolf’s arm. A look of fear appeared on his face as he realized he could no longer move his body.

“NO!!”

As the beast yanked its arm, the magus’ body got inadvertently pulled closer and what awaited him was a pair of three-blade claws pierced his chest.

[Spirit Devour]

“Aaaarggghhh!!”

The shadow snakes the darkness magus unleashed had little to no effect on the beast. But on the other hand, the devouring it did instantly weakened the magus, and with his body entangled by the roots, the magus’ fate was basically sealed.

Instead of helping the darkness magus, the fire magus decided to remain still. He decided to play his cards carefully after seeing the situation, especially when he noticed the arrival of a group of people – several magus and dozens of saint fighters –  descending from the warship hovering above.

The reinforcement was spearheaded by eight magus-level dark elves. Two of them possessed the cultivation of Half Moon, while the leader seemed to have reached the Full Moon stage.

The situation which Emery’s beast had painstakingly resolved was about to become even worse, as now it needed to fight against ten powerful enemies. And if that wasn’t disastrous enough, the metal magus turned his attention to the female standing in front of the facility entrance.

He and his golems went straight toward her.

‘Klea!!’
