Earth’s Greatest Magus

Ever since she had been captured, Klea had been kept inside this particular room. Every day, for the past two weeks, she could only remember the torturous experience of her body being chained and her mind tormented.

“You will tell me all that you know about the Primordial Wisp!”

“Stop resisting! No one will come to help you!”

The female grand magus tried several ways to trick her mind, the relentless torment and exhaustion from her captivity could not help but create gaps in her defenses.

After days, Klea knew the grand magus had successfully extracted many of her memories. Still, the latter persisted to visit her twice, or at least once, a day to once again probe into her mind.

“Stop all this! Just kill me already!”

A snort of disdain rang out from the great magus. “Kill you? No! Just you wait, I have a better plan for you!”

Even though she was on the verge of breaking down, because of the torture she had endured, Klea was still able to hang on thanks to her firm belief that Emery would come for her, liberating her from all this torment.

“He will come for me… He will!”

Then, on this particular day, the girl was awakened by a strong vibration that shook the room she was in. Despite being in a semi-conscious state, she could hear a lot of loud noises, which made her wonder what was going on outside.

It was at this moment that the thought of Emery once again emerged in her mind. The longing for his arrival had made her keep imagining his figure coming through the closed door.

Unfortunately, with a body and mind that were completely exhausted from the treatment she had received, her eyes had lost their focus and she could not see clearly. Even so, she was sure that there were people entering the room and that it was not that damn witch.

“E-Emery… Is that you?”

To be honest, Klea was a little disappointed when she heard the distinctive female voice; there were two of them. But then, she quickly realized both voices were somewhat familiar to her ears.

“What has that old hag done to her?!” One of the two spoke in a furious tone, to which the other quickly replied.

“I don’t know. We were just told to stand guard. No one has ever been allowed to enter this room apart from her.”

Klea could hear an exasperated sigh before the first person spoke again, “You go and remove the chains that bind her body, while I’ll try to heal her.”

The two voices gradually brought a little of her consciousness back. Even so, she was still not able to make sense of any of it.

Moments later, she could feel a pleasant warm sensation entering her body, followed by another words from the figure.

“I’ve healed the wounds on her body, but the most severe problem is her mind.” The voice said,

“Her condition is a complete mess. I don’t even know where to start about healing someone who’s been afflicted by prolonged mental attacks! Huh… I should have brought that kid Arcana here, he might be able to help.”

“There is no time,” the other figure said. “We should just grab her and get out of here now!”

Despite the urgency, the second voice didn’t move. “Wait, I think she can hear us. Let me try something first.” Klea could feel the figure was staring at her before suddenly saying, “Hei! Wake up! We have to leave this place immediately, wake up!”

“Huh?! Are you trying to jolt her mind? Is that the best you can do?!”

The figure who said those fierce words then fell silent for a second before saying, “Klea… Your man, Emery, is waiting for you… So wake up, you are going to see him now!”

The mention of the name of her man seemed successful. For a moment, the girl finally spoke. ‘Em…er…y…”

This of course elicited an excited response from the figure. “Good! It’s working! Say something else quick!”

“Yes… Klea… You have to come with us, Emery will take you out of here!”

This time, the girl did not give any response.

“Huh! That’s disappointing… I thought that serpents were supposed to be smart! Step aside, let me give it a try.”

As she thought about what she should say, the second figure was silent for a moment before saying, “Klea, do you recognize my voice? It’s me, Annara. Do you remember me? I’m that bat girl, and the one next to me here is Silva. Of course you still remember her, right? She’s the one who beat you in the magus tournament.”

When Annara’s name was heard, the two could see the girl was reacting again. However, the difference was it seemed to bring some sort of emotion to the girl.

Realizing she was on the right track, she was excited when she added “Yes, yes! I know that you definitely remember us. Me and this girl here, both of us. We spent months on the island with your Emery… and one night… we did it… we have a steamy… and wild!”

“Annara! What the hell are you doing?!” Silva interrupted.

But then, to her complete surprise, a second later the confused girl stood up and followed by a powerful thunderbolt that suddenly erupted from her, sending the two of them flying across the room as she shouted in rage.

“You! How dare you! Emery is mine! And you… you tricked him! You bitch!”

The anger she was currently experiencing was surprisingly capable of releasing the girl from her mental binds and she was finally able to see and move her body smoothly. Meanwhile, the two people were celebrating seeing what happened.

“We did it!!” said the white-haired girl excitedly.

“We? What do you mean by we? It’s me! I did it!”

“You… you are unbelievable.”

Ignoring the red-haired girl, Silva turned to look at Klea and said, “We need to go now. Come with us.”

Klea however stood still once again. Now that she had returned to her senses, looking at the room she was in at the moment, she remembered about her being a prisoner and receiving torture.

But on the other hand, looking at the two girls before her, though they seemed to be smiling and friendly, neither of them was someone she could trust. Staring at the two of them, Klea wore a blank expression on her face as she asked in a cold tone.

“One is a traitor while the other is an outcast: why should I follow you? As far as I know, this could be one of that old hag’s tricks again!”

Those words only made Silva irritated. Still, for the sake of him, she tried hard to calm herself before saying, “Trust me, I would leave you in a heartbeat if I could. But I promised Emery that I will get you out of here, so shut up and let’s go.”

“Hah! I’m going alright, but definitely not with you.”

“Urghhh, you do know that you don’t make any sense now, right?” If this is about me sleeping with your boyfriend, then I’m telling you. If it wasn’t for the poison, I would never have done it even in a million years!”

“Hah! Such a liar, you can’t fool me!”

Seeing the two people arguing, the crimson haired girl quickly interjected. After all, they couldn’t afford to prolong this pointless farce in their current situation.

“Seriously you two? All of this just for a man?” She said, attracting the attention of the two. “Come on. We all fucked him, alright. No biggie. But if we don’t get out of here now, we’re all fucked!”

Fortunately, her words managed to get the two girls to stop their bickering. Though the frowns were still visible on their faces, they quickly exited the room and rushed to reunite with the other groups.
