Earth’s Greatest Magus

Chapter 566: Final Attack

His new spell [Granite Wall] reformed the broken wall to make it into an even stronger one, making sure none of the undeads would be able to use another path to enter the castle.

Now that Emery had learned a strong new spell, he quickly found his solution to beat the powerful wolf.

The reason for his previous hesitation was not only because of how strong the wolf was, but also due to how each and every one of its attacks had the ability to affect his spirit energy. Because of this, he had no choice but to constantly keep his distance from the wolf.

But now that he had this he did not have to do that anymore. 

Not wasting another moment, Emery used [Shadow Root Binding] to stop the wolf, putting both of his palms on the ground, causing a long, thin granite wall to rise from beneath the ground. Right after, he controlled the wall to quickly cover the black monster like a blanket. 

With this, the monster was bound in place. And with the double restraints, Emery knew it was time for him to act.

However, the moment he let go of his two hands from the ground and stopped channeling his spirit energy, the two spells would be quickly weakened and the beast would be able to destroy it easily.

So once he let his hands go, he would only have less than a few seconds to execute his attack.

After briefly gathering his strength, he quickly used [Blink] to the top of the roaring monster, pulled the moon dagger that was still partly pierced into the monster’s neck, and pushed the dagger with all his strength.

Rooooaarrr!!!

The monster roared in pain as the dagger stabbed deeper. However, it was not even close to enough. If only he had a much higher-tier weapon, he would have been able to defeat the beast faster and easier. But because he did not have anything of the sort, he had to find another vital area to target in order to finish the beast.

He forcefully pulled the stabbed dagger from the monster’s neck into the air and quickly cast [Dark Infusion].

As the light from the moon shone on the dagger, Emery could see the moon dagger’s blade also emitting a faint light as if it absorbed the moonlight from above. At the same time, his two hands that were gripping the dagger’s handle could feel overwhelming power from the dagger.

The dark infusion was twice stronger than usual.

This took him by surprise. He managed to draw out the moon dagger’s hidden power!

Not going to let this opportunity go, Emery used all his remaining strength into the strongest blow he could give.

Spllattt!!! 

Emery pierced the dagger deep into one of the monster’s eyes. Seeing how deep the dagger went, he hoped that the stab managed to reach and destroy its brain as well.

The monster cried in pain as it tried to struggle. Blood splattered all over the surrounding area, before the monster was able to use the little amount of its remaining energy to break free. Mustering enough strength, the monster immediately tried to launch a counterattack, but Emery was not done yet.

He cast [Shadow Mist] and jumped around, while his hand cast his strongest spell. Soon after, a ball of dark sphere gathered in his hand.

The witch was wailing in pain, killing the numerous undead next to it in an attempt to run away, but Emery had no plans of letting her go. 

Not again.

When the sphere of his [Dark Matter] spell fully formed, reaching its maximum power, Emery once again cast [Blink] to the beast’s blind spot and hit it close to the monster’s head.

Bammmmmmm!!!!!

The hit was so powerful it threw the black monster a few dozen meters away, dyeing the area with even more blood. 

This was the strongest spell Emery posessed at the moment. When it blew up in the monster’s face, Emery knew he had finally won.

The witch was still trying to run with her last ounce of strength, but Emery easily followed behind her.

Using the shadow roots, he removed all the surrounding undeads and walked closer to the beast. As she weakly tried to climb out the hill, she finally fell, helplessly lying on the grass.

From the distance, Emery could see smoke emitted from the beast’s entire body from its attempt to heal its half-destroyed face and body.

With such severe wounds, its self-healing would take much longer, and it would take a huge toll on the person’s strength.

When Emery arrived closer to her, she had already turned back to her first transformation form. She was not fully dead yet, but her face was extremely pale. On her chest, the black stone could still be seen glowing, purple veins could also be seen bulging out from her chest, wrapping around the stone.

“You… are so strong now… Emery…”

As if he did not hear her, Emery calmly walked toward the crawling witch with the moon dagger in hand. However, instead of pleading for her life like one would expect from her in this situation, she laughed out loud, coughing blood in the process.

“Hahahah…! You’re naive as always, Emery…! You’re all fools…!  You’re all being used by Gaia…!”

Her dying words took Emery aback.

The witch was full of trickery, Emery knew that. Even so, still on guard and ready to end her life, he chose to listen to what the witch had to say.

“You must know… our ancestor… was not chosen as Gaia’s protector by choice… We were enslaved by Gaia… hahaha… And of course she would have so much interest in you… you are a very talented boy… her most important toy!”

The witch’s eyes were filled with hatred and obsession as she looked at Emery.

He tried hard not to listen, but now that he had heard it, he could not stop his doubts from surfacing.

If the witch was telling the truth…

“Stop telling lies, witch! And tell me where Morgana is!”

The witch laughed even harder hearing his words. With more disdain in her eyes, she answered.

“You two really are special… You really want to see her that badly…? You’re in luck… she’s going to arrive here soon… Hahahaha…!”

Emery quickly used his spirit reading to check. To his surprise, it was really true.

Right at that moment, a powerful figure came dashing toward the battlefield. From its signature smell, Emery could tell.

It was really her.

A black wolf identical to the witch rushed from the hill. However, unlike her, this one had a patch of red fur on its back.

Although the witch was weak on the ground, she could also see what Emery was seeing. Seeing the vivid expression of shock on his face, the witch loudly laughed once more.

“Hahahaha! Look, she’s here! Now… How are you going to deal with her?”
