Earth’s Greatest Magus

Chapter 615: Night Attack



Chapter 615: Night Attack

The man who appeared inside the room was a man clad in black robes that reflected no light. He wore a pair of glasses that perched on his unique hooked nose, but most of his face was concealed under a strangely shaped black hat. From one glance alone, Emery could already tell the man was a Magus.

The weird looking man smiled, showing off his crooked teeth, “There is no mistake, you are him…”

The man took out a steel staff shaped like a tube with hollow ends. The moment the magus activated it, crackles of high-intensity lightning-like energy emanated from the holes. The energy did not radiate a heavy feeling similar to general high-ranked magus attacks, but the noises it made was just as loud, cluing Emery it was an item made to stun. From there, he realized the man was there to capture him alive.

Emery stood up, still not perturbed at all and analyzed the situation. This man dared to come and capture him despite the fact that he was in the middle of Lord Izta’s palace. The place was a fortress with hundreds of strong knights and for him to dare to come, he must be a dangerous individual. Without wasting too much time, Emery quickly used up all the buffs he had.

[Immortal gate – stage 5]

[Battle power increased by 36 points]

[fey transformation – stage 1]

[Battle power increased by 10 points]

He decided to prioritize transforming himself, not just because he needed the extra strength, but also to allow him to use one of the fey innate skills. He took a deep breath and gathered spirit energy all around him into his lungs, before he shouted with all his might

“HOWWLLL!”

[Battle Howl]

[Battle power increased by 10 points]

The reason for that was no other than to warn the whole Terra Palace about the presence of these intruders. However, even though the howl did increase his power, the sound that was multiplied in strength by spirit energy was reflected back by the shadows that covered the room. The shadows rippled and moved like liquid, giving the impression of water instead of smoke.

When Emery’s plan failed, the mysterious man let out a barking laugh and said “No one can hear you once you are in my special cage… you don’t believe me? You can try and scream once again! Haha!”

Emery gritted his teeth, this situation was just great. Not only was he facing a magus, apparently this magus was someone whose techniques specialised in capturing people. There was no way he could stay still while the man tried to capture him, so he decided to cast [Blink] to move beyond the window.

Bammm!!

However he crashed, unable to pass onto the wall.

“Hahaha of course I did my homework! Your blink technique will not work here!”

This was definitely troublesome, Emery thought. The man was so sure of his victory, he kept playing with the lightning tube, as if Emery was already under his grasp. Emery stayed calm, however, and swung both hands in the air, opening a rip in space. Immediately, he jumped into the newly created gate.

The mysterious looking man was left dumbfounded.

“What!! A spatial spell! No one told me about him knowing such a spell!”

Meanwhile, right as he stepped outside, Emery immediately felt the effects of his fatigue. He needed to exert ten times more power than usual just to cast a gate to the courtyard of the palace. But that was of no consequence, right now, he was already outside.

Not wanting to waste time and let the man find him again, Emery gathered energy on his lungs again.

“Howwwlllll”

This time, his howl was heard throughout the Terra Castle and everyone inside woke up, alerted by the ruckus.

However, although he had managed to warn the whole castle, he was not out of danger yet. The distinct black smoke started to seep out from the window and landed outside the palace before forming into the strange man once again.

“Who are you? Did the grand magus Zenonia send you!” Emery shouted, hoping it would buy him more time

The man opened his mouth, looking like he was about to say something, but he decided to stop without giving any clear answers. “You will know soon enough”

A bunch of white mist instantly formed all around Emery, knowing it was a fool to fight a magus he decided to [Blink] away.  He only needed to buy time until help came. 

[Blink] [Blink] [Blink]

However Emery seems unable to reach the edge of the mist. 

“How is this possible!” 

Emery knew the exact size of the Lord Izta courtyard, hence for him to be unable to reach the wall by this time could only mean one thing. It was a blatant giveaway that he was currently under the effect of a mind spell or an illusion.

Knowing he was in grave danger, Emery quickly sat in a lotus formation and concentrated, filling his dual core to its max until it exploded in a stream of energy. That was the usual method to block or get out of the enemy illusion spells, but his attempt yielded no results. One thing was clear, the mist was definitely caused by an illusion spell with the power of Magus. The power it exuded was definitely on another level.

“Hahaha! You are not going to escape this time!”

In reality, Emery was standing still in the courtyard ever since the magus used his spell. As Emery was standing prone without any defenses, the magus walked leisurely toward him, just a few steps away from electrocuting Emery with his weapon.

In such a critical moment, Emery had no other option than to activate his fey blood and use the only skill that could help him out of this predicament.

[Fey transformation stage 3 – Shaman Form]

Baaaaammm!!!

The natural magic resistance quickly took him out of the illusion. As he returned back to reality, he quickly jumped back and avoided the magus’ attack.

“I am impressed!” The magus declared.

Emery was about to quickly [blink] away again, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his thigh that made him drop to his knees.

While he was avoiding the magus, Emery didn’t realize there was another person waiting and now he came out of nowhere before slashed his thigh open. He looked up and saw the second attacker possess a strange, curved dagger.

The man gave a dry smile and said towards the magus

“You should have wound his leg first so he won’t run.”
