Earth's Greatest Magus

Klea had never seen this form of Emery before.

It had the same size and familiarity as the Night Wolf.

However, instead of just his hands turning sharp and his limbs covered in jet black fur, his entire body turned to that of a wolf. Emery currently looked really similar as to when he used his second form of his previous fey transformation, but with a much stronger aura and six long, blade-like claws on his hands.

HOOWWLLL–!!

As its howl echoed through the air, the beast's figure shot forward at unprecedented speed. Seeing the three meter tall monster charging towards her like a meteor, the female magus quickly stepped aside.

The crazed Emery dashed past her as a result, crashing directly into a huge boulder. The boulder pieces were falling onto the beast's body like rain.

From the speed and strength it had just shown, Klea could clearly tell that the current Emery had higher battle power compared to his usual Night Wolf transformation.

On the other hand, while Magus Shena might only be a Rank 6 Legendary bloodline – not a Rank 8 Mythical such as Emery, the bloodline and cultivation level she possessed were Dragon and Full Moon magus realm. As such, she was the only one who could deal with Emery at the moment.

Magus Shena was the possessor of one of the famous Azure Dragon bloodlines [Tide Wyrm], which was shown from the sparkling blue scales that cover her skin and the two pairs of azure wings on her back.

Staring at the transformed Emery who was currently growling, the female magus said, "Let's see how strong you really are!"

Brandishing the crystal spear in her hand, Magus Shena disappeared from where she was standing. Her figure blurred as she attacked Emery.

The air was torn apart by the powerful swing of her spear that was aimed at her opponent's torso. However, thanks to its extraordinary beast instinct, the wolf was able to block the attack with its blade claws.

CLANK!!

A loud sharp sound resounded through the air as spears and claws clashed against each other. The beast tried to counterattack, swiping its other free claw at the female magus. Seeing that, Magus Shena quickly spun the shaft of the spear she was holding, using the other end to parry the incoming attack.

CLANK!! CLANK!!

Dozens of attacks were exchanged between the two in the span of seconds, and Magus Shena was surprised to find that she was unable to overpower the wolf with her five hundred plus battle power.

The wolf beast might not have high enough battle power to overpower its opponent, but its erratic and ferocious attacks force the female magus to fall within its own tempo, gradually causing her to be overwhelmed.

Upon realizing this, Magus Shena chuckled and looked at the crazed Emery in awe.

"Hahaha! Mythical bloodline sure is different!"

Swiissshhhh–– Splat!!

Knowing that the status quo could not continue, she quickly tried to wrestle the flow of the battle from the beast by establishing her own tempo. At the same time, she also observed the beast's movements, trying to discern a pattern from them.

Thanks to her swift measures, it only took Magus Shena five minutes before she could figure out most of the gist of the erratic movement the beast displayed. It growled as it suddenly found itself on its hind legs, but there was nothing it could do when the female magus started landing a few scratches on its body.

As time went on, the Magus gradually got used to the beast's attacks. After adapting to its erratic movements, the beast's attacks were no better than children randomly throwing punches and kicks.

More and more wounds began to appear on its body, but they swiftly disappeared as the wolf's monstrous regeneration factor kicked in. The blood that spurted out from the wound splashed the ground red. Despite that, the two continued to fight each other.

Klea, who was watching the fight from above, became anxious when she saw the bloody spectacle. As if knowing what she was thinking, the female mage spoke in a nonchalant tone, her hands still fending off the beast's attack.

"Don't worry, little lass! He just needs to unleash his urge. Those wounds will help him come to his senses faster!" As if proving her points, Magus Shena waved her crystal spear at Emery.

Spllaatt! Spllaattt! Spllatt!

Several more wounds were made, bringing the tally to the dozens; but at this moment, the wolf suddenly went berserk.

HOWWLLLL—!!!

Much to Magus Shena's surprise, powerful spirit energy rapidly gathered in the beast's chest. Before she could wonder what it wanted to do, the wolf howled once more and following right after was a destructive energy blast that shot out from its open mouth.

Although caught off guard, the female magus swiftly cast a protection spell, a Tier 6 light element spell [Arcane Protection].

A blue glass-like screen appeared in front of Magus Shena, stopping the explosion from reaching her by changing its trajectory. It managed to fend off the attack, destroying a nearby hill and creating an eye-catching mark on the ground.

"Magical beast indeed!" Magus Shena said, her face turned slightly pale.

Following right after the blast was the sight of the wolf charging in, and thanks to the female mage busy handling the energy blast, it managed to land a blow on the latter's shoulder. Its sharp claws broke the scales and tore through the flesh.

"Argghh!!"

The female magus immediately retaliated, launching a powerful roundhouse kick that sent the beast flying. While it crashed through the trees in the distance, she quickly cast a healing spell on her injured shoulder.

"Note to self, it's a mistake to play around with a devouring creature."

Knowing the mistake she had made, the female magus decided to not play around anymore. Flapping her wings that had unfurled wide, her figure flew into the sky and began chanting a Tier 7 water spell.

[Draconic Reservoir]

A few moments later, large body of water – a tsunami conjured of spirit energy swept the landscape and surged towards the beast from three sides. Engulfed without being able to do anything about it, the beast found itself tossed back and forth in the giant body of water.

From sky above, Klea realized that the main nature of the spell was actually to trap the wolf inside the water. It was a powerful water-based control spell that also tormented anyone trapped in it.

The beast repeatedly opens and closes its mouth, screaming and howling in pain. But after a few minutes, both Magus Shena and Klea realized that the waves of spirit energy in the body of water weakened while the beast got stronger with each passing moment.

"This… no way–"

A shocked expression appeared on the female magus' face when she saw the beast sucked the water into its mouth. It only managed to swallow a limited amount at a time, but each time it finished it became a little stronger.

"He can devour spells!! Hahahaha!!" the magus turned even more amused by the sight.

Knowing that it couldn't trap the beast anymore, Magus Shena stop the spell. Instead, she swiftly cast the ones that buffed her, increasing her battle power, defensive ability, and speed before once again dashing off to fight the beast head-on.

This time, she planned to fight passively to slowly tire her opponent out, while being careful not to get hit by the blade claws that could devour her power. While fending off the attacks that the beast ferociously threw at her, a thought came to her mind.

"No wonder the King is so interested in this young wolf."
