Earth's Greatest Magus

Even though they all had their own orbiter to move faster through the air, because they were currently in the Golden City, Emery and his companions chose to go around the bustling city using one of the hovering vehicles present in the area.

When Klea talked about buying more spells, the first thing that came to mind was to head towards the Three Sister of Fate's place. However, Emery had another place nearby that he wanted them to drop by first.

[Golden City Magus Guild]

Realizing the place Emery wanted to take them to, Klea opened her mouth saying, "This place does have a variety of spells we can buy, but they are not nearly as good as the ones at the Sister of Fate." Turning to her man, she asked curiously. "So do you have any particular reason as to why we are here?"

Klea's words were not without reason. After all, the magus guild was a facility specifically catered for any magus and acolyte to utilize. Therefore, they were not just a place to buy spells, but also a hub for magus and acolytes to obtain and receive quests, food and lodgings if needed.

In fact, the latter was actually the reason as to why Emery brought the group to visit the place. After all, they had just gone through a rather exhausting incident.

Emery therefore thought that it might be best for them to calm down and settle for a drink or two first before moving on with their next business.

On top of that, he also wanted to meet someone.

As soon as the group walked into a bar-like place within the guild building, Emery and the other two chose a table and quickly sat down. Meanwhile, a person whose skin was red and had two horns on their face recognized him as soon as he entered.

"Emery! How are you doing? It's been a while!"

Emery smiled at the man who approached him. He was none other than Aeon, the magus guild staff who had been helping Emery since his first year at the Magus Academy.

"Hello, Aeon. I'm good." replied Emery. He then introduced his two companions. "Let me introduce you to them. This is Klea, and this is Magus Shena."

"Yes yes, nice to meet you two, miss." Aeon said after looking at Emery with a certain smile. Then, a look of admiration appeared on his face. "I really can't imagine what the future holds. It has only been five years, but the clueless kid back then had unexpectedly become a famous top-ranking acolyte. Absolutely amazing!"

Emery could only smile modestly as he accepted the compliment. After their brief chat to catch up, he then asked Aeon for food and drink for the two ladies accompanying him.

The man came back a few minutes later with a tray full of food and drink.

"Here they are! Enjoy!"

While eating their lunch, Emery told Klea about the first time he met Aeon and how the latter took them to the dark planet Furia. He went on to recount his experiences and what happened during the trip.

"Hey, that sounds like a great place to check out!" Klea said, clearly interested after hearing what Emery had to say to her about the planet.

But then, Magus Shena who had been enjoying her food suddenly said. "That's true. But unfortunately, Furia is no longer accessible for us, or rather, the Magus Alliance."

Those words disappointed Klea, and took Emery by surprise. He was curious about the reason.

Accidentally overhearing the conversation as he walked by their table, Aeon took over Magus Shena and filled in the missing information about the matter.

It turned out that, ever since the war with elves escalated, some area within the outer ring of the galaxies the Magus Alliance held control of were having a lot of issues, especially shady planets like Furia.

Apparently, it was something about a local warlord taking control of the planet and deciding to ally with the elves. As if that wasn't bad enough, the warlord also went ahead and forbade all the Magus Alliance's officials and personnel from entering, to the point of capturing them on sight.

When they finally finished their meal. Emery decided to check the spells that were in the magus guild's inventory.

Looking at the main screen, Emery decided to check out the low-tier light elemental spells that were available for purchase.

[Blind - Tier 1 Light spell - 100 spirit stones]

Creates a short burst of piercing bright light which serves to blind the enemy vision.

[Illuminate - Tier 1 Light spell - 100 spirit stones]

[Healing Ray - Tier 2 Light spell - 1000 spirit stones]

A ray of Light that heals minor wounds.

[Light Missile - Tier 2 Light spell - 1000 spirit stones]

[Telekinesis - Tier 2 Light spell - 1000 spirit stone]

Ability to control objects based on user desire and energy reserve.

[Bright Shield - Tier 2 Light spell - 1000 spirit stone]

Creates a small Light element barrier to withstand enemy attack.

[Blessed - Tier 3 Light spell - 3000 spirit stone]

Increases the body resistance and augments ally's attack power with Light element.

[Smite - Tier 3 Light spell - 3000 spirit stone]

An area-of-effect attack that destroy and repel the enemy

As Emery browsed the list and went through every spell, he get a glance of how the spell works.

In his eyes, all the low-tier light spells listed looked interesting. On top of that, they were not expensive to buy at all.

However, Emery was sure that none of these spells – whether offensive, restoration, or defensive – were better than the ones he currently had. Hence if he bought it, he probably wouldn't use them at all.

Hearing the reason for his hesitation to purchase the spell, Klea said" No, Emery. That kind of thinking is wrong." She added, "At your current strength, you don't buy and learn spells to actually cast them or use them for combat. It's for furthering your understanding of the elements you have affinity for."

Hearing that, the Dragon magus chuckled and said, "I was just about to say that. You should really listen to the girl kiddo"

Klea went on and reminded Emery that while these spells would not bring about a drastic increase in his power, each one was like a certain combination of formulas which could help enrich his palette of spells.

"You should buy and learn all of them, especially since they are all light element spells"
