Earth's Greatest Magus

As soon as the huge pitch-black battleship came out of the sky and made its existence known to everyone, it began firing the dozen cannons mounted on its body.

Kaboommm Kaaabommm Kabooom

Numerous explosions occurred in the air above the arena as the shells hit some of the dark elf magus who were fighting in the sky of the academy, creating an enormous white smoke that encompassed the entirety of the vast expanse.

What happened next was the appearance of thousands of figures from behind the plumes of smoke. More than three thousand battleborn veterans announced their arrival with deafening battlecries; alongside them were three dozen magus level fighters, as they dove straight into the arena.

From below, Emery could see the battle commander, Lord Izta leading the legion himself. Right beside him were the gallant figures of his three wives as together they vigorously soared onto the battlefield.

He was glad Thrax had successfully convinced the Combat Magus to come and help, leaving his designated position. Unfortunately he couldn't see his Thracians friend among the group of warriors.

At this stage, the battlefield had expanded from within the boundary of the arena, to the various structures outside of the Grand Assembly Hall.

Tens of Thousands of civilians rushed out of the arena, all headed toward the teleportation gate only to realize that the gate was disabled. Seeing this, they all panicked and ran, trampling many to death in the process.

At this point, the battle had become an all-out war; an uncontainable one where thousands of civilians would die every second that passed.

Seeing such a sight, Emery decided to cast [Spatial Gate] and conjure a large gate to a location at the far end of the academy, away from all the fighting. A gate of this scale would surely tire him out, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

"This way! Come this way! Hurry!!" He shouted with all his might, attracting the attention of the nearby civilians.

As he focused on maintaining the spell, Emery's Jade Warriors and the three top acolytes helped him stop any incoming elves, both from reaching him and injuring more civilians who were rushing towards the swirling portal.

While the gate Emery conjured was akin to a beacon of life for these helpless civilians, at the same time the eye-catching portal attracted the attention of a group of dark elf magus.

Immediately, five moved together charging towards their location. Olivier, Eeshoo, and Atlas managed to stop one each, but the remaining two were let loose as they cruised past the three without a hitch.

Emery and the civilians were left with only his summons and several academy guards and acolytes who were around to help.

Ominous dark flames and gleaming sharp metals were unleashed by the two dark elf magus, killing dozens of civilians with each strike. The saint-level guards and acolytes tried to stop the two of them, but were unable to do so.

Unable to let go of the channeling of his Spatial Gate, Emery could only helplessly watch the carnage as it unfolded. His heart throbbed in pain as his eyes saw and his ears heard the people's cries of pain.

There was one magus individual – a spectator of the tournament – who decided to help. But in just a few seconds, the unknown magus was pinned down by the two dark elf and killed instantly. Immediately after, the two of them shot at Emery with apparent killing intent.

[Repulsion]

Knowing that he couldn't afford to move from his current position without breaking his concentration on the spatial gate, Emery did the best he could do with his status quo.

The gravity spell unleashed a powerful repelling force, yet it could only send the two magus several meters back before they laughed at him and prepared to shoot toward him once more. As if that wasn't bad enough, out of the corner of his eye Emery could see Atlas being smashed to the ground by his opponent.

"Kill him!"

The two of them had barely taken a few steps when thick white roots suddenly shot out from the ground and caught their feet. They immediately tried to shake it off, but their efforts were in vain as those roots crawled all the way onto their chests in no time.

Emery was relieved to see the white roots and the arrival of the figure of an old man: Grand Magus Yvere had come to their aid.

With a slight movement of his hand, the other four dark elf magus were quickly attacked by white roots that emerged from their surroundings. It didn't take long for them to be completely restrained, whereby every bone in their bodies were crushed by the immense pressure from the roots.

After incapacitating them, the white roots released the magus, at which point Olivier, Eeshoo and Atlas quickly moved to finish them off.

"Thank you for saving our lives, Elder." Emery said to the grand magus figure.

However the old grand magus gave an unexpected reply. "I'm here because I need your help."

Emery was caught off guard; he was surprised to hear that such a figure said he needed his help.

"You are the only space and gravity caster I can find right now, hurry follow me"

Grand Magus Yvere waved his hand to create a floating white wooden boat and swiftly beckoned Emery to jump in. He then also glanced at the other three, signaling them to come as well.

Without asking for an explanation, the three quickly jumped in and they immediately felt their bodies being pulled back as the floating wooden boat shot to a particular corner of the Magus Academy, towards a structure situated on one of the tallest buildings, the Hall of Aspire.

"As expected, she's here." Said Grand Magus Yvere staring at their destination.

As they drew closer to the building, from afar Emery could see and feel a familiar figure staring at him from the large window of said structure. It was someone he had always feared, Grand Magus Zenonia of the Darkness Institute.

However, before he could calm his erratic heartbeat from seeing the female grand magus, Grand Magus Yvere suddenly did a shocking thing. The elderly man handed the precious Headmaster Staff into his hands.

Ignoring the shocked look Emery gave him, the grand magus calmly spoke.

"With this as the key, use the amplifier artifact in that place to reverse the recall spell, bring back the acolytes and send the elves away"
