Earth's Greatest Magus

"Little girl, you have the power of Khaos within you already, go and interact with the door. With some luck, the master will grant your wishes."

"Luck?!" Morgana replied with confusion.

Killgragah eyed the red-haired girl with a deadpan look before saying, "Of course. Why do you think the master will help you? You have not accepted the legacy of Khaos and become its champion. In fact, the Master might even decide to kill you right away when you enter."

Once again, the dragon spoke out words she didn't like in the least.

It had been three years since Killgragah had offered and tempted her to accept the Khaos legacy, but she refused and still continued to stand by her decision to this day. She was adamant she would not decide anything until Emery had a say in this.

Killgragah continued saying, "You must know that, even if the Master does decide to grant your wish, it will only be a one-way journey."

The red-haired girl was silent hearing those words. At the same time, the dragon also revealed his concern of her not returning. Because if that was indeed the case, the dragon would be trapped in this place for much longer.

At those words, Morgana fell into contemplation. She was ready to take any risk for Emery's sake. However, she was reminded of her sisters in the village, who would be left behind. After a moment, she turned to the dragon with conviction, "I will definitely come back and I will bring your champion back home."

Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to take the tube with her. Since she really didn't know what kind of fate awaited her after stepping through the door, Morgana came to the conclusion it was better to leave the body here on Earth.

Now that her decision was made, she extended a hand towards the stone door without hesitation. The moment her finger touched the cold surface, she saw her body being sucked in slowly and found herself standing among a black sea of stars.

"T-This… this is the night sky…"

Seeing what she had only seen from afar right before her eyes was both an extraordinary and terrifying experience for Morgana.

As she was blown away by the sight, Morgana's face changed when she sensed it – a powerful entity, a billows of gray clouds gathering in her line of sight, a single light beaming down at her, staring at her.

No words were spoken, but she instantly felt something probing into her, then a message came into her mind.

"Master of space, Ruler of darkness. The universe within grasp, seek what you desire."

A thought of Emery appeared in her mind and moments after, along with her spirit core being ecstatic, the entire space shook violently and the stars moved rapidly—no, she was actually the one moving.

Her head was spinning violently before a hole appeared, sucking her inside without her being able to do anything. The next thing she knew, she was standing in the middle of an unfamiliar forest.

"That's all I know and here I am now." Morgana said to Emery, ending her story with a wry smile.

Emery remembered seeing a glimpse of the huge dragon in his memory, but other than that, all the things the red-haired girl had said were completely foreign to him. She also told him about what she knew of how his body got to Earth.

"Your other girlfriend brought it home, that queen… Kleopatra."

It was clear her words were sarcastic, but Emery couldn't care about her attitude. The instant he heard that name, he could feel his heart stop beating for a second. There was no doubt this Kleopatra was someone important to him.

The red-haired girl interrupted his thoughts, "Alright! Now that you know what happened, let's go back home!"

Turning and looking into her eyes, Emery took a deep breath and said, "You have given me another reason to get back home, but things are not that simple. What's more, my current circumstances don't allow me to go right now."

Even though he couldn't return as soon as Morgana wanted, it didn't mean her efforts were in vain. The news she brought him, regarding the existence of his other soul, was the best thing Emery had heard since his awakening. It gave him hope he would be able to regain his original powers back.

But at the moment, Emery's mind was focused on resolving Silva's condition. He needed to ensure he could obtain the [Ancient Wolf Blood]. With the Royal Hunt taking place in less than two months, he really had to put his full mind to the event.

Emery looked at Morgana, who was standing in front of him with a smile that strangely made the red-haired girl anxious, and said, "Now that you're here, we definitely have a better chance of winning."

After informing Morgana of his current situation – his memory loss state and his goals, Emery took Morgana out of the Corvin estate. Since the place where he lived was near the Apothecary Center, he decided not to go home, instead he took her to the market.

"You didn't bring anything with you, did you? Let's get you settled in."

Emery bought her a storage ring and an information bracelet, so she could understand and talk to the locals. As for identification, Emery would need to ask the Ourobors spy to make one for her later.

When he asked what else she needed, he saw her staring at the row of food stalls with desire evident on her face.

As it turned out, the girl had been living on the elven lembas bread for the past three years inside the Khaos space, now everything else appeared tempting for her.

Morgana walked between the food stalls and forced Emery to buy each and every one of them: meat fried in sticks, grilled purple vegetables, something that looks like a potato and finally a meat pie.

At this moment, it was as if the history of the two strolling down Venta town was repeating itself. The difference this time, she did not just experience life outside the Fey Forest, but on a completely different planet.

"Let's see the aisle on the other side!" Morgana was excited and rushed right away.

Probably, the idea of living here with him on a wolf-blood planet, where they weren't discriminated against, could be a good change. Perhaps it was even good enough for Morgana to forget about her promise to return back to Earth.
