Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Chapter 1105 Danger

Loud shrieks and rumbling resounded vividly along the range of gray sandy hills.

Unfortunately, this place seemed to have the ability to disrupt any kind of Spirit Reading. At the moment, Emery felt a sensation akin to a blind man, finding it hard to 'see' anything other than what was within his direct sights.

It also didn't help that there was also a formless pressure bearing down upon him in this place. It was about twice as strong as the one he experienced in the previous cave, causing him to be left with only 60% of his usual strength.

The grand magus most likely didn't have such a problem in this place however. Emery watched a wicked smile appear on her face as she said, "I have something else to check, so you two just need to stay alive until I return. Simple, right?"

Emery actually wished to ask what it was that she really wanted him and Zach to learn in this wretched place. But before he could do so, the female Dragon bloodline already took off to the air and flew away to the distant horizon, leaving the two of them in the open free sand plains.

Seeing the figure of the grand magus was no more, Emery glanced at Zach and attempted his question upon the Dragon protege instead.

"Do you know what she wants us to learn here?"

Without turning his face, Zach said, "I know what I need to learn."

Emery couldn't help but sigh inwardly seeing such a response. The Dragon protege was truly stingy in his words and hard to talk with.

Once again, Zach transformed to his Crimson Dark Dragon form. Pulling out the huge sword he always used, his eyes gazed towards the hill range in front of them and he said,

"Prepare to fight."

As if adhering to the words of the Dragon protege, soon enough Emery saw the abundance of gray sand in the hills shifting as if an earthquake struck. From within, several creatures emerged and revealed their appearances..

At first, Emery thought it would be the same spider creature as he looked at the creature's multiple legs and body shape. However, the creature was not only twice as large as the Apex Spider, a long sharp tail and two huge pincers were also visible on its body.

A giant, scorpion-like creature with a gray body that was nearly 10 meters in length.

[Shirke]

[Legendary Beast - Level 85]

[Battle Power - 325]

The creature was a high-level Legendary Beast, which should be comparable to the Naga that took all of Emery's strength to defeat. But in this place, here came a group of them as if they were just ordinary creatures.

Without further ado, Emery used his [Immortal Gate] and [Twilight Transformation] to greatly increase his battle power for the approaching creatures, and at the same time relieve half of the penalty caused by the pressure in this place.

"There's five- Six… seven!!"

Comparing their strength and the obvious difference in numbers, Emery knew they were in trouble. Hence he turned towards the Dragon protégé and spoke in urgency.

"What's the plan now?!"

It seemed that these Shirkes really weren't an easy opponent as the previously calm Zach even looked a little tense as he said, "Just cover my back!" After saying that, the Dragon protege let out a loud warcry and shot forth towards one of the closest.

Raising his sword high to the sky, Zach brought it down and unleashed a strike fueled by powerful battle art. However, instead of the sound of weapons cutting through flesh, a loud sound was heard as his huge sword was blocked by the creature's huge pincers.

CRACCKK!!!

A web of cracks could be seen in the Shirke's pincer, but it was able to stop Zach's attack. Emery's eyes widened when he saw that as it was a sight that was rarely seen before, which meant the creature possessed an overwhelmingly strong defense.

While its pincers stopped Zach's attempt to take its life, the Shrike's long tail curled up like a bow before darting swiftly at him. A streak of gray headed towards Zach's body at breakneck speed.

Clankk!!

Unfortunately for the creature, its retaliation was still not fast enough and the Dragon protege managed to stop the tail. However, at the same time, from a different direction, another creature closed in and attacked.

Shrreeiikkkk!!

It was at this moment that multiple dark green plants burst out from the ground, holding down the creature's feet and body. The next instant, a dozen dark spheres hit the creature like a torrential rain.

[Seed Bomb]

Bam!! Bam! Bam!! Bam!!

Emery came into the fray and supported the Dragon protege with his spells. It wasn't enough to kill the other Shrike, but enough to give Zach time to unleash his other battle arts on the first Shrike, forcibly splitting the creature into two pieces.

Shriek!!!

Hearing its kin's death throes, the six Shrike caught up in the entanglement of Emery's spell struggled violently. They broke free and immediately charged toward the two of them accompanied by furious shrieks.

"Back off!!" Zach said.

Hearing the urgency in his voice, Emery did as asked and teleported away using [Blink]. As for Zach, he kicked the ground with his feet and shot backward. At the same time, he cast his signature spell [Mega Flare].

A moment later, a wave of ferocious flames surged forward and swallowed the charging scorpion horde. Ear-splitting shrieks could be heard from the sea of blazing red. However, these legendary creatures had not died yet.

To Emery's surprise, these creatures managed to dart through the flames that previously could incinerate the Apex Spiders. Nevertheless, they were not unscathed. Most of the shells that protect their bodies were melted by the extreme temperatures.

With Zach standing at the front clashing head-on with the creatures, Emery decided to use his ranged skills to make his contribution. Channeling dark spirit energy into his Savage Sword, he swung the sword and released a wave of dark energy.

[Shadow Edge]

"One more! Another one!" the Dragon protege shouted. "Quick!"

As Zach was occupied with the Shirkes coming from the front, Emery focused his attacks on the two on the far left. The attack struck its target squarely, sending the creatures tumbling back a few meters. However, it was still not enough to inflict heavy injuries.

Zach, on the other hand, began struggling to contain the four high-level Legendary creatures at the same time. The task turned out to be still very difficult for him, and as a result, he started to take a beating.

Despite the fact that wounds were starting to accumulate on his body, the Dragon protege stood bravely undaunted by the storm of attack. As he shouted another warcry, his sword strikes became faster and faster. A certain glow appeared on the blade of his sword, as if he was about to unleash a decisive attack.

However, instead of doing that, he was overwhelmed without mercy and received multiple wounds from the group of Shrikes. Seeing the precarious situation the Dragon protégé was in, Emery shouted loudly.

"We can't fight them like this! We should back off, for now, Zach!"

"No! Never!"

The proud dragon half-blood kept swinging the sword in his hand and eventually managed to kill another creature. But at this moment, a huge tremor suddenly occurred on the ground. The gray hills in the distance seemed to split apart, and from within a gigantic creature emerged.

"Mythical Creature!"
