Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Eight magus-level dark elves came out of the elven warship, following right behind were an army of a hundred saint-level elves. The one leading the pack was a peak Full Moon magus, a woman of exotic beauty which was further enhanced by the white crescent tattoo on her forehead.

Contrary to expectations, she didn't join the fray immediately. Hovering high in the sky, she and the other seven magus observed the battle that was taking place on the ground. At this moment, the wolf beast had caught and was devouring one of the dark elf magus.

The female magus frowned when her eyes caught sight of the headless corpse of a dark elf nearby, which she quickly recognized to be Kasin : the person who was in charge of this stargate project.

"What a mess!"

Now that she basically knew most of the situation, not wanting to waste any more time, the decisive commander immediately ordered her men to take control of the situation.

Heeding the order, six Crescent Moon magus descended to the ground surrounding the wolf beast in all directions. Before it could react, powerful auras blared from all of these individuals as they flung huge chains in unison, swiftly shackling the beast's entire body.

"Those chains are strong enough to hold a legendary dragon. So that should do the job.."

True to her words, the six chains that bound the beast put an end to the rampaging beast and completely prohibited it from moving any further. The deafening sound of its furious roar boomed through the air. Despite the ferocious struggle that had exerted all its strength, the beast was still unable to break free from the shackle placed upon it.

However, no matter how threatening the current situation was, Emery's mind was instead focused on the other side of the area. To be exact, his attention was fixed on the metal magus who had decided to run towards Klea.

'Don't you dare hurt her, you bastard!!' Emery shouted loudly, but the only thing that came out of his mouth was an incoherent, indecipherable roar of anger. What's more, even if he wasn't shackled by the chains, Emery would still not be able to do anything since he had no control of his body.

Dust was scattered everywhere as the metal magus streaked across the terrain at high speed towards the entrance of the facility, where a beautiful female acolyte could be seen standing.

When he got closer however, a look of surprise appeared on the magus' face as he saw an arrow shoot toward him. Streams could be seen around it as it flew at breakneck speed, cutting through the air like nothing.

CLANK!!

A piercing sound rang out in the air. The metal golem that stepped forward and stopped the arrow was unexpectedly thrown a few steps back. Cracks were seen on its metal body, as it was pierced through by the arrow.

The magus quickly searched for his assailant, and with his Spirit Reading, he discovered that the arrow was coming from several miles away. Despite originating from such a great distance, the attack still packed serious power and incredible accuracy at that.

His face turned serious when he realized the other party was an adept sharpshooter.

"There is another rat out there!" said the fire magus who was tagging along.

With the arrival of the eight magus, the fire magus decided to make a contribution by capturing the human instead. Not only was the task likely to be easier, he didn't have to fear dying from the terrifying beast anymore.

"You go catch that sneaky rat! Leave the girl to me!"

Since the fire magus was of a higher rank, the metal magus listened to the order obediently and quickly changed his path, dashing into the desert Wasteland towards the location of the person who shot the arrow.

On the other hand, a wicked grin emerged on the fire magus' face as he dashed at the female acolyte. However, as soon as he was closing in, the girl quickly turned around and went back into the facility.

Still, the grin didn't go away. Instead, it got even worse when he was about to enter the facility, as he thought that the prey was within his grasp. But when he finally walked in, a confused look appeared on his face. To his complete surprise, he couldn't pinpoint the girl's location clearly.

The fire magus found himself looking into the three tunnels in front of him, and chose the one with the highest energy reading.

"Hah! You can run but you can't hide forever from me!" He loudly declared.

After running through the underground tunnel he had chosen, the fire magus finally caught a glimpse of what he was looking for. At that moment, a broad smile made its way to his face.

"Found you!"

Without saying a word, the girl fired a powerful lightning spell at him. His face remained calm as he watched the crackling lightning; an attack of this scale was nothing for a magus like him.

However, after he casually blocked the spell, he realized that the girl's figure had already disappeared. An annoyed expression appeared on his face as he continued his pursuit, kicking his speed up a notch.

When he reached the end of the tunnel where the girl had been standing before, the fire magus once again found himself standing in front of another three tunnels. He couldn't help but grow exasperated at such a sight.

"Urgghh! This one!" the man muttered in annoyance while repeating the same actions he did before. After finding out which tunnel, he quickly dashed off.

As he ran towards the second corridor, this time the fire magus found himself faced with a deluge of water charging through the underground tunnel. Again, it couldn't hurt him; but it sure pissed him off.

It was only when he found himself being attacked in the third-round tunnel did the fire magus finally realize that he had entered into a formation. His annoyance reached its peak at this realization.

"Hah! Playtime's over! No more games!

Knowing that the way to break out of the formation was to either pinpoint and decipher the formation core or destroy it with overwhelming force, the fire magus resolutely chose the latter despite the higher difficulty.

Huge waves of scorching flames swiftly appeared, crashing through the three tunnels. It mowed through everything mercilessly, and in fact, completely destroyed the entire upper layer of the facility.

When all the walls turned to ashes and the fire was extinguished, the fire magus then found the girl already high in the sky, standing on top of a huge thunderbird.

"Hahaha, I found you!" He loudly said, a wicked smile plastered on his face as his mind thought of various ways to punish the girl for messing with him.

His daydream didn't last long, however; he was startled when he found the ground he was standing on was shaking violently. Before he could think of anything, he felt an enormous energy emerge from the room under his feet.

"The stargate activated?"

The magus initially thought that the humans would have destroyed the stargate to prevent more elven ships from coming over. Hence knowing it still working could be a good thing.

However, his expression couldn't help but change when he saw a smile on the girl's face as she swiftly flew right into the open portal.

"N-No! No way!!"

While the portal continued to gradually form in the air, the fire magus swiftly shot towards the girl like a fallen comet.

BAM!!!

The magus managed to crash into the girl, but it did not stop her. Gritting her teeth, she pushed forward and entered the portal while accidentally bringing the magus along.

The two passed through the portal and quickly found themselves landing on a stone floor, the surrounding scenery was foreign to the magus. A massive castle sort of construct flew above the clouds and he found himself surrounded by humans.

Realizing where they were, the girl was in great relief and said to the magus "Welcome to the magus academy"
