Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel



Other than finding out the situation of his bloodline, what Emery was most interested in was a way to resolve the issue regarding his magus core, which at this point was starting to frustrate him. 

The fact he was still unable to cast high-tier nature element spells and, worst of all, lost dark core, were undoubtedly the reason as to why he couldn't display strength on par with his former self. So he was really hoping to find a solution.

Now that he basically had the backing of the Alpha King, Emery would naturally make full use of the group of experts that had been provided to assist him. Who knows, he might be able to come up with an answer that the Orouboros didn't even know or tell him about.

Emery therefore decided to share his condition, regarding the fact he had died and been revived in a clone body, which resulted in his current weak state of a Magus. He hoped that, with their years of experience and extensive knowledge, these people could give him an idea of ​​what was causing his condition.

Of course, he spoke all these things without giving them any context as to where or who helped him make such a thing possible.

Being the only facility on the planet and considered the best among all wolf half-blood facilities, the Apex facility had been the one doing the revival procedure for most of the wolf half-blood magus who had died, integrating their spirit soul into the clone body. 

Hence, those experts didn't seem to have any reaction to Emery's words as it was a fairly common situation that they had to go through on a daily basis.

The chief researcher of the Apex facility, an elderly man called Grandmaster Reikun, was the one who answered Emery's questions.

"It always takes some time for a Magus' Spirit Soul to adjust to and get used to a new body, especially for us bloodline descendants. In your case, you also have a rather special Nature core integrated into your Soul, so it shouldn't be too strange for you to take more time."

"More time? How long exactly?" Emery asked politely, desperate for an answer.

The man seemed to think about the answer to the question before saying, "It really depends on how damaged your soul is. From what I can deduce from your story, being weeks away out of your body… I will assume the worst and say it's at a critical stage, so I'm thinking ten to twenty years."

As it turned out, the answer he received was pretty much the same as that given by the Ouroboros faction. At this moment, Emery finally understood Ouroboro's suggestion to contact the Wood Elves, who allegedly had a way to speed up his recovery.

He then asked the next question. "Senior, are there any potions or pills that can help me with this?"

"As far as I know, there is nothing in the apothecary that can resolve your condition. But that doesn't mean there's no hope." Staring at Emery, the grandmaster said, "If you manage to find a grand magus who specializes in soul restoration, you might be able to speed up your recovery."

Seeing his dejected look, he quickly added, "However, if it's just a temporary remedy to stimulate the Magus Core, then there's indeed such a pill."

The Apothecary Grandmaster accessed the information panel he had when he saw the hope in Emery's eyes. A moment later, he showed the latter the picture and name of the pill they were talking about.

[Spirit Explosion Pill - Tier 6]

[Stimulates Spirit core to cast a stronger spell or possibly a higher tier one]

Upon reading the description of the pill, Emery felt it was definitely a very interesting creation. Unfortunately, it was one of those rare Tier 6 pills on the list and cost a staggering 110,000 spirit stones each.

Not only was it expensive for a one-time use item, the pill was also rare in the market because not many Apothecary Masters could concoct it. The same with all the experts from the Apex faction.

"To be honest, the cost of the ingredients compared to the minimal effect it produces makes such a pill very unappealing to create."

Hearing those words, Emery skimmed through the pill's description and made his way to the product review column. After reading it, he realized the effect of the pill seemed to vary for each person.

Nevertheless, as he hopelessly needed something for his condition, Emery decided to purchase three pills. 

Unfortunately, since it was not a product that could be made by the Apex facility, Emery had to pay for it with his own money. His heart ached at the sight of the total amount he had to pay, but he gritted his teeth and confirmed his purchase.

Thankfully, now that he didn't need to save money to buy Tatyana out of the Red Pagoda, he had spirit stones to spare.

With that, he should now only have to wait a few days before they finally arrived.

Emery then asked the grandmaster about his second problem, which was no less unique. It was none other than the matter of the second soul that had separated from the original soul before he died.

Once again, he asked about the possibility of regaining his former strength.

This question evidently brought about some unusual reactions from those around, as this situation was known to only occur at the Grand Magus level. From the look on their faces, it could be seen they had a hard time believing what Emery was saying.

However, having been ordered by the Alpha King himself to help with Emery's situation, they all suppressed their doubts and tried to answer as best they could.

"If it's been destroyed, then there's no way your current soul will ever be able to regain that power again, since it's basically gone," Grandmaster Reikun explained. "That is why most grand magus are unwilling to separate their Spirit Soul even if they are actually capable of doing so. Because once that part of them is destroyed, it can adversely affect the original soul and permanently weaken their strength."

Nodding his head in understanding, Emery immediately asked another question. 

"What if the soul is not destroyed and still out there somewhere? Can it be reunited with the original soul?"

Unbeknownst to these people, what he asked before was just a prelude to this question that he desperately wanted to know the answer to.

Seeing the expressions on those experts' faces, it was clear this question was even funnier to them. However, Emery said nothing and just waited for someone to answer.

Alas, it looked like his luck had run out. Since none of those present were experts in the field of souls, the answers they could give were basically mere guesses – something they would rather not do.

Of course, it was a letdown that the question was not answered. Nonetheless, Emery tried not to show his disappointment overtly. He kept maintaining his respectful attitude, since he still needed something from them.

"Senior, if it's not too much, I have another request."

Emery told them that he had always been an admirer of the Apothecary and, with not all of his memories returning after his death and subsequent revival, he wished he could be allowed to observe what they were doing and seek guidance with his own recipe.

"Yes, you may."

Emery was therefore given access to his own small workstation in the facility. With that access, he began to browse through his mind, compiling the recipes in his memory as well as the supporting skills needed for them.

[Universal Flora Knowledge - Rank 3]

[Analyze Flora rank- 3]

Recipes:

[Healing paste - Tier 4]

[Strength paste - Tier 4 ]

[Acid potion - Tier 3]

[Cleansing potion - Tier 3]

Of course, the two new potions he had learned for his most recent action were included in the list.

[Concealment potion - Tier 3]

[Salamander Flame - Tier 4]

There were some unique recipes such as the [Gaia Potion] and his self-creation potion [Fey Booster], which he still couldn't make at the moment because they required ingredients from Earth. 

Apart from that, there were still some high-tier potions and pills which were simply too complicated for him to remember.

[Spirit Pool potion - Tier 3] 

[Health Regeneration pill - Tier 4] 

[Reviving pill -Tier 1]

Even if he remembered what their recipes were, without his Apothecary Master skills, Emery wouldn't be able to make them as good as before with higher originality.

Therefore he planned to start spending a few hours every day in this place, making potions and pills to aid his pack members in the upcoming Royal Hunt. Hopefully in the process, he would also manage to regain some of his forgotten skills.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net
