Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Chapter 1614  Diversion

"Reporting! Target detected! 3 individuals moving to the depths of the forests!"

Hearing that, Cyrus, the Raven faction master, felt infuriated and said "Three?? I had sent Ante and three others to chase the two of them. How come there are three now!?" as he looked through the wide window of the Interceptor-class spaceship.

"Fucking useless!! Get closer to the woods, I will handle them myself!"

The Interceptor-class ship that hovered above the forest opened its rear door. At the door gate there stood the Full Moon magus, already on one's feet and ready to jump out. Following right behind him were two of his elite guards, both of which Half Moon magus.

However, as he was about to jump off to the ground, he saw a flame swiftly burn out the forest and cause thick clouds of smoke to appear, obscuring his vision. It was obvious that his target was trying to hide or even escape with the help of the smoke.

"Huh! What a cheap trick!!" The Raven faction master smirked as he slowly floated out into the air and used his spirit reading to sense the movement of his targets within the smoke.

His eyebrow raised slightly when he unexpectedly found nothing.

"So, it seems like they have some sort of items to conceal their spirit energy, but it's a mistake to think they can hide from me!"

The Full Moon magus raised his two arms, ready to cast a spell. A moment later, lightning started to spark on his palms which then became a massive chain lighting that swiftly razed the forest.

Even though the lightning spell led the forest to be engulfed in even greater flames, it also managed to let him detect the presence of his target.

"They are heading to the north!!" He shouted.

The moment the two Half Moon magus heard the cue, they immediately jumped off the ship and flew toward Emery and the others swiftly.

"Argh!"

Emery grimaced in agony as he was struck by one of the Full Moon magus's chain lightning. Although it didn't hurt him too much, it was enough to get him sighted by the magus flying in the air.

Running as fast as he possibly could, Emery continued to try to escape from the magus toward the north as fast as possible.

He could sense the multiple magus chasing after him. Alas, even with his current top speed, it only took a full minute for them to finally get close enough to Emery and manage to shoot a spell towards him.

BAAAMMM!!!!

The blast missed, but the aftermath was massive enough to knock him to the side, allowing the group of Raven magus to catch up to him.

Emery's vision turned blank for a second as a result of the explosion. As he turned around to see the situation, he saw two male figures with similar features, a good-looking twin that looked almost like women was already standing in front of him.

Each of them has a spark of lighting on their feet and short curve sabers on each hand. From their equipment, it was quite obvious that both of them were fighters specialized in speed.

In spite of that, both of them and his current situation didn't make Emery feel cornered. Instead, his eyes were roaming around, looking for the third figure – their master. Unfortunately, the man was nowhere to be seen.

"Stop looking around! Our master would not be fooled by the likes of you!"

Hearing that, Emery was a little disappointed and said, "So, it is just the two of you then."

The two magus seemed a little bit confused hearing Emery's words. Considering their target has been cornered, how come such words came from his mouth?

"What are you going to do?" asked the Raven magus.

#####

As the Raven Master sent his two guards to chase after the lone escaping figure, he in fact kept his sense open. Because of that, he managed to sense another movement under the ground, one that was heading south instead.

"Huh!! Found you!!"

He quickly headed to the opposite direction of his men, and chased after another target by himself through the flaming forest and thick smoke.

As he got closer to the trembling ground, he quickly cast [Thunder Orb] spell and threw it into the ground, which then created a massive explosion.

KABOOMMM!!!!

There was a huge crater created by the blast and a big lump of dust floating into the sky. When the dust dissipated, Cyrus hovered down to get closer to the ground, feeling confident to finally catch the target.

To his surprise, he did not found the target he was looking for. Instead, there was only some kind of stone golem which was obviously created as a diversion.

Feeling irritated, the Full Moon magus flew up into the sky once again to search his prey thoroughly.

It was at this moment that he heard a clashing noise. From its sound, it seems the fight occurred not from the two men on the other side of the forest. It was on the spaceship.

"Fuck!! You dare!!!"

Realizing that he had been fooled, the Full Moon magus flew swiftly at a high speed, making his way to the spaceship to confront the fight. Unfortunately, before he could finally reach the spaceship, it had dashed away and disappeared from his sight.

"You BASTARD!!!"

diversion, Armand and Tessa then swiftly went out their hiding spot and dashed toward the spaceship through the thick smoke, The plan was to distract the Raven Magus, keeping him busy and then steal the spaceship. It was indeed risky to hide under the flames and hoping to dodge the lightning spark. However, the plan was worth the risk. Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in ɴovel(F)ɪre

As the Full Moon magus has chased the stone golem decoy as diversion, Armand and Tessa then swiftly went out their hiding spot and dashed toward the spaceship through the thick smoke, infiltrated it, and quickly disabled each of the magus waiting on the spaceship.

"Quickly, go!!" Armand shouted urgently, telling the woman to drive the ship away.

Flying the spaceship at top speed was the only chance they got to flee from Cyrus. Hence when they finally managed to get the ship to run at full speed, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.

"What about your friend.." asked Tessa.

"He's not my friend, and yeah just leave him be!"

It was only a minute they had flown with the stolen spaceship, when suddenly to their surprise the ship shook violently. It seemed that something had crashed into the body of the spaceship.

"No! It is impossible! What is it??"

It was Cyrus, the master of the Raven faction who caught up to them.
