Earth's Greatest Magus

Isolated from the outside world, Emery had spent more than two days wholeheartedly concentrating his focus on his training in the huge asteroids that orbited on top of the Hyperion planet.

With his polished Spirit Reading, Emery could sense the entirety of the asteroid he was currently in as well as the gravity force that influenced its orbit.

The gravity force of the Hyperion planet exerted a downward force on the asteroid, pulling it down to the ground. Meanwhile, the gravity force from outer space did the exact opposite, applying an upward force.

The two opposing forces worked together in harmony, acting as a glue that held the asteroid in its predetermined orbit. And most likely, if Emery could sense it further, he believed everything was connected from the planet to the sun, even beyond.

It was both an amazing and terrifying force.

After comprehending the two forces, Emery began to feel the undulating waves of gravity that profusely flowed in space, affecting all three-dimensional mass, which was affecting all things.

When one could influence the flickering of fire or one could change the direction of the stream of water, with his current proficiency in the Law of Gravity, Emery began to touch upon the flow of gravity within space around him.

Just like a rock thrown into a small stream, his finger brought the unceasing float to a halt. He then began to manipulate the mystifying force and split its current in two, changing the inherent pressure of the space and changing the weight of its force.

[You have gained comprehension in gravity]

[Spirit force increased]

[You have gained comprehension in space]

[Spirit force increased]

Notifications telling of his increasing number of spirit forces relentlessly popped into his mind, building up as several hours passed, before eventually reaching into a bottleneck and coming to a grinding halt.

[Spirit force: 1800]

With the addition of what was left of the spirit energy mist he devoured and absorbed, Emery had finally managed to reach the spirit force milestone needed to make a breakthrough to the next level.

A powerful tremor was felt on the dark core foundation as a tendril-like energy emerged from its surface like a flare. Just like before, this small dark tendril contained all of the comprehension of the Law of Space and Gravity that Emery had accumulated so far.

[The fifteen pillars was formed - Darkness Element]

This phenomenon was soon followed by his second core becoming embroiled in pain, as it looked for ways to deal with his newfound power that broke the fragile state of equilibrium between the two cores.

Fortunately enough, this time Emery had come prepared. He gathered all the comprehension and understanding he gained in his two-week stay at the Light Institute, from sitting for days in front of the Light origin stone.

However, the light element proved to be not as simple as his other nature element. During the process, he instinctively knew that what he currently had was not enough.

The time he spent learning at the Light Institute taught him that he would need the power of divine artifacts to support him on this endeavor, and thus he quickly brought out everything he had.

A Tier 4 [Light Staff], the Lightsaber and the advanced Lightsaber he bought at the auction, and lastly his dear buddy Twik.

Staring at his first creation, Emery spoke amidst gasping breaths and excruciating pain that wreaked havoc throughout his entire body.

"Help me, will you, buddy?"

Nodding its small head, Twik swiftly put both of its arms on Emery's body and immediately he could feel light spirit energy flowing into him.

Alas, just as expected, it was still not enough. Hence  Emery quickly cracked the magic artifact [Light Staff] open and used the tiny divine crystal that was within the artifact to help his predicament.

It quickly turned to ashes the moment it was completely absorbed, but even then it still didn't seem like enough.

"Another one!"

This naturally forced Emery to take extreme measures. His heart ached when he broke the Lightsaber he had just bought and used the same divine crystal within.

Fortunately, it seemed that he didn't need to break his second, advanced Lightsaber as finally, the much-awaited pillar began to form within his realm core, emitting a brilliant light that illuminated the entire foundation.

[The sixteenth pillar was formed - Light Element]

[Spirit force increases exponentially]

[Emery Ambrose]

[Battle power: 282]

[Spirit force: 1810]

[Acolyte rank 9 - Highstage - 16 pillars formed]

[Earth spirit - 3 pillars]

[Plant spirit - 2 pillars]

[light spirit - 2 pillars]

[Water spirit - 1 pillar]

[Darkness spirit - 7 pillars]

[Devour spirit - 1 pillar]

At this moment, Emery felt what was arguably the greatest feeling he had ever experienced. Power coursed through his body, and with a little intend, he was able to naturally manipulate the gravity force in the space around him.

[Anti Gravity]

He successfully cast the spell that would render out the gravity around him and his body began to float.

After letting Twik enter the spatial space once more, Emery flew out of the asteroid and made his way around the place.

He did all this without the need of his [Lightwing] spell or his orbiter devices, only by manipulating the flow of gravity force within space. Akin to swimming against the current.

He was experiencing what a person who had reached the magus realm was capable of.

"This is amazing.."

Emery then decided to fly down to the planet, as he wanted to learn to adapt to the changes of the gravity force between the two. That said, after entering the planet's atmosphere, he continued to rush across the Hyperion's vast expanse.

"Faster!"

With a thought, Emery found himself accelerating as he sped across the planet's sky. He was relishing the wonderful experience to the fullest when he noticed a familiar figure flew over to him. It was Magus Shena who has been waiting for him.

"Let's see if you can catch me senior!'

Saying those words, Emery cast [Lightwing] which further increased his speed. At this point, he moved at a speed that was even faster than riding an orbiter, but unfortunately still not fast enough to escape the peak stage magus following him.

Emery stops and proudly shows his progress in the gravity spell.

"Yes, that's indeed amazing. But do you realize what day it is now?"

Hearing those words, Emery accessed his privileged bracelet and was surprised to see what day today was. The breakthroughs and the new spells had made him completely forget about the ongoing tournament.

"Dammit! Full speed, back to the Magus Academy!"
