Earth's Greatest Magus

Someone they knew had died in Klea's arm and there would no doubt be many more to follow her unfortunate fate if they couldn't get out of this strange space.

Both Anas and Sigurd quickly jumped to Klea's side, as she closed Aiko's eyes and let go of her body onto the desert sand.

"What should we do now?!" Anas asked hysterically, looking frightened by the situation. His usual noble charm was completely nowhere to be seen, as his survival instincts screamed how dangerous the predicament they find themselves in.

On the contrary, Sigurd the Titan bloodline showed a different reaction than the Kaleos noble. Being surrounded by strong enemies in a life and death fight sparked untold rage within him, which he used to bring his battle power to another height.

He swung the two huge axes in his hand around, ready to respond if there was another attack by the four magus surrounding them.

Meanwhile, Klea stood up from her kneeling position, her eyes flashed a determined glint. She threw some bronze coins on the ground and started reciting a chant. The coins began to give off a brilliant glow as she said,

"Hold them off for one minute."

Hearing those words and understanding their situation, Anas slapped his cheeks as he forced himself out of his fear. He then quickly took out and consumed a pill before taking out a dozen of flying weapons. Despite the trace of fear in his eyes, he looked at the group of magus and shouted, "Sigurd, you heard the lady!"

"I'm ready!" was the response from the large burly man, as white smoke began coming out of his body and glowing striking blue tattoos manifesting all over his skin.

On the other hand, the battle between the two grand magus still seemed like it would never end. In fact, it only became more devastating when a massive thunderstorm clashed with numerous dark energy blasts over the vast expanse of the desert, creating a series of sandstorms that engulfed the terrain.

"What the hell exactly is your plan, Zenonia?! Your space and gravity power are not enough to activate this artifact! No!" shouted Magister Griffith as he dashed and struck his sword towards the female grand magus.

Bammm! Bammm!

However, there was no response from his opponent. The female grand magus didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything. She completely ignored the magister as she continued to cast spells, throwing powerful attacks at him.

[Dimensional Edge]

The sky seemed to be torn in two as a powerful slash that seemingly capable of cutting through the fabric of space manifested in reality. Each slash, although parried perfectly by the magister's thunder sword, still managed to send him reeling back a step.

A grimace could be heard as Magister Griffith took another step back receiving his opponent's attack. "Urgh! I can see that it's true, you have reached the peak of the second cosmos!"

This statement of his unexpectedly earned a response from the female grand magus.

"You talk too much!"

With a simple gesture of her hand, Magister Griffith was bombarded with an even more relentless wave of attacks. Deadly energy slashes and gravity bombs flew throughout the sky seemingly without care. Knowing he was gradually being pushed into the corner, the magister threw his most powerful spell.

[Absolute Tempest]

The vast expanse of yellow sand was quickly embroiled in a massive body of storm. The horde of deafening lightning that looked like huge serpents of destruction charged towards the female great magus, aiming to strike her down from the sky.

At the same time as the magister's trump card wreaked havoc, the formation of Klea's [Elemental Formation] was finally completed. As it performed its extraordinary wonder, Anas and Sigurd were akin to fish in the ocean as they fought within its boundary, helped by the multiple elements under her control.

As they fought within the formation, the two of them would be helped no matter what dangerous situation they found themselves in. An ice wall would abruptly rise and block an attack that would wound them, gusts of wind pushed their bodies in harmony as bodies of water shrouded their presences and created distractions, and their attacks were accompanied by strikes of purple lightning.

The sight awed as well as dumbfounded the people they were fighting against.

"What the fuck! Are these kids really Rank 9 acolytes?!"

The four magus moved around relentlessly, attacking the three acolytes without stopping and with the intent to kill, yet even until this point they only managed to inflict some wounds which didn't amount to much.

"This is embarrassing!"

"To think that these little acolytes could hold us, the Night's Coven, down like this."

Right after saying those words, the magus took off the cloaks that were covering their faces, but before the group of three could see their facial features, the figures of all four started transforming.

Their skin became pale akin to a corpse, their eyes turned blood red, while their ears grew longer and their fingers became as sharp as blades. Seeing such a sight, it was confirmed that the four magus were all half-blood hailing from the Bat bloodline. Their transformation could only mean bad things for Klea and the other two.

With the power they received from their transformation, Klea's formation was barely effective against the four magus. At the same time, Sigurd, who had been the one handling most of the attacks, was riddled with wounds, completely covered with blood, that her healing magic was no longer as effective on him.

[Soul Shaker]

Despite his critical condition, the Titan bloodline still gave everything he got. Yet his mortal situation quickly caught onto him as he soon found himself in his last breath after receiving another wave of attacks from the four magus.

When the defense was broken, the next target was naturally the two long-range fighters right behind him.

"Klea, watch out!"

"Arrghhh!"

The terrified Anas courageously put his own body in the path of the half-blood magus, shielding Klea from the impending harm. Fortunately, the Kaleos noble was wearing a lifesaving item given by his faction, which instantly activated and pushed the magus back.

"Urrgh, stand behind me!!!" Anas shouted with a grimace, before he received another blow. This time, right in his chest.

Prrankkkk!

A loud sound akin to breaking glass reverberated through the air as the second life-saving item of the Kaleos noble was destroyed. This time, however, the magus' attack managed to seep through and cause Anas to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Klea immediately tried to counter attack with her spell, throwing numerous [Wind Shard] at the magus. Alas, since they already knew about her spell, the four of them just chose not to parry the incoming spells and instead ran around in circles, laughing at their coming demise.

At the same time, the grand magus battle seemed to have reached its climax. To Klea's complete surprise, she saw the figure of Magister Griffith fall from the sky and crash like a meteor into the rocky mountain seen in nearby distance.

Klea stood alone amongst the enemy, thinking of ways to escape this disaster.
