Earth's Greatest Magus

In the past, Emery would not have been able to force teleport anyone without excruciating pain coursing through his core. Now, thanks to the tremendous boost to his comprehension of the Law of Space, all ten magus were sent a hundred miles away without much trouble.

On the other hand, Emery's sudden arrival brought a shock to the elf grand magus and the group of acolytes. As both parties realized his identity, the former showed a deep frown while the latter lit up in excitement â€" especially those who knew him personally.

"A magus! A Half Moon magus?!" Jinkan shouted with apparent disbelief in her voice.

Evidently, those who knew Emery and who he was were incredibly shocked when they saw what he had just done. Seeing how effortlessly he sent the magus away, they couldn't help but be amazed by the power he revealed.

Emery had his eyes fixated on the dark elf grand magus. While maintaining his vigilance to the maximum, he threw a brief glance at the dozen acolytes on the ground.

His gaze lingered until he finally scanned upon two particular people. Both were a fiure dear to him: Klea and Chumo, the latter of whom had his whole body propped against her.

Even though he was concerned about his Asian friend's condition, a strong wave of relief washed over his mind when he saw that the two of them were still alive. Even so, Emery did not dare to relax as he knew they were not out of danger yet.

Thanks to the incredible increase in his strength, Emery's spirit reading had been strengthened by a dozen times. With just a slight sweep, he could see everything within a thousand miles around him as if he was there in person, allowing him to easily perceive all possible threats coming his way.

Despite being confident in his current strength, Emery still wore a deep frown on his face at the sight of the entire situation.

From the dark elf grand magus, who had prepared to fight him, and the tens of elven fighter ships flying back to their location, to the other groups of dark elf magus that were currently sweeping the entire area while heading their way.

However, most troubling of all â€" what made Emery furrow his brows deeply â€" was the fact that the massive elven flagship that was hovering above the compound started to move, heading in their direction.

It meant Emery only had a few minutes before it became impossible to save his friends.

It was at this moment that the dark elf grand magus voices interrupted his thought.

"A young magus with such a high understanding of the laws of space. Who are you?! I never heard of you!"

Since Emery knew there was barely any time for them to escape, he would rather not waste it answering the dark elf grand magus' question, instead he swiftly raised his arm and cast the teleportation spell at the grand magus.

Caught off guard by Emery's action, the dark elf magus was instantly engulfed by the spatial distortions. Although Emery knew the current him would not have the power to forcibly send away someone of the latter's stature, he was still strong enough to restrain the grand magus' movements.

"Urgrhhh! How dare you!!"

Ignoring the other party's indignant roar, Emery opened a Spatial Space with his other free hand and brought out the two plant creatures he kept inside. Emery then used his [One Mind] skill to sense the other three for one single purpose.

To gather all the acolytes around.

Kuang! Ku ku!

With the help of the plant creatures, Emery was able to track all the acolytes and teleport them back. It was an evolution to his [spatial gate]. Using multiple small spatial gates he manages to instantly move these individuals through space.

Before long, numerous brilliant lights appeared in the surrounding area, revealing the previously scattered acolytes in the flesh.

It didn't take long for Emery to finish. He gathered all two dozen of them, apart from those who were left behind in the compound and Silva, who was currently wreaking havoc in her beast form, as her current form was not just big, but it was in battle, making it much harder to be teleported.

Emery, however, could wait no longer. A bell rang loudly in his mind as he sensed the enemy was about to arrive at their location. Not only that, the dark elf grand magus managed to break free from his shackles much quicker than expected.

"That was an amusing trick, but don't think you can escape from here!"

Saying those words, the dark elf grand magus swept his hand in the air. In an instant, dozens of dark spheres materialized in the air. With another sweep, they swiftly shot through the air, heading for him and his acolytes on the ground.

[Aegis of Void]

KABOOM! KABOOM!

Powerful explosions engulfed the barrier that isolated Emery and the others from the outside world. His acolytes widened their eyes in shock when they saw their visions completely covered by devastation for a moment.

Fortunately, the barrier Emery created was large and strong enough to withstand the attacks of the dark elf grand magus. But at the same time, it would be difficult for Emery to cast a spell to let them escape.

Just as Emery was about to think how they could get out of their predicament, he was alarmed when he noticed another movement. It was undetectable through the spirit reading, but he could see a small cloud of dark smoke creeping into and slipping down the dark elf's back.

As the smoke gradually turned into a distinct form, Emery inwardly heaved a sigh of relief to know who it was.

Headmaster Delbrand had arrived and quickly enveloped the dark elf grand magus inside his cloud of smoke. Immediately after, Emery could hear the former's voice resounding in his mind.

"Get them out of here!"

Not wanting to waste the precious opportunity presented to him, Emery quickly created a portal, which would appear at a place four hundred miles south, where the Wolf Patriarch left his spaceship.

This way, they would have a better chance of escaping with the vest they were wearing in case something went wrong. After all, there were some acolytes who didn't have them at the moment. Either way, the further they were from this place the better.

"Go! Now!"

Arcana was the first to enter the portal Emery created and was quickly followed by Jai Strider, who brought the unconscious acolytes with him. It was only then that the other acolytes woke from their stupor and promptly followed suit.

As he watched the acolytes flock into the portal, Emery saw Jinkan approaching him. The proud Nephilim Princess bowed her head towards him, begging him to find and save her fiance.

Unfortunately, Emery could not promise to fulfill her request.

Understanding the reality of the situation, Jinkan heaved a deep sigh and nodded her head before reclaiming her composure and stepping into the swirling portal without saying another word.

With her departure, there was only one person left. Two, actually.

"Let's go, Emery." Klea said as she carried Chumo on his back. "Let's return home."

However, to her confusion, Emery did not move from his place. Looking her in the eye, he said calmly, "Klea, I need you to take them with you."

Emery was referring to none other than Twik and the four Chizpur brothers. And sure enough, she immediately became anxious at those words.

"W-Why? What... are you planning?! Don't you listen to that Nephilim bitch! We... we don't need to do what she asks!"

Hearing her words, Emery just shook his head. "I need you to leave now. There are still things to do."

"No. I don't understand! Tell me Why!?" Klea hysterically screamed before suddenly falling silent. Raising her head a moment later, she gazed at him and said blankly, "It's that girl, isn't it? That snake girl. You want to save her, you are staying for her!!"

The silence that Emery adopted only made Klea rage even more. "You... You promised me, remember?! You promised that between me and her, you would always choose me!"

Instead of answering, Emery stepped forward and brought the girl into his embrace, "Klea... Please don't misunderstand." He said, stroking her head gently, "It's always been you, I love you"

The words Emery spoke made her anger stop, but then it made her anxiety grow even more.

Emery pulled himself away for a little and before she could say anything, he put his hand on her cheek and kissed her softly before saying.

"Please... I really need you to leave now."

Klea held him tight, returning his kiss and said one thing she thought she could never say, "I... don't care what you plan to do with her. Just make sure to come back to me alive."

After saying those words, she turned around and rushed into the portal.
