Earth's Greatest Magus

Shrouded in the veil of night, a group of acolytes could be seen running towards the desert plains on the horizon.

"Where is it?! Where!?"

"Calm down! Can't your special eyes help with these things?" scolded a young woman, who seemed to be the leader of the group.

"No, I may be of help if it's a living being, but definitely not a ship!"

This group were the acolytes who had been teleported by Emery just moments ago. They had been continuously searching for the spaceship. Afraid of being discovered by the elves, they couldn't help but feel anxious the longer they wandered around.

Knowing the group's sentiment, Jinkan walked over to Klea. Her eyes glanced at the unconscious Chumo on her shoulder, before speaking to the raven-haired girl. "Can you wake him up? Your friend has the right eye for our situation."

Her inquiry was ignored, as Klea was still concerned about Emery's situation. Knowing what the girl was thinking through her expression, Jinkan couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"There's nothing you can do for your man right now, focus your attention on your own situation!" The Nephilim princess might have seemed rough with her words, but the truth was she was in the exact same situation as Klea.

One of the acolytes interrupted her, "Should we just use the vest instead?"

Before Jinkan could answer, Jai Strider called out to the others. Apparently, his metal puppets had located the said ship's whereabouts and the group quickly made their way there.

It didn't take long for them to arrive before the light interceptor-type spaceship. With Jai's metal spells and Jinkan's knowledge, the group managed to enter the ship and quickly turned on its engines. In no time, everything was activated and they were ready to go.

The acolytes were about to relax, when they suddenly felt chills all over their bodies. At this moment, they all could clearly sense the approach of a powerful figure – one with grand magus power.

"Quick! We must leave!"

Unfortunately, they weren't fast enough because the figure had arrived and landed in front of the ship. Some were ready to fight to the death, while others were on the verge of activating their vests. But then, the group realized that the other party was a human grand magus.

In particular, Jinkan recognized the man. With a sigh of relief, she quickly let the other party in.

"Elder Lucius, whe–"

Her words quickly caught in her throat as the grand magus entered and laid the two cold bodies on his shoulders. The ship fell silent as everyone recognized one of the two, their faces turning pale with shock.

All the acolytes were stunned to see that one of the bodies was actually their missing headmaster Altus Dreyden, who was a supreme magus figure. As for the other one, seeing his face made the previously dispirited Klea cry out.

"Magus Xion!"

Once again, Klea thought of Emery. Whether he knew about his master's condition. At that, she couldn't help but shed a tear. After all, she knew too well how close and tight their bond was.

"We are leaving now!' The grand magus said, as he quickly moved toward the pilot seat and flew the ship away.

As the ship flew into the atmosphere, the group could see a bright light shining at the site of their previous battle. Seeing such a sight, Klea clenched her fists as a worried look appeared on her face.

"Please be safe, Emery."

The bright light was the clash of spells between two grand magus, which was quickly followed by Emery's [Dao Matter].

When it was not enough, Emery swiftly entered the gap between the ship hull and cast [Black Hole].

It was Zenonia's most powerful spell and the fact Emery could cast it without much training was something beyond than just his increased comprehension of the law of space and gravity.

Channeling the spirit energy within his core, the spell took effect and materialized a jet-black ball of energy the size of his thumb. Then, a moment later, a swirling vortex emerged from the center of the ball, which began to exert a strong gravitational force, pulling in everything that exists in the surrounding area and devouring them, gradually turning bigger and bigger.

After successfully casting [Black Hole], Emery planned to leave right away. However, he decided to hold the idea. Not only because the two powerful offensive spells he had just cast had consumed a large portion of his spirit pool, he also wanted to make sure that they would do their job completely.

Therefore, he remained where he was, watching the spell, hoping it would be strong enough to stop the ship from leaving the planet.

A moment after three dark elf magus appeared by entering the hole in the wall that Emery had made. Their eyes were drawn to the developing black hole first, alarm flashed in their eyes, before glaring at Emery.

"What have you done?!"

"Kill him!"

Just as the three of them were about to pounce on Emery, the black hole's gravitational pull caused a strong tremor to ripple throughout the ship, causing the three magus to lose their balance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Emery cast [Blink] and arrived at the corner of the room. His hands gripped onto the nearby main beams of the elven battleship tightly, ensuring it stayed in place.

Right before his eyes, Emery saw two of the three elf magus had their body pulled into the now swirling jet-black vortex, causing heart-rending screams through the air.

As the black hole continued to suck in the surroundings, becoming bigger and stronger, the elven battleship shook even more violently.

It was clear his actions here were of great concern to the elves, as more elf magus appeared and entered through the hole. Some of them went to repair the destroyed hull of the ship, while others began throwing offensive spells at Emery.

Unfortunately for them, every single spell they cast did not make it to Emery, as all of them ended up being devoured by the swirling vortex.

The group of dark elf magus could be seen starting to panic as the black hole continued to grow. By this time, it had grown to two meters in size and its gravitational force was able to affect the main structure of the elven battleship.

"It's going to destroy the ship!"

Seeing dozens of dark elf mages rushing towards him with killing intent and how big his black hole had become, Emery knew this was the cue for him to leave. He swiftly cast another teleportation spell and escaped, while the ship was dragged down from the sky.
