Earth's Greatest Magus

It took quite a bit of time before Morgana recovered and got back to her feet once again. Even though she looked like she was in a lot of pain, it still wouldn't be able to stop her from what she wanted to do.

"Let's go," She said, beckoning to the peculiar-looking female.

Glita and the other Fey sisters looked like they were about to heed those words, but then Morgana spoke to them. "No. You all better stay here."

To Klea's surprise, even though she didn't give any reason, the Fey sisters listened to the she-wolf's words. Apparently, the girl had quite a high authority within the village.

The time quickly reached noon with the sun hovering above their heads as the two girls walked through the Forbidden Forest with the human sized tube floating above the ground following right behind them.

Other than the glances Morgana threw occasionally at the moving tube, there was just complete silence between them, as both of them had their own thoughts about each other and they weren't pleasant.

Although she tried to ignore it, Klea was still a little uncomfortable with the way the girl kept staring at the tube. Even so, she still tried her best to shake off such negative feelings lest their conflict rekindle.

In fact, she probably would be willing to do anything as long as the girl could help bring Emery back again.

In an attempt to ease the ice, Klea decided to strike up a conversation. Her steps stopped for a second as she turned her head and said, "I am Kleopatra by the way."

Unfortunately, her good efforts ended in vain and made her even more annoyed instead, as Morgana only glanced briefly at her words without saying anything.

"Darn it! How dares she ignore me?! Huh! Calm down, Klea.. Calm down… Let's think positively… maybe she was still somehow affected by my mental attack before… No, no, that won't do. Maybe I should cast it one more time… Let's see if that would cure her attitude."

Worried she would be provoked into starting another clash, Klea quickly put aside the distracting thoughts in her head and hastened her steps to catch up to Morgana. Of course, she made sure the tube was safe from anything.

After traveling through the Forbidden Forest filled with extremely lush trees, the two of them finally arrived at a hill with a tall bluestone rock formation.

Morgana quickly stepped inside the stone circle upon arriving and, instead of calling for the being inside, the girl made a circular motion with her palm and a gate swiftly materialized. Once again, Klea couldn't help but notice that the moves she made were very similar to those Emery usually did.

"You can do space magic?" Klea asked in surprise.

Morgana turned her head, her gaze lingered briefly at her, before she replied, "Not that well. Just follow me."

Without a doubt, this was the first time Klea had managed to enter the miraculous place Emery had told her about.

As soon as sensation returned to her feet, she opened her eyes and found herself in a dark corridor with very dim lighting. At that instant, she could also feel an incomparably rich and dense energy from the direction right in front of her.

A loud rumbling sounded in the air, before being replaced by a deep husky sound that was equally loud.

"Why did you bring someone else to this place?"

It certainly wasn't the welcome Klea was expecting. In fact, it startled her quite a bit. But even so, she still confidently walked through the seemingly endless dark corridor with the floating tube following behind her.

It didn't take her long to arrive at a huge chamber that was still dimly lit, where her gaze was quickly drawn to a huge black dragon-looking creature chained up in a corner of the place. Around it, she could see a strange-looking door and a window that seemed to be peering into the formation of stone outside.

The next thing that caught her attention were the three skeletons beneath the dragon's feet. The sight of the scattered yet still recognizable skeletons couldn't help but add another layer of terrifying atmosphere to the dragon as he spoke to Morgana.

"Who is she, little girl? Are you giving me more things to ravage?" Saying those words, the dragon turned to Klea before its gaze shifted to the floating tube behind her. "Ah, I see now… The boy has returned, it seems."

The dragon returned his gaze at Klea and this time Klea could feel a prickling sensation. She quickly realized it was trying to read her mind, but instead of resisting the attempt, she decided to let the latter in and find what it was looking for.

The dragon was probing through all the things that she experienced from when she arrived at the academy last year, up until the planet where she was kept captive, to the memory of Emery as a magus saving them while gallantly fighting the elves, and finally the scene where Emery's body was brought to her, which was the reason for her to return to Earth – to bring her back to life once again.

When he finally felt the dragon pulling out of her thoughts, Klea could hear chuckle as he said, "What an interesting year."

Klea took a step forward and with a respectful tone, she said, "Please Lord Killgragah, please have a look at his body. Can you please save him?"

Laughter sounded in the air. "Hahaha, even a supreme magus said he couldn't save him. Why do you think I, a simple beast, can?"

Hearing such words, Morgana immediately intervened, "Don't joke around. Can you save him or not?!"

"Huh! What a good way to ask for help!" The dragon snorted.

Klea was astute enough to read through the dragon's behavior. Hence, she tried another tactic, "Please. Lord Killgragh. Please. I'm sure an ancient being like you is much wiser than all those humans combined."

As expected, Klea's words made the dragon chuckle, "Let me take a close look at him."

Knowing what the dragon meant, Klea quickly opened the tube, showing Emery's body lying inside. Immediately after, a thread of spirit energy shot out from the dragon and entered Emery's body.

There was silence as the two of them said nothing, waiting in anxiety. To their dismay, the process took longer than they thought.

When the dragon finally finished with the inspection, he looked stunned for a few moments before he muttered to himself. "He managed to achieve more than expected… A primal core…"

There was a chuckle that actually relieved both girls, but then the dragon spoke to Klea.

"You have successfully brought back Khaos Energy with you… and it's true a piece of his soul was hidden within. However, it was too little… It's not enough to revive him."
