Earth's Greatest Magus

1877 Stop them!

The energy fluctuations within the Celestial structure grew even more intense, causing Emery to open a portal only a few hundred meters away from the surface. Their abrupt exit didn't go unnoticed, and the elves swiftly became aware of their presence. Jinkan quickly led them to run deeper into the hole.

"It's Space magic!! Chase them!!" The elven command rang out, prompting dozens of elven magus to sprint after Emery and his group. They launched multiple spells at their backs, hitting some of the magus who couldn't fly fast enough.

"They got Zetoo!!" Jai's alarmed voice rang out, causing him to abruptly stop and invoke his metal spell. With precision, he summoned metal soldiers to snatch Zetto and the others who had been struck by the enemy's spells, while swiftly erected metal barricades to shield them.

"Go!! Keep going, I will hold them!!" Jai shouted, determination in his voice as he prepared to fend off the pursuing elves and buy time for Emery's group to escape.

Flying at the forefront, Emery exchanged glances with Jinkan. The Nephilim princess seemed to grasp Emery's unspoken request and promptly instructed, "Go help him."

Without hesitation, Emery unleashed his [Blink] ability, teleporting to the rear area to help. Upon his arrival, he witnessed the formidable metal fortress of Jai's puppets already crumbling, and Jai himself was violently thrown backward, blood streaming from his mouth.

Facing a relentless onslaught of over a hundred magius charging toward him, Emery steeled his resolve. His call upon the depths of Khaos power, and from his back, a network of dark tentacles sprouted, coalescing into a formidable force. With unwavering determination, Emery channeled the full extent of his chaotic energy into a singular, devastating spell –

[Repulsion].

The gravity-altering spell successfully held several of the elven magus in place, forcefully pushed some back by a hundred meters, and inflicted injuries upon others.

Three dark elves managed to bypass the shadows and attempted to inflict a devastating wound upon Jai. However, Emery's lightning-fast response left them no chance. He wielded his [Savage blade] in his right hand and [Gentle sword] in his left, engaging all three dark elven magus simultaneously. In a matter of seconds, their blood sprayed through the air as Emery severed them into pieces.

The gruesome sight of their swift demise sent shockwaves through the remaining pursuing elves, instilling fear that proved even more effective than Emery's gravity spell.

Zetto the Berserker, astonished by Emery's prowess, was jolted when urgently instructed, "Take Jai away, now!"

As Zetto and Jai made their tactical retreat, the elves closed in once more, eager to continue their pursuit. Yet, Emery remained undaunted, hovering confidently amidst their ranks. He radiated an aura of confidence and fearlessness, his voice ringing out boldly as he issued a daring challenge to the hundred magus before him, taunting, "Who wants to go next? Come at me!!!"

Amongst the elves, hushed whispers confirmed Emery's identity, with one of them audibly declaring, "That's him... the savage magus!!"

As the news of Emery's presence spread like wildfire among the elven ranks, their resolve hardened. The high elf who appeared to be their leader wasted no time in giving the order, "Advance!" With unwavering determination, the elves surged forward, fully intent on confronting the infamous magus head-on.

Emery wasted no time and unleashed multiple [Shadow Edge] spells, each infused with the overwhelming power of Khaos. The massive energy blades proved to be the most devastating offensive skill in such a confined tunnel.

[Shadow Edge] [Shadow Edge] [Shadow Edge]

The first elf magus struck by the deadly energy blade was either grievously wounded or severed in half, while the next unfortunate elf was thrown back by the sheer force of impact.

Emery continued to cast the energy blades, each strike leaving a trail of destruction, until he felt a draining sensation emanate from his primal core. He knew he had to conserve his darkness spell for the time being.

In the heat of the moment, as tension reached its peak, the high elf leader's voice pierced the air with urgency, shouting, "This is it!! Kill him!!"

The situation seemed dire, but Emery refused to flee. Instead, he harnessed the power of his unique abilities, drawing upon the ancient knowledge of the [Dao divine technique].

He harnessed his mastery over his [shadow edge] skill and duplicated it onto his left hand. But this time, he infused the replicated skill with the essence of his nature core and wielded his [Gentle sword].

The result was not a manifestation of darkness, but rather a radiant blade pulsating with the very forces of nature itself – [Nature edge]. Emery wasted no time in demonstrating his newfound power. He hurled several [Nature edge] attacks toward the approaching elven magus. While it may not have possessed the same raw strength as his darkness-infused abilities, [Nature edge] possessed its own unique potency.

With a flash of brilliance, the light-infused blades struck their targets, leaving behind a trail of vibrant, natural energy. They were enough to wound several of the elven magi and push the rest of them back once again, their surprise at Emery's unanticipated skill evident on their faces.

Frustrated by the turn of events, the high elf leader issued an urgent command, "Let's attack together!" The high elves rallied.

Indeed, a hundred elven magus launching a spell together was a formidable force, one that could even wound a grand magus. Despite the overwhelming magical onslaught, Emery remained undeterred. He saw this as an opportunity to delve deeper into his newfound insights, one that has been building up since he received his Sword Aura.

As the dozens of spells crackled and blasted toward him, Emery swiftly brought both of his swords together in a harmonious union. With an outpouring of his enhanced abilities, he unleashed a spell of unparalleled might.

[Dao Edge].

This spell manifested as a potent cross-slash that radiated both Nature and Khaos. Its power was so immense that it managed to halt the elven bombardment in its tracks.

As smokes covered the tunnel, Emery sensed that more elves were closing in on him. Meanwhile, Jinkan and the others had distanced themselves from the intense battlefield. Before Emery retreated, he [Blink] and In an instant, he appeared right beside the high elf leader, seizing him with a firm grip.

Without hesitation, Emery hurled multiple [Cthulhu Bombs] into the midst of the elven ranks. The result was a deafening explosion, marked by a cataclysmic

KABOOOOM!!

The shockwave and devastation caused by the explosion took a heavy toll on the elven forces. As the smoke gradually cleared, Emery had already made a swift getaway, taking the high elf leader as captive.
